Encounter

Because of the busy work, his parents had almost no time to rest, so when Xia Yuming was young, his parents locked him at home alone during holidays.

Except for his parents, he has no contact with other people.But his parents are very busy at work, tired and stressed, and they don't pay much attention to him when they get home, and sometimes they even blame him when they are in a bad mood.The child is timid, afraid of the two remaining people who can talk to him, and hides when he sees it.In this way, for Xia Yuming when he was a child, the days off are equivalent to the days when he is locked in a house and no one talks.

Being locked up at home like this is okay for a day or two, but a week or two a week during the winter and summer vacations is a bit unbearable, and I even have inexplicable fear of people outside and the world.

He doesn't remember what he did at that time, but after a certain summer vacation, his mother would often ask his uncle to come over to take care of him every long vacation, so that he would not be too isolated from the outside world and lead to withdrawn and introverted personality.

They like cheerful children, only such people can get along well in society.

This uncle's name is Bian Chongming.

"Bian Chongming?" Zhu Bo repeated mockingly, "You lied to us that you don't know anything about the magic world, you are fighting among yourself in the Bian family, and you came to us in order to save your life?"

Xia Yuming explained with a wry smile, "I didn't know it until he called me just now, with that tone, only he would call me that. I was very close to him when I was young, but then we gradually became estranged when I grew up. After a few months Before, he came here, and he has been staying at my parents' house since then. My mother said hello to me before, saying that my room will be vacated for him. "

He leaned his head back against the wall. Except for Shen Mo, all the supernatural things he encountered recently were done by his uncle who had been taking care of him since he was a child.

I couldn't restrain the sadness, disappointment and shock in my heart, but after these useless emotions, my reason felt that it was nothing.

Human beings are inherently selfish. If he stands on the opposite side of his interests, then Bian Chongming has this ability. Out of utilitarian considerations, it is normal to kill him painfully.

He straightened his back, leaned forward to hold the hilt of the mahogany sword, and pressed the corners of his mouth, looking abnormally cold, "I want to know why he did this, and for what purpose, he suddenly gave me such a piece Great gift."

Zhu Bo sneered, "Okay, let's act, you guys have a lot of things to do. I'm going to your parents' house now, you better do what you said." Then he turned his head and said to the middle-aged man beside him, "Uncle, I'm leaving."

After he walked out, the woman who had been standing at the door walked in after leaving.

The woman had her head crossed, wearing sunglasses, and holding a yellow talisman in her hand. The clothes on her body were elegant and expensive.

She walked behind the middle-aged man and took off her sunglasses, revealing her entire face.It was a very imposing middle-aged woman.

"She's now..." She didn't finish speaking halfway, her expression was calm, and Xia Yuming couldn't see any expression from her face.

Zhu Bo's uncle sighed and said, "It's been fed too much resentment that doesn't belong to it, and it's no longer rational."

The middle-aged woman was silent for a moment and then smiled disdainfully, but Xia Yuming couldn't hear much sarcasm from it. He guessed that the yellow talisman in her hand could let her see the female ghost on the ground.

"After being my husband's mistress, she still wanted to seduce me. That man hates infidelity the most, and it's her own fault for what happened to her."

Stepping on high heels, she said to the female ghost nailed to the ground by a mahogany sword and a yellow talisman that she didn't know when to stick it on the ground, "Ask me, why don't people in the world call prostitutes and prostitutes? Buying and selling flesh and blood is despised, so why don't the buyers?" Wrong, the seller is wrong, who knows."

"She can't understand now..."

"I know, I just want to say." The middle-aged woman squinted at Zhu Bo's uncle and then continued to look at the ground, "People in the world can say what they want, there are so many reasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, the cycle of the four seasons, Just listen."

After she finished speaking, she took a step back and turned her head to the side, "Save her, send her into reincarnation, Daoist Master."

"it is good."

Zhu Bo's uncle pointed at the mahogany sword and said to Xia Yuming, "Boy from the Bian family, you pierced this mahogany sword, so you have to pull it out yourself."

"Oh."

Xia Yuming held the mahogany sword, his hands and feet were a little weak, and he had to pull it out twice before he succeeded.

No, just as he pulled out the sword, the female ghost in front of him suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the middle-aged woman.

