《She Came from the Tomb》


 C1

    When the car was flung out, Shen Jiaming did not know what had happened at all. Everything seemed to have happened in an instant, and with someone shouting beside him, he did not care at all. He only felt that his body was floating in the air, and he could not see the scenery in front of him clearly. The sound of the wind in his ears was extremely powerful. It was as fast as a blade, cutting at his face with all his might. He felt his entire body burning in pain. It was extremely unbearable, almost unbearable.


    It was only after floating for a long time that Shen Jiaming realized he was not floating in mid air. He was in a weightless state and was quickly falling.


    He remembered, their car had been turned over!


    He was a mountaineering enthusiast. He had nothing better to do, so he liked to go on a mountaineering tour with his friends. This time, the few of them and the others went out to climb the mountain together. Halfway there, he suddenly lost control of his car. When he turned the corner, he accidentally ran out of the road and jumped off the cliff. The huge impact threw him out of the car, and behind him was now, he was falling down the cliff ¡­


    Shen Jiaming knew that he was going to die.


    He suddenly regretted not proposing to his girlfriend, Qin Feifei. They had been in love for years, but he felt he hadn''t had enough. He had never wanted to get married. Now that he was going to die, he felt that marriage and death were not that scary after all. If marriage was a grave, then death would confront him with a real grave. He was also a little regretful. If he had married earlier, perhaps he would have a child by now, just like his little nephew Wei Tongtong. He might be mischievous, and because he was home with his child, he might not have come this time to climb the mountain.


    However, it was too late for him to think of anything else as he was falling down at a high speed.


    Shen Jiaming felt that it was a little strange, he thought that death was a matter of an instant, but he never thought that he would actually be able to think about so many things before death.


    He suddenly felt a sense of fear. He didn''t want to die, not even a little bit. He wanted to live. He really, really wanted to live ¡­


    However, he still died. The moment he landed, he even heard the sound of death.


    In the end, he was still dead.


    "..."


    "..."


    Shen Jiaming''s nose twitched. He smelt a foul stench of rotten flesh that made him want to vomit. He slowly opened his eyes, covered his mouth and nose with his hand, and sat up abruptly. He could not help but retch.


    After spitting for a long time, he finally came to his senses. He turned around and saw a grey mountaineering suit. It was about the same color as the one he was wearing. It was the same model. This time, they had arranged to meet with other mountain climbers and divided into several teams. The uniforms were the same and belonged to the same team.


    Shen Jiaming was a little confused. He had obviously been thrown out of a car that had lost control because it broke down, why was he now in a cave that was half way open? The person wearing the same climbing uniform beside him should have fallen down together with him. Who knew how many cars had gotten into trouble this time.


    That person was lying face down, with a body similar to Shen Jiaming''s. He was tall and sturdy, probably also someone who liked to train normally. Shen Jiaming couldn''t see his face, and could only deduce from the hiking uniform that they were on the same hiking party.


    Shen Jiaming patted him on the shoulder and called out: "Brother, brother?"


    The force of his slap was not weak, causing a hole to appear in the man''s shoulder. Shen Jiaming was shocked, this man clearly looked well-muscled, why did his shoulders suddenly turn soft? He withdrew his hand and found that there was sticky liquid on his palm. It still stank, and the smell was the same smell that had made him want to vomit.

 C2

    Ugh ¡­" Shen Jiaming could not help but feel nauseous again, his palms carelessly touching the stones, removing the nauseous and sticky feeling.


    It turned out that the disgusting stench was coming from this person. He wondered how long this person had been dirty to such an extent.


    Shen Jiaming thought, the most important thing right now was how to get out of this place. He had already checked himself, but the wallet was not there. He didn''t know when it had dropped. Now, with a companion that could wake him up, it was better for the two of them to think of a solution than for a single person. Therefore, he did not give up on waking that person up, even though that person''s body was so smelly that he could not stand it.


    Although he was not a person of minor importance, he loved cleanliness. He really did not want to get close to someone who had been buried like this. After quietly distancing himself a few steps from the man, he continued to call out to him. Did he fall asleep? Wake up? "


    He shouted for a long time, but the man still did not respond. Looking at the sky outside the cave, which was already getting dark, Shen Jiaming got a little anxious. There was no food or fire source, he did not know how he managed to survive the night here. He didn''t care about how dirty that person was. He walked over and slapped him hard on the shoulder, shouting, "Bro, wake up! Stop sleeping! The sky''s going to turn dark!"


    Seeing that the man still had no reaction, Shen Jiaming could not bear it any longer and directly flipped him over.


    Ah!" After Shen Jiaming flipped the man over, he immediately threw him away, he was extremely frightened.


    Earlier, in that instant, he could clearly see that the person''s face was rotten and festering. Even his facial features could no longer be seen, and thick juice was still seeping out from his seven orifices.


    That person was already dead!


    He had been dead for a long time, and even his corpse had started to rot. The stench from earlier was not dirty at all, but was instead that of a rotten corpse.


    Shen Jiaming didn''t even think about it, he didn''t even have the time to think about it.


    He would never share a room with a rotting corpse!


    Only after running far away did he gradually regain his senses. He knew that running around in such a situation was not a wise decision. After calming himself down, he stopped and looked around.


    He discovered that this half-opened hole was extremely large. The wall was very smooth and did not have any natural shape. It was clearly a sign of being artificially excavated. The opening of the cave was very irregular, a stark contrast to the interior of the cave. It should have been caused by the collapse of the cave. He looked up at the collapse, wondering where he had fallen.


    He looked at the sky for a long time before withdrawing his gaze and continuing to observe the hole. The four walls of this cave were engraved with many murals, the shapes of the murals were strange and looked like they were drawn by ghosts. Shen Jiaming studied the murals for a long time, but was unable to figure out what was carved on the murals. In the end, he gave up on his research. After all, he wasn''t a student of archaeology, so it would be strange if he could come up with something like this.


    Although he couldn''t understand the murals in the cave, they seemed to be especially exquisite. They should be ancient items or at least hundreds of years old.


    He carefully recalled that they were going to climb this mountain, but he didn''t seem to have heard of any ancient monuments. He also didn''t know which generation this cave was painted with, and whether it could be counted as a historical artifact or not.


    He took a few steps forward, then stopped as he saw a huge red lacquered boxwood coffin in the center of the room. Shen Jiaming felt a chill run down his spine. So this cave was not just being painted with a mural inside, it was actually a Tomb Hole!

 C3

    When he was in university, he had watched ''Ghost Blows Out the Light'' and ''Grave Robbing Notes'' with his roommates. He more or less knew about these things and immediately thought of a bunch of other things. However, as a loyal materialist atheist, Shen Jiaming quickly calmed down and shook his head, shaking off all those weird thoughts.


    In the end, he turned around and walked back the way he came. After all, he didn''t know whether there was a way out of this cave or not, but the place he woke up from just now was the place where he landed. It would be better to go back and investigate, perhaps there was a way out. The only bad thing was that if he wanted to go back, he would have to stay in the same room as Brother Corpse.


    Because he knew that this was the Tomb Hole, and there was an ancient coffin in the cave, Shen Jiaming was no longer that afraid of the rotten corpse at the entrance of the cave. All he wanted to do was to return to that place quickly.


    He had only taken two steps when he heard movement behind him. There was a rustling sound, like the sound of clothes being dragged on the ground, accompanied by light footsteps.


    Even if Shen Jiaming was usually bolder, he was covered in cold sweat now. Earlier, when he was looking in the direction of the coffin, he didn''t see anyone. How could there be the sound of footsteps?


    Shen Jiaming wanted to run, but he could not help but be curious. He turned his head and looked behind him, bracing himself as he shouted, "Is it a human or a ghost? "Come out!"


    He turned his head and his gaze fell upon the coffin. However, the coffin was very calm. There were no changes to it, and the rustling sounds also suddenly stopped.


    Shen Jiaming turned around and once again carefully examined this Tomb Hole. Other than the coffin, there was nothing else. He did not know where this rustling sound came from. The coffin was extremely strange as well. It was wrapped in thick and heavy clothes and looked extremely beautiful. However, there was not the slightest bit of an object that would accompany one''s funeral within the Tomb Hole. Initially, he had thought jokingly that he should learn the plot of the TV series and touch some valuable treasures within the Tomb Hole.


    Just as he was thinking, the rustling sound rang out again. This time, Shen Jiaming could hear it clearly. It was the sound of cloth scraping on stone, and the sound of light footsteps. Because of the cave''s structure, these sounds echoed throughout the entire cave. It was eerie and empty, creating an even more terrifying atmosphere.


    Shen Jiaming couldn''t find the source of the voice and could only shout out aimlessly, "Who is it? Who was it? "Come out!"


    He called out a few times before his eyes fell on the coffin. He swallowed his saliva and bravely walked towards the coffin, unwilling to believe what was happening. He wanted to see what exactly made the sound.


    The closer he got to the coffin, the more certain he became that the sound was coming from the direction of the coffin. It was very, very light.


    Shen Jiaming walked to the coffin and saw nothing. He pursed his lips and mustered his courage to walk around the coffin.


    When he went around the coffin, he saw a little girl sitting behind it. She was wearing a black cloak and a thick hood was draped over her head, revealing a round little face. She was about seventeen or eighteen, very young, with pale skin, delicate features, and delicate features.


    Shen Jiaming was stupefied. He absolutely did not think that there would actually be a little girl sitting here.


    He asked her, "Who are you?"


    The little girl slowly raised her head and looked at Shen Jiaming with her bright, pitch-black eyes. Only after a long while did she slowly speak up with a clear and melodious voice, "Sheng Jiuzhou, I am Sheng Jiuzhou."

 C4

    Sheng Jiuzhou?


    A little girl with such a name? How did her parents give her such a name? It was really a domineering name! Shen Jiaming could not help but retort, but he deliberately asked with a softer tone, "Why are you here alone? Where are your parents? "


    The little girl turned her head coldly, not even looking at Shen Jiaming, much less answering his question.


    Shen Jiaming felt that this little girl was probably an adolescent rebel, and had ran all the way here for some unknown reason. But whatever the reason this little girl had come here for, he, as a man, could not leave her behind. Even if there was a coffin that was hundreds of years old, there was still a rotting corpse of a brother outside.


    He wiped his hands on his body and extended them towards the girl, saying, "Stand up first, don''t sit on the ground. The ground is cold."


    The little girl turned her head to look at him. Her eyes were ice-cold, filled with a probing look, as if she was sizing him up.


    Shen Jiaming felt extremely uncomfortable under her gaze, and coughed lightly, "No matter how you came here, since I''ve met you, I can''t just leave you here. You have to follow me, I''ll be responsible for bringing you out."


    After he had finished saying this, he had thought that this seemingly aloof and cold girl would ignore him, and so he had continued to argue with her. He didn''t expect that the little girl would actually extend her hand and place it on his palm, borrowing his arm to stand up.


    Shen Jiaming thought that she must have been frozen to death here. She did not know what she was wearing under that long cape of hers, but it was unexpectedly this cold.


    He pulled the little girl away from the coffin and stopped. He took off his mountaineering jacket and placed it on the little girl''s body.


    He smiled at her, "Your name is Sheng Jiuzhou. What do your family call you? Do you have a nickname? "


    The little girl seemed to be startled, her gaze landed on the mountain-climbing uniform that was draped over her black cape, and completely ignored Shen Jiaming.


    Shen Jiaming brought embarrassment to himself, and could only rub his nose to cover his embarrassment. Just as he was about to turn around, he heard the little girl say: "Ah Jiu."


    The little girl suddenly said these two words, and Shen Jiaming was unable to react for a moment. It was only after a long time that she realized that she was answering his previous question.


    He smiled at her and said: "So your nickname is Ah Jiu, nice to listen to. Your name is not bad, but your name is so grand and imposing, and your nickname is so elegant. "


    The little girl simply ignored him and turned her head. Her gaze landed on an unknown place, causing Shen Jiaming to feel an inexplicable sense of defeat.


    He thought that although he was usually at home, although he was occasionally serious, he was still very fond of him. Especially his little nephew Wei Tongtong, who would talk about meeting his uncle everyday.


    However, now was not the time to think about such matters. They had to find a way out. He said to Sheng Jiuzhou: "My name is Shen Jiaming, I also fell in trouble here. Now that we know each other, we are friends who went through hardships together. I will call you Ah Jiu. "


    Sheng Jiuzhou did not seem to have any reaction, nor did he say that he agreed, and neither did he say that he disagreed.


    Shen Jiaming brought her and walked outside. Since he thought of the rotten corpse outside, he was afraid of scaring the little girl, so he gave her a precaution in advance, "Do you know that this is a Tomb Hole?"

 C5

    Sheng Jiuzhou remained as cold as ice, and did not speak, but it was clear that when Shen Jiaming said these words, she did not react with a hint of fear, and her entire body was surprisingly calm, as if Shen Jiaming had only said something about the weather was good or something.


    Seeing her so calm, Shen Jiaming suddenly felt his chest being blocked by a mouthful of old blood. He could not help but guess, that she had already stayed in this Tomb Hole for a few days already, and had not gone out at all?


    He did not wait for Sheng Jiuzhou to react and grinded his teeth, then said: "At the entrance of the cave, there is someone that could be my comrade. He is dead, and his corpse is already starting to rot."


    As he was speaking, Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly turned her head to look at him. Her eyes seemed to be looking at an idiot, full of disdain.


    Shen Jiaming originally wanted to say it out loud in advance so that the little girl would be mentally prepared. If she was afraid, he would first comfort her. However, he never expected that Sheng Jiuzhou would actually be so calm, calmer than he, a man.


    Inexplicably, Shen Jiaming felt defeated.


    He was afraid that she couldn''t hear him clearly, so he impatiently repeated himself, "Ah Jiu, you probably didn''t hear what I said just now. I said ¡­"


    "Are you afraid of him?"


    "Huh?" Shen Jiaming was suddenly interrupted, and for a moment, he did not understand what Sheng Jiuzhou meant by ''afraid''.


    "You don''t have to be afraid. It''s just a piece of skin. If it''s broken, then make a new one." Sheng Jiuzhou was comforting him with sincere and earnest words, like a little old granny.


    Shen Jiaming, "..."


    He felt that the child was probably an adolescent who was suffering from a very serious disease.


    What skin? It was a corpse! A corpse! A corpse!


    What''s broken, then we can make a new one? He was dead! A human life!


    When the two of them were about to reach the cave entrance, Shen Jiaming smelt the rotten stench. He was afraid that Sheng Jiuzhou would not get used to smelling it, so he gestured for her to cover her nose and wait there.


    The second time he saw this corpse, Shen Jiaming was no longer as terrified as he was before. Of course, it could also be because there was a little girl by his side. As a man, if he didn''t show some composure, how could he show off to a little girl?


    He walked to the side of the corpse, raised his head, and observed the hole above. His mind quickly spun, imagining how likely it was that Sheng Jiuzhou and him would climb up there.


    Looking at the potholed walls around him, plus his years of experience climbing mountains and physical training, he estimated that the chances of him climbing up were still high.


    However, when he turned his head and saw Sheng Jiuzhou, he became troubled once again. That little girl was so young, he didn''t know if she would be able to climb up the walls of the cave.


    Shen Jiaming thought that the sky had already darkened. He still decided to collect the things that he could use, if not sleeping in the cave at night would be a problem.


    He looked at the rotten corpse beside him and gritted his teeth. He braced himself and stretched out his hand, searching the body, hoping to find something useful.


    To be honest, he had found something on the corpse. It was something useful, a wallet that was exactly the same as the one he used.


    Shen Jiaming tried his best to recall, but he couldn''t recall who among the team members that used the same money as him. He opened the wallet and there was the receipt again. There was his ID, his bank card, his driver''s license, and a wad of cash that looked exactly like what he had in his wallet.

 C6

    Shen Jiaming took out his ID card, and upon seeing the name, he couldn''t help but curse: "Okay, this daddy thought you were using the same money clip as this daddy, and wanted to praise you for your good taste? I never thought that this would be my wallet. You took it away from me while I was unconscious! "


    The more Shen Jiaming thought about it, the angrier he got, and he kicked the corpse again, "Brat, are you trying to escape by yourself while this daddy is unconscious? Fortunately, when I woke up, I wanted to escape with you, but you wanted to leave me here and escape alone! Why are you so disloyal! To put it harshly, you deserve to be punished for your death! F * ck, they''re from the same mountaineering team, but they don''t have the same kind of love! "No, I''ll flip it again. Let''s see if you still take other things from me."


    At this time, Shen Jiaming was so angry that all the bandits'' energy in his bones started to surge. He did not care about the disgusting smell of corruption from that person''s body, and directly started to search him.


    Sure enough, he even took out his phone from that person''s body. Although the screen was broken, he could still recognize it at a glance. It was his phone.


    "F * ck, I''m not letting go of the wallet or my phone. You really want to empty my phone before you let me go!"


    When he was going crazy over here, Sheng Jiuzhou was just standing there with her gaze fixed on him. Her expression was strange, as if she was looking at a clown.


    After searching the body for a while and completely confirming that there was nothing on his body, Shen Jiaming finally calmed down. He couldn''t care about the dirt on his hand, so he started to check his phone. The screen on the phone shattered, the back of the phone cracked as well. It was already ruined and could no longer be used, hence Shen Jiaming had no choice but to give up on the idea of calling for help.


    The cash in the wallet was still intact and did not smell like corpses, but the outside of the wallet was sticky and he could tell what it was without thinking. Shen Jiaming wiped his hands casually and endured the pain in his stomach. Gritting his teeth, he took out all the money from his wallet and stuffed it into his pocket. After all, losing these documents was a huge risk, and it would be troublesome if they were to make up for it. Moreover, he could still use the cash inside. If he wanted to take Sheng Jiuzhou out, the cash might be of great use. As the saying goes, money makes the difference!


    He casually threw the wallet aside, squatted down and began to talk to the corpse brother, "Brother, although you stole my things, and I''m sorry, but I, as a man, don''t remember that I''ve cheated on you, and I can''t care less about being a dead man. As for you, if you are truly alive in the sky, please bless Ah Jiu and I and help you get out safely. At that time, I will definitely tell the police that you are here and let them come to pick you up. "


    After muttering to himself, he left the corpse and returned to Sheng Jiuzhou''s side. He pointed at the cave wall and said to her: "We need to climb out of here before it gets dark. Don''t be afraid, I''ll support you and we''ll definitely be able to get out."


    Sheng Jiuzhou tilted his head, as if he had his doubts, "Climb?"


    "Yes, climb up, like this." Shen Jiaming found a convenient place to step down, measured it a few times, and then slowly climbed up two meters. He was glad that he had the hobby of climbing the mountain. He would often train in the gym. Otherwise, he wouldn''t be able to guarantee that he would be able to climb out alive under such circumstances.


    He demonstrated it to Sheng Jiuzhou before jumping down from the cave wall and said: "Don''t be afraid, let''s slowly climb. I''ll protect you from the back."


    Sheng Jiuzhou looked at Shen Jiaming strangely, and did not say anything. He did not say that he agreed, nor did he say that he disagreed.


    Shen Jiaming had a headache. At this moment, he felt that it was really hard to figure out children in their middle and second year. Right now, he really sympathized with those middle school teachers. He didn''t know how they had endured so many young people in their hands.

 C7

    As the phone was broken, neither he nor Brother Corpse could find a watch on them. Other than looking at the sky, Shen Jiaming really did not know how to judge the time.


    He discussed with Sheng Jiuzhou, "Ah Jiu, if we were to stay here for the night, would you be afraid?"


    As Shen Jiaming said this, he pointed at Brother Corpse, hoping to make Sheng Jiuzhou, this younger sister, realize that it was a corpse, a genuine corpse, and not some prop from an ancient costume.


    Sheng Jiuzhou looked at the corpse brother in disdain, then revealed a look of disdain towards Shen Jiaming. Without saying anything, he turned around and left.


    At first, Shen Jiaming didn''t even have time to react. He thought that Sheng Jiuzhou had been scared, and had only taken a few steps away from the corpse, but he realized that this girl had really left. She was walking towards the coffin in the cave, not caring about anything at all!


    Shen Jiaming suddenly felt his head hurt, and he did not know what to say either!


    How could Shen Jiaming let her go alone? He hurried to catch up and called out to her from behind, "Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu ¡­"


    Sheng Jiuzhou turned his head, looked at Shen Jiaming, and finally spoke: "You want to leave?"


    Shen Jiaming was immediately angered and he thought in his heart: Is this girl stupid? Who wouldn''t want to leave this kind of ancient tomb in the wilderness?


    Sheng Jiuzhou remained expressionless as he quietly stood there, waiting for Shen Jiaming''s reply. Shen Jiaming said patiently, "Of course I want to go out. Think about it, there''s nothing to eat or drink here. If we stay here for another two days, we''ll both starve to death. "You are such a delicate little girl, are you willing to become like that?"


    "I''m not going to be like that." Sheng Jiuzhou''s reply was resolute and decisive, causing Shen Jiaming to not be able to reply for a moment.


    Sheng Jiuzhou did not bother with Shen Jiaming and continued, "Actually, this place is pretty good, no one wants to disturb me."


    Shen Jiaming rolled his eyes while carrying her. As expected, she was still quite sick.


    The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time, until Shen Jiaming decided to ignore her. Just as he was about to turn around and continue checking on the way out, he suddenly heard Sheng Jiuzhou say, "I can bring you out."


    Only now did Shen Jiaming remember that since this little girl could hide here, then she must know how to enter and leave from here. Thinking about that, Shen Jiaming immediately became excited, he did not study the cave path anymore, but immediately went to Sheng Jiuzhou''s side, and anxiously asked her to bring him out.


    Sheng Jiuzhou raised his head, he looked at Shen Jiaming, and asked curiously: "What is happening in the outside world?"


    Shen Jiaming was at a loss for words. He suddenly felt that Sheng Jiuzhou was not some retard, but had something wrong with his brain.


    He didn''t know how to answer Sheng Jiuzhou''s question, so he could only answer in a general tone, "There''s everything outside, it depends on what you want."


