In the end, no one called the phone, but the rumors told by Zhang Jialin and the man somehow began to spread in the community.

Zhang Jialin himself knew what the rumor was, and there were people in the community who did not believe it. However, superstition was something that once one person believed in it, someone else would encounter a small problem and would relate all kinds of things to it.

Zhang Jialin's current house in the city is occupied by his mother-in-law, who is in her sixties and has had difficulty in moving since she suffered a stroke a few years ago.

After the son and daughter-in-law had taken care of her for several years, they proposed at a Spring Festival gathering that the children take turns to take care of her, and they could also pay for it. What they meant was that the old lady needed someone to take care of her now, and they couldn't take care of her now, so as daughters, they should also contribute some effort.

Zhang Jialin's wife was filial, and she knew that Zhang Lan's medical skills were very good at treating stroke. Moreover, her own house in the city was still empty, so after discussing with Zhang Jialin, she suggested that she could take care of the child more, and the other children could just pay the money.

Zhang Jialin's daughter-in-law also had her own plans. Although the old lady was over 60 years old, she would definitely be able to take care of herself after Zhang Lan's treatment and she wouldn't have to worry too much.

Then there is their son Zhang Haoran. The couple left their child behind and went out to work. While the couple is taking care of their grandson, they also have a child to take care of.

With Zhang Lan around, the old lady would not have to lie in bed and be served by others. Her family would just provide a place to stay, and the old lady would help take care of her grandson at home for a few years. During this time, she and Zhang Jialin would go out to work and earn back all the money.

Add to that the child support given by other brothers and sisters, and it is definitely not a loss.

After talking to Zhang Jialin, Zhang Jialin thought that was the case and immediately took his mother-in-law to have a look at by Zhang Lan. His brother asked him to treat his mother-in-law. Zhang Lan didn't say anything at the time and was very decisive. After more than a month, the old lady was able to take care of herself and could speak normally.

This year, Zhang Jialin's grandson went to kindergarten, and Zhang Jialin enrolled him in a kindergarten in the city. After that, the old lady and Zhang Jialin's wife moved to the house in the city.

Then today, Zhang Jialin's daughter-in-law suddenly called Zhang Jialin and said that the old lady was possessed by evil spirits, and asked Zhang Jialin to quickly ask Zhang Lan to come down and take a look.

At first Zhang Jialin thought his wife was talking nonsense to him. He had already told his wife whether the rumor in the community was true or not. She was afraid that the old lady was possessed by evil spirits and it might be some kind of disease. She didn't dare to go in and call the emergency number, so why was she waiting for him to come over?

Seeing that he didn't believe her, Zhang Jialin's wife opened the WeChat video. After the two of them had a video chat, Zhang Jialin was shocked and quickly rode his electric bike to Zhang Lan. On the way, he called Zhang Hu and asked him to drive over quickly.

After Zhang Jialin explained the cause and effect of the incident, Zhang Hu, who was driving, couldn't help but ask Zhang Lan, "Zhang Lan, what do you think of what the boss said?"

"I haven't seen the person yet, so how can I see? Let's talk about it when we get there. It doesn't matter whether he is possessed by evil spirits or something else." Zhang Lan said casually.

Zhang Hu drove all the way and arrived at the residential area downstairs from Zhang Jialin.

Zhang Jialin's house was on the sixth floor, and when they got there, the elevator just went up. The three of them were too lazy to wait for the elevator, so they ran up the stairs. When they got to the door, it was open, and as soon as they entered, they saw an old lady lying straight on the sofa in the living room.

When they approached, they found that the old lady was looking up at the sky with her hands pressed against her legs, doing a movement similar to a carp stand. Zhang Jialin's daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law were trying to hold her down. Both of them were sweating profusely and didn't even have time to wipe it off.

Seeing this, Zhang Jialin and Zhang Hu stepped forward to replace the two men, and at the same time shouted to Zhang Lan, "What's going on, Zhang Lan?"

"Don't worry, let me take a look at what happened first." Zhang Lan used his Merit Spirit Eyes to take a look and found that the old lady was fine, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Why don't you find a way to calm the old lady down first? It takes two people to hold her down. I'm afraid she'll get hurt." Zhang Jialin continued.

Zhang Lan ignored him, because she was just trying to figure out what the problem was. It was easy to calm the old lady down, but the problem was that it couldn't cure the root cause.

After finding that it had little to do with the disease, Zhang Lan suspected that there was something wrong with the house. But this neighborhood is full of small high-rise buildings, so it shouldn't be possible to have anything outrageous.

Also, even if she was affected, she shouldn't have reacted so violently. There was only one possibility, that the thing that affected the old lady was in Zhang Jialin's home.

After walking around the living room and bedroom, Zhang Lan didn't find anything suspicious. After thinking for a while, Zhang Lan set his sights on a small fish tank on the balcony.

When I got closer, I saw a red-eared slider in the fish tank, which was crawling around everywhere.

Zhang Lan looked around, picked up a screwdriver, reached out to take the red-eared slider out of the fish tank, held the screwdriver upside down, and knocked on the red-eared slider's head a few times.

As soon as Zhang Lan started to make a move, the old lady on the sofa on the other side immediately calmed down. Zhang Lan knocked a few more times with the screwdriver and said, "Be quiet and stop making trouble. If you make trouble again, I will stew you."

Then he threw the red-eared slider back into the fish tank. Then, holding the fish tank in both hands, he walked into the living room and placed the fish tank on the coffee table.

Zhang Jialin also understood what Zhang Lan was doing and asked, "Is this turtle the one causing trouble?"

Zhang Lan nodded and said, "About the same, but the main reason is that the old lady has been in poor health recently. Was she hospitalized recently?"

Zhang Jialin's wife nodded and said, "My mother said she felt uncomfortable on her head a while ago. After the examination, she stayed in the hospital for a few days and caught a cold."

"Is it because of this?" Zhang Hu asked from the side.

"It's almost like that. There are various reasons. One is that the old lady is a little weak, and the other is that there is something wrong with your house." Zhang Lan explained casually.

"What about this turtle?"

"What do you think about this turtle? The fish tank on the balcony was put there a few days ago, right?"

Seeing Zhang Jialin's wife nod, Zhang Lan continued, "In fact, we should thank this little turtle. If it hadn't made trouble today, the old lady or the child would have been in big trouble in a while."

Zhang Lan stood up and drew open the curtains on the balcony. After looking outside, he frowned. Logically, this time in the afternoon should be the time when the sun shines the best. However, on the sixth floor, there was no sunlight at all in Zhang Jialin's house as it was completely blocked by the floors next to it.

The distance between the houses in this community is too small, and Zhang Jialin's building is completely blocked by another building on the south.

That would have been fine, but the building in front is taller, about ten stories higher than the one where Zhang Jialin lives.

So in Zhangjialin on the sixth floor, it was only three or four in the afternoon, and there was no sunlight at all. In other words, it might be difficult to see any sunlight all day.
