I miss you
Chapter 39
At first, Zhou Jiayu thought that the shadow couldn't see clearly because it was hiding in the darkness.But when the black shadow slowly wriggled out of the darkness, he realized that the black shadow was not a person at all, but a bunch of hair that seemed to have life.These hairs are like worms, forming a human shape, and even the facial features can be barely seen.
Lin Zhushui's cold voice sounded, but he was talking to Zhou Jiayu and the others: "Stay by my side."
Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong nodded and took a step forward.
The black shadow that appeared on the opposite side suddenly disappeared.Immediately, there was a rustling sound around them, as if something was crawling on the ground.
Zhou Jiayu looked down, only to find countless strands of black hair rushing towards them from the darkness, quickly surrounding them.However, these hairs finally stopped at a position about one meter away from Lin Zhushui's feet, and it seemed that for some reason, he dared not go any further.
Lin Zhushui sneered, ignored the hair, turned around and walked in another direction.
Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong followed closely behind him, both of them felt a little vain looking at this scene, Zhou Jiayu's back was covered with cold sweat, he licked his lips, his mind was full of questions, but due to the occasion But he didn't dare to speak.
Lin Zhushui went straight to the target.Seeing the direction Lin Zhushui was heading towards, the hair seemed a little anxious, and moved even more violently, and even began to stretch out strands tentatively, trying to break through the invisible boundary around Lin Zhu.
But every time they invaded the boundary, they would be quickly scorched, exuding a disgusting smell.
Zhou Jiayu felt that the light had dimmed. He raised his head and found that their tops were also covered by those densely tied hair.The hair presents a semicircle at this time, covering them all, and Lin Zhushui is in the center of this semicircle.His footsteps were not in a hurry, and he did not show a slight retreat because of the vision around him.
The goal of Lin Zhushui seems to be the center of the small garden.
He skirted the fence and stepped onto the wet earth.
Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong also stepped up, but as soon as they stepped up, they felt that the soil under their feet seemed not right.Zhou Jiayu took a closer look at the ground under his feet, and he almost spit it out at this glance, where there was dirt under their feet, there were obviously clumps of black hair.These hairs are still squirming, and some of them are still trying to wrap around their feet.
But as before, as long as the hair tried to contact them, it was instantly burnt to ashes, exposing the yellow soil underneath.
Zhou Jiayu felt that this hair looked really disgusting, and felt that he might not have to eat for three or four days after he went back.As he was thinking this, he felt something grab his foot.
"Damn!" Zhou Jiayu cursed, but realized that at some point, tree roots protruded from the soil, trying to pull his and Shen Yiqiong's feet.
The persimmon still had to be picked softly, those tree roots didn't seem to have much interest in Lin Zhushui, but shifted their attack targets to Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong.
Fortunately, the Buddhist beads that Huiming gave them both were of great use. Whenever those tree roots tried to wrap around their feet, they would be bounced away by a faint golden light.
Seeing this, Zhou Jiayu heaved a sigh of relief, he couldn't keep up with Lin Zhushui right now - it would be great if the husband could carry him on his back, Zhou Jiayu's secret poking fantasy.
Lin Zhushui didn't know Zhou Jiayu's divergent thinking, he simply ignored these innocuous harassments, and stopped under the huge locust tree in the center of the garden.
Zhou Jiayu didn't pay much attention before, but now that he got closer, he realized that the locust tree was really huge.It seems to be at least a few hundred years old, and the trunk is so thick that at least a dozen adults need to gather around it hand in hand to wrap it.
Lin Zhushui stretched out his hand and patted the pagoda tree.
As soon as he slapped his palm, Zhou Jiayu clearly saw that the bark of the pagoda tree was blackened quickly, and then there was a sizzling sound, and the black liquid dripped down the bark, giving off a foul smell.
Is there anything special about this locust tree?Just as Zhou Jiayu thought this way, he heard a baby crying from above his head.
The cries were continuous, and it was obvious that there was not only one child.
At first Zhou Jiayu thought that the crying was just a vision created by that thing, but Lin Zhushui frowned slightly.
"Do you want these children to die?" A hoarse voice sounded above them.
The voice sounded very strange. It stands to reason that under normal circumstances, the age and gender of a person can be roughly judged based on the voice, but Zhou Jiayu couldn't hear the person's information from this voice, because the voice was almost Between the two, it sounds very uncomfortable.
The baby's cries became louder and louder, and the source of the cries seemed to be the top of their heads. Zhou Jiayu looked up the treetops, and found that the black hair blocking them had disappeared at some point, and was dangling above them. , There are actually a few babies wrapped tightly by hair.
These babies should still be human, with their bodies completely covered by hair, leaving only one head outside.
Lin Zhushui said coldly: "What do you want?"
The voice hissed and laughed, and it said, "Don't worry about this, otherwise, I'll kill them all."
Lin Zhushui laughed when he heard the words, he said lightly: "Could it be that if I don't come today, you won't kill these children?"
no respond.
"Let me guess how far you have come." Lin Zhushui said, "With enough sacrifices, you should have awakened her mind... Yan Hongxiu, what a good name."
Still no answer.
This silence made Lin Zhushui laugh, he said: "Let me guess again." He pointed to the piece of loess under his feet, and said, "The person you want to resurrect is right under our feet?"
The leaves on the treetops began to tremble slightly, and the sound of the wind, accompanied by the cry of the baby, echoed in the dead night sky.
"You don't want their lives? These are a few children!" When the hoarse voice sounded again, he was already a little out of breath.
"I want it." Lin Zhushui said coldly, "So, why don't we make a deal?"
"What deal?" the voice asked.
"I'll let you go, you leave the child behind." Lin Zhushui stepped up and walked slowly around the trunk, his white and slender fingers gently stroked the thick trunk, leaving a black mark on it.
"How can you guarantee to let me go?" The voice obviously didn't trust Lin Zhushui, and said, "What if you go back on your word?"
Lin Zhushui said, "Aside from trusting me, what else can you do?"
A moment of silence.
"Okay." The voice finally agreed to Lin Zhushui's proposal, it said, "I believe in you, you remove the yang energy, and I will send the baby back."
"It can't be withdrawn." Lin Zhushui said bluntly, "You send the baby to my apprentice's arms." When he said this, he made a gesture with his right hand in Shen Yiqiong's direction.
After seeing this gesture, Shen Yiqiong stretched out his hand and pinched Zhou Jiayu's arm.
Zhou Jiayu was a little dazed by being pinched, but he obviously knew that there must be something to pay attention to, he opened his mouth slightly, and swallowed the question he wanted to ask into his throat—he should play it by ear.
The crying baby, wrapped in black hair, began to approach them slowly, and in order to prevent the hair from being burned, Lin Zhushui also moved away from them.
Because the surroundings were too dark, he could barely see the outline of the baby, but when the baby and the hair approached Zhou Jiayu to a certain distance, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Zhou Jiayu said: "One poor..."
