After Grandma Ji went upstairs, she went back to her room and lay down. It was already late at night, and there was no harsh doorbell, and the whole house was quiet again.

The feeling of being spied on disappeared, Ji Mingxia only felt that the ghost had left at this moment.

He stood in the living room waiting for a while, turned off the downstairs lights one by one, then went upstairs, sneaked into Grandma Ji's door, and took a peek.

Grandma Ji is already asleep.

She was extremely tired, but after a short while, she fell into a deep sleep.

After confirming that although she was affected, she was still safe, Ji Mingxia was relieved and returned to her room.

He had lost all sleepiness.

In just a few minutes, Grandma Ji kept replaying images of aging in her mind. Ji Mingxia was angry and anxious, but she didn't know the source of all these weirdnesses.

He was completely at a loss, wishing he could find Yu Ning immediately and ask Yu Ning to help him analyze all this.

However, Yu Ning is in the capital now, and his phone can't be reached...

Jiaoye Village has been haunted by ghosts for so long, and no one has found a way to solve it. All the residents have turned into ostriches, choosing to continue to survive in Jiaoye Village by deceiving their ears and stealing their bells.

Although Ji Mingxia has a book-wearing golden finger, the village of Jiaoye Village was never mentioned in the original book.

Unable to predict the plot in advance, it was not even a day before he returned to Jiaoye Village.

His intelligence is at an average level. With him alone, how could he find the problem in such a short period of time?

Ji Mingxia never dared to overestimate his ability, he always felt that his greatest strength was self-knowledge.

But now that Grandma Ji has become like this, Ji Mingxia can't just watch Grandma Ji grow old.

People in their 70s look like they are in their 90s. Although Grandma Ji is still alive, as long as the ghost image appears a few more times, Grandma Ji may be...

Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia's heart was in a mess. At this moment, the cold touch of the ring made Ji Mingxia's brain clear.

His hand touched the blood-red ring unconsciously. The cold feeling made Ji Mingxia think of Yu Ning's fingertips inexplicably.

Ji Mingxia forced himself to calm down.

During this period of time, he and Yu Ning encountered ghosts frequently, and every time Yu Ning did analysis, he would tell him.

He is not Yu Ning, but he can learn from Yu Ning and imitate Yu Ning's thinking.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia got up immediately, went to the desk, took out a pen and paper, and first listed the doubtful points he observed after entering Jiaoye Village.

First of all, for Ji Mingxia, the most shocking thing is the scene he saw tonight.

After the ghost knocked on the door, when the power to the doorbell was turned off, the shadow outside the door disappeared.

At that moment, Ji Mingxia briefly thought that the ghost was leaving.

But soon, he felt abnormal at home.

Immediately afterwards, a ghost appeared on Grandma Ji, chewing something. After the ghost disappeared, Grandma Ji became tired and old at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if she had been swallowed by the ghost for several months.

Seeing the changes in Grandma Ji with my own eyes, and then comparing the Grandma Ji in Ji Mingxia's original world with the old and tired Grandma Ji at this moment, the questions that Ji Mingxia has been lingering in her heart for a long time have finally been answered.

Why does Grandma Ji look 30 years older than her grandma in the original world?

It's not because of the difference in age, nor is it because of the body, it's because of this ghost.

Moreover, according to Grandma Ji's words, it can be confirmed that the entire Jiaoye Village has been shrouded in the haze of ghosts knocking on the door.

Today, after Ji Mingxia returned to the village, the living person he saw was Aunt Cheng. At that time, Ji Mingxia had a quick glance and found that Aunt Cheng was different from what he remembered, she seemed much shriveled and older.

At that time, Ji Mingxia thought it was his own illusion, but now he suddenly understands that the ghost knocks on the door of someone every night, and sucks the life essence of the person that night.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia wrote down the word "Shouyuan" on the paper.

So, the question now is, why does Guiying take Shouyuan?

This world is full of mysterious items, and ghosts absorb life essence purposefully, most likely driven by people.

In the entire Jiaoye Village, who is suspected of doing such a thing?

Ji Mingxia used a simple method of elimination.

In his world, the death of his parents in a car accident has also happened, and it can be ruled out that he was affected by mysterious items.

According to Grandma Ji, what is left is the eighty-year-old couple who both passed away at home, and... a mother and son with cancer, although thin and weak, were miraculously cured and returned to Jiaoye Village.

On the day they returned to Jiaoye Village, two unknown middle-aged men died in the village.

Not long after, two more young lads disappeared.

From here, the nightmare of Jiaoye Village appeared, and no one in the village was spared.

Ji Mingxia looked at the clues listed on his homework paper, his eyes lit up, and almost without hesitation, he drew a circle on the place "cancer mother and child".

This is the turning point of all events.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia already had a general direction in his mind.

