When I went out of the wreath shop to the north, my mind was full of what the sloppy old man said, and I couldn't help but get goosebumps again, and I felt that everything I saw was gloomy. That's right, the little ghosts are all out, and the yin qi is too heavy.

Cheer yourself up to the north, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, let the little ghosts go to those who have done great evil.

But where can the souls of these two beauties be? After all, the streets are full of crossroads.

To the north, I thought of two places: the entrance of the Beijiang Evening News and the diagonal opposite the Hedong Children's Hospital. That's right, just go to these two places!

To the north, I first went to the nearby intersection of the Beijiang Evening News. In addition to the location of the newspaper office, there are three intersections around, and he doesn't know where Zhou Xuecen died. According to other people's descriptions, he felt it should be diagonally opposite the northeast corner.

He chose his place, recalled what the sloppy old man had said, took out the chalk from his pocket, and made a circle on the ground, making a cross in the circle. After finishing the painting, Xiang Bei suddenly remembered to leave a gap, and he wiped off another edge with his hand, leaving a hole in the direction of the newspaper office.

All this was ready, and the yellow papyrus was taken out to the north and set aside. These papers have been spelled and opened by the sloppy old man, and must have become hard currency.

OK, everything is in order, let's burn it. Uh, wait a minute, what about the lighter? Xiangbei suddenly realized that he had forgotten one of the most important things. What should I do? There is no fire, this is not nonsense!

He looked around, maybe there was a store nearby. I didn't find the store, but I saw a person burning paper not far away. Great, now is the perfect time to burn paper, God help me.

"Hello, borrow a fire. Xiangbei walked up to the man and asked in a tentative tone.

The man was crouching on the ground when he heard someone greet him and raised his head. Only then did Xiang Bei see his appearance clearly: yes, the silver-haired old lady, her hair was so capricious that it seemed to have been processed by a high-grade plasma perm, and her red and swollen eyes were bloodshot, which made people shudder.

"Young man, are you sure you want to borrow my fire?" said the old woman, with a stern and grim face.

"Uh, yes, I ...... I also wanted to burn paper, but I didn't have a lighter. "Heading north, he doesn't know if he's made the right decision.

"Do you know, this fire that burns paper for the dead can't be borrowed casually, otherwise, it will mess up the soul, maybe my daughter will find your house tonight if she is looking for the flame!"

"Is it so serious? Isn't it just borrowing a fire? Uh, forget it, forget it, I'll figure it out. Xiang Bei regretted it and quickly turned around to leave.

"Wait!" the old woman stood up, looked into the distance, and pointed out, "where are you burning?"

"That's right. ”

"Dry is the sky, Kun is the earth, earthquake is thunder, Xun is the wind, Kan is water, separation is fire, Gen is the mountain, and the exchange is Ze......" The old lady closed her eyes and pinched her fingers vigorously. Suddenly, she opened her eyes, and there was fear in them.

"Take it, young man. The old woman threw the match not far away.

Xiangbei was going to reach out to pick it up, but he was blinded by the old woman, what do you mean? If you don't give it, you won't give it, and you can't be so insulting, right?!

"Remember, I didn't give you this match, you picked it up yourself, go quickly!" the old woman scolded, and her emotions became more and more excited.

"Good, good, thank you. Xiangbei didn't want to argue with this old woman, so he turned around and went to pick up matches.

"Young man, use matches carefully, shelter from the wind and rain, this fire is not easy to light! Alas, the resentment is too heavy, the resentment is too heavy. The old lady packed up her things and hurried away, leaving only Xiangbei alone in the wind, with a covered face.

Okay, the matches were borrowed, oh no, they were picked up, so let's get to work. To the north, as the owner of the wreath shop said, the paper was burned as if it had completed a religious ceremony.

It's really strange, as the old woman said, this match was struck and immediately blown out by the wind. However, there seems to be no wind.

Xiang Bei does not believe in this evil, continue to light, and the matches continue to be extinguished. Extinguish and point again, point and extinguish. I don't know how many times I lit it like this, and I almost gave up to the north, and there were only two left in the matchbox, and if I couldn't light it again, it was really going to be in the soup. What kind of moth is this old woman?!

"Wow!" the match was struck again, and he hurriedly threw down the matchbox to the north, and ignited the paper with his left hand against the wind. Finally it worked!