    Sheng Jiuzhou seemed to be very satisfied with this answer, and then he really found a path and brought Shen Jiaming out.


    Shen Jiaming had never thought that it would be so simple that he could rack his brains to come out from the Tomb Hole; it was practically effortless.


    He stood at the mouth of Tomb Hole, turned around and bowed towards the direction of Tomb Hole, and said in a low voice: "Brother Corpse, wait for me, I will have the police come and fetch you."


    When he was doing this, he did not notice Sheng Jiuzhou''s expression. Sheng Jiuzhou''s expression was very strange. He frowned, somewhat puzzled.

 C8

    Shen Jiaming followed the path that Sheng Jiuzhou led and successfully found a small mountain village in the evening.


    The village was not big, only containing a dozen or so households. From generation to generation, they would depend on farming to survive. When they heard that Shen Jiaming had gotten into an accident while rolling on the mountain road, they immediately brought him to their house, borrowed his clothes and let him bathe. During this time, they even arranged for him to eat a meal, and after telling him to wash up, they directly came over to eat. Before he took a bath, Shen Jiaming took care of the village chief borrowing a plane from the village committee''s office, reporting the situation to the police, then giving a call to his fellow Fatty s, informing them that he was safe and sound.


    Fatty heard Shen Jiaming''s voice on the other side of the phone. He seemed to be very surprised, and was immediately overjoyed, promising repeatedly that he would immediately come to pick him up.


    To thank the villagers for taking care of him, Shen Jiaming took out a few red notes as gratitude. However, the kind and honest villagers kept evading him, saying that they wouldn''t take anything from him. They even said with a thick accent, "What money are you talking about? We should, we should, we don''t want money. "


    After Shen Jiaming washed himself clean, he wiped his hair and came out. He saw that Sheng Jiuzhou was still wearing his black cape and was standing in the small courtyard looking at his house in a daze. He followed her gaze and found that there was a big black back squatting at the entrance of the villager''s house. It had its four legs together and its waist was perfectly straight. It was sitting motionlessly there.


    Shen Jiaming only glanced at the dog once, and didn''t pay any attention to it. He opened his mouth to call for her: "Ah Jiu, stop daydreaming here, quickly go take a hot bath and feel comfortable. After that, we''ll go eat dinner."


    Earlier, he wanted her to wash him first, but she rejected him without a word. Shen Jiaming was used to being clean, so she couldn''t stand the smell on his body, and she didn''t insist, hence she washed herself first.


    Sheng Jiuzhou did not speak, he continued to stare at the dog at the door.


    Shen Jiaming could only accompany her and look. Only now did he realize that the bottom of the dog''s body was covered with blood, and blood was flowing all over the ground. The entire ground was covered with blood, almost covering the entire dirt road outside the door.


    Shen Jiaming had always been a child of the city, he had never seen such a scene before. His face was pale as he anxiously said: "I will go find uncle villagers and see if I can save it."


    Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly opened his mouth, "It''s useless, it''s already too late."


    Shen Jiaming did not know what Sheng Jiuzhou meant by that, and ignored her. He turned around and went in to find the uncle.


    "Uncle, your dog is injured, and blood is all over the ground. Quickly go and take a look."


    The village uncle looked confused, and said with a thick accent, "My dog? Our family doesn''t have any dogs! "


    Shen Jiaming did not care so much, and pulled the villager uncle out. When he came out, Sheng Jiuzhou was already no longer at the door, and no one knew where he had gone to. He brought the villagers'' uncle directly to the courtyard entrance. The entrance was empty, without a single dog. The dirt road was also clean, without a single trace of blood.


    The village uncle said hoarsely, "Young man, what dog are you talking about here?"


    Shen Jiaming also felt that it was strange. If the dog took the opportunity to run away while he was looking for the uncle, then what about the pool of blood that he saw? Such a large pool of blood, it was impossible for it to not have any traces left at all.


    Just as he was wondering at the door, Sheng Jiuzhou walked in from outside. The hood was already off, revealing her head, and she looked even younger, as though she was only 15 or 16 years old.


    She had straight black hair that fell behind her back. She looked clean, as if she had just taken a bath.

 C9

    Seeing that the little girl was completely clean, the uncle thought that she had finished her shower, so he asked Shen Jiaming to bring her to eat.


    The village uncle was an extremely enthusiastic person, as he asked Shen Jiaming, "Is this little girl your sister? "They are really pretty, but the kids in this city are just not the same."


    Shen Jiaming embarrassedly nodded and admitted it: "Yes, my sister."


    The villagers'' uncle "oh", smiling, said: "This little sister of yours is really handsome, just like a kid from a new year painting."


    Shen Jiaming curiously looked at Sheng Jiuzhou. She looked very fair and clean, but no matter how you looked at it, she didn''t look like a doll, right? He did not bother with the villagers'' uncle about this matter. In any case, this could be one of the villagers'' uncle''s ways of praising others!


    The table of food prepared by the villagers'' uncle was very sumptuous. Other than scrambled eggs with scallions, they even patted the cucumbers together. They even specially killed a chicken and stewed dried mushrooms for them. Shen Jiaming could not tell what kind of meat it was, but the uncle of the villager laughed and said, "There is nothing good in our village. This bowl of dog meat is dried dog meat, and is stewed with dried dog meat.


    When he mentioned dogs, Shen Jiaming asked casually, "Uncle, didn''t you say your family didn''t have dogs?"


    "We don''t have a dog in our house right now. This is a dog we killed during the new year. It has a black back and its meat is tough and tough."


    Shen Jiaming recalled the black back he saw on the gate and immediately lost all appetite. He couldn''t even finish eating the chicken, he only picked up the scallions from within the eggs and ate them.


    Sheng Jiuzhou sat beside Shen Jiaming, staring at the food on the table, not moving at all, not even picking up the chopsticks.


    The village uncle was also enthusiastic and immediately gave her a bowl of chicken soup, "Little girl, drink more soup to mend your body."


    Sheng Jiuzhou silently received it, and after looking at it for a long time, he slowly picked up the spoon and carefully tasted it. After a long while, just when Shen Jiaming thought that she might have despised that bowl of chicken soup, she actually started to eat without care for her image.


    Shen Jiaming thought, this girl was not stupid, at least she knew how to eat, and was also someone who knew how to eat meat. However, just like Shen Jiaming, Sheng Jiuzhou did not touch even a little bit of that bowl of dog meat.


    It was already night when they arrived. It was inconvenient to leave the village, so they could only stay at Uncle''s house for the night. Uncle had lost his wife in the early years and had a son who went out to work, so he was the only one in the family. took one room for himself while the other two took another.


    While lying on the brick bed, Shen Jiaming curiously asked about the Tomb Hole. The village uncle''s expression immediately changed, as if he was unwilling to continue the conversation, "Young man, that hole you spoke of, how could it be a Tomb Hole? It''s used to suppress infernal energy, it''s unlucky to be mentioned."


    "Baleful aura?" Shen Jiaming grew up under the red flag and studied Marxist theory on materialism. He was a typical atheist and could not believe in this kind of feudal superstition.


    However, the village uncle shook his head, "Me knows that the people in your village don''t believe this, but everyone in our village believes this. An infernal energy was not something good from the sound of it. It would bring about bad luck. That Tomb Hole you are talking about, is to suppress the baleful aura and protect our ancestors'' descendants. "Aiya, I''m telling you youngsters that you don''t believe me either. Go to sleep, go to sleep!"


    The countryside did not have much entertainment at night, so they usually slept at night. Since the uncle was so old, he had already gotten into the habit of sleeping early. He closed his eyes and fell asleep immediately. However, Shen Jiaming couldn''t fall asleep with his eyes wide open.


    He had just begun to feel sleepy when he was awakened by the sound of a barking dog.

 C10

    The dogs were barking non-stop, causing Shen Jiaming to be annoyed. He was tossing and turning, unable to sleep. The uncle beside him slept soundly, and the barking did not wake him at all.


    The barking grew louder, as if it were getting closer and closer, as if it had already crawled under the window of the house. Shen Jiaming could not help but get up, put on his clothes and walk down the brick bed, wanting to see what was going on.


    When he came out of the house, he saw Sheng Jiuzhou, dressed in his cape, sitting on the threshold of the house facing the door.


    At some point in time, the door to the house that was originally tightly shut had been opened. The moment Shen Jiaming stepped out, he could feel a burst of cold air that caused even the crevices in his bones to feel cold. He walked over to Sheng Jiuzhou and stood beside her asking her: "Ah Jiu, what are you doing sitting here in the middle of the night? "Why aren''t you sleeping?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou slowly turned his head, his face expressionless, his eyes unmoving, like a puppet without a soul, startling Shen Jiaming.


    After calming himself down, he looked at Sheng Jiuzhou again. He felt that his eyes were blurry, and that Sheng Jiuzhou was still his original appearance, there was nothing unusual about her at all.


    When the two of them looked at each other, the barking outside continuously became louder and louder. Shen Jiaming was so annoyed that he wanted to cover his ears.


    He complained in a low voice, "Is this dog crazy? Why is it so noisy in the middle of the night?" Ah Jiu, are you also unable to sleep because of the dogs? "


    While he was speaking, he had already picked up a fire poker from the stove. After he finished speaking, he passed Sheng Jiuzhou and walked out of the doorstep to look for the dog.


    As soon as he went out, the barking stopped. It was the kind of abrupt stop, especially abrupt, without any forewarning at all.


    Shen Jiaming looked around the courtyard, especially searching through the windows for a long time, but he did not find even a shadow of a dog. He could not help but mutter: "This bastard actually ran really fast, or else I would have definitely whipped him a few times."


    "It just doesn''t understand."


    A voice suddenly came from behind Shen Jiaming. Shen Jiaming was not prepared at all, he was extremely frightened, and instinctively took two steps back, and after turning his head to look at Sheng Jiuzhou, he gasped for breath while patting his chest: "Hey, how did you suddenly come over here, I can''t even make a sound walking. Luckily, your brother I was bold, and the timid one was scared to death by you."


    Sheng Jiuzhou was originally sitting on the doorstep, but now that he was suddenly behind him, he actually did not hear anything, it would be weird if he was not given a fright.


    He remembered what Sheng Jiuzhou had said, and asked, "Ah Jiu, what did you say just now? What do you not understand? "


    Sheng Jiuzhou did not look at Shen Jiaming. Instead, he turned his head towards the outside of the wall and slowly said: "It just doesn''t understand why it would become the host''s plate when it was obviously obedient."


    Her voice was very soft, causing Shen Jiaming to not be able to hear her clearly. He could only hear the words "lunch", and he was unable to understand what Sheng Jiuzhou wanted to say.


    He turned around and took a few steps, discovering that Sheng Jiuzhou was still standing foolishly in the courtyard. Then, he retreated and pulled her arm, urging her, "It''s already the middle of the night, little miss, quickly go back and sleep, we still have to hurry tomorrow."


    He stuffed Sheng Jiuzhou back into his room, closed the door, and then went back to sleep.


    The villagers'' uncle seemed to have been woken up by him. He rubbed his eyes and asked in a daze, "Young lad, it''s the middle of the night, why aren''t you sleeping?"


    Shen Jiaming said: "I heard a dog barking just now, so I went out to look around."


    "Dog barking?" The village man sat up and listened, but didn''t hear anything. He fell down again, muttering, "Go to sleep, go to sleep. How dare you speak nonsense. What dog''s barking?"

 C11

    When Shen Jiaming woke up the next day, he was already awake. She was just like yesterday, still wearing the same cloak, but without the hood on.


    Shen Jiaming felt that there must be a generation gap between him and this kind of child. He really couldn''t understand the behavior of these children.


    After eating breakfast, Shen Jiaming and Sheng Jiuzhou were dragged out of the valley by the only tractor in the village and brought to the town''s police station.


    Shen Jiaming told the local police about his situation, then mentioned the "brother corpse" in his Tomb Hole. The police officer in charge of the police station acted very quickly, and quickly helped Shen Jiaming to contact the police officer in charge of the accident involving Shen Jiaming and the others.


    After contacting her, the police officer of the police station hung up and spoke hesitantly, "Mr. Shen, I just contacted a missing person. In that car accident, you were the only one missing. There was no other missing person. However, Mr. Shen doesn''t need to worry. We will definitely contact the Bureau and have them send someone to search for the body. When we know the exact information, we will contact you immediately. "After all, you did it three months ago. There are some clues that the police don''t know about, so we can only hand them over to the person in charge of your case. Please forgive us."


    After Shen Jiaming heard this, he was stunned, his mouth gaped for a long time, but he was still unable to say anything.


    Three months ago? It had already been three months since he fell from the cliff in a car accident?


    However, he clearly remembered that when he and Sheng Jiuzhou came out of the cave, it had only been one night. Could it be that he had already been in the cave for three months?


    The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was far too impractical. He shook his head, hoping that he had made a mistake and that it hadn''t even been three months.


    Other than this matter, the thing that gave him the most headache was Sheng Jiuzhou.


    He told the policemen about Sheng Jiuzhou, wanting to trouble them to find Sheng Jiuzhou''s family. However, there was no Sheng Jiuzhou in the Household Registration System, nor was there any related missing person like Sheng Jiuzhou.


    Shen Jiaming pulled Sheng Jiuzhou over and asked softly, "Ah Jiu, Sheng Jiuzhou isn''t your real name, right? What is your real name? Where do you live? "


    He asked for a long time, but Sheng Jiuzhou did not answer.


    Shen Jiaming was a little unhappy, but he deliberately kept a straight face to scare her, "Ah Jiu, if you don''t tell me the truth, I''ll throw you aside like this!"


    After scaring him for a long time, Sheng Jiuzhou still did not speak.


    Shen Jiaming began to have soft policies again, coaxing her, "Ah Jiu, are you saying that I''m not good to you? Why don''t you like to tell me the truth? If you come out like this, your parents and family will all be worried. "If there''s anything that you''re unhappy about, tell Big Bro, Big Bro will help you solve it. But as for that, we still need to go home first."


    Sheng Jiuzhou was like a mute, not saying a word.


    In the end, Shen Jiaming had no choice but to send people to prepare the case, leaving behind his contact details and address. Then, he brought Sheng Jiuzhou along to his side and told his comrades to contact him whenever there was any news.


    After bidding farewell to the policemen with Sheng Jiuzhou, he stood at the door and waited for the Fatty.

 C12

    Fatty was a brother that Shen Jiaming had grown up in. The people of the Fatty were like people who had risen to fame, they were fat from young, and had never lost any weight.


    When he saw Shen Jiaming, he immediately cried. His eyes were red and choked with sobs. Shen Jiaming was moved, she stepped forward and hugged Fatty, then patted his shoulder and comforted him and said: "Don''t cry, don''t cry, I''m fine now, I''m fine now."


    "Brother Shen!" Fatty was extremely excited, her tears still streaming down her face.


    Shen Jiaming could not help but tease him, "Aiya, Fatty, don''t cry anymore, look at how my sister is laughing at you."


    While the two of them were talking, Sheng Jiuzhou stood to the side and stared at Fatty with a strange expression. This was the first time Shen Jiaming had seen her with such an expression in all the time he had known her. Finally, he no longer looked like a puppet but more like a living person.


    He laughed, then pulled her over to introduce her to Fatty, "Fatty, this is my sister Ah Jiu. Ah Jiu, this is your brother''s best bro, you can just call him Brother Fatty. He will be your brother from now on, we will protect you in the future. "


    Ah Jiu remained silent, as his expression returned to its original state. He was still expressionless, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.


    When Fatty saw Ah Jiu, he immediately turned his head away and did not continue looking at her.


    Shen Jiaming felt it was strange, he patted the Fatty''s shoulders and quietly joked, "Aiyo, my brothers, are you being shy when you see how beautiful my sister is? Why didn''t you greet my little sister Ah Jiu! "


    Seeing that Fatty still did not say anything more, like a sullen gourd, Shen Jiaming did not say anything more and pulled Sheng Jiuzhou to the carriage, and said to her: "Ah Jiu, don''t mind me, Fatty has always been a simple and honest man since he was young, and might suddenly feel embarrassed to see you, don''t blame him for being impolite!"


    Sheng Jiuzhou did not say anything and obediently got on the carriage. After getting on the car, he lay down on the back seat and curled up into a ball. He closed his eyes and started to sleep.


    Seeing her obediently get on the car, Shen Jiaming was relieved. He opened the passenger seat and sat on the car himself, then urged Fatty to drive.


    Fatty stood outside the door as if he was hesitating for a moment before he opened the door and got in.


    Because of the barks from the dogs last night, Shen Jiaming did not sleep well. Before the car drove too far, he was already tired. He greeted the Fatty and leaned back in his seat as he slept soundly.


    He did not know how long he slept, but when he opened his eyes, the sky was already dark. The Fatty sat on the side of the car as he drove with a heavy expression on his face.


    Shen Jiaming rubbed his eyes and came back to his senses. The first thing he did was to turn his head to look at Sheng Jiuzhou who was lying on the back seat. The little girl was still in the same position as before, hugging each other tightly as she lay on the back seat, as if she was sleeping soundly.


    Seeing that she was sleeping peacefully, Shen Jiaming did not want to wake her up, so he whispered to Fatty: "How much longer do we need? We''ve been on our way and we haven''t eaten lunch. Are you hungry? Has Ah Jiu woken up before? "


    In fact, the place where Shen Jiaming met with trouble was not too far from the city where he lived. The place he had been discovered was in a small town under his command. He shouldn''t be too far off from it.


    Fatty answered: "Brother Shen, don''t be anxious, we will be at your house soon."


    When he said that, Shen Jiaming realized that the road outside the window was not a highway at all, but a road in the vicinity of his villa.


    He was somewhat astonished as he did not expect that the small town they were leaving for would be so close to them. He had only slept for a short while, yet he had already arrived at his home the moment he opened his eyes.

 C13

    Right after he finished talking to the Fatty, the Fatty immediately stopped the car at the entrance of Shen Jiaming''s house.


    Shen Jiaming still could not recover from his shock. He only felt that it was simply too fast, so fast that he did not even have time to react.


    He opened the door and got out of the car, then opened the back door. He reached out to pat Sheng Jiuzhou who was still sleeping, and gently called out to her: "Ah Jiu, we are home, don''t sleep anymore."


    Fatty sat in the driver''s seat, looking at the rearview mirror, her eyes staring straight at Shen Jiaming. She pursed her lips but did not say anything.


    Sheng Jiuzhou opened his eyes in a daze and rubbed his hands. She squinted her eyes, looking at Shen Jiaming, she did not move at all.


    Shen Jiaming extended his hand out to pull her, and she unwillingly got off the carriage, but closed her eyes tightly, and only Shen Jiaming was able to pull her to walk.


    Shen Jiaming said to the Fatty, "Fatty, you go see the carriage first, I will take Ah Jiu upstairs first. "This little girl still hasn''t woken up. She''s still so sleepy."


    In the time it took him to say these two sentences, Sheng Jiuzhou had already fallen asleep on Shen Jiaming''s body.


    Shen Jiaming did not care that much, he extended his arm and grabbed her up, then walked towards the elevator.


    The elevator stopped on his floor. When he carried Sheng Jiuzhou out, he saw a small boy who looked like he was five or six years old. He was running back and forth while jumping and jumping.


    Once Shen Jiaming stepped out of the elevator, he met the little boy face to face. The little boy seemed to be shocked by Shen Jiaming, and immediately did not jump nor scream, he only stood there staring at for a long time, then turned and ran.


    The little boy was very young, yet he was able to run so suddenly. His legs lost their balance and he staggered and almost fell down.


    Although Shen Jiaming hated children making noise, when he saw that the child was about to fall, he couldn''t help but call out to him, "Be careful, slow down."


    The little boy seemed to be startled and stopped in his tracks. He turned his head and looked at him curiously. He seemed to want to come closer, but it seemed that he was too hesitant to come closer.


    Shen Jiaming didn''t have the heart to guess what the little boy was thinking. He couldn''t even handle the big child who was sleeping in his arms, how could he have the energy to care about the little boy? He went to his door, freed a hand, and punched in the code. The door opened with a "da" sound, and he carried Sheng Jiuzhou into the room. Before closing the door, he subconsciously turned his head to look at the little boy, who was no longer there.


    Shen Jiaming could only sigh, the children these days move so quickly.


    Shen Jiaming was a manager in a company, and his salary was not cheap, this house was under his name, the whole house was not provided with a loan, with two rooms, one for each room, it was not considered big, but the light was not bad, and also being close to his company, he was usually alone, so he was already used to living here, thus he did not think of changing another room.


    No one had stayed in the guest rooms for a long time, which meant that Fatty and the rest of the brothers would occasionally come over to sleep. It was probably empty for a long time, so it was not suitable for them to sleep. Therefore, he directly carried Sheng Jiuzhou into his own bedroom.


    His bedroom was relatively clean. During his absence, the auntie from the home service company had been cleaning it all the time.


    After settling Sheng Jiuzhou down, he walked out of the main bedroom and saw the Fatty standing in the living room with her head lowered, in silence.

 C14

    He walked towards Fatty and patted his shoulder, saying: "Thank you brother. If you hadn''t come to pick me up, I wouldn''t even know how to come back. Hungry? I''ll see what else there is in the fridge. "


    He turned and walked towards the kitchen, saying, "Fatty, do you know? I was at the police station in that small town today, and the police there told me that it had been three months since my accident. Aren''t you joking? I just slept for a night, and took Ah Jiu to live with Uncle for an entire night, how can it be three months now? Alas, there''s nothing in the fridge, not even an egg. I''ll find out if there''s any . I don''t know when Ah Jiu will be sleeping, but if she wakes up, I''ll take you guys out for midnight snacks ¡­


    Shen Jiaming talked for a long time, but still did not hear a word from the Fatty. He curiously turned his head and realized that the Fatty was no longer in the living room.


    When he walked out of the kitchen, he found that the Fatty was not inside the house, and his shoes were not in the hallway.


    Shen Jiaming was puzzled, "What happened to Fatty? He actually left without saying a word? Has he left or gone out to buy food? "


    Shen Jiaming''s phone was broken again, so he could only find his home phone to call Fatty.


