"Mr. Lin, wait a minute, I'll ask the chairman to come over." Yu Cheng politely arranged Lin Ping on a remote sofa and staggered away from those "gentlemen and ladies".

"Hmm." Lin Ping nodded and said casually: "Get me an ashtray." ”

"Okay, wait a minute." Yu Cheng nodded, walked to the side of the eldest sister who was waiting to serve, and said, "Make a cup of tea for the gentleman over there and take an ashtray, he is the chairman's honored guest." ”

"Yes."

Without waiting two minutes, an ashtray, a cup of tea and a miniature smoker were placed on the coffee table next to Lin Ping's sofa.

Everyone in the room looked at Lin Ping with strange eyes, but Lin Ping didn't think so, and took out a cigarette and lit it.

The smoker was on, the smell of smoke was very faint and almost invisible, and the two middle-aged women couldn't help frowning and coughing twice, and looked at Lin Ping unhappily.

A young man seemed to be unable to stand it, got up and walked in front of Lin Ping: "This gentleman, can you please put out the cigarette?" ”

Lin Ping stared at the cigarette in front of his eyes, then looked at the group of people who were looking at him about two or three meters away, and said with a smile: "It's so far away, you shouldn't be able to smell it, right?" ”

"Maybe you're more sensitive to the smell of smoke and will be a little uncomfortable, but I still hope you can extinguish it." The young man said politely.

Lin Ping shrugged his shoulders and snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray with a smile: "Okay." ”

"Thank you."

With this little episode, everyone looked at Lin Ping with a little more disdain, and glanced at him quite contemptuously.

Yu Cheng pushed open a door on the second floor, and soon walked out again, followed by Zhang Qingshan.

Seeing Zhang Qingshan walk out of the room, the people below stood up one after another and greeted with a smile: "Mr. Zhang", "Big Brother", "Uncle", "Old Zhang"

Zhang Qingshan walked downstairs and greeted everyone politely: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry, I don't have a lot of hospitality, I have a little matter to deal with, please come to entertain you, take care of more." ”

"Mr. Zhang is polite."

Zhang Qingshan walked straight up to Lin Ping, took Lin Ping's arm and said with a smile: "Little brother, I'm really sorry to make you wait so long, have you eaten breakfast?" If you don't eat, I'll let the kitchen prepare it for you, and you can just say what you want to eat. ”

"You're welcome." Lin Ping also nodded politely.

Zhang Qingshan held Lin Ping's hand like a friend he hadn't seen for many years: "Yu Xi is upstairs, let's go over now?" ”

"Let's go check it out." Lin Ping agreed.

Seeing Zhang Qingshan unusually respectfully take Lin Ping upstairs, the group of people downstairs were not calm anymore, and they were talking about it.

"Who is this kid? I've never seen Lao Zhang so polite to people? ”

"It's just the hell, what's wrong with the uncle today? Didn't you hit the evil spirit? ”

"Is this kid the son of any family, he doesn't look like this dress."

Walking into Zhang Xiaoxi's room, I smelled a faint fragrance and some medicinal fragrance. The décor in the room is elegant and plain, there are not too many furnishings, and the only window is closed.

Zhang Yanxi's body was wrapped in a silk quilt, her face was pale and her head was exposed, and when she saw Lin Ping coming in, she sat up from the bed and greeted with a gentle smile: "Lin Ping, you are here." ”

"Hmm." Lin Ping nodded with a smile, walked to Zhang Yunxi's bedside, saw that there was a chair, pulled it over and sat down, did not avoid life at all, and asked, "What about just waking up?" ”

"Ever since I got this disease, I've been very sleepy, and I often don't wake up until 10 o'clock." Zhang Xiaoxi's tone was soft.

Lin Ping took out his mobile phone: "Coincidentally, it's exactly ten o'clock." ”

Zhang Xiaoxi smiled after hearing this, and there was a hint of blush on her face.

"Is there anything she's been with since she was sick?" After Lin Ping finished greeting, he asked Zhang Qingshan.

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Qingshan looked at Zhang Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi." ”

Zhang Yunxi took off a piece of jade from his neck and handed it to Lin Ping: "I have worn this piece of jade since I was a child, you can take a look." ”

Lin Ping took the jade and said to Zhang Qingshan: "Please avoid it and bring the door shut." ”

Zhang Qingshan still understands this truth, and hurriedly nodded and exited the room.

Letting Zhang Qingshan leave is not to do anything to Zhang Xiaoxi, but to worry about what will be detected when he uses his secret eye, so as not to cause trouble.

Lin Ping turned his back to Zhang Yanxi, put the jade pendant in front of his eyes, a light flashed in his eyes, and pictures suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was midnight, Zhang Xiaoxi walked out of the room in a pair of pajamas, walked under an ancient tree in the yard, sat next to the big tree and hugged his knees in pain, cried for a night until he fainted, and lay under the tree and slept until the next morning before being found and carried back by the servants at home.

Putting away the secret eye, Lin Ping handed the jade pendant back to Zhang Yunxi, frowning.

Strange, looking at her like this and the experience when she was sick, it is indeed very similar to the wind evil entering the body. However, most people will catch a cold or have a long-term weakness when they enter the body, but it will never last for several years. Even if the cold wind blows all night, the worst case scenario is to get a serious illness, and there will definitely be no such gradual episodes.

This is very inconsistent with the wind evil entering the body, but if it is other diseases, it is impossible to see the reason.

Besides, so many famous doctors have come to see it, if it was really other diseases, I am afraid that it would have been found out a long time ago, and it would not have been delayed until now.

Lin Ping scratched his head and thought hard, and he couldn't think of the real reason for Zhang Xiaoxi's illness for a while.

"Mr. Lin, do you see something?" Zhang Xiaoxi asked cautiously.

"Huh?" Lin Ping smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I-I asked you a few things, which may involve privacy." But you must not reveal it, and you must not ask me how I know, can you? ”

"Can't even say Dad?" Zhang Yunxi asked in surprise.

"Nobody." Lin Ping shook his head resolutely.

Zhang Xiaoxi bit her lip, thought for a while, and nodded: "Okay." ”

"Listen up." Lin Ping sorted out his thoughts: "That night four years ago, why did you run out and cry? ”

"You... How do you know? Lin Ping's first question made Zhang Tongxi stunned, he had never said it to anyone at this time, and even his father didn't know that he had cried that night, lying that he had fallen asleep because he was sitting there enjoying the coolness. He and Lin Ping have never known each other in their lives, how did he know?

"I said it." Lin Ping smiled slightly: "You can only answer, you are not allowed to ask me how I know." ”

Zhang Yunxi looked at Lin Ping with the eyes of a monster and nodded: "Okay, that day was the death day of the first anniversary of my mother's death." ”

Seeing that Zhang Xiaoxi's eyes were red, Lin Ping regretted his words a little: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked." ”

"It's okay, it's been all these years." Zhang Xiaoxi wiped away the tears in her eyes.

"You slept under a tree that night, did you notice anything unusual?" Lin Ping continued to ask.

"Anomaly?" Zhang Xiaoxi recalled for a while: "There was nothing abnormal, I just felt a little cold, and when I woke up the next day, I caught a cold." Later, the cold was cured, but the body slowly deteriorated. ”

"Strange, really strange." Lin Ping kept scratching his head, he couldn't sit still, he stood up and scratched,

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with it? ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, that's right." Lin Ping shook his head.
