I miss you

Chapter 69 Ghost Map

Lin Jue quickly found out the information about the carton full of fingernails that was sent to them.The express delivery came from a remote town in the southwest, and after three days of delivery, it was finally picked up by Shen Yiqiong.The sender on the package was empty, and there was only one landline phone number. Lin Jue actually got through when he called, but no one answered.

If it was an ordinary package, Lin Jue would probably just throw it away, but she always felt that it was not that easy to finish, so she asked the guard to pay more attention to the phone number and address.

At this time, most of the most unbearable summer has passed, and the hot breath began to subside slowly. Shen Yiqiong's birthday is in the second half of the year, and it is said that his family has prepared a grand coming-of-age ceremony.

Several other people were also preparing birthday presents for Shen Yiqiong. After much deliberation, Zhou Jiayu couldn't think of anything to give Shen Yiqiong. In the end, Lin Zhushui gave him an idea: "The paper you folded Aren’t the cranes ready to fly? Just stack a few and give them to him.”

"Can I just give paper cranes?" Zhou Jiayu hesitated.

"En." Lin Zhushui said, "That's not an ordinary paper crane. It can save lives at a critical moment. With your current strength, it's probably not bad if you can stack one in half a month." He said, and took it out of the drawer. Out of a box, "it will be faster with this kind of paper."

Zhou Jiayu took it and thanked Lin Zhushui.

In mid-August, Shen Yiqiong disappeared for a few days, it is said that he went home to order clothes.

Zhou Jiayu asked where Shen Yiqiong's home was, and Shen Yiqiong mentioned a city. Zhou Jiayu said, "Then your home is quite far from here."

Shen Yiqiong said: "Yes, it's quite far away, but I will send a special plane over on my birthday to pick you up directly, so don't worry about it."

Zhou Jiayu said, "Sir, are you going too?"

Shen Yiqiong scratched his head: "I asked Mr., and Mr. said to go." The weather was actually a bit hot at the end of August, but this time it was Shen Yiqiong's coming-of-age ceremony, and Lin Zhushui probably made an exception.

Zhou Jiayu snorted.

After all, he is the most favored kid in the family, and Shen Yiqiong received many gifts on his birthday.Zhou Jiayu also handed Shen Yiqiong a box of thousand paper cranes.The outside of the box was transparent, and Shen Yiqiong was taken aback when he saw the paper crane inside: "Can'er, you, are you treating me..."

Zhou Jiayu: "...you open it first and don't think too much about it."

Shen Yiqiong swallowed, and stretched out his hand to open the box. As soon as the box was opened, seven or eight paper cranes inside spread their wings and flew around Shen Yiqiong.He excitedly said, "Jar, did you stack this?"

Zhou Jiayu nodded.

"I have also learned from my husband, but I can't learn this." Shen Yiqiong scratched his head, he is good at Feng Shui, but he has no talent in metaphysics, and things like drawing symbols to catch ghosts can only barely get started , so every time Zhou Jiayu and Zhou Jiayu encounter dirty things, they can only run away with Zhou Jiayu.

"For you." Zhou Jiayu smiled with his eyes bent, "Master said that this paper crane can keep you safe if you carry it with you."

Shen Yiqiong thanked him happily, it seemed that he really liked the gift.

Soon, Shen Yiqiong's birthday came, and he returned home a few days early, while Zhou Jiayu, Lin Jue and the others flew there by special plane two days ago.

"There seems to be an auction at their house tonight." Lin Jue was eating melon seeds on the plane, "I'll take you there to see what's new."

Zhou Jiayu participated in the auction for the first time, and asked curiously, "What do you usually auction?"

"There are a lot of auction items." Lin Jue said, "Jade jewelry, talisman paper paintings, I heard that there is a finale item tonight that came out of your husband's hands."

When Zhou Jiayu heard this, he glanced at Lin Zhushui who was sitting next to him.

Lin Zhushui's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't hear Lin Jue's words.

After getting off the plane, Shen Yiqiong sent someone to pick them up directly.In fact, before seeing Shen Yiqiong's house, Zhou Jiayu had no clear understanding of Shen Yiqiong's family situation. It wasn't until he saw the magnificent building in front of him and the luxury cars parked around him that he really felt that Shen Yiqiong A poor is indeed not a small rich family.