The Taoist priest was startled, and hurriedly took out a talisman to stop the female ghost, but the woman on the side stopped him calmly.

Then, a scene that Xia Yuming and Daoist couldn't imagine appeared, the female ghost who looked irrational and full of resentment stopped a few meters away from the woman and covered her face with her hands.

The woman looked at the female ghost coldly, her momentum unabated, "What else do you want to say?"

"I...draw, drawer...not his..."

The female ghost stumbled and struggled to squeeze out a few words from her throat.

The woman frowned impatiently, "I see, I'll look in the drawer, hurry up, go to reincarnation, in the next life, join a rich family, don't suffer like this again."

The female ghost was silent for a while, and suddenly uttered a complete sentence, the voice was as clear and pleasant as her life, "Happy birthday."

After saying this, the female ghost suddenly went berserk, holding her head and kept backing away.The Taoist priest threw a few talismans over, and there was a bell in his hand, "Ma'am, this thing has lost its mind a long time ago, it must go."

"Send her away."

When the woman gave the order, she did not hesitate at all. She turned around and left without looking back, as if she did not want to see this scene.

After watching the whole process, Xia Yuming guessed that this was about a story about a mistress who was having an affair with his wife and was discovered by her husband, who accidentally killed the mistress by mistake.It's just that Bian Chongming used him to kill him somehow, and this wife somehow found his neighbor's soul and brought a Taoist priest to save him.

It was also a wonderful drama. The Taoist priest kept saying that the female ghost was irrational, but she still refused to hurt the woman just now, and she even wanted to say happy birthday to her even after she looked like this.

What an infatuation.

But compared to this, he was more concerned about why Bian Chongming wanted to kill him.

Another thing he didn't say to Zhu Bo was that the female ghost was not strong in combat, and he had already chased it away once, so why would he use this female ghost to kill him the second time?

Thinking about it carefully, the attack on the second morning when Shen Mo met was also very strange. His uncle could clearly instruct one of the puppets to go to the kitchen and stab him to death with a knife while he was not paying attention. Why did it take a slower time to pinch him? way to kill him?

After seeing off those uninvited "guests", Xia Yuming boiled hot water, took out a change of clothes, and took a shower.

When passing by Li Chao's position, he was careful, looked in through the gap in the curtains, and vaguely saw a sleeping figure.

Seeing that his roommate was safe and sound, Xia Yuming was relieved.

When returning to the bed, Shen Mo was awake, watching him come back and pulled him over to take off his clothes, "Sleep."

On a day without any danger, Xia Yuming didn't struggle, and let Shen Mo hug him, feeling the illusory sense of security brought by the other person's temperature.

That night, he dreamed of Bian Chongming and himself as a child, and woke up in the middle of the night with tears streaming down his face.

Wiping away her tears, she secretly turned her head to look at Shen Mo, who had her eyes closed and was soundly asleep.

Xia Yuming turned his back to Shen Mo, cleared his uncomfortable throat cautiously and softly, pulled the quilt back, and somewhat despised himself like this.

It's normal for people to fight and hurt each other, it's normal, don't overthink it, be realistic.Nothing else matters, what matters is why he hurt himself like this, and what is the reason.He was still confused about all this before, wouldn't it be great to have a clue now?

He repeated it to himself over and over again, and after a while he fell asleep amid the repeated sound. The whole night was full of messy dreams, and he slept very badly.

In the evening of the next day, Zhu Bo sent a WeChat message to yell at Te, saying that the people in the Bian family were indeed insidious and cunning.

At first Xia Yuming thought he was talking about Bian Chongming, but finally realized that he was talking about himself.He didn't understand, and asked him why.

Zhu Bo didn't answer, just said he was pretending.

Xia Yuming then called, and it took five calls before the other party picked up.

After picking it up, there was another round of scolding, and Xia Yuming finally figured out what was going on after listening to his scolding for more than half an hour.

It turned out that his opposite door was named Wu Lanlan, who was the lover of a wealthy businessman.The person who jumped off the building he met that morning was her.

But in fact, she didn't commit suicide by jumping off the building, she died long before that, she was murdered by her benefactor.

Her benefactor killed her by mistake because he discovered the relationship between her and his wife during a quarrel.After the murder, he was in a panic, and in a panic, he told Bian Chongming, the celestial master he had been with all along.

