Bewitching

When Ji Xingchen came out of the shower, he saw Meng Xi frantically calling the phone and explaining.I don't know what was said there, he nodded his head, and finally coaxed him in a good temper for a long time.

He walked over curiously for a while, and secretly glanced at it twice from the corner of his eye.He didn't mean to eavesdrop, but the voice on the other end of the phone was so loud that he could hear it clearly from a few meters away.After a while, Ji Xingchen heard that it was Meng Xi's mother who was scolding him.

Chen Ma's combat effectiveness has always been strong, and Meng Xi only felt that her ears were full of sparks.He coaxed him softly for a long time, and it took a long time to coax him well.After hanging up the phone, Ji Xingchen looked at him with a subtle expression.

Ji Xingchen just took a shower, and changed into a set of clean home clothes.He was wiping his hair with a towel in his hand, and a few strands of hair were mischievously stuck to his forehead, which softened the stern outline a lot and made it less domineering.

Meng Xi didn't know how much he listened to when he was being scolded, so he smiled a little embarrassedly.

Ji Xingchen pondered for a while, and suddenly asked without thinking: "Do you have a bad relationship with your family?"

He recalled that Meng Qian had worked several jobs outside, and he didn't know what to think of, so he gave him a pitiful look.

Meng Xi was flustered by that look, and he didn't know what kind of family ethics drama this master had imagined, so he quickly explained, "No, I'm fine with my mother, that's great."

Ji Xingchen saw that he didn't seem to be lying, but he really didn't understand what the high-decibel female voice was talking about on the phone, so he remained silent and didn't speak.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a while, and Meng Xi didn't know what to say, just when he was about to break the deadlock with a random topic, Ji Xingchen suddenly spoke again.

"I haven't been with my parents since I can remember, and I don't know the so-called relationship mode. Sorry..."

Meng Xi was stunned by the word 'sorry', he had known this person for so long, and it was the first time he heard these two words from his mouth.

After all, the first time they met, the two of them were quite embarrassed.After getting acquainted with each other, this person even kept his mouth shut about that misunderstanding, and even when he occasionally talked about it, it was all fallacies and heresies.

However, Meng Xi also felt that although this man didn't say anything, he showed something in his actual behavior.At least during the days when they got along, Ji Xingchen often took care of himself, and even condescended to cook himself a rich meal.

Ji Xingchen was leaning on the sofa thinking about something, his eyes were very light and his face was deep.So when you first meet him, you will feel that this person is cold and inhuman.

Meng Xi couldn't help sighing when he thought of his childhood in absurd dramas, and recalled the deep and shallow scars on his body.

He was supposed to be a high-spirited young man, but accidentally missed the love of his parents. .In the age when you should enjoy family affection, wandering around with Xing Er, running around for a living.

He was full of emotions for a moment, and all kinds of emotions came to his heart.

I don't know if all of this is a catastrophe destined for him by the heavens...

When Ji Xingchen came back to his senses, he saw Meng Xi sighing with a lot of emotion, and couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

"Okay, I'll explain to your mother about skipping classes and Dahei later, don't feel sorry for yourself."

Meng Xi: "..." He spent a long time apologizing and expressing emotion because of this matter, he was thinking too much!

Ji Xingchen took out a bottle of eye drops from the pocket of his pajamas and threw it to him, "It's new, unopened, use it first. After you go back, they saw your pitiful red eyes and thought I was Bullied you."

Meng Xi knew that he meant well, so he automatically blocked the unpleasant words later.He took the eyedrops and dripped them into his eyes a few times, and immediately felt refreshed and his eyes felt much more comfortable.

Ji Xingchen was wearing home clothes domineeringly occupying more than half of the sofa, and when he tilted his head, he could see Meng Xi squinting, pitifully huddled in a corner of the sofa.The sun shone in from the outside and cast it on his fair skin, and the fan-like eyelashes fluttered slightly, which made him look fascinated.

He couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was, he just felt that the daylight was just right, the atmosphere was just right, and this person was just right...

As soon as Meng Xi raised his head, he saw Ji Xingchen's cold eyes staring at him in a daze.He blinked and waved his hands in front of his eyes, "Are you sleepy? Are you going to rest?"

Ji Xingchen came back to his senses, avoided his eyes and coughed lightly, "No, I was thinking about that case."

Speaking of business, he became extremely calm again, "It's basically confirmed that the man in the cellar is the one who keeps cat ghosts."

Ji Xingchen took the mobile phone on one side, clicked on the email, quickly browsed the personal information on it, and finally read to him: "Yu Hewei, 30 years old, works in the social security center, and is mainly responsible for the pension insurance. Those victims He is responsible for the pension insurance."

The screen of the mobile phone is not very big, and the distance between the two of them is far away. Because Meng Qian couldn't see clearly from the angle, he moved his buttocks to rub against him, and stretched his neck to look.

Ji Xingchen turned his body slightly to make room for him.

The files on the phone are very complete, including Yu Zhongwei's love history over the years.Meng Xi was dumbfounded, and he didn't know where Ji Xingchen got the news.

Ji Xingchen clicked on a picture and enlarged the screenshot of the bill to show him, "Since last year, Yu Hewei's consumption level is obviously not proportional to his salary. He will pay 6 for a bag for his girlfriend casually." This is ridiculously high for a person born in an ordinary working-income family. But the money in his bank account is not only not short, but is also increasing at a terrifying speed. The real estate under his name is also It started to pop up out of nowhere like mushrooms after rain.”

Meng Xi nodded, "The cat ghost will automatically transfer the deceased's finances to the owner. The extra money he gave should be the money that disappeared after Wang Changshan and the victims died."

