Seeing me cover my face as I returned, Elder Miao also looked at me with a baffled expression.

"Did you tease that girl?"

"I did not! She said she wanted to meet me for a movie tonight, and when I said I had to wait a few days, she asked me how many days I had to wait? I said I'd treat her to dinner in a week. "And then she slapped me …"

After hearing what I said, Elder Miao seemed to be confused. "What's wrong with the girls these days?"

Not to mention him, even I was dumbfounded.

On the way back, I asked Elder Miao if he had obtained anything. He first shook his head, but soon after, he nodded his head, making me feel even more depressed.

Then he told me that he had not dared to take a step after he had entered the house, and that he had immediately climbed over the wall and backed out.

"He exited the moment he entered?"

"Yes, as soon as I entered, I immediately noticed that something was amiss. That house seems to have set up some sort of high level antics. I was afraid that it might break the taboo, so I immediately left. "

"Appetite?"

Upon hearing this word, I immediately thought of the puppet in the hands of Tiantai Valley. "Isn't the technique of antics used to harm people?"

Hearing my words, Elder Miao sighed a little before continuing, "Everything has two sides. Those that are harmful to humans naturally have ways to save people. The kind of repulsive technique used by their family, according to my calculations, is used to prevent invasion of external evils. "So I think the atmosphere in their courtyard is very bad, but the people who live in it are fine."

Even though I didn't understand what Elder Miao was talking about, I did get a general idea about it. Dong Wan'er's house did indeed have some kind of secret, and it was most likely related to the construction site.

However, even Elder Miao was unable to enter this place. Thus, who else could I find to help me?

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Elder Miao seemed to have seen through my thoughts and earnestly said, "There are many stages of cultivation. There are also specializations in martial arts." Even though I don't really understand the art of winning, but didn't you seduce someone who knows the art of winning? "

That's right, Gu Yan had also said that Elder Miao was adept in Gu arts, and the Zhang Clan was adept in Gu Sheng techniques. Even though Elder Miao was unable to enter, that didn't mean that Zhang Shimin couldn't. However, the word 'hook' caused me to feel extremely dissatisfied and I couldn't help but glare at him.

He was very open-minded, and when he saw that I was looking at him differently, he turned his head and pretended to be lighting a cigarette.

Before returning to the construction site, I asked Elder Miao to describe what I had felt and seen after entering the house. I planned to ask Zhang Shimin about it tonight.

While waiting for Zhang Shimin to return, I chatted with the chopping board via voice chat.

When it came to the matter of me getting slapped for no reason, the board only replied with one word, "It's time!"

Hey! Good stuff!

The moment I saw that word, I immediately knew that Big Board definitely knew the reason why Dong Wan'er hit me. Thus, I sent her a string of questions along with a shake of my gun.

In the end, the board's reply was very simple, leaving me speechless.

"I bought an aunt towel to invite you to a movie today, yet you refuse to go. You insist on waiting a week for me to treat you to a meal. What are you planning?"

Good heavens! I swear I never thought of that at all... This slap was truly unfair!

A day passed just like this. In next to no time, it was time for the shift to begin.

In the past, when I was on duty, it was the same as the execution ground. After encountering those supernatural things, it was more like being on the guillotine for me. But with Zhang Shimin, this was a completely different story. It was the first time in my life that I was so eager to change shifts!

After handing in my shift, I directly ordered two takeout dishes. I just foolishly looked at the main entrance, looking forward to the return of my lover.

At around seven o'clock, Zhang Shimin arrived as expected. However, she was holding two lunchboxes in her hands.

Didn't she say she didn't have a key? Then how did she get this thermal lunch box? Could it be that someone from her family had returned?

Thinking of this, my mood immediately dropped to the bottom.

"What is it? "You don't want to eat the food I make?"

Seeing my pained expression, Zhang Shimin walked straight into the station and placed the lunch box on the table. Only then did she see the two takeout dishes that I ordered.

"In the future, you need to eat less of these things. It's not only expensive, but also unhygienic."

Hearing her words, I obediently nodded my head. However, when I thought about the fact that I had to stay in an empty room by myself, I couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness. "From today onwards, are you going to go back and live?"

Hearing that, Zhang Shimin suddenly seemed to come to a realization. She couldn't help but burst out into laughter. Then, with a blush, she sneakily looked at me and said, "What? You're not willing to part with me?"

"En!"

Seeing me nod, her face couldn't help but turn even redder. After a long time, she replied like a mosquito, "Don't worry. Before you completely get rid of the danger, I'll accompany you every night."

These words seemed to pierce my heart. Adding to her pitiful appearance, I couldn't help but feel like she had stretched out her Demon Claw!

It turned out to be like last night, and this time it hurt so much I could barely hold my chopsticks...

After dinner, she hung the copper coin with the red string on it on the doorknob and handed me a small wooden object.

When I took a look at it, I couldn't help but be astonished by her cooking skills!

It was a small wooden qilin. Its carving skills were simply top-notch! Not to mention that the scales of the Qilin were faintly discernable, even its eyes were mighty and domineering, full of vigor and vitality!

Seeing that I really liked her, Zhang Shimin looked at me with an ashamed expression and said, "I'm sorry, last time it was all because of our carelessness that we gave the bad guy an opportunity to take advantage of us. Although the bad guy was punished later on, it was because of this that you suffered so much."

Zhang Shimin's specialty seemed to be this pitiful expression. Furthermore, every time she showed that wronged expression, I would immediately surrender.

Seeing this, I directly grabbed both of her hands, "How can that be, idiot? It's all the bad guy's fault. Moreover, didn't he also receive his punishment?"

After hearing what I said, Zhang Shimin turned tears into smiles and happily went to clean up the dishes. As for me, the moment I said those words, my mind immediately exploded with thunderclaps!

"You say that the bad man has been punished? When did this happen? Who is that bad guy? "

Hearing my sudden question, Zhang Shimin replied without hesitation, "My sister-in-law went missing on the first night, so my father knew something must have happened. He used a profound skill of aversion the next day to make the person who harmed my sister-in-law suffer even more severe punishments. However, even my father is not sure who this person is. "

The second day? More severe punishment? Doesn't that mean that the person who tried to kill me was unconscious the day after I swapped the wooden ox with him? Then, what happened after that?