    He picked up the phone and dialed a few numbers. He saw the date on the screen and then his fingers could no longer press it.


    The date on the screen showed clearly that it was three months after his accident.


    The police didn''t lie to him, he really went missing for three months!


    Coming back to his senses, Shen Jiaming realized that his hands were trembling. He first called Fatty, but this time, she did not answer his call. He tried a few more times, and finally a middle-aged woman answered. Her voice was a bit hoarse, and her voice was muffled, as if she had just cried.


    The lady on the other side of the phone asked Shen Jiaming, "Who are you?"


    Shen Jiaming said, "Sorry, I called the wrong number."


    He called his sister again. When his sister heard his voice, she immediately cried and shouted loudly: "Shen Jiaming, you little brat, where have you been these past three months!"


    Shen Jiaming''s parents had left each other''s side since he was young and he had always lived with his sister Shen Jia Ying. Later on, his sister toiled a lot for him, until she met his brother-in-law and gave birth to his nephew. Only then did she have a happy life.


    The moment his sister heard the news that he had returned, she immediately ran over, regardless of whether it was night or not. When Shen Jia Ying saw Shen Jiaming, he immediately ignored everything and started crying.


    "Shen Jiaming, tell me, where have you been these past three months? Do you know how worried your sister is? You grew up by my side and ran away on your own, but you didn''t even tell me about it. Do you know what the police told me? With the car destroyed, the chances of a life inside were very small. They would try their best to find it! Shen Jiaming, you... You really make me worry! "


    Shen Jiaming''s brother-in-law, Wei Ruizhi hurriedly rushed forward and hugged his wife''s shoulders, coaxing her in a low voice, "Don''t cry, don''t cry, aren''t you guys already back?"


    He raised his head, and revealed a helpless smile towards Shen Jiaming, and even shot Shen Jiaming a look, telling him to coax his sister.


    Although Wei Ruizhi was Shen Jia Ying''s husband and his nephew Wei Tongtong''s father, for some reason, he could not get close to him. Even if he went to Shen Jia Ying''s home, the two of them had just exchanged greetings, Wei Ruizhi would go and busy himself with his own things, then Shen Jiaming would go and play with the little friend Wei Tongtong.

 C15

    Seeing her own sister crying like that, Shen Jiaming also wanted to explain something. However, even he didn''t understand why he didn''t die even after throwing himself off the cliff. He had only slept for two hours, yet three months had passed just by the time he opened his eyes.


    He did not question where he had gone to these three months. Instead, he warned Shen Jia Ying carefully, "Jia Ming, don''t go climb the mountain anymore, it''s too dangerous. You''re fine this time, if something were to happen to you, how are you going to let your sister live in the future?"


    "Sis, I promise I won''t be like this ever again."


    Shen Jia Ying was a meticulous person, upon realizing that Shen Jiaming had left some noodles in the kitchen, he asked him: "Have you eaten yet?"


    With that, he wiped away his tears and got up to cook for Shen Jiaming. Shen Jiaming anxiously followed behind, and said anxiously: "Sis, there''s no need to cook, I just called for takeout, I think we''ll arrive in a while."


    Hearing his words, Shen Jia Ying felt at ease.


    Shen Jiaming brought his sister back to the living room. When he raised his head, he saw his brother-in-law, Wei Ruizhi, looking at the closed door of the main bedroom.


    He asked, "Brother-in-law, what''s wrong?"


    Wei Ruizhi came back to reality and smiled at him, then shook his head: "Nothing."


    Shen Jia Ying reminded Shen Jiaming once again. Because he was worried about the little child at home, he could only follow Wei Ruizhi back first.


    Not long after they had left, the doorbell rang again. Shen Jiaming walked out and saw the little brother that came to send him off.


    Just as Shen Jiaming was about to close the door, he saw the little boy again.


    It was already past ten at night, yet a little boy was still running around in the corridor. Shen Jiaming could not help but ask, "Why are you still not coming home?"


    The take-out young man turned around, looking confused as he said, "Big brother, I just received the money and was about to leave."


    Shen Jiaming awkwardly explained, "I''m not talking about you, I''m talking about that little boy."


    "Little boy?" The take-out young man was at a loss. He looked at the empty corridor and said, "Other than me, there''s no one else here!"


    Shen Jiaming looked and as expected, the little boy was no longer in the corridor.


    Shen Jiaming waved goodbye to the young man from before, letting him go and close the door himself. When he turned his head, he saw that Sheng Jiuzhou was standing behind him, silently and soundlessly, causing him to jump in fright.


    He held onto his lunchbox and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He couldn''t help but start to teach her a lesson: "Ah Jiu, don''t suddenly appear behind others. It''s very scary.


    Sheng Jiuzhou was still wearing the black cape with her fair skin wrapped inside, her entire person was pitch black. Shen Jiaming could not bear to watch anymore, he caressed her hair and said: "Tomorrow, I''ll bring you to buy clothes. Please change out of your traditional Chinese and Chinese style clothes, and come over to eat first. As for me, I originally wanted to cook noodles, but then I realized that you like to eat meat, so I specifically bought you a bowl of chicken noodle soup. "I haven''t eaten anything all day, I must be starving ¡­"


    He was talking nonstop when he realized that Sheng Jiuzhou had not followed him at all. He placed the take-out food on the table, turned around and went back into the living room to look for her. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Sheng Jiuzhou taking off his cloak, revealing the clothes underneath.


    The clothes were bright red and were made of silk, so it was hard to tell which era they came from. All he knew was that it was an old costume, very similar to the ones in ancient costume dramas. Many patterns were embroidered on the bright red silk cloth with golden threads. Shen Jiaming could not call out any of these patterns, but they were extremely familiar to him, like those patterns engraved on the Tomb Hole walls.


    The more Shen Jiaming looked at it, the weirder he felt it was. He couldn''t help but point at the clothes on her body and ask, "Your clothes, were they made according to the murals on the Tomb Hole''s walls? Aiya, I say, you little girls, you sure are courageous. You have a unique personality, you actually dare to wear clothes like this. "


    Sheng Jiuzhou seemed to be displeased by what Shen Jiaming had said. He lowered his head and stared at the clothes on his body, and frowned.


    Shen Jiaming felt that he had probably gone overboard with his words, and that it would easily hurt the heart of his country''s future flowers. He immediately shook his head and changed the topic, "Alright, alright, stop looking at it, let''s go eat first."

 C16

    The little girl really did like to eat meat.


    Shen Jiaming came to this conclusion after eating two whole batches of Orloff Chicken Rice. He was glad that he had ordered more. Otherwise, it was very likely that this little girl would not be full.


    After Sheng Jiuzhou finished eating, he had originally wanted her to take a bath so that she could sleep. Unexpectedly, after Sheng Jiuzhou finished eating, she did not wash up, but went straight back to the main bedroom, laid on the bed, and continued to sleep. Even when Shen Jiaming called her several times, he did not wake her up.


    Unable to wake her up, Shen Jiaming gave up. He took a bath, went to the guest room to flip over his bedding and went to sleep in the guest room. Before he went to sleep, he took out his landline and called his girlfriend, Qin Feifei.


    In fact, he had thought of calling her as soon as he got back. However, when the time came for him to make the phone call, he was a little nervous and didn''t dare to dial the number. He remembered that when he was falling down the cliff, he regretted not marrying Qin Feifei the most. However, humans were very strange. Now that he was able to survive, he clearly had the chance to complete his regrets. However, he started to hesitate and didn''t want to get married again.


    Yes, he didn''t want to get married.


    When he was four years old, his parents divorced and separated. He was superfluous at his father''s house and superfluous at his mother''s. If not for his elder sister Shen Jia Ying accompanying him, he would not even know what the meaning of living in this world was.


    Marriage was not a path to happiness for him, but a heavy chain that frightened him. He was afraid that he could not afford it and that he would harm his children.


    After hesitating for a long time, he didn''t pay attention to the time and immediately dialed Qin Feifei''s number.


    The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. When Shen Jiaming was about to give up, the phone finally connected.


    "Hello, who is this?"


    Just as Shen Jiaming wanted to speak, he heard a man''s voice coming out from the phone. This voice sounded familiar, so he should know this voice.


    He thought, he did not make the wrong call, so he said: "Hello, I''m Shen Jiaming. I''m looking for Qin Feifei."


    "Shen Jiaming? Brother Shen? " The person on the other side of the phone suddenly shouted loudly, and anxiously shouted: "Brother Shen, you? You''re still alive? Where are you? Where are you now? "


    With these few sentences, Shen Jiaming already knew who the person who answered the phone was. This person was You Lilin, and was also a close friend of his and Fatty. Although their relationship wasn''t as deep as his, Fatty''s, they had already known each other for more than twenty years. Usually, the few of them would gather together to have fun, but this time, he also went to the mountain climbing event.


    Shen Jiaming knew that he had already been missing for three months, so he found it hard to explain. "Ah, I just returned, I''m at home now."


    You Lilin was on the other end of the phone, hurriedly saying, "Brother Shen, it''s good that you are back, tomorrow I will bring my brothers to visit you."


    Then, the call was quickly cut off.


    Shen Jiaming was stupefied. He remembered that he was obviously calling Qin Feifei, and he did not dial the wrong number, so why did he call You Lilin?


    Just as he was in a daze, the landline phone rang again. The number was Qin Feifei''s mobile phone. He reached out to pick up the call, and immediately heard Qin Feifei shouting excitedly on the other end of the phone: "Shen Jiaming, is that you? You''re still alive? "You''re still alive ¡­"


    Qin Feifei only spoke two sentences before she sobbed and could no longer speak anymore.


    Shen Jiaming said to her through the phone, "Fei Fei, don''t cry, I''m still alive, I''m still alive and well ¡­"


    Qin Feifei finally stopped crying and asked him resolutely and decisively: "Where are you, I''ll go and find you now!"


    Shen Jiaming said: "I''m at home, it''s so late, don''t come over, I''ll go look for you tomorrow morning, be good and stay home."


    "No, Jia Ming, I will go look for you now, I ¡­" Qin Feifei was about to say something when You Lilin''s voice suddenly came out from the phone.


    "Fei Fei, Brother Shen is right. It''s already so late, you should stop looking for him. We''ll go see him tomorrow."


    After You Lilin finished speaking, the call ended.

 C17

    Shen Jiaming stared at the phone barrel in his hand, he thought for a long time, and felt that something was amiss, as though there were many things that were beyond his control.


    He put down the landline and looked up to see that the clock on the wall was pointing to midnight.


    He couldn''t help but frown. At midnight, Qin Feifei and You Lilin were actually together?


    Before he could think about it, he heard the sounds of children running and jumping in the corridor outside. The child was not only running and making a ruckus, but also mumbling and singing loudly from time to time.


    Shen Jiaming thought for a while, and also didn''t know which household had such a big child. Could it be that they moved here during the three months he was missing?


    He thought the child would be all right in a moment, but when he took a bath and went back to bed in the guest room, he could still hear the boy singing and dancing.


    Although this house of his could not be considered the king of buildings in the city, it was still one of the most upscale residential areas. He had lived here for nearly three years, so why was he unable to find that the soundproofing effect of this floor was that bad? He thought that after this period of time, he would definitely file a complaint!


    The children''s rowdy noises continued, but Shen Jiaming was really too sleepy, falling asleep as he touched his pillow.


    The next morning, before six o''clock, the doorbell rang. Shen Jiaming did not wake up, he grinded his teeth in anger and could only leave his blanket and go to the door.


    When he looked through the door mirror, he realized that it was Qin Feifei, You Lilin and his other comrades who were standing there. He never thought that You Lilin would actually bring these people to see him. He saw that Fatty was standing at the back of the crowd and could not help but shake his head. He did not expect that Fatty would actually follow him to cause trouble.


    He turned around and looked at the main bedroom. The door was closed, so Sheng Jiuzhou probably did not wake up. He opened the door quickly, saving them the chance to ring the bell outside.


    When the door opened, Qin Feifei threw herself into Shen Jiaming''s embrace, and started crying while hugging him.


    Shen Jiaming consoled her, "Fei Fei, don''t cry, didn''t I come back already? Isn''t that right? "


    However, Qin Feifei still continued to hug him tightly, not letting go. She shook her head and did not speak, only crying in his embrace.


    Shen Jiaming raised his head helplessly, and realized that the other brothers'' expressions were all a little awkward. Some of them did not even dare to raise their head to look at him, and he looked over, purposely avoiding the look in their eyes.


    You Lilin went forward to support Qin Feifei''s shoulders, and considerately advised her, "Fei Fei, don''t cry, Brother Shen is already back, right? It''s not good for the child in your belly to get so excited. "


    Upon hearing the word "child", Shen Jiaming was completely dazed. He pushed Qin Feifei away and stared straight at her, unable to say a word.


    Although he and Qin Feifei had been friends for a few years, he wasn''t the type of person to live with his girlfriend before marriage.


    If Qin Feifei was really pregnant, then this child definitely wouldn''t be his!


    You Lilin immediately took a step forward, and obediently stood in front of Shen Jiaming, with his head bowed as if he was admitting his mistake. He knew that it was difficult to say anything, and his expression was a little conflicted, but in the end, he clenched his teeth and said: "Brother Shen, I am the one who has let you down, Fei Fei is ¡­ She''s pregnant with my child, and we''ve already registered for marriage. "


    When Shen Jiaming heard it, he suddenly realised that it was no wonder that Qin Feifei was together with You Lilin last night.


    He slowly reached out and pushed Qin Feifei away.

 C18

    Qin Feifei suddenly shouted loudly, "Jia Ming, listen to me, it''s not like this, it''s not like this, my being with You Lilin is a misunderstanding! After what happened to you, I thought that you had already died. That was why I got so upset and got drunk, so I ended up sleeping with You Lilin. I didn''t think I''d be pregnant just once. I''ve been waiting for you, but you haven''t come back yet. I''m in despair, and I feel that since I don''t have you, it doesn''t matter who I marry. So, for the sake of my child, I agreed to You Lilin''s proposal. Jia Ming, can you forgive me? You''re the only person I love, and I''ve never loved anyone else! I promise you, I will divorce You Lilin, and I will take care of the child in my stomach! Jia Ming, I beg you, please don''t leave me, I beg you ¡­ "


    When Qin Feifei said these words, You Lilin''s expression was extremely pained, and when he looked at Shen Jiaming, it was with a pleading expression. He wanted Shen Jiaming to reject him. That was his son, and his heart ached for Shen Jiaming! Finally, he couldn''t help but open his mouth and plead, "Brother Shen, I know I''m not a thing, but I really like Fei Fei. Since the first time you brought Fei Fei over to meet us, I''ve liked her. But I knew then that she was your girlfriend, and I could only watch. However, Brother Shen, something happened to you later on. Falling off the cliff, unknown whether you are dead or alive, the police all said that the chances of you surviving is very small, I saw that Fei Fei was so sad, she spent all day drinking and drinking, I accompanied her to drink, I didn''t expect ¡­ I didn''t expect that when I was unable to control myself, I would... He had made a mistake. Brother Shen, please forgive us when you see that Fei Fei already has a child in her womb! "


    Qin Feifei shook his head, held onto Shen Jiaming''s hand tightly and shouted loudly, "Jia Ming, Jia Ming, don''t listen to his nonsense. He and I were purely accident, you know, the only person I love is you, no one else has ever!"


    Shen Jiaming looked at Qin Feifei who had cried to the point of tears, and then looked at You Lilin, who subconsciously reached out to support Qin Feifei. In the end, Shen Jiaming shook his head and said: "Fei Fei, since things have already come to this point, you chose to walk this path.


    When he said this, Shen Jiaming''s eyes turned red. He was his age, and although he had talked to a few girlfriends before, Qin Feifei had the longest period of time. He just hadn''t thought that such a stupid thing would happen to him.


    When Qin Feifei heard that Shen Jiaming wanted to give up on her, he shouted and cried while holding onto Shen Jiaming''s arm without letting go, she raised her hand and swore to the heavens, "Jia Ming, listen to me, I will take care of this child completely, I will break off all ties with You Lilin completely, I hope you can give me another chance, I beg you!"


    Shen Jiaming did not speak anymore, he only turned around and no longer looked at Qin Feifei. He couldn''t be blamed for being so heartless. One was his lover, the other was his brother. He didn''t want to hurt either of them. Since Qin Feifei was able to accept You Lilin during the three months he was missing, then she must have liked him a little as well. Since they liked each other, even if he liked Qin Feifei, it would be impossible for him to be with her again. He was not You Lilin, and did not want to break other people''s trash.


    Qin Feifei cried until his bones broke, and in the end, was carried away by You Lilin. Because of what she did, those brothers who came to see Shen Jiaming before couldn''t stay any longer. They spoke a few more words with Shen Jiaming before leaving in a hurry. Fatty did not speak to Shen Jiaming alone, seeing You Lilin carrying Qin Feifei and walking away, he turned and followed.

 C19

    After everyone had left, Shen Jiaming then slumped down on the ground, placed his head on his shoulders and started to silently cry.


    It would be a lie to say that Qin Feifei was not sad. Especially since she was able to be with his good buddy in the short span of three months. This sort of relationship made Shen Jiaming, who was afraid of marriage, even more confused.


    What is love? What is responsibility? What is loyalty?


    Although You Lilin and him hadn''t been brothers for as long as Fatty, they had grown up together, fought together, caused trouble together, studied together, and went to university together. Their relationship was even closer than that of brothers. But, You Lilin ¡­ Was it because he had been missing for three months and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive, that he was able to take advantage of the situation and enter?


    What is this? This was a double betrayal!


    He began to cry silently, his shoulders shaking, revealing his emotions.


    Suddenly, a very soft sound came from the floor. Someone had walked over.


    He looked up and saw the feet in white cloth socks. The feet were very small, about the size of a little girl. Only now did he remember that he was not only at home, but Sheng Jiuzhou as well.


    Without wearing his shoes, Sheng Jiuzhou walked to the front of him barefooted and squatted down. He reached out to stroke his head and softly said: "Don''t be sad."


    Shen Jiaming was amused by her serious look. She was so young, yet she still wanted to come over and comfort him.


    He carelessly wiped his face with his sleeve, not allowing Sheng Jiuzhou to see his tears. He got up and said: "Ah Jiu, have you woken up? Let''s eat first! I''m fine, you don''t have to worry, I''m still responsible for feeding you well. "Oh right, there''s nothing to eat at home. I''ll cook a bowl of noodles for you and deal with it first. Later, I''ll take you out and we''ll have a good meal."


    Shen Jiaming actually had a big advantage. If he met with an obstacle, he would not be so stubborn. Since that was the case, even if he cracked his brains, it would be of no avail.


    While talking, he turned his head and saw the big red ancient clothing Sheng Jiuzhou was wearing. He shook his head and said: "After we finish eating, I''ll give you two sets of clothes. First, change out of this strange clothes you have on you. A little girl should look like a little girl, don''t make yourself so different. "


    As he said that, he cooked a bowl of noodles for Sheng Jiuzhou and himself. As there were not many dishes at home, he only added salt and seasoning to the soup, which could still be considered delicious.


    After dinner, he found a new shirt and a new pair of jeans from inside the cabinet. He pushed Sheng Jiuzhou inside the room and ordered her, "I''ll give you ten minutes.


    With that, he mercilessly pushed Sheng Jiuzhou into the house and stood at the door, waiting for the right time to strike.


    However, he only stood there for a short while before he went to find a phone to call. He did not continue to supervise Sheng Jiuzhou in changing clothes. Since he had been missing for three months, he had to explain the company clearly. Although he had a high position in the company and could be considered as half a boss, he still had to leave the process.


    When the company''s boss heard he came back, he was very surprised. He also heard that he was not in a good mental state and needed to apply for leave to adjust his mental state for a period of time. The boss immediately agreed and told him to take a good rest and recuperate.


    Shen Jiaming had actually planned to ask for a long leave of absence from the company since a long time ago. He was originally a workaholic, but now he felt that he was the most important person.

 C20

    The matters at the company had finally come to an end. Shen Jiaming walked towards the main bedroom in a happy mood. Ten minutes had passed. He stood at the door of the master bedroom and knocked.


    He knocked once, and the door opened. Sheng Jiuzhou stood at the door, his entire body feeling extremely bashful, he pulled on his clothes, as though he was not used to it.


    When Shen Jiaming saw the clothes on her body, he couldn''t help but laugh. Sheng Jiuzhou was young, and not considered tall, but he was a good 1.85 meters. When he wore his clothes on the little girl''s body, it was obvious that he was a child stealing and wearing adult''s clothes, it was extremely funny.


    He laughed for a long time before bringing Sheng Jiuzhou inside the house. He took out a pair of scissors and cut off a few pieces of her clothes, then modified all of her clothes and pants.


    He first shortened the shirt to the shape of a swallow''s tail, then tied it around her waist. He found the same girdle as his old one and made her fasten it. Then he squatted at her feet and modified the legs of his jeans in an asymmetrical fashion.


    After the transformation, Sheng Jiuzhou turned from an ancient medium to a modern Ha Hanfeng in an instant.


    Shen Jiaming was also in a good mood. He could now understand why the little girls liked to play with dolls, because the feeling of dressing people up felt really good. It was probably because he was worried about Sheng Jiuzhou and the feeling of being double-betrayed by You Lilin that he no longer had time to think about it. Instead, his heart was not that heavy.


    After dressing up, Shen Jiaming decided to buy some clothes and other daily necessities for Sheng Jiuzhou. He was a man, and there was nothing in the house for a girl. With Sheng Jiuzhou''s current situation, he probably wouldn''t be able to find her guardian for a while. He could only continue to take care of her for a while as a temporary guardian.


    After he brought Sheng Jiuzhou out of the room and closed his own door, he thought about the noisy child from last night. Shen Jiaming subconsciously looked towards the corridor, it was empty, there was nothing there. He frowned and looked at the two neighbors'' doors. They were all closed, so he couldn''t tell where the little boy lived.


    He shook his head, thinking that this little boy might also have been mischievous for the whole night, and didn''t bother about him anymore, and brought Sheng Jiuzhou to the underground parking lot.