Shen Yiqiong didn't speak, he stretched out his hand and pinched Zhou Jiayu's arm, and then stuffed something into his palm.The touch of that thing seemed to be talisman paper, Zhou Jiayu felt a little relieved.
The hair suddenly started to speed up, throwing the baby directly towards them. Zhou Jiayu was going to catch it with his hands, but he stayed for a moment when the hair threw the baby out - the baby was not a complete baby at all. , but only one head!The head's eyes were only the whites of the eyes, and the mouth opened to reveal rows of fine teeth. With a sharp cry, it smashed towards them.
Shen Yiqiong cursed, dodged to dodge, and then directly pasted the talisman paper in his hand.
After the talisman paper came into contact with the human head, a ball of flame burst out, and the red flame directly wrapped the entire human head.
"Ahhhhh!!!" In the darkness, the hoarse voice rang out a miserable scream, the scream was like weeping blood, with great anger.
Before Zhou Jiayu could react, he felt the ground shaking under his feet. He and Shen Yiqiong stared at the front in dumbfounded—that huge locust tree seemed to have life, and its trunk began to shake crazily. It's like trying to pull the roots out of the soil.
"What's wrong!" It was so chaotic at this moment that Zhou Jiayu couldn't figure out the situation at all.
Shen Yiqiong was also a little confused, and said: "Let's go, let's stay away, Mr. must have touched something important!"
The two of them rolled down the flower bed and ran towards the distance.
"Kill you!! Kill you!!" I don't know what Lin Zhushui did while they were dealing with the head, which caused the thing to react so strongly that the ground trembled violently.
The huge locust tree stretched its branches and leaves, and began to attack frantically and indiscriminately.Zhou Jiayu was almost swept by a branch several times, but fortunately he managed to stabilize his body.Moreover, he noticed that the hair that had covered the ground before had all turned into branches, densely spread on the ground,
Shen Yiqiong's voice suddenly came to mind, and he said, "Damn it, look there!!"
Zhou Jiayu looked in the direction Shen Yiqiong pointed, but saw Lin Zhushui standing in the darkness, and the coffin beside him attracted the attention of both of them.
The coffin was not big, but it was very delicate, with various patterns engraved on it, even though Zhou Jiayu couldn't see clearly in the dark, he could still feel that this coffin was definitely not ordinary.The outside of the coffin was painted with a layer of red paint, so exquisite that it was like a work of art.
Lin Zhushui was holding a dagger in his hand, and the blade had completely sunk into the coffin. He stood there, and the branches flying around did not affect him at all.
"Don't touch her! Don't touch her!" The hoarse voice sounded, with the smell of weeping blood, and the locust tree waving wildly seemed to destroy everything.
"It's time to pay off the debt." Lin Zhushui said this lightly, and then began to use force in his hand, holding the dagger and slashing down heavily.The thin coffin wall was split by him like this, revealing the contents of the coffin.
Zhou Jiayu saw a woman with her eyes closed inside the coffin.
The woman was wearing a red wedding dress, with delicate makeup on her face, her eyes were closed, as if she was in a deep sleep, no one who looked at her like this would think she was a dead person.
"Yanhongxiu?" Lin Zhushui called out the name.
The woman's eyelashes began to tremble slightly, and then she opened her eyes, and she said, "Where am I, who are you?"
Lin Zhushui frowned: "It turns out that he has become sane—"
"Who are you?" The woman looked at her chest. There was a hole there. Lin Zhushui's dagger had just been inserted there. She said, "I'm not dead, where is this?"
Lin Zhushui said coldly: "Someone made you into a zombie."
Yan Hongxiu was obviously stunned for a moment, tears began to accumulate in her eyes, but the tears were blood red, she said: "Why are you so stupid, so stupid..." She said this, but saw the place where the locust tree was. From the dark place, a young man ran out.That person did not know when he appeared, he came to Yan Hongxiu's side, and hugged her tightly, "I obviously succeeded, only a little bit, just a little bit--"
He never dreamed that Lin Zhushui would actually find the place where he buried Yan Hongxiu, and stab the dagger into the ground, severely injuring Yan Hongxiu's vitals.
"How many people did you kill?" Yan Hongxiu was held in the arms of the man, she asked in despair, "How many people did you kill?"
"A lot, a lot, a lot..." the man said, "I miss you so much, forgive me for breaking our vow." He began to cry like a child.
"No, no! You clearly promised me, you clearly promised me..." Yan Hongxiu also started to cry, she slowly shifted her gaze to Lin Zhushui, and said, "Dare to ask the origin of Mr.?"
Lin Zhushui said lightly: "The Lin family in Zhangcheng, Lin Zhushui."
Yan Hongxiu said: "I am Yan Hongxiu, a relative of the Xu family in Sheshan, and he is my lover."
Lin Zhushui remained expressionless.
Yan Hongxiu smiled miserably: "He was originally a locust tree spirit in the mountains. I grew up with him since I was a child, so I fell in love with him. Later, I fell into a serious illness and couldn't get over it..."
Lin Zhushui said calmly: "In order to turn you into a zombie, he killed at least 200 people, including many young children."
Yan Hongxiu showed a look of despair, she said: "Please, Mr. please, borrow the dagger and use it..."
Lin Zhushui was silent for a moment: "I can do it for you."
Yan Hongxiu shook her head slowly, she said: "I want to come in person."
Lin Zhushui sighed softly, without further pressing, he casually handed the golden dagger in his hand to Yan Hongxiu.
Yan Hongxiu lay in the man's arms, stretched out her hands and shook, she said: "I... want to take your life with my own hands, do you blame me?"
The man lowered his head and whimpered like a child, he said: "You should have taken me with you, you should have taken me with you...I don't want to do that either, I'm just afraid, afraid to look at your body rotten..."
Yan Hongxiu laughed, she leaned over, kissed the man's lips, and then leaned her chest against his, she said: "You are still so stupid, you don't listen to me..." He stabbed heavily from behind, piercing through their bodies.
A black mist rose into the sky, and the bodies of both of them began to change.
Black mist began to rise from Yan Hongxiu's body, and her originally rosy face turned pale.And the man's body was also disappearing, as if the soil had melted into the ground.
Both Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong saw the previous scene, and they were a little silent.
"Is it over, sir?" Zhou Jiayu asked.
"It's over?" But Lin Zhushui sneered, and said, "It's still early." An ignorant locust tree spirit, how could it know how to make zombies, and whether it's a bridge or an old building, Apparently, someone was there to help the two, and even helped them cover up the aftermath.
"Come here." Lin Zhushui said, "Dig a hole and bury her here."
Zhou Jiayu asked in surprise, "Here?"
Lin Zhushui nodded: "Since the two of you don't want to separate, we don't have to force it." At this moment, the black mist dissipated and everything returned to calm.
