ghost

Stay at the hotel where Geng Shudan and the others stayed for one night, then rush back to Geng's house in City A the next day, pack up their luggage and hurry back to the school - this is Fang Xia's plan.Presumably, though, plans are made to be broken.

Early the next morning, Fang Xia was about to check out, but just as he walked out of his room, he saw Geng Shudan coming out of the next room talking on the phone.Fang Xia didn't mean to eavesdrop, but in the quiet corridor of the hotel, the two of them were so close, they heard something whether they wanted it or not.

It was Gu Wenkai who was on the phone with Geng Shudan, and they were talking about the case of Xiao Ligui.

Speaking of which, the case has not yet been resolved.After going to the villa on Suyang North Road yesterday, I had a guess about the identity of the little ghost attached to the mink fur coat, but there was no basis for conclusive conclusion.

The Li family who found Xiao Ligui commissioned it. At first, Geng Shudan arranged a practical class for him, and he also planned to follow along with the intention of watching it from the sidelines.Afterwards, the entrustment situation exceeded expectations, and a murder case was involved.Whether Fang Xia voluntarily or forcedly participated in the investigation of the case, he was about to leave before the results came out, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Fang Xia was carrying a shoulder bag, watching Geng Shudan finish the phone call and walking towards Fang Xia.

"Going to the station? I'll see you off." Geng Shudan patted Fang Xia on the shoulder, and walked two steps towards the elevator in front, but found that Fang Xia didn't follow, turned around and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"It was Gu Wenkai's call just now?" Fang Xia asked.

"It's him. He gave me a brief introduction to the investigation of the owner of the villa."

"Then the identity of the little ghost has been confirmed?"

"Confirmed." Geng Shudan nodded, and said with a slightly serious face, "Actually, Gu Wenkai sent me the horoscope of the villa owner's child last night, and the result was as we guessed—that little ghost died there. A baby in a nursery."

Fang Xia pulled out the hand in his pocket, flipped the room card between his fingers deftly in his hand twice, and then he pinched the corner and swipe the door lock casually before closing the room. The door was reopened.

Seeing Fang Xia turn around and walk into the room, Geng Shudan was taken aback, followed to the door of the room, and asked, "What's the matter? You're not going to the station?"

"I've decided to stay for another two days." Fang Xia threw the shoulder bag on the TV cabinet casually, then turned around and walked out, "I'll leave when the case of that little ghost comes out."

Geng Shudan smiled, "Curious about the result?"

"I call it a beginning and an end. Since I participated in it from the beginning, how can I run away before the result comes out? Right? Fu Jin." Fang Xia closed the door, turned her head and raised her chin at Fu Jin.

Fu Jin glanced at Fang Xia, and pointedly said: [You can't let go of that brat. ]

"Probably a little..." Fang Xia put his hands in his pockets and followed Geng Shudan to the elevator.

When I see this kind of thing on the news, at most I can sympathize with the poor child, scold the murderer for having no conscience, or cynically criticize the darkness of the society, and people's hearts are not old.After returning to my own life, that emotion faded away, and at most I cared about the follow-up results.However, once you participate in it yourself, it will always be hard to let go if you don't see the result with your own eyes in the end-people are always more emotional about what they have experienced.

"What did Mr. Fu Jin say?" Geng Shudan asked curiously from the side.

"Fu Jin praised me!" Fang Xia replied without thinking.

"Just rely on me not being able to hear the nonsense." Geng Shudan cursed with a smile.

Fang Xia went to the front desk of the hotel to renew the room, and then followed Geng Shudan to find a nearby restaurant for breakfast.

Wang Ke was not with them, he left the house one step ahead of them, saying that he had something to do, Fang Xia guessed that he probably went to see Geng Wenqiu.Wang Ke was originally an assistant arranged by Geng Wenqiu, but now he is leaving the Geng family and is no longer the heir of the Geng family. Is that assistant Wang unemployed in disguise?Is this because he was implicated?Although it's not his fault.I hope Geng Wenqiu can transfer him to a stable position, and wish Assistant Wang a smooth career in the future.

There were not many people in the restaurant, so Fang Xia and Geng Shudan randomly found a table and sat down.Taking advantage of breakfast, Geng Shudan told Fang Xia what Gu Wenkai told him, and what the police had investigated so far.

