Capital City, Dufu

Du Yufeng was used to reading at night by candlelight, from elementary school to the Imperial College, and he had been doing this for more than twenty years, because he knew how to enjoy the quietness of the night better than others. But tonight, Du Yufeng couldn't calm down. He could always hear a child.

A nursery rhyme he had never heard before was sung in the yard.

"Butler! Butler!" Du Yufeng finally couldn't bear it anymore and threw away the book and stood up: "Butler, come in quickly."

Butler Du Changgui hurriedly ran in: "Uncle, what are your orders?"

Du Yufeng said irritably: "Go to the yard and see whose child is singing nursery rhymes! Hurry and put him back to sleep. The noise is annoying."

"Child? Singing nursery rhymes?" Butler Du Changgui was a little confused: "No! Why didn't I hear it?"

Du Yufeng shouted angrily: "You sang so loudly, didn't you hear? Are you so old that you are deaf? Didn't you hear, was he singing something like pug?"

Du Changgui hurriedly responded: "Yes...my ears are not working very well. I'm going to find someone right now. Please sit down for a while, sit down for a while."

Du Changgui came out of the study and started to curse: "A son-in-law thinks of himself as his father? If it weren't for the miss's pampering, any servant would make you miserable..."

He was afraid of dogs, and he insisted that there was a child singing...Why the hell didn't he say there was a kid singing..."

Du Changgui said that he was a little scared. He shivered for no reason and only felt a numbness in his back: "Don't be serious..."

Du Changgui tried his best to lift the lantern up so that the lantern could shine as far as possible... But he regretted it immediately. Without the light, he could not see anything, and with the light, he could not see clearly. He always felt that

There was something vaguely moving under the light, but when he turned the light in the direction of the shadow, he couldn't see anything anymore.

"A pug... loves to eat meat and bones..."

"There are really children singing." Du Changgui was excited again: "Dog, dog..."

Du Changgui walked towards the gate by mistake. The dogs used by the Du family to watch the door were all tied up in the gatehouse. He was not far away from the gatehouse now, and maybe some child was playing with the dog.

Thinking of this, Du Changgui walked toward the concierge in three or two steps, which almost turned into a trot in the end.

"Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu...come out to greet me...are there any children singing in your room..."

Du Changgui was running and shouting, but far away he saw the concierge Xiao Liu, whose face was covered with blood. He leaned half out of the window, stretched out his right hand with three fingers missing, and shouted intermittently: "Help... help

I...dog...dog...eats people..."

Du Changgui saw a bloody dog's paw sticking out from Xiao Liu's back.

The moment Xiao Liu was pawed on his shoulder, he instinctively looked back, only to be bitten in the neck by the yellow-haired mastiff he had raised for several years.

A blood arrow more than a foot high spurted out from the mastiff's mouth, and Xiao Liu's head hung softly. The body was dragged into the house bit by bit by the dog along the window. The pair of empty eyes before landing on the ground

The moment his eyes met Du Changgui's, a pale figure was reflected.

Du Changgui clearly saw a smiling child in Xiao Liu's eyes, floating on his shoulder, with a smile as white as snow right next to his ear.

"Ghost--" Du Changgui couldn't care less about how he could see the shadow reflected in the eyes of a dead man from so far away, let alone care about the lives of several other people in the concierge. He ran back, falling repeatedly along the way.

After falling down, he ran to Du Yufeng's courtyard.

"Uncle... it's not good! There's a ghost... a dog eats a human... Oh my god... a snake..."

Through the light reflected on the window paper, Du Changgui saw the shadow of Du Yufeng sitting in front of the table with a book. A snake-shaped black shadow hung down from the beam, curved in the air, and bowed from

Behind Du Yufeng, a big mouth opened silently. When Du Feiyu heard the housekeeper yell, he turned around and looked back, but he happened to hit the giant snake's mouth.

From the outside, the snake shadow reflected on the window paper took Du Yufeng's head into his mouth in just one bite, and then twisted the snake's body and retreated towards the beam. Du Yufeng, who weighed more than 100 kilograms,

It struggled twice at first, but soon stopped moving. The body seemed to be suspended by a rope, rising little by little, and disappeared into the house in the blink of an eye.

"Come here... come here..." Du Changgui was so frightened that he was piled on the ground and couldn't move except for shouting for people.

The guards of the Du Mansion ran over in twos and threes, and even the eldest lady Du Yuxin also came over: "Uncle Gui, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as the housekeeper Du Changgui saw the eldest lady in charge of the Du Mansion coming, he cried incoherently: "Miss! It's not good! Xiao Liu, let the dog eat it, my uncle let a snake eat it!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Du Yuxin said angrily: "My uncle is obviously standing there!"