Zhou Jiayu originally thought that he would dig a big hole, but when he looked at Yan Hongxiu, he found that her wedding dress was empty, and her body disappeared as if following the black mist. .
It would be much more convenient to just bury the clothes. Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong dug a hole and buried all of Yan Hongxiu's clothes in the soil.
Lin Zhushui took out a bag from his bosom, and took out Yan Hongxiu's life token.
At this time, there was no blood on the life card, and it became an ordinary wooden card.
Zhou Jiayu originally thought that he would bury the wooden plaque with Yan Hongxiu, but he didn't expect that he put the wooden plaque in his arms in the end, and said softly: "Sheshan's relative."
Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong didn't quite understand, they stood obediently by the side, waiting for Lin Zhushui's orders.
"Let's go." Lin Zhushui waved his hand, "Going back."
At this time, the sun had already risen in the sky, and the orange sunlight hit the rustling locust trees, as if coated with a layer of golden light.
Zhou Jiayu turned his head and looked behind him, and said, "Sir, the pagoda tree wasn't there yesterday, but it appeared today. The people who live here saw it, so is there any problem?"
Lin Zhushui said: "It doesn't matter, I cast a spell here, and under the influence of the spell, they will feel that this locust tree should be here in the first place."
Zhou Jiayu said, "Wow, there is such a spell."
Lin Zhushui raised his eyebrows: "What?"
Zhou Jiayu said: "No, I think this spell should be very useful for finding a girlfriend."
Lin Zhushui: "..."
Shen Yiqiong patted Zhou Jiayu's shoulder from the side, with a look on his face that you are really getting more and more courageous, and dared to joke with your husband.But seeing Zhou Jiayu's serious expression, Shen Yiqiong realized that he really didn't seem to be joking...
"It's impossible to fall in love while practicing here with Master." Shen Yiqiong later told Zhou Jiayu quietly, "If you want to fall in love, you have to get a teacher. This is the rule set by the master at that time."
Zhou Jiayu said, "What are you telling me?"
Shen Yiqiong twitched: "Don't you want to fall in love?"
Zhou Jiayu was puzzled: "I don't have one."
Shen Yiqiong said: "Hmph, I don't believe it."
Zhou Jiayu felt that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old adolescent was really hard to handle...
After the three of them dealt with the matter, they returned to the hotel and had a good rest for the day.
The next day, Lin Zhushui brought Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong to the bridge again.Zhou Jiayu saw an acquaintance on the Internet, but it was Qin Yihe who had lost his lover.
Qin Yihe was standing at the end of the bridge, as if he was burning paper or something, Zhou Jiayu went over and called her.
"It's you." Qin Yihe's complexion was much better than before, at least her smile was no longer forced, she held some paper money in her hand, and smiled, "I dreamed about her yesterday, she said she missed me, I Just come and see her."
Zhou Jiayu didn't know what to say to comfort her, so he could only say condolences.
"Well, I know." Qin Yihe said, "She didn't want me to be too sad, and even comforted me. I will try my best to adjust my emotions, thank you."
Zhou Jiayu hesitated for a while, and told Qin Yihe what he saw on the bridge, saying that Tang Xiaochuan had broken free from resentment and his soul had been purified.
Qin Yihe nodded and thanked again.
Today is the last day of Huiming's ceremony. Compared with more than ten days ago, his complexion is much haggard. It seems that this ceremony has consumed a lot of his energy.
At the end, Jiang Shiliu and Jiang Jiujiu were both present, and they thanked Huiming repeatedly.
Huiming kept smiling, but even Zhou Jiayu felt that this smile was a little fake. He said softly, "It would be best if the benefactor can avoid such troubles. I hope that there is no chance to make a move."
Jiang Shiliu sighed, "Master taught you the right thing."
Huiming clasped his hands together, saluted, turned and left.
On the car back, Lin Zhushui and Huiming told Huiming about Yanhongxiu. After hearing this, Huiming frowned and said, "Yanhongxiu's surname is very uncommon. When you mention the Xu family in Sheshan, I don't know." Thinking about it, it seems that their relatives do have this surname."
Lin Zhushui didn't speak, he seemed to be thinking about something.
"So many lives are not detrimental to the virtue." Huiming sighed, "This area is all Jiang's territory. If they are not completely ignorant, I don't believe it." Whether it is the fire in the old building or the bridge, It's a big deal, even if you don't know the details, you can definitely hear the news. "
Lin Zhushui said: "Yes, I know."
"Besides, now..." Huiming said righteously, "Your two apprentices are still following you, wouldn't it be unsafe, or let them come to Qingtan Temple to practice with me for a while."
Lin Zhushui scolded: "Dream! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"
Huiming sighed, and looked away from Zhou Jiayu reluctantly.
Zhou Jiayu shuddered, inexplicably, from Huiming's eyes, he thought of the weasel at home, could it be that he also became a walking ice cream in Huiming's eyes?
After everything was done, Lin Zhushui booked a ticket to leave.
The night before leaving, Zhou Jiayu fell asleep early,
In the middle of the night, he was awakened suddenly by a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Zhou Jiayu yawned. He thought that Shen Yiqiong had something to do, so he walked to the door without thinking too much.But fortunately, the habit he has developed over the years made him do the first thing to look at the cat's eyes, which almost scared him away.
I saw a paper man standing outside the door, the paper man was the same size as a normal person, wearing a colorful shirt, with bright red lips grinning at him.
Zhou Jiayu began to thank Lin Zhushui in his heart for exercising his and Shen Yiqiong's courage. To be honest, if this had happened before, he doubted that he would have been frightened and passed away.
"Open the door." A faint voice came from outside the door.
Zhou Jiayu thought to himself, why should I open the door for you when I closed it with my mother's ability? He rushed back to the bed, wanting to tell Lin Zhushui about it, but then remembered that he didn't have a cell phone.
What to do, what to do, what to do, Zhou Jiayu touched the goose bumps on his arm and gritted his teeth.
There was a rustling sound coming from the door, Zhou Jiayu glanced at the door, and began to curse crazily in his heart.The paper figurine actually started trying to squeeze in through the crack of the door, seeing that half of its head had already penetrated.
Zhou Jiayu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, his eyes looked around the room, and then he suddenly noticed something on the table - a lighter.
He picked up the lighter, went to the door, and said to the paper man with a sneer, "It's useless to look so scary, you're not made of fucking paper."
The paper figurine's smile froze.
Zhou Jiayu bent over to light the fire, all in one go.
The paper figurine really ignited, and it shrank back screaming, Zhou Jiayu scolded in the room: "It's time to improve, what kind of paper do you use, you have the ability to use steel plates, you bastard!"
There was no movement outside, Zhou Jiayu looked out through the cat's eyes again, but saw nothing.
But even so, he was a little afraid to fall asleep, afraid that after he fell asleep, the paper man would squeeze in from some corner.The only thing Zhou Jiayu is lucky about now is that this paper figurine's IQ doesn't seem to be high, and he knocked on the door first. Otherwise, when he wakes up and opens his eyes, he will see this thing standing beside the bed. Scared to death.