"Mr. Lin, this way please." The person who received them was Shen Yiqiong's elder brother, whose surname was not Shen, but Wang, and his full name was Wang Feixu. He said, "I have prepared a box for you. Have a good rest, the dinner and auction are at eight o'clock."

Lin Jue nodded slightly: "You're welcome."

"That's not being polite." Wang Feixu smiled, "If the hospitality is not good, my father will definitely blame me. Besides, on my younger brother's birthday, Mr. Lin, Miss Lin and everyone are willing to come here, which is already giving our Wang family great face. .”

Everything in the private room was complete, Zhou Jiayu was a little hungry, so he sat on the sofa and ate an apple.

"Can'er, when the dinner starts, be casual, and follow Chaosan if you don't want to deal with people." Lin Jue was afraid that Zhou Jiayu was inexperienced, so he told him carefully, "No one usually bothers him."

Zhou Jiayu nodded. In fact, he was a little curious. Lin Jue had a good temper, so why would anyone dare to bother Lin Zhushui?

As a result, after the dinner began, Zhou Jiayu had a deep understanding of the troublesome word Lin Jue said.

With Lin Zhushui's current status, most people wouldn't dare to approach him, but Shen Yiqiong is the most beloved youngest son of the Wang family. Naturally, at the coming-of-age ceremony, various giants in the feng shui world will be entertained, so Zhou Jiayu watched helplessly. An old man in his 80s and [-]s surrounded Lin Zhushui.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Zhushui would still have a cold attitude and ignore it. However, the people around him at this time are all elderly elders. Although his expression has not changed, he still has to deal with it a little bit. .

Lin Jue was no exception, the people around her were no less than those around Lin Zhushui.Zhou Jiayu looked around, and found that he and Shen Chaosan were the ones who had the most leisure time. No one knew him. Shen Chaosan looked mighty and didn't like to talk. Sitting there silently, his whole body exuded an aura that strangers should not enter.

Zhou Jiayu moved closer to him and started eating.

Although the people who came here didn't come here for the food, there was nothing to choose from in the banquet food, everything was exquisite and delicious, Zhou Jiayu was satisfied.

Shen Chaosan glanced at him, didn't say anything, and continued to keep silent, the place between the two of them was quite quiet.

After a while, the birthday star Shen Yiqiong also came down from upstairs, and there was a small noise from the crowd, and Zhou Jiayu could hear them vaguely talking about Shen Yiqiong.

Some people whispered that this is the youngest of the Wang family, the most favored one, who is now following Lin Zhushui.Some people also said that this child should have good talent, otherwise how could he have caught the attention of the Lin family.

Shen Yiqiong was wearing a light gray suit, and his face was still a little immature, but it was a little less casual than when he was with Zhou Jiayu, and there was a very formal smile on the corner of his mouth.It can be seen that he is very used to this kind of occasion.

"Are you full?" Shen Chaosan asked suddenly.

Zhou Jiayu said, "Ah? No..."

Shen Chaosan suddenly smiled, and said, "You really came here to eat."

Zhou Jiayu said, "What else?" He didn't know anyone.

"Then you can eat for a while, and accompany me to the balcony to smoke a cigarette." Shen Chaosan was a little bored.

Zhou Jiayu said, "Are you ignoring them?" Although Shen Chaosan looked ferocious, there were still people who tried to talk to them, but most of them were stared back by him.There was a girl who was more courageous, so she had a few words with Shen Chaosan, but was dismissed by Shen Chaosan saying that I wanted to eat... No wonder Lin Jue wanted him to follow Shen Chaosan.

Zhou Jiayu ate another piece of steak before going to the balcony with Shen Chaosan. Shen Chaosan handed him a cigarette, and the two of them smoked in tacit understanding without speaking.

The smell of this smoke is very mellow, Zhou Jiayu looked at the brand, and realized that he had never seen it before, so he asked casually.

"Small sign." Shen Chaosan said, "I made it for fun."

Zhou Jiayu: "..." Well, Lin Zhushui's apprentices are really crouching tigers, hidden dragons.

"Why does that person keep looking at you?" Shen Chaosan said suddenly.

"Who?" Zhou Jiayu didn't understand what Shen Chaosan meant.

"Nun." Shen Chaosan raised his chin towards the bottom of the balcony.