The owner of the villa on Suyang North Road is Guo Qihua, 35 years old, the boss of a building materials company, married two years ago.At the end of the year before last, his wife became pregnant, and around the same time, Guo Qihua raised Hu Jia outside.The house in the community where Hu Jia lived was bought by Guo Qihua. He often stayed there and didn't take care of his wife who was raising children.His wife lives in a villa on North Suyang Road, and is taken care of by a nanny.

"At the end of last year, Guo Qihua's wife was close to her due date, but her condition was not very good. Maybe it was because her human nature hadn't been completely wiped out, or maybe she still cared about his own flesh and blood, so he broke up with Hu Jia for a while and stayed at home with her. His wife."

Fang Xia bit the straw of the bottled soy milk and nodded.This point is consistent with what the wandering souls Geng Shudan recruited said before, Guo Qihua did not look for Hu Jia for two months before last year.

"At the end of the year, Guo Qihua's wife had dystocia and the child was born, but the adult died on the operating table." Geng Shudan paused slightly, "Actually, Guo Qihua's wife is not in bad health. The nanny who took care of Guo Qihua’s wife asked about it, and she said that the lady was in good condition at the beginning of her pregnancy, but she became weaker and weaker in the later stage, and died of dystocia during childbirth. The hospital’s prenatal examination report also confirmed this.”

"Is it because the scum surnamed Guo is messing around outside, so he is in a bad mood and affects his body?" Fang Xia asked.

Geng Shudan shook his head: "I'm afraid not."

[Things that attract evil. ] Fu Jin, who was sitting next to Fang Xia, reminded her.

Fang Xia glanced at Fu Jin before confirming with Geng Shudan: "Is it because of something that attracts evil?"

"That's right." Geng Shudan nodded, "There are so many evil things in the villa, which attracted those wandering ghosts and gathered Yin Qi. Yin Qi has no effect on living people in the short term. But staying in a place where yin qi gathers for a long time is harmful to people's health. If it is a man with a strong body, he may be able to bear it. But Guo Qihua's wife is pregnant, and the body itself is burdened by pregnancy. , and live in a place where Yin Qi gathers for a long time, it will naturally become weaker and weaker."

"How did those evil spirits come from?" Fang Xia frowned.

"Hu Jia gave it to Guo Qihua." Geng Shudan said, "Gu Wenkai sent those items for identification, and Hu Jia's fingerprints were left on them. Afterwards, Guo Qihua also admitted that those items were indeed given to him by Hu Jia."

Therefore, the death of Guo Qihua's wife was also caused by Hu Jia.

"However, Hu Jia's fingerprints on those evil-inducing objects cannot be used as evidence that Hu Jia killed Guo Qihua's wife." Geng Shudan sighed.The way the police decides a case is not the same as that of the mystical arts circle.

"After Guo Qihua's wife died of dystocia, Guo Qihua felt that the nanny didn't take good care of her, so he fired her." Geng Shudan continued, "However, there is an extra child in the family, and Guo Qihua's parents still need someone to take care of her. I was abroad, so I went back and found a nanny again. Then, two months later, the child died. Someone died in the family, and Guo Qihua thought it was unlucky, so he put the villa through a broker and resold it."

"Wait, the child was smothered to death, right? Guo Qihua didn't call the police for such an abnormal death?" Fang Xia felt incredible.

Geng Shudan shook his head: "No, if we have reported to the police, Gu Wenkai will definitely have an impression when we went to the villa yesterday. Guo Qihua admitted in the bureau yesterday that the child was indeed suffocated to death, but it was because the nanny didn't take good care of him. The child was accidentally smothered to death by the quilt, so he did not choose to call the police."

Fang Xia asked, "He doesn't hold the nanny accountable?"

Geng Shudan said: "He said he thought the nanny was old and pitiful, so forget it."

Fang Xia sneered: "He is really kind!" Forget it?His own child died, but he could forget it?It was an eye-opener.

"Little Ligui was Guo Qihua's child before his death. According to our previous inference, the murderer should be Hu Jia." Fang Xia calmed down, sorted out the information and spoke again, "But now it seems that the nanny may also be the murderer. Or Hu Jia and the nanny It was an accomplice, Hu Jia bribed the nanny to kill someone."