The next day, Zhou Jiayu went out and went downstairs as soon as it was dawn, and stayed in a crowded place.
Shen Yiqiong was surprised when he saw it, and said, "Guan'er, why did you get up so early today?" Usually he was the one to wake up Zhou Jiayu, but when he got up today, he found that Zhou Jiayu had already finished his breakfast. Sit and rest on the first floor.
"I met that paper figurine again last night." Zhou Jiayu recounted what happened last night with a gloomy face.
Shen Yiqiong was dumbfounded when he heard that, and said, "Damn it, did you really light it with a lighter?"
Zhou Jiayu said, "That's right!"
Shen Yiqiong said: "...but ordinary paper dolls are not the same."
Zhou Jiayu: "...What??"
Shen Yiqiong rubbed his head: "Paper figurines are very dark things, and ordinary lighters definitely won't light them."
Zhou Jiayu fell into silence. He also felt that what happened last night was a bit weird, so he went back to the room with Shen Yiqiong to check.In the end, Zhou Jiayu still saw traces of the flames on the floor, and he said, "Look, isn't this burnt?"
Shen Yiqiong said: "... I don't understand, let's ask Mr.
Zhou Jiayu said it was good.
Lin Zhushui was eating breakfast on the first floor, not so much for breakfast, but actually just drank some milk. When he saw Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong coming over in a hurry, the first thing he said was: "Last night What happened?"
"Sir, do you already know?" Zhou Jiayu asked in surprise.
Lin Zhushui said: "Yes."
Zhou Jiayu immediately remembered something: "Then, that lighter, you put it in my room too?" Thinking about it now, the location and color of that lighter are very conspicuous, and he hadn't noticed anything in the room before.
"Yes." Lin Zhushui took another sip of milk slowly, and said, "I suggest you take your lighter with you."
Zhou Jiayu was dumbfounded: "Huh?"
Lin Zhushui said: "The Xu family of Sheshan is a little special."
Zhou Jiayu said, "Special?"
Lin Zhushui took out a small paper figurine from his pocket, put the paper figurine on the table, and stood up tremblingly after a while: "Their family is proficient in burials, yes Paper figurines have special research."
Especially in ancient feudal times, dignitaries and dignitaries had extremely high requirements for burials.Usually there are traps everywhere in the tomb, and only the maker knows the access.
People from the Xu family never use living people for burial, they always use paper dolls as agents. The paper dolls have the most basic mind and can obey some simple orders.
Seeing the trembling appearance of the little paper figurine, Zhou Jiayu stretched out his hand and carefully poked it: "It's...really moving. Sir, are you manipulating the paper figurine again?"
Lin Zhushui said lightly: "Well, but I don't know much about this business, so I can barely make it move."
Zhou Jiayu thought this was enough...
"Go back first." Lin Zhushui said, "accompany me to Sheshan in a while."
Of course Zhou Jiayu agreed, but when he said this, he reached into his pocket and touched the lighter, feeling much safer.
Knowing that Lin Zhushui and the others were leaving, Jiang Shijiu and Jiang Shiliu both came to see him off.
Jiang Jiujiu was haggard again, his whole body was so emaciated that he didn't look good. When he was seeing him off, he had a very difficult smile on his face, looking very forced.Jiang Shiliu didn't even put a smile on his face. When he arrived at the airport, he found Lin Zhushui, and without saying a word, he suddenly rolled up his sleeves.
Zhou Jiayu was taken aback by Jiang Shiliu's actions, but soon showed surprise.
I saw that Jiang Shiliu's arm was covered with dense red lines. Those red lines seemed to be cut and healed by some sharp weapon, almost covering Jiang Shiliu's entire arm.
"Mr. Lin." Jiang Shiliu said with difficulty, "There are some things in the Jiang family that I can't control."
Lin Zhushui was silent.
Jiang Shiliu said: "I almost lost my hand. I have been recuperating for almost half a year. During this half year, I didn't have the energy to take care of the Jiang family's affairs. That's why Jiang Shijiu made such a big mistake."
Lin Zhushui said: "If you don't have diamonds, why do you need to do that porcelain job?"
Jiang Shiliu smiled wryly: "People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes."
Lin Zhushui said: "Since we are in the Jianghu, we should follow the rules of the Jianghu."
Jiang Shiliu sighed heavily and stopped talking.
From getting on the plane to arriving home, Lin Zhushui didn't say much. He seemed to be in a bad mood, and the expression on his face was also very pale.
After arriving home, Shen Yiqiong told Zhou Jiayu that if people's lives were on their hands in their business, it would be easy to lose their morals. Looking at Jiang Shijiu's appearance, something must have happened to him.That's why Jiang Shiliu came out to test, wanting Lin Zhushui to help.
But Lin Zhushui's sentence "follow the rules of the rivers and lakes" expresses the meaning of refusal.
"After all, there are sixty lives." Shen Yiqiong said, "And the mistakes he made were too low-level. He didn't show up when the bridge is so important. It's too inappropriate."
Zhou Jiayu sighed as he thought of the dead Tang Xiaochuan.
After arriving home, Shen Musi was not at home, he didn't know where he had gone, there was only one weasel sitting on the sofa, eating snacks and watching TV, seeing its smooth fur, it seemed that the little life was quite nourishing.
Seeing Zhou Jiayu's return, the weasel rushed over happily, smelling left and right, as if to confirm what smell Zhou Jiayu had on him.
Zhou Jiayu picked it up, stroked its smooth fur, and said, "Did you miss me, Xiao Huang?"
Weasel: "????" When did it call Xiaohuang?
Shen Yiqiong said: "Oh, I'm so tired. What are we going to have for dinner? Otherwise, let's talk to my husband and go out for a night together..." He originally wanted to talk about supper, but he remembered something, and said "Supper" abruptly. "The word was swallowed.
Zhou Jiayu said: "Forget it, it's safer to eat at home. I'll go and see what's in the refrigerator."
Shen Yiqiong said yes.
Zhou Jiayu took the kitchen, inspected it roughly, and said, "Let's eat hot pot. There are quite a few dishes. I'll make a soup base. It's only past four o'clock, so I can make it in time."
Shen Yiqiong said yes, yes.
In the evening, several people ate Zhou Jiayu's hot pot with pickled peppers. The soup was bone broth. After boiling, pickled peppers and various spices were added. It was delicious.
Lin Zhushui also came over and sat next to Zhou Jiayu.
Weasels, like scarves, surrounded Zhou Jiayu, drooling over the hot pot.
Zhou Jiayu took a bite of the food, and suddenly felt that this kind of life is also very good. Although he will encounter all kinds of strange things, at least he will always have someone by his side, so he won't be alone all the time.
