I frowned. What did Zhang Guangyin want to say when he called at this time?

I clearly sent him a message last night, saying I was asking for two days off.

"Hey, Brother Yin, what's up?" I answered the phone and asked.

"Changming, where are you now?" Zhang Guangyin asked.

"I just got home," I said truthfully.

"Changming, have you dealt with Li Yan's matter?"

"It's all taken care of." After a pause, I asked, "Brother Yin, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Hehe, it's alright, it's good that it's been taken care of. I happen to have some free time today, and I'm planning to go into the village to see if I can expand my business. I'll set off now and should be able to get there by 3 p.m.," Zhang Guangyin chuckled on the phone.

"Are you coming to my house?" I asked.

I don't believe a single word Zhang Guangyin says now. With his pathetic state, how could he possibly expand business?

Nobody would believe that.

"Yes, I think you've been working at the courier station for two or three years now, and I've never been to your house. Xiao Deng is in your Dafeng Village this afternoon, so I'll go visit you while I'm at it."

"All right."

I chatted with Zhang Guangyin for a few minutes and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, I frowned. Zhang Guangyin's sudden visit to my house was definitely not just a coincidence, and the fact that he was coming with Deng Xiaohong meant that if I wasn't mistaken, they wanted to see me and definitely didn't have any good intentions.

Since they want to find out my true strength, I might as well take this opportunity to find out their purpose as well.

Time passed quickly.

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

I was cleaning at home when I suddenly heard a knock on the door. I went out and opened the door and saw Zhang Guangyin standing at the door carrying a large bag of things, followed by Deng Xiaohong.

"Hehe, Changming, it's my fault, really. We've been colleagues for so long, but I've never been to your house before," Zhang Guangyin said with a smile.

“Brother Yin is usually busy, and besides, our Dafeng Village is so remote that outsiders rarely come in.” I smiled and then led them in.

After Zhang Guangyin entered my house, he looked around and asked, "Changming, I remember you have an old man in your family, but I don't see him here?"

"Fifth Grandfather must have gone to the fields," I replied perfunctorily, and led them to sit down in the living room.

"Brother Changming, I heard from Brother Yin that you went to Anzi Town to catch ghosts last night?" Deng Xiaohong asked.

"Mm." I nodded gently.

"What does that dirty thing look like?" Deng Xiaohong asked, showing great interest.

"Haven't you seen it before?" I suddenly asked, staring straight at Deng Xiaohong.

Deng Xiaohong paused for a moment, then shook her head and said softly, "When I was in school, my teacher said that we should believe in science and break away from superstition, so these things... hehe, you know what I mean."

“Changming, Xiao Deng hasn’t experienced this before, so naturally he has his doubts. I was the same way before,” Zhang Guangyin interjected. “By the way, what exactly was it that stole Li Yan’s chickens?”

“It’s a ghoul,” I replied.

"What is a corpse demon?" Zhang Guangyin asked, puzzled.

"It's when a zombie is fed human blood and then becomes a ghoul." As I spoke, I stared intently into Zhang Guangyin's eyes.

I noticed that Zhang Guangyin's eyes were somewhat evasive, especially when he said that he had fed the blood to humans; his expression became somewhat flustered.

"Ahem, that's probably impossible. Who would do something like that?" Zhang Guangyin coughed twice and said.

"Who knows? Maybe some people are trying to harm others," I shrugged and said casually.

"Uh..." Zhang Guangyin was momentarily speechless.

Deng Xiaohong nudged Zhang Guangyin with her elbow and asked, "Changming, did you deal with that so-called corpse demon?"

"No, I chased her away, but she'll probably go find the person who fed her human blood."

As I said this, I glanced at Zhang Guangyin and noticed that he trembled slightly and a look of panic flashed across his face.

Deng Xiaohong patted Zhang Guangyin on the shoulder and stood up, saying slowly, "Changming, your house is quite nice, the environment is good, and it's very quiet."

"Little Deng is joking. The dilapidated houses in the countryside can't compare to those in the city." I could tell that Deng Xiaohong was trying to change the subject.

"The countryside is quite nice. I'd like to stay there for a while sometime and experience it properly," Deng Xiaohong said, looking around. "Changming, would you mind showing me around?"

I didn't understand what Deng Xiaohong was trying to do, but I nodded anyway.

After I had walked around Guangyin's yard, Deng Xiaohong suddenly pointed to my main hall and asked, "Changming, what's that room for?"

"Oh, that's my living room." I frowned slightly and said casually.

"Oh, so this is where ancestors are worshipped. Can we go in and take a look? I've heard about it for a long time, but I've never seen it before," Deng Xiaohong asked, showing great interest.

I shook my head and said, "I'm sorry, it's a family rule that outsiders can't just enter the living room."

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just curious. If I can't go in, that's fine. We can't break the rules," Deng Xiaohong said slowly, her smile unchanged.

"It's getting late. I'll go prepare dinner. You can stay and have dinner before you go back."

Zhang Guangyin waved his hand and said, "No, we still have some things to take care of at the courier station, so we'll head back now."

I didn't insist they stay. After seeing them to the door, I watched them ride away on their bikes, my brow furrowed.

Judging from Zhang Guangyin's behavior just now, he is undoubtedly the one who fed the corpse demon human blood. But why is Deng Xiaohong interested in my family's hall? What exactly does he want to do?

Although all the evidence points to Zhang Guangyin, and the person behind him must be Deng Xiaohong, I have no intention of exposing them. I have already taken two days off, and I can finally rest at home. In a little over ten days, it will be my birthday, and the great calamity that has been haunting me will also be about to arrive.