"Based on the fact that this is a homicide case, the police guessed so. The police investigated the villa yesterday, but it took too long. After the child died, the villa was cleaned up, and there was no evidence at all. Hu Jiana I can't ask anything." Geng Shudan said, "The next step is to see if there is anything useful to ask from the nanny, the police have already sent someone to find the nanny."

There is currently no physical evidence in this case, and witnesses are still in doubt.In this case, we have to wait until the results come out. Fang Xia originally thought that he would stay in S City for a short time.

However, unexpectedly, after only two days, the nanny testified that Hu Jia had smothered the child to death.

It was one night, around dinner time, Guo Qihua didn't come back, and there were only the nanny and the child in the villa.The nanny went downstairs to eat while the child was asleep, but she didn't want Hu Jia to come over.The nanny knew that Hu Jia was the mistress of the employer, Guo Qihua, and often came to the villa, so she ignored her.The nanny was cooking for herself in the kitchen, and by the way, she called her wife. On the way, she stopped by the stairs to take a look. There she could see the door of the baby room. She was afraid that the child would wake up and cry. No, I deliberately opened the door.As a result, after looking at it, I found that the door of the baby room was closed at some time, so I felt uneasy, so I hurried upstairs to check the situation.

After she pushed open the door, she saw that the mink coat that Hu Jia had taken off was covering the crib, and her hands were pressed on the mink coat.The nanny rushed to push Hu Jia away. The baby in the crib was already lifeless. She picked up the baby and wanted to send it to the hospital, but Hu Jia stopped her.Hu Jia threatened her that if he spoke out, he would blame her for the crime, but if he could keep his mouth shut, she would give her a sum of money.The nanny was in a panic at the time, so she agreed in a daze.

Later, when Guo Qihua learned that the child had died, he wanted to call the police, but was stopped by Hu Jia. She helped prove that the child was smothered to death by herself. money.Guo Qihua thought about it too, and the child killed his biological mother as soon as he was born. He always felt that it was unlucky, so he drove away the nanny and let it go.

As for the nanny's accusation, Hu Jia of course refused to admit it, claiming that the nanny slandered her.The money she transferred to the nanny only said that she gave it because of the nanny's pity, and did not admit that it was a hush money.

The case is deadlocked.

The police could only question the nanny repeatedly about the situation at the scene, trying to find usable evidence.As a result, decisive evidence was found.

"The nanny was on the phone with her wife when Hu Jia found out that Hu Jia had smothered the child to death." Gu Wenkai's colleagues went upstairs to arrest Hu Jia in the downstairs area where Hu Jia lived. , while talking about the process of closing the case to Fang Xia and Geng Shudan beside her, "When she ran into Hu Jia smothering the child, she was so scared that she dropped her phone on the ground, but the call continued. Everything Hu Jia said at that time was recorded. Go to the operator Check the call records, and you will get the hard evidence that Hu Jia killed the child. This time it is also very pending. Fortunately, the case was three months ago. If there is another two months' delay, the call records may not be found. .”

"The nanny didn't call the police before, that is to say, she didn't plan to say anything, why did she confess all of a sudden?" Fang Xia asked Gu Wenkai a little strangely.

Gu Wenkai rubbed his nose, "Cough! That nanny is superstitious, so I tried to scare her."

Fang Xia: "I suddenly feel that for ordinary people, a little superstition is not bad."

Geng Shudan: "There is always something to be afraid of, otherwise it is easy to go out of line."

Probably because the topic was slightly melancholy, none of the three spoke for a while.

It is a cloudy day in S city today, and the wind is blowing a little bit on the body.The three stood beside the police car, blowing the cold wind for a while before Gu Wenkai broke the silence again.

Gu Wenkai took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the two people beside him: "Do you smoke?"

Geng Shudan shook his head: "I don't smoke."

Fang Xia reached out for one, put it in his mouth, then raised his chin in the direction of the corridor, and reminded: "Your colleague has come down."

On the other side of the corridor, Hu Jia was in handcuffs, his face was ashen, and he was escorted by two policemen. He walked towards the police car under the pointing of the crowd.

