Chapter 554: House (3)
Li Yun and the three were blocked from the door. The key was shattered, and conventional means were probably unable to open the door.
Li Yun could feel that Ma Jiayi had become one with this house, and there was no separation from each other. She is no longer like that kind of earth-bound spirit, she is an independent existence bound in a certain place, she is directly one with this place, the house is her, and she has become a part of the house, as if this room gave birth to a soul and has an independent consciousness.
Li Yun, Niu Haixi, and Kong Dongmei, as outsiders and threats, were naturally blocked out by the house.
Li Yun also saw that they were moved outside the house, and the broken glass in the house was actually repaired by themselves. Not only that, but there are also subtle changes in the furniture and decoration of the house. If Shi Juan could see the changes in the house, she would be surprised that the house had reverted to the way it was before the graffiti night.
Li Yun heard the sound of singing coming from inside the house.
It's not Ma Jiayi humming, it's the music playing.
The music has no lyrics, and the female voice that sings has a gentle and soft tone.
After Ma Jiayi drove away the three of them, she regained her calm and began her normal life. It was as if she had forgotten that she was dead and that she had changed in herself. She did not appear in the house, but the things in the house moved, as if there was an invisible person living in the house, and it was like a house without its owner as it had been when the owner was alive.
Music is playing, the steam machine in the dressing room is turned on, and the lights in the room are adjusted to night mode, which becomes incredibly soft and changes its light with the music.
Niu Haixi and Kong Dongmei both looked at Li Yun.
Li Yun didn't move for a while.
Ma Jiayi just wants to keep this house and live in this house. She doesn't mean to hurt anyone. And this room, I don't know when the Chen family and the Xi family will find it and deal with it. If this house has been vacant, then Ma Jiayi will not have any problems living here.
If he makes a move now, the only solution is to eliminate Ma Jiayi's ghost and make her soul fly.
Such a method is too cruel and cruel for Ma Jiayi. She didn't commit a crime, she was the victim of the whole incident. Her body was occupied by evil ghosts, and her soul had lost its home, which was pitiful enough, and he couldn't bear to ask Li Yun to kill her again.
It's just that thinking of Yu Li, thinking of the baby, thinking of black impermanence, Yi Xin, and what Yin Shikang's old ghost once said, Li Yun felt uneasy again.
Those words that are like curses to ghosts will always come true, and they always remind Li Yun that ghosts are beings that do not belong to the yang world.
Li Yun seemed to go back to a few days ago. At that time, he had no choice but to be a watchman, and he didn't know how many days he needed to monitor this ghost, and he didn't know whether he hoped that this ghost would not harm anyone, or that he would do it quickly so that he could free himself.
The three of them didn't speak for a while.
Zhong Chengfu didn't let Shi Juan take them on the bus, but directly called a taxi, took a taxi to the nearest funeral shop, bought something, and came back by taxi.
The driver who was called thought that they had just passed away a relative, and after greeting, he said sympathetically that this high-end community was inconvenient, but they ignored it. The four people were silent, and the driver didn't care, so he sent them to the funeral parlor and didn't leave. The car was parked right in front of the store. After they bought paper money, the driver drove them back the same way, very patient.
After getting out of the car, Ma Jiayi's parents rarely took the initiative to ask Shi Juan's opinion: "Does Jiajia like those clothes very much?" Otherwise, let's take down the clothes and burn them to her. ”
Shi Juan nodded, thinking that this was a good practice.
According to custom, these daily necessities of the deceased are burned together at the time of burial. The living always hope that the deceased will have a good life in the underworld, not only with a lot of money, but also with the things they used to and like during their lifetime. In ancient times, emperors and generals had luxurious funeral goods, and in modern times, the common people also have their own set of practices.
"It's going to burn, and it's going to be big." Zhong Chengfu raised an objection that was not an objection.
He estimated that his mother and Ma Jiayi's parents did not understand the value of those clothes, shoes, hats and cosmetics. He didn't know much about these things himself, but he had never eaten pork and seen pigs run. If Ma Jiayi's parents knew the price of those things, they wouldn't have thought of using those relics to make a profit, but they wouldn't have burned them as lightly as they do now. And those things, all kinds of materials, there are a lot of them. It's fine to say if it's in the crematorium, but now that they use a small lighter, it's hard to say if they can burn these things clean. Cosmetics that contain chemicals can be dangerous when burned. In addition, this is a high-end community, and it is definitely not allowed to burn in the community, and it is ...... outside the community
Zhong Chengfu looked at the four-lane asphalt road, the tall street trees and the green belt that kept it green in winter, then at the beautiful street lamps that had been decorated, and finally, at the fire hydrant on the side of the road.
If this is going to burn, will someone call the police?
Zhong Chengfu thought about it very realistically, and hoped that Ma Jiayi's parents would burn two clothes, but don't burn too many things.
Shi Juan and Ma Jiayi's parents didn't think about it so much.
