Xu Yijin has never said much in front of outsiders, and no one who looks at his face will feel the slightest threat.

Lin Yan didn't have much impression of him, and it was only on the surface.

She only choked for a moment, and then continued to scold: "What are you? Which round to get you to speak, isn't it just a woman who eats soft rice? Do you know who I am? Neither you nor Zhang Zhouzhou have the qualifications to shine my shoes. ”

Chen Xianjing's face turned blue and purple, and she walked to the side and called the maid, and she didn't know what she said in a low voice.

I stood behind Xu Yijin and couldn't see his expression clearly.

I heard him sneer: "Ho." ”

Then, standing slowly one step away from Lin Yan, I couldn't see his face, but I could see that there were red blood on the back of his neck.

He was full of anger.

"What the are you going to say again?" His tone was so light that people couldn't hear any waves.

It was the first time I had heard him say such rude words, and it was different from his usual words, but it seemed to be no different.

Chen Xianjing was far away from the maids, but she couldn't see the strangeness on Xu Yijin's body.

But I could clearly see that he was covered in blood, just like he had been on the mountain that night.

Lin Yan didn't know what she saw, her delicate eyes suddenly rounded, and she stepped back step by step.

She pointed at Xu Yijin, waving her two hands in the air, and she shouted loudly: "Come on, come on, come on, there are ghosts, there are ghosts!" ”

My heart jumped suddenly, and I subconsciously stared at Xu Yijin.

Fortunately, he didn't have much to do.

I picked up Xu Yijin's coat on the sofa, stood on tiptoe from behind, and draped it over his body.

The coat just hid all the strange places on his body.

Xu Yijin was stunned, turned his head slightly to look at me with the corner of his eye, but he still refused to look at me with a straight face.

I tried to walk in front of him, but he grabbed my wrist and said, "Don't look, it will scare you." ”

I couldn't see anything from the side of my face, but my originally fair face had turned iron blue at this moment, and corpse spots and blood streaks covered the entire neck.

It's a bit like the zombies in the movie.

I clenched my fingers subconsciously, knowing that he didn't want people to see what he was now, so I stopped looking at him and looked away at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan retreated all the way back until her back was against the wall and there was no way to retreat, then she slowly curled up in the corner of the wall, shouting: "You guys get rid of this monster!" Let him go! ”

Chen Xianjing was far away from those servants, and although she couldn't see Xu Yijin's strange appearance, she could hear Lin Yan's shouting.

She just wanted to ask the servants around her to come over and take a look, when Liu Shichen and my father suddenly came back.

They looked out the door.

Liu Shichen walked in front, he was still talking about something, but when he caught a glimpse of me and Xu Yijin, his steps stopped.

He quietly stood at the door, the door of Liu's house was divided into two, and only one door was opened at this time, he was much taller than Zhang Shicheng, so he blocked my father's sight.

"Why did it stop all of a sudden?" My dad couldn't see it, and I couldn't see him, but I could hear his voice coming in.

Liu Shichen traced Xu Yijin's face over and over again with his eyes, and said behind him: "I still have something to tell you, you go to the garden and wait for me first." ”

Zhang Shicheng did not doubt him, answered the call, and left.

Chen Xianjing stood not far from us and said, "Shichen, take a look, Lin Yan, this kid has been talking nonsense, is something wrong?" ”

I was a little nervous.

Others don't know why Lin Yan is suddenly like this, but I understand.

Liu Shichen obviously found out the clue, in case he poked out Xu Yijin's matter, I am afraid that the yang world will not be able to accommodate Xu Yijin.

But he didn't.

He just looked at Xu Yijin for a while, and then turned his eyes to look at Lin Yan, who was a little crazy, and called a servant to come over and ask the servant to send Lin Yan back to Lin's house.

The maid should have walked in front of Lin Yan in small steps, at this time she focused on Lin Yan, who was half crazy and half stupid, but she didn't have the energy to pay attention to Xu Yijin.

The maid looked to be in her thirties, with thick shoulders and a round waist, and was more than 1.7 meters tall, so she easily carried Lin Yan out of the door.

Lin Yan originally wanted to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, when she saw Xu Yijin, she choked back again.

