Han Jie is going to do an internship in the summer and is also facing the problem of renting a house. On the car back to the provincial capital, she brought it up.

I hurriedly said, "Then let's go together!" Why spend an extra amount of rent? ”

Han Jie was still hesitating and said, "The place where I interned was in Dongcheng District, and you were a little farther away." Besides, I haven't agreed to live with you yet! ”

I didn't want to give up easily, and said, "Anyway, you don't have a place to stay tonight, so go to my place for one night first, experience it and then make a decision!" ”

Han Jie really came to stay for one night, but the next day she frowned and said that she was very dissatisfied, and found a lot of faults. She said the room was lifeless and I should give it a complete makeover. I hurriedly asked her how to transform it?

"First of all, there is not enough light in this room, the walls are too dark, and they have to be repainted!" She pointed, "There are too few warm things in the room, we have to change them!" Then she said that the bedding was still the same color I used in the school dormitory, and that it had to be changed. In the end, she also said that I don't have any art here, and I should put some art.

I said, "I don't know about art, since you're good at it, you can help me pick some!" ”

So, the two of us spent a few days shopping around home improvement stores, and also looked at fabrics and flea markets on the Internet. I saw Han Jie's positive energy of carefully selecting and comparing there, and I couldn't help but smile secretly: "Hehe, you are usually at the mercy of me, but now it's my turn to set a trap for you!" "The more interested she is in revamping my room, the more likely she is to stay in the end.

Han Jie also went to the landlady to say hello and ask her opinion. The old lady thought it was too much to repaint the walls, and she was worried about the smell. So Han Jie pulled me to see the wallpaper again, and finally chose the one she liked the most, and the two of them worked together to paste all four walls.

In addition, she picked all the fabrics in the room: curtains, tablecloths, bed sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases, and even a small rug. I asked her what she could do with such a small piece of rug.

"When I come here occasionally on weekends, I can sit on the carpet in the morning, drink coffee, watch TV, and enjoy the lazy feeling of my free time," she says. ”

Later, in order to realize this small luxury, Han Jie specially bought a coffee table to match the color of the carpet, and also bought a coffee machine to come back to make coffee. The last thing in the room was a few paintings she had picked, all old ones bought at an online flea market, very cheap, and the artist was unknown. But she said it was interesting, so she bought it and hung it on the wall.

After tossing for a week, Han Jie looked at the new room and finally nodded with satisfaction, and said to me: "This kind of room is like that, you can treat it as a small home!" ”

As soon as I heard this, I asked while the iron was hot: "This small home is decorated according to your aesthetic taste, are you still willing to move out?" ”

Han Jie suddenly came to her senses at this time and shouted, "Oh, it turns out that you were playing this wishful thinking from the beginning!" Then she grabbed the pillow and tried to beat me, and I was not to be outdone, and the new pair of pillows I bought died in this fierce battle. The two of them chased and fought until the end, and I hugged her and rolled her onto the bed, ending the "fight" with a passionate entanglement and collision.

At the same time that Han Jie officially moved into my small home, I ushered in another good news: my salary in Yuanbaolou also increased with my promotion: 3,000 a month. Coupled with the salary I received at the cake shop, my income has increased greatly and is stable. All this makes me feel that I have lived happily ever before!

However, just after two or three months of this happy day, a nasty guy that I had almost forgotten about jumped out and brought a little wave to my life.

One day, when I was making cakes in the cake shop, a long-lost phone call came in: He Liping! I was stunned for a moment, but I took it anyway.

"I heard you graduated?"

"Hmm."

"A licensed chef?"

"Yes."

"Where do you work now?"

"A cake shop."

"How's the treatment?"

"Okay."

"Where do you live now?"

"Vast neighborhood."

"Staying with your girlfriend?"

"Hmm."

"Very good!"

Just chatted a few words without embarrassment, and the mustache never mentioned the incident at the Lido nightclub, and I didn't ask, both of them seemed to be deliberately avoiding, as if they had forgotten the previous dispute. But the mustache made this call, and it was certainly not just for small talk.

He was silent for a moment, then finally got to the point: "I have a tricky problem right now, so I called and asked if you were free lately?" ”

"What's the problem?"

"Xiao Jiuhe!"

"Xiao Jiuhe?"

When I heard the name, my tone of impatience suddenly became serious, and I stopped what I was doing.

"You've found him again?"

The mustache didn't give an affirmative answer, but said, "Do you remember the snuffbox I received when you first palmed your eyes?" ”

"Remember!"