Below the balcony is a huge blue swimming pool, with all kinds of beautiful green plants planted beside it, and people are mostly talking while sitting or standing.

Zhou Jiayu looked in the direction of Shen Chao's three fingers, but noticed a man in a white suit looking in his direction.The man looked very handsome, and there was a woman in a red dress standing beside him. The two seemed to be in a relationship, and their expressions were very intimate when they were talking.But the man took the time to look in Zhou Jiayu's direction for several times.

"Know?" Shen Chaosan asked.

Zhou Jiayu shook his head reflexively, but after shaking his head, he remembered something. He really didn't know this person, but the original owner of the body might. After all, the memory passed down to him by Ji Ba was not complete.

"I don't remember clearly, maybe I've seen it before." Zhou Jiayu looked away.

Shen Chaosan hummed, and said: "Speak up if you have something to say." He was always not good at words, and after a while of silence, he added, "You are a nice person, everyone likes you."

Zhou Jiayu was a little moved when he heard it.

Although Shen Chaosan has always disliked socializing, some acquaintances still came to the door. After smoking half of a cigarette, he was dragged in abruptly by a young man who seemed to be Shen Chaosan's friend. Reluctantly, she told Zhou Jiayu to come here before eight o'clock, not to drink too much, and to come to him directly if there was anything she couldn't solve.

Zhou Jiayu waved at him and saw that Shen Chaosan was also buried by the flow of people.

Now he was the only one left alone, Zhou Jiayu propped his chin and was thinking about whether he should go in and eat something, but he noticed that the people around him were looking at him, and some people began to try to come closer.

Without Shen Chaosan, the Buddha standing in front of him, Zhou Jiayu already had a friendly appearance, and even had the name of Lin Zhushui's apprentice, so it's no wonder that the people around were eager to move.

After Zhou Jiayu found out about this situation, he immediately stood up and planned to change places. Who knew that he was stopped by someone just two steps away. The one who stopped him was a young girl who looked quite cute. She said: "Your name is Zhou Jiayu, right? I've heard of you, you are Mr. Lin's closed disciple?"

Zhou Jiayu said: "Um... sorry, I want to go to the bathroom."

The girl opened her mouth. After all, she was not thick-skinned enough to say "I'll accompany you", so she could only turn around and leave resentfully.

Zhou Jiayu breathed a sigh of relief, and trotted all the way to the toilet, and then decided not to go to the second floor after going out, but to find a corner to squat on the first floor.

Zhou Jiayu was thinking about something, but there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and then he put his hands on his shoulders, and the man said, "Zhou Jiayu, why are you here!"

Zhou Jiayu was taken aback by this man, turned around and found that it was the man in the white suit on the first floor who had been arguing over here.He looked at Zhou Jiayu's expression and frowned, looking a little disgusted: "Didn't everyone in the Tao say that you were dead?"

Zhou Jiayu: "..." I really met a former colleague.

"I thought you were dead too." The man sized Zhou Jiayu up and down, his eyes rather unkind, "But it seems you're doing well."

Zhou Jiayu licked his lips and said softly, "Sorry, you seem to have mistaken someone."

The man said: "Wrong person? Even if you turn into ashes, I will not admit my mistake."

Zhou Jiayu looked at him expressionlessly.

The man was looked at by Zhou Jiayu, but he smiled: "Don't look at me like that, am I wrong? Who are you following now?"

Zhou Jiayu didn't say a word, turned around and was about to go out, but the man grabbed his arm, and the man said, "Hey, are you so disrespectful?"

Zhou Jiayu turned around: "Let go, what do you want?"

The man said: "What do you want to do? There are good resources to share with you." He smiled, and the smile was not ugly, but it was a pity that the evil look in his eyes was very funny, "I made a girlfriend, you Do you know what her last name is?"

Zhou Jiayu said, "I don't care what her last name is."

The man said: "Hey, you are really hopeless, let me tell you, her surname is Lin!"

Zhou Jiayu: "..." He suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Since you can sneak into this circle, you must have heard of the name Lin Zhushui, right?" The man said triumphantly, "My girlfriend is his niece! She is also from the Lin family!"

Zhou Jiayu suddenly didn't know what to say, he only remembered that Lin Zhushui had many nephews and nieces...

"What about you? Who did you come in with?" The man asked again, "I just saw you smoking with a man on the balcony. Could it be..." He laughed, "You found a boyfriend?"