When a farce ended, Chen Xianjing breathed a sigh of relief, and said as she walked this way: "I don't know if there is something wrong with Lin Yan's child." ”

Liu Shichen looked at Xu Yijin, who was full of anger, his phoenix eyes were slightly squinted, and he suddenly walked towards Chen Xianjing, intercepting Chen Xianjing's steps that were originally going to come over.

His voice made people unable to hear joy and anger: "You are too indulgent to Lin Yan, if she comes to make trouble in the future, she will directly let the security guard send her away." ”

"Look at what you said, it was originally our family who canceled the marriage contract first, it was our fault, you should be kind to Lin Yan's child."

"I see." Liu Shichen reminded: "Usually at this time, you are ready to practice yoga. ”

Chen Xianjing glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and suddenly said, "If you don't say it, I forgot it." ”

She asked the servant to fetch the mat and clothes, and went upstairs on her own.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to say to me: "Zhou Zhou, you just treat this as your own home, you don't have to be polite." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as Chen Xian Jing left, those servants did not give orders, and they would not come easily, they all stood a few meters away, cleaning up what should be cleaned up, cleaning what should be cleaned, and those who should cook were busy in the kitchen.

Liu Shichen looked at Xu Yijin.

And the latter stared at him without changing his face.

"This is what you are?" Liu Shichen asked nonchalantly.

It's like discussing today's weather.

Xu Yijin took an orange from the fruit bowl on the coffee table, peeled off the peel, and handed it to me.

He watched me put the flesh of the orange into my mouth and chew it in small bites, before answering Liu Shichen's previous question: "I don't even remember my true appearance." In short, it won't be better than it is now. ”

"How did it suddenly turn out like this?"

"It's not perfect." Xu Yijin said: "When you can't restrain your ghost nature, it's common for your skin and flesh to fester. ”

"Do you have a fly in the ointment too?"

The corners of Liu Shichen's meager lips rose upward, but he didn't mean to gloat.

I was a little surprised that the two of them were able to talk about something calmly.

But it was expected.

Xu Yijin and Liu Shichen do not have any suspicions and contradictions in general, I am afraid that the biggest dispute is me and the child in my belly.

Putting these aside, the two of them are the best in the world, and they are essentially one type of people.

Liu Shichen put his eyes on me for a while, and I felt it, but I just turned my head and didn't look at him.

He only looked at me for a moment, then slowly withdrew his gaze, stood there for a while, and said slightly after a long time: "Uncle Zhang is still waiting for me in the garden, I'll go find him first." ”

When he left, the living room was empty.

After Xu Yijin calmed down, the abnormalities on his body were gradually fading, but his complexion was porcelain white, and the protruding green tendons and bloodshots on his skin were still eye-catching.

He tilted his head slightly, and I could see his face clearly.

At a glance, it is not much better than those things with hideous features and fangs.

His current appearance is between handsome and infiltrating, faintly looking like a ghost and a demon. Although the face is a little scary, it does not affect the facial features.

"You have murderous intent towards Lin Yan, don't you?" I asked in a whisper.

Xu Yijin did not deny it.

The last time he was in the mountains, he was like that.

If it had been before, Lin Yan's words, he would not have taken them to heart at all.

happened to Xiaohong in an accident, and he looked no different from usual, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

But I know that he is uncomfortable.

I don't remember how long ago, Xu Yijin once told me that more often than not, he regarded Xiaohong as a close friend, as a trustworthy right and left hand.

I stretched out my hand and gently wrapped my hand around his back, Xu Yijin's body was visibly stunned, but it was only a few seconds, and he quickly regained his composure.

"What did you mean when you told Liu Shichen before that you couldn't restrain your ghost nature?" I asked, resting my chin on his shoulder.

"Ghosts are inhuman, and the reason why the things you see are scary is because they are inhuman, and they can't contain the evil qi in their bodies."

"What about you?"

"If I can't even control my evil spirits, won't I be no different from them."

I laughed and said, "Nonsense, aren't you going to confiscate it now?" ”

"Today is the exception."

"And what about last time?"

"It's the exception."

……

When Xu Yijin couldn't see anything unusual, we said goodbye to Liu Chengping and Chen Xianjing.

As soon as I went out, I ran into Zhang Shicheng and Liu Shichen, who wanted to enter the door.