Xiang Bei breathed a sigh of relief. Yellow grass

The paper burned one by one. Xiang Bei thought that he wanted to bribe the little ghosts who passed by. So, he took out a few pieces of paper and placed them outside the circle.

The whole ceremony took half an hour, and it took about ten minutes just to find the fire and light the fire.

Xiangbei thought of such a bad situation, and thought that there was only one match left, and he was extremely depressed, feeling that the ceremony at the children's hospital was probably going to be in vain. I never thought that the yellow straw paper prepared for Nuoyi burned exceptionally smoothly, and a pile of paper burned smoothly.

Xiangbei seemed to have completed a major mission, breathed a sigh of relief, got up and stared at the ashes on the ground for a long time, silently recited the promise countless times in his heart, and finally reluctantly left. He thought of the wreath shop owner's words, don't look back, yes, don't look back.

Xiangbei knew that all the legends about ghosts in this world were false, and he never believed in them. Therefore, whether it is the owner of the wreath shop or the old woman who burns yellow paper, it seems to him to be a dream, a reflection of his state of mind.

If there were ghosts, those bad guys would have been punished a long time ago, and there would be no need to trouble the police.

But those who died died, and the bad ones still lived comfortably. The role of ghosts is nothing more than to make the living nostalgic for the dead, nothing more.

In recent years, Hedong City has indeed made considerable progress in urban construction, not to mention anything else, to say that the main roads in the urban area have been expanded to be much more spacious than before, and in order to solve the problem of traffic congestion in the urban area, several viaducts have been erected around the urban area.

In addition, several large domestic real estate companies have settled in Hedong, and several landmark skyscrapers have been erected for the city. After all, PK between large cities is becoming more and more intense, and one of the important indicators is the number of skyscrapers above 200 meters. Whether you accept it or not, put it up and talk about it!

This old city, which has been in decline for many years, now looks like it is finally a little bit of a boom.

Xiangbei and Luo Fangyi originally agreed to have dinner at the Four Seasons Barbecue in the evening, which was where they had their first dinner. In fact, Luo Fangyi also has a plan, calling Fat Dong and them to hold a grand welcome ceremony in the evening to wash the dust for the wind to the north.

Helplessly, the plan couldn't catch up with the change, Luo Fangyi suddenly received an urgent order to go on a business trip in the afternoon, and the dinner time was advanced to noon.

The shopping mall where the two agreed to meet is a chain supermarket built by a large group in Bac Giang province.

From a distance, the entire building is oval-shaped, a modern frame structure. The mall has five floors above ground and three floors underground. Among them, the second and third floors of the basement are parking lots, and the basement floor is a supermarket and dining area, Sichuan-style boiled fish, Western restaurants, Japanese food, and large and small restaurants such as yellow stewed chicken, spicy hot, teppanyaki, etc., which attract a large number of citizens every day, and are overcrowded on weekends.

At lunchtime, Xiang Bei and Luo Fangyi came to the supermarket entrance of the mall.

"Master, are you here so early?"

"I've just arrived, you say, what you want to eat, I'll treat you. ”

"No, I'll have to invite you this time. ”

Seeing that Luo Fangyi insisted on inviting, Xiangbei didn't say anything more, of course, he didn't have much money in his pocket.

"Then let's go eat sizzling fish. Luo Fangyi proposed, "The teppanyaki fish in this mall is very distinctive, super invincible spicy, super invincible hemp, you must give it a try." Anyway, I come here once a week. ”

"Okay, let me see. "Xiang Bei is not used to eating spicy food. Especially the small tumor in his head that would explode at any moment, couldn't withstand such stimulation. However, he couldn't spoil this girl's interest.

The two of them came to the store and picked up the menu.

"Waiter, order a Yangtze River back fish, medium and spicy. ”

"Beauty, the medium spicy in our store is super spicy, and the slightly spicy is already very spicy. ”

"Very spicy, how spicy, is it so spicy?" Luo Fangyi gestured with both hands to a length, which amused the waiter at once.

This Xiao Luo is still so nonsensical, and Xiangbei also laughed.

