Morning.

Ye Xi is feeding Tiantian the newly bought dog food.

There is a strong aroma of beef jerky in the dog food. The scent wafted into her nose, and she unconsciously reached out and took one out of the dog bowl every day.

Squatting on the ground every day, looking at her with a very complicated gaze.

Ye Xi was uncomfortable by Tiantian's gaze, and finally put the dog food back: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just looking." ”

Every day: "......"

Actually, you don't have to explain it to my dog.

At this time, Ye Xi's mobile phone vibrate.

It was Bai Yitian who called, he hadn't seen him for a few days, and without him being noisy by his side, Ye Xi still missed him.

Ye Xi: "Hey, you're done with work?"

"Nope,"

Bai Yitian on the other end of the phone sighed heavily: "You may not know, in fact, my ideal is to be a rich second generation of losers who are spurned by everyone, who do not learn and have no skills, and who are drunk and obsessed, but I didn't expect to live a more and more fulfilling and motivated life, and I am really going farther and farther...... Forget it, let's not talk about these sad things, how are you doing lately?Is that kid Yi Yang always coming to pester you?"

Ye Xi told him everything about going up the mountain to see the master and going into the water to catch water ghosts.

Bai Yitian "uh-huh" for a while, but his heart was frowning: I have been alone with that kid for a while!

Bai Yitian: "I'll pick you up later." ”

Ye Xi was puzzled: "What are you doing with me?"

Bai Yitian thought for a while: "MMM...... Oh, a friend of mine and her grandmother have passed away, but I think something is wrong and want you to come with me to see what is going on. ”

Ye Xi: "Okay, since it's your friend's business, then I'll reluctantly help you take a look." ”

Bai Yitian couldn't help but be moved a little in his heart: Finally, he didn't say anything about letting me go to the queue to register for an appointment.

He said seriously: "After all, it's a funeral, and I don't want to bring strangers too much, so Yi Yang's words ......"

Ye Xi: "Don't worry, he has something to do and is going home, and he hasn't been there for the past few days." ”

Bai Yitian suddenly felt refreshed and the sun was shining outside the house: "Okay, then it's decided, wait for me." ”

After hanging up the phone, Bai Yitian praised his wit.

His friend's grandmother did pass away, but it was normal for an old man to die at a certain age, and he didn't see anything strange about it.

Half an hour later.

Bai Yitian drove to the small noodle restaurant, and after Ye Xi got in the car, Bai Yitian drove to his friend. The old man's mourning hall is located in a villa on Mt. Chitose, and the journey up the mountain is still a long one.

Ye Xi asked him about this friend in the car.

It turned out that Bai Yitian's friend's surname was Xue, and his single name was the word "Ning".

Ye Xi: "It sounds like a girl's name." ”

Bai Yitian nodded: "It's just a girl, I have played with her since I was a child." ”

He looked at Ye Xi as if he suddenly remembered something: "But don't get me wrong, we're really just friends." ”

Ye Xi: "......"

In fact, it doesn't matter what kind of relationship it is, you look at the road ahead!

Bai Yitian continued to talk about his "girlfriend".

The ancestors of Xue Ning's family participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and their achievements were impressive. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, some of the descendants of the Xue family chose to go to the sea to do business, and some chose to enter politics under the influence of their ancestors. Whether it is in business or politics, the Xue family is full of talents, and each has made a name for itself.

The branch of the Xue family that chose to engage in business, that is, Xue Ning's father and the Bai family, that is, Bai Yitian's father, have always had business dealings, plus the two have similar personalities and similar hobbies, so they gradually changed from business partners to real friends, and the two families naturally moved around more frequently and formed a deep friendship.

After Xue Ning's grandmother passed away, Bai Yitian and his father had actually visited many times before.

This time my grandmother was about to be buried, and my father couldn't get out of it, so Bai Yitian just happened to attend in place of him.

Otherwise, how do you think he can come out openly under Secretary Tang's 360° blind spot monitoring?

Hearing Bai Yitian say so much, Ye Xi still felt that he didn't get to the point: "You said that the old man had a strange life, what is going on?"

Bai Yitian: "......"

In fact, he just wanted to find a reason to meet Ye Xi more, where did he come from so strangely.

Bai Yitian planned to fool the past first: "I won't be able to tell for a while, you will know when you go." ”

After about an hour, they finally arrived at the Xue family's villa.

Walking into the villa, Ye Xi saw a black and white veil hanging high on the roof, pots of yellow and white chrysanthemums on the ground, and an old man's mourning hall was set up in the house. The whole environment was solemn and sad, and the sobs of many people could be faintly heard.

As soon as Bai Yitian entered the courtyard, a young girl with a black veil on her arm waved at him from afar and said, "Brother Yitian!"

Bai Yitian also waved to her.

The girl ran over, and Ye Xi saw the girl's appearance clearly.

With white skin, pretty facial features, curly medium and long hair, the whole body reveals the high-end style of an urban woman.

Bai Yitian introduced to the two: "Ye Xi, this is the Xue Ning I told you. Xue Ning, this is Ye Xi, is a Taoist priest. ”

"Daoist?"

Xue Ning's gaze became a little confused.

Why does this Taoist priest look different from what he looks on TV?

Bai Yitian understood her confusion and patted her shoulder very understandingly: "I didn't believe it at first, just accept it slowly." ”

Ye Xi: "......"

Is it so unbelievable that I'm a Taoist priest?!

Bai Yitian: "When will grandma be buried?"

"Grandma is about to be buried, you can hurry up with me to see grandma one last time before closing the coffin. ”

Xue Ning didn't shy away from holding Bai Yitian's arm and walking towards the mourning hall as he spoke, and Ye Xi wanted to figure out what Bai Yitian said, so he followed.

The mourning hall was full of the Xue family, and Xue Ning's father supported Grandpa Xue around the old man's wooden coffin to see the old man for the last time.

Ye Xi followed Bai Yitian and quietly leaned up to look inside the wooden coffin, only to see a kind old woman lying inside.

Ye Xi looked at the old woman from head to toe a few times, only to find that there was a row of tooth marks on the back of the old man's neck, as if he had been bitten by some wild beast.

After a while, the Xue family's grandmother was closed in the coffin and ready to be buried.

Ye Xi secretly called Bai Yitian to the side and whispered softly, "Do you know how this old man died?"

Bai Yitian thought for a while: "I heard Xue Ning say that her grandmother likes to climb mountains, and once she climbed to the top of the mountain, she suddenly had a heart attack somehow, and she left before she had time to eat people with the medicine she was carrying." ”

"Heart disease?"

Ye Xi frowned: "Then how did that bite mark on the back of her neck come from?"

Bai Yitian was stunned for a moment: "Bite marks?

Ye Xi was silent. Her instincts told her it wasn't that simple.

At this time, Ye Xi suddenly felt that someone's eyes were staring at her behind her, cold and stinging, which made people shudder.

She turned around and saw a black-haired, green-eyed cat sitting on a chair not far away, staring straight at her.

"Meow~~"