    Yesterday, when Fatty came to pick him up, he drove his car. Yesterday, Fatty parked his car in the underground parking lot of the small sector. If he hadn''t come out this morning to look for shoes, he probably wouldn''t have been able to see them. He didn''t think that the Fatty was such an unreliable person before, but he didn''t know what was wrong with him this time.


    His family''s elevator could directly go down to the basement level one, while the parking lot was at the basement level one. When the elevator door opened, Shen Jiaming led Sheng Jiuzhou out of the elevator. They searched the underground parking lot but did not find his car.


    Shen Jiaming stood in the middle of the parking lot, holding the car keys and shaking it all around, he couldn''t help but complain, "Where did this Fatty park my car at? Why is he so unreliable right now? "


    He spoke a few sentences before turning to look at Sheng Jiuzhou, afraid that she would be anxious waiting for him. He smiled at her and said: "Ah Jiu, wait for me here.


    Sheng Jiuzhou seemed to still be struggling with the uncomfortable clothes on his body, he did not even raise his head to look at him, and only symbolically nodded his head, which was considered perfunctory.


    When Shen Jiaming saw that Sheng Jiuzhou was so obedient today, he was immediately in a good mood. Ever since he was young, he didn''t have a sister, but now in front of Sheng Jiuzhou, he actually felt a sense of accomplishment.


    Yes, the feeling of accomplishment of being an elder brother.

 C21

    Shen Jiaming left the security guard in the underground parking lot, then went to find the security guard in the parking lot. After telling him the number of his car and its model, he asked the security guard to come over and help him look for it.


    The security guard was also puzzled. If the car had been parked here last night, it probably wouldn''t have been moved. How could it not have been found? The little security guard searched for a long time, but couldn''t find the car for Shen Jiaming.


    At this moment, Shen Jiaming suddenly turned around, and discovered that Sheng Jiuzhou was not standing at the same place as before. He panicked a little and stopped caring about the security guards and hastily ran over.


    The security guard who was helping Shen Jiaming find his car turned around, only to find that Shen Jiaming had disappeared. He turned his head again and saw a woman standing in front of him. More accurately speaking, it was a girl, about 17 or 18 years old. She was wearing very ha-ha Han clothes, but they looked a bit big and didn''t fit her well. It was as if she was a child secretly wearing adult clothes.


    He felt that this little girl''s appearance was a bit sudden. When he and the owner were looking for a car, they didn''t see this person at all.


    When he saw the little girl standing there quietly, he greeted her, "Why are you here, your family''s master?"


    The little girl stood there dumbly. Hearing his words, she only lifted her eyelids and ignored him. The security guard was young, over twenty years old. He thought he could communicate with the little girl based on his age, but the other party ignored him. Just as he was about to speak again, he saw a dusty car behind the girl, as if no one had touched it for months.


    He was originally only curious about the car behind the girl, but when he saw the license plate number, he became dumbfounded. Wasn''t this car covered in dust the one that the owner had been looking for? How could he stop here? He had been searching with the owner for a long time, and this corner was definitely one he had found before. He definitely would not miss it!


    This underground parking lot was for the convenience of the residents of the district, so it didn''t specify which car would park there. As long as there was a free seat, they could do so. But...


    The guard was speechless for a moment. He pointed to the car behind the little girl and asked, "When did you stand here? Why didn''t I see that car just now? "


    "Your brother is dead." The little girl suddenly spoke up.


    The security guard was shocked and immediately became anxious, "You little brat, what are you saying? Why did you curse people when you opened your mouth! You, you... Let me tell you, in case you are like this, I will cut you apart! "


    "Ah Jiu!"


    Suddenly, Shen Jiaming''s voice came from behind the security guards. The security guard turned his head and saw had come over, he seemed to recognize the little girl who was blabbering nonsense, and immediately asked, "Big brother, do you know this little girl?"


    Shen Jiaming walked to Sheng Jiuzhou''s side and pulled her over. He nodded towards the little guard and said, "This is my little sister."


    Seeing that the two of them were related to each other, the little security guard turned to Shen Jiaming and complained, "Big brother, you should be the one managing this little girl. Curse people! She actually cursed my brother to die! This is too much. You have to understand that I am only that kind of blood brother. This girl is just randomly spouting nonsense. How unlucky! "


    Shen Jiaming was initially confused, but when he heard the security guard speak of it, he immediately knew that it was probably because of Sheng Jiuzhou''s retard. He couldn''t bear to say that it was Sheng Jiuzhou, so he could only apologize to the little security guard.


    The little security guard shook his sleeves and turned around in a huff. Suddenly, Shen Jiaming noticed that someone was standing behind him and was about to collide with him. Shen Jiaming could not help but shout, "Hey, be careful!"

 C22

    After Shen Jiaming shouted, the big bro security guard stopped and turned to look at in confusion. He asked, "Big bro, what else do you want?"


    Shen Jiaming was stunned, he looked at the security guard and blinked his eyes. In the blink of an eye, the person who had blocked the young man had disappeared. There was nothing in front of the young security guard.


    The security little brother saw that Shen Jiaming was silent and took the initiative to speak up, "Big bro, what else do you need? Your car has been found, and I have to get back to work. Aiya, this little sister of yours is really ¡­ You''re the owner, the owner is God, and I''m not going to say anything. "Big brother, I''m leaving."


    Shen Jiaming was originally thinking about the figure he saw just now, when he suddenly heard the security little brother mentioning his own car. He turned his head around in a daze and saw his beloved car at first glance, causing him to be speechless for a moment.


    He remembered that the Fatty had clearly driven there yesterday, and even came so far to pick him up, but how did the car become like this after just one night? There was a thick layer of dust on top of the car, as if no one had moved it for many months.


    Moreover, Shen Jiaming remembered this location clearly. He had come here with the big bro security to check this place previously, he remembered that this place was empty. As he was feeling suspicious, Shen Jiaming turned to look at Sheng Jiuzhou, and asked her, "Ah Jiu, where were you just now?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou kept her head down the entire time, her small hands pulling at the thick clothes on her body, her eyebrows slightly knitted, as if she really did not like the clothes she was wearing.


    When Shen Jiaming asked her a question, she did not reply for a long time. He had to ask again, patiently.


    Sheng Jiuzhou finally raised his head, pointed at the carriage behind him, and said with a tone as gentle as gold, "Yours."


    Shen Jiaming, who was originally a little depressed about Qin Feifei, was suddenly amused by her appearance. He nodded at her and said, "Yes, it''s my car. I don''t know how Fatty got it, but they gave me so much dust in one night. I''ll wipe the mirror first. You get in the car and wait. "


    When Shen Jiaming mentioned the two words "Fatty", Sheng Jiuzhou creased his brows, pursed his lips, and with a somewhat conflicted expression.


    After letting Sheng Jiuzhou get on the car, Shen Jiaming cleaned the windows and mirrors to ensure that the car stopped whenever it was able to. He would wash the car in a car wash somewhere else for a while.


    He checked the condition of the car again, there was enough oil for now. Only then did he nod his head in satisfaction, sat on the driver''s seat, and said to Sheng Jiuzhou: "Ah Jiu, we can set off now."


    When a hand pulled at his seatbelt, Shen Jiaming was still a little taken aback. He remembered that three months ago, when he was still participating in the mountain climbing, he had sat in the same car as Fatty. Fatty drove, and he slept in the back, and because he was lying down, he did not fasten his seat belt.


    He thought back to yesterday when Fatty went to pick him up. He thought for a long time, but was unable to think whether he had actually gone to fasten his seat belt after getting on the car. I think so, but I also don''t think so. He only remembered that Sheng Jiuzhou slept on the back seat during the journey home yesterday.


    Thinking of this, Shen Jiaming''s eyes widened.


    When Fatty came to pick him and Sheng Jiuzhou up yesterday, he actually allowed Sheng Jiuzhou to sleep on the back seat like him? He didn''t stop him for some strange reason? It was clearly because of this incident back then!


    He turned to Sheng Jiuzhou and asked her in a low voice: "Yesterday, when Fatty came to fetch us back, did you sleep well? Lying in the back seat, all right? "


    Sheng Jiuzhou tilted his head slightly, his gaze landed on Shen Jiaming''s body. After sizing him up for a long time, he finally said slowly, "I wasn''t in the carriage yesterday."


    "Huh?" Shen Jiaming did not expect Sheng Jiuzhou to say this. How did they get back yesterday without a car?


    He couldn''t help but laugh. Not caring if Sheng Jiuzhou was willing or not, he stretched out his hand and caressed her hair. He smiled and said: "Ah Jiu, you must have slept soundly. Yesterday, we took the bus to come back, how could you have forgotten!"


    Sheng Jiuzhou seemed to hate Shen Jiaming rubbing his hair, his eyes were round and filled with displeasure. Shen Jiaming laughed, retracted his hand, and started the car attentively.


    Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly whispered: "There''s no car, just no car."


    Shen Jiaming thought that the little girl was only stubborn because she had her hair rubbed and her temper was bad. He agreed: "There''s no car, we aren''t on a car."


    He was about to get out of the garage when he saw the man in front of the security guy in the rearview mirror.


    The man was young, probably only over 20 years old. He wore the working clothes of a construction site. His body was a beige yellow color and he looked dull and honest. He seemed to have been following Shen Jiaming and the others'' cars all along, his expression somewhat blank, as if his legs were not nimble enough, and he was limping as he walked.


    When the car turned out of the underground parking lot, Shen Jiaming couldn''t see him anymore. He thought it was strange, because the man had disappeared in the blink of an eye when he had first seen him, and now he had appeared in the underground parking lot for no apparent reason.


    After coming out, Shen Jiaming had a few things. The first thing he did was to buy a few sets of clothes for Sheng Jiuzhou. Because it was very hot right now, he could only consider buying her a few summer dresses. As for the spring and autumn dresses and winter dresses, he wanted to see if he could find her family when the time came.


    Although Shen Jiaming had dated a few girlfriends before, even to the point that he already started talking about marriage like Qin Feifei, he really didn''t have the experience of buying clothes for a girl, especially for a girl like Sheng Jiuzhou.


    He could only choose a good looking shop, parked the car, and directly brought Sheng Jiuzhou in, allowing the clerk to help him choose.


    The moment Sheng Jiuzhou entered the shop, he looked around, his eyes were filled with novelty, and a smile finally surfaced on his face. This was the first time Shen Jiaming knew her that she was so interested in something!


    As Sheng Jiuzhou''s skin was white, and even whiter than ordinary people, the shop assistant immediately helped her choose a few beautiful princess dresses and had her try them on.


    After Sheng Jiuzhou finished changing, he walked out of the locker room. Shen Jiaming''s eyes lit up, and walked towards her, smiling with satisfaction: "A little girl should look like a little girl, dressed up beautifully like a little princess. This looks pretty good, go and try it out for yourself. "


    Sheng Jiuzhou stood in front of Shen Jiaming, and had been frowning the entire time. He was sizing up the short skirt he was wearing, and his hands were held on both sides of the skirt;


    After Shen Jiaming finished speaking, she suddenly spoke up with an expressionless face, "I''m not some princess."


    "Alright, let''s not be that princess, my young mistress. You should quickly go test out something else." Shen Jiaming thought that she had lost her temper and could only coax her. In any case, he realized that Sheng Jiuzhou was not that hard to get along with, other than being a talkative person, or the occasional shocking words that came out, she was actually very well-behaved. In most cases, he wasn''t willing to get along with her, so he would just follow her.

 C23

    When the shop assistant at the side saw that Shen Jiaming was a big buyer, she immediately recommended a lot of things to him enthusiastically. Her clothes, shoes, and pants were all wrapped up, as if she wanted to repackage Sheng Jiuzhou from top to bottom.


    Shen Jiaming usually earned a lot, so he was relatively wealthy. Therefore, he didn''t feel bad buying a few sets of clothes for Sheng Jiuzhou.


    When the clerk saw Shen Jiaming happily take out his bank card to pay for the money, without the slightest hesitation, she admired him in her heart and couldn''t help but to praise him, "Mister really dotes on my sister, you really are a good brother!"


    She turned her head and saw Sheng Jiuzhou, who had changed into a new set of clothes, and immediately complimented him with her tongue that was like a lotus, "Little girl, you look really good wearing this. Your skin is white, and your age is young. "Little girl, how old are you this year? You look like you''re seventeen or eighteen, but it feels like you''re a child ¡­"


    As the clerk was smiling, Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly opened his mouth. His tone was cold, but his face was still expressionless, "I''m not a little girl, I''m older than you."


    "Huh?" The clerk was surprised for a second, then laughed, "Little girl, you''re kidding. You''re only seventeen or eighteen years old at most, how could you be older than your sister? Look at how much your brother favors you, you''re definitely young."


    Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly turned his head, his eyes cold and his expression scary, scaring the shop assistant out of her wits. She only saw Sheng Jiuzhou''s lips move, as a deep chill spread out from the clerk''s body.


    She heard her say, "I hate it when people call themselves sister in front of me! "Those who dare to call themselves sisters in front of me are all dead."


    Until Shen Jiaming brought Sheng Jiuzhou and left, the clerk was still unable to come back to her senses. She only felt that her entire body was chilly, cold to the bone, so cold that even her teeth were chattering.


    A colleague came over and saw her standing there, her body trembling. He walked over with deep concern and asked, "Xiao Lin, what''s wrong?"


    The shop assistant called Xiao Lin turned around stiffly and looked at her colleague. She tried to speak up a few times, but could not make a sound. Finally, because of the teeth fight, she stammered out, "Cold, I''m cold."


    After drinking a large cup of hot water, the clerk Xiao Lin also did not recover. She could only put on the thick clothing in the shop to keep her body warm.


    Her colleague, who was worried about her, kindly helped her to wrap a blanket around her. Seeing that she was still shivering from the cold, he could not help but ask, "What happened to you? Is he not feeling well? Do you want us to send you to the hospital? "


    Xiao Lin shook his head and turned his head with great difficulty to look at his colleague. He asked her, "Did you see the little girl that man brought here earlier? Did you hear what she said? "


    Xiao Lin''s colleague shook his head, indicating that he did not hear anything. She remembered that the little girl seemed to have been silent all this time. It was the elder brother who had helped her pick out the clothes.


    Little Lin roared, "How could you not have heard? "She clearly said it very loudly. My ears were about to go deaf from her voice ¡­"


    Shen Jiaming was very satisfied with today''s goods. Sheng Jiuzhou''s floor was good, and her figure was not bad, although she looked young, her height was not short, and could be considered to be medium height. No matter what clothes she wore, she could support herself.


    He helped Sheng Jiuzhou buy some clothes, and also bought some daily necessities. In the end, he even blushed as he accompanied Sheng Jiuzhou to pick out a few sets of undergarments. After buying all these, Shen Jiaming brought Sheng Jiuzhou to eat.


    Just as he walked beside the car with Sheng Jiuzhou, he looked up and saw the man he met in the basement parking lot. There was something wrong with his legs, and he was limping after their car, seeming to watch them carefully.


    Shen Jiaming looked at him for a few times, then pulled Sheng Jiuzhou onto the carriage. After getting on the car, he started to instruct Sheng Jiuzhou, "Can you see the man behind the car? It''s not like you''re a good person to follow me from the parking lot all the way here. Be careful, remember to always stay by my side. "


    After he instructed Sheng Jiuzhou, without waiting for Sheng Jiuzhou to speak, he stepped on the accelerator and drove out, attempting to get rid of the man. Right now, the public security wasn''t good, those kind of men were the scariest. If they really set their eyes on a little girl like Sheng Jiuzhou, then they would really be screwed.


    A few minutes later, he pulled into the middle of the street and glanced in the rearview mirror. The man was far behind him.


    Shen Jiaming was still not proud of himself, but when he saw the rearview mirror, he gasped.


    That man, that man whose legs and legs were a bit inconvenient, actually ¡­ And behind his car!


    By now his car was in the middle of the road, with cars in front and back, and the man was standing in the open space between his car and the back, following at a leisurely pace.


    Shen Jiaming was shocked, and quickly whistled as a warning. It was unknown what the driver of the car behind him was thinking. A living person was standing in front of his car, blocking his view. He could even swagger as he drove.


    The speed on the road was very fast, Shen Jiaming could not take it anymore, he found a parking spot nearby and stopped the car. Then he pulled the door open and got out of the car angrily. He ran straight to the man in the middle of the street and tried to pull him to the side of the road because he was standing in a dangerous position and could cause a car accident if he wasn''t careful.


    While Shen Jiaming was hiding in the carriage, he shouted to the man to hurry over, but the man turned a deaf ear to him, as if he did not hear Shen Jiaming''s voice.


    Shen Jiaming dodged to the left but dodged again. Finally, the last car roared past him and he ran towards the man''s position.


    And then he was stunned, frozen in place.


    His ears were filled with the sound of a car horn, and the driver was shouting, "Hey, what''s going on with you, kid? You want to die? What are you running to the middle of the road for? If it wasn''t for laozi stepping on the brakes in time, do you think you could still be standing and talking! Hey, what''s going on with you? I''m talking to you! If you want to die, can''t you just stop us from driving? "


    After being scolded, Shen Jiaming finally regained his senses and hastily apologized to the driver. When he reached the safe zone, he still hadn''t come back to his senses.


    There was no one on the street who was inconvenient for his legs. Could he have seen wrongly? However, he clearly remembered that the man was right behind his car.


    Shen Jiaming really couldn''t understand, so he opened the car door and returned to the car. Sheng Jiuzhou, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was looking at him strangely.


    He smiled awkwardly at Sheng Jiuzhou and explained frantically: "I might have been hallucinating just now, I saw wrongly."


    Perhaps, he thought, something had happened to him this time, leaving behind some sort of side effect. Maybe one day he should go to a psychiatrist.

 C24

    After Shen Jiaming finished explaining, Sheng Jiuzhou continued to look at him weirdly, with suspicion in his pitch-black eyes, as if he did not understand the meaning of his words.


    He also felt that he had been rather nervous recently, so he could only force a smile. The other matters were not easy to explain. While driving to eat, he chose a restaurant that he frequented. The meat dishes here were not bad, and the few brothers from Fatty were all willing to eat here. After Qin Feifei got to know him, he also liked the dishes here. He thought, for a girl like Sheng Jiuzhou who loved to eat meat, she would also like this place quite a lot right?


    After parking the car, he brought Sheng Jiuzhou out of the car, and just as he walked to the entrance of the restaurant, he met You Lilin head on.


    You Lilin carried a few takeout boxes in his hands. He must have specifically come to this restaurant to buy takeout. When he saw Shen Jiaming, he looked a little embarrassed and called out, "Brother Shen."


    In the past, Shen Jiaming treated You Lilin as a brother, but now, he was in no mood to be polite with him.


    You Lilin saw that Shen Jiaming was cold, he could not find anything to say, "Brother Shen also came to this place to eat? This dish tastes pretty good. Ever since Fei Fei became pregnant, I only like to eat at this restaurant. I''m here to order takeaway food for Fei Fei. Brother Shen came here alone? "


    While he was talking, he glanced behind Shen Jiaming and saw a little girl wearing a new dress. She looked like a little princess, but she looked completely naive and seemed to be unaware of the world''s affairs. He hastily asked, "Brother Shen brought this young lady here for dinner? "Hurry, hurry, hurry. I''ll get the boss here to leave a room for you guys."


    "No need." Shen Jiaming coldly rejected him. Without saying anything, he directly brought Sheng Jiuzhou into the restaurant.


    He was a regular customer of this restaurant. Back then, You Lilin and the others were all brought here by him, yet You Lilin actually had the nerve to act like he knew the boss very well in front of him? How come he didn''t realise that You Lilin was like that in the past? Only such a person could coax his girlfriend into bed when his bro''s life was uncertain and his corpse was not yet cold.


    The moment he thought about Qin Feifei and You Lilin, Shen Jiaming''s mood immediately dropped. He said he didn''t mind, but that was a lie. He did mind it, and he did mind it so much.


    Sheng Jiuzhou stood right in front of him. She was shorter than him, so she could only raise her head to look at him. As if sensing his downcast expression, she pointed to the French windows in the restaurant.


    Shen Jiaming followed Sheng Jiuzhou''s finger and looked outside through the huge window. He only saw You Lilin carrying a take-out lunch box and walking towards the place where he had parked the car, with Fatty following behind him.


    Shen Jiaming unhappily frowned and thought to himself, "This Fatty was actually here with You Lilin? He actually didn''t greet me, and had instead been following You Lilin? "


    Sheng Jiuzhou retracted his hand, and slowly said the word "retribution". He then continued to look at her, and continued to play with the small skirt on her body.


    Seeing the Fatty following You Lilin and even getting on the carriage with You Lilin, Shen Jiaming''s heart became complicated. He also knew that You Lilin was their mutual friend, but ¡­ With regards to the matter between You Lilin and the Fatty, he still found it hard to believe. He never thought that his best bro, the Fatty, would actually follow You Lilin out on his back.


    While he was still thinking, the food had already been served. Just like before, Sheng Jiuzhou was extremely interested in the meat dishes, and almost didn''t even touch a single piece of the vegetables. Shen Jiaming helped her eat more, allowing her to eat more than enough.


    Because of Sheng Jiuzhou''s greedy little appearance, Shen Jiaming''s depressed mood had improved quite a bit. He could not help but say: "Since you like eating meat so much, why did you offend Er Feng and go into the deep mountains and forests'' Tomb Hole by yourself? There''s nothing there but coffins. Where are you going to eat meat? "


    Sheng Jiuzhou was still chewing on the meat, and he slowly raised his head. His eyes were clear as he looked at Shen Jiaming.


    Shen Jiaming was holding onto a pair of chopsticks, and when he saw her raise her head, he raised it and looked at her. Then, he smiled at her with goodwill.


    After a long while, Shen Jiaming still thought that she wouldn''t answer, but she swallowed the meat in her mouth, and actually replied: "There''s no meat in the Tomb Hole."


    When she said this, she shook her head, serious and serious, like a schoolboy answering a teacher''s question.


    Shen Jiaming realized, the longer he spent time with Sheng Jiuzhou, the more he found her interesting. She was just a little girl, her mind filled with whimsical thoughts.