The author has something to say: Zhou Jiayu used a notebook to write down the things that must be brought: lighter, prayer beads, pendant, talisman paper...
Lin Zhushui used a notebook to write down what he had to bring: the little stupid fish at home.
Lin Zhushui's cold voice sounded, but he was talking to Zhou Jiayu and the others: "Stay by my side."
Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong nodded and took a step forward.
The black shadow that appeared on the opposite side suddenly disappeared.Immediately, there was a rustling sound around them, as if something was crawling on the ground.
Zhou Jiayu looked down, only to find countless strands of black hair rushing towards them from the darkness, quickly surrounding them.However, these hairs finally stopped at a position about one meter away from Lin Zhushui's feet, and it seemed that for some reason, he dared not go any further.
Lin Zhushui sneered, ignored the hair, turned around and walked in another direction.
Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong followed closely behind him, both of them felt a little vain looking at this scene, Zhou Jiayu's back was covered with cold sweat, he licked his lips, his mind was full of questions, but due to the occasion But he didn't dare to speak.
Lin Zhushui went straight to the target.Seeing the direction Lin Zhushui was heading towards, the hair seemed a little anxious, and moved even more violently, and even began to stretch out strands tentatively, trying to break through the invisible boundary around Lin Zhu.
But every time they invaded the boundary, they would be quickly scorched, exuding a disgusting smell.
Zhou Jiayu felt that the light had dimmed. He raised his head and found that their tops were also covered by those densely tied hair.The hair presents a semicircle at this time, covering them all, and Lin Zhushui is in the center of this semicircle.His footsteps were not in a hurry, and he did not show a slight retreat because of the vision around him.
The goal of Lin Zhushui seems to be the center of the small garden.
He skirted the fence and stepped onto the wet earth.
Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong also stepped up, but as soon as they stepped up, they felt that the soil under their feet seemed not right.Zhou Jiayu took a closer look at the ground under his feet, and he almost spit it out at this glance, where there was dirt under their feet, there were obviously clumps of black hair.These hairs are still squirming, and some of them are still trying to wrap around their feet.
But as before, as long as the hair tried to contact them, it was instantly burnt to ashes, exposing the yellow soil underneath.
Zhou Jiayu felt that this hair looked really disgusting, and felt that he might not have to eat for three or four days after he went back.As he was thinking this, he felt something grab his foot.
"Damn!" Zhou Jiayu cursed, but realized that at some point, tree roots protruded from the soil, trying to pull his and Shen Yiqiong's feet.
The persimmon still had to be picked softly, those tree roots didn't seem to have much interest in Lin Zhushui, but shifted their attack targets to Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong.
Fortunately, the Buddhist beads that Huiming gave them both were of great use. Whenever those tree roots tried to wrap around their feet, they would be bounced away by a faint golden light.
Seeing this, Zhou Jiayu heaved a sigh of relief, he couldn't keep up with Lin Zhushui right now - it would be great if the husband could carry him on his back, Zhou Jiayu's secret poking fantasy.
Lin Zhushui didn't know Zhou Jiayu's divergent thinking, he simply ignored these innocuous harassments, and stopped under the huge locust tree in the center of the garden.
Zhou Jiayu didn't pay much attention before, but now that he got closer, he realized that the locust tree was really huge.It seems to be at least a few hundred years old, and the trunk is so thick that at least a dozen adults need to gather around it hand in hand to wrap it.
Lin Zhushui stretched out his hand and patted the pagoda tree.
As soon as he slapped his palm, Zhou Jiayu clearly saw that the bark of the pagoda tree was blackened quickly, and then there was a sizzling sound, and the black liquid dripped down the bark, giving off a foul smell.
Is there anything special about this locust tree?Just as Zhou Jiayu thought this way, he heard a baby crying from above his head.
The cries were continuous, and it was obvious that there was not only one child.
At first Zhou Jiayu thought that the crying was just a vision created by that thing, but Lin Zhushui frowned slightly.
"Do you want these children to die?" A hoarse voice sounded above them.
The voice sounded very strange. It stands to reason that under normal circumstances, the age and gender of a person can be roughly judged based on the voice, but Zhou Jiayu couldn't hear the person's information from this voice, because the voice was almost Between the two, it sounds very uncomfortable.
The baby's cries became louder and louder, and the source of the cries seemed to be the top of their heads. Zhou Jiayu looked up the treetops, and found that the black hair blocking them had disappeared at some point, and was dangling above them. , There are actually a few babies wrapped tightly by hair.
These babies should still be human, with their bodies completely covered by hair, leaving only one head outside.
Lin Zhushui said coldly: "What do you want?"
The voice hissed and laughed, and it said, "Don't worry about this, otherwise, I'll kill them all."
Lin Zhushui laughed when he heard the words, he said lightly: "Could it be that if I don't come today, you won't kill these children?"
no respond.
"Let me guess how far you have come." Lin Zhushui said, "With enough sacrifices, you should have awakened her mind... Yan Hongxiu, what a good name."
Still no answer.
This silence made Lin Zhushui laugh, he said: "Let me guess again." He pointed to the piece of loess under his feet, and said, "The person you want to resurrect is right under our feet?"
The leaves on the treetops began to tremble slightly, and the sound of the wind, accompanied by the cry of the baby, echoed in the dead night sky.
"You don't want their lives? These are a few children!" When the hoarse voice sounded again, he was already a little out of breath.
"I want it." Lin Zhushui said coldly, "So, why don't we make a deal?"
"What deal?" the voice asked.
"I'll let you go, you leave the child behind." Lin Zhushui stepped up and walked slowly around the trunk, his white and slender fingers gently stroked the thick trunk, leaving a black mark on it.
"How can you guarantee to let me go?" The voice obviously didn't trust Lin Zhushui, and said, "What if you go back on your word?"
Lin Zhushui said, "Aside from trusting me, what else can you do?"
A moment of silence.
"Okay." The voice finally agreed to Lin Zhushui's proposal, it said, "I believe in you, you remove the yang energy, and I will send the baby back."
"It can't be withdrawn." Lin Zhushui said bluntly, "You send the baby to my apprentice's arms." When he said this, he made a gesture with his right hand in Shen Yiqiong's direction.
After seeing this gesture, Shen Yiqiong stretched out his hand and pinched Zhou Jiayu's arm.
Zhou Jiayu was a little dazed by being pinched, but he obviously knew that there must be something to pay attention to, he opened his mouth slightly, and swallowed the question he wanted to ask into his throat—he should play it by ear.
The crying baby, wrapped in black hair, began to approach them slowly, and in order to prevent the hair from being burned, Lin Zhushui also moved away from them.
Because the surroundings were too dark, he could barely see the outline of the baby, but when the baby and the hair approached Zhou Jiayu to a certain distance, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Zhou Jiayu said: "One poor..."
Shen Yiqiong didn't speak, he stretched out his hand and pinched Zhou Jiayu's arm, and then stuffed something into his palm.The touch of that thing seemed to be talisman paper, Zhou Jiayu felt a little relieved.
