It's over! Shen Qingyu knew in her heart that Mrs. Liu might have been frightened by the wolf's sound, but more probably because her daughter-in-law didn't go to her place to look after her first and was looking for an opportunity to have an attack.

She was worried that Mr. Wen would be blamed, so she naturally wanted to go with her, "Mother, let me go with you. I'm also worried that grandma will be frightened."

When the group arrived at Mr. Liu's residence, it was indeed packed with people.

When Mrs. Liu saw Mrs. Wen coming to greet her, she acted as if she hadn't heard her and refused to get up. She only spoke to Mrs. Sun beside her.

"Grandma," Shen Qingyu rushed towards Mrs. Liu, "I'm scared to death. Why are there wolves here? They won't suddenly jump out and eat people!"

The relationship between her and Mr. Liu was very unfamiliar, but she knew very well that if she didn't deliberately attract Mr. Liu's attention, Mr. Liu would probably pretend not to see it and keep ignoring Mr. Wen.

She had no choice but to suppress her discomfort and act coquettishly with Ms. Liu.

After Shen Qingyu interrupted like this, Mrs. Liu could not continue to ignore Mrs. Wen and said, "Get up!"

"What if there are wolves in a nice house?"

"That's right! Is it someone's dog barking nearby?"

"The sound definitely doesn't come from somewhere else."

Everyone chattered for a while before remembering the screams from before.

Mrs. Liu said: "Bring the one who screamed to answer the question."

After a while, a maid was brought up.

Her whole body was shaking, her face was pale, and she seemed to be frightened.

When Mr. Liu asked about the reason, the little maid knelt on the ground with a plop, and replied tremblingly: "The fourth girl said she was too hungry to sleep, so she asked the slave to go to the kitchen to get something to eat. When the slave returned, she felt something was following her.

Behind, but when I look back, there is nothing.”

"While passing a corner, this slave saw, saw..."

She paused and then said: "I saw the shadow on the wall. In addition to the slave's shadow, there was also the shadow of a wolf. The shadow of this wolf was huge, definitely not the size of an ordinary wolf. The slave was startled and followed the wall

The shadow of the wolf suddenly opened its mouth and rushed towards the slave."

Mrs. Liu exchanged glances with the people around her, and then asked the maid: "Is what you said true?"

"This slave dare not lie."

In the end, the incident about the howling wolf was dropped because after the little girl said she saw the shadow of the wolf, the entire Shen family searched the Shen house five times, but still found nothing.

A few days passed peacefully like this, and when everyone relaxed their vigilance, there was another noise at night. This time it was not the howling of wolves, but the sound of sheep.

The cry of the sheep is extremely shrill, the sound it makes when it is on the verge of death.

The sound ended so quickly that it was impossible to find where it came from.

And along with the sound, several people said they encountered the shadow of a sheep, which was exactly the same as the wolf incident.

First the wolf howled, then the sheep, which made everyone a little uneasy.

Inevitably, I remembered a place. There was a temple in Shengjing, which enshrined not a single Bodhisattva, but a wolf statue and a sheep statue.

According to legend, wolves and sheep are very vengeful. If they are offended, they will drag the person who offends them to death with them, even at the risk of their lives.

Later, some good people built a temple according to the legend, but only butchers and hunters visited it.

After Shen Qingyu listened to Qiaohe's popular science allusion to her, she couldn't help but think of that sentence, greedy as a wolf and ruthless as a sheep.

This legend does have some meaning, but I don't know what it has to do with what happened to the Shen family.

Shen Qingyu had heard dogs barking, but not wolves. The sound the night before yesterday, let alone whether it was a wolf or a dog, was the strangest thing to have disappeared out of thin air.

Or did the animal, who didn’t know whether it was a wolf or a dog, get in through the hole and leave early when people were searching for it?

A well-trained dog might be able to do this, but is it also possible for a sheep?

Shen Qingyu always felt that the cries of wolves and sheep seemed to have some other purpose, but she couldn't figure it out for a moment.

This can be regarded as a strange thing that happened to the Shen family recently. Shen Qingyu had nothing to do and could just investigate what was going on.

With Ruyi, she decided to check the dog hole first. If there was one, it also represented the possibility of the two animals entering and exiting from the outside.

After searching around, I did find a dog hole, but the entrance was too small. A dog might be able to get in, but a sheep might not be able to get in.

Shen Qingyu squatted in front of the dog hole, silently thinking about the possibility of getting in.

After squatting for half a day, Shen Qingyu turned to look for the maid who had said she saw the shadow of a wolf.

"This is the shadow I saw on this wall." The maid who said she saw the shadow of the wolf pointed to the wall where the shadow had been printed.

Judging from the light source and the maid's shadow, if the wolf's shadow appears behind, then the wolf should be nearby, but why can't the maid find it when she looks back?

Unless the wolf doesn't exist at all.

Shen Qingyu thought about it carefully, this kind of trick is still very common, as long as everything is prepared, any shadow should not be a problem.

In order to verify her conjecture, she began to search for clues that the fake shadow might leave behind.

But I don’t know if the initiator was too cautious and found nothing at all.

What makes Shen Qingyu wonder is, are these shadows just for scaring people? If that's the case, then the person who made them is quite interesting.

Shen Qingyu also guessed that one of the two new girls Shen did it, but what was the purpose of doing so!

If there is any specific purpose, it means that the matter is not over yet, and the development of the matter is just the beginning at best.

Shen Qingyu did what he could, satisfied his curiosity, and prepared to go back.

On the way, she accidentally saw a nanny cursing people. The words she said were very unpleasant, "What is the use of your life?" "What a waste." "Shameless." and so on.

What Shen Qingyu picked out was already a relatively normal sentence.

The little girl's face turned red after being scolded, but she did not dare to refute, tears welling up in her eyes.

As the grandma left, Shen Qingyu took a few steps forward and handed her handkerchief to the little girl.

"do not Cry!"

The little girl raised her head and saw Shen Qingyu. She hurriedly took the handkerchief and acted very embarrassed, so she excused herself and left.

Shen Qingyu thought of the grandma who just scolded her, and asked curiously: "Who is that grandma? Why is she so fierce?"

Ruyi said: "That's Sun's wet nurse. She married with the eldest lady. I heard she has a bad temper and often beats and scolds people around her."

Even if Shen Qingyu heard about it, she didn't take it seriously. She just regarded it as a small episode.
