Chapter 6: The Medium

When he got closer, Xiao Xia saw that He Fugui had a ruby stud earring on each of his ears.

I used to think that he was full of nouveau riche cheesiness, and I hated to wear a huge ring of pure gold on ten fingers, and the gold chain around his neck was as thick as a bicycle chain, and I never noticed that his earrings were so quaint, small and delicate.

It's just that the ruby doesn't know what the material is, and when it gets closer, the cold air hits people, and it makes He Fugui's face a little strangely pale.

"What stone are your studs made of?" Xiao Xia asked.

He Fugui took a step back, and for some reason Xiao Xia felt that he was a little wary, "Passed down from the ancestors." Is there something wrong? ”

"No, I just think it's beautiful." Xiao Xia knew that he didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask anymore, thinking that it was really an antiquity, otherwise how could there be such a thing with He Fugui's taste.

"Come into my room." He Fugui beckoned to Xiao Xia and took her back to the room.

Xiao Xia carefully talked about the events of the night, of course, hiding the fact that she knew a little magic. She peeked at He Fugui's face as she spoke, only to see that the more he listened, the more frightened he became, and sometimes he was in a daze, as if he was listening to other people, and he muttered for a long time before asking, "Did that female ghost say anything else?" What exactly does she look like? ”

"Mr. He knows that woman-man?" Xiao Xia was keenly aware of something.

He Fugui was stunned for a moment, and then said with some annoyance, "I am a native of Jinshi Town, and I have never been here, how can I know her?" Secretary Yue, your imagination is too rich, right? ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. He, I said it casually." Xiao Xia apologized, but felt in his heart that He Fugui's words flickered, "But this place is not clean, should we leave here?" ”

"No, I haven't won yet-" He Fugui stopped talking, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "I still have business, so I can't leave for the time being." If Secretary Yue really doesn't like it here, it's better to change to a hotel. I'll sleep for a while, and you'll decide. ”

When he said this, Xiao Xia had no choice but to agree, and seeing that his face was unhappy, he said goodbye and left with humor. She was so tired from the tossing and turning all night, and the new room was very sunny, and she opened the curtains wide to let the sun shine on her before she dared to sleep. Despite this, she still slept very unsteadily, and kept having all kinds of strange dreams, dreaming of Ruan Zhan's lonely and handsome back, which made her feel distressed, but she couldn't touch him; dreaming that you were being bitten by many vicious dogs in a wet alley; dreamed of a rope that kept trying to put it around her neck; Finally, I dreamed that she broke into a room and saw He Fugui sitting in it, but he had three heads, in addition to his own head, one grew on his left and right shoulders, each of which was a red woman's face, shining with the luster of stone!

The dream woke her up and she couldn't sleep again. Wanli said that she is easy to accept psychological hints, could it be that the events of the past few hours have caused any psychological shadow on her? She has always forced herself to be strong, but the current situation reminded her of the first time she worked with Ruan Zhan, and her heart was sour. Make up your mind not to think about him, but if reason and intelligence defeat feelings, then feelings are not true feelings!

Look at the watch, it's almost noon. Xiao Xia knew that He Fugui and the bodyguard were still sleeping with their heads covered, so they simply got up and freshened up, and decided to go shopping on the street first, and then change to a hotel.

Xiaoxia walks in the bustling city in the deep autumn season, feeling refreshing and comfortable. She didn't have any goal, just walked around, gradually moving away from the city center, and came to an old alley similar to the old town, and turned around, and her famous road addict began to get lost. But she is not flustered, anyway, as long as she finds a taxi, she can go directly back to the hotel, and it is not a big deal to get lost or not get lost.

She still walked slowly, admiring the style of these old-fashioned buildings by the way, and as she looked around, she accidentally bumped into a person. She hurriedly apologized, but the man ignored her and just cried. She looked at the visitor suspiciously, and saw that it was a woman in her forties, her face was full of tears, and the indescribable desolation and sadness made everyone who saw her sad.

"It's okay, she's just seeing her deceased relatives." A voice sounded behind her, startling Xiao Xia, she only cared about the staggering figure of the middle-aged woman, and didn't notice that there was someone behind her.

"A loved one who has passed away?" Xiao Xia repeated, thinking it was a local dialect, which made her misunderstand the meaning.

"You're not here to ask for help Liu-" Standing behind her was also a middle-aged woman, as if she was about to go out, because Xiao Xia happened to be outside someone's house when she bumped into that person, and she thought that Xiao Xia and the others were the same thing.

"I stumbled here by accident, what's the matter?" Xiao Xia was a little curious.