Zhou Jiayu thought to himself that I wanted to find a boyfriend, but it was a pity that he didn't want me. He was a little annoyed and didn't want to continue entanglement with this person, so he said, "It's none of your business who I came in with? Also, I Let me tell you, you'd better not think about that girl, or you should be more careful."

The man didn't expect that Zhou Jiayu would dare to threaten him confidently, and immediately became angry: "You still dare to threaten me, if the things you did before are found out—"

"What I did in the past was afraid of being known, but what you did in the past was not afraid of being known?" Zhou Jiayu retorted with a sneer, this man really thought he was made of mud and had no temper, "If you If you dare to do anything, I promise you will regret it.”

The man was taken aback by Zhou Jiayu's words, and his confidence lost three points, but he was still stubborn: "You...do you really think that they will believe you if you tear it apart?"

"Then you can try it." Zhou Jiayu washed his hands, pulled out a tissue and wiped them casually, squinting over, "Why don't we come to a dead end?"

The man fell silent.

Zhou Jiayu sneered and turned around to leave.

Ji Ba popped up and praised: "Wow, Guan'er, you have such a big temper, I thought you would be bullied."

Zhou Jiayu sighed, and said, "I have nothing to do with the dirty things. People like this also want to bully me." He remembered the scene of the man with that niece before, and decided to leave this matter to him. Lin Jue said so that the little girl would not be really deceived.But having said that, this person dared to lie to Lin Zhushui's side, and he was very courageous and skilled, which made him inexplicably think of that Zhou Jiayu back then...

As soon as eight o'clock arrived, the climax of the birthday party came. Shen Yiqiong came to the stage to say polite words and poured a tower of champagne.Then Shen Yiqiong's father also said something, among which he specially thanked Lin Zhushui, and his earnest attitude towards Lin Zhushui was beyond words.

"Can'er." Lin Jue touched Zhou Jiayu's side at some point, "Are you still used to it?"

Zhou Jiayu said honestly: "I'm not used to it, there are too many people." He didn't like such occasions very much.

"If you don't like it, you won't come next time." Lin Jue said with a smile, "Anyway, Yiqiong is also the last adult. When is your birthday?"

Zhou Jiayu said casually: "It's already passed, it looks like May."

Lin Jue said, "What's the date in May?"

Zhou Jiayu said: "Twelve..." After he finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to have mispronounced the date of his birthday. The original owner's birthday seemed to be in summer, but fortunately, Lin Jue didn't have any abnormalities on his face, so he let out an oh.

Zhou Jiayu breathed a sigh of relief.

The lights dimmed, and the huge six-layer cake was pushed to the center of the living room, with candles marked eighteen on it, and the guests sang happy birthday to you, and then Shen Yiqiong blew out the candles, made a wish, and Start dividing the cake.

Zhou Jiayu also got a piece, and it was Lin Jue who went to get it for him. Zhou Jiayu asked Lin Jue, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Lin Jue shook his head: "The heat is too high."

Zhou Jiayu took a sip and rolled his eyes: "It's delicious."

Lin Jue looked at him with a smile, as if looking at an interesting child.

After the cake, the main event was the auction. There were not so many participants in this auction. Only a small number of people received the invitation letter, so Lin Zhushui would naturally not be left behind.

The second floor is the auction room that has been set up. When Zhou Jiayu followed Lin Jue upstairs, Lin Zhushui was already seated.Zhou Jiayu sat next to Lin Zhushui, and found that there was a glass of half-drunk champagne on Lin Zhushui's right hand, and he also drank...

Seeming to have noticed Zhou Jiayu's gaze, Lin Jue laughed beside him and said, "Your husband is not a god, what's wrong with drinking? He still smokes."

Zhou Jiayu was startled: "Mister still smokes?"

"Yes." Lin Zhushui agreed calmly.

"I just said, he's not so unreal." Lin Jue said, "Hey, what they shot today is quite interesting."

Only then did Zhou Jiayu look forward, and found that a row of small red letters appeared on the screen on the right at some point, saying today's auction items.Zhou Jiayu focused all his attention on the last auction item, which was a painting by Lin Zhushui called Ten Ghosts at Night Banquet.

Zhou Jiayu said: "The name of this painting is so strange."