The hair suddenly started to speed up, throwing the baby directly towards them. Zhou Jiayu was going to catch it with his hands, but he stayed for a moment when the hair threw the baby out - the baby was not a complete baby at all. , but only one head!The head's eyes were only the whites of the eyes, and the mouth opened to reveal rows of fine teeth. With a sharp cry, it smashed towards them.
Shen Yiqiong cursed, dodged to dodge, and then directly pasted the talisman paper in his hand.
After the talisman paper came into contact with the human head, a ball of flame burst out, and the red flame directly wrapped the entire human head.
"Ahhhhh!!!" In the darkness, the hoarse voice rang out a miserable scream, the scream was like weeping blood, with great anger.
Before Zhou Jiayu could react, he felt the ground shaking under his feet. He and Shen Yiqiong stared at the front in dumbfounded—that huge locust tree seemed to have life, and its trunk began to shake crazily. It's like trying to pull the roots out of the soil.
"What's wrong!" It was so chaotic at this moment that Zhou Jiayu couldn't figure out the situation at all.
Shen Yiqiong was also a little confused, and said: "Let's go, let's stay away, Mr. must have touched something important!"
The two of them rolled down the flower bed and ran towards the distance.
"Kill you!! Kill you!!" I don't know what Lin Zhushui did while they were dealing with the head, which caused the thing to react so strongly that the ground trembled violently.
The huge locust tree stretched its branches and leaves, and began to attack frantically and indiscriminately.Zhou Jiayu was almost swept by a branch several times, but fortunately he managed to stabilize his body.Moreover, he noticed that the hair that had covered the ground before had all turned into branches, densely spread on the ground,
Shen Yiqiong's voice suddenly came to mind, and he said, "Damn it, look there!!"
Zhou Jiayu looked in the direction Shen Yiqiong pointed, but saw Lin Zhushui standing in the darkness, and the coffin beside him attracted the attention of both of them.
The coffin was not big, but it was very delicate, with various patterns engraved on it, even though Zhou Jiayu couldn't see clearly in the dark, he could still feel that this coffin was definitely not ordinary.The outside of the coffin was painted with a layer of red paint, so exquisite that it was like a work of art.
Lin Zhushui was holding a dagger in his hand, and the blade had completely sunk into the coffin. He stood there, and the branches flying around did not affect him at all.
"Don't touch her! Don't touch her!" The hoarse voice sounded, with the smell of weeping blood, and the locust tree waving wildly seemed to destroy everything.
"It's time to pay off the debt." Lin Zhushui said this lightly, and then began to use force in his hand, holding the dagger and slashing down heavily.The thin coffin wall was split by him like this, revealing the contents of the coffin.
Zhou Jiayu saw a woman with her eyes closed inside the coffin.
The woman was wearing a red wedding dress, with delicate makeup on her face, her eyes were closed, as if she was in a deep sleep, no one who looked at her like this would think she was a dead person.
"Yanhongxiu?" Lin Zhushui called out the name.
The woman's eyelashes began to tremble slightly, and then she opened her eyes, and she said, "Where am I, who are you?"
Lin Zhushui frowned: "It turns out that he has become sane—"
"Who are you?" The woman looked at her chest. There was a hole there. Lin Zhushui's dagger had just been inserted there. She said, "I'm not dead, where is this?"
Lin Zhushui said coldly: "Someone made you into a zombie."
Yan Hongxiu was obviously stunned for a moment, tears began to accumulate in her eyes, but the tears were blood red, she said: "Why are you so stupid, so stupid..." She said this, but saw the place where the locust tree was. From the dark place, a young man ran out.That person did not know when he appeared, he came to Yan Hongxiu's side, and hugged her tightly, "I obviously succeeded, only a little bit, just a little bit--"
He never dreamed that Lin Zhushui would actually find the place where he buried Yan Hongxiu, and stab the dagger into the ground, severely injuring Yan Hongxiu's vitals.
"How many people did you kill?" Yan Hongxiu was held in the arms of the man, she asked in despair, "How many people did you kill?"
"A lot, a lot, a lot..." the man said, "I miss you so much, forgive me for breaking our vow." He began to cry like a child.
"No, no! You clearly promised me, you clearly promised me..." Yan Hongxiu also started to cry, she slowly shifted her gaze to Lin Zhushui, and said, "Dare to ask the origin of Mr.?"
Lin Zhushui said lightly: "The Lin family in Zhangcheng, Lin Zhushui."
Yan Hongxiu said: "I am Yan Hongxiu, a relative of the Xu family in Sheshan, and he is my lover."
Lin Zhushui remained expressionless.
Yan Hongxiu smiled miserably: "He was originally a locust tree spirit in the mountains. I grew up with him since I was a child, so I fell in love with him. Later, I fell into a serious illness and couldn't get over it..."
Lin Zhushui said calmly: "In order to turn you into a zombie, he killed at least 200 people, including many young children."
Yan Hongxiu showed a look of despair, she said: "Please, Mr. please, borrow the dagger and use it..."
Lin Zhushui was silent for a moment: "I can do it for you."
Yan Hongxiu shook her head slowly, she said: "I want to come in person."
Lin Zhushui sighed softly, without further pressing, he casually handed the golden dagger in his hand to Yan Hongxiu.
Yan Hongxiu lay in the man's arms, stretched out her hands and shook, she said: "I... want to take your life with my own hands, do you blame me?"
The man lowered his head and whimpered like a child, he said: "You should have taken me with you, you should have taken me with you...I don't want to do that either, I'm just afraid, afraid to look at your body rotten..."
Yan Hongxiu laughed, she leaned over, kissed the man's lips, and then leaned her chest against his, she said: "You are still so stupid, you don't listen to me..." He stabbed heavily from behind, piercing through their bodies.
A black mist rose into the sky, and the bodies of both of them began to change.
Black mist began to rise from Yan Hongxiu's body, and her originally rosy face turned pale.And the man's body was also disappearing, as if the soil had melted into the ground.
Both Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong saw the previous scene, and they were a little silent.
"Is it over, sir?" Zhou Jiayu asked.
"It's over?" But Lin Zhushui sneered, and said, "It's still early." An ignorant locust tree spirit, how could it know how to make zombies, and whether it's a bridge or an old building, Apparently, someone was there to help the two, and even helped them cover up the aftermath.
"Come here." Lin Zhushui said, "Dig a hole and bury her here."
Zhou Jiayu asked in surprise, "Here?"
Lin Zhushui nodded: "Since the two of you don't want to separate, we don't have to force it." At this moment, the black mist dissipated and everything returned to calm.
Zhou Jiayu originally thought that he would dig a big hole, but when he looked at Yan Hongxiu, he found that her wedding dress was empty, and her body disappeared as if following the black mist. .
