Volume I: Chapter 40: Silent Anger (II)
Xiahoudun followed Lu Baohua's family to his home, which was a high-end community located in the west of the city, which was very new and luxuriously decorated.
After getting off the elevator and turning left, I saw the gate of Lu Baohua's house.
Xiahoudun looked at the spell with red letters on a yellow background posted on the door, "What is this for?" ”
"This is the talisman that I put up with the Taoist priest before," Lu Baohua said impatiently, "but it didn't work." ”
"Of course it doesn't work," Xiahoudun sneered, "This kind of spell only uses yang to overcome yin, and your directional nightmare is not a matter of yin and yang." ”
"I don't care what it is," Lu Baohua raised his voice, "I don't care if you can get it done!" ”
"Okay, okay." Xiahoudun didn't say anything more, pointed to the door, and motioned for Lu Baohua to open the door.
Lu Baohua opened the door and let Xiahoudun in.
Xiahoudun entered the door and first looked around. The house is a three-bedroom apartment, with a good layout, as soon as you enter the door, there is a living room, and the kitchen, bathroom, and rooms are distributed on both sides of the living room, and there are no extra aisles. This means that the house is well ventilated, and even resentment can easily dissipate.
"Which room is for the children?" Xiahoudun asked.
"The innermost one." Xing Lan walked into the house, holding Lu Xing, who was still trembling, with one hand and pointing to the farthest part of the living room with the other.
"The innermost ......" Xiahoudun muttered in a low voice, thinking, there are usually two possibilities for this directional nightmare, one is that the directed person is contaminated with his resentment in the place where the directional nightmare remains resentful, and the directional nightmare enters the dream of the directed person, but this kind of directional nightmare is usually not so strong, if the directed person lives in the innermost room, the directional nightmare will be confused by the long-term breath in the directional person's residence, and it is not so strong in the dream, and it is impossible to leave traces on the directed person's body. And this little boy's situation is obviously not like this, so this is another possibility, that is, the resentment of this nightmare is in the body of the directed person, then they must know.
"I said," Lu Baohua saw that Xiahoudun was silent for a long time, and couldn't bear it anymore, "When did you exorcise evil spirits?" ”
"You won't say more, I'll have to look at it again." Xiahoudun continued to walk inside, walked to the door of Lu Xing's room, looked into the room, and saw a small sticker on Lu Xing's table, pink, which seemed to be a girl's supplies, which was incompatible with his room as a whole, so he wanted to go over and take a look. Xia Houdun rushed to the table and walked for less than two steps, then he felt that he had stepped on something under his feet, and when he looked down, it was a small thin metal rod about an inch long. Xiahoudun picked up the metal pipe and looked at it carefully, "What is this?" ”
"Give it back!" When Lu Xing saw the metal rod, he suddenly became even more frightened, broke free from his mother's embrace, and rushed towards Xiahou Dun, wanting to snatch the metal rod.
"Quiet!" Xiahoudun said, pointing at Lu Xing, who was rushing over.
Lu Xing was pointed at by Xiahoudun, only to feel that his legs were weak for a while, and his body was pulled like something invisible, dragging him to the sofa.
"What are you going to do!" Seeing this, Lu Baohua roared angrily.
Xing Lan hurriedly rushed to Lu Xing's side to see that he was not injured.
"It seems that this metal stick is the carrier of resentment," Xiahoudun ignored others and raised the stick, "Come out!" ”
As soon as Xiahou Dan's words fell, he saw that the metal stick trembled for a while, emitting a puff of green smoke, and when the green smoke dissipated, a "little girl" who looked to be about fifteen years old appeared in front of everyone.
"It's Yi Duoduo!" Seeing this, Lu Xing shouted.
"That's it," Lu Baohua pointed to the "little girl", "It's evil, quick!" Get rid of it! ”
Xiahoudun glanced at Lu Baohua's family, then leaned over and asked the "little girl", "Your name is Yi Duoduo?" ”
"Ah...... Ah......" The "little girl" tried to speak, but couldn't speak.
Xiahou was stunned for a moment, and then stroked the hair of the "little girl", "You can't speak, are you?" ”
"Ah......h
Xiahoudun sighed lightly and smiled at the "little girl", "Child, you are no longer alive, your grievances should not be left for a long time, go in peace, I will help you finish what you can't do in this world, okay?" ”
The "little girl" looked at Xiahoudun blankly, looked at it for a while, and then nodded silently.
"I'll send you on your way." Xiahoudun took out a spirit bullet from his arms and put his thumb into the forehead of the "girl".
Instantly, a golden lotus flower appeared on the head of the "girl", scattering golden light and shining on its body. After a few moments, the "little girl" disappeared with the golden light.
"Gone!" Lu Baohua couldn't help but shout excitedly, "Great! The little mute is finally gone! ”
"Yes, yes!" Xing Lan also happily hugged Lu Xing, who had a smile on his face, "Son! That dumb won't pester you anymore! ”
"That dumb ......" Xiahoudun turned around and looked at the excited family, and a wave of anger welled up in his heart, "It seems that your family knows that girl, don't you?" ”
"Acquaintance? What to recognize? As soon as Lu Baohua heard this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”
Xiahoudun sneered and raised the metal rod in his hand, "This thing should be an accessory on the bicycle, and this bicycle belongs to that girl named Yi Duoduo, right?" ”
The faces of the family showed panicked expressions. Lu Xing's body trembled again, and his mother Xing Lan hugged him tightly. Lu Baohua stepped forward and shouted, "You dare to talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will kill you!" ”
"Humph!" Xiahoudun glared at Lu Baohua with disdain, "This Yi Duoduo should be your child's classmate, right?" Because she can't speak, she has been bullied by your children at school for a long time, and she has no peace every day. The sticker on your child's desk should have been snatched from Yi Duoduo, right? And one day, the evil thing finally went to the extreme, he removed this part from Yi Duoduo's bicycle, causing Yi Duoduo to die in a car accident due to brake failure on the way home from school, I said yes? ”
"You!" Lu Baohua was speechless for a while, so he had to keep pointing at Xiahoudun with his finger.