    The atmosphere during their meal was very good, so Shen Jiaming started to ask about Sheng Jiuzhou''s matters in an orderly and kind manner. He asked her for her name before, and she said that it was Sheng Jiuzhou. After that, he asked for her real name, age, parents'' name, and home address at the police station.


    Shen Jiaming felt that maybe Sheng Jiuzhou, who had eaten his fill, was willing to say it, so he chose a question that she could easily answer and asked her, "Ah Jiu, how old are you this year?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou raised his eyes, his expression was at a loss, and he pondered for a long time. Just when Shen Jiaming thought that he wouldn''t be able to ask her about it today, she slowly said: "Elder sister said that I am already twenty years old, and am a big girl."


    "Elder sister? Twenty? " Shen Jiaming was a little surprised, he never thought that this little girl Sheng Jiuzhou was actually already an adult. He thought that she was a high school student or a high school student, and thought that she had rebelled, to actually do such a bizarre thing. If she hadn''t stuck close to him while he was at the police station and refused to tell the police about her situation, he wouldn''t have relented and taken her home as her temporary guardian.


    He chuckled twice, and then said somewhat embarrassedly, "You''re already over twenty years old. I thought you were underage, so I brought you back ¡­"


    After saying all this, Shen Jiaming was suddenly stunned. He felt that something was strange. He was just a manager of a company. Although he had some money, he was definitely not rich. Even if he met a lost girl like Sheng Jiuzhou, and was unable to find her family members for the time being, the police would not allow him to be her temporary guardian. Furthermore, he was an unmarried man.


    The more Shen Jiaming thought about it, the more nervous he became, and cold sweat uncontrollably emerged from his forehead. He suddenly realized that there seemed to be a lot of things that were not within the scope of logic that he could understand. It seemed to be strange, not only illegal, but also illogical.


    For example, the man they met on the street just now. He was running towards him and wanted to save him, but in the blink of an eye, that person disappeared.


    Also, Sheng Jiuzhou ¡­ He, Shen Jiaming, had never been a warmhearted person. He had always been on guard, so why would he willingly take care of a little girl he had just met, and even go against some procedures, and bring her home?

 C25

    The more Shen Jiaming thought about it, the more cold sweat flowed down his head, but when he saw Sheng Jiuzhou''s pair of seemingly innocent eyes, the doubts he had in his mind immediately disappeared.


    That pair of eyes was pitch-black, bright and deep, as if there was bewitching power within them. In an instant, all the questions that Shen Jiaming had considered before vanished from his mind, and even he himself had forgotten what he was thinking about just now.


    He took the chopsticks and was only interested in giving Sheng Jiuzhou more food, and couldn''t help but say, "Eat more, eat more ¡­"


    Eating this meal did not take long, because Sheng Jiuzhou only ate the meat, and very quickly, all of the meat was annihilated by her. Not a single bit was left.


    He half-joked towards Sheng Jiuzhou, "Ah Jiu, you can eat so much meat, you will make me eat so much."


    Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly raised his head and blinked his eyes as he looked at Shen Jiaming. He licked his lips and then quickly stuffed the last piece of meat on the plate into his mouth.


    Shen Jiaming was amused by her, and laughed: "Ah Jiu, don''t worry. As long as you follow me for one day, I won''t let you lose food. "Remember, follow big bro, there''s meat to eat."


    On the way back, Shen Jiaming brought Sheng Jiuzhou to stroll around the supermarket. As soon as he entered the supermarket, Sheng Jiuzhou was attracted by the numerous exquisite goods that filled the entire place. He happily ran between the shelves, just like a few years old child. In addition to the small skirt she was wearing, she had the aura of a full girl, just like a little child.


    Shen Jiaming found it hard to believe that she was already twenty years old. He took the opportunity when Sheng Jiuzhou was playing happily to ask her, "Ah Jiu, you said just now that your sister said you are twenty. What about your sister? "


    Sheng Jiuzhou was holding onto a fluffy doll in her hand, it was the brown little bear''s, and the little bear was wearing a pink plaid shirt, looking extremely cute.


    She did not reply Shen Jiaming. Instead, she raised the little bear in her hand in front of, blinked her eyes, and looked at him silently.


    It was all in words.


    Shen Jiaming understood what she meant. She wanted this little bear and actually asked for his opinion?


    "You want it?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou nodded, but she reacted quickly this time, and when he finished, she gave him a reply. Shen Jiaming helplessly shook his head, and could not help but grumble in his heart: This is what I want, so I just started to talk to people, normally, when I don''t want to, I don''t even want to talk.


    He smiled and said: "Ah Jiu, it''s fine if you want it, but tell me the name of your sister, and where she is so that I can send you home."


    "She''s dead."


    Sheng Jiuzhou''s voice was ice-cold, without the slightest emotion. She retracted the bear''s hand, then reluctantly placed it on the shelf. Finally, she gritted her teeth and retracted her hand.


    Shen Jiaming didn''t think that she would put the things back where they belonged. This action of hers was very unexpected. He suddenly felt that Sheng Jiuzhou did not seem to be such a willful girl. She knew what she could and couldn''t take.


    He could not bear to see her dejected look, so he could not help but open his mouth and say: "Ah Jiu, if you like it, then take it."


    Sheng Jiuzhou turned her head, and in that moment, she clearly saw Shen Jiaming''s eyes light up, and the expression on her face became spirited, as though the current Sheng Jiuzhou was the real Sheng Jiuzhou.


    After Sheng Jiuzhou received the Bear Cub, she had always been frowning and smiling as she followed Shen Jiaming. She did not look at other things either, as if she was only interested in the little bear in her hands. Even when they were in the meat section, she didn''t react.


    Shen Jiaming saw that she was still hugging onto Xiao Xiong and did not let go, and teased her intentionally, "Ah Jiu, do you still want to eat meat? If you want to eat meat, put down the toy in your hand first. "


    "No!" This time, Sheng Jiuzhou replied decisively without the slightest hesitation. Originally, Shen Jiaming was prepared to accept it, but he suddenly became speechless.


    The only thing he could do was to laugh and say: "Looks like we, Ah Jiu, are still young children. You still say that you''re already twenty, who would believe that! "


    "I''m twenty years old. I''m no longer a child."


    "In my opinion, you are just a child!"


    Sheng Jiuzhou looked at Shen Jiaming, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, his eyes pitch black, and his expression extremely serious. She slowly opened her mouth, "Perhaps, I am not twenty years old ¡­ "I''m much, much older than twenty ¡­"


    Shen Jiaming compromised. He knew that he wouldn''t be able to get anything out of her, so he immediately changed the topic and asked, "You said before that you have an elder sister. She ¡­ Is she really? "


    "She''s not an older sister, she''s a liar." Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly lowered his head, no longer caring about Shen Jiaming who was focused on hugging the little bear, his face once again revealing a smile.


    It was not good for Shen Jiaming to continue asking, and he did not say anything else.


    After the two of them finished settling the bill in the supermarket, Shen Jiaming got on the car with Sheng Jiuzhou and prepared to go home. After he put away the things he bought, the moment he opened the car door, he saw Sheng Jiuzhou, who was sitting in the front seat, still hugging Little Bear tightly, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch her bear away.


    Shen Jiaming actually didn''t understand Sheng Jiuzhou at all. The two of them had only known each other for less than three days, but he felt that Sheng Jiuzhou''s preference for this little bear doll had already exceeded what he had expected.


    As soon as he started the car, he saw the man in the rearview mirror again. The man was as honest as ever, limping after their car in his beige work clothes.


    Shen Jiaming gasped, he could not resist stepping on the accelerator and immediately drove the car away, leaving the person far behind.


    Because he saw that the man''s legs and body were splattered with blood. Clearly, he was not some kind of scoundrel.


    Shen Jiaming watched the rearview mirror for a moment, and only after he confirmed that he had thrown the person off did he finally let go of his worries. He heaved a sigh of relief. He was curious as to why no one had noticed him when he was walking on the road, covered in blood. This man clearly had bad legs, but why was he always following behind his car? He''s already parked in several different places!


    Just as he was thinking of this, he accidentally turned his head and saw Sheng Jiuzhou. Her head leaned on the back of the chair and tilted to the side. Shen Jiaming couldn''t help but laugh, this girl had actually fallen asleep while hugging the little bear.


    Her eyes were tightly shut, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly as she breathed. Her skin was fair and her facial features were delicate. She had fallen asleep so peacefully, and the expression on her face was very relaxed. Shen Jiaming suddenly felt that she didn''t seem to be as young as she looked, because her current appearance looked as though she had experienced many vicissitudes of life.


    Sheng Jiuzhou should be someone with a story.

 C26

    CHAPTER 26 BROTHER''S DEAD


    Since it wasn''t a weekend and there weren''t many cars on the road during the day, they soon reached home.


    Shen Jiaming held the car card in his hand, and just as he drove into the residential area, and before he even turned the corner and headed towards the car park, a person suddenly ran over from the hood of the car.


    He took a closer look and realized it was the young security guard who had helped him find a car in the morning.


    The young security guard was almost hit by the car and had yet to recover from his shock. His eyes were bloodshot as he ran outside.


    Shen Jiaming rolled down the window and worriedly asked, "This little brother, what happened to you? What happened? "


    The security guy was still crying, but when he heard someone call him, he immediately cried out, "My brother''s dead, my brother''s dead ¡­" "Wow wow wow, just now someone called me and said that my brother got into an accident at the construction site and was smashed to death by a pile of steel pipes ¡­"


    The security guard was too upset and panicked. He didn''t know what to do other than cry.


    He was followed by two young men, probably his colleagues, who hailed a taxi for him and told him to hurry to the hospital morgue. There was no use being sad now.


    Shen Jiaming saw the security guy and his two colleagues get into the taxi. Just as the door was about to close, a beige coloured figure also got in the taxi. Because the speed was too fast, Shen Jiaming did not manage to clearly see it. All he felt was that the person''s legs seemed to be somewhat inconvenient.


    He curiously looked in the direction the taxi left in, because he didn''t see the security young man and his colleagues chasing them away. He guessed that the last person who got on the taxi was most likely someone they knew.


    Other than sympathy, there was nothing he could do about what happened to the little brother security.


    When she woke up, she rubbed her eyes blurrily and turned to look around. Only then did she come back to her senses and obediently followed Shen Jiaming out of the car and into the elevator.


    When the elevator reached their floor, Shen Jiaming heard the little boy''s jumping, jumping, laughing and making noise again. He couldn''t help but frown as he thought in displeasure, "Why is this child causing a ruckus day and night?"


    When the elevator door slowly opened, Shen Jiaming was prepared to grab the little boy to scare him, telling him not to be so mischievous in the future. The elevator opened, but the corridor was empty. There were no children, only silence.


    Shen Jiaming thought, this child ran really fast. He tried to grab onto this child several times, but failed to do so. He carried his stuff as he walked out of the elevator with Sheng Jiuzhou. Before he even reached his door, he was suddenly hugged by someone from the front.


    Before Shen Jiaming could say anything, the person hugging him started to cry, "Jia Ming, Jia Ming, where did you go? I... I''ve come to find you, but I can''t find you! "


    "Fei Fei?" Shen Jiaming carried items in his hands, among which were the clothes he bought for Sheng Jiuzhou, his daily necessities, as well as all kinds of food he bought from the supermarket. His hands were occupied to the brim, so he was unable to push Qin Feifei who was hugging him tightly.


    Qin Feifei cried until her eyes were red. She ignored him and continued to hug him like this. I beg you, I beg you, please don''t leave me, okay? You are the only person I love. I only drink after seeing you get drunk because of an accident ¡­ Jia Ming, I know you love me and I love you. Can you forgive me? I know I''m not clean anymore. Can you not hate me? I will take care of the child in my stomach. I will never let it come to this world! Jia Ming, I beg you, I love you. I know you also love me ¡­ "


    "Fei Fei, be more rational. No matter what you do, the two of us are already impossible."


    "Jia Ming, why is it impossible? We''ve been dating for years. We were in love, why not? Jia Ming, I just made this mistake, it was not intentional, I will definitely not make this mistake again, I beg you, please forgive me, I only want to be with you, I don''t want to be with others ¡­ "


    Qin Feifei really loved Shen Jiaming a lot. In order to get his forgiveness, she was willing to lower herself to a very low level. Shen Jiaming looked at Qin Feifei who was hugging her tightly. He couldn''t bear to push her away, so he only tried to reason with her.


    "Fei Fei, there are some things that we might have missed out on, but that would only mean that the two of us are not fated to be together. You Lilin... Although there are some problems, but he is sincere to you. I even saw him come out to buy takeaway for you today. Now that it''s like this and you''re married, you might try to accept him and it might turn out fine. Fei Fei, stop being willful. You know, we... "It''s no longer possible."


    "Shen Jiaming, why can''t we? Do you dislike me sleeping with You Lilin, being dirty, or having other people''s child in my womb? "


    Seeing that Qin Feifei was about to lose his mind, Shen Jiaming let out a long sigh. He said, "Fifi, don''t be angry with me, you know, I''m not the kind of man who would turn my back on that sort of thing. But, Fei Fei, think about it carefully, think about how you felt when you agreed to You Lilin''s proposal. Fei Fei, I know you very well. Even if you were to bear You Lilin''s child due to an accident, it''s not necessary for you to marry him. Since you have agreed to marry him, he must meet your criteria for choosing a husband on certain terms. "


    Actually, Shen Jiaming had also wanted to leave some face for the two, but he wasn''t willing to make things so clear. However, Qin Feifei seemed to have gotten away. Shen Jiaming knew that his brothers all had good family conditions, and could be considered to be local golden bachelors. The reason Qin Feifei could agree to marry You Lilin in such a situation was not because she was forced to, it was just that she couldn''t understand it at the moment.


    After Qin Feifei heard this, he actually could not refute a single word. He could only cry as he continuously said, "Jia Ming, please forgive me, forgive me for my moment of foolishness. I don''t want anything right now, I just want to be with you ¡­"


    "Fei Fei, go back first. This way You Lilin won''t worry about you." Shen Jiaming finally freed a hand and pushed Qin Feifei away from his embrace.


    When he raised his head, he was met with Sheng Jiuzhou''s questioning gaze.


    Then, not far behind Sheng Jiuzhou, Shen Jiaming saw the little boy.


    The little boy quietly stood where he was, raising his head and sizing him up.

 C27

    Shen Jiaming looked at the little boy, and in the blink of an eye, the little boy ran away again.


    He was still entangled by Qin Feifei and had no time to care about the little boy, so he could only let him run.


    No matter how much Qin Feifei cried or how much trouble she caused, Shen Jiaming still did not forgive her. In the end, he even took out his phone and called You Lilin, asking him to come pick her up.


    Qin Feifei took advantage of the time that You Lilin was out buying takeaway to run out without permission. After You Lilin bought the takeout food and returned home, he panicked when he realised that she was not home.


    She was in her first trimester and had a very serious pregnant and vomiting reaction. Her fetal appearance was not too good, and the doctor said she might be in danger of miscarriage. You Lilin regarded this child very highly and immediately helped Qin Feifei get a leave of absence, to let her rest at home. He also got a leave of absence as he meticulously took care of her, and no matter what she wanted, he would do his best to satisfy her.


    When he received the call from Shen Jiaming, he went crazy from not being able to find Qin Feifei, so he immediately came over.


    When he came over, he saw Qin Feifei sitting on the sofa in Shen Jiaming''s house, wiping his tears. Shen Jiaming did not care about her, he kept cleaning up the refrigerator in the kitchen, and even washed the cups and bowls at home, as though Qin Feifei did not exist on the sofa, as he was busy with his own things.


    You Lilin knew that Shen Jiaming had always been careful. What he did was for the sake of avoiding suspicion, and it was done for''s sake so that he wouldn''t misunderstand the relationship between him and Qin Feifei.


    You Lilin also discovered that other than Shen Jiaming, there was also a little girl in the kitchen. Wearing a beautiful little skirt and hugging a bear doll, she quietly sat there, her eyes constantly following Shen Jiaming''s busy movements. When he opened the refrigerator, she turned to look at it. He went to the tap


    That little girl, was precisely that little girl who went to eat with Shen Jiaming earlier.


    After You Lilin entered, he did not immediately go to Qin Feifei''s side. He knew, that now that he had passed, Qin Feifei would push him away. Ever since Shen Jiaming had returned, she had become extremely disgusted with him. At home, she would feel sick even if he wanted to touch her.


    He first walked to the kitchen and thanked Shen Jiaming. "Brother Shen, thank you.


    Shen Jiaming was actually quite dissatisfied with You Lilin, and was too lazy to look at him now. He raised his head, looked at You Lilin, and then looked at Fatty who was standing at the entrance. He did not understand why the two of them were together again.


    Fatty was wearing shoes as he stood motionlessly at the entrance, as if he did not intend to come in. Shen Jiaming did not make a sound, he only signaled You Lilin to bring the person away quickly, as he also wanted to be in peace.


    After You Lilin thanked her, his gaze fell on Sheng Jiuzhou. He was curiously sizing up this girl, trying to guess the relationship between her and Shen Jiaming.


    Sheng Jiuzhou was originally facing away from him, and as if she had sensed that someone was sizing her up, she suddenly turned around. Her cold gaze directly fell on his body, and he couldn''t help but shiver.


    Her eyes were large and round, clear and black. Her eyes were beautiful too, and there was a certain charm between her eyebrows. However, You Lilin had an indescribable fear, that fear was like a bottomless pit. He could not grab onto it, nor could he see it clearly.


    Even when Sheng Jiuzhou retracted his gaze, he still had not regained his senses. It was clearly summer now, yet he felt as if he was in winter in the great northeast, his entire body was about to freeze stiff. Even his bones were chilled, and he even had some difficulty breathing ¡­


    "You Lilin?"


    Hearing Shen Jiaming''s voice calling out to him, You Lilin seemed to have recovered from his shock, but the chill on his body had not subsided, and was still surrounding his body.


    He forced out a smile and looked towards Shen Jiaming: "Brother Shen, I will take Fei Fei away now. Thank you Brother Shen."


    Qin Feifei was naturally unwilling to leave, he cried and shouted Shen Jiaming''s name. Shen Jiaming stood in the kitchen, but did not move forward, nor did he even look in Qin Feifei''s direction.


    That was a matter of the couple, and had nothing to do with him.


    He looked at the Fatty in the profound entrance and nodded at him, still not saying a word.


    Fatty''s expression was very gloomy, his face was ashen, at the beginning, Shen Jiaming had not noticed it, but when he noticed it, he was surprised. The Fatty had always been the most famous amongst them, a peacemaker. He had a simple and honest temper, and whenever he had a conflict with someone, it would always be the Fatty who resolved it for him. He grew fat and smiled all day long. He was given the nickname Maitreya Buddha.


    He had grown up with Fatty and had never seen him show such an expression. Just as he was about to ask the Fatty what was wrong, You Lilin had already carried Qin Feifei and walked out the door. He only nodded towards Shen Jiaming, expressed his thanks, and opened the door to leave, but did not say anything.


    Shen Jiaming watched as the Fatty followed You Lilin. When Fatty left, his expression did not change at all. Shen Jiaming guessed that the Fatty was someone that You Lilin had invited to come and help coordinate their relationship with Qin Feifei. However, whether it was him or the Fatty, neither of them had any position to speak on this matter.


    He calmed himself down, turned and looked at Sheng Jiuzhou, then smiled: "This is great, all the troublesome people have left."


    "That woman, she will come back."


    Shen Jiaming was startled, he had only been lamenting for a moment, but did not expect Sheng Jiuzhou to actually speak.


    He smiled and said indifferently, "It''s fine, I''ll be back soon. I won''t bother with it."


    He placed all the things he bought for Sheng Jiuzhou in the main bedroom and then moved all his things to the secondary bedroom. Then he said to her, "I don''t know when your family will be able to find you. I''ve already emptied the closet over there, so you can put your stuff in there. "


    As Shen Jiaming spoke, his gaze landed on the main bedroom''s bed. The covers on the bed were not folded up, but spread out. On top of the blanket, was the Da Hong ancient costume that Sheng Jiuzhou had wore previously with gold embroidery.


    The garment was wide open, its sleeves stretched out at the sides like arms, looking eerily frightening.


    He did not know why, but when this clothes was originally worn on Sheng Jiuzhou''s body, he did not feel that it was so strange. When it was placed on the bed, it gave off a strange chill, causing him to involuntarily shiver.


    It was clearly summer and the weather was very hot outside. There was no air-conditioning in the room, so why did he suddenly feel cold?

 C28

    Sheng Jiuzhou seemed to be deaf to the clothes on the bed, and only stared at Shen Jiaming''s empty cabinet in a daze.


    Shen Jiaming looked at the clothes on her bed that were extremely annoying. He then walked towards the bed and reached out to pick it up.


    Sheng Jiuzhou, whose back had always been facing away from Shen Jiaming, suddenly shouted in a stern voice, "You are not allowed to touch it!"


    As she spoke, Shen Jiaming''s fingers just happened to touch the cloth of her clothes. In that instant, as if an electric current had struck his fingers, his fingers suddenly shook, and then his fingers felt cold. He looked at the tip of his fingers, and they were red, as if they had been frozen.


    Shen Jiaming frowned, he turned to look at Sheng Jiuzhou and anxiously asked: "Ah Jiu, what exactly is happening to your clothes? What was this material made of? "Why are you still holding hands?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou looked at Shen Jiaming without saying a word, then turned and walked to the door of the bedroom, pointed to the living room, and said with a calm tone: "Go out."


    Shen Jiaming was infuriated by her attitude, and could not help but roar, "Hey, Sheng Jiuzhou, this is my home, even if you''re an idiot, you should have a limit. You need to know how you''re going to be a guest.


    "I didn''t say anything!" Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly interrupted him, and his gaze landed behind Shen Jiaming. He repeated the same indifferent tone as before, "Get out!"


    Shen Jiaming was shocked by her decent appearance, and quickly turned to look behind him. Behind him, other than a bed, there was nothing else. On the bed was Sheng Jiuzhou''s clothes, the bright red fabric was embedded with golden threads, and the shape of the golden threads was unclear, but somehow, it was extremely scary.