"I'm leaving, and I'll leave the rest to you, Mr. Geng." Gu Wenkai glanced at the bag in Geng Shudan's hand, which contained the mink coat possessed by the little ghost, "I'll look for it later." You take this mink fur coat, after all, it is considered a murder weapon."

Gu Wenkai threw the lighter to Fang Xia, walked quickly to the back of the police car, opened the door, and let his two colleagues push Hu Jia into the car.

Three police cars drove out of the community one after another, and the onlookers dispersed. Geng Shudan looked at the direction the police cars were leaving, and said softly to the little ghost in the bag: "Did you see that? The murderer you hate has been brought to justice. It's time to let go."

Standing beside Geng Shudan, Fang Xia heard crying from the bag.

It was a wailing at first, and then it slowly started to look like a normal baby cry.Fang Xia lit a cigarette with the lighter Gu Wenkai gave him, and smoked slowly.When he finished smoking that cigarette, the baby's crying stopped.

"Stop crying." After Fang Xia finished speaking, he asked Geng Shudan, "What should I do next?"

"When the evil spirit on him dissipates, I'll let him attach it to the amulet, and then find someone to save him." Geng Shudan walked out with the bag.

Fang Xia followed, and said to the bag, "Reincarnate in the next life, remember to keep your eyes open."

Two days later, the little ghost's soul was successfully transferred to the amulet, and Gu Wenkai also came to pick up the mink coat.By the way, he told Geng Shudan that his elder brother had helped clean up the remaining evil-inducing objects in Guo Qihua's villa.However, the origin of those evil-attracting objects is still unclear. Hu Jia only said that he bought them from a Fengshui master, but the current whereabouts of the Fengshui master is unknown.They will find a way to investigate further, and hope that Geng Shudan will also help to pay attention.

Geng Shudan did not refuse.This kind of people who sell evil things to make money often appear in the mystic arts circle. Generally, they don't cause major problems, and they don't provoke themselves, so everyone doesn't care too much.But this time it was unlucky to bump into two of the four major families at once, so don't blame them for picking up the shovel to dig out the roots.

After handing over the mink coat to Gu Wenkai, Geng Shudan originally planned to take the amulet possessed by the imp to find someone to save the imp.However, they happened to meet Ma Guangping, the master and apprentice, who came to Fang Xia to apologize.Ma Guangping knew an eminent monk from Yunlai Temple, and offered to take him there along the way.Geng Shudan knew that Ma Guangping was Fang Xia's master, so he had nothing to worry about, so he agreed to his proposal.

Fang Xia is not a narrow-minded person, his anger has almost dissipated, Ma Guangping and the others apologized to him again, and this page was turned.

In the afternoon, the four masters and apprentices parted ways in S City.

Fang Xia, Geng Shudan, and Wang Ke went back to Geng's house in City A, and Ma Guangping took Fang Xia's two senior brothers to City G to practice.It is said that this time it is the largest Taoist temple in G City, and the income is expected to be considerable.

When Fang Xia, Geng Shudan and the others returned to Geng's old house, it was already night, so they could only stay overnight.Waking up early the next morning, Fang Xia hurriedly packed her luggage and decided to leave Geng's house without stopping.

Putting the suitcases and backpacks in a pile at the door, Fang Xia clapped her hands with satisfaction, finally leaving Geng's house.He was in a good mood and couldn't help humming a few words, but when he turned around, he saw Fu Jin looking at him.

Fu Jin stood at the familiar place by the window of the room. When Fang Xia saw him for the first time, he was also standing there looking at him.

When meeting Fu Jin for the first time, Fang Xia was so amazed that she asked him if he was the Jade Jue Jing.However, Fu Jin was indeed good-looking, not just his face.Now that he was standing by the window, the outside sunlight slanted in and hit him, making his slightly transparent body seem to be glowing faintly during the day, making it hard to miss.It looked like a fallen celestial being, who would ride the wind and return at any moment.

[What's wrong? ] Fu Jin saw that Fang Xia had been staring at her and said nothing, so she took the initiative to ask.

