044, ghost baby
When autumn came, Lin Haoran had already been away for a month.
Although it took me a month to adjust myself, I still watched him from time to time, because the news of his engagement had spread all over the city.
Half a month ago, I couldn't help but call Wan Quanquan, after the two of us met, he promised me that he would definitely remind Lin Haoran of a qiē before he got married, and agreed to send me his news regularly, so that I know Lin Haoran's movements.
Despite this, I still have the urge to go to Lin Haoran, and every now and then, Kong Jiahang and Li Jianfei will appear in front of me at the right time.
Chen Peng also came to see me a few times, and each time he would tell me some jokes, but I didn't want to laugh at all, but I still accepted his wishes, and I knew that this kid was also worried about me.
In order not to let everyone worry about me anymore, I increased my work for myself, no matter what work I rushed to do, I could talk to five or six parties a day, I could make three volumes of court materials, every time I went to the end of the day, I would be so tired that I could only walk to the door, open the door and enter the house, and then leave a little strength to go upstairs and go back to the room, and then fall into bed and sleep.
Unexpectedly, the result of my "hard work" was to make all the people around me more worried, they would always pay attention to my actions, as long as I rushed to work, a group of people would come out to stop me, and when it was time to get off work, someone would come to the law firm and escort me home.
When Kong Jiahang appeared in my office, I was not surprised at all, I just glanced up at him, and then began to bury my head in my work again.
But I didn't do anything, just a while, the information in my hand was snatched away by Yan Xucheng and Cheng Hantao who came out of the office, and then handed my backpack to Kong Jiahang, "I'm off work, escort her away, we don't care where you go to play, but we can't let her work anymore." ”
In this way, I was taken away by Kong Jiahang.
The two of us had dinner together, and then we wandered aimlessly, and finally we couldn't help but walk to Wanda International Mall.
I looked up at the tall building, and I didn't know how to describe the complexity of my feelings.
"Since I'm here, let's go shopping, I just need to change a few clothes." Kong Jiahang took my hand and walked into the mall.
"You still changed it, didn't you buy a dozen sets a few days ago?" I tried to pull my hand back, but he pulled it back again.
"Who said that if you buy it, you can't buy it again, there are new products on the market." Kong Jiahang smiled at me.
I knew he was just making excuses, so I had to give up and follow him forward.
We visited several places in the men's section, and he didn't seem to be very satisfied with the products there, so we walked around and walked to the women's section.
When I reacted, I was already standing in front of a well-known counter, and I chuckled at the pink and white clothes, there were no clothes here that suited me.
"Xiaoxue, do you want to change your style, wearing dark clothes every day is also a kind of pressure on people." Kong Jiahang showed me a pink and white suit in his hand.
"No, this won't work." I immediately vetoed it, this kind of dress is only suitable for little girls, I'm almost three people, how can this be.
"Look over there." Without waiting for me to object, Kong Jiahang took me to a sports counter, picked me up by myself, and I looked at him with my chest crossed.
Seriously, it's really hard for him and Li Jianfei these days, taking me to play every day, but the city is so big, and the nightlife is just that, either watching movies or shopping, what else can be special, like a bar, Li Jianfei will definitely not take me there, so there are no new tricks.
Kong Jiahang chose a few styles of clothes for me to see, I was just helpless, usually I have the opportunity to wear sporty clothes because of work, this time he chose a few sets, I really don't know when I can use it.
As soon as he saw that I had no idea, he chose a white suit for me and handed it to the waiter to settle the bill.
As soon as we walked out of the counter, we saw Lin Haoran and Wan Chengcheng coming from afar, and my eyes straightened, staring at Lin Haoran for a moment.
He seemed to have lost a little weight, but he seemed to be more erect, and a well-fitting suit made him look more handsome.
It may be that my gaze is too direct, so that Lin Haoran feels my gaze, he turned his head to look at me, and we looked at each other in pairs, what a long-lost look at each other, a look I have been longing for for a long time.
But I didn't see the love I wanted in his eyes, he was very puzzled and thought that I was just a nymphomaniac who wanted to know him, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, Kong Jiahang glanced at us, and then asked me softly: "Did he think of you?" ”
"No, he thinks I'm a nymphomaniac." I replied softly.
