Yingyang Bookstore, No. 48

After several consecutive days of rain, the sweltering weather in Beijing finally eased a bit. Tai Yi hurried out to play while it was cool, and Xing Yang naturally stayed close to him.

Seeing that Tai Yi had had enough fun, Xing Yang booked a bus ticket to go home, and handed over the picture scroll to old man Xing.

As soon as the old man Xing was mentioned, Tai Yi asked him: "What is your relationship with Uncle Xing? Is he your grandfather?"

Xing Yang's face twitched: "Fuck! I'm older than him!"

Tai Yi's eyes widened: "Really? How old are you?!"

Xing Yang gave him a white look: "Guess."

When he came back, Uncle Xing waited for them at the door, smoking a pipe, took the scroll and weighed it for a few times before going to the basement, Tai Yi wanted to follow him to see Xing Yang, and stopped him.

"Old man Xing can't be messed with at this time."

Tai Yi nodded, and asked him again: "You are older than him, why do you still call him Old Man Xing?"

Xing Yang: "I am willing."

Tai Yi didn't know how long it would take before he went home. When he went upstairs, Tai Yi took a special sniff to see if there was any smell.

Tai's father asked him: "How is it? Is there enough money? You took all the red envelopes I sent you."

Tai Yi said: "I didn't spend much money, and many places have discounts when I get the admission ticket."

Tai Yi took out a small bag from his schoolbag and handed it to Dad Tai, saying, "I bought a tie for you, I think it looks pretty, you can try it."

Tai's father was a little shy and a little excited to take it.

Tai Yi smiled slightly, and Xiao Han stood next to Tai's father to have fun.

Xiaohan said, "Your dad is too cute."

Tai Yi pouted.

Only after Tai Yi closed the door did he dare to speak: "I'm going to go crazy when I go to Beijing, that's what I dreamed about before, she went to Beijing to play with me."

Xiaohan frowned and hesitated for a while and said, "I have something to tell you about her."

After Tai Yi went to Beijing, Xiaohan still came here every day, because the smell made her feel uneasy. After searching for a few times, Xiaohan confirmed that the stench came from a servant room. Weak wailing and door scratching.

The door of the lower room was locked, so Xiaohan dared not force her way in easily, but she was sure that the person inside was indeed dead. The smell she smelled was that of a ghost who died tragically, while ordinary people can only smell corpses The smell of corpses after rotting.

After a few days, nearby residents also smelled the smell, called the police and opened the door only to find that the people inside were already rotten.

The moisture in the whole body is gone, the flesh is sunken inward, the eyes are protruding and the face is frightened.

Xiaohan said in a low voice: "The most important thing is that during the time since you left, five such corpses were found in the city, all of them in the servants' houses of this old community."

Tai Yi said: "That stench is the smell of the brothel ghost I met."

Xiaohan suddenly thought of something: "The brothel ghost? You said the brothel is the brothel?"

Seeing Tai Yi nodding, Xiaohan said: "Then I know, those people obviously look like their essence has been sucked dry! Did that ghost catch it? The essence of five young men can do a lot of evil."

Tai Yi said: "It's okay, Xing Yang took it away."

Xiaohan felt relieved, she knew exactly what Xing Yang was capable of.

"To be honest, I think this smell is very familiar, but I have forgotten too much and I really can't remember it." Ever since Tai Yi knew Xiaohan, he knew that Xiaohan had been looking for his own memory, and Xiaohan couldn't remember it. Thinking about why she didn't go to reincarnation and stayed in the human world, she just felt that she still had something to do and should stay, but... what exactly is it...

Tai Yi's intuition told him that Sister Xiaohan had something to do with Yingying, and he should ask Yingying.

Xing Yang has been waiting in the study for the old man Xing to come up. After waiting for several hours, there is no movement. Xing Yang stomps on the door of the basement impatiently.

"Are you alright?" Xing Yang asked.

After waiting for a few seconds, old man Xing opened the door, lit a cigarette and said, "Come in."

Aunt Ping closed the store door and put up a sign saying "going out on business", and went to the basement with Xing Yang.

Yingying was trapped in the formation, she lowered her head and said nothing, but once she struggled a little and touched the wall, her body would be burned.

Xing Yang pulled up a stool and sat in front of Yingying, while Uncle Xing and Aunt Ping stood behind him.

Xing Yang said: "You can answer whatever I ask."

Yingying did not respond.

"Who told you about your method of absorbing other people's essence?"

"A Taoist priest."

"What's your name? How did you meet?"

"Zhao Chenghai, he came to the door himself and said he could help me."

Xing Yang squinted his eyes slightly when he heard the name, and got hooked up, all these things got hooked up.

"Do you believe what he says?"

Yingying raised her head and smiled brightly: "Otherwise? If you don't know anything about hatred, and someone suddenly tells you what to do, you won't try it?"

After Yingying said this sentence, the corners of her mouth raised to reveal a disdainful expression.

"Oh, by the way, I'm not as patient as you. I can talk to my enemy with a smile when I see him alive."

Xing Yang's face darkened and a pressure came towards Yingying, Aunt Ping reached out and pressed Xing Yang's shoulder before Xing Yang stopped him.

Ying Ying knelt on the ground and breathed heavily, looking at Xing Yang with fear and disdain.

Xing Yang continued to ask her: "Why do you still harm Tai Yi when you beg him to do something? Also...the one who died was someone else's child, why are you joining in the fun?"

Yingying said: "You won't understand, I've finished what I want to say, and I'll talk about the rest when I'm in a better mood."

Looking at Xing Yang with a fierce look on his face again, Ying Ying raised his eyebrows to look at him: "Do you dare to kill me? With Tai Yi here, do you dare?"

The author has something to say:

The part about buying a tie is out of emotion. I bought a vest for my dad. My dad hid the vest and was reluctant to wear it.
