"Ding"

The doorbell rang, Xue Chen walked over to open the door, and Yulan stood at the door, but her expression was a little unnatural.

Zhang Lao, who was talking to me in the living room, suddenly squinted, looked towards the door, and asked, "What are you?" ”

"She's our friend!" I hurriedly said, "She's a good person!" ”

"Good guys?" Zhang Lao looked disdainful, and simply got up and returned to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Yulan walked in, glanced at Zhang Lao with some fear, and asked me, "Where is Xiao Xia?" ”

"She's a little unwell, she hasn't woken up yet!"

"Uncomfortable? I'm going to see her! After Yulan finished speaking, she left the living room a little impatiently.

"Let's drink the porridge!" Xiaoxue reminded.

The atmosphere in the living room was a little heavy, I finished the porridge, and when I was feeling a little embarrassed, Yulan came out and said, "Xiao Xia is awake!" ”

A few of us immediately ran into the master bedroom, and Xia Jing looked at us with a look of surprise and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"How are you feeling?" Xiaoxue asked.

"Would you like something to eat?" I asked.

"Can the body still hold up?" Xue Chen asked.

Xia Jing stared at us and wondered, "What's wrong with me?" ”

“…… You had a high fever and were in a coma for one night! I said.

"Really?" Xia Jing suddenly smiled, "Are you worried about me?" Ann la, I'm fine! ”

I felt inexplicable in my heart, Xia Jing was a little different today - her mood returned, and her tone of voice was no longer so cold.

Xue Chen hugged Xia Jing directly to the sofa in the living room, she drank the ginseng porridge brought by Xiaoxue spoonful by spoonful, and couldn't stop admiring: "It's delicious!" That's a lot of material! ”

The moment Zhang Lao came out of Xia Jing, he stood aside, staring at her closely, as if he hadn't even blinked his eyes.

Xia Jing put down the bowl and finally couldn't help responding: "Uncle Wen, ghosts will be scared if they are stared at by you like this!" ”

"Girl, do you have a way to help Xiao'er?" Zhang Lao asked bluntly.

"You want to help her survive, I can't help her! But if I just let her go back safe and sound and live a peaceful life, I can do my best! Xia Jing said in a heavy tone.

Zhang Lao lowered his head gloomily, and after thinking for a long time, he asked, "Can you really keep her safe?" ”

"The old man said that you are a man of great affection and righteousness, and although he has never met, he regards you as a friend...... A while ago, he watched the stars at night and won two calamities, one of which belongs to you! He told me, 'If you can help, you can help'! ”

Zhang Lao frowned, and said in a deep voice: "What you said is ...... Xia Yuan? …… He's alive! ”

"There are only two people left in the Xia family!" Xia Jing said with a sad smile, "In comparison, Zhang's ...... You're lucky, isn't it? ”

"Lucky? It's just that there is more blood, and the talent is withering......" Zhang Lao sighed.

"Don't be greedy!" Xia Jing gathered the thin blanket on his body and smiled: "I'll help you, can you help them too?" ”

"Them?" Zhang Lao looked at the other people, remembered the incident of last night, and said in confusion: "These young people, except for this girl, have no way." Why did you put them at risk? ”

Xia Jing said sullenly: "It's not that I want to!" Can I stop ghosts, but can I stop people? I think you know this truth better than I do! ”

Elder Zhang nodded clearly, thought for a while, and asked, "How do you want me to help?" ”

Xia Jing chuckled and said, "Half a month, it's good if the evil ghost doesn't eat!" ”

"Half a moon?" Zhang Lao sneered: "You are joking with the old man!" ”

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven!" Xia Jing replied disapprenously.

When Mr. Zhang heard this, he glanced at me thoughtfully. But my heart was shocked -- how heavy are the six words "do your best and obey the destiny of heaven"! Are there dangers we will face in the future that even they cannot solve?

Zhang Lao finally nodded and responded to Xia Jing's request. And she also explained to me the origin of Zhang Lao. Zhang Lao, whose full name is Zhang Wenchen, inherits Zhang Tianshi's family and belongs to the Taoist sect. He has been destroying demons for more than 60 years, and if it weren't for his daughter Zhang Xiao, he would definitely not risk the world's condemnation and do such a hurtful thing.

Now that he promised to help us with all his might, Xia Jing naturally would not lose his trust in him, and after lunch, he closed himself in the bedroom to meditate, preparing for the release of his soul at night. Before leaving, I learned from him that he had gone to the countryside to overtake others, and he happened to see me on a bus, so he put a seal on me. But he didn't expect that the seal couldn't completely suppress the spiritual power in my body, causing me to be unable to withstand the counterattack of the spiritual power for a while, and I passed out, and he also sent me to the hospital.

After lunch, I took the time to go to a neighborhood to look for someone.

"Thank you for coming with me!"

"It's me who should thank you for helping Xiaohu with this!" Xue Chen said.

"If I hadn't chatted with Xiao Ting yesterday and noticed the date, I almost forgot about it!"

"That's it!" Xue Chen stopped and said.

Xue Chen and I went to the door of a house on the fifth floor and knocked on the door, but the person who opened the door surprised us - "Doctor Zheng! ”

"You ...... Are you coming to me? Zheng Yanan looked at us in surprise.

Xue Chen and I glanced at each other and replied, "Let's look for He Xiaoqin's friend!" ”

"Xiaoqin!" Zheng Yanan hesitated: "You are here to celebrate her birthday?" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded, "I'm here to give her a gift for one of her classmates!" ”

"Then come in!" Zheng Yanan turned sideways to give way.

We walked into the living room and saw a chubby little girl with a head a little taller than Xiaohu changing Yangyang's clothes.

I suddenly remembered the conversation with Xiaohu during dinner that afternoon, and it turned out that the little girl he was talking about who didn't like to lose weight was Xiaoqin.

I took out the gift prepared by Xiaohu and handed it over and said, "Xiaoqin, this is the birthday gift that Du Hu asked me to bring you!" Happy birthday! ”

Xiaoqin looked at me and asked curiously, "Xiaohu, why didn't he come?" ”

"His dad picked him up for the summer vacation...... You wait! "I took out my phone and dialed a number that Xiaohu called a few days ago.

The phone rang for a long time before it was connected, and I thought the phone would be answered by Xiaohu's father, but Xiaohu's excited voice came: "Is it Sister Shanshan?" ”

"Little Tiger! I'm with Xiaoqin now, is your video good? I handed my phone to Xiaoqin, and at this time, Zheng Yanan walked out of the kitchen with tea.

"Thank you!"

"Is your friend better?" Zheng Yanan asked.

"I'm awake! Sorry for you! Xue Chen said.

"Nothing! Collecting the money is my business! Zheng Yanan said.

After Xiaoqin ended the call with Xiaohu, she returned the phone to me. I wanted to meet Xiao Ting, so I got up and left with Xue Chen.

After we went downstairs, Zheng Yanan suddenly chased after us.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

Zheng Yanan looked left and right, and hesitated: "...... You can see ghosts, can you? ”

"Are you in trouble?" Xue Chen asked bluntly.

Zheng Yanan was stunned, looked at him and said, "That's not it!" I would like to ask you a favor? ”

Zheng Yanan's busyness is related to a friend of hers. But because this friend of hers is not in this city, we promised him that after this time, we would accompany her to meet her friend.

At this time, I never thought that this friend of hers would be so implicated with me!