"Huh?" Kong Jiahang sighed, put his arm around my shoulder, and turned my body 180 degrees, "Let's go." "With that, he left there with me.
As soon as I got home, my phone rang, and I saw that it was Wan Quanquan calling, "Hello, Assistant Wan." ”
"Miss Xia, you've been wronged."
"It's nothing, he doesn't remember it now."
"He asked me just now, and he said that you feel very familiar to him, and asked me if you knew each other before."
"And what do you say?" I immediately became nervous.
"I'm just telling him, you've met before, and they're still friends, but after he was injured, he couldn't remember, so we don't see each other much now."
"Oh, that's it. Thank you. I replied with some disappointment.
"Miss Xia, give Mr. a little more time, he will definitely not let you down."
"yes, I see." I hung up the phone.
Maybe time is the only way to solve a qiē.
As soon as I went to work the next day, I was called to the office by Yan Xucheng.
Cheng Hantao sat on the sofa with a straight face, I glanced at Yan Xucheng and pointed at Cheng Hantao, "What's wrong?" ”
"After taking a tricky case, Lao Cheng himself was angry." Yan Xucheng pursed his lips.
"What case? What made you like this? I tilted my head to look at Cheng Hantao.
"The case of property rights, but unlike in the past, it was all about fighting, and this is for giving up the right of inheritance. Headache. Yan Xucheng held his forehead with his hand and sighed.
"Renunciation of inheritance? So this house is very evil, right? I looked at the two of them amusedly.
"That's right." Cheng Hantao finally spoke.
"What?" I looked at them in amazement, didn't I, that could have guessed that?
"It's because of the problem of the house, so they all gave up the inheritance, and now it's a matter of asking the party who inherits to give a fee to the party who gives up." Cheng Hantao frowned.
"All gave up, still want money? What kind of renunciation is this? "I don't get it either.
"Yes, now it's a commotion, no one wants to give it, no one wants a house." Cheng Hantao pouted.
"Then it's up to the government, see if they can ask the government for money?" I sneered, people nowadays, when they hear the word money, they don't have any sense at all.
"It's not that problem now, the problem now is that they have commissioned us to evaluate the value of this house, but that house makes them say so evil, how can this be evaluated?" Cheng Hantao scratched his head vigorously, looking annoyed.
"What kind of house, it's really so evil, what is the situation?" I looked at Cheng Hantao, this was the first time I had seen him so annoyed.
"It's said that there are children crying every night, and there are usually children's running and jumping, anyway, it's quite scary, saying that there are no people living there." Cheng Hantao cursed after speaking.
This proves that this incident makes Cheng Hantao very nerve-wracking, and he can't do anything about it.
"Do you listen to them? Is there anything specific? "I already feel that something is wrong, if it is really as Cheng Hantao said, then there is something really wrong with this house.
"Yes, but they also said that they had already looked at it with an expert, saying that it was because there was a foreign object in the sewer pipe, so it made a strange noise, and it was not a strange thing, but now everyone doesn't want a house, and let the assessment, what is this called, I knew that I wouldn't take this case from the beginning, and now I have smashed it, and I can't push it out." Cheng Hantao's troubles are nothing else, just because if you do the assessment now, it is not too easy to do.
"Where's the house?" I leaned back on the sofa and looked at Cheng Hantao.
"The southern suburbs of the city, that villa area." Cheng Hantao sighed.
"Then we can only go and see, it doesn't work if we go, and we still have to call someone from the accounting office for the evaluation." I looked at them and raised an eyebrow.
"If you don't go, where to go, I will definitely push this case." Cheng Hantao waved his hand.
"Are you kidding? Pushed? If you can push it, it will not be pushed sooner, and you will have to wait until now? "I looked at Cheng Hantao with understanding, his thinking was not quite right today.
"Xiaoxue, Lao Cheng knows that you will definitely help, but he is afraid that something will happen, so he doesn't want to take it." Yan Xucheng patted me on the shoulder.
"I know, you, who are you looking for if you don't look for me for such a thing? Alright, let's go there tomorrow, nothing big will happen in broad daylight, right? I chuckled.
I understand Cheng Hantao's protection of me, but I can't bear to make him so embarrassed, so I decided to go and see, and if there is really something, I will solve it there.