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to talk to Xiao Xia, "Do you see the bottom of the alley?" She stepped out of the door and pointed in.

Xiao Xia realized that this alley was a dead end, and in the innermost place there was a large house with a gray exterior wall, about two stories high, and the black lacquered door and windows were a little crooked inlaid on the wall, as if they would fall down at any time. In short, the whole house feels heavy and unsightly, as if it was built in an alley.

"The two brothers lived in that big house, but they both went abroad and left the house to their widowed cousin, who had been living in the country." The middle-aged woman is very talkative, but her expression is a little mysterious and awe-inspiring, "This Aunt Liu is a very good person, very good at calculating, she will help anyone with something, but the business she does is a little afraid of people." You see, in broad daylight, there are no children playing in the alleys, and everyone stays at home as soon as they get home, for fear of hitting something dirty. Alas, I can't afford to buy another house, otherwise I wouldn't live in such a gloomy place. In fact, this kind of business should be done in the countryside, and it is always bad in the city. If it weren't for the fact that Aunt Liu was so good, and there was no other livelihood to support herself-"

"What business?" Xiao Xia was a little curious.

"Aunt Liu has a skill." The middle-aged woman lowered her voice, "She can let people see their deceased relatives and talk to them." I have seen with my own eyes, she casts the spell, and the dead soul is attached to her, and what she says and does is the same as that of the summoned soul before her death, and no one who comes to her says that it is wrong, and everyone comes back with half a doubt, and weeps bitterly. However, she did this in secret, and always advised her guests not to meet their deceased relatives, so not many people knew. But even so, the neighbors thought this place was ghostly, and they didn't dare to go to her house. ”

It turned out to be a psychic!

Xiao Xia suddenly realized, and then his heart moved, and a thought rushed into his mind. So she thanked the middle-aged woman, raised her feet and walked towards the gray house at the bottom of the alley, ignoring the woman's surprised and disapproving expression.

Since she is a psychic medium, and since she has this ability, let this old man help her meet her deceased grandmother too! She also had a lot to say, but she didn't have time to say it. There are always many regrets in life, and it would be great if they could make up for it!

Squeak-

The wooden door let out a terrible moan, and it was dark and silent inside the wooden door, Xiao Xia couldn't help but smile bitterly, why is there always the same atmosphere in this kind of place?

"Anyone?" She squinted, adjusting to the dim surroundings.

"Yes." An old voice came from the staircase, and at the same time, with a 'click', several incandescent lights in the room lit up at the same time, so that Xiao Xia, who had just adapted to the dimness, closed his eyes, and it took a few seconds to open them.

"Got a stab in the eye, right?" An old man walked down the stairs with difficulty, "But there is no way, the guests are afraid of the dark, but the people who summon that world just want to be darker, so I have to block the light outside, but the lights in the room are brighter." ”

She was very short and thin, and although her Chinese clothes were old, they were clean and neat, and her gray hair was neatly combed. Unlike what Xiao Xia imagined, she didn't have a sense of 'supernatural', but was kind and amiable, no different from the old man who basks in the sun in the park every day.

"It's okay." Xiao Xia saw that Aunt Liu's legs and feet were not very convenient, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help. But as soon as her hand touched the old man, Aunt Liu said 'huh' and looked Xiao Xia up and down.

"Girl, let me tell you, it's human nature to be reluctant to let your relatives leave, this is the seven hardships of life." She patted Xiao Xia's hand, the palm was rough and warm, "But try not to disturb the deceased, if you are reluctant, they will be even more sad." Birth, old age, sickness and death, necessary in the world, why do you have to hold on? When you see the person you want to see, the sadness in your heart will continue forever, and it will only add to the troubles for them in that world, but I am afraid that they will have a worse life. Still don't see each other. ”

"I have a lot to say." Xiao Xia couldn't help choking.

"Alas, silly boy." The old man sighed, "Those words are useless, and the past can never be recovered." In that case, why bother with their peace?! ”

Is this how Aunt Liu persuades others? I'm afraid not many people listen to her advice. The soul has obsessions, why is this not the case for human beings?

"Besides—" Without waiting for Xiao Xia to make a decision, Aunt Liu continued, "You have black gas between your eyebrows, and the yang fire is cold on the outside, I'm afraid you have hit something dirty recently, right?" ”

Xiao Xia was startled, but she didn't expect to be seen by this old man at a glance. She didn't want to tell outsiders, but this old man seemed to have magical powers, which made her completely unguarded, and told the old man about last night's events, including her suspicion of He Fugui, but she still didn't say that she knew a little magic.

