Chapter 36 A Little Monster
Chapter 36 A Little Monster
The author has something to say: I found a bug in the previous chapter, so I changed it~ Zhan Zhan’s car is still in the company and has not been driven back, so he drove the local luxury car of the factory manager~
#36 Farmhouse
Zhan Zhixing walked into the underground garage naturally, saw the Aston Martin parked there quietly, looked at the key in his hand, and found that he was not holding his own car key, and then remembered that his car was parked in the company .
So how did he get here?It seemed that Tang Ningcheng sent him here, but it didn't seem like he was.
Zhan Zhixing shook his head, giving up on this question that would really give him a headache, and then asked the bouncing Mian next to him.
"Yuzi, is this your factory manager's car?"
"The factory manager said it's for you! It's for you!"
Zhan Zhixing understood Mian's words for a while, and then the meaning became - Factory Manager Fang knew that his car didn't come, so he wanted to lend him to drive it!
Although the factory manager Fang is not familiar with him, he is quite polite. He hesitated for a moment gratefully in his heart, and recalled the surrounding routes. Thanks to the kindness of the factory manager, he carefully opened the car worth more than ten years of his annual salary, sat in it more carefully, and fumbled for a while.
"Come back and thank your factory director for me."
Mian was brought into the car by Zhan Zhixing casually, but now she was thrown into a daze, and she was circling in the back seat, unable to tell which direction Zhan Zhixing was in.
Zhan Zhixing also said casually, his attention was on the car.He had never driven a luxury car before, thinking that he would not even know where he was blocking, but found that it was unexpectedly smooth, and he tried it nervously, although the excitement of driving a luxury car for the first time in his heart did not bring him I was a little bit happy, but the pleasure of accelerating at that moment was still enjoyable.
He thought that the gap of 500 million is not just in the brand.
However, the pleasure of driving an Aston Martin is only momentary, and that feeling has long since disappeared after Zhan Zhixing drove the car out. He even felt chest tightness and shortness of breath while driving a car.
There is nothing that can make him happy. People who have never experienced this kind of feeling really can't imagine it. Even severe depression has a few good memories, but he can't even think of a single bit.
But waiting for the red light for half a minute, he sighed seven times in a row. When the red light passed, he stepped on the gas pedal, and the car shot out like an arrow, leaving only an afterimage in the middle of the road.Zhan Zhixing saw that there were no cars on the road, touched the phone and dialed Zhou Zhilin's number.
"Eh? Lawyer Zhan? What? Anything else?"
"Yes, where are you? Shall I talk to you face to face?"
Zhan Zhilin felt the guilty conscience in Zhou Zhilin's voice through the mobile phone signal. After a while, Zhou Zhilin hesitantly turned the words in his mouth several times, and uttered a complete sentence.
"Well, Lawyer Zhan, have you been recruited? I'm really sorry! It's all my fault! But I really don't know what to do! Zhou Hong is gone, and I can't find her either!"
"Mr. Zhou, first, I am not looking for you to trouble you. It doesn't matter how I got caught. Now I just want to find a solution. Second, this is indeed your fault, so you should cooperate with me , where are you? I'll go find you."
Zhou Zhilin was stunned for a moment, his impression of Zhan Zhixing changed three times in one day, he was not sure which one was the real appearance of Zhan Zhixing, but he really didn't have the confidence to refuse this tough tone, he hesitated twice Sound, gave Zhan Zhixing an address.
In fact, Zhan Zhixing is not as calm as he appears at this moment, he must get rid of all emotions in order to talk to people 'normally', otherwise he will be immersed in the emotion of 'what's the point of living only in pain' I can't extricate myself.
So, he got the address and navigated immediately, started on the road without stopping, and saw Zhou Zhilin outside Zhou Zhilin's community half an hour later.
Zhou Zhilin's impression of Zhan Zhixing quietly changed again. When he saw Zhan Zhixing's head sticking out of a car worth tens of millions, his first reaction was that lawyers can make so much money. Back then, I went to school well and went to the bar exam.
He leaned over, touched the front of the car lightly, and looked enviously at Zhan Zhixing.