When the next day when a group of five of us arrived at the scene, I realized that things were not as simple as I thought.
The evil aura of this house is very heavy, there is a smell of blood in the yin qi, and the whole house is shrouded in a layer of black mist, and the evil spirits here are really angry.
I immediately grabbed Cheng Hantao and asked him to leave first with the people from the accounting firm, while Kong Jiahang and Li Jianfei and I stayed.
When there were only three of us left, I walked to the door step by step, and after pushing my hand the door, I quickly put my fingers together, ready to unsheath the blazing sword.
After the door was pushed open, I felt a dark wind blow out of the house, and then we heard the cry of the child.
It sounded like a baby's cry, miserable, helpless.
And the sound was accompanied by the sound of messy footsteps, as if they were running.
I took a closer look inside the house, and it was an old-fashioned house with wooden floors, the kind that makes a "knock" sound when you walk on it.
I took a deep breath, now is not the time for me to be timid, I didn't look back and whispered to Li Jianfei and Kong Jiahang: "I'll go in in a while, you two are waiting for me outside the door, if I don't come out in half an hour, you will leave here, do you understand?" ”
"How can this work?" Li Jianfei protested loudly.
"Nope." Kong Jiahang resolutely opposed.
"There's something special here, this kid shouldn't have such a big evil spirit, there should be something else here." I stared at the room, fearing that a distraction would give the evil spirit a chance.
"That's not going to work, how can we let you go alone, no." Li Jianfei immediately stepped forward and stood beside me.
"Yes, I'm your assistant, and I won't let you do such a dangerous task alone." Kong Jiahang also stood on my other side.
I'm helpless, these two fools, now is not the time to be heroes, if all three of us are hung up, there will be no one to collect the corpses, let alone anyone will know about our death here.
Just when I was helpless, the door of the building suddenly shut, and the heavy sound made my heart tremble.
I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth coldly, it seems that our opponent really looks down on us.
I looked left and right at the two "comrades-in-arms" standing beside me, "Brothers, are you ready?" Our opponent looks down on us, so let him know what we are really capable of? ”
Seeing both of them nod, I swung my right arm with all my might, and the blazing sword was unsheathed, and the door opened.
As soon as we were about to go inside, a strong yin wind blew, and I immediately changed positions, let Li Jianfei to my left hand, grabbed his wrist, and waved the blazing sword with my right hand, and a wave of heat gushed out, suppressing the yin wind.
I sneered and looked at the house, "Listen to the yin spirits in the house, if you don't want to be scattered, come out and show up, otherwise, I'm welcome." ”
As soon as the words fell, we heard the child's cry again, this time so loud that it seemed to deafen our ears.
All three of us frowned, this was the first time we had encountered such a situation, and the enemy was frightened by the sound before we saw it.
Kong Jiahang didn't hesitate to raise the silver gun in his hand and let it go, and we were covered by a golden transparent cover, which weakened the sound outside a lot, at least it was not so harsh.
I looked around, and finally I saw a pair of blood-red eyes behind the slightly open door on the left.
I'm sure it was a pair of human eyes, because he was looking at us with some fear.
"I know you're here, and if you don't come out, then I'll go look for you." I warned him loudly.
The door on the left side opened softly, and we were all stunned.
Because it wasn't just a child who came out of the door, but a child who could only crawl on the ground, a baby to be exact.
I stared at the baby crawling towards us with wide eyes, and I was speechless, what the hell is this?
"Stop there and stop moving." Kong Jiahang immediately spoke up to stop his movements.
"Brother, how do you get this?" I asked thoughtlessly.
"I don't know." Li Jianfei replied honestly.
"He can understand what we say, but I don't know if he can say it." Kong Jiahang was also embarrassed.
None of us expected, so what can we do?
When I was in a dilemma, I suddenly felt the breath in the room change again, and the baby in front of me, who had just crawled on the ground, had already stood up, his face had a hideous expression, and his eyes were even redder.
"Be careful!" I shouted a warning.
Then, our shield broke, and the baby ran towards me at great speed, fingers slightly bent towards my neck.
I squinted slightly, and the Flame Sword stabbed at him, but I was dodged by it after two stabs, and these two short movements made Kong Jiahang and Li Jianfei completely leave my side.