The old man thought for a long time before he said, "That female ghost is very fierce, if only you hid at that time and didn't mess with her." But now—" The old man glanced at the Jade Bodhisattva on Xiao Xia's chest, "Although your yang energy is weak, you have a relationship with the Buddha." Moreover, you are a talisman that is extraordinary in the ordinary, with strong mental power and mana blessed by external forces, there must be two people who love you very much to protect you. ”

Xiao Xia didn't speak, but she was so sad that she burst into tears instantly. Grandma, surely the person who loved her the most in the world, but she went; As for the person who added her amulet to mana, did he really love her? Why could she vaguely feel it, but couldn't grasp it?

"The best way now is to stay away from that female ghost, although she is fierce, but her mana is not strong, with this amulet, you will be fine." The old man continued, "But the cold air on your yang fire is not something that the hanged ghost can cover, I can only say that there are extremely resentful things around you, you have to be especially careful of this!" ”

"Is my boss—?" Xiao Xia was taken aback, not knowing that he was already covered by dark clouds, "But he can go shopping under the sun, shouldn't he be- or there is a problem around him?!" Natsu remembered the pair of earrings that were particularly beautiful, but made her extremely uncomfortable.

She had been through a lot of paranormal events, and she knew that this kind of antiquity was the easiest thing to attach to. What's more, He Fugui is indeed eccentric, what does he do, why is he always day and night, mysterious and secretive? Too much money to spend? She was so anxious to find a job that she didn't notice anything, could it be that she accidentally stepped into a trap again? This time, who are these things hidden in the darkness to deal with? Was she chosen to be He Fugui's secretary intentionally or unintentionally?

"According to you, your boss is certainly not a good thing. Girl, listen to me, stay away from him. The old man instructed.

Listening to people's persuasion and eating well, Xiao Xia Ming knew that he was incapable and didn't want to cause trouble, so he decided to listen to the old man's words. But she couldn't just leave, she didn't have any money, and she had to do it naturally. If there is really a problem with how rich and noble, she suddenly wants to leave, which will cause suspicion. She felt that He Fugui had no ill will towards her at the moment, so she thought about pretending that she didn't know anything, and after spending another two weeks, she would take the money and leave.

Deciding what he was going to do in the future, Xiao Xia chatted with the old man for a while, and went out to buy something to eat and send it back, and agreed to visit the old man in the future, and then left.

She booked a new hotel, and when she went back, it was already dusk, and as soon as she entered the hotel, she saw He Fugui walking impatiently around the lobby, and when she saw Xiao Xia coming over, she said sharply, "Secretary Yue, where have you been?" I didn't hire you to hang out. ”

Xiao Xia frowned, a little angry. Although she knew that it was inevitable to be angry when she came out to work, even Director Pan had never fallen on her in front of so many people, and now this rich man with a mysterious background who might be guilty of evil insulted her so much! But it's okay to tear his face with him, and there is an excuse when he resigns.

"Did Mr. He ever tell anything? You didn't hire me to be on call 24 hours a day. Xiao Xia said coldly, "Given that your schedule starts at night, the time of the day is my own." During this time, what I do has nothing to do with you. The constitution stipulates that rest is a citizen's right, and no matter how great you are, you can't be as big as the constitution! ”

She said it so loudly and justifiably that everyone in the hotel lobby watched in amazement, waiting to see how the boss would go crazy. He Fugui has never been able to gamble, how can he have suffered this kind of anger, and he is still in front of the public, his face is red with anger. was about to have a seizure, and suddenly he was stunned again, as if he had heard something, and then nodded strangely, and said to Xiao Xia, "It's always your working time now, right?" ”

"Please tell me something."

"Aren't you going to change hotels? If you change it, give me the address and you will do the rest. ”

Xiao Xia stared at He Fugui, seeing that his eyes were full of anger but he tried his best to endure it, and felt that something was strange, but she didn't say anything at this time, so she only told He Fugui the name of the new hotel, and went upstairs.

"I've never seen a little staff member so horizontal."

"Maybe there is something inexplicable about it with this rich man!"

The people who witnessed this scene whispered, but He Fugui could only hear two voices.

"It's really gone, your secretary is not an ordinary person!" The three-inch golden lotus who stayed in his left ear said, "I really haven't noticed that this woman with weak yang fire actually has a protective baby." Do you say, does she know it herself? ”

"Sure." The Tianzu in the right ear said, "Don't you see?" When she was angry, she had a very weak spiritual power in her body, maybe she could do magic. ”

"Then let's see if she's here to find fault. Hmph, no one can stop us now. The three-inch golden lotus snorted coldly.