Bian Chongming came up with an idea to control her body, and stood on the top floor early in the morning to pretend to commit suicide.

After the success, Wu Lanlan's benefactor and Bian Chongming planned to use her to take revenge on another wife who betrayed him, and asked Bian Chongming to forcibly increase the resentment for Wu Lanlan, who should have gone to reincarnation without much resentment, to become a resentful ghost, manipulating her to kill him wife.

It took so much trouble because his wife's background was not simple.

In order to give an explanation to his wife's family, he planned to tell them that Wu Lanlan committed suicide because she hated him for abandoning her.After committing suicide, he became a fierce ghost. If he couldn't find his life, he went to kill his former love rival, his wife.

"Then his wife is fine now, and the truth is revealed. Why do you blame me for lying to you?"

"Heh, your Bian family is really a thief. We all know that it is Bian Chongming who helped him do these things, and we also have a corresponding management agency here to judge these warlocks and Taoists who go astray. Over there Chongming insisted that he had never done it, and he didn't do it. He gave a very convincing reason."

Xia Yuming didn't speak, but he had some eyebrows in his heart.

"It's his good nephew, you, because she passed by her when she died and got her resentment, and you were almost killed by Wu Lanlan's ghosts when you went to play a four-player game. If he Really manipulating female ghosts, she would not attack her dear nephew.

Don't say that he took you with him when he was a child and had feelings for you, and Bian Xiu and Xia Qingguo would not let him do this. "

"Nonsense!" Xia Yuming almost laughed angrily, "He is just fucking talking nonsense! My parents don't want him to do it, so they don't do it? They are ordinary people and they don't know magic! He just wants to kill I use myself as a shield."

"you……"

Before Zhu Bo finished speaking, Xia Yuming interrupted him again, his tone was much calmer than the previous sentence, "Besides, Wu Lanlan lives across from me, and it's a high-rise building, why did she have to go to the second floor when she jumped off the building? I dance at my own house, and it is still difficult to go up to the rooftop over there.

On top of that, I haven't played four corners at all. "

"You can make it up, as long as your parents are still ordinary people, they were famous golden boys and girls in the magic world back then, black and white double evil, and they can fight a lot together."

Xia Yuming was stunned, as if he had been punched hard, "What did you say?"

"You don't know, don't you, your parents know spells, and they are very good at spells, do you understand? If you are really wronged, then come and say everything you just said. Now Bian Chongming has been locked up It's gone." Zhu Bo paused on the opposite side, and then said fiercely, "You'd better stop playing tricks."

It was getting dark outside, the wind was howling and blowing through the windows, it was already meal time, the flow of people by the cafeteria of his dormitory building was gradually increasing, and the noise of playing and playing came from all directions.

Xia Yuming hung up the phone and walked out of the dormitory, flashing through his mind all the words his mother had said during this time.

"Impossible, impossible."

He looked up and saw a "person" wearing a shirt mixed in the crowd. The "person" was bleeding from his hand, but the blood dripped to the ground and disappeared.

Bian Chongming has been locked up, why can he still see it?

"Are you surprised to see that?"

Someone said behind his back.

Xia Yuming turned his head, the lights in the hall on the first floor of the dormitory were turned off at some point, the whole place was so dark that only some silhouettes could be vaguely seen, and there was a person standing in the middle of the hall in the blurry darkness.

Xia Yuming instinctively stepped back a few steps, and the figure followed his footsteps and took a few steps forward, walking into the light, revealing a pair of red eyes.

It was the man who told him to buy a mahogany sword.

"It is said that when Bianxiu, the eldest lady of the Bian family, married the son of the Xia family, Xia Qingguo, she had a yin bone in her dowry. That yin bone could make people with the most yang energy and the most unconnected with ghosts see ghosts, bring Putting it on is equivalent to having a pair of yin and yang eyes." The man stood in the hall of the empty dormitory on the first floor, gently evoking a smile, and the red in his pupils gradually spread until it covered the entire eyeball.

"Of course you can go to hell with it."

He stretched out his hand and pointed to Xia Yuming's chest, where hung the pendant that his mother gave him when he was attacked by Bian Chongming that morning.

—Hang it up, for good luck—
