Ghosts go the same way

"Jiujiu, there is one more thing, you should be mentally prepared." When the old man said about the ancient tomb, he had a happy and excited face, but just after he finished speaking, his expression became serious.

Xiao Jiu hurriedly sat up straight, his cheeks tensed, and his sore upper and lower teeth accidentally knocked together, and he subconsciously bared his teeth in pain.

"This matter is about your father."

"Huh?" The OL from last night, the phone call this morning, and those people who were following, when the old man asked, these flashed back into Xiao Jiu's mind in an instant.

"It seems that he has started to approach you? So, do you want to restore the father-son relationship with him?"

Xiao Jiu was not in a hurry to answer. He pondered for a while before answering: "I'm lying to myself when I say I don't want to think about it at all. After all, I've been thinking about this for 18 years. Even if I give up, when he takes the initiative to contact me, there is For a while, I was secretly happy. But it was only for a while. After I was happy, I felt even more uncomfortable. I don’t want to restore the father-son relationship with him. If they ask me to repay the kindness of nurturing for so many years—after all, I It is indeed living with the money they give, that’s no problem, I will pay it back.”

What Xiao Jiu said was a bit messy, but the old man understood that what he meant was father and son relatives or something, let's just talk about feelings.They ask me for help if they have something to do, so let's settle the accounts directly.

"That Mr. Xiao must have misunderstood this matter." Knowing what Xiao Jiu thought, the old man directly referred to Xiao Jiu's father as Mr. Xiao. Who to avoid, but Mr. Xiao thought we were looking for trouble on purpose, and met you again yesterday..."

"Yeah." Xiao Jiu smiled wryly and understood, probably because his father didn't know why this behemoth of their sect troubled him at first.But he didn't dare to take any action when he was found. As a result, he met Xiao Jiu yesterday. It's no secret where Xiao Jiu lives, and it's no secret who that place once belonged to.

"Obviously", Xiao Jiu's father knew immediately who was causing trouble for him.

"Jiujiu, how do you want to deal with this matter?"

"Master, I want to... meet my dad and his family."

On the upper floor of the old man's villa, there has been a room dedicated to him since he came last time.Because it's still time for dinner, Xiao Jiu is currently playing with the computer.

"What are you thinking about?" Putting down the mouse, the chair rotated 180 degrees, Xiao Jiu looked at Tuesday, which had been floating around for a long time - even if there were no eyes on the back of his head, the cool air coming and going with Tuesday's movement was enough obvious.

Seeing Xiao Jiu's complex expression on Tuesday, he must be thinking about what to say, but in the end he really wanted to give up and said, "Forget it, let me ask you directly. Why do you want to see your father all of a sudden?"

In fact, this question, the old man is also very strange.Because Xiao Jiu's decision is completely different from what he just said.

"Because I remembered something. Mei Xinyan said that when she saw Ai Ziwei's mother, she couldn't suppress the urge to kill her at all." Xiao Jiu frowned, "So just now I suddenly thought, Is this irrepressible impulse because of Mei Xinyan's intellectual hatred? Or is it the instinct of a ghost?"

"..." Tuesday seemed to understand something, but felt that he hadn't understood it yet.

"That's why I want you to meet them. If Xiao Chongxuan is the murderer, and ghosts are instinctive to feel anger and resentment towards the beast that killed them, then even if you have no memory, you can still find the murderer."

"Xiao Jiu, I don't want revenge."

"You don't want to, I want to." Xiao Jiu's face suddenly darkened, his lips were tightly pursed, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "When I...dug you out...that resentment was buried... ..."

He dug Tuesday out with his own hands. The half-decomposed body lay in a not-so-deep place, and he lay there alone, with insects as companions.

Xiao Jiu admits that he treats others differently, although he has feelings for others, such as the woman in white.But there is no such sympathetic anger, and he agrees with Master's handling, but on Tuesday... Xiao Jiu's true thoughts have never been told to anyone-even if the murderer is punished, he will let him die in prison wailing and miserable middle.

He himself also thinks that his thoughts are rather strange. He has never had such a strong desire to possess and protect anyone. Even his parents are more of an instinctive desire for admiration, and he is actually very indifferent to friends. .

"Xiao Jiu, I... have something I've been keeping from you."

"Are you married and have children?"

"Your first reaction is too strange." The complicated expression on Tuesday suddenly turned into helplessness, "I'm not married, and I don't have children. But...Mei Xinyan, Wen Yuan, the girl in white, you contact There are actually not many ghosts, but there are at least two places they can go to, one is where they died, and the other is where their enemies are."

"Yes." Xiao Jiu nodded, not quite understanding how Tuesday mentioned this.