"Lawyer Zhan, how much did this car cost? How does it drive? I'll fix one another day!"
"Borrowed from someone, where are we talking?"
Zhan Zhixing's colleague who abandoned his emotions blocked all irrelevant things together, and only wanted to solve his problems as soon as possible. He was afraid that if he continued, he would think of more painful things and would have an emotional breakdown.
Before Zhou Zhilin could answer whether he was here, he had already parked the car on the side of the road, got out of the car, and left Mian in the car, although he didn't know if he could keep it.
Zhou Zhilin realized the saliva that was about to flow from the corner of his mouth, and looked away embarrassedly. Zhanzhi's pedestrians had already arrived in his neighborhood, so he couldn't really be on the side of the road.
"My house is over there."
Zhan Zhixing didn't say much, and followed Zhou Zhilin silently.This is a bungalow community with a good environment. They walked through the green belt all the way, and finally found Zhou Zhilin's house in the innermost part of the community.
"Ms. Zhou doesn't live here?"
When Zhan Zhixing entered the door, the first thing he saw was the shoe rack at the door, on which there were only two pairs of men's slippers and men's leather shoes.Zhou Zhilin was not sensitive to this topic, so he answered it generously.
"She doesn't live here anymore, Lawyer Zhan, please come in."
Zhou Zhilin led Zhan Zhixing into the room, sat down in the living room, poured two cups of tea, then sat opposite Zhan Zhixing, sighed twice while holding the teacup, and said.
"Lawyer Zhan, to tell you the truth, Zhou Hong and I have been separated for almost half a year. That woman left the law firm today and didn't know where she was going. I couldn't get in touch with her no matter what."
There was no surprise about the result of the Zhanzhi trip. He had already expected it to be like this before he came, and he never let go of his brows. After thinking for a while, he asked.
"Do you know the purpose of her doing this? I'm just a lawyer, and I can't directly affect the result of your divorce. The agreement must be agreed by both of you, so she can't get any benefits by doing this. What is the motive? "
Zhou Zhilin frowned and didn't dare to look at Zhan Zhixing. He felt that Zhan Zhixing's analysis was very reasonable, but Zhou Hong was not a reasonable person. In his opinion, Zhou Hong's "cursing" Zhan Zhixing was just like the right person. Like the workers on the construction site, they are all to scare him. In the final analysis, the reason may be 'she is happy' or 'she is not happy'.
Therefore, it was really hard for him to come back directly to the question of Zhan's trip, and he unconsciously smoothed things over for himself.
"What? I really can't figure out what she is thinking. She used to be quite normal. Although she often came back with messy prescriptions, in the past two years, or more than a year, she met a teacher somewhere. The whole person has changed."
"teacher?"
"Wait!"
Zhou Zhilin finally put down the teacup, went back to the bedroom, took out a photo, and handed it to Zhan Zhixing.
"That's the man!"
The photo is a group photo of Zhou Hong and a man. There is a distance of one person between them, sitting side by side in front of the tea table in the gazebo. There is a straw curtain behind them, which is not tightly blocked, and you can see the mountains and lake behind.
Zhan Zhixing's attention fell on the man, and he frowned more and more as he looked at it, and finally confirmed that the man in the photo was indeed Mo Feng's assistant whom he met at the Jingbaoshan construction site that day.
He tightened his grip on the photo, and then loosened it. He had put the photo back on the coffee table, but he took it back suddenly. He stared at the two people behind the photo in panic. There was a half-hidden figure, almost like grass. The curtains are integrated.
"What's wrong? Lawyer Zhan?"
Seeing Zhan Zhixing's movements, Zhou Zhilin leaned over strangely, Zhan Zhixing turned the photo to him, and pointed to the straw curtain behind the two of them.
"Is there something here?"
Zhou Zhilin's eyes were so wide that he was about to fall on the photo. He had seen this photo so many times and wanted to say nothing at first, but he didn't know if he was influenced by Zhan Zhixing. He really felt that Zhan Zhixing was referring to There is a shadow in the place, but it looks like grass marks on the straw curtains. It does look like a mouse, he murmured uncertainly.
"Looks like a mouse?"