"Okay, I come to eat it often, so it's still slightly spicy, let Master get used to it slowly, hehe. ”

The fish costs about three pounds. Order a few more dishes," Luo Fangyi looked at the menu seriously, and the pencil in his hand kept hesitating to tick which side dish to tick, "uh...... Blueberry yam, caramel rice cake, fruit watermelon and daikon radish, and two bowls of rice, that's all. ”

"Xiao Luo, isn't it a bit much?"

"Not much, Master, if you eat this fish, you have to go with the rice and fruit that goes with the dishes, otherwise the tip of your tongue won't be able to stand it. ”

Luo Fangyi looked at Xiangbei stupidly. Looking at the past from the perspective of the north, it seems that she is still the little girl who was a little playful back then.

Xiangbei couldn't help but think of the scene when they first met three years ago, in the breakfast restaurant near Luohe Village, it was really a thing

"You're still the same girl I met three years ago. Xiang Bei said.

"Master, you said that a person who has worked for many years has not changed much from when he first worked, is it a good thing or a bad thing?"

"It doesn't matter if some things are good or bad, as long as you stick to yourself. "Luo Fangyi's question is stumped Xiang Bei, stupid girl, I am a failure, and I actually asked such a difficult question! If I knew the answer to this question, would I have ended up where I am today?

"The longer I work, the more I feel that many things are difficult to deal with, and when I first worked, I was fine, and the leader asked me to do whatever I wanted, but now I have more work, and all kinds of troubles are coming. I always feel that all aspects of the relationship must be balanced, but it is difficult to satisfy everyone. ”

"Hehe, don't talk about you, maybe those in high positions also have this kind of confusion. Everyone is trying to do something, but everyone is complaining, everyone feels wronged. In order not to let yourself be wronged, you set up various barriers to protect yourself, or shirk for yourself. As a result, it became more and more difficult to do. ”

"But why is it so painful? I feel that I feel it, but I still have to do it. ”

"I think you should say the other way around, this thing has to be done, but why do people feel miserable? Maybe it's because of the social rules. Xiangbei pondered the question thrown by Luo Fangyi, "Forget it, don't talk about this." I'm looking for you today because I want your help with something. ”

"What's the matter, Master. ”

"I was in Chen Jizhou's office yesterday and saw some information about my case, including those report emails. I think...... I want you to help me get the information about those emails, especially the sender's, and I want to find out who is framing me. ”

"What, Master, I know that this incident has caused you a lot of harm, but after all, it's all over......" Xiang Bei's words made Luo Fangyi a little surprised, she was not unwilling to help Xiang Bei, but she was worried that doing so would bring more harm to Xiang Bei.

"A lot of damage...... That's the second person I've heard say that. Do you know how big the damage is? Let me quantify it for you, my job is gone, my family is gone, my wife and children are gone, what else do I have to fear? If I get to this point and I don't know who is doing it, then it's terrible!" Xiang Beiyue became more and more excited, and this topic seemed to have become a demon in his heart, and every time he talked about it, he had a seizure.

Xiang Bei took a sip of water, calm down! I must be calm! My little universe must not explode at this time!

Both men were silent for a moment. At this time, the waiter brought the prepared fish.

The sizzling fish is served on a large round iron plate, and the flesh is cut into slices but the skin and flesh are connected and sizzle in the hot iron plate. Under the iron plate is a wooden chassis that separates the hot iron plate from the tabletop.

"Come on, Master, and see what this fish tastes like. Luo Fangyi used his chopsticks to remove a layer of coriander and spicy sauce on top of the fish, and then picked up the steaming fish, revealing the side dishes under the grilled fish.

Pick up a piece of fish meat to the north and put it in your mouth, the taste is really good, and the aroma of the fish itself plus the flavor of hot sauce and charcoal smoke really makes people appetite. However, the spicy stimulation was too strong, and it was really unbearable, so Xiang Bei hurriedly drank saliva and pressed it.

"I'll give it a try. Luo Fangyi said suddenly.

"What?" Xiang Bei didn't hear clearly.

"Those emails are all in Chen Jizhou's office, and the public mailbox password of the unit is also with him, so I want to try it. But I can't guarantee it. ”

"Well, don't be embarrassed, just forget it. Xiangbei suddenly felt full of guilt, why did he let a girl take such a risk for himself?

"Actually, it's not that I don't want to do it, it's just that I ...... I'm worried about you...... Besides, even if you get it, how do you find the person who framed you?"

"This ...... I've already thought about it, and I might have to trouble you then. ”