The three of them walked directly into the community.
The security guards didn't stop them this time.
Zhong Chengfu had no choice but to follow.
After walking for a while, she could see the residential building, and Shi Juan subconsciously looked up at the balcony of Ma Jiayi's house.
At a glance, she noticed that the light on the balcony had changed. That familiar glow is the nighttime light pattern of the house. When she saw Ma Jiayi operating for the first time, she was silently surprised and sighed at the enjoyment of life of rich people.
Be...... Master Lai, they ......
Shi Juan paused, and subconsciously thought of Li Yun, but what came to mind was Ma Jiayi's face.
Ma Jiayi wore silk pajamas, coiled her hair, put on a mask, sat in front of the dressing table, and carefully took care of her skin. There will also be soothing music playing in the room. By the end of the song, Ma Jiayi had just finished her daily skin care work. At this time, she would ask Shi Juan to serve a small glass of red wine. After drinking that glass of bedtime wine, she would lie comfortably in the quilt laid out by Shi Juan, and voice control the indoor lights, plunging the bedroom into absolute darkness.
Shi Juan recalled in a bit of a trance and entered the building.
The elevator went straight up, and when it reached the floor, it opened the door, allowing people inside and outside the elevator to see each other.
"What's wrong?" Ma Jiayi's parents asked suspiciously.
Shi Juan's heart was pounding.
Zhong Chengfu snorted coldly in his heart, and whispered to Shi Juan: "They must have taken advantage of us to buy paper money and made arrangements." You'll see what they say......"
Li Yun didn't wait for Zhong Chengfu to finish speaking, and then said, "We're ready to go downstairs." There's not much more we need to do here. ”
Zhong Chengfu was stunned.
Ma Jiayi's parents asked, "...... that Jiajia?"
"When she saw you, she rested in peace. Where are you going to burn paper money? Is this the crossroads? Li Yun asked, not subtly diverting the topic.
The two of them nodded and said, "We also want to burn the clothes that Jiajia likes for her." ”
Niu Haixi glanced at Li Yun's expression and said, "That's wrong. These are all things outside the body, which are not brought with them in life or in death. Even if you burn it, you won't be able to let your daughter receive it. What kind of paper money are you buying? As he spoke, he stepped forward, looked at the paper money in the plastic bag, and nodded, "The paper money is not wrong." I'll teach you later when you burn it. Let's go down, we have to choose a place first. Although they are all burned at intersections, different intersections have different particulars. ”
Ma Jiayi's parents were immediately attracted by Niu Haixi's words, lifted their spirits, and began to study.
Zhong Chengfu felt a little weird, looked at Niu Haixi, and then looked at Li Yun and Kong Dongmei, not knowing what they were thinking.
Shi Juan's expression was still in a trance. She looked at Li Yun, and then at the closed door uneasily.
She always felt that there was music coming from inside the door.
This shouldn't be possible. Regardless of whether there was music playing inside the door, with the soundproofing of the house, it was impossible for her to hear the sound inside the door.
"Let's go." Li Yun blocked Shi Juan's view.
"Master Li, Miss Ma, she ......" Shi Juan wanted to say something, but she was suddenly shocked.
She heard a voice coming from inside the door.
"Shi Juan, where's my red wine? What about people? ”
With such a clear voice, such a calm and natural tone, coupled with the sound of music that happened to be interrupted, it was as if Ma Jiayi was in the house, just finished her skin care, came out of the dressing room, and didn't see the red wine on the kitchen bar, and then, she called casually.
Shi Juan trembled nervously.
"Miss Ma has already rested in peace, maybe she has gone to reincarnation, or she may stay in the capital for a while." Li Yun's tone was deliberately natural.
"Master Li, did you hear ...... just now" Shi Juan's voice was raised, and she cut off the second half of her sentence.
Li Yun frowned, his expression was a little stiff, and his eyes flickered.
His acting skills are not good, but Shi Juan is not a professional actor, and now she has no intention of observing Li Yun's expression.
"Hear what?" Li Yun looked away.
"Mr. Li, will you go down together? Come on in. Niu Haixi pressed the door button of the elevator and said a word inside.
Ma Jiayi's parents both looked over.
"Let's go." Li Yun said.
Shi Juan hesitated, but was pulled into the elevator by Zhong Chengfu together.
The elevator doors closed, and the speed dropped, making the house more and more distant.
Shi Juan didn't think about it, and when she got out of the building, she couldn't help but look back at the balcony window.
The light of the balcony has changed again.
The light went out.
It's like ......
Shi Juan shuddered.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Yun asked.
Shi Juan looked at Li Yun in a hurry.
Zhong Chengfu immediately stared at Li Yun vigilantly.
"I don't think you're in good spirits. You've been experiencing too many things lately. Now that these things are over, don't think about it. If people are depressed and nervous, they may attract dirty things. You have to make yourself healthy. Li Yun said, and looked at Zhong Chengfu again, "Your son is very good like this." ”
Zhong Chengfu tugged at the corners of his mouth and reluctantly smiled.