It would be much more convenient to just bury the clothes. Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong dug a hole and buried all of Yan Hongxiu's clothes in the soil.
Lin Zhushui took out a bag from his bosom, and took out Yan Hongxiu's life token.
At this time, there was no blood on the life card, and it became an ordinary wooden card.
Zhou Jiayu originally thought that he would bury the wooden plaque with Yan Hongxiu, but he didn't expect that he put the wooden plaque in his arms in the end, and said softly: "Sheshan's relative."
Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong didn't quite understand, they stood obediently by the side, waiting for Lin Zhushui's orders.
"Let's go." Lin Zhushui waved his hand, "Going back."
At this time, the sun had already risen in the sky, and the orange sunlight hit the rustling locust trees, as if coated with a layer of golden light.
Zhou Jiayu turned his head and looked behind him, and said, "Sir, the pagoda tree wasn't there yesterday, but it appeared today. The people who live here saw it, so is there any problem?"
Lin Zhushui said: "It doesn't matter, I cast a spell here, and under the influence of the spell, they will feel that this locust tree should be here in the first place."
Zhou Jiayu said, "Wow, there is such a spell."
Lin Zhushui raised his eyebrows: "What?"
Zhou Jiayu said: "No, I think this spell should be very useful for finding a girlfriend."
Lin Zhushui: "..."
Shen Yiqiong patted Zhou Jiayu's shoulder from the side, with a look on his face that you are really getting more and more courageous, and dared to joke with your husband.But seeing Zhou Jiayu's serious expression, Shen Yiqiong realized that he really didn't seem to be joking...
"It's impossible to fall in love while practicing here with Master." Shen Yiqiong later told Zhou Jiayu quietly, "If you want to fall in love, you have to get a teacher. This is the rule set by the master at that time."
Zhou Jiayu said, "What are you telling me?"
Shen Yiqiong twitched: "Don't you want to fall in love?"
Zhou Jiayu was puzzled: "I don't have one."
Shen Yiqiong said: "Hmph, I don't believe it."
Zhou Jiayu felt that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old adolescent was really hard to handle...
After the three of them dealt with the matter, they returned to the hotel and had a good rest for the day.
The next day, Lin Zhushui brought Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong to the bridge again.Zhou Jiayu saw an acquaintance on the Internet, but it was Qin Yihe who had lost his lover.
Qin Yihe was standing at the end of the bridge, as if he was burning paper or something, Zhou Jiayu went over and called her.
"It's you." Qin Yihe's complexion was much better than before, at least her smile was no longer forced, she held some paper money in her hand, and smiled, "I dreamed about her yesterday, she said she missed me, I Just come and see her."
Zhou Jiayu didn't know what to say to comfort her, so he could only say condolences.
"Well, I know." Qin Yihe said, "She didn't want me to be too sad, and even comforted me. I will try my best to adjust my emotions, thank you."
Zhou Jiayu hesitated for a while, and told Qin Yihe what he saw on the bridge, saying that Tang Xiaochuan had broken free from resentment and his soul had been purified.
Qin Yihe nodded and thanked again.
Today is the last day of Huiming's ceremony. Compared with more than ten days ago, his complexion is much haggard. It seems that this ceremony has consumed a lot of his energy.
At the end, Jiang Shiliu and Jiang Jiujiu were both present, and they thanked Huiming repeatedly.
Huiming kept smiling, but even Zhou Jiayu felt that this smile was a little fake. He said softly, "It would be best if the benefactor can avoid such troubles. I hope that there is no chance to make a move."
Jiang Shiliu sighed, "Master taught you the right thing."
Huiming clasped his hands together, saluted, turned and left.
On the car back, Lin Zhushui and Huiming told Huiming about Yanhongxiu. After hearing this, Huiming frowned and said, "Yanhongxiu's surname is very uncommon. When you mention the Xu family in Sheshan, I don't know." Thinking about it, it seems that their relatives do have this surname."
Lin Zhushui didn't speak, he seemed to be thinking about something.
"So many lives are not detrimental to the virtue." Huiming sighed, "This area is all Jiang's territory. If they are not completely ignorant, I don't believe it." Whether it is the fire in the old building or the bridge, It's a big deal, even if you don't know the details, you can definitely hear the news. "
Lin Zhushui said: "Yes, I know."
"Besides, now..." Huiming said righteously, "Your two apprentices are still following you, wouldn't it be unsafe, or let them come to Qingtan Temple to practice with me for a while."
Lin Zhushui scolded: "Dream! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"
Huiming sighed, and looked away from Zhou Jiayu reluctantly.
Zhou Jiayu shuddered, inexplicably, from Huiming's eyes, he thought of the weasel at home, could it be that he also became a walking ice cream in Huiming's eyes?
After everything was done, Lin Zhushui booked a ticket to leave.
The night before leaving, Zhou Jiayu fell asleep early,
In the middle of the night, he was awakened suddenly by a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Zhou Jiayu yawned. He thought that Shen Yiqiong had something to do, so he walked to the door without thinking too much.But fortunately, the habit he has developed over the years made him do the first thing to look at the cat's eyes, which almost scared him away.
I saw a paper man standing outside the door, the paper man was the same size as a normal person, wearing a colorful shirt, with bright red lips grinning at him.
Zhou Jiayu began to thank Lin Zhushui in his heart for exercising his and Shen Yiqiong's courage. To be honest, if this had happened before, he doubted that he would have been frightened and passed away.
"Open the door." A faint voice came from outside the door.
Zhou Jiayu thought to himself, why should I open the door for you when I closed it with my mother's ability? He rushed back to the bed, wanting to tell Lin Zhushui about it, but then remembered that he didn't have a cell phone.
What to do, what to do, what to do, Zhou Jiayu touched the goose bumps on his arm and gritted his teeth.
There was a rustling sound coming from the door, Zhou Jiayu glanced at the door, and began to curse crazily in his heart.The paper figurine actually started trying to squeeze in through the crack of the door, seeing that half of its head had already penetrated.
Zhou Jiayu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, his eyes looked around the room, and then he suddenly noticed something on the table - a lighter.
He picked up the lighter, went to the door, and said to the paper man with a sneer, "It's useless to look so scary, you're not made of fucking paper."
The paper figurine's smile froze.
Zhou Jiayu bent over to light the fire, all in one go.
The paper figurine really ignited, and it shrank back screaming, Zhou Jiayu scolded in the room: "It's time to improve, what kind of paper do you use, you have the ability to use steel plates, you bastard!"
There was no movement outside, Zhou Jiayu looked out through the cat's eyes again, but saw nothing.
But even so, he was a little afraid to fall asleep, afraid that after he fell asleep, the paper man would squeeze in from some corner.The only thing Zhou Jiayu is lucky about now is that this paper figurine's IQ doesn't seem to be high, and he knocked on the door first. Otherwise, when he wakes up and opens his eyes, he will see this thing standing beside the bed. Scared to death.
