"Is he sacrificing himself to fulfill Ai Xinyu?" Gu Yaopan's brows furrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth were sneering.

"He's a high-spirited person!" Tao Mengchu shook his head disapprerovingly, and casually covered the document and threw it on the table.

"I'm afraid so. Rong Wengui sat opposite the two and nodded, but his gaze swept twice without a trace on the distance between Tao Mengchu and Gu Yaopan sitting very close.

I haven't seen each other for a while, and there seems to be some tacit understanding between Gu Yaopan and Tao Mengchu that he doesn't understand, which makes Rong Wengui's heart faintly uncomfortable, although he himself doesn't know where these discomforts come from. Is it just because I dreamed of her?

"How's that painting?" Gu Yaopan looked at Rong Wengui and seemed to be a little distracted, thinking that he had thought of something, remembering the painting in his hand, so he asked.

Rong Wengui was called back to his senses by Gu Yaopan, but he just shook his head when he heard her question.

"There hasn't been much change, but in the institute's energy sensing room, you can sense a thin stream of energy injected into the painting every once in a while, but the painting doesn't change much. ”

Seeing that Gu Yaopan didn't seem to understand what the energy induction room was, Rong Wengui explained it to her again.

Because the various spiritual powers, demonic powers, yin qi, etc., which practitioners rely on, are too complicated, and in order to study these things, the research institute simply calls them energy, and the energy sensing room is a special room used to study the generation and operation characteristics of this energy, no matter what kind of energy, it can be collected in this room, and then its trajectory can be observed.

"Can you measure where the energy is generated?" Gu Yaopan asked.

Rong Wengui shook his head and said: "The energy sensing equipment is limited, and there is no way to perceive it after leaving the induction room, but the researcher said that judging from the attenuation of that energy, the distance should not be too far, and it should be within the capital." ”

After saying this, Rong Wengui was also very helpless, within the capital, it is easy to say, but the capital is so big, there are two or three kittens in their special affairs department, and they have to investigate the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?

For a while, the three of them were silent, Tao Mengchu thought about it, and then said, "Rongzhi! Do you think this will work?"

Seeing Rong Wengui turn his face to look at him, Tao Mengchu continued:

"Didn't we contact Chenghuang before? They have much more people to send than we do, so why don't we send a note to that side as before, and let them help us keep an eye on it, maybe we can get some gains." ”

Rong Wengui patted his forehead and said with a wry smile: "How did I forget that there is still this road, no matter what, let's send a note first, I'll let Sun Fu get it, not to mention, the last time in the small county town, it is said that the city god in the northwest ate a big melon, this time we sent a note to the city god in the capital, presumably they can also pay attention to it." ”

Seeing that Rong Wengui had something to explain again, Gu Yaopan and Tao Mengchu took the opportunity to leave, and after going to the research institute to see the picture of the child that had not changed much, the two drove around the street.

Tomorrow is Xiao Ni's birthday, Gu Yaopan plans to order a beautiful cake for her, although she doesn't quite understand why she has to eat cake, but delicious is the best reason.

And behind them, neither of them noticed, the little baby in the research institute who was originally grinning happily and happily suddenly showed a trace of strange mockery.

July 14

This day is not a good day for the people who are particular, although it is an important day to worship the ancestors, but the vast majority of people will be cautious in their words and deeds on this day.

The date of Gu Yaoni's birth was this day, and Gu Yaopan at that time did not have a very clear memory because she was not very compatible with this body, but she still remembered that when she was born, there was a thick yin qi around the entire Wengu Zhai.

If it weren't for that time, with her, a ghost, sitting at the back door, Gu Yaoni was afraid that she would not be able to come to this world smoothly. Gu Yaopan even remembered the look in their mother's eyes when she looked at the clock when she heard Xiao Ni's first cry.

It was a helpless look with despair, but their father was different, the man who had been smiling was happily holding Xiaoni, looking at her with doting eyes. This also made Xiao Ni and her father much closer than her mother for a long time afterward.

There was a ping-pong sound in the kitchen on the second floor of Q Gu Zhai, and when Gu Yaopan stepped into the door with the cake and Tao Mengchu, he heard the voices of Li Shu and Xiao Ni talking.

This woman dressed in red also chose to stay in Wengu Zhai on this day and not go anywhere.

"Why isn't Shanshan here?" Gu Yaopan asked, putting the cake on the table and leaning into the kitchen.

"She went to Brother Seventeen and said that she was going to go shopping with him to buy me a gift and come back. Xiao Ni said without looking back while struggling with the dishes on the chopping board, with a smile on her face.

She has known since she was a child that the time of her birth is not good, but her sister has never cared, and she will celebrate her birthday every year, even the year her parents left, and she feels very happy.

Li Shu helped Xiao Ni deal with the vegetables in the bag for a while, looking at her back that had gradually grown, thoughtfully.

The two sisters of the Gu family solemnly lit the incense and incinerated the paper money written on the Gu family's parents in the shop on the first floor, and then turned off the lights and went to the second floor.

Eighteen years old, it is Xiaoni's coming-of-age ceremony, in addition to the two sisters, Gu Yaopan invited Hu Qiqi and Tao Mengchu, one is her friend for so many years, and the other is grateful for his previous care, and moreover, Tao Mengchu has been living here these days, and he can't go if he is not invited.

As for Hu Shanshan, this ghostly little girl is a rare friend that Xiao Ni has made over the years, of course, she has to be present.

The light was turned off, and there was a candle like a flower on the cake with a rich and sweet creamy taste, and the pink cream on the cake was written a big eighteen-year-old, Xiao Ni's little face was red with joy, she closed her eyes, made a wish seriously, and blew out the red candle like a flower in one go.

"Dangdangdang!" As Hu Shanshan laughed, the lights in the dining room turned on, and everyone began to share the cake on the table with a smile on their faces, the largest piece was handed over to Gu Yaopan by Xiao Ni, no matter whether she could finish eating or not, she had to take Xiao Ni's heart.

Tao Mengchu and Hu Qiqi, two big men, watched the three girls messing around indulgently, not caring about themselves at all, their faces were smeared with cream, and they were filling their mouths with a sumptuous dinner made by Xiao Ni.

The night was so simple and beautiful, it seemed that everything about the Midyear Festival was isolated from this small room.