The night passed quickly, and the next morning, at dawn, Ji Mingxia went downstairs.

There are few entertainment facilities in the village, and the villagers work at sunrise and rest at sunset, so although Ji Mingxia got up early, it just happened to catch up with the busiest time in the village.

The ghost knocking on the door had a great impact on the entire Jiaoye Village. It didn't have to be night. From the afternoon onwards, the village was deserted and almost no one went out.

But after all, we live here, so we can't stay at home every day.

Therefore, the villagers of Jiaoye Village made good use of the morning time.

The morning sun shines into the yard through the thin morning mist.

When Ji Mingxia went downstairs, Grandma Ji had already finished practicing Tai Chi in the yard and was preparing to make tea in the living room.

Seeing Ji Mingxia getting up so early, Grandma Ji was a little surprised: "You didn't sleep last night?"

"Slept." Ji Mingxia said, "Go to bed early and wake up early."

Grandma Ji obviously didn't believe his words. Thinking of what happened last night, she thought that Ji Mingxia was frightened. Grandma Ji said softly, "The weather is fine in the morning, and there is nothing to do. Let's go back to sleep for a while."

Ji Mingxia looked at her always serious face, and looked at himself with some worry, feeling inexplicably sore in his heart.

Originally, Grandma Ji was already much older than her grandma in that world. After what happened last night, she became even more vicissitudes, with more age spots and wrinkles on her face, like an old pine tree that is about to die.

Grandma Ji guessed right, Ji Mingxia did not sleep all night, in her situation, Ji Mingxia could not sleep.

But in front of Grandma Ji, Ji Mingxia naturally wouldn't reveal his worries, he stretched his waist and said, "I'm full of sleep, I don't want to sleep anymore, I'll have breakfast first, and I'll go shopping with you later."

According to Ji Mingxia's plan, he wanted to take the opportunity to observe the people in Jiaoye Village when he was shopping for vegetables, and then inquire about the mother and child when he had the opportunity. It would be even better if he could meet real people.

Unexpectedly, Grandma Ji said, "There are vegetables in the refrigerator, so you don't need to go out to buy them."

"Is there any fresh ones in the refrigerator? It seems that there are not many fruits at home. I'll buy some later and I'll bring them back for you." Ji Mingxia said, "The vegetable market is still in its old place, isn't it?"

"Not here." Grandma Ji said, "Don't think about buying vegetables, just wait at home for dinner, I will arrange these."

Ji Mingxia vaguely felt that Grandma Ji seemed to be very resistant to going out to buy vegetables.

The more Grandma Ji refused to talk about it, the more curious Ji Mingxia became. During breakfast, she made all kinds of insinuations.

Grandma Ji also expressed her impatience during the period, but Ji Mingxia was very thick-skinned and continued to ask. In desperation, Grandma Ji could only say: "The vegetable market is closed, and now everyone goes to the supermarket to buy vegetables. I am an old man. Free home delivery, no more going out."

Ji Mingxia was taken aback for a moment, inexplicably thinking of the small supermarket he saw yesterday.

It was there that Ji Mingxia met Aunt Cheng. He remembered that the blood-red ring was still glowing.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia immediately asked: "It's the small supermarket that was remodeled from a western building. Who opened that small supermarket?"

Grandma Ji raised her eyes and glanced at Ji Mingxia: "Zhou Mei opened it."

Zhou Mei?

The name sounded familiar yet distant, Ji Mingxia frowned and thought for a moment, then his expression changed slightly.

Isn't Zhou Mei the owner of that mansion?

In Ji Mingxia's original world, the owner of the mansion had long since died of illness. After their death, the mansion was taken over by the government and transformed into a coffee shop. It was once one of the popular check-in spots in Jiaoye Village.

When Ji Mingxia saw the small supermarket, he thought that the plot of the world had changed subtly, and the mansion was rented out to open a supermarket.

In the end, I didn't expect that the owner of the mansion didn't die, but opened a supermarket instead?

Ji Mingxia asked in surprise: "This Zhou Mei, is that the one who recovered from cancer?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Grandma Ji heard the words, not only did not answer him, but instead scolded: "What does this have to do with you, why ask so many questions, hurry up and go back to your room to play with your phone!"

After finishing speaking, Grandma Ji didn't eat, and returned to the kitchen with the bowl in hand.

Ji Mingxia stared blankly at Grandma Ji's back, not understanding why she reacted so violently.

Last night, Grandma Ji had already told him roughly about the ghost knocking on the door of Jiaoye Village.

He asked today, but it was just to clarify the matter of the ghost knocking on the door, but Grandma Ji became angry all of a sudden, as if she had been touched.

The vegetable market is gone, and now if the village wants to buy vegetables, they can only go to the supermarket to buy them.

