Dazed

Time passed bit by bit, and the heavy snow outside was still falling unabated. It seemed that the sound of rustling snow could be heard inside the house. Maybe what Cao Jingxing said was true. Qi Zheng really slept in the afternoon, and now he is Staring at the pitch-black roof boredly, his head was so refreshed that he didn't feel sleepy at all.

"Qi Zheng?"

"Ok?"

There seemed to be a hint of a smile hidden in Cao Jingxing's words, and he said softly, "I haven't slept yet."

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Qi Zheng was speechless.

"I just want to call you by your name when I'm free." Cao Jingxing said with emotion.

When Qi Zheng heard this, goosebumps almost popped out, "Are you okay?"

"Okay, where is the construction site you were looking for during the winter vacation?"

Qi Zheng didn't want Cao Jingxing to know so much, if he found it too, it would be no trouble, so he lied, "It's on the construction site in the northern part of the city."

Cao Jingxing understood, and then lazily said: "People like you can only pour cement for others."

Qi Zheng didn't think there was anything shameful about this job, and said: "When you pour cement, you pour cement, as long as you make money."

"Don't you think it's embarrassing to say it?"

Qi Zheng didn't care, and said: "The face is given by me, what has it to do with work, I don't see that you will discriminate against migrant workers."

"How could I discriminate against you and make you laugh."

Qi Zheng yawned and didn't answer.

"Are you sleepy? Would you like me to tell a story?" Cao Jingxing teased.

Qi Zheng didn't know how his inexplicable interest came about, so he replied casually: "If it's not a ghost story, don't tell it."

"Do you dare to listen?"

"..."

Qi Zheng didn't reply, and Cao Jingxing didn't open his mouth either. After a while, Qi Zheng weighed it up and said, "If you like to talk, don't talk about it."

Cao Jingxing smiled and said nothing, just about to say something, but suddenly stopped, his expression sank, there was a trace of injustice in the air, that strong stern air definitely came from the ground, But what it is, even he doesn't know.

Qi Zheng also seemed to feel something was wrong, looked at Cao Jingxing whose eyes suddenly became sharp in surprise, and sat up.

Cao Jingxing bent his lips and gave him a soothing look, then lifted the quilt, stood up, picked up the flashlight on the table, and walked vigilantly towards the northeast corner of the room, where there was the dining area, and There is a large solid wood dining table in the undivided part of the living room, and a large transparent floor-to-ceiling window next to it.

Qi Zheng's eyelids twitched, and he chose to follow. He didn't find anything wrong, but Cao Jingxing's expression seemed not to be optimistic.

The snowflakes outside were still falling, and it was pitch black in a small corner, only where the flashlight passed by could see something, but everything was normal, just like the daytime, Qi Zheng couldn't see anything strange.

"What's wrong?" Qi Zheng asked.

"It's okay, I seemed to see something passing by just now." Cao Jingxing narrowed his eyes, and was also a little puzzled.

"What can you see? There won't be any mice in this house."

Cao Jingxing smiled and said, "How is that possible."

After questioning and answering, the two walked past the dining table beside them, passed through the dining area, and walked towards the kitchen. Just a few steps away from the kitchen door in the play, Cao Jingxing suddenly turned sideways and stopped Qi Zheng beside him. Behind him, the white light from the flashlight flashed by, Qi Zheng didn't react, he only saw a fast-moving animal following the light, the fast-moving person didn't react, and in an instant, he was covered. In the dark.

The two people at the door were immersed in astonishment and did not recover. At this moment, there were some noises from the kitchen again. Cao Jingxing's eyes froze, his body raised a guard, and he looked towards the kitchen vigilantly.

After a while, a white-haired, cold figure appeared at the door. As soon as his eyes touched Cao Jingxing, his heart couldn't help shaking. This person couldn't tell the truth.

Seeing the thin figure in front of him, Cao Jingxing asked coldly, "Who are you?"

Tao Qinghui finally managed to catch up with a white raccoon that he hadn't seen in a hundred years in the freezing weather. At this time, he didn't have time to explain so much to him, so he hurriedly said, "Excuse me for passing this place." He wanted to leave.

Qi Zheng, who had been standing by Cao Jingxing's side all the time, and was blocked by him, was so surprised that he said, "Uncle Tao?"

As soon as the voice came out, Cao Jingxing's expression suddenly changed. Tao Qinghui raised his head to look at Qi Zheng, and also showed a look of surprise, he did not expect to meet him under such circumstances.

"This is your friend?" Cao Jingxing tilted his head slightly, and asked Qi Zheng beside him, his words seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Well, it's freezing, why are you here?" Qi Zheng answered Cao Jingxing, and then asked Tao Qinghui in the second half of the sentence. In fact, what he really wanted to ask was, isn't he cold?Tao Qinghui was very personable in a white robe, but the weather looked really abnormal.

"People who practice Taoism are not in the way." Tao Qinghui replied indifferently, his beautiful but somewhat stern eyes glanced at Cao Jingxing, his face was expressionless, and he just said: "Since it is your friend's house, I don't know if it is OK or not. For convenience, I am chasing an item."

"It's so windy and snowy outside, do you need to take a rest here?" Qi Zheng asked, after all, the other party is the elder of his friend, he can't entertain well, if Tao Qingyan finds out, he might be beaten.

Tao Qinghui searched continuously for more than half a year before discovering the whereabouts of the raccoon. There was really no time to delay here. Immediately, he raised his hand, flicked his sleeves, passed Qi Zheng and the two, and chased towards the place where the raccoon disappeared. Only a faint sentence was left, "Nothing, thank you."

Before the words fell, the raccoon disappeared before Qi Zheng and Cao Jingxing's eyes, as if they had never been there.

"You are a strange friend?" Cao Jingxing pursed his lips, looked at Qi Zheng, and asked, "I've never seen him before."

"He is Tao Qingyan's second uncle. You have met Tao Qingyan, the one who went to the haunted house together last time." Qi Zheng replied.

"Why does he look so young?" Cao Jingxing asked again.

"A cultivator, he just said that." Qi Zheng also felt that these sects were indeed strange enough, but they dared to walk through them without changing their expressions in heavy wind and snow, probably because of their righteousness.

It turned out to be from Taoism, Cao Jingxing sighed in his heart, and had a little understanding, but he had never seen what the passing spirit thing was, and Qi Zheng could also see it, the Taoist school relied on eliminating demons and monsters , Kuang Fu justice, see a ghost, must be very happy, merciless, now in the winter chasing a ghost in the underworld, it is weird.

"Your reaction just now was sharp." Qi Zheng looked at him, and suddenly said something meaningful.

Cao Jingxing rubbed the tip of his nose, and said wearily, "Maybe I'm a little sensitive today."

Qi Zheng's eyes suddenly became serious looking at him, with a puzzled expression on his face, but he still didn't ask the doubt in his heart, Cao Jingxing, who are you?