Zhan Zhixing confirmed that he was not mistaken. Although he had never seen Xu Hua, he believed that there was no such a coincidence, so he asked Zhou Zhilin.
"Do you know who this man is?"
"I don't know, but Zhou Hong said that she seems to have met in a farmhouse in the suburbs. I heard from her that there is a breeding factory there."
"Farming plant?"
Zhan Zhixing recounted it again, and when he heard "what kind of breeding factory", the first thing he thought of was "monster breeding". Searched all over my mind and found nothing.
Suddenly, Zhou Zhilin suddenly realized and slapped his thigh.
"By the way, Zhou Hong said that before she came here today, she lived in that farmhouse. Will she go back there again?"
Zhan Zhixing immediately returned to the state of abandoning all emotions, and he had already stood up when Zhou Zhilin finished speaking.
"take me."
"But--"
Zhou Zhilin hesitated for a moment, and there was a trace of obvious fear in his eyes, but when he saw the journey of the eye, guilt and guilt surged in his heart, and he finally agreed with his teeth.
"Okay! Brother, I will definitely settle this matter for you today!"
Zhou Zhilin said that the wind was rain, and immediately went to copy the guy. Zhan Zhilin didn’t know what he brought, but after a few minutes, he saw Zhou Zhilin carrying a travel bag out of it, and said to him: “Let’s go, Lawyer Zhan!”
Zhan Zhixing didn't think about Zhou Zhilin's plans, he just needed to find Zhou Hong and find a way to undo his black magic.
Both of them went downstairs without any nonsense, and then got into the car.
Mian, who was left in the car, saw that Zhan Zhixing brought a strange man into the car, and sat in the factory director's exclusive seat, even he didn't dare to sit in it.It angrily twisted Yuanyuan's body and crawled towards the front seat, examining Zhou Zhilin several times from head to toe.
"Who is this person! Who is this person!"
"This is the position of the factory manager! This is the position of the factory manager!"
Zhou Zhilin couldn't see Mian, let alone hear its sound, only Zhan Zhixing frowned, and he slapped Mian on the back seat pretending to slap a mosquito.
Mian was dizzy again in the back seat for a long time, staring angrily at Zhan Zhixing from the rearview mirror, but Zhan Zhixing completely ignored it, it was angry, it should stop talking to this one, abandoned the dgt and then accelerated, driving on the high speed Afterwards, he subconsciously drove at the speed of the racing car, overtaking all the way, and only realized when he noticed that Zhou Zhilin started to grab the handrail, he was speeding.
"Lawyer Zhan, I can't tell you're driving so—very hard!"
"Excuse me."
In fact, Zhanzhi has always complied with the traffic regulations. After driving the car for so many years, he has almost never been deducted excessively.
In fact, Zhan Zhixing didn't pay attention to the rearview mirror at all. He focused on the front and let go of all the thoughts in his mind. When the car got on the highway, there was only one thought in his mind - driving.
Looking at the rising numbers on the speedometer, he seemed to have no feeling at all, and he also forgot the rules he usually followed. He only felt that the feeling of speeding could bring him a sense of pleasure that he had never experienced before, so he continued involuntarily. Step on the gas pedal.
It wasn't until Zhou Zhilin shook the safety handrail tightly to remind him that he realized that he had already driven 200 yards.
Feeling the speed of the car slow down, Zhou Zhilin's beating heart finally slowed down. He took a deep breath, feeling that he didn't know enough about Zhan Zhixing.Fortunately, the Zhanzhi trip did not continue to drag the car, and they arrived near the farmhouse smoothly.
Zhou Zhilin didn't know exactly where the farmhouse was. It was a small town. Zhan Zhixing pulled the car over to the side of the road and said to Zhou Zhilin, "Get out of the car and ask."
When Zhan Zhixing opened the door and got out of the car, he remembered that 'Yuzi' had been slapped by him and then fell silent all the way. He subconsciously glanced at the back seat, but there was nothing in the back seat. He thought it had fallen under the seat, so he got out of the car I searched under the seat, but couldn't find it.
He wasn't sure whether it was because Mian had disappeared, or because he had offended him with a slap, and left by himself, when Zhou Zhilin came over.