"However, I still have vague memories after death. I am different from them. I can only stay where I am and cannot find my enemy."

"Tuesday, what exactly do you want to say?" Xiao Jiu faintly had a bad premonition.

"I committed suicide," replied Tuesday, "no matter who hit me, whether he left my body in the wilderness or not, but in fact, I was the one who jumped out, and he just suffered an accident."

Xiao Jiu was stunned. He understood what Tuesday said, but he didn't seem to understand at all: "Mei Xinyan..." At a loss, he thought of Mei Xinyan. It is undeniable that she committed suicide, but speaking from another direction , she was murdered again because someone cut off all her ways of life, "Tuesday, don't worry because the other party is dead, you will leave my side."

"I did have resentment when I died, but this resentment did not face anyone directly. At the intersection, I just followed the cars to and fro aimlessly. Although those memories are a bit blurred, But now that I think about it carefully, maybe the one I resented at that time was only myself.”

Xiao Jiu stood up abruptly and hugged Tuesday into his arms.Tuesday also embraced Xiao Jiu. He had thought of these "truths" a long time ago, but he never said them, because he didn't want Xiao Jiu to know that the one he loved was a coward in the true sense.

"Don't go looking for a murderer, just forget about that. Everyone's life is good now, just carry on like this."

"Um……"

"Master..." Xiao Jiu found the old man in the chess and card room. At this time, the old man was actually playing Lianliankan on the Internet.Xiao Jiu stopped talking after shouting, so as not to distract the old man.

But the old man was still distracted... This round was lost.

"What?" However, the old man just played this game for fun and took it out to pass the time. Although he grinned for a while, the apprentice was more important.

"Master, I still don't see my dad." Xiao Jiu blushed and lowered his head, just said he saw him and then said he didn't see him again, which is capricious enough.As an apprentice, he was nothing short of a magic maker.

"Oh, fine." The old man nodded, "Then you sit here and let's play a game of Red Alert online."

"what?"

"Why, you haven't played Red Alert, have you?"

"You young people don't know what a real good game is. Sit down and I'll teach you."

Xiao Jiu: "..."

In the evening, Xiao Jiu ate a hodgepodge of mountain delicacies brought back by the old man and slept comfortably all night. The next morning, he was called up by the old man at five o'clock in the morning. After washing and tidying up, he and the old man got into the car at six o'clock. , heading towards the ancient tomb.

After lunch at a small restaurant on the side of the expressway, I took a takeaway and took a break before continuing on the road.After three o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at the "preliminary" destination.Because there is not even a larger village near the ancient tomb, and the relevant personnel live in temporary and simple houses, so they are now in temporary houses.

There was just a moderate rain here yesterday, and when I stepped on the ground as soon as I got out of the car, it was full of mud from my shoes.

"Master!" "Grandfather!"

At this time, there were already people waiting for No. [-] and [-] at the side of the car, and the first one was his senior sister, but Xiao Jiu didn't know anyone else. No, there was one person he knew——Mo Xi.

"Master, you don't listen to my advice, you have to run by yourself!" The senior sister came over and hugged the old man, and gave Xiao Jiu a look.

Xiao Jiu lowered his head. On the one hand, he really felt guilty for making the old man so turbulent, but on the other hand, he was also happy at the stare of the senior sister - if you don't get angry at him, but greet him with a smile, then you will be out of touch.

A group of people was a little noisy, and they arrived at an open space in the north, where the tables and chairs had already been set up.As soon as Xiao Jiu sat down with the flow of people, the food was served right after him.Xiao Jiu, the old man and the man in black driving the car were really hungry after a day of bumps.Xiao Jiu sat down and started to eat. The food was not very delicate, but the taste was very good and the ingredients were sufficient.

The old man asked his senior sister a few words about what happened when they left, but everything was as usual, so the old man stopped talking and started eating.

Others are also used to eating without talking, eating a meal quickly and silently.

After eating and drinking, Xiao Jiu just stood up to help clean up the dishes, but the senior sister said, "Mo Xi, take your uncle to his place, he will be busy tomorrow."

Only then did Xiao Jiu discover that there was another person he knew.Mo Xi didn't dress like a lady like the last time we met. He was wearing a dusty camouflage uniform, his hair was tied into a ponytail, and his face was a bit tanned. If it wasn't for the senior sister who pointed it out, the girl would also walk up to him and give him a playful smile Xiao Jiu couldn't recognize the completely different girl at all.

"Let's go."

Xiao Jiu glanced at her, then at the old man subconsciously. The old man who was pinching his beard noticed his gaze and winked at him.In a daze, Xiao Jiu understood something.