    He looked behind him and saw nothing. Then, he patted his chest and adjusted his breathing. Then, he turned to look at Sheng Jiuzhou and discovered that she had actually closed the door casually.


    Shen Jiaming was a little surprised. Actually, he also knew that it wasn''t appropriate for him to be alone with a little girl in the same house, but he didn''t know why, but he actually did it like this. But now, Sheng Jiuzhou had actually locked him in her bedroom!


    Just as he was in a daze, Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly reached out her hand to pull the zipper at the waist of the dress, as if she was going to take it off immediately.


    When Shen Jiaming realized her intention, he was shocked and anxiously shouted out: "Ah Jiu, stop this right now!


    After that, without waiting for Sheng Jiuzhou''s response, he immediately opened the door and went out. The moment he went out, Sheng Jiuzhou''s dress fell to the ground, Shen Jiaming covered his eyes in fear, and with a "bang", he closed the door to his room.


    Sheng Jiuzhou, who was in the room, slowly turned his head and looked at the tightly closed door with a strange expression. Suddenly, his lips curled up slightly, and revealed a smile.


    She said, "This person is really strange. It''s just a set of leather bags, what''s there that can''t be seen?"


    After saying that, she turned around and looked at the strange red robe on the bed. Her eyes looked at the collar of the robe and looked at the bottom of it. Finally, she smiled with a sarcastic smile, "Elder sister, you want to use this thing to trap me? "Hmph, you''re too naive. I already came out ¡­"


    Shen Jiaming felt that he had lost a lot of face today, to think that he would accidentally see Sheng Jiuzhou taking off his clothes recklessly.


    Not long after, the master bedroom''s door opened once again. Sheng Jiuzhou changed into a set of furniture clothes and walked out. Her long black hair was loose behind her back, no different from when she had worn her cloak.


    When she came out, Shen Jiaming was a little embarrassed to look at her. He turned his head to her side slightly, but his cheeks were already flushed red. Although he has dated many girlfriends, although he has never stepped over the line, but I have still kissed him before. He also doesn''t know why he would blush like this when facing Sheng Jiuzhou.


    However, Sheng Jiuzhou remained calm. She was wearing a house uniform, with pants underneath and a half-sleeved vest, which Shen Jiaming had bought especially to match his age, and a cartoon style slipper, so she could wear it together with him.


    Shen Jiaming hurriedly glanced at Sheng Jiuzhou, and then turned his head, not daring to look at her. Coincidentally, the TV in the living room was still on, so Shen Jiaming didn''t have time to play the TV''s shopping ad on it, he quickly pretended to watch it with interest.


    "I''m hungry."


    Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly said with a calm tone, without a trace of politeness.


    Shen Jiaming, who was originally feeling uncomfortable, was stunned at first, but then he turned his head to look at the clock on the wall and asked Sheng Jiuzhou in response, "Ah Jiu, it''s only 3 in the afternoon, we just finished eating at 12 in the afternoon. "Did you not eat your fill?"


    Shen Jiaming frowned and thought for a long time before he shook his head. He ordered a lot of dishes at noon, a large portion of which were meat dishes, but he did not eat much. The rest were all eaten by Sheng Jiuzhou alone.


    She had eaten so much meat at noon, and now she was hungry again?


    Sheng Jiuzhou didn''t care what kind of expression Shen Jiaming had on his face at the moment, but seeing that he did not answer, he repeated his words again, "I''m hungry."


    Shen Jiaming had no choice but to raise his hand in compromise, "Alright, alright, alright, you''re my great-aunt. You''re the oldest, I''ll listen to you."


    With that, he turned around and walked into the king''s kitchen.


    Sheng Jiuzhou, however, did not look at Shen Jiaming. Instead, he slowly turned his head and looked outside the window.


    Shen Jiaming''s home was a high rise district, each building had a total of 33 floors, he lived on the 20th floor, which could be considered the middle part of the building.


    Shen Jiaming cooked noodles and sausage ham. When he came out of the kitchen to call Sheng Jiuzhou, he saw her standing in the middle of the living room, staring at the window.


    He called out to her, "Ah Jiu, the noodles are ready, come and eat."


    Sheng Jiuzhou turned his head, and his gaze swept past Shen Jiaming, falling behind him. His eyes were a little cold, and it was unknown what he was looking at.


    Seeing that the young miss was still in a daze, Shen Jiaming called her again, "Ah Jiu, what are you looking at? Time to eat! "Come here!"


    He turned and walked back to the kitchen.


    However, Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly moved, passing him with a few steps, and went into the kitchen before him. Shen Jiaming followed closely behind, entering into the kitchen, they saw Sheng Jiuzhou standing at the table, motionless.


    After a few minutes, she suddenly said, "I''m full."


    Then, without looking back, she left the kitchen and went straight back to the master bedroom.


    Shen Jiaming stood in his original position, the bowl of noodles on the table had just been prepared, but Sheng Jiuzhou did not move an inch.


    His face immediately darkened, he felt that he was once again fooled by Sheng Jiuzhou.


    Shen Jiaming glared furiously at the master bedroom, then resigned himself to his fate and shook his head.


    After eating a bowl of noodles, it was still effective. That was because he started to sweat profusely again. The coldness he felt earlier had disappeared without a trace.


    Shen Jiaming could not help but exclaim, "This summer, is really hot!"

 C29

    During dinner time, Sheng Jiuzhou was still the one who focused on cooking. Because he had already eaten a bowl of noodles in the afternoon, he wasn''t really hungry.


    After eating two bites, he was already full. As he sat at the dining table, he felt bored and casually glanced around the room. His kitchen was open, and from where he sat he could see the corner of the hall shoe closet. At first, he hadn''t been noticed. He only felt that something pink had been left there, a little too sudden.


    He was a germaphobe and hated the dirty rooms. Since he had finished eating, he decided to walk towards the hallway to see what was on the shoe rack.


    He walked closer to take a look. Only then did he realise that other than the decorations that he had put himself, the pink plaid shirt that Sheng Jiuzhou had just bought was also placed on the shoe shelf. It was sitting obediently, looking like an obedient little bear.


    Shen Jiaming smiled as he looked at the little bear, and said: "Aren''t you Ah Jiu''s beloved little bear toy? Why was it here? Have you lost your favor? "


    The moment he finished speaking, Shen Jiaming suddenly felt that a light that seemed to despise him had flashed through the little bear''s fake eyes.


    Shen Jiaming jumped in fright, and when he looked closer, he found that the little bear was still in its original form. It looked cute and cute, its eyes only had two plastic buttons, and it was sewn onto the body of a Bear Cub.


    Shen Jiaming rubbed his eyes and looked again, confirming that Xiao Xiong was still alright. His brows were tightly knitted. He was beginning to suspect if he had truly seen wrongly just now.


    While he was at a loss, he suddenly heard a voice from behind him, "It''s over."


    Shen Jiaming was immediately shocked, he turned around quickly, and was not willing to lose his temper at Sheng Jiuzhou, hence he said helplessly: "Ah Jiu, this brother has told you so many times. For you to suddenly appear behind this brother without any warning, is really too scary! "Let''s make some noise next time, is that alright?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou did not care about Shen Jiaming, his gaze landing on its body, staring straight at it, his gaze was stern, causing Shen Jiaming who was at the side to be dumbstruck.


    When he went to sleep at night, Shen Jiaming had Sheng Jiuzhou take a bath first, then he went to take a bath himself. When he came out, he saw that the master bedroom door was tightly shut. Sheng Jiuzhou should already be asleep. He turned his head and saw that the bear cub was still standing on top of the shoe cabinet in the hall, just like it was in the daytime. However, the shoe cabinet was dark in color and it was pink in color, and by the light of the living room lamp, it looked a little out of place.


    Shen Jiaming not only had a germaphobia, he also had obsessive-compulsive disorder. Seeing that the little bear didn''t match the shoe cabinet, he felt very uncomfortable and couldn''t help but walk towards the little bear. Holding onto little red''s neck, he turned around and walked into the living room, placing it on the glass tea table.


    After putting it away, he smiled and patted the Bear Cub''s head, saying: "Your master has shut you out of the bedroom. You don''t need to put it on the shoe cabinet, just put it on the tea table as an ornament."


    He even took out the remote control and stuffed it into the bear''s arms. The bear''s little hands were originally hugging its chest, but now it seemed to be hugging the remote control.


    After doing all that, Shen Jiaming could be considered satisfied as he nodded his head. He wiped his hair with a towel and went back to the second bedroom, laying on the bed to sleep.


    After falling asleep for a while, he suddenly heard a man''s voice shouting, "Save me! I don''t want to die! I don''t want to die!" "Someone save me ¡­"


    Shen Jiaming seemed to have seen a black shadow run past him, and then, without even bothering to control his feet, he followed right after.


    Shen Jiaming didn''t know why he had to follow this group of black figures, as if all of his actions were not under his control.


    He ran so fast that he couldn''t even see the road under his feet. As he ran, he thought, the road under his feet was soft. It didn''t look like a dirt road, nor did it look like an asphalt road.


    Soon, he didn''t have the heart to think about the road beneath his feet, because he discovered that one of his hands had already grabbed onto the black shadow.


    That ball of black shadow was like a ball of fog. It clearly didn''t have any physical form, but he could actually effortlessly grab onto it.


    He was about to investigate what it was when he heard a cry coming from within the black blob. It was the cry of a man, the same voice he had heard before.


    "Save me, I don''t want to die, I don''t want to die ¡­" "Someone save me ¡­"


    Shen Jiaming jumped in shock, instinctively wanting to throw the thing in his hands out. However, that lump of black gas was stuck to his hand, unable to be thrown away.


    The man''s crying continued, growing weaker and weaker.


    Seeing that the ball of black fog in his hand could not be thrown away, Shen Jiaming tried to follow the voice of the black fog to speak, "Who are you? Where are you? How can I save you? "


    After he finished speaking, the black fog''s voice instantly disappeared, and after a long time, it still did not start again.


    Shen Jiaming thought that this voice was gone the moment he heard it. It was still that man''s voice crying for help, "Save me, I don''t want to die. Please save me ¡­ ¡­"


    Shen Jiaming was just about to ask him, how do I save you?


    The lump of black fog in his hand suddenly changed its shape, and directly flew into his mouth.


    Ah!" Shen Jiaming did not care about anything else, and started to scream miserably. Anyone who saw their mouth devouring a ball of black fog would scream!


    His blood-curdling screams continued, but no matter how he shouted, his mouth was not stopping him from eating that lump of black fog. He could even feel that his mouth was chewing something with relish!


    Shen Jiaming was so scared that he squatted on the ground and held onto the sides of his face, hoping that he could spit out that ball of black fog.


    Until the end, when the entire ball of black fog entered his mouth, he didn''t think that he would be able to control his own mouth.


    Shen Jiaming knew that he had eaten an incredible thing!


    This was because the voice of the man from the black fog was resounding from his mouth at this moment. Although it was weak, the voice was extremely clear and reverberated in all directions.


    "I was wrong, please don''t eat me, I don''t want to be eaten. I was wrong, I shouldn''t have stayed here to do evil, I shouldn''t have harmed others, I ¡­ Ah ¡­ No, I don''t want to be eaten. Please let me go, I don''t want to be eaten ¡­ "Ahhh!"


    This voice came from Shen Jiaming''s body, and passed through his chest cavity and organs to his head. Listening to this voice was even more terrifying than when he was holding it in his hand.


    Shen Jiaming felt that he might have gone crazy. Otherwise, he would never have had such a terrifying illusion.


    It had to be real, it had to be real!


    The voice became softer and softer, and in the end, slowly disappeared. Shen Jiaming could even feel that the lump of black fog seemed to be about to die.


    At the end, he heard the faint voice shout, "What right do you have to punish me? "You''re also a demon ¡­"

 C30

    Shen Jiaming suddenly opened his eyes, his head full of cold sweat.


    He lay on the bed, gasping for breath. It took him a long time to react, but he realized that it was just a dream.


    However, that dream was too realistic, to the point where he was unable to differentiate whether he was in reality or a dream. His palm could even remember the feeling of holding that lump of black fog.


    Shen Jiaming rested for a long time before he recovered his wits and slowly sat up on the bed. He could not tolerate the sticky and sweaty sweat anymore, so he got out of bed and put on his shoes, preparing to take a shower.


    He changed his clothes, opened the door to the second bedroom, turned on the light, and headed for the bathroom. After walking two steps, Shen Jiaming felt that something was amiss. He retreated back, and his gaze landed on the living room.


    The windows in the living room were wide open, and he had never covered himself with curtains. Outside the window was a colorful array of neon lights, and the night scenery was very beautiful, which was also one of the main reasons he chose this house back in the day.


    However, the windows were dark, as if there was a black fog sticking to the glass outside. They couldn''t even see the bright neon lights in the past.


    Shen Jiaming''s hair stood on end, because the black fog on the French window looked too similar to the ball of black fog he had dreamt of. The only difference was that this ball of black fog was just blocking on top of the glass, it did not move nor make a sound.


    Shen Jiaming was a materialist and an atheist, but he did not believe in evil.


    He simply turned on all the lights on the wall with a few bangs. Suddenly, the living room was lit up.


    He bravely walked towards the big French windows. Because the lights were on in the house, the glass of the large French windows appeared to be pitch-black, like a glass mirror, reflecting his shadow. He quickly walked over to the French windows and looked through the glass. There were still colorful neon lights outside the windows. These lights were specially designed so that they could change their shapes and styles at any time. They looked really good.


    The lump of black fog that Shen Jiaming saw between the windows was not there. He rubbed his eyes to confirm that there was nothing wrong with the glass.


    Shen Jiaming felt that there was something wrong with his eyes lately, as if he could always see a lot of things wrongly. He thought that after he asked for Sheng Jiuzhou''s family members for them in a few days, if he really couldn''t find anything about them, he would not care about her anymore.


    The eyes were hallucinating, and seeing things was definitely not a good thing. He wasn''t even thirty yet, and he didn''t want his young eyes to be ruined.


    After being frightened like this, the sweat on Shen Jiaming''s body that was originally wet suddenly dried up, and wasn''t as sticky as before. However, Shen Jiaming''s obsession with cleanliness had already reached a point where it was absolutely impossible for him to not take a bath.


    He turned around from the window and walked towards the light switch on the wall. When he passed by the tea table, he took a quick glance and realized that it was empty. Shen Jiaming also did not pay much attention, he continued to switch off the light, and the moment his finger touched the switch on the light, he suddenly stopped.


    He slowly turned his head and his gaze fell onto the empty tea table.


    He clearly remembered that before he went to sleep, he placed the cub on the tea table and even placed the remote control onto the cub''s body. However, not to mention the little bear, even the TV remote control had disappeared without a trace.


    He had just begun to wonder if it was possible that the little bear had been accidentally scraped off by him when he walked towards the French windows. However, he was also puzzled. If he was the one who scraped it off, there should have been a sound when it fell, right? However, when Shen Jiaming recalled carefully, he did not hear any sound just now.


    Shen Jiaming looked around the house. He searched the tea table on the floor but didn''t find any Bear Cub s. He didn''t even give up, wondering if he remembered wrongly, whether it was the Bear Cub or the shoe rack in the profound entrance.


    He went to the shoe cabinet and also looked around. The shoe cabinet was also empty.


    He could not find the Bear Cub in the house, nor was he able to find his home''s TV remote control. In the end, his gaze landed on Sheng Jiuzhou''s door. He thought about it, and felt that the only possibility was that Sheng Jiuzhou came out while he was sleeping and brought the Bear Cub and remote control to his room.


    It was already the latter half of the night. Even if he wanted to confirm whether or not the Bear Cub was with Sheng Jiuzhou, it would be embarrassing for a man like Shen Jiaming to knock on a girl''s door.


    In the end, he helplessly shook his head and sighed, "What has happened these past few days?" Then, without thinking about anything else, he went straight for a hot bath and finished the battle quickly.


    When he came out of the bathroom, he heard the laughter of children in the corridor, exactly as he had heard them last night.


    Shen Jiaming was not well to begin with tonight. First, it was a nightmare, and then, the Bear Cub mysteriously disappeared, and now that he heard that this little kid was making a ruckus, he frowned. He was really angry, and angrily opened the anti-theft door and rushed out.


    Shen Jiaming was not used to it for a while so he squinted his eyes. When he opened them again, the corridor was completely empty, with nothing inside.


    Not only were there no children, there was not even the sound he had heard at home.


    Shen Jiaming could not take this lying down, he closed the anti-theft door, and directly walked towards the safety exit of the building. The number on the elevator was now ''1''. The child who was making a ruckus earlier definitely would not have left by the elevator, so the only safe passage would be this one.


    Just as he walked into the passage, he saw a small head peeking out from behind the half-open metal door. It was the little boy he had seen before.


    Seeing Shen Jiaming chasing over, the little boy panicked and immediately disappeared behind the door.


    The reason why Shen Jiaming wanted to capture him today was to ask this little boy, who exactly was he from? Why don''t you go to bed every night? Did his parents care?


    He quickened his pace and with a few strides, he reached the iron gate of the safe passage. He looked into the stairwell and saw that he was still a step too late. The little boy disappeared without a trace.


    Shen Jiaming ran up a few steps and saw that there was no sign of the little boy. Then, he turned around and ran down the stairs, but there was still no sign of the little boy.


    Shen Jiaming was still fuming, but this time, the little boy ran away again.


    He turned his head in disbelief, his gaze falling upon the stairs above.


    On the stairs above him, a bear cub, who had been wearing a pink plaid shirt, was holding the remote control and looking at him with a smile!

 C31

    Shen Jiaming''s entire person froze in place, cold sweat trickling down his forehead and hands and feet. He looked at the bear, not daring to move.


    He quickly recalled that before he went out to find the little boy, the security door must have been locked. Moreover, it was locked from the inside. Even with the password, the anti-theft door couldn''t be opened. Therefore, it was impossible for the little boy to come into his house and take this little bear.


    The bear held his hands in front of his chest, still holding the TV remote, looking dutiful. It was just a toy, it couldn''t move on its own.


    Then, how did this little bear manage to reach the stairs of the safe passage?


    The more Shen Jiaming thought about it, the more his scalp felt numb. He turned and ran towards the stairs, directly pushing open the iron gate and heading towards his own house. At that moment, he was extremely frantic. Even the hand that he used to press the password was shaking. He continuously pressed the password a few times, but he did not press the correct number. In the end, after finally opening the anti-theft door with great difficulty, he did not dare to look back, but just ran in, took off his shoes and ran back to his room, crawled into bed covered with a blanket, and hypnotized himself. "Shen Jiaming, nothing strange happened.


    It seemed to be the effect of hypnosis, or perhaps Shen Jiaming really had a dream. He saw that he was still standing in the hallway, and that the little boy was there. This time he didn''t bounce or sing or laugh, just talked with his back to his house and the little bear in the pink checked shirt.


    "I want to play here."


    It was a very young man''s voice. It seemed to come from a very far away place as he heartlessly refused the little boy''s request, "Your request is not allowed, this is my master''s territory. My duty is to be responsible for your protection, don''t even think of taking a step closer!"


    Shen Jiaming seemed to feel that the little boy still said something, but he could no longer hear anything standing behind the little boy. He could only see the little bear wearing a plaid shirt, and a smile suddenly appeared on its furry face.


    Its eyes made of plastic instantly narrowed into slits, and a few lips sewn with dark brown lines suddenly opened, revealing fangs ¡­


    This smile was extremely terrifying, making Shen Jiaming''s hair stand on end. He was facing that little bear, and was immediately frightened to the point of "Ah!"


    Shen Jiaming flapped his wings for a long time before realizing that he was lying on the bed with Xia Liang''s quilt in his hands. It was probably because he was screaming so harshly just now that Xia Liang had already wrinkled up and couldn''t even look at him anymore.


    He laid on the bed and rested for a long time. Suddenly, he let out a sigh of relief, "So it was just a dream."


    His body was still sticky, it was just sweat that flowed from his dreams, wetting his pajamas, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. He lay in bed thinking that he might have had two nightmares in succession, like a dream in which he thought he was awake but was still asleep.


    It was already getting late, so Shen Jiaming slowly got up. He prepared to take a bath, clean up, and go out to buy Sheng Jiuzhou breakfast. After that, he would take her to the police station to inquire about the situation at her home.


    He remembered that Sheng Jiuzhou had mentioned his sister before. If he said that his sister was already dead, then he could ask his comrade, the police, to start from this clue.


    While he was thinking, he went to find a change of clothes to bathe in. He searched around but still couldn''t find the change of clothes that he usually took a bath for. He frowned, thinking for a long time, wondering if he had forgotten to be on the balcony.


    He knocked on the bedroom door and went into the living room. He looked out at the balcony and saw that the clothes rack was empty. Shen Jiaming yawned and rubbed his messy hair. He felt that his head was numb, as if he had forgotten something.


    He walked towards the bathroom in a daze, pushed open the door and entered the bathroom. When he looked in the mirror, Shen Jiaming was completely awake. He found a large circle of clothes to change into and put them on him. He turned his head slowly and his eyes fell on the dirty laundry basket in the bathroom, where he kept the clothes he had been wearing before going to bed last night.


    Shen Jiaming suddenly remembered, last night, he took a shower and went to the corridor to catch that noisy and troublesome little boy.


    He also saw that the missing Bear Cub had somehow appeared on the stairs of the safe passage!


    When Shen Jiaming thought about this, he couldn''t help but feel extremely scared and took a step back. He looked up at himself in the mirror, his unkempt hair and handsome appearance making it impossible to tell what was wrong with him physically.


    However, Shen Jiaming stared at his reflection in the mirror and felt that he might really have a problem. It was not his ears, not his eyes, but his mind.


    When he thought that there might be something wrong with his body, and that Shen Jiaming, who always loved cleanliness, would no longer have the mood to bathe, he panickedly washed his face for a while before leaving the bathroom.


    He subconsciously looked towards the tea table in the living room. It was clean and transparent, with nothing on it. There was no TV remote control, nor were there any Bear Cub.