As soon as I sensed that something was wrong, the baby's hand grabbed Li Jianfei, and I was so shocked that I waved it at the baby despite shaking my wrist.
What I didn't expect was that my blazing sword could not only attack at will, but also become longer and shorter with my thoughts, because my sword happened to pass the baby's body, and the baby screamed and fell to the ground, and Li Jianfei had been pulled away from his position by Kong Jiahang at this time.
I stared at the baby, the blazing sword in my hand pointed at him, and I was afraid that he would rise up again and do something to hurt us.
The baby was hurt a lot by me, and he slowly turned his head to look at me, and I looked at him seriously.
It turned out that this child was an abandoned baby, and he was beaten off before he was born, but he was unwilling, so he stayed here, he always wanted to wait for his mother and father to recognize him, but year after year, he didn't wait for anything, and slowly his resentment became heavier and heavier, and then someone came to live in this house, and that person was his father's other two sons, he didn't understand, why did his father not want himself at the beginning, but wanted the current child, is he worse than them? The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and the more he thought about it, the more resentful he became, so this house would be haunted.
Especially after he learned the news that his father had died, neither of his two sons wanted this house, which made him even more angry, this is the result of his father giving up himself and asking for the other two sons, they can't even keep this house, what qualifications do they have to be his sons, they can't keep it, so let him keep it.
"There should be a reason why your father beat you at that time, did your mother marry your father?" I looked at him with a frown.
The baby looked at me motionlessly, but I got the answer from his eyes, "No." ”
"That's right, the matter of unmarried pregnancy was a very strict incident back then, so your father and mother chose to beat you, they didn't even dare to go to the hospital, they could only take medicine to beat you here, just because they couldn't talk about unmarried pregnancy." I patiently explained it to him.
The baby's eyes also became cold, he was angry, because he just couldn't understand why they couldn't give birth to him at that time, and finally chose to have those two unhappy children.
"Because they're afraid of ghosts." My simple answer.
The baby shook his head, and suddenly he opened his mouth to shout, but the cry was so high-pitched, so harsh.
"It's useless for you to be angry, is the qiē you did here to win glory for your father? You are wrong, you don't understand anything, because you have never seen the outside world, like a frog at the bottom of a well, you only know how to dominate this house, do you think this is filial piety? I immediately shouted at him, hoping to drown out his screams with my shouts.
Sure enough, the screaming stopped, and the baby looked at me in bewilderment.
"That's not filial piety at all, you are persistent here, but do you know, your parents don't know your savings at all, they just want their children to live a happy life, but what are you doing now, don't let them sell the house smoothly, they can't live a happy life, you think you keep this house for your parents, but you know what? This house was wanted to be sold when your parents were alive, and you are stopping them, do you think this is also filial piety? My unceremonious tone made the baby's face change.
He lowered his head, and after a long while, he looked up at me, and he was saying to me, "Then what I have been guarding for so many years is wrong, right?" They never remembered me at all, I was just a beaten baby in name, was I? ”
"Strictly speaking, yes." I answer honestly.
"Hehe, hehehe, haha......" the baby laughed.
I knew he would be sad when he found out the truth of the matter, and now his appearance was normal.
After laughing for a while, the baby looked up at me again, and his eyes were no longer red, and they were the clear, normal color.
"You've got it figured out, haven't you?" I asked him.
He nodded to me, I smiled, and nodded to him.
Then a familiar light fell from the sky, and the baby rose into the sky in the bright light, and he was relieved.
On the way back, Li Jianfei asked me vigorously: "What did you say to him, did he figure it out?" ”
"Didn't you hear everything I said?" I didn't have an angry answer.
"But I just don't understand, his so big resentment disappeared with just a few words from you?" Li Jianfei looked at me in disbelief.
"He figured it out, from beginning to end, his so-called parents never remembered him at all, and it was useless for him to stay here and keep this meaningless house, so he chose to start over." Kong Jiahang explained to Li Jianfei.
I gave Kong Jiahang a thumbs up, but I didn't expect him to really know.
Perhaps because of this mission, my relationship with Kong Jiahang has also become one step closer and we have become partners of mutual trust.
