Chapter 8 The Law of Survival
"It's late!" As he spoke, the old man grabbed the injured innkeeper, walked to the back kitchen, and shoved him into the blazing fire.
Like flammable dry firewood, the restaurant owner burst into flames.
With the screams, the restaurant owner quickly turned to ashes.
"Remember, if you want to kill the half-ghost completely, you must burn it with fire." The old man asked.
The cook in the back kitchen was also a half-ghost, looking at the old man in horror and not daring to move.
In fact, even Li Xian looked at the old man, and he had a sense of strangeness. At this time, he was as elegant and gentle as before, and he was like two people.
"Let's go." The old man said to Li Xian.
He knew what Li Xian was thinking, and said as he walked: "The half-ghost world is much crueler than the human world, there is no law to protect you here, sometimes if you don't kill other half-ghosts, you will be killed by other half-ghosts." ”
"I understand." Li Xian nodded.
He didn't feel that the old man was at fault at all, the old man had already given the restaurant owner a chance, but his malice towards the old man's daughter had been revealed. and if you do not get rid of him, you will do him harm.
This is the rule of survival in the half-ghost world!
The old man's body was still trembling slightly, and he still had that frightened expression on his face......
"Uncle, you are-" Li Xian was really confused this time, the opponent has been eliminated, is there anything else to worry about?
"You'll understand in a moment." After the old man finished speaking, he quickly replaced the void physical state with an entity.
Seeing this, Li Xian also brightened the yang aperture like a ball of light in his mind with his mind, and turned into a physical state.
A homeless man who was scavenging found that two people appeared out of thin air in front of him, and he thought that his eyes were spent, so he quickly rubbed his eyes and looked again.
And the old man and Li Xian have already gone away.
At the bus stop not far away, Li Xian found the old man's disgraced daughter.
As she waited for the bus, she looked behind her in fear, her cell phone in her hand.
Her frightened state and expression were exactly the same as the old man's.
"It's really a father-daughter connection." Li Xian sighed in his heart.
When she saw the old man, she suddenly threw herself into the old man's arms and cried like a wronged child: "Dad, why don't you answer the phone all the time-"
"Weiwei is not afraid, not afraid-come, let me introduce you, this is Dad's New Year's friend-Li Xian." The old man patted his daughter's shoulder, turned his head to Li Xian and said, "Li Xian, this is my daughter Lin Wei." ”
Hearing that her father's friend was present, Lin Wei was embarrassed to hug him and cry, wiped her tears, and stretched out her hand to Li Xian and said, "Hello! ”
Li Xian knew that when Lin Wei was crying with the old man in his arms just now, there was a large amount of yang air flowing towards the old man, and it was because of this that the old man was in a hurry to introduce himself.
In order to avoid absorbing Lin Wei's yang energy, Li Xian waved his hand apologetically and said, "Hello! I can't shake your hands anymore, I've just moved dirty things, and I haven't washed my hands yet. ”
Seeing this, the old man looked pleased.
It was only at this time that Lin Wei's expression softened, and she used her beautiful voice to tell everything that happened before.
It turned out that Lin Wei was a kindergarten teacher, and this afternoon she took a leave of absence and went to the hospital to accompany her mother for half a day, and took the bus here to prepare for a transfer...... Li Xian and the old man knew about the rest of the matter.
It was only at this time that Li Xian knew that the old man not only had a human daughter, but also a human wife.
But her wife is in a vegetative state and has been in the hospital for a long time.
Looking at the old man with a kind face who was carefully comforting his daughter, Li Xian really couldn't imagine that he had killed a half-ghost neatly just now.
The strange thing is that as Lin Wei's mood stabilized, the frightened look on the old man's face disappeared immediately, and he returned to his calm and elegant temperament.
"Don't worry, dad will go back and complain about that hotel!" The old man said to Lin Wei, "Since you didn't eat just now, then Dad will go home and cook for you, just invite this Brother Li Xian to eat together." ”
"Uncle, I don't need it, right?"
The old man patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go, I still have something to entrust you." ”
"Okay then." Li Xian no longer shirked.
…
…
The old man's community is adjacent to the largest park in Qianshan City, Qianshan Park.
The home is on the top floor, it is a duplex house of more than 200 square meters, standing on the terrace, you can enjoy the lush bamboo forest and artificial lake covering an area of hundreds of acres in Qianshan Park, and the viewing effect is excellent.
Although the house has been around for some years, a house in such a good location costs 20,000 yuan per square meter, to say the least.
When the old man was cooking, he asked Lin Wei to accompany Li Xian to visit his house.
The furniture of the Ming Dynasty, the official kiln of the Song Dynasty, and the ink treasures of some celebrities......
"What does the old man do?" Li Xian couldn't help but ask.
As a half-ghost, the old man once had a heaven-level rune, and there were tens of thousands of taels of yang energy stored in the bank; As a human being, there is such a big house in such a location, with so many precious collections...... If you don't have a very lucrative career, how can you do it!
"You're a good friend of my dad, didn't you know what he did?" Lin Wei said with a smile.
Li Xian had seen her twice, almost every time with melancholy, sadness, and fear. I finally saw her smile this time.
When she laughed, she had two shallow dimples, and two rows of snow-white teeth were slightly exposed......
Even if it is a person like Li Xian who is too calm and a little old-fashioned, he can't help but be excited.
"I haven't known the old man for long, only a few days—" Li Xian told the truth.
"Hmph, dad loves to deceive people the most, and deliberately acted in front of me as if you had known each other for many years-" Lin Wei complained with a smile.
Li Xian was a little embarrassed, feeling that he had betrayed the old man.
"It's none of your business." Lin Wei was very understanding, saw Li Xian's embarrassment, and hurriedly said, "I know that my dad said this because he wanted me to get close to you." He used to run a company, and his business was not bad, but because he worked hard outside all the year round, he rarely accompanied me and my mother. When my mom got sick, he was so sad that he stopped the company and stayed home to stay with us full-time. I'll tell you, my dad's cooking is delicious! ”
"Then I can eat more." Li Xian smiled.
"What do you do?" Lin Wei asked suddenly.
Only then did Li Xian know that she didn't remember seeing herself at all.
It's no wonder that when he was in the haunted house, it was pitch black inside, and he could see her, but she couldn't see him.
As for reminding her at the bus stop to beware of the three men, although she expressed her gratitude, she only glanced at him, and it was late in the evening, so she didn't really see it.