"I saw almost the same snuff bottle yesterday, and this time another person was tricked, which is very similar to Shen Fei's father's situation last time!"

Shen Fei said by the mustache was the rich second-generation client who entrusted us to exorcise evil spirits in a real estate project, and finally caught the evil ghost. Because the mustache also made a bet with the people of Xuanqingmen at that time, I was more impressed by him.

"Did you catch the ghost?" I asked the mustache.

"Nope."

"In addition to this snuffbox, are there any other clues that Xiao Jiuhe did it?"

"It's gone."

When the mustache said this, his tone seemed a little helpless. He added, "Because of this, the elders in my sect are very cautious and unwilling to act lightly, just let me continue to follow up. In fact, a lot of people is not necessarily a good thing, it will startle the snake! ”

"What do you mean now......" I hesitated.

"Would you like to come over and help?" The mustache didn't wait for me to finish asking, so he asked directly, "I think it's better to have a tacit understanding with you, and you are also familiar with Xiao Jiuhe's situation." If we can catch him, we will split the bounty equally! ”

I thought about it and felt that this could and should be done. Regardless of whether the reward money can be obtained or not, a yin cultivator scum like Xiao Jiuhe has harmed so many people, and it is also a great thing to be able to eliminate harm for the people.

So I said yes to the mustache. In the face of Xiao Jiuhe, a common enemy, the two of us finally let go of our previous suspicions and teamed up again!

My meeting with Mustache was scheduled for the afternoon, and I had to take a half-day off from work with the cake shop owner. The reason why the mustache is in such a hurry is because the person who entrusted him just entered the ICU yesterday. So, the place where I saw the mustache again after a year was actually in a hospital.

A year has not changed much for a mustache. But he said that I was "fat" and matured. I gave him a blank look and objected to the idea that I was "fat".

I wanted to talk to him, but when we arrived, we could only watch him lie on the bed in the ICU through a glass of glass, wearing a respirator and all kinds of tubes stuck in his body. It seems that the situation of the victim is not optimistic.

The mustache asked the nurse and the family, but they couldn't get in. But even if you get in, with the current state of the victim, it is estimated that it will not help. The mustache had no choice but to pull me aside and take out a gadget from my body to show me. It was a small snuff box, different from the last time I had seen it, but the only thing it had in common was a thick black smell.

"This is what I found from Boss Hong." The mustache pointed to the ICU ward behind him and said, "He started to feel something was wrong three days ago, and then he went to the hospital for a check-up, and the results were not out at that time." The day before yesterday he found Elder Lu and gave us a commission, and I went to see him that night and found this snuffbox from him. ”

"He's always on him? How long has it been? I asked in surprise.

"He said he's been with him since he bought it, and it's been almost a week!" The mustache replied, "So I asked him for this snuffbox the day before yesterday, but I didn't expect him to be in the ICU early yesterday morning." Can you tell what the hell is in here? So powerful! ”

I opened the lid of the snuffbox, and there was a rush of resentment and an unpleasant smell inside. I frowned, sniffed slightly, and closed the snuffbox again. I might not have been able to smell the smell before, but in this hospital, I quickly had a comparison. It is a unique smell of bedding on the body of seriously ill patients!

I then made a judgment and said to the mustache, "It's probably a ghost!" ”

"Anointed ghosts?"

I nodded and explained, "The Anointed Ghost is a very dangerous and difficult ghost to raise. As long as it is close to the body of a living person, that person will soon get sick, and it will be seriously ill, so the Hundred Ghost Diagram gives it the name of 'terminally ill'! ”

"Then why isn't the ghost in there?"

"There are two possibilities! One is that the anointing ghost slipped away after entangling the person, or was taken back by his master. Another possibility is that this snuff bottle was originally a hidden ghost of the anointed ghost, and if you put this thing directly next to the victim, after a period of time, you will also get sick after a long period of contact! ”

"So, if Boss Hong gets sick so quickly, it should be more likely that the first one will be greater?"

"Well, I think so too!"

"Then this Boss Hong ......"

I sighed and spread my hands: "He's been carrying it with me for a week, and I didn't find out until now, so it's estimated that it's too late to rescue him!" ”

When the mustache heard this, he also lamented: "Then it seems that I can't get the honorarium this time!" ”

This guy has too bad compassion! People are lying in it and are about to hang up, and he is still thinking about that little honorarium? I looked at the mustache again with disdain.
