It was a dark and windy night, and the entire city seemed to be covered by a large quilt. Even the moonlight from the clouds could not penetrate.

In the huge courtyard, it is almost pitch dark.

Li Xiangnan and Wang Defa climbed over the wall into the yard and landed on the ground. It took them a long time to adjust their eyes to the darkness in the yard.

The courtyard seems to have two or three entrances. It is very large, but it seems very empty and lonely.

The two of them squatted beside a water tank with water lilies, staring as wide as they could to see everything within their sight, capturing all useful information.

In such weather tonight, if there is anyone in the yard with the lights on, they can be seen at a glance.

It's only seven o'clock. According to normal logic, even if you go to bed early, the lights in the room won't be turned off so quickly.

But it was really pitch black in the yard, without any light at all.

"We should be going to the backyard!" Li Xiangnan looked around and pointed at the moon gate in front, "The owner should live in the middle courtyard!"

"Xiao Li, do you think Xiao Zhang is under house arrest by this family?" Wang Defa found a broom in front of a door and held it in his hand. "If he is caught and locked up here, I think I have to look around and listen for any struggle or breathing!"

"Fatty!" Hearing this, Li Xiangnan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You forgot, Brother Zhang said that the person he was with in the city was his master! He should live in this house, how could someone harm him! Don't be so rash, you make us look like thieves!"

"Use courtesy before force! Even if you have any tricks, don't show them yet! Let's see what the situation is first! Put down the broom!"

Wang Defa thought about it and it made sense. He hadn't figured out the situation yet. If he accidentally bumped into the owner of the house, it would be difficult to explain with a stick in his hand.

So I followed Xiao Li and walked along the corridor, stopping every two steps and listening in every room.

There was no one around, and all the insects and animals seemed to be quietly dormant at this moment.

There seemed to be countless demons lurking in the darkness all around them, baring their fangs and claws at the two of them.

The unknown is always scary.

This quiet and eerie atmosphere gave even Li Xiangnan goosebumps all over his body, crawling all over his arms.

"squeak!"

As soon as he stepped into the middle courtyard, Li Xiangnan's body suddenly froze, his hair stood on end, and he looked at a recliner in the middle of the courtyard with a tingling scalp.

"Xiao Li, this is really weird... Ouch, wuwu!"

Wang Defa, who was behind him, was looking around and bumped into his back for no reason. His head made a thud and he screamed subconsciously, but then his mouth was covered by Li Xiangnan.

"Shh!" Li Xiangnan reminded him, pulled him down to squat, and pointed his mouth forward.

"..." Wang Defa's sobbing voice suddenly stopped. Following his gaze, he shuddered and his hair almost stood up.

At this moment, there was a bench in the middle of the courtyard, and a man in a plaid shirt was sitting on it, with his back to the two of them, motionless.

The sudden appearance of such a person in this dark courtyard made the two already frightened people's hearts rise to their throats.

They say that when something goes wrong, there must be something fishy going on. This guy is too weird...

"Brother Zhang?"

But what’s even more strange is that this person was wearing Zhang Jingyang’s iconic plaid shirt, and even his back looked very similar!

Wang Defa yelled, and before Li Xiangnan could grab him, the boy walked over.

"..."

Li Xiangnan twitched his lips and simply stood up.

Now that we have found Zhang Jingyang, it is only right that we come out to recognize him and ask him what is going on.

But at this time he was still very confused.

Zhang Jingyang is a painter. He is naturally romantic, has a poetic temperament, is enthusiastic and cheerful, and is a very optimistic person.

But this house gives people a gloomy and desolate feeling.

This is completely contrary to Zhang Jingyang's personality.

Li Xiangnan felt that there was a big problem here.

But he had only taken two steps when he bumped into Wang Defa's back and found that his back was bent and his body was trembling slightly.

Damn, what did this kid see that he’s trembling?

"You are crazy, Brother Zhang, look at the fat guy..." Li Xiangnan laughed and was about to tease him, but his arm was suddenly pulled by the fat man. He was about to scold the fat man, but found that the other party was shaking his head at him violently and giving him looks.

"What are you doing..."

Li Xiangnan was about to ask when he found that he was madly sticking his mouth in Zhang Jingyang's direction. The hand holding his arm was shaking, and he even took two steps back.

"???"

He immediately became suspicious and quickly turned his head to look...

Then he took two steps back and stood side by side with Wang Defa. Sweat beads appeared on his forehead, his heart was beating wildly, and he opened his mouth wide and gasped heavily to suppress the trembling in his heart.

This was the moment when his heart was hit the hardest in such a long time, and it was also the first time he felt panic.

Li Xiangnan opened his eyes wider than ever before, trying hard to figure out whether what he saw was real!

It turned out that Zhang Jingyang had heard the noise a long time ago. He was originally sitting on a bench, looking at the front yard, but now he had completely turned his head and was looking in the direction of the two of them.

On his blurry face, there were two big holes, which made people's hair stand on end at the first sight!

"Is that...is that, the eye socket?" Wang Defa asked, swallowing and trembling.

"Fatty, flashlight! Quick, flashlight!"

Li Xiangnan didn't want to admit that the other person had no eyes, but he was the backbone at the moment and couldn't panic. Before confirming whether the other person was Zhang Jingyang, he had to try his best to suppress the astonishment in his heart.

"Oh oh oh!" Wang Defa had a flashlight tucked into his lower back. Hearing this, he quickly pulled it out and stuffed it into Li Xiangnan's hand. Seeing that he was about to turn on the light, he finally boosted his morale, took a step forward, and silently protected Xiao Li.

pat!

Li Xiangnan turned on the flashlight without hesitation and shone it over there.

The orange-yellow beam of light all hit the other person, but he didn't react at all.

"hiss!"

But Li Xiangnan and Wang Defa took a deep breath.

'Zhang Jingyang' listened to something blankly with his ears tilted. On his pale face, where the eyeballs should have been, there were two big holes, pitch black, which made people feel creepy.

Under the night sky, in the dark courtyard, there is a lonely figure without eyeballs...

The two grown men were so scared that they broke out in sweats and felt cold on the soles of their feet.

Wang Defa was quite brave. He couldn't help but silently take a step back, his face livid and he was breathing heavily.

"who are you?"

The man spoke, his voice was hoarse and obscure, as if he had not spoken for a long, long time.

"Brother Zhang, it's me, Fatty..." Wang Defa was so shocked that his eyes became wet and he couldn't help but move forward.

Li Xiangnan stopped him and said with a frown: "Defa, it's not Brother Zhang!"

"Ah?" Wang Defa was stunned. He looked up and took a closer look. The more he looked, the more shocked he became. "It really isn't..."

After saying this, his mood suddenly seemed to improve, "Then where is our little brother Zhang?"

Li Xiangnan touched him with his arm, signaling him not to interrupt, and took two steps forward, tentatively saying, "Hello, we are Zhang Jingyang's friends. We haven't seen him for a long time, so we came here to look for him according to the address. Could you tell us where he is?"

The man, who had already touched the blind stick beside the bench, relaxed when he heard this. "Are they really Jingyang's friends? May I ask if one of us is surnamed Li and the other is surnamed Wang?"

Li Xiangnan turned his head and looked at Wang Defa, then nodded immediately. However, he immediately realized that the other party seemed to be unable to see, so he said, "Yes..."

But before he could finish his word, he heard the sound of tiles breaking on the ground.

Two thuds and screams were heard from the direction of the backyard. They were very slight, but very clear in this empty courtyard.

Li Xiangnan: “???”

Wang Defa: "..."

Eyeless man: "..."