"Cough! It's okay." Fang Xia woke up from the trance, and his eyes wandered for a moment because of guilt. He actually stared at a man of the same sex and lost his mind. It probably wouldn't be a pleasant thing for the other party to know, so he hurriedly asked a question Cover up, "Then what, you really want to go with me?"

As soon as Fang Xia spoke, suddenly he had never seriously asked Fu Jin for his opinion before.He wanted to leave the Geng family because he didn't like the Geng family subjectively, but Fu Jin was different.Fu Jin stayed in the Geng family for so long, maybe he has feelings for the Geng family and doesn't want to leave.Thinking of this, Fang Xia got serious, rearranged his words and asked, "Fu Jin, seriously, if you don't need me as a guardian, would you still want to leave Geng's house with me?"

[think. ] Fu Jin looked at Fang Xia almost intently, his eyes darkened slightly.

"why?"

[Didn't you say that they use me as a tool to fight for power? ] Fu Jin asked back.

"Well, I said that..."

[I don't like being used as a tool. ] Fu Jin raised her eyes, and looked at Fang Xia faintly, [Or...you don't want me to follow you? ]

"No, no, nothing!" Fang Xia shook her head and quickly denied, "I'll just confirm with you, do you really want to leave? Well, now I understand, from now on you will be from our old Fang's family Yes. Come on, let's get out of this nasty place at once."

As Fang Xia said, he put on his backpack, dragged the suitcase, opened the door and went out.

Looking at Fang Xia's back, Fu Jin twitched the corners of his mouth almost invisible, revealing a faint smile, and then followed.

He doesn't really care whether he takes advantage of it or not.He wanted to follow Fang Xia because of the toffee he handed over 20 years ago, and the mint candy that was handed to him 20 years later.Well, he was abducted by Fang Xia with two candies.

Fang Xia walked to the vestibule of Geng's house, and saw Geng Wenqiu and Geng Shudan standing there.

"Goodbye, bye, don't send it off, there will be no date later." Fang Xia waved at the two of them, and was about to stroll out the door.

"What are you in a hurry for?" Geng Shudan stepped forward and grabbed him.

"I'm catching the bus!"

"You don't need to catch the bus. Wang Ke is waiting outside. He will take you to the station." Geng Shudan said, stuffing a small cardboard box into his arms.

"What is this?" Fang Xia's arm fell down under the weight of the cardboard box. He hurriedly let go of the suitcase, supported it with both hands, and then stood up straight, staring at the tightly sealed little boy in his arms. Carton, looked up at Geng Shudan.

"Books related to metaphysics. You read these books first, and I'll go over and teach you when I'm free in a while." Geng Shudan pushed his glasses, and added, "Maybe random exams, you'd better not be lazy. "

"I'm not a primary school student, and I still play random exams?" Fang Xia's mouth twitched.

"Well, I hope you show the self-consciousness of a college student." Geng Shudan patted Fang Xia on the back and said with a smile.

"gone."

Seeing Fang Xia dragging the suitcase in one hand, holding the cardboard box of books in the other, striding out of the gate, Geng Shudan asked Geng Wenqiu, "Is it really okay to let Fang Xia go like this?"

"He has no choice when stepping into the Xuanshu circle, at least give him the right to choose whether to stay in the Geng family." Geng Wenqiu said slowly.

"What about Chongzhi and the others? They will never agree to Fu Jin leaving Geng's house."

"Help them for now, we'll talk about it later." After Geng Wenqiu finished speaking, he turned and walked into the house.

……

Fang Xia's school is in City C, but he didn't go back to school directly, but first went back to City Q where his master's Taoist temple is located, which is also the land where he grew up.Temporarily diverted to Q city, not for other reasons, but because Qingming is coming soon, he has to visit his mother's grave.

Ma Guangping's Taoist temple is called Queshan Temple. On Queshan Mountain in Q City, it is a small mountain with an altitude of no more than 100 meters. It can be said that it is a small mountain.Normally, going up is not difficult at all, but Fang Xia dragged the suitcase, so it took a lot of effort to go up.Fang Xia was too lazy to climb, and besides, the master and senior brothers had all gone out, and there was no one in the Taoist temple, so it was meaningless for him to go back.Moreover, he simply came to visit his mother's grave, and left after sweeping the grave, and did not plan to spend the night in Q City.