When my dad saw us coming out, he didn't go in, but stood at the door and said, "I just ran into us, so I won't go in anymore to bother, Shichen, let's go back first." ”

As he spoke, he touched me with his elbow.

I understood in my heart, and said to Liu Shichen with a smile: "Senior Shichen, see you next time." ”

Xu Yijin on the side squinted.

Liu Shichen nodded and sent us out of the small garden in the villa.

My dad picked the words and said, "Just send it here, if you don't dislike it, come to our house next time." ”

Liu Shichen said "um".

Zhang Shicheng went back in a car alone.

And Xu Yijin and I got into Uncle Li's car.

After getting in the car, Uncle Li wanted to drive, but I suddenly remembered something and stopped him.

Immediately after, he rolled down the window and said to the man outside the car, "I have one more thing." ”

Liu Shichen didn't ask me to get out of the car, just stood outside the car, bowed his head slightly, and smiled at me in the car: "What's the matter?" ”

"About Luo Qing and Guo Qiang."

There was a slight change in the expression on his face.

But soon, he followed my words without changing his face: "You want me to send Guo Qiang to prison?" ”

"Shouldn't it? Guo Qiang beat people first, and now that you have bailed him out, he may do some other extreme acts in the future, do you want to protect him every time? ”

Liu Shichen pursed his lower lip and said without much reaction: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

I was a little surprised, but I didn't show it.

I thought that he would more or less use Guo Qiang's matter to tell me some conditions, or insist on refusing to send Guo Qiang into the bureau.

I didn't expect him to agree so quickly.

Thinking about it, Liu Shichen doesn't seem to be an unreasonable person all along.

On the contrary, the outside world unanimously has a good evaluation of him.

It's just that from the day he beat him and detained me, my impression of him has formed a solid state.

"Thank you." I say.

He only smiled crookedly, as gentle as a warm spring breeze, and I almost sank into his eyes.

Xu Yijin, who was beside me, coughed dryly twice, and then my thoughts were brought back.

He asked Uncle Li to close the car window, and Uncle Li didn't drive until Liu Shichen was almost out of sight.

As the days went by, I watched my belly get bigger and bigger, and labor was just a few days away.

I was afraid that something would happen to me or I would give birth early, so I was admitted to the hospital half a month before my due date.

During the period of hospitalization, Zhang Shicheng did not come a few times in total, but Luo Qing took Meng Minghao here every day.

Xu Yijin didn't know if he was particularly busy during this time, and he hadn't shown up a few times.

He only told me that he would be there on the day of the birth.

There are still a few days before the due date, but he always doesn't see anyone for three days.

I always felt an indescribable fear.

Even if I have a marriage certificate with him, and the status of husband and wife is recognized by the law, he is not a living person after all, and the marriage certificate becomes dispensable.

Today, Luo Qing and Meng Minghao stepped on the spot as usual, Luo Qing looked around the ward, and then sat down on the edge of my bed, took an apple from the fruit basket on the bedside table, peeled the apple with a knife, and asked, "The one in your family is not here today?" ”

She was talking about Xu Yijin.

I nodded.

"This can't be done, you're about to give birth, and he can't see anyone all day long, what can be more important than his wife and children?"

"Maybe the company can't leave."

Luo Qing didn't say anything more, just put the peeled apple in my hand and took out a tissue to wipe his hands.

Meng Minghao, who came all the way with Luo Qing, stood there and hesitated for a long time before he pulled a chair and sat down, and said, "Zhang Zhouzhou, there has been restlessness in the Daomen these days. ”

I glanced at him and thought it was none of my business, but I asked anyway, "What's going on?" ”

Luo Qing probably hadn't heard him say it either, and he also looked at Meng Minghao at this time.

"Since Zhou Mingchuan's death, Changsheng Mountain has changed hands."

"I know."

"The new lord of Changsheng Mountain has sent all the Taoist priests on the mountain down the mountain." He choked up and didn't continue.

I didn't like to talk halfway, so I took the initiative to ask, "And then?" Why are you all going down? ”

The sparkle in Meng Minghao's eyes deepened, and he only listened to him say word by word: "All the Taoist priests in Changsheng Mountain are coming for Xu Yijin this time. ”

Hearing the familiar name, I couldn't help but pause, and hurriedly asked, "Rushing to Xu Yijin?" What does that mean? ”