Grandma Ji didn't want Ji Mingxia to go out to buy vegetables, and now that Ji Mingxia asked about Zhou Mei, Grandma Ji was also very resistant.

Everything is obvious, there is definitely something wrong with this supermarket!

At the same time, Ji Mingxia also discovered that Grandma Ji might be hiding something from him.

Ji Mingxia has no way of finding out Grandma Ji's secret for the time being, but Ji Mingxia is looking for a chance to visit this supermarket.

If he does nothing, Grandma Ji may die at any time; if he actively seeks the truth, there may be a chance of survival.

Knowing that the supermarket is dangerous, and with his vegetable chicken strength, he might go there to give away the head, but Ji Mingxia had no choice but to go.

This kind of thing happened before, when he was going to Quanzhuang, but Yu Ning was still there at that time, this time it was different, he was single...

Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia held onto the ring and tried to cheer himself up.

Anyway, he is a supporting role. According to the original book, he didn't even have time to play... Although the plot has completely changed now, his survival rate is always higher than others!

During the lunch break, while Grandma Ji was asleep, Ji Mingxia sneaked out of the house.

After lunch time, Jiaoye Village became deserted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

From Ji Mingxia's home to the small supermarket, the distance is not far. Along the way, Ji Mingxia is doing psychological construction. He even made preparations for a big battle as soon as he entered the supermarket. Unexpectedly, just passing the corner, the small supermarket The door of the supermarket came into view, and what Ji Mingxia saw was a medium-sized truck.

A few workers moving goods came and went in and out of the small supermarket, carrying all kinds of sacks and suitcases, as if someone was about to move.

Ji Mingxia stared blankly at this scene, before he could figure out what was going on, at this moment, a man who was carrying luggage saw Ji Mingxia standing in the corner.

He waved at Ji Mingxia and shouted, "Mingxia, are you back?"

Ji Mingxia looked at his familiar yet unfamiliar face.

This is a young man in his twenties, with short hair, dark skin, and a little short stature, barely over 1.7 meters tall.

He has a Chinese character face, big eyes, but strangely, the eyeballs are small, and there is an obvious squint.

When he saw Ji Mingxia, the man immediately burst into a smile.

Compared with his face, his teeth were exceptionally white, even a little strangely white.

The corners of the grinning mouth are filled with big white teeth that are full and neat, and the teeth look very good.

Such lips and teeth, logically speaking, should be extraordinarily bright when smiling.

But I don't know if it's because his eyes are so small, although his smile is bright, it can't penetrate into his eyes.

Looking at his smile, Ji Mingxia felt awkward all over, and wanted to look away, not wanting to see his face again.

But this man, after calling Ji Mingxia's name, ran up to him.

Seeing Ji Mingxia looking at him suspiciously, the man immediately pointed to himself and said, "I, Zhou Tao, don't you remember me?"

Zhou Tao?

The expression on Ji Mingxia's face froze for a moment.

Of course he knew that Zhou Tao was Zhou Mei's son.

Jiaoye Village is only this big, and Zhou Tao is the same age as him. Ji Mingxia often played with Zhou Tao when he was young.

But not long after Ji Mingxia's parents passed away, Zhou Tao and his mother passed away one after another.

Cancer has a certain genetic probability. Zhou Tao was the first to detect cancer. He was in the middle stage of cancer, and then Zhou Mei was found to be in the late stage of cancer.

In Ji Mingxia's original world, Zhou Tao and Zhou Mei worked hard to cooperate with the treatment. However, the current human medicine still has not conquered cancer. They eventually died of illness in the hospital and were buried on the back mountain of Jiaoye Village.

Ji Mingxia's impression of Zhou Tao was fixed in his junior high school appearance that hadn't fully opened yet.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Tao would look like this when he grew up.

Although Zhou Tao was not good-looking when he was a child, at least he looked upright.

His eyeballs are not so small, and his eyes are not squinted, and it's not so strange when he smiles.

The people in the village, seeing Zhou Tao's change, might think that Zhou Tao's appearance changed due to chemotherapy. Anyway, the cancer has been cured, and this little impact on appearance is nothing in front of life.

But Ji Mingxia, who has experienced several supernatural events, when he saw Zhou Tao, the first thing he thought of was Lin Siyun who had used the blood-red ring.

Immediately afterwards, he remembered last night, that ghost crawling on Grandma Ji's shoulder, chewing.

At this moment, Ji Mingxia can confirm that the ghost knocking on the door of Jiaoye Village must be related to Zhou Mei and Zhou Tao's mother and son.

But the next moment, Zhou Tao's words surprised Ji Mingxia.

"It's hard to wait until you come back from the college entrance examination, and I still want to have a good time with you. It's a pity..." Zhou Tao said, and glanced at the small supermarket, "We are leaving here today."

"Are you leaving Jiaoye Village?" Ji Mingxia asked in surprise.