"What's wrong, Lawyer Zhan?"
"fine."
Zhan Zhixing closed the car door, and asked separately from Zhou Zhilin. He specifically asked the shops on the street. After walking around, he found that the farmhouse with a breeding factory was quite famous here, and it took almost no time to ask.
The result of Zhou Zhilin's question was the same as his, and the two got into the car again to find the farmhouse.
The location of the farmhouse is still some distance from the town. It is at the foot of a mountain and built in the middle of a large artificial fish pond, like an isolated island in the middle. At this time, the fish pond is full of lotus flowers, which is very artistic. If I would probably be willing to stay here for two days if I change to a normal exhibition trip.
The car can only be parked outside the fish pond, and a vacant space was specially built for parking. Zhan Zhixing found a place to stop the car, and when he got off the car, he saw a huge signboard erected at the entrance of the fish pond—Shouyang Farmhouse.
At this time, it was almost midnight, but the sun was still sufficient. Zhan Zhixing subconsciously looked at the surrounding environment. There was only one path leading to the house in the middle, and then he walked towards the path under the signboard.
Then someone came out to meet them.
"You two, do you have a reservation?"
"I was going to make a reservation, but I forgot to go out in a hurry. Is there still room?"
"Yes, but only on the second floor."
"That's fine."
Zhan Zhixing had a business-like expression, it really didn't look like he was on vacation, the man couldn't help but sized him up from head to toe, Zhou Zhilin immediately stepped forward to intervene, he was still holding his belt in his hand The travel bag, stretched and said.
"Let's find a place to sit first, my brother has been driving for half a day, and his mind is numb!"
"Oh! Excuse me, let's go, let's go!"
The man reacted, smiled sheepishly, and immediately turned around to lead the way.Zhou Zhilin winked wittily at Zhan Zhixing, but Zhan Zhixing didn't even answer his eyelashes, followed the man blankly, and walked away without seeing him.
Zhou Zhilin followed up dejectedly, thinking that Fang Qi was the one who could talk better, and wondered why Fang Qi didn't come with him?Obviously, it looks like he can't wait to tie himself to Zhan Zhixing.
Walking through the middle of the lotus pond was interesting, but Zhan Zhixing didn't feel it at all. He went to the dam outside the gate and observed the surroundings again.
The house was built with regional characteristics, and deliberately incorporated elements of Chinese architecture, using a lot of wood. There are four floors in total, the upper three floors are for accommodation, and the lower floor is for the hall and restaurant.
After they checked in with someone, they first went to the room to put down Zhou Zhilin's travel bag, then the two came down again, and sat down in the restaurant with a good view.
At this time, the sky was already getting dark, and the large lotus leaves outside were swaying in the hot wind, and some people were fishing on the trestle bridge that was built.
Zhan Zhixing looked out, and suddenly found a little monster with three eyes lying on the window sill looking in. He couldn't recognize what it was, and subconsciously thought it was a monster.
Just when he met the sight of the little monster, the monster was startled suddenly, retreated back and fled quickly, Zhan Zhixing chased after him, and found that there was a chain tied to the monster's feet, he didn't know if it was there Physical, but he did hear the clinking like chains, cumbersome to drag behind the monster.
Why tie up the monster?
Zhan Zhixing thought strangely, he had already stood up.
"Mr. Zhou, you order first, and I'll go to the bathroom."
"Order? Oh, order! Come back quickly then."
Zhou Zhilin reacted quickly, Zhan Zhixing pretended to stand up casually, and then walked towards the direction where the three-eyed monster was fleeing.He finally walked out of the restaurant and walked to the back of the house, and found that there was a yard behind, but it was relatively deserted and there seemed to be no people.
But what Zhan Zhixing noticed was that there were several different monsters in the yard, all tied up by chains, and when he appeared, they panicked and hid in the grass.
"Well, guest, you can't come in here."
Zhan Zhixing was in a trance when a voice suddenly came from behind him, which startled him. He looked back and saw a man in his 30s with a dark face and wearing a linen shirt. He suddenly felt that this kind of clothes It looks familiar, as if someone I know has worn it.