Xiahoudun shook his head and continued: "Poor child, she is too simple, her hatred is not mature enough, she can't turn into a ghost to ask for your life, and she has no conditions to turn into a resentful spirit, so she can only express her dissatisfaction with her murderer in her dreams every day. ”
"Lu Xing is still a child!" Xing Lan roared at Xiahoudun, "You are not allowed to use the word 'murderer'!" ”
"And what words do you think should be used?" Xiahou looked at Xing Lan with a smile.
"Shut up!" Lu Baohua finally broke out, his eyes glared as if they were about to jump out, "You take care of your own business, we asked you to exorcise evil spirits, not to meddle in your affairs!" ”
"Yes!" Xing Lan also roared, "When you're done, get me the money and get out!" ”
"Then you're wrong!" Xiahoudun took a few steps forward, then sat on the coffee table with his back to the family, "The duty of our Spirit Record Bureau is to maintain the balance of all things, so I am here today not to help you exorcise evil spirits, but to help Yi Duoduo, who is a ghost and can't speak." ”
"And what else do you want?" Lu Baohua bypassed the coffee table, stood in front of Xiahoudun, and pointed to his son Lu Xing, "He is still a child, and he has only entered high school!" ”
Xiahoudun stood up, did not speak, but expressed the anger in his heart silently, and prepared to walk towards the door.
Lu Bao couldn't breathe, picked up the ashtray on the coffee table, and smashed it at Xiahoudun.
Xiahoudun easily dodged the ashtray, walked to the gate, and opened the door.
"Good work, Team Leader Xiahou." I saw two policemen standing at the door, as if they had been waiting there for a long time, and when they saw Xiahoudun coming out, they said hello, then took out their documents and said to the family in the house: "Come with us." ”
"Next there are two Laos." With that, Xiahoudun left.
As night fell, Xiahoudun got off work. Standing at the door of his house, listening to the sound of stir-frying in the door and the sound of his family talking and laughing, he was still thinking about the events he dealt with during the day, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, and he didn't dare to open the door and go in for a while. Thinking that sometimes the evil thoughts in the hearts of human beings may be more terrifying than those dangerous evil spirits, Xia Houdun suddenly felt very sad, and couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, the door opened, and Chen Xuan stood at the door and looked at Xiahoudun, "Why are you standing at the door and not coming in." ”
"How do you know I'm at the door?" Xiahou asked puzzled.
Chen Xuan smiled, "Listen to the footsteps and know it's you." ”
Xiahoudun also smiled, thinking to himself, even if he encountered all kinds of hardships at work, his home was still his haven after all.
"Come in," Chen Xuan said, and walked to the kitchen, "I'm teaching Xiaoling how to cook." ”
"Huh?" Xiahou was stunned for a moment, only to remember that today was the weekend again, and he shouldn't have brought a bad mood home, so he loosened his tie and closed the door when he entered the house.
"Let me tell you, didn't you see that just now, when Xiaoling put food in the pot, it was absolutely amazing." Xiahou Yuan sat at the dining table and talked to Xiahoudun.
"Say less!" Xiao Ling stomped her feet in the kitchen and shouted at Xiahou Yuan.
Chen Xuan patiently taught on the side, "You can't serve the dishes one by one, because there is water on it, and it will splash out, and you have to put it in one go." ”
Xiahoudun smiled and hung the briefcase at the door, then sat down to change his shoes, "Have you come down with instructions about the remnant spirit seal?" ”
"It's down," Xiahou Yuan said to Xiahouyuan while flipping through the documents on his phone, "Let's just say that it will be shelved for now, and it is estimated that it will be this time." It's being tracked down now. ”
"Don't talk about work when you get home!" Chen Xuan came out of the kitchen with the dishes, "Come and see Xiaoling's craftsmanship." ”
"Yes, yes," Xiahou Yuan put down his phone and said to Xiahoudun, "Come and see how this eggplant is doing?" ”
Xiahoudun stepped forward and glanced at it, "Yo! Done! This sauce eggplant is okay and the color is decent. ”
"Hey, this is fried oyster mushrooms, brother!" Xia Houling came out of the kitchen while untying her apron.
"Fried oyster mushrooms...... "Xiahoudun smiled bitterly, "It's okay, it looks like it's quite good." ”
Xiahou Yuan patted his thigh and laughed, "Sister, are you using soy sauce to stew it?" ”
"Don't talk about me!" Xiahou Ling crossed her waist and said angrily.
"Okay, okay," Chen Xuan cleaned up the kitchen and sat down at the dining table, "Xiao Xuan hurriedly went to wash his hands and eat." ”
Xiahoudun looked at his happy family, and finally showed the first heartfelt smile today, and the fatigue, sadness, and anger of this day suddenly disappeared.