Fang Xia found a hotel in the town and opened a room to store her luggage.Then I went to the old street to buy some joss stick paper money and offerings, and then called an electric tricycle on the side of the road, and headed towards his mother's cemetery.

City Q is a small city that does not qualify for the [-]th line. If you don’t go to the city center, taxis are rarely available, let alone online car-hailing.There are buses, but they don't go to the cemetery in the mountains.This kind of family has electric three-wheelers, and it usually carries goods and people. Although the ride is a bit bumpy, it still provides a little convenience.After all, the cemetery is still some distance away from the town, and it may take an hour to walk.

The cemetery of Fang Xia’s mother is on the mountain. There is no cemetery here, and the economic level of the residents does not allow them to buy a cemetery. Everyone buys a piece of land on the mountain and spends some money to ask craftsmen to build a tomb and erect a tombstone. This is the cemetery.If you are more particular, you will circle an open space in front of the cemetery, pave it with marble, and build an altar.However, there are very few such families, and they are basically families whose children in the town are doing business outside and have a little money at home.

Ma Guangping helped build Fang Xia's mother's cemetery.After Ma Guangping adopted Fang Xia, he raised money to help him build a cemetery, and then went to the funeral home in G City to move back his current ashes, so that he could have a thought here.

Ma Guangping’s normal income is already in jeopardy to maintain Queshan Temple. Even though he has worked hard to raise money, Fang Xia’s mother’s cemetery cannot be paved with marble and built altars. There are only tombs and tombstones made of ordinary stones. A vacant space was laid out and reserved for offering sacrifices to the tomb.Although this kind of cemetery is not considered luxurious, compared with other cemeteries on the mountain, it is not too simple. What is really simple is only a grave bag and a tombstone for identification, because it is not cheap to buy a cemetery on the mountain.

Holding the cardboard box containing incense candle offerings, Fang Xia walked up the muddy path trampled on.While walking, he talked to Fu Jin who was behind him, "Now that I think about it, the Geng family probably paid for my mother's cemetery. Otherwise, with my master's little money, I probably wouldn't be able to buy the land for the cemetery." , he is really poor."

In the past, Fang Xia wouldn't think so, but not long ago, he overheard the conversation between Geng Wenqiu and his master in the ward.The attitude in Geng Wenqiu's words did not seem to be completely indifferent to his mother.Thinking about it, it's actually quite obvious, otherwise why would he be transferred to Ma Guangping's side as soon as his mother passed away?Obviously Geng Wenqiu had already made arrangements, otherwise how could it be so fast.

[Geng Wenqiu did intervene in the arrangements for your mother's funeral. ] Fu Jin gave Fang Xia a definite answer, [It's just that she didn't want you to step into the mystical circle at the time, and she had to let the Geng family make a clear relationship with you, so that they wouldn't be approached by people with ulterior motives.Therefore, your mother's funeral cannot be made too public.On the surface, she basically entrusted Ma Guangping to deal with it, but she paid money secretly. ]

"Oh, it sounds like the old lady Geng isn't too bad." Fang Xia climbed up the steep slope with the vines, and took a trail from there.

It has been so many years, Fang Xia has already seen it away, so in the ward that day, he didn't ask Geng Wenqiu what he said to his mother back then.Even if these old accounts of old sesame seeds and rotten millet are cleared up now, they are meaningless.Now Fang Xia would talk about his mother to Fu Jin, in fact, he would bring friends to his house to play, and couldn't help introducing his family to him, but Fang Xia didn't remember much about his mother, saying Most of them are still related to his master.

He took Fu Jin to visit his mother's grave, so there seemed to be something wrong with the mood of bringing friends to his home to play?However, it should be considered reasonable for him to take Fu Jin to meet his mother and introduce his mother casually.

Before Fang Xia had time to think too much, his mother's cemetery arrived.

Ma Guangping is a Taoist priest who is very good at Fengshui, so the location of Fang Xia's mother's grave is very good.Surrounded by mountains on all sides, and with an open hall, the cemetery is sunny and rainy, so the green weeds grow gratifyingly on the open space in front of the grave paved with stones. They stubbornly emerge from the soil under the stones and grow lush. , vibrant.

