The Haunted

Only then did Chi Yan's heart completely sink into his stomach, even though he had subconsciously chosen to trust Ye Yingzhi earlier.

He turned his head and glanced at the bookshelf behind him, and sure enough, Hu Xing was no longer there.

Chi Yan took back his phone and saw that Ye Yingzhi had already picked up the books and cake box on the table and put them in his schoolbag.

He raised his head, somewhat unexpectedly: "Are you leaving now? You...don't learn?"

Ye Yingzhi nodded: "Don't study, let's go home. It's still early, there will be no traffic jams at this point, and there is still time to buy vegetables and cook."

"Oh." Chi Yan followed him out in a daze, unexpectedly feeling that he was some kind of wretched princess who would confuse the king so that he didn't come to court early.

After getting into the car, Chi Yan took off the backpack and carried it into his arms, the little black fox stuck out his head from inside and looked at him unwillingly.

Ye Yingzhi glanced lightly: "What is this?"

Chi Yan recalled that Hu Xing sent Lao Yuan away on purpose to prevent him from getting involved in such strange things, saying that it was not good for ordinary people.He didn't understand these things before, and every time he saw a ghost, he called Ye Yingzhi and Ye Yingzhi said it. Now that he knew it, he naturally didn't want to involve the other party, so he made up a random saying: "Lao Yuan is chasing a girl recently. He entrusted the fox he raised to him when he was going out recently, but he couldn’t take care of it every day when he had to go out for practice every day, so he entrusted the fox to me again. The main reason for inviting me to dinner today is to take care of him for a while. time."

Now there are people who keep anything as pets. Although foxes are rare, it is not too strange.

Having said that, Chi Yan cautiously asked Ye Yingzhi: "...I forgot to ask you before, can I take the fox to your house?" He remembered that Ye Yingzhi said that the house was also lent to him by others.

Ye Yingzhi didn't care, and said indifferently, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of small animals entering my house, but small animals are very afraid of me."

Chi Yan only thought he was joking and didn't pay attention to what he said.

After returning to Ye Ying's home, Chi Yan set up a nest for the little fox in the kitchen, and as Ye Yingzhi said, the little fox ran out as soon as he went in to cook, and changed from his previous laziness. It looked like a black lightning bolt, making Chi Yan laugh out loud.

It was already five o'clock when the two returned home after shopping for vegetables. Ye Yingzhi sat on the dining table and chairs after getting ready in the kitchen, served the piece of cake that Chi Yan bought on a plate, and divided He took out a small piece and put it in his mouth, tilted his head and tasted it.

Chi Yan sat across from him and watched eagerly, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Ye Yingzhi forked another small piece and handed it to Chi Yan's mouth. After watching Chi Yan eat it, he slowly said, "Do you like this?"

He poked the cake with a fork, and ate the rest unceremoniously: "I will make this too, and I will make it for you another day."

"Okay." Chi Yan nodded and replied with a smile. In fact, although the cakes are delicious, they are not so good. If you eat too much, you will get tired. The hot pot made by Ye Yingzhi is more delicious. No matter how much you eat, you will feel full. Will not feel tired feeling.

But he was embarrassed to say it, and it seemed like he coveted other people's hot pot every day.

In the evening, after taking a shower, Chi Yan nestled in his place on Ye Yingzhi's bed and prepared to go to bed. When Ye Yingzhi came out of the shower, he was almost asleep in a daze.

Ye Yingzhi lay down and turned off the light, and squinted at him by the moonlight for a long time, then reached out and stroked his hair lightly, and said softly: "You are good, didn't you think that with the protection of that fox, you would not want your husband?" .” His voice was low, with a slight smile on his face.

Then leaned over, brushed away the broken hair on his forehead, and kissed his forehead.Lie down next to him again, holding him tightly in his arms.

Chi Yan hummed softly, then nestled on Ye Yingzhi's shoulder and did not move, sleeping soundly.

Nothing happened all night, the next day the two of them hid in the study together, Ye Yingzhi was holding his notebook and didn't know what he was doing.Chi Yan was sitting next to him holding his notebook to sort out the data. Although the tutor was away for the time being, he still had to report to the other party by email on a regular basis, so naturally he didn't dare to slack off.

The two sat side by side, almost like elementary school students sitting at the same table.

When it's meal time, the two go out to eat together, and go to rest together when it's time to take a shower or sleep. The work and rest are very synchronized.

Until the middle of the night when Chi Yan was sleeping, he suddenly heard the faint cry of an animal outside the door. Lying there, he carefully distinguished it, and realized that it seemed to be the cry of the little fox, A Sheng.Foxes were no more common than cats and dogs, and this was the first time he heard a fox barking.

Chi Yan's heart skipped a beat, thinking of Hu Xing's words that little foxes can suppress evil, he vaguely guessed that something was wrong.He glanced at Ye Yingzhi who was sleeping soundly beside him, quietly turned on the bedside lamp on his side, picked up his mobile phone and got out of bed gently, and pushed open the bedroom door.

People are also changing with the times. In the past, people felt safe when they went out with torches and candlesticks. Later, people held flashlights. Now mobile phones have become the most secure thing.

It can illuminate, and more importantly, it means the possibility of communicating with the outside world and others.Perhaps what people fear most is not the disaster of monsters, but the loneliness and helplessness, the despair that they know they are in a desperate situation but cannot get out of it, and no one can save them.

The sound came from the stairs. Chi Yan walked to the edge of the stairs and looked down along the sound. The little fox was blocking the stairwell with a pair of brown eyes. After hearing the sound, it turned around and saw Chi Yan, and ran up. He took two steps and stood firmly in front of Chi Yan.Its limbs are on the ground, the hair on its neck is slightly blown out, and its head is tilted forward, as if it is always ready to attack.