Ji Xingchen thought of the victims mentioned by Chen Song, either they were lonely old people, or their children were not around...

He threw his mobile phone on the table beside him, propped his chin with his right hand, and looked at Meng Xi, "It's ridiculous to say that those old people have worked so hard to save money all their lives. Became their talisman."

Meng Xi has been a man for 23 years, and he is no longer ignorant of the ways of the world, and he understands the thoughts of these old people in his heart.

Just like his grandma and grandpa, the old couple also opened a lot after retirement, but they still live on a budget.They are harsh and stingy with themselves, but they are tolerant and generous with their children.Whenever he and Chen's mother went back to visit the old man's house, they said kindly that they would save the money for him to marry a wife.

The two were speechless for a while, thinking about each other's thoughts.

Ji Xingchen changed into a comfortable position and put his legs on the sofa beside him, "Do you still remember what I told you about renting it to the landlord of Second Uncle's shop?"

Meng Xi nodded. He remembered that Ji Xingchen told him that Xing Er was so caring because he wanted to manipulate this matter to suppress the rent.

"He suspected that he was also bewitched. At first he didn't know about it. He just felt that something was wrong. He couldn't sleep all night, his limbs were throbbing, his mind was muddled, and his heart was still flustered. Sometimes, doing it during the day What, I couldn’t remember it when I went back at night. I didn’t pay attention to it at first, and I went to the hospital for an examination and found nothing. He calculated that it was like this when he reached his age, and this was the precursor of Alzheimer’s disease. Later Wang Changshan passed away , His son came to the landlord and asked his father if there was anything unusual recently. He was moved in his heart, and after asking again, he felt that his symptoms were very similar to his old friend, and he was a little scared for a while. He came to me two days ago, Said that even the funeral is prepared."

Ji Xingchen paused, and then said: "His girl is just pregnant this year, and his son-in-law is not often at home on business trips all year round. He was afraid of causing trouble to his family, so he never said anything."

Meng Qiang sighed, the first thing parents always think of is not themselves but their children.It's like Mother Chen, who could have demanded a sum of money from Ji's family back then, but she gave up all of this in order to fight for his custody rights after he was two years old...

Ji Xingchen sensed that he was distracted, and squinted at him, "Yu Hewei is still unconscious in the hospital, I guess he is in danger, so I can't find him. What can you do to help the landlord get rid of the cat ghost?" out of the body?"

Meng Xi thought about it for a while but didn't respond. It stands to reason that if a cat ghost becomes a spirit, it can be used as a tonic to absorb the evil spirit.For example, the cat ghost I ran into that night, it has already started actively looking for food and attacking humans.From the looks of it, it should be the first batch raised by Yu Hewei.It's no wonder that, devouring people's essence all day long, and often being worshiped by the owner to absorb moonlight, over time, they have spiritual wisdom and become essence.But if it is an ordinary cat ghost, it is really weak and weak, and it is not worth swallowing by him.

However, it is difficult to refine the cat ghost itself, the process is cumbersome and complicated, and the slightest carelessness will fail.Even if it succeeds, if the breeder fails to sacrifice and support them on time, they will immediately entangle the breeder and eat them back. This thing is simply harming others and not benefiting oneself.When he entered the store that day, he observed that when Yu Hewei fell down, there was only a bowl of porridge in front of him, and the rest of the bowls and jars were filled with clean water.

This shows that there is indeed a cat ghost still remaining in the human body, but it is just an ordinary puppet with no power.

"There is a prescription, you can try it." Meng Qian pondered for a while, and said seriously: "Take one each of acacia, castor bean, and croton, and four baht each of cinnabar wax. Pound them together and give it to him." Drive away. Then surround him with incense ash, light it with fire, write a cross on the fire, and the cat ghost will die."

Ji Xingchen clicked on the memo on the phone, and recorded every word Meng Qiang said, "I'll ask the landlord to do the same later, and when everything is done, I'll ask him to thank you in person."

Meng Kui felt that there was no need to thank him, since he was paid anyway.After all, on this trip, he bumped into a ghost who had become a spirit, and just used that monster energy to fill up the stagnant demon core, which was considered a great benefit.

He looked at Ji Xingchen, opened his mouth hesitant to speak, and finally couldn't hold back, and asked softly: "The landlord of Xinger gang is because of the rent, but I think you are also very concerned about this matter..."

It wasn't that he was careless, he had been in contact with Ji Xingchen for a long time, and he gradually got to know this person.There are a lot of business outside Xing Er, but Ji Xingchen rarely asks.Unless he caused some serious trouble, such as the haunted house incident last time, Ji Xingchen found out about the trouble, so he got involved.But this time, Xing Er went back to his hometown to attend the wedding and never came back.No one forced him, but he took it to heart.

"The landlord has two children. The eldest had an accident a few years ago, and the couple disappeared, leaving only one son. The 5- or 6-year-old kid is just when cats are tired of dogs. But the little guy is very clingy His grandfather, grandpa and grandson depend on each other for life. If the landlord is gone, the little brat will probably become an orphan."

Meng Xi's heart moved, thinking of what happened to him when he was 6 or 7 years old, and knew what he was worried about.If the old man is gone, and the child's aunt is pregnant again, even if he wants to raise him, he may not be able to do what he wants.

He wanted to comfort Ji Xingchen a few words, but the mobile phone that was charging on the table suddenly rang.

Meng Xi was thinking about something in his mind, so he took it directly without looking at it.

"There was trouble a week before the exam, and you even made trouble at the police station. If Lao Wang hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you did this! Where are you? I'm right outside your school gate, come down for me !"

Meng Xi was nervous, and hung up the phone with a snap. After realizing it, he looked at Ji Xingchen with a broken face.

"It's over, it's over, my uncle is here!"