"The back of this place has not been repaired, it's not safe, guests, please go to the front for a stroll!"
"I'm looking for a toilet."
"The toilet is inside."
"What's on the other side?"
Zhan Zhixing seemed to ask casually, and glanced to the other side of the yard, opposite to the door was another building.
"It's a breeding factory, the environment is not very good, and the smell is also strong, so guests are generally not allowed to come here."
"What do you feed?"
Zhan Zhixing changed his curious tone, but the man answered very generously.
"Rabbit, last time a little girl came with her father and went to see it, but she cried all night, saying that it is such a cute rabbit, how can she eat a rabbit."
"Then can I go and see?"
"The hygienic conditions are not very good, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."
"I'm just looking outside. I haven't seen how rabbits are raised."
"Then I'll take you there."
The man enthusiastically led Zhan Zhixing across the yard, and from the corner of his eye, Zhan Zhixing secretly glanced at the monsters in the yard, the chains that tied them all lead to a certain place in the farm.
When he arrived at the door, Zhan Zhixing couldn't help but stop. The smell inside was really strong. He had never smelled the smell of a rabbit breeding factory. He didn't know if it was the same smell, but he smelled weird anyway.
"It's pretty much the same inside, nothing to see."
Zhan Zhixing looked in through the door, and the inside was indeed visible at a glance. There was a passage in the middle, with cages on both sides, and there were indeed rabbits in the cage.But he couldn't see where the chains that tied the monsters led to. He wanted to go in, but was stopped by the man.
"You can't go in. Rabbits are easily frightened. If you go in and take a walk, dozens of them may die tomorrow."
Zhan Zhixing frowned in surprise, he didn't know if it was true or not, but everyone had already said so, he couldn't force his way in, he just looked at the door, and went back without seeing anything.
Returning to the restaurant, Zhan Zhixing pretended to go to the bathroom before returning to his seat.
At this time, the fish pond outside was covered with gold, the sun began to set, and there were several tables of people in the restaurant that was completely empty just now, one of which was occupied by a few middle-aged men. Just got back from fishing and discussing tonight's all-fish feast.
"Lawyer Zhan, have you noticed anything? I don't think Zhou Hong is here. Otherwise, seeing me here, he must have come out to make trouble."
Zhou Zhilin approached Zhan Zhixing and whispered, Zhan Zhixing frowned, not intending to tell Zhou Zhilin about the monster, so he replied.
"Observe first, I think this place is very weird."
At this time, someone passed by them, and Zhan Zhixing pretended to be looking at the menu seriously, and when they passed by, a middle-aged man's table not far from them suddenly said something. (4201314jtdj)
"That's not it, as long as you buy a monster and go back, then—"
The voice in the back became quieter, and Zhan Zhixing couldn't hear it clearly, but the word 'buy monster' was enough for him to think about it, so he put down the menu.Originally, he planned to go back if he couldn't find Zhou Hong, but at this moment he temporarily changed his itinerary.
"Mr. Zhou, we won't go back today."
"No problem, listen to you!"
Zhou Zhilin didn't have any objections, but Zhan Zhixing felt that there was nothing wrong with not going back. He always felt that there was something important that he had to go back. He rubbed his temples, but he couldn't remember, so he had to give up.
Next, the two of them finished their meal, and the table next to them didn't discuss any more about monsters, and they didn't get any clues, but Zhan Zhixing had already guessed that the boss here sold monsters in the name of farmhouse. It's very big, but out of professional habits, he believes in the tone more.
So, he stayed up until everyone went back to the room to sleep, sneaked out of the room, and went downstairs to the breeding factory behind by the moonlight.
When passing the yard, Zhan Zhixing found that the monsters in the daytime were gone, he carefully leaned towards the breeding plant, but the door was locked, he could only look in through a small crack, but he couldn't see it at a glance. Startled.
The rabbits he saw in the afternoon had all disappeared at this moment, replaced by all kinds of little monsters locked in cages, and countless miserable screams mixed together, making his hair stand on end.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed from behind, and a beam of light shot straight at him, hitting his back precisely, and he froze in a daze.
