The temple fair in Yukou Town is really unprecedented, the city is full of lanterns, and the tourists are weaving. On www.biquge.info streets, there are lion dancers, dragon lantern players, and vendors selling all kinds of special items and snacks.

Wu Xi was attracted by a stall selling flowers, the stall owner was an old man in his seventies, he put more than a dozen white porcelain pots in front of him, in the pots are daffodils, these daffodils are blooming brilliantly, the white petals are stretching outward layer by layer, and in the middle is the goose-yellow stamen, exuding bursts of fragrance.

Wu Xi thought that Wu Li'an loved flowers, so she decided to buy a few pots of flowers to please him, she asked the old man who sold flowers: "Uncle, do you have any other flowers here besides narcissus?" I want to buy a few more and go back. ”

"Yes, there are orchids and camellias, but they are all at home, and it is too late to move out, so you can ask this friend to help look at the stall, and you can follow me to the store to have a look."

"Xixi, Xu Xing and I are here to watch the stalls, you guys go." Ren Le took the initiative to ask Ying to stay, but Wu Xi had no choice but to leave her and Xu Xing and go back to his house with the old man.

His home is not far away, in a small alley next to the main road, Wu Xi was attracted by the flowers in the courtyard as soon as he entered the door, "Uncle, your flowers are well raised, how do you take care of them?" ”

The old man smiled: "Girl, I won't tell you, I used to be a gardener, so I still have two brushes for planting flowers. ”

Wu Xi agreed, squatted on the ground and carefully observed a pot of orchids, and said that the hollow valley orchid, sure enough, it is different from narcissus, and even the fragrance is so quiet.

Wu Xi tasted for a long time, but she didn't see the old man come out for a long time, she was afraid that Xu Xing would be impatient after waiting for a long time, so she walked to the door and called: "Uncle, have you found the flower?" ”

No one in the room responded to her, so Wu Xi opened the curtain and walked in, "Uncle, I'm in a bit of a hurry......"

The curtain of the inner room seemed to move, but still no one responded to her, "Uncle? Wu Xi was suspicious, she quietly walked to the door of the inner room and lifted the curtain.

There was no one in the room, just an old-fashioned wooden bed and a table.

It's strange, I didn't see the old man come out, but where did he go? Wu Xi turned around suspiciously, but at the moment when her head turned over, she caught a glimpse of a faint figure standing in the corner of the room out of her eyes, Wu Xi's heart twitched suddenly, and her fists clenched suddenly, with experience, she was keenly aware that this thing standing in the corner of the wall staring at her coldly was not a person, but how could it appear in the room of this old man selling flowers in broad daylight?

The cold sweat on Wu Xi's back fell, she held her breath, mustered up the courage to slowly turn her head to the corner of the room again, her heart gradually let go, there was nothing there, it seemed that that thing had left at some point.

"Uncle." Wu Xi screamed again, and was about to walk out of the inner room, but the door of the room slowly opened in her direction, and with a "bang", an unknown thing behind the door fell down the wall.

The old man who sold flowers was lying on the cold floor of his room, his hands curled up in front of his chest, his eyes wide and staring at the ceiling, just like the man she had seen in the hospital.

It was late at night when Wu Xi finished making a record at the police station, and Ren Le stayed by her side very righteously and never left.

"So the final conclusion is sudden death from a heart attack, right?" Ren Le asked her while putting on the coat for Wu Xi.

"Yes, but it could also be said that he was scared to death, because his expression was terrified, as if he had seen something particularly scary."

Ren Le shuddered, "Don't scare me." But Xixi, since you died of a heart attack, why did those policemen ask you for so long? I thought they were suspicious of you for something. ”

"They asked me to think carefully about whether I saw any suspicious people at that time, because according to the old man's family, he never had a heart problem, so the police still thought there was something suspicious about it."

"Then you were ...... See anything suspicious? ”

Wu Xi glanced at Xu Xing, who had been silent, "No, I didn't see anyone." ”

When he got home, Wu Xi pulled Xu Xing into the room, "His death is not so simple, I saw the thing that killed him, although it was only a glance, but I am sure it was done." Moreover, the appearance of the flower seller when he died was exactly the same as the resentful spirit who was pestering me in the hospital, so I think the deaths of these two people must be inextricably linked. ”

"I'm the same as you think, when you go to choose flowers today, Ren Le invites us to go to Yukou Town tomorrow to play, and then we will find out, today you are also tired, rest early."

Xu Xing opened the door as he spoke, but he didn't expect to meet Wu Li'an, who came up to the living room to pour water.

"Dad...... We ......" Wu Xi didn't know how to explain for a while.

Wu Li'an was stunned for a while, didn't even pour the water, turned his head and went back to the room.

"I usually lie a lot, but I don't play well today." Xu Xing's voice had a hint of schadenfreude.

The next day, when breakfast was eaten, the atmosphere at home was extremely strange, Wu Li'an showed a rare quietness, and never talked to the two of them, only taking care of eating by himself. It wasn't until Xu Xing and Wu Xi were about to go out that he called Xu Xing into the study with a cold face, saying that he had something to ask him. The two talked in the study for about ten minutes, and when they came out, Wu Xi found that Wu Li'an's expression had eased a lot.

"What did my dad tell you?" Out of the house, Wu Xi asked Xu Xing nervously.

"He asked me about my plans for the future."

"Plan?" Wu Xi was confused, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"It means that I have no plans to marry you." Xu Xing paused slightly, "What are you doing in a daze?" Get in. ”

The car drove on the road for a long time before Wu Xi eased up, "Then you...... How did you answer him? She stammered and asked Xu Xing, who was concentrating on driving.

"I said I'd be responsible for you."

"What?"

"I said, I'll marry you." He turned his head to look at Wu Xi, his eyes sincere and clean.

Wu Xi suddenly burst out laughing, and then applauded in admiration, "Director, you still say that I lie a lot, I think you are a liar." ”

Xu Xing stared at Wu Xi quietly for a few seconds, and then looked away from her face, "Don't say that, do you think I can still get out of the study alive?" ”