Lin Jue smiled and said, "If you look at the painting, you will find it even more strange."

The two were chatting, and the birthday star Shen Yiqiong also came over. He was dressed very exquisitely today, and he looked very different from Zhou Jiayu squatting at the door with noodles in his usual underpants. Next to the fish, he muttered and complained that he was going to starve to death.

Zhou Jiayu handed him the fruit plate on the table, and he started to eat it while holding it.

"There are a lot of good things today." Shen Yiqiong said, "Look, let me know if you like something."

Zhou Jiayu was about to admire Shen Yiqiong's arrogance when he heard the brat say, "I'll let you take a closer look."

Zhou Jiayu: "..." You might be beaten again.

The lights were adjusted to a mild yellowish color, and the host held a small wooden hammer and announced the start of the auction.

At first, the auctions were all jade, porcelain and jewelry. Zhou Jiayu was not very interested until a beautiful glazed lamp was carefully placed on the auction table.

The host clearly wanted to introduce the purpose and origin of the previous item, but the host's words were extremely concise: "Glass lamp, starting price is 5000 million."

This glazed lamp is very beautiful, it is in the shape of a lotus flower, the petals and stamens are fully visible, the lamp shows a light blue color, and the base is a pattern of flowing water, shaking it, it looks like a blue lotus flower floating in the sky. Over the shallow water waves.

"This lamp matches Jiayu very well." Lin Jue said with a smile.

What is the purpose of this light?Is it just decoration?Zhou Jiayu thought about it, seeing that no one in the room raised their cards, they seemed to be hesitating.

"Yiqiong." Lin Zhushui who was sitting next to him opened his mouth softly, "You help me take pictures."

Shen Yiqiong was being his melon-eating crowd, and he was not surprised to hear Lin Zhushui's words: "Okay." He was also quite clever, and he only held up the sign when the auction was about to fail, and said something cheerfully : "This lamp is very beautiful, it's a pity to lose it."

So this lamp was actually photographed by Shen Yiqiong at a low price, although the low price was not low.

"It's taken." Shen Yiqiong smiled and said, "The task has been successfully completed."

"That's right." Lin Jue sighed, "The most unsuitable place for your husband to come to in this life is the auction."

Zhou Jiayu showed curiosity, and his doubts were answered in the next exhibit.

The next exhibit was a small jade bracelet. Lin Zhushui raised a sign casually, and the people around made a fuss, and then the price of the bracelet exploded. He seemed to start raising signs.

"Look." Lin Jue spread his hands, "Last time, your husband wanted to buy a piece of jade for convenience and didn't bother others, but the price of the fried jade just doubled."

Zhou Jiayu couldn't laugh or cry.

However, Lin Zhushui seemed to be used to it. He took a sip from his teacup and let the people around him bid wildly, as if the person who caused the commotion was not himself at all.

In the end, this jade bracelet was photographed at a price of more than 8000 million yuan, which made Zhou Jiayu gasp.Lin Jue said: "This bracelet tops out at 2000 million... Whoever buys it will be mentally handicapped." It's a pity that there are quite a lot of mentally handicapped people present.

The auction items were bought one by one, and soon came the grand finale - Lin Zhushui's Ten Ghost Night Banquet Picture.

The painting was brought up on a roll, but before it was opened, Zhou Jiayu felt a distinctive aura on it.

The scroll unfolded slowly, and Zhou Jiayu could see clearly what was in the painting.Those are ten fierce ghosts with teeth and claws, sitting on the mountain to toast and drink together. The overall color of the scroll is dark, but the appearance of the ghosts in the painting is vivid, as if they will jump out of the painting in the next moment.But this was not what surprised Zhou Jiayu the most. What surprised him the most was that the background of the scroll seemed to be alive. The clouds were floating, the stars were twinkling, and the leaves on the treetops seemed to follow the breeze Flicking, but if you look carefully, you will find that the movement just now is just your own illusion...

The audience fell silent, everyone's eyes were on the picture scroll and they couldn't take it away for a moment. Zhou Jiayu was also dumbfounded. He even had the illusion that he was about to be sucked in. In the end, Lin Jue took pictures of him. A slap woke him up.

Lin Jue smiled but said, "Although this painting is beautiful, don't be fooled by it."

Zhou Jiayu just woke up like a dream.