Fang Xia looked at the piece of weeds occupying the open space in front of his mother's grave in dismay, and made a painful decision, "I will definitely pour cement on the land in front of my mother's grave next year. How will you grow then?"

After making the oath for the coming year, Fang Xia put the cardboard box in his arms aside, rolled up his sleeves, squatted down and started weeding.It took almost half an hour to finally tidy up the open space occupied by weeds, and the words "Tomb of Fang Rongyuan" on the tombstone were completely exposed.

Sitting on the ground and resting for a while, Fang Xia got up, offered sacrifices to his mother, burnt incense and lit wax, finally burned a handful of paper money, squatted in front of the tomb, and began to chat with his mother without saying a word.

"I was lied to by my master this year and went to Geng's house. But I exposed his lies wittily, left the Geng's house smoothly, and regained my freedom." Fang Xia said, looking back at Fu Jin who was standing behind her. "By the way, let me introduce you. This is Fu Jin, my new friend. Uh, although he is a ghost, he doesn't hurt anyone and treats me well. Don't worry."

Fu Jin looked at the three "Fang Rongyuan" on the tombstone, and then said slowly: [Long time no see. ]

"Huh?" Fang Xia turned her head in surprise, "Do you know my mother?"

[I've seen it before. ] Fu Jindao, [At that time Geng Zhongxuan was my guardian. ]

Geng Chongxuan is Fang Xia's biological father, since Geng Chongxuan was with his mother, Fu Jin naturally met his mother.

[Geng Chongxuan met your mother three years after his former wife passed away. It was love at first sight, and he clung to your mother without hesitation...]

As soon as Fu Jin started talking, Fang Xia waved his hand and interrupted him, "Forget it, it doesn't matter what happened to them back then. Both of them have passed away for so many years. If the underworld reincarnation business is efficient Point, they are almost catching up with my age now."

[I thought you would care. ] Fu Jin said in a low voice.

"I cared a lot when I was young, because there were always people whispering in my ears, why my mother is a mistress, I am an illegitimate child, and my mother robbed other people's men. But my mother has always been very good in my eyes, and I don't like others to say that about her, I just want to find evidence that my mother is not a mistress, and refute them fiercely." Fang Xia felt that his legs were a little numb from squatting, so he simply tore down the cardboard box and placed it on the ground, and sat on it directly. I have to cry secretly—I was afraid that my mother would be worried, so I hid and cried. Even if I now know that Geng Zhongxuan’s original partner is long gone, and my mother didn’t get involved in other people’s families, it’s meaningless. Everyone is gone. It's the past, and there's nothing to care about. As for the fact that I'm an illegitimate child, it's still a fact, and it's true that my mother didn't marry Geng Zhongxuan."

[Who whispers those words in your ear all day? ] Fu Jin looked down at Fang Xia's hair, her deep voice brought out a hint of coolness.

"Hey, why are you angry? That's all about me when I was young, and I'm not angry anymore." Fang Xia looked up at Fu Jin with a smile.

Fu Jin looked down at Fang Xia's eyes and didn't speak.

"However, it's a bit weird to say, I remember those people saying bad things about my mother, but I can't remember their appearance." Fang Xia paused slightly, "It's not that I can't remember their appearance, but they are in my memory , seems to be a pile of black shadows without a clear outline. Maybe I was too young at that time to remember."

[I think...the "those people" you mentioned are probably not human beings. ] Fu Jin said.

Fang Xia was taken aback: "It's not a person, it's..."

[Probably a ghost. ] Fu Jin replied.

"Evil ghost?" Fang Xia touched a piece of meat floss bread from his mother's sacrifice, and while stuffing it into his mouth, he looked up at Fu Jin, signaling him to continue talking.

[Evil ghosts do not die in vain. They are either evildoers who were not taken away by ghost messengers in time, or wandering souls with evil thoughts in their own hearts, or ghosts affected by some external factors. There are many situations. To sum up Said to be a malicious ghost. ] Fu Jin said.

Fang Xia bit the bread and nodded, then took another apple from the side.

[Among the evil spirits, some like to whisper in people's ears, arouse people's anger, lead people to evil, and are malicious instigators.You should have encountered this kind of evil spirit when you were a child. ]