The next day, Zhou Jiayu went out and went downstairs as soon as it was dawn, and stayed in a crowded place.
Shen Yiqiong was surprised when he saw it, and said, "Guan'er, why did you get up so early today?" Usually he was the one to wake up Zhou Jiayu, but when he got up today, he found that Zhou Jiayu had already finished his breakfast. Sit and rest on the first floor.
"I met that paper figurine again last night." Zhou Jiayu recounted what happened last night with a gloomy face.
Shen Yiqiong was dumbfounded when he heard that, and said, "Damn it, did you really light it with a lighter?"
Zhou Jiayu said, "That's right!"
Shen Yiqiong said: "...but ordinary paper dolls are not the same."
Zhou Jiayu: "...What??"
Shen Yiqiong rubbed his head: "Paper figurines are very dark things, and ordinary lighters definitely won't light them."
Zhou Jiayu fell into silence. He also felt that what happened last night was a bit weird, so he went back to the room with Shen Yiqiong to check.In the end, Zhou Jiayu still saw traces of the flames on the floor, and he said, "Look, isn't this burnt?"
Shen Yiqiong said: "... I don't understand, let's ask Mr.
Zhou Jiayu said it was good.
Lin Zhushui was eating breakfast on the first floor, not so much for breakfast, but actually just drank some milk. When he saw Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong coming over in a hurry, the first thing he said was: "Last night What happened?"
"Sir, do you already know?" Zhou Jiayu asked in surprise.
Lin Zhushui said: "Yes."
Zhou Jiayu immediately remembered something: "Then, that lighter, you put it in my room too?" Thinking about it now, the location and color of that lighter are very conspicuous, and he hadn't noticed anything in the room before.
"Yes." Lin Zhushui took another sip of milk slowly, and said, "I suggest you take your lighter with you."
Zhou Jiayu was dumbfounded: "Huh?"
Lin Zhushui said: "The Xu family of Sheshan is a little special."
Zhou Jiayu said, "Special?"
Lin Zhushui took out a small paper figurine from his pocket, put the paper figurine on the table, and stood up tremblingly after a while: "Their family is proficient in burials, yes Paper figurines have special research."
Especially in ancient feudal times, dignitaries and dignitaries had extremely high requirements for burials.Usually there are traps everywhere in the tomb, and only the maker knows the access.
People from the Xu family never use living people for burial, they always use paper dolls as agents. The paper dolls have the most basic mind and can obey some simple orders.
Seeing the trembling appearance of the little paper figurine, Zhou Jiayu stretched out his hand and carefully poked it: "It's...really moving. Sir, are you manipulating the paper figurine again?"
Lin Zhushui said lightly: "Well, but I don't know much about this business, so I can barely make it move."
Zhou Jiayu thought this was enough...
"Go back first." Lin Zhushui said, "accompany me to Sheshan in a while."
Of course Zhou Jiayu agreed, but when he said this, he reached into his pocket and touched the lighter, feeling much safer.
Knowing that Lin Zhushui and the others were leaving, Jiang Shijiu and Jiang Shiliu both came to see him off.
Jiang Jiujiu was haggard again, his whole body was so emaciated that he didn't look good. When he was seeing him off, he had a very difficult smile on his face, looking very forced.Jiang Shiliu didn't even put a smile on his face. When he arrived at the airport, he found Lin Zhushui, and without saying a word, he suddenly rolled up his sleeves.
Zhou Jiayu was taken aback by Jiang Shiliu's actions, but soon showed surprise.
I saw that Jiang Shiliu's arm was covered with dense red lines. Those red lines seemed to be cut and healed by some sharp weapon, almost covering Jiang Shiliu's entire arm.
"Mr. Lin." Jiang Shiliu said with difficulty, "There are some things in the Jiang family that I can't control."
Lin Zhushui was silent.
Jiang Shiliu said: "I almost lost my hand. I have been recuperating for almost half a year. During this half year, I didn't have the energy to take care of the Jiang family's affairs. That's why Jiang Shijiu made such a big mistake."
Lin Zhushui said: "If you don't have diamonds, why do you need to do that porcelain job?"
Jiang Shiliu smiled wryly: "People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes."
Lin Zhushui said: "Since we are in the Jianghu, we should follow the rules of the Jianghu."
Jiang Shiliu sighed heavily and stopped talking.
From getting on the plane to arriving home, Lin Zhushui didn't say much. He seemed to be in a bad mood, and the expression on his face was also very pale.
After arriving home, Shen Yiqiong told Zhou Jiayu that if people's lives were on their hands in their business, it would be easy to lose their morals. Looking at Jiang Shijiu's appearance, something must have happened to him.That's why Jiang Shiliu came out to test, wanting Lin Zhushui to help.
But Lin Zhushui's sentence "follow the rules of the rivers and lakes" expresses the meaning of refusal.
"After all, there are sixty lives." Shen Yiqiong said, "And the mistakes he made were too low-level. He didn't show up when the bridge is so important. It's too inappropriate."
Zhou Jiayu sighed as he thought of the dead Tang Xiaochuan.
After arriving home, Shen Musi was not at home, he didn't know where he had gone, there was only one weasel sitting on the sofa, eating snacks and watching TV, seeing its smooth fur, it seemed that the little life was quite nourishing.
Seeing Zhou Jiayu's return, the weasel rushed over happily, smelling left and right, as if to confirm what smell Zhou Jiayu had on him.
Zhou Jiayu picked it up, stroked its smooth fur, and said, "Did you miss me, Xiao Huang?"
Weasel: "????" When did it call Xiaohuang?
Shen Yiqiong said: "Oh, I'm so tired. What are we going to have for dinner? Otherwise, let's talk to my husband and go out for a night together..." He originally wanted to talk about supper, but he remembered something, and said "Supper" abruptly. "The word was swallowed.
Zhou Jiayu said: "Forget it, it's safer to eat at home. I'll go and see what's in the refrigerator."
Shen Yiqiong said yes.
Zhou Jiayu took the kitchen, inspected it roughly, and said, "Let's eat hot pot. There are quite a few dishes. I'll make a soup base. It's only past four o'clock, so I can make it in time."
Shen Yiqiong said yes, yes.
In the evening, several people ate Zhou Jiayu's hot pot with pickled peppers. The soup was bone broth. After boiling, pickled peppers and various spices were added. It was delicious.
Lin Zhushui also came over and sat next to Zhou Jiayu.
Weasels, like scarves, surrounded Zhou Jiayu, drooling over the hot pot.
Zhou Jiayu took a bite of the food, and suddenly felt that this kind of life is also very good. Although he will encounter all kinds of strange things, at least he will always have someone by his side, so he won't be alone all the time.
The author has something to say: Zhou Jiayu used a notebook to write down the things that must be brought: lighter, prayer beads, pendant, talisman paper...
Lin Zhushui used a notebook to write down what he had to bring: the little stupid fish at home.