    Shen Jiaming stood in place in a daze, he was actually conflicted. He hoped that something had gone wrong with his mind that led to the hallucinations, but what he was thinking in his heart was that there was nothing wrong with his mind. The little bear he saw last night was exactly what had happened.


    Now, the Bear Cub had already disappeared. On the contrary, it proved that what he saw was real.


    Just as he was in a daze, the master bedroom door opened and Sheng Jiuzhou walked out. She was not wearing the same clothes she had worn yesterday. Instead, she had changed into another one. When she walked out, she didn''t even look up. She kept her head down, her eyes only focused on her housedress, as if she thought it was something new.


    Shen Jiaming turned his head to look at her, only then did she raise her head to look at Shen Jiaming, and revealed a smile to him.


    After Shen Jiaming saw Sheng Jiuzhou, his mind suddenly cleared up. It was as if the thought of him having a mental illness and violating the values of materialism had vanished into thin air. He wasn''t the only one in the family. He couldn''t be so suspicious as to say everything.


    Shen Jiaming didn''t think too much and directly asked Sheng Jiuzhou, "Ah Jiu, the little bear that I left in the living room last night, have you brought him to your room yet?"

 C32

    "Ah Jiu, the little bear that I left in the living room last night, have you brought him to your room yet?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou raised his head, looked at Shen Jiaming, and shook his head.


    Just as Shen Jiaming was about to say something, Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted him. She said, "Don''t worry about it."


    Shen Jiaming stared blankly at her, before asking Sheng Jiuzhou, "Ah Jiu, didn''t you like that child a lot yesterday? Why don''t you care now? "


    Sheng Jiuzhou tilted his head and did not say a word.


    Shen Jiaming said: "Ah Jiu, tell me the truth, did you take that doll last night? Or into the bedroom? Or did you bring them to our house? "


    "Shen Jiaming, you don''t believe me?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou did not answer Shen Jiaming''s question. She just used a strange tone to ask him, and the look in her eyes instantly turned cold.


    Shen Jiaming didn''t know which part of his words were wrong, causing Sheng Jiuzhou''s face to suddenly change. He shook his head and spoke in a good mood: "Ah Jiu, I don''t believe you, but this matter is very important to me. I hope you can answer me directly."


    Sheng Jiuzhou looked up, his eyes dark and cold. He did not speak for a long time, but in the end, he seemed to have confirmed that Shen Jiaming was not speaking, and slowly opened his mouth, "I have never touched it."


    Shen Jiaming replied with an "oh". It was unknown what he wanted to say, but he suddenly turned around, only to see that the little bear on the shoe rack in the entrance was holding onto the TV remote control obediently. The expression on its face was the same as before, there was nothing strange about it.


    This time Shen Jiaming really frowned. He felt that if he wasn''t crazy, then he was a ghost.


    After staring at the little bear for a long time, Shen Jiaming turned around to look at Sheng Jiuzhou again. She still kept her head down, as if she was very interested in the clothes she was wearing.


    Shen Jiaming remained silent, but he had an idea in his mind.


    There was nothing to eat in the morning at home. Yesterday, Sheng Jiuzhou went to the supermarket to buy a lot of vegetable and meat eggs. There was a small district on the side of their residential area. It was considered to be an old residential area. There was a bun house among them, so the breakfast was very delicious. Shen Jiaming was originally going to buy it for Sheng Jiuzhou to eat.


    In the end, after making such a ruckus in the morning, it looked like it was almost 9 o''clock. The bun house''s breakfast was long gone.


    Shen Jiaming sighed and asked Sheng Jiuzhou, "Ah Jiu, let''s wait for a while to eat before heading to the police station. What would you like to eat in the morning? "


    Sheng Jiuzhou decisively replied with two words, "Eat the meat!"


    Shen Jiaming felt that this girl really liked eating meat, eating meat everywhere she went. It seemed that without meat, he wouldn''t be able to live.


    When he brought Sheng Jiuzhou out, he called the cleaning lady from behind, "Auntie, there''s a Bear Cub wearing a pink plaid shirt on my shoe shelf. Hmm, it''s new, help me throw it away, you have to help me throw it away before I go back home, right, yes, yes, I don''t want it anymore. "Mhmm, she belongs to my little sister at home. She doesn''t like it anymore ¡­"


    Shen Jiaming hung up the call, then relaxed and left with Sheng Jiuzhou.


    The cleaning lady had already reached Shen Jiaming''s house, and the moment she entered, she saw the little bear on top of the shoe cabinet in the entrance.


    The bear''s face was made of furry cloth, and its eyes were sewn with plastic buttons. It looked extremely adorable. The cleaning lady was puzzled. Such a good doll was still brand-new. Why did she say that she didn''t want it anymore? Don''t you know how to spoil things?


    She promised Shen Jiaming that she would throw the child away, but when she thought about her own granddaughter, she couldn''t bear to throw it into the trash can.


    She had worked as a cleaning worker for many years and had also worked at Shen Jiaming''s home for more than three years.


    She was diligent in her work and was loved by her employers. For example, Shen Jiaming and the others who were generous with their work, other than giving her a salary increase, they would also give her some things that she didn''t need at home. They would let her bring them home. The cleaning lady was very honest. She had the things that the owner gave her. If it wasn''t for her, even if she saw the golden necklace and golden bracelet, she would still be disappointed and greedy.


    She felt extremely sorry that she did not follow Shen Jiaming''s instructions to throw away the Bear Cub this time. She thought about whether or not she should inform Shen Jiaming that this Bear Cub was very cute and directly throw it away. It was a pity that her little granddaughter would definitely like it.


    Since the cleaning lady had decided, after she cleaned up the entire room, she would call Shen Jiaming and tell him about the Bear Cub.


    With this idea in mind, the cleaning lady put in a lot of effort to clean up the kitchen and the living room. After cleaning the living room, she cleaned up the second bedroom and finally cleaned up the master bedroom.


    When she opened the cabinet in the master bedroom, the cleaning lady was somewhat shocked. She knew that Shen Jiaming lived in a house with a little sister, and Shen Jiaming seemed to have doted on her a lot, so he directly let her live in the main bedroom.


    However, the cleaning lady did not expect that Shen Jiaming, as the elder brother, would be so generous as to buy her sister so many clothes, filling the entire wardrobe up. Seeing those tags that had not been removed, these clothes should have been bought at once, so Shen Jiaming didn''t think that she would have the chance to wear it.


    After the cleaning lady saw this, she couldn''t help but to be envious of Shen Jiaming''s sister. Although she had never seen her before, it was really a blessing for a little girl to have such a big brother to pamper her.


    After the cleaning lady finished feeling envious, she started to clean up the room. In fact, other than cleaning up the clothes and cleaning them up, the master bedroom actually didn''t do much cleaning at all. The cleaning lady worked very quickly, and soon the master bedroom looked as if it was brand-new.


    She nodded in satisfaction and turned around to close the cabinet door. Suddenly, she saw a bright red robe inside the cabinet. It looked like something from an ancient TV series, and there were many golden threads embroidered on it.


    Although the cleaning lady was in the business of cleaning, she had seen a lot of things. She knew that the clothes that Shen Jiaming sold to his sister were all famous brands and none of them were cheap. However, when she saw that this piece of clothing looked like an ancient garment, Aunt Purity was dumbfounded.


    This was because the clothes gave her a feeling that was completely different from the other clothes. It hung from the top of the cabinet directly into the cabinet. It looked eerie and horrifying. The sleeves that hung apart on both sides of his clothes were slightly bulging, as if there was a tiny wrist hidden inside.


    The cleaning lady watched for a while and suddenly felt cold all over her body. She came back to her senses and kept chanting ''Amitabha''. Then she quickly closed the wardrobe door, turned around and ran out of the master bedroom.


    The cleaning lady usually believed in buddhas, and would rather believe in certain things than not. She felt that she had definitely encountered something bad in the master bedroom. Thus, while reciting "Amitabha" all the way, she carried her bag and ran in panic, completely forgetting that there was a Bear Cub inside.

 C33

    Shen Jiaming did not know that the cleaning lady was fleeing from home, he was only in charge of feeding Sheng Jiuzhou right now. Sheng Jiuzhou really liked to eat meat. After eating several sturdy meat buns, she actually told Shen Jiaming that she wasn''t full yet!


    Shen Jiaming looked at Sheng Jiuzhou''s small arms and legs, she really couldn''t understand how she could eat so much meat.


    After breakfast, Shen Jiaming followed his original plan and brought Sheng Jiuzhou to the Public Security Bureau, asking about the whereabouts of Sheng Jiuzhou''s family.


    The policemen in the Public Security Bureau were very responsible. They first told Shen Jiaming regretfully that they did not see anyone similar to Sheng Jiuzhou, who was looking for her, and then told him something else.


    "Mr. Shen, we''ve asked the local police for help with the Tomb Hole that you mentioned. Through the villagers beside the Tomb Hole, we''ve already found it. "But ¡­"


    Shen Jiaming frowned, and waited for the policeman to continue.


    However, even after searching through the entire Tomb Hole, we were still unable to find the corpse that you mentioned. There was only a coffin inside the Tomb Hole for a few hundred years. According to the local villagers, this coffin was not some coffin of a dead person, but was used to suppress the female fiend a few hundred years ago. "We''ve also been discovered and studied by experts before. It can only be considered as a special scenic spot, not much of a monument, and even its archaeological value is very limited.


    Shen Jiaming asked in disbelief, "Are you saying that there is no corpse there? It''s impossible, right at the place where the Tomb Hole have collapsed, there''s already a rotten stench coming from that body, and it''s impossible for someone to remove him! "


    "Mr. Shen, we have already followed the clues you provided. If we can''t find it, then the chances of us finding it in the future will be even slimmer, so Mr. Shen shouldn''t be worried about this matter. If we, the police, have any leads, we will definitely inform you as soon as possible."


    After all, he had left the Tomb Hole for a few days already. Perhaps his corpse was taken away by a wild beast nearby, this possibility still existed. He could only silently say to the brother in corpse in his heart, "Sorry, brother, I still couldn''t find you. Where did you go?"


    The matter with the corpse brother was temporarily put to rest, and what made Shen Jiaming even more worried was the matter with Sheng Jiuzhou''s family. He had told the police that Sheng Jiuzhou most likely had an elder sister who had died. As for exactly how old she was, Sheng Jiuzhou was not willing to say so, so he had no choice.


    After the two of them came out of the Public Security Bureau, Shen Jiaming spoke to Sheng Jiuzhou sincerely and earnestly, "Ah Jiu, if you have any conflicts with your family and do not want to go home, you can stay with me for as long as you want. I promise I won''t kick you out. But Ah Jiu, without your family''s permission, I do not dare to let you stay here for long. "


    Actually, Shen Jiaming was feeling conflicted in his heart. He subconsciously felt that it was illogical for Sheng Jiuzhou to live in his house even if the police had agreed to stay there. However, his instincts told him to accept Sheng Jiuzhou and take the initiative to take care of her.


    Shen Jiaming spoke sincerely and sincerely. After looking up at him for a long time, he finally opened his mouth, "I cannot go back, they will kill me."


    "Cough, cough ¡­" Shen Jiaming was shocked by Sheng Jiuzhou''s words. He choked himself with a mouthful of saliva and coughed continuously. He covered his throat and looked at Sheng Jiuzhou in shock. He asked her in disbelief, "Ah Jiu, what did you say just now?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou pursed her lips and did not speak any further.


    No matter how Shen Jiaming asked Sheng Jiuzhou after this, Sheng Jiuzhou did not say anything, and he could not get any answers out of it.


    In the end, Shen Jiaming had no choice but to accept his fate and ask no further, bringing Sheng Jiuzhou home.


    The house had already been cleaned up by the cleaning lady. The first time he entered, he took a glance at the shoe cabinet and saw that it was clean. There was no trace of the little bear.


    Only then did Shen Jiaming relax, and pulled Sheng Jiuzhou into the house.


    When Sheng Jiuzhou entered, he suddenly said absentmindedly, "It''s gone."


    Just as Shen Jiaming was changing his shoes, he suddenly heard Sheng Jiuzhou whisper something, but he couldn''t hear it clearly. He turned his head and asked her, "Ah Jiu, what did you say?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou pursed her lips and didn''t say anything else.


    After returning home and settling Sheng Jiuzhou down, Shen Jiaming dialed Fatty''s number, but no one answered for a long time. After hanging up, he dialed again. This time, just as the ringtone was about to break, someone finally answered.


    "Hello?" On the other end of the line, there was a woman''s voice. It sounded sad and listless.


    Shen Jiaming''s original phone had already been destroyed. He was using his newly bought phone, but his phone number was from the past. He would never forget the Fatty''s phone number, so it shouldn''t be wrong.


    He frowned, and was about to ask if it was the Fatty who called when the other side hung up mercilessly. Before hanging up, Shen Jiaming had heard the conversation between a man and a woman.


    The man''s voice was very soft, as if he was standing very far away. "Whose phone call is it?"


    "I don''t know. Recently, there has always been an unfamiliar number calling in here."


    "I told you not to keep the phone card, but you insisted on keeping it. This is great, you ¡­" "Ai ¡­"


    Then, the sound of a woman crying.


    In the end, when the call ended, Shen Jiaming could no longer hear anything.


    The Fatty''s phone number had been used for more than ten years, how could he make a mistake just like that? Furthermore, Shen Jiaming recalled the conversation between the male and female on the other end of the phone carefully. It sounded familiar, but he could not recall where he had heard it before.


    The call to Fatty did not connect, so Shen Jiaming did not try again. He asked a few more friends, and said that he wanted to find a better therapist.


    Someone exclaimed: "Brother Shen, why do you suddenly have to see a therapist?"


    Shen Jiaming spoke the truth without hiding anything, "Recently, my sleep hasn''t been good, and I''ve always had nightmares and hallucinations, so I can''t tell if they are from my dreams or from my dreams."


    The man thought for a while, then said to Shen Jiaming: "Brother Shen, I know a psychiatrist, and he is a friend of mine. Do you want to try it?"


    Shen Jiaming asked for an appointment with the other party, then hung up.


    He saw that there was a message on his WeChat. Just as he was about to open it, he felt that someone was breathing in front of him. When he raised his head, he was shocked, but then he could not help but shout out, "Sheng Jiuzhou, how many times have I told you?

 C34

    Shen Jiaming flew into a rage. Sheng Jiuzhou rubbed his nose a little innocently, as if he hadn''t realized that he had scared Shen Jiaming stiff just now.


    Seeing how harmless Sheng Jiuzhou was acting, Shen Jiaming could not help but be angry, and directly asked her, "Can you be alone tomorrow? I''m going to see a psychiatrist. "


    Sheng Jiuzhou blinked his large eyes, as if he didn''t understand what Shen Jiaming had said.


    Shen Jiaming had no choice but to explain to her, "I feel that there might be something wrong with my body, so I need to see a doctor, and have him treat my body so that I can be healthy again."


    He explained these two sentences and suddenly felt as if he were a child talking to Wei Tongtong. Hence, he smiled, reached out to rub Sheng Jiuzhou''s hair and said helplessly: "Ah Jiu, you''re already twenty years old, but why do you look like a child?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou didn''t care about Shen Jiaming''s words, he only said something that was extremely inconceivable, "If the leather bag is broken, then I''ll just make a new one."


    "What?" Ah Jiu, what did you say? " Shen Jiaming was a little angry, and immediately put on the appearance of an elder to teach her a lesson, "Ah Jiu, last time when you said this, I already wanted to teach you a lesson. Do you know what you just said? Do you think it''s like playing a game? You think you can revive after death? Let me tell you, the game is fake, you have to take good care of your own body ¡­ Hey, Sheng Jiuzhou, where are you going! "


    As Shen Jiaming was talking non-stop, he suddenly stood up and turned to leave. Before he left, he even made a gesture of poking his ears with his fingers, obviously annoyed with Shen Jiaming!


    Shen Jiaming was infuriated, but he couldn''t bear to get angry at Sheng Jiuzhou, so he could only swallow his anger. He lifted his leg and chased up to Sheng Jiuzhou, continuing to educate her, "Ah Jiu, you don''t listen to everyone''s words, it''s just disrespecting others. You ¡­"


    As he spoke, he happened to be standing in the doorway to the master bedroom. When he looked up, he saw the bed facing the door in the master bedroom.


    On the bed in the master bedroom, there was Sheng Jiuzhou''s bright red clothes. The golden threads on it shone brightly against the light outside the window, extremely dazzling.


    Shen Jiaming was forced to squint his eyes, he forgot all about it after he finished speaking. He pointed to the clothes on the bed and asked Sheng Jiuzhou, "Ah Jiu, why did you bring this clothes out again? Did I see you hanging in the closet yesterday? "


    He thought for a moment and suddenly realized something: "Ah Jiu, you want to wash this set of clothes. If you want to, I''ll tell the cleaning lady tomorrow and ask her to send this to your dry cleaner. Your clothes look like they are made of good materials, so they should be quite expensive to buy, right? If you like this item, you can wear it at home everyday, but don''t wear it outside like last time. "


    Shen Jiaming had been working for a few years already, and his thoughts and feelings had long been different from the young people he had now. These things look like antiques. Isn''t that the retrogression of time?


    However, he understood that these Han clothes symbolized Chinese traditional culture. If someone liked them, it would be understandable, but it was also understandable for such a young lady like Sheng Jiuzhou to like them. Although he could not understand her actions, he was willing to support her.


    Sheng Jiuzhou shook his head and said slowly, his tone was cold. She said, "No one can wash it clean."


    After saying that, he turned around and entered the master bedroom. He stretched out his hand and closed the bedroom door.


    Shen Jiaming was inexplicably locked outside the door, and for a moment, he was so angry that he couldn''t say a word.


    This Sheng Jiuzhou, really doesn''t follow common sense.


    Sheng Jiuzhou did not come out for the entire afternoon. She only opened the door after Shen Jiaming had finished cooking dinner and knocked on her door.


    Shen Jiaming didn''t know whether to laugh or cry, and in the end, he could only laugh out of anger. He asked Sheng Jiuzhou, "Ah Jiu, don''t you feel bored staying in your room and not coming out?"


    The main bedroom had always been used for sleeping, and there weren''t any entertainment methods inside. The computer, TV, tablet, mobile phone, box360, Wii, PS3 were all in the living room. A young girl like Sheng Jiuzhou was actually always shut herself in the main bedroom, and for the entire afternoon, Shen Jiaming couldn''t figure out what kind of entertainment she was using to pass the time.


    Sheng Jiuzhou held onto the chopsticks in his hand, raised his head and replied indifferently, "I''m not bored."


    Shen Jiaming, "..."


    Alright, he was indeed old and could no longer understand the young man''s thoughts. He had thought that the young people nowadays should be addicted to mobile phones, and there were "Lowering Clans" everywhere. He hadn''t thought that Sheng Jiuzhou, this young girl who was full of problems, would actually be able to endure loneliness.


    After Sheng Jiuzhou finished eating, he turned around and returned to his room. Shen Jiaming wanted to talk to her, but he didn''t even have the time to do so.


    At night, Sheng Jiuzhou took a bath once again. Then, he went into the bathroom. After washing up, he blew his hair and came out of the bathroom. He turned around and looked at the French windows.


    The weather was very good tonight, and the moon was bright and sparse. Shen Jiaming looked for a few minutes, but didn''t see the black figure he saw last night. He stopped thinking about it. Last night, he should have been dreaming.


    He walked to the second bedroom. He had only taken two steps when his feet suddenly stopped. He turned his head and looked at the French windows in disbelief.


    It was already very late. His living room''s French windows should have been filled with neon lights. He shouldn''t have been able to see the stars and the moon! Moreover, even if he could see, how could he see so clearly from the other side of the living room?


    After thinking it through, Shen Jiaming felt a chill run down his spine. It seemed, it seemed, that he was going to hallucinate again! No, he told himself, shaking his head. Whatever happens tomorrow, he''ll have to see a psychiatrist.


    He did not dare to look outside again. He turned his head, but his curiosity forced him to look outside again.


    Outside the window, the moon was still bright and sparse. The moon and stars were exceptionally clear. This kind of scenery was very beautiful, but it wasn''t something that a person living in the top floor of an elevator should be able to see.


    Shen Jiaming took a deep breath, mustered up his courage and walked towards the big window.


    The curtains of the French windows were drawn to the sides and swayed slightly. It was unknown whether it was the wind blowing in through the open window or the wind in the room.


    Shen Jiaming stood in front of the window and looked at the glass in front of him. The glass in the window was no longer dim like before.

 C35

    There was no shadow, no moon, no stars. There was nothing outside the window except for the neon lights ¡­


    Shen Jiaming stood by the window, holding onto a dry towel. He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes before opening them again.


    Shen Jiaming only felt his entire body break out in cold sweat, he did not know why he had seen such a scene just now. Maybe, he thought, there was something wrong with him, everything was urgent, and no matter what happened tomorrow, he would have to see a doctor.


    Returning to his bed in his bedroom, Shen Jiaming covered himself with a thick blanket, but he still felt very cold. He used the blanket to wrap himself tightly around himself and forced himself to close his eyes. He did not want to think about the strange things that had happened to him in the past two days and wanted him to immediately fall asleep.


    Sometimes, people wouldn''t think about anything, but once they were in bed, in a quiet environment, they would think about all sorts of things. Shen Jiaming was currently in a predicament. The more he forced himself not to think about it, the more he actually thought about it ¡­ He thought of that strange Bear Cub, thought of the indiscernible shadow in the French window or in his dreams last night, and that "moonlight and stars" he had seen tonight ¡­


    What was going on? Why did he often see such incredible things recently? As he thought about it, he didn''t know whether he was asleep or awake, but he heard the little boy in the corridor happily shouting, "Let''s go, let''s go! I''m so happy!" "There''s no need to be afraid anymore ¡­"


    Shen Jiaming was annoyed by the little boy''s quarreling. He wanted the little boy to shut up, and he even wanted to get up and go to the corridor to scold him. However, just as he was about to get up, he suddenly realized that he couldn''t move his body, which was lying on the bed. It was as if his hands and feet were tied up by something, and the more he struggled, the tighter he tightened his grip.