"Both, is it over?" Shi Juan asked.
"Of course." Li Yun nodded affirmatively. His confidence was also transmitted to Shi Juan's heart.
Shi Juan's expression and body gradually relaxed.
Zhong Chengfu didn't let go of his prejudices and vigilance so quickly, but when he heard Li Yun say this, he had no choice but to shut up and stop muttering to Shi Juan.
The group went out of the community and was led by Niu Haixi to find an intersection. Niu Haixi is very high-spirited and speaks very convincingly, so that Ma Jiayi's parents obey him.
The paper money burned, the flames danced, and the smoke swirled upwards into the dark night sky.
Ma Jiayi's parents wept lowly, telling how much they missed Ma Jiayi.
In Li Yun's ears, the cries of Ma Jiayi's parents were pulled away. His eyes followed the ethereal smoke, and even if he didn't turn his head, he could see the smoke flying towards Shang Yi Xinyuan behind them. Even breathing rang in his ears. Ma Jiayi did not show her figure, but Li Yun knew that she was falling into a deep sleep. She breathed evenly, inhaling and exhaling the smoke. An undetectable yin aura swirled in the room, seeping into the house.
Li Yun's gaze pulled away from the house and flew farther away.
He could catch a lot of heartbeats. Each pulse symbolizes a person, and each pulse transmits their emotions to him.
Li Yun quickly found his target.
Xi Ling hadn't fallen asleep yet. In the room separated by a wall, Wu Tiansheng was sleeping soundly, not knowing that his mother was still discussing a plan to deal with the Chen family with those relatives.
Chen Junyan didn't fall asleep either, but instead of discussing with the Chen family, he discussed with a few close people how to behave in front of his father, Mr. Chen. Regarding the property of the Wu family, he is not worried about being robbed by the Xi family, but after the property falls into the Chen family, how much of it can be distributed to him depends on his performance during this time.
There is also a person who is lying on the bed tossing and turning and not asleep, that is Wu Jingwei's assistant.
Their subordinates and employees were panicked during this time, and they couldn't sleep all night. There are worries that after the death of the boss, their work will be settled; There are also those who feel that this is an opportunity to consider which new boss to bet on; And then there is this assistant, who thinks about how much benefit he can get from it, and doesn't care about the company's life or death.
Zhong Chengfu's absurd conspiracy theories full of TV drama routines are a portrayal of reality.
After all, this is the yang world of the living, and the ghosts can easily kill the living, but they also need to play according to the rules of the living, and it depends on whether the living are willing to play with them.
"Alright. You don't have a place to live here, do you? Let's book a hotel for you and a plane ticket home tomorrow. Although Miss Ma's body has not been brought back, you can set up a clothed mound first, so that Miss Ma can live comfortably below, and not be a lonely ghost. Niu Haixi coaxed Ma Jiayi's parents very well.
The middle-aged couple nodded again and again, almost enshrined Niu Haixi as a god.
Zhong Chengfu frowned, didn't speak, and only glanced at Shi Juan.
Shi Juan looked at the ashes on the ground with a daze, and the anxiety and fear in her heart seemed to have been burned along with the paper money just now.
"Are your mother and son staying here for one night?" Niu Haixi asked with a smile.
"Hmm. Let's book our own hotel. My mom used to work here......" Zhong Chengfu glanced at Shi Juan.
Shi Juan came back to her senses, "Oh. I...... I'll give Xiaoshun a call. There should be somewhere on her side for us to sleep for the night. She should have come back from her hometown to work. ”
"It's fine." Zhong Chengfu thought about it, and followed Shi Juan's meaning.
A group of people was divided into three ways.
Shi Juan looked at Li Yun.
"I have another place to live." Li Yun said, letting Shi Juan leave with peace of mind.
Niu Haixi was a little reluctant. He is not a foolish couple in love, and if he is separated from Li Yun for a while, he will die or live. He was worried that Li Yun would have too much contact with Kong Dongmei, and he would kick him away in the future, and he would go directly to Kong Dongmei if he had something.
Niu Haixi knows very well that Li Yun doesn't like people in their circle, and his own impression of Li Yun is worth more than zero points, and this is because he has worked hard and is clever and capable these days, so he has brushed up the negative score.
Unlike him, although Kong Dongmei is also a person in this circle, she not only has real skills, but also lacks his ability to look at the eyes, and her conduct is even more reliable, not slippery, and very upright, which makes people wonder how she got into the industry.
Niu Haixi really didn't know how Kong Dongmei got into the industry, so he could only slander in his heart, and obediently took Ma Jiayi's parents and left.
"That Miss Ma, what should I do?" Kong Dongmei stood at the empty intersection and asked Li Yun.
Li Yun sighed, "I don't know either...... However, the answer should be found soon. ”