Chi Yan turned on the wall lamp in the corridor on the second floor, and he could vaguely see two pale figures in the shadow of the corner on the first floor—they were standing there straight, one without a nose and one without ears.

This time, two victims appeared at the same time.

The little fox bared its teeth and snarled in a threatening posture, but the two things didn't notice it, and they were still moving upstairs step by step with stiff movements.

Chi Yan involuntarily took a step back, but to his surprise, the little fox followed him and took another step up.

Chi Yan stared at the little thing under his feet and said no, Miss, you look very powerful, and your master also praised you for being able to help, but in fact, you are just a vicious fox who can only put on airs?

He kept churning in his heart, staring at the two human figures on the stairs, resisting the urge to run away, hide in the bedroom, lock the door and hide under the quilt to hide beside Ye Yingzhi.

The corridor suddenly became brighter at this moment. Chi Yan turned his head and saw Ye Yingzhi opened the bedroom door that had been gently closed after he came out. With a reassuring elegance and calmness.

Bright light from the bedroom overhead light streamed from the open doorway, illuminating the somewhat dark hallway.

At this moment, Chi Yan suddenly didn't feel afraid anymore.

He looked back towards the stairs, and the two figures just now had indeed disappeared.

Ye Yingzhi tilted his head slightly to look at him: "What are you doing out in the middle of the night without sleeping?"

Chi Yan hurriedly picked up the little fox, and made up a reason: "It's nothing...just hearing the fox barking, I'm afraid it might be hungry or sick." After hearing Hu Xing say that it's best for ordinary people not to get involved in these things, he He deliberately wanted Ye Yingzhi to avoid these things, and he didn't dare to let him know when he saw that kind of thing just now.

Ye Yingzhi glanced at him again before saying: "Don't hold it, this kind of animal is different from ordinary pet cats and dogs, it may carry more germs or parasites on its body. Besides, whether a man or a woman can kiss each other, I don't know. I heard that all foxes have spirituality, this is a little female fox, it is not good for you to hug him."

The former sentence makes sense, but the latter sentence is pure nonsense.But Chi Yan immediately obediently put the little fox on the ground.

Ah Sheng immediately ran downstairs obediently, and it seemed that he had returned to his nest.

Chi Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, just now he saw those two things at the corner of the stairs, so he didn't dare to go downstairs and send the little fox back to its den.

Ye Yingzhi had been silently watching him, who was obviously too frightened and tried not to say anything, at this moment he couldn't help showing a little smile, and waved to him: "What are you doing standing there, come back to sleep soon .”

Chi Yan followed him in, carefully locked the bedroom door, and then climbed onto the bed and turned off the bedside lamp on his side.The bedroom was plunged into darkness again. After a long time, he secretly glanced at the roommate who seemed to have fallen asleep again, and quietly, thinking that no one had noticed, he rubbed against his bedmate.

In the darkness, the corners of Ye Yingzhi's mouth curved upward almost invisibly.

Early the next morning, Wan Yan hid on the balcony and called Hu Xing to tell what happened that night.

Hu Xing's voice sounded very tired: "It seems that they still haven't been guarded, and another victim has appeared, and this time there are two at a time... That thing is really urgent."

It was only then that Chi Yan realized that Hu Xing had been busy with this matter for the past two days, trying to catch the trace of the evil spirit every night, but found nothing.

"By the way, Sister Hu, there is one more thing. The little fox has been a little sluggish since yesterday, and it didn't eat much from what I fed it this morning. What's going on?" Chi Yan has no experience in raising small animals, let alone Speaking of raising foxes, if you encounter any problems, you can only consult the owner as soon as possible.

Hu Xing was very anxious when he heard that, he asked Chi Yan for the address of Ye Ying's house, and said that she would come over right away.

Sure enough, she arrived after more than an hour.Chi Yan lied to Ye Yingzhi, saying that the girl that Lao Yuan was chasing recently came to pick up the foster little fox, and walked out with A Sheng in his arms.

Hu Xing held the little thing in his arms distressedly, and stroked its ears.The little fox let out a low growl in her arms and rubbed against her.

She hugged A Sheng and looked at it repeatedly, and let out a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, there is no serious problem, it's just that I was backlashed by evil spirits."

"Backed by evil energy?" Chi Yan wondered.Didn't it mean that this little fox can suppress evil?Will it still be backlashed by evil spirits?

Hu Xing nodded: "Ah Sheng is much more sensitive to this kind of thing than us human beings, and it can sense the evil aura that I can't detect. Look at it like this...it should be because you have come into contact with extreme evil aura in your place these two days. This is only the case with heavy things. I didn’t expect that the evil spirit of that thing would be so strong, but the grieving ghosts turned into by the people killed by it would also carry such heavy evil spirits, and could even recoil to Ah Sheng.”

"But in this case, I have to take Ah Sheng back to recuperate. I can't let him stay here any longer. You have to be more careful." Hu Xing warned.

Chi Yan said in his heart that it was okay, he couldn't bear to see this little guy suffer with him, besides, to be honest, he felt that this little fox was not as useful as his roommate.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking Hu Xing: "Sister Hu, what's the situation with my roommate? You said he was an ordinary person, but every time he appeared, those ghosts seemed to disappear."

Hu Xing shook his head, smiled lightly and said, "I don't know about it. People are very complicated creatures. Some people are very lucky, some people are heavy-handed, and some people are born with the ability to overcome all evil. It is clear. The study of man and heaven is the 'Tao', and I have studied the art of subjugating demons and eliminating evil since I was a child, and what I have learned is the 'Fa'. I am not sure about the inter-professional issues."
