C13 (2/2)

There was a loud boom, as if thunder had struck the courtyard.

As soon as I raised my head, I saw that Da Niu's face was pale and his eyes were wide open as if he had seen a ghost.

When I looked in his direction, I was shocked as well. I saw a man wearing a birthday suit standing outside. His entire body was wet and his face was purple. He had a hunched back and was staring at the portrait of himself in the mourning hall.

It was Zhang Yuquan!

I felt a chill in my heart, and I thought, I must have seen a ghost this time.

As for Lan Xiang, she screamed and threw herself into Da Niu's arms.

”Ao!” A weird cry rang out. Zhang Yu's whole body jumped as he stood stiffly in the mourning hall. There was a muffled bang as if a heavy hammer had struck my heart.

I couldn't help but shiver when I saw Zhang Yuquan jumping towards us like a zombie on TV. I was about to dodge when a strong hand grabbed me. I turned my head to see that it was Yi Yun.

His face was calm, without any signs of panic.

”Don't worry, he's not here to look for us,” Yi Yun said softly, not moving at all.

Sure enough, the moment Zhang Yuquan stepped into the mourning hall, he shot toward Da Niu and Lan Xiang like an arrow leaving the bowstring. His eyes turned bloodshot as if he had come alive.

The sight sent chills down my spine. If not for Yi Yun's presence, I would have escaped long ago.

Although Zhang Yuquan's movements were stiff, his speed was very fast. He opened his arms and grabbed the neck of the ox. The bull's eyes turned white and its neck began to crack. It even spat out its tongue.

Although Da Niu was panicking, he wasn't a fish to be cut. He picked up a bench and shamelessly threw it at Zhang Yu Quan. After a few bangs, the wooden bench actually broke into pieces.

When Lan Xiang saw that Da Niu had been restrained, she picked up the bolt and swung it towards his arms. Although the woman's strength was slightly lower, she was still stronger than the bolt. After a few moments, Zhang Yuquan's arms went limp and fell on Da Niu's shoulders.

Da Niu took a few deep breaths and then opened his hands. He then kicked Zhang Yuquan's chest, causing him to jump back a few steps and fall to the ground like a log.

I turned back to look at Yi Yun, only to see that he had turned a blind eye to this. He was holding his cell phone, not knowing what to do.

A ”ding” sound rang out. I took out my phone and checked it. It was a message from an unfamiliar number. The message was: 12 PM. There's something to see!

I raised my head and saw that Yi Yun had already put away his phone and was looking at me mysteriously.

I then understood that he was the one who sent the message. I looked at the time and saw that it was 11: 56 PM. I couldn't help but be curious. What did he mean by that?

On the other side, Zhang Yu was lying on the ground, struggling with both of his arms crippled. His face was blank, even though his head had been caved in, there was no trace of pain on his face. He was definitely dead.

Da Niu and Lan Xiang straightforwardly grabbed a thick hemp rope and tied Zhang Yu up tightly like a dumpling.

Looking at the two's skilled movements, I couldn't help but suspect that the two of them had really good teamwork. No matter how I looked at it, it didn't seem like it was the first time they had done such a thing.

”Oh, Mom is playing games with Dad again.” Clapping sounds came from outside the door. I turned around to see that it was Zhang Yuquan's foolish son. He had an excited expression on his face as he sized everything up.

After hearing those words, my heart immediately thumped. The word 'again' in the words of this foolish son attracted my attention.

”Ding!” I lowered my head and saw that it was already 12 o'clock!
