The manager smiled bitterly, "Pharaoh, you burn incense to worship Zhong Kui all day long, and you do some feudal superstitions. What you say is also a godsend, can you put away all your old ideas?"

Old man Wang said solemnly, "Manager, this is not an old concept. I tell you something now, and you will understand that what I said is true."

The manager shuddered when he looked at the old man Wang.

The old man Wang pulled the manager and pointed to the portrait on the wall and said, "Manager, do you have any problems with this portrait?"

Looking at the empty portrait, the manager couldn't help frowning and said, "It's a pretty good landscape painting, with shady trees, cool rivers, cozy farmhouses, and a picture of people with small bridges and flowing water."

Old man Wang couldn't laugh or cry, "Manager, I'm also drunk with your eyesight. There was another person in this painting before."

"Huh? Who is it?"

"Zhong Kui."

"Oh, I remember, you have a portrait of Zhong Kui hanging in the duty room."

"Yes, this is the one. But now, Zhong Kui on the painting is gone."

"Oh, Lao Wang, don't tell me anymore, my back is cold. Then where did Zhong Kui in this portrait go?"

"Zhong Kui is gone, so naturally he went to catch demons and kill demons. Our community now has demons. In my opinion, that strange person is a monster. Do you think normal people are ugly?"

"Pharaoh, didn't you say that the weird person is missing? Why do you always mention that weird person?"

"It's not that I always mention him, manager, don't you think that the disappearance of that weird person is too abrupt? I will help Mrs. Chen push the stroller, and when I look back, nobody will be seen. Isn't this too weird?"

"Okay, stop talking about that weird guy. I feel cold all over."

Lao Wang looked at the empty portrait and laughed, "Anyway, my Zhong Kui is a confession, Manager, don't worry, Zhong Kui will protect us and keep our community safe and sound."

The manager smiled bitterly, "Pharaoh, you are confused, and you don't look at the current situation of our community. It is flooded and the pine trees were cut down. Is this still safe?"

Old Wang said, "Manager, if these weird things don't happen, what bigger things can we do to keep our community out of order."

Seeing Pharaoh's mysterious appearance, and thinking about the weird incident just now, the manager felt even more creepy.

"Pharaoh, all right, your superstitious mind, I can't tell you."

"So, now that our community has flooded and the pine trees have been cut down, it may have avoided other disasters. It is not necessarily a bad thing. In a sense, it should have let our community escape. "

"This is what age, it's still the old society, I really convince you."

"Manager, it's not for you to persuade me, then tell me, where is Zhong Kui in the portrait? How did Zhong Kui disappear for no reason?"

"Pharaoh, don't ask me about this. I don't know anything about these superstitions."

The manager and old man Wang were chatting, when the doorbell rang from the gate.

Old man Wang looked up and saw Mrs. Chen carrying a big bag of vegetables and pushing the child station outside the door.

"Oh, it's Mrs. Chen who came back from shopping, and I'll open the door for her."

Old man Wang ran out to open the door, and the manager followed.

Mrs. Chen said in embarrassment, "Uncle Wang, I'm sorry to trouble you again."

Old man Wang smiled and said, "What is the trouble? This is my job."

Old Man Wang opened the door, helped Mrs. Chen push the stroller, and touched the child's fleshy face, "This child is getting more and more obedient."

Mrs. Chen walked in with a big bag of vegetables on her back.

"What should I do if he is disobedient? I can't take care of him too much. The child is like this. I can't get used to it. Now he knows that I can't hold him like other mothers all the time, so he won't follow me. It’s a mess. In fact, it’s good for the child. He is now much more sensible than children of the same age."

The manager said, "Mrs. Chen, you should hire a nanny, otherwise you will be busy with it, and you will be able to eat it. You are only three months pregnant and you are barely able to take care of your children. Two months later, it won’t work. It’s hard to bear every time you look at you with your baby on your stomach."

Mrs. Chen sighed, "I would like to hire a nanny, but the conditions at home do not allow it. I will bear it and wait for the baby to be six months old, and then hire a nanny."

"Can you wait until six months? How about your mother-in-law? It really can't. Take her mother-in-law to take care of your grandson."

"My mother-in-law is not in good health. She has been in bed all year round and asked her to take care of the children. To be honest, she can't even take care of herself now, so let's forget it. Okay, thank you, I should go home."

Mrs. Chen was pushing the baby carriage, just walking two steps, seeing the sight in front of her, she suddenly exclaimed, "Mom, what happened in our community? Is it flooding?"

The manager hurriedly concealed, "It's okay, the water pipe suddenly leaked. It's being repaired."

Old man Wang suddenly took a few steps to catch up with Mrs. Chen.

"By the way, Mrs. Chen, did you see that weird person this morning?"

"Uncle Wang, who are you talking about?"

"It's just a weird guy in a purple robe with disheveled hair. Oh, yes, he looks very ugly."

Mrs. Chen frowned, "I didn't see the person you were talking about."

"Just when you were out shopping for groceries this morning, I opened the door for you and he was standing outside the gate."

"No, I didn't see him. As soon as I go out now, my whole mind is on my child, and I don't look at anything else."

Mrs. Chen said, pushing the stroller forward on her own.

Old man Wang said, "Mrs. Chen, you are inconvenient to move, I will take you home. Today, the community was running water and the ground was slippery. Your body is inconvenient. If you slip, you won’t be able to."

"Thank you so much."

"You're welcome."

The manager said, "Pharaoh, you go. I will help you stare at the duty room and come back quickly when you go."

"I know, I'll be back soon."

Old Man Wang took the big bag that Mrs. Chen was carrying, and carried it in his hand, "Ah, you really bought a lot."

"I am pregnant now and want to replenish my body. My husband is not in good health recently. In order to save money for medical treatment, our family has to adopt diet therapy."

Seeing Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Chen moving away, the manager sighed and returned to the duty room. When he looked up, he saw the empty portrait on the wall and frowned, "What's all this? The portrait of Zhong Kui is running away. It's gone."

The bored manager looked down and saw the image of Master Azan in the surveillance video and smiled bitterly, "What's the matter with this ugly monster? It's not really like Lao Wang said, everything has to do with him, right?"