    The little boy in the corridor was still jumping and joking, and the sound of his laughter resounded throughout the entire building in the silent night. Shen Jiaming was so agitated that he felt extremely uncomfortable, and adding that his body seemed to be forcefully tied up by something, it was extremely difficult for him to even breathe.


    Shen Jiaming wanted to shout, wanted to ask for help, but he discovered that he could not make a single sound with his voice, so no matter how he opened his mouth, he was unable to do anything.


    Gradually, Shen Jiaming was tired and sleepy, he already did not have the strength to struggle, his eyelids were moving up and down, he gave up on his own thought, just sleep like that, once he falls asleep, he would have nothing more to think about.


    The little boy outside was as noisy and rowdy as ever. He was bouncing around, looking extremely happy. He even started to sing, "Little baby, go to sleep. Mommy is here, by your side ¡­"


    Shen Jiaming fell into a deep sleep.


    Ah!" After entering his dreams, Shen Jiaming felt as if something had grabbed onto his throat and he couldn''t even catch his breath. It was like a rope around his neck, and he felt his tongue being squeezed out of his mouth.


    He opened his eyes in a daze. He could not see the surroundings clearly, but he could vaguely see many people around him. They were all holding torches in their hands.


    He tried to struggle free and raised his hand to grab at the neck. The moment he raised his hand, he felt a few rays of golden light fly towards him and wrap around his body like ropes. Then the golden lights wrapped around his body with great force.


    In that instant, those golden threads strangled his strength, making it hard for him to endure. He couldn''t help but scream miserably. "Ah ¡­"


    But his throat couldn''t produce any sound at all. He could only silently stand there with his mouth open, listening to his own miserable screams!


    Following his miserable scream, the surrounding firelight suddenly neared. Shen Jiaming immediately felt as if his body was being burned by fire, heat, searing, strangle, pain, all spread out from his body, this kind of suffering was unbearable for ordinary people, and Shen Jiaming couldn''t care about anything else but to scream, the more he screamed, the more miserable he would be, the more painful he would be ¡­


    As he shouted, he suddenly felt as if the golden light on his body had grown legs. Not only was it tied to his body, it even cut through his skin, bit by bit cutting into his body. Those golden lights weren''t just beams of light. They looked more like metallic wires that were extremely tough and tenacious. It was as if they were slicing through flesh as they latched onto a person ¡­


    Shen Jiaming had always been a man who didn''t fear pain, but he really couldn''t endure the pain anymore. But now that he was trapped here, he didn''t even have the time to cry out loud every single day. Besides pain and screaming, he simply couldn''t do anything else, he couldn''t even think of a way to differentiate between reality and a dream ¡­


    Just when Shen Jiaming felt that his body had been cut into pieces by the metal threads, he suddenly heard someone calling him.


    "Shen Jiaming, Shen Jiaming..."


    The shouts gradually recovered Shen Jiaming''s interest. He struggled several times before finally being able to open his heavy eyelids. Then, he saw Sheng Jiuzhou, who was dressed in big red clothes, standing beside his bed.


    Shen Jiaming had finally awakened, and his head was covered in cold sweat. The thick blanket that was originally wrapped around his body also fell off the bed, proving how much he struggled in his dream just now.


    He slowly sat up from the window and immediately cried out, "Ah!" The excruciating pain in his dream still remained on his body. Every time he moved now, the pain caused by the metal threads could be felt. It was as if the wounds were not in his dreams, but really in his body.


    Shen Jiaming reached out to rub his wound, then lifted the sleeve of his pajamas to check if there really was a wound on his arm. His tanned arms were clean and smooth, without a single wound. However, when his fingers touched those areas of pain, with a slight movement, he felt as if his body had been cut into pieces, as if something had cut his flesh into pieces.


    While Shen Jiaming was crying out for pain, Sheng Jiuzhou was standing beside his bed, expressionlessly looking at him, with no emotions in his eyes.


    Shen Jiaming was miserable for a long time, but in the end, he clenched his teeth and asked Sheng Jiuzhou while enduring the pain, "Ah Jiu, brother is fine, did I have a nightmare? Did it scare you? "


    The way Sheng Jiuzhou looked at Shen Jiaming suddenly changed from the usual emotionless to a look of shock.

 C36

    Shen Jiaming''s entire body was in excruciating pain, so he didn''t notice Ah Jiu''s expression and continued, "Ah Jiu, why are you wearing such a set of clothes in the middle of the night? "Even if you like it and go to bed at night, we can''t wear it anymore, can we?"


    He gritted his teeth and spoke sincerely with Sheng Jiuzhou. When he raised his head, he saw Sheng Jiuzhou staring at him with eyes full of surprise.


    He paused for a moment, feeling that what he said just now was a bit too much. After all, he had caused a disturbance in his nightmares at night, that was why Sheng Jiuzhou came to wake her up. He pursed his lips, endured the pain, and said patiently: "Ah Jiu, brother is fine now, you go back and sleep first."


    He endured the pain in his arm and took a look at the clock. It was only 2 in the morning. It was the darkest hour of the night. He dreamt so much that his whole body was in pain and it hurt even more when he moved her. He couldn''t get out of the bed and chase Sheng Jiuzhou back to sleep so he tried his best to tell her twice. Sheng Jiuzhou didn''t even open his mouth to answer her.


    Shen Jiaming had no other choice. Just as he was about to speak again, Sheng Jiuzhou finally moved. She quickly turned around and walked out of Shen Jiaming''s room without looking back. Luckily, she did not forget to help him close the door before she went out.


    Her movements were extremely fast, and in the end, what remained in Shen Jiaming''s eyes was only a touch of red, the bright red robe with golden threads embroidered on it.


    Shen Jiaming shook his head. He truly did not understand, why would Sheng Jiuzhou love that clothes so much?


    He shook his head and pulled at his flesh. He was in so much pain that he grimaced and couldn''t say anything. Resisting the pain, he stretched out his hand to feel the painful lines on his body. He traced the lines with his finger, and after he finished drawing, his hand froze.


    He only drew a very small area, but that pattern had left a deep impression on him! The pattern on his body was exactly the same as Sheng Jiuzhou''s clothes, and also exactly the same as the Tomb Hole that he had stayed in before.


    Shen Jiaming''s body stiffened. After sitting for half a day, he still did not know what exactly was in his mind, nor did he really know what he should think about.


    Originally, he thought that because he had experienced a car accident, he had experienced an illusion. But the pain he felt on his body was still there, but it just so happened that it was exactly the same as the pattern on Sheng Jiuzhou''s clothes. Was there such a coincidence in the world? Or was it just an illusion?


    He didn''t know how long he thought about it, but when Shen Jiaming woke up again, the sky outside the window was already bright. He had actually fallen asleep just as he thought about it.


    Shen Jiaming sat up on the bed and saw that his blanket was still on the floor. He flipped over, put on his shoes and got off the bed.


    After he folded the quilt, he was stunned once again.


    He first shook his arm in disbelief, agile and unharmed. There was no pain in his body at all.


    Shen Jiaming was in disbelief as he reached out his hand to pinch the place where his wound used to be. The wounds from last night that caused him so much pain that he couldn''t even beg for death, had actually disappeared without a trace.


    Shen Jiaming was stupefied on the spot. He was a little unable to differentiate what happened last night. Was it a dream or had it really happened? Last night, had Sheng Jiuzhou really come to his room?


    He opened the door and came out of the room. Sheng Jiuzhou had put on a dress and her hair was still in the dust as she sat obediently on the sofa with her eyes fixed on the television.


    The television did not turn on, the crystal screen in the dark night reflected Sheng Jiuzhou''s reflection. Sheng Jiuzhou sat opposite to the television, staring at his screen very carefully, as if he was looking at something interesting, causing him to be unable to stop himself.


    When Shen Jiaming walked over, he suddenly turned his head to look at him, and revealed a sweet smile.


    Ever since they met Sheng Jiuzhou, most of the time, her expression was the same. Basically, she didn''t have any expression, especially when it came to things like smiling with him.


    Walking to Sheng Jiuzhou''s side, just as he was about to speak, Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Shen Jiaming, you''re late."


    Shen Jiaming, "..."


    He hadn''t thought that the young ancestor, who had always been aloof from worldly affairs, would actually say that he had woken up late. Just as he was about to explain, Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly stood up, grabbed a piece of cloth from the sofa and held it in front of Shen Jiaming.


    Shen Jiaming had originally been completely focused on Sheng Jiuzhou, so she did not even notice that on the sofa she was sitting on earlier, there was actually that crimson long robe with golden threads embroidered on it. She suddenly raised her clothes in front of him, causing Shen Jiaming to be stunned. He had no idea what this young girl who was a retard wanted to do.


    Seeing that Shen Jiaming had yet to speak a single word, Sheng Jiuzhou lifted his red clothes and moved closer to Shen Jiaming.


    Shen Jiaming had to ask her: "Ah Jiu, what are you doing?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou blinked his eyes that were like black grapes, and said word by word, "Burn, die!"


    Shen Jiaming was startled, and immediately asked her, "You want to burn these clothes? "You are willing?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou nodded his head heavily, and said with determination: "I can bear to!"


    Although Shen Jiaming had never liked Sheng Jiuzhou''s clothes, to burn them so suddenly and simply, Shen Jiaming still found it hard to accept.


    This time, Sheng Jiuzhou''s attitude was exceptionally resolute, "Burn it! I want to burn her! "


    "Ah Jiu..." Shen Jiaming hesitated, but in the end he did not say anything, he turned around and went to the side of the table to take out a lighter, and said to Sheng Jiuzhou: "Come, Ah Jiu, let''s go burn it, no matter how happy you are!"


    On the elevator, Shen Jiaming purposely said to Sheng Jiuzhou, "Ah Jiu, who bought this for you? If the person who bought your clothes found out that you burned it just like that, would he not be happy? "


    Sheng Jiuzhou pursed her lips and stayed silent throughout.


    In truth, Shen Jiaming did not know where he should burn this thing. It was definitely not suitable in the small district, he could only think of the trash disposal station, after all, if this place was burnt down, the properties would not say anything, and the owners of the small district would not cause trouble.


    The district''s garbage station was located in a corner of their district. Normally, it was the place where the residents of the district would abandon their daily life. Shen Jiaming did not do housework at home. Under normal circumstances, the people who came to throw away trash would be his cleaning aunt, so he was a little unfamiliar with this trash station.


    In an empty space beside the garbage station, he helped Sheng Jiuzhou light up the clothes.


    Looking at the burning flames, Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly spoke: "This is a gift from big sister."

 C37

    When Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly opened her mouth, she was stunned for a moment before realizing that the elder sister she was talking about should be the one who had already passed away.


    Sheng Jiuzhou squatted in front of the bonfire, looking at the long red robe, which was slowly being burnt into ashes, his eyes filled with coldness.


    Shen Jiaming felt that if she kept staring at the fire like that, it would be bad for her eyes, and that the ashes would also be sucked into her nose. Hence, he reached out and pulled Sheng Jiuzhou up from the ground, exhorting her, "Ah Jiu, stay away from that place."


    "Shen Jiaming, would you wish for me to die?" Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly said absentmindedly. Before Shen Jiaming could react for a moment, Sheng Jiuzhou continued: "I thought she accepted me as her little sister after she gave me the clothes. However, I found out later on that she wished for me to die."


    Shen Jiaming was startled, and his eyes unconsciously opened wide. Sheng Jiuzhou''s sister actually wanted Sheng Jiuzhou to die? No wonder Sheng Jiuzhou was so rebellious.


    "Shen Jiaming, since you want to take care of me, then never think of killing me. I will make you suffer the same fate as her! "


    "Ah Jiu! What are you talking about? What''s the result? " Shen Jiaming was in disbelief, he completely did not understand what Sheng Jiuzhou was saying.


    Sheng Jiuzhou did not care about Shen Jiaming, and did not wait for the fire to die either, he turned and left the trash.


    Shen Jiaming was startled, then raised his leg and followed after.


    When he ran away, he did not look back at the half burned red dress.


    His bright red clothes were blackened by the fire. Following which, his red clothes turned darker and darker, and the patterns embroidered on the golden threads became clearer and clearer. Under the shine of the fire, a golden light could be seen ¡­


    "Ah?" Whose house did this thing come from? Why is there a golden thread inside the fire? Even with such a temperature, the golden threads must be made of gold! " Some of them were grinning from ear to ear. They kicked off the fire, then looked around in a stealthy manner. They didn''t care if the fire was hot or not, just picked up the fire and ran away, afraid that others would notice.


    Shen Jiaming brought Sheng Jiuzhou back, and then bought her breakfast. After that, he looked at the watch on his wrist, and said to Sheng Jiuzhou: "Ah Jiu, can you be alone at home today? I have to see a doctor later, so it would be inconvenient for me to take you there. "


    He thought, after all he was going to see a therapist and he had to go to the hospital alone. Even if Sheng Jiuzhou went with him, he would only be sitting in the corridor, waiting for him. That place was definitely not as comfortable as his home. He couldn''t bear to keep her waiting.


    Sheng Jiuzhou nodded, he did not have any objections.


    Shen Jiaming called the cleaning lady and said that his sister would be home for lunch. He asked the cleaning lady to help him cook lunch.


    In the past, the cleaning lady had often helped him cook lunch or dinner. Her cooking skills were not bad and Shen Jiaming liked it, so he would often ask her for it.


    After the cleaning lady answered the phone, she felt a little awkward. When she thought about the strange outfit she had worn yesterday, she felt that she did not want to go to Shen Jiaming''s house. However, thinking that Shen Jiaming was, after all, a regular customer who had acted generously, she gritted her teeth and comforted herself that she thought too much into it yesterday.


    When she reached her house, her granddaughter, who was carrying the Bear Cub, rushed over and sweetly called out, "Grandmother, Grandmother ¡­"


    "Be a good painter. Grandmother is going to work. Stay at home with mom and dad."


    His granddaughter looked a little wronged and said pitifully, "But Mom and Dad only love their phones and they don''t love me. They only love to play with their phones and not me ¡­ Grandma, you stay here and play with me, okay? "


    Her son, daughter-in-law, marriage, and bearing children had all been done by her in the recent years, so the couple only cared about playing on their mobile phones, playing until one or two in the morning every day. If they didn''t go to work the next day, they would sleep until the sky went dark, and they wouldn''t care about their children at all.


    After all, her son and daughter-in-law worked as temporary workers, so their income was not stable. If she didn''t save up some money for her little granddaughter, she would have more places for her children to spend in the future.


    She rubbed her granddaughter''s head helplessly, unable to bring herself to speak. In the end, she decided to say: "Be a good painter, grandmother will be back soon. The fastest job is to make a meal. You are at home, playing with the Bear Cub. When I come back, I want to see both of you obedient, okay? "


    Painting was a very obedient child. Although he didn''t want his grandmother to leave to work, he still nodded in agreement. Before his grandmother left, she was in tears.


    The cleaning lady was thinking that she would be back soon. She didn''t know if her irresponsible son and daughter-in-law would be able to remember to make lunch for Little Painting.


    The cleaning lady had been thinking all along, when she reached Shen Jiaming''s house, she opened the door and saw Shen Jiaming''s little sister.


    She looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, a little older. After all, all the girls these days seemed to be very young. After she entered, she asked, "What would Miss Shen like to eat for lunch?"


    "Meat!"


    Auntie Cleanser: "..."


    Before Shen Jiaming left, he had told Sheng Jiuzhou that an aunt had come over to cook for her, so Sheng Jiuzhou did not feel repulsed. She just sat on the sofa and talked, not even sparing a glance at the cleaning lady.


    After all, when she cooked for Shen Jiaming, she paid attention to the blending of meat and vegetables, nutrition and so on. She did not expect Shen Jiaming''s younger sister, to actually ask for "meat" when she opened her mouth! She answered with a smile, "Eating meat is good, eating meat is good, eating meat is good. Let me see what''s in the fridge. There are also cucumbers and tomatoes in the fridge. How about fried meat with cucumber and eggs with tomato? "It''s all a common household dish, I wonder if you like it ¡­"


    "You took it with you."


    The cleaning lady was in the middle of rummaging through the refrigerator to take the ingredients out to see what was inside when Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly blurted out those words. She was a little confused and turned to ask, "Miss Shen, what did you say?


    Sheng Jiuzhou was already standing in front of the kitchen door, stretching his neck and looking into the fridge. His eyes swept across the yellow flowers, tomatoes and other vegetables and finally landed on a piece of fresh meat. His eyes immediately lit up, ignoring what the cleaning lady had said.


    The cleaning lady did not understand what Sheng Jiuzhou said, and seeing that she did not continue, she shook her head and continued to search the fridge, making Sheng Jiuzhou a balanced lunch.


    Sheng Jiuzhou looked at the prepared food and suddenly smiled. His eyebrows curved into a smile as he spoke in a baffled manner, "It likes her."

 C38

    "Little bear, Little bear, what''s your name? "My name is'' Painting ''. If you want to paint, then that''s what Grandma had named me. She said she wanted my life to be as beautiful as a colorful painting. That''s what she wanted from me."


    The little girl hugged the little bear, her white and tender hands touching the pink plaid shirt on the little bear''s body, smiling sweetly, "Little bear, what''s your name? Do you have a family? Painting parents are also at home, but they are playing on the phone, won''t pay attention to painting, Grandma went out again, only you and painting at home. Why don''t you paint and be a family member? We''ll stay at home together and wait for Grandmother''s return, okay? "


    The little bear was in the little girl''s arms, so he couldn''t say anything, so he naturally couldn''t answer her. The little girl smiled sweetly, she grabbed the little bear''s hand and said happily: "Little bear, since you didn''t refuse to paint, you just agreed to Lake Flower''s request, right? From now on, you are Painting''s family, you definitely can''t go back on your word!"


    "Hahaha ¡­" The little girl hugged the little bear and laughed very happily. She held the little bear''s little hand and was unwilling to let it go, "Little bear, little bear, do you know? "The first time I saw you in Grandma''s backpack last night, I fell for you when I was painting. I''m so happy that you could stay by her side and paint."


    The little girl hugged the little bear, who couldn''t speak at all, and sprinted all the way to the window sill. She said to the little bear, "Little bear, drawing will show you your favorite scenery. Look from here, we can see the mountains in the distance, right? Painting really wants to take a look at that mountain over there, but Mom and Dad don''t have the time to take me to paint, and Grandma doesn''t have the time either.


    Oh, that''s right, "the little girl leaned against the windowsill, frowned, stroked the little bear''s head, and said:" I haven''t even drawn a name for you, I can''t draw a name for you, I have to draw a name that''s as nice as drawing a name for you, my name is Painting, what''s your name? Scriber and Painting, we are a family, okay? "


    She hugged Scriber and climbed up to the window with great effort. As she climbed, she did not forget to tell Scriber, "Scriber, Scriber will show you a better scenery. Don''t be afraid, we need to climb to a higher place to be able to see more clearly ¡­"


    She struggled to sit on the windowsill, but her hands were unsteady and the Bear Cub fell from her hands in an instant, falling straight out the window.


    "Write it down!" Painting didn''t even think as he rushed out of the window, reaching out to grab it.


    Her house was on the eighth floor of an old-fashioned building, and there was no fence outside of her house''s window. The little girl stretched out her hand, tilted her body, and fell down ¡­


    Oh, writing, I''m sorry, the painting fell off too. Oh, Grandma, I''m sorry, I shouldn''t have ignored you to paint, but climbed up the windowsill, causing Scriber and I to fall down together. I''m sorry, I''m sorry, it''s all because of my bad painting, and I''ve made a mistake in painting...


    After the cleaning lady finished cooking dinner for Sheng Jiuzhou, she started to clean up the room. Even though Shen Jiaming''s home was very big, she came everyday to clean it up, so she didn''t spend too much time every day. After she cleaned up the rooms, Sheng Jiuzhou just so happened to have finished eating too.


    When the cleaning lady went to wash the dishes, she was immediately amused and began nagging benevolently, "Why does the girl only eat meat? She doesn''t eat any of the dishes. This isn''t good. It''s better for girls to eat more vegetables. "My little granddaughter is three years old this year, and she eats both vegetables and meat. She never eats her body, so I hope she can grow up healthy and healthy ¡­"


    "Ling Ling Ling", an old-fashioned cell phone rang, interrupting Aunt Jie Jie, she smiled apologetically at Sheng Jiuzhou and said: "Aiya, it''s my phone that rang. I''ll take a call first, and then I''ll pack up when I get back."


    Sheng Jiuzhou had always been silent, so naturally he didn''t say anything.


    The cleaning lady answered the phone. On the other end was an old lady. She hurriedly shouted, "His sister-in-law! Hurry up and come back. Your granddaughter fell from your window ¡­"


    With a "pa" sound, the cleaning lady threw away her phone. Without caring if she was crying or not, she hurriedly ran away. She even forgot to take her bag. "Impossible, impossible, painting, painting ¡­"


    The cleaning lady had no idea how she got home. The kind-hearted taxi driver saw that she was really worried, so he didn''t take her money. By the time she reached the bottom of her house, all 110 and 120 were already there, and a cordon had been raised in front of her.


    "Painting, my drawing ¡­" The cleaning lady rushed over and started shouting without a care.


    There was a couple of men and women arguing at the side. The man said, "What kind of a prodigal woman are you? You don''t even look at your children at home. What''s the use of me marrying you?"


    The woman cried and cursed back, "Is the child mine alone? The children are ours? You''re home, too. Why don''t you look? You play video games with female netizens everyday, how can you have the time to care about our children! "Ahhh!"


    "So what if I''m playing online games? What about you? Just because you WeChat all kinds of chat every day, are you okay?! "You are a child''s mother. If you do your duty and become a mother, would our child even need to fall from the top of the stairs?"


    Some of the neighbors could not bear to watch any longer, and stopped the two from arguing, cursing: "When the crow landed on the pig, no one could see who was black. Neither of you is a good person, and neither of you has done your duty as a parent! Your children are still being rescued. You two didn''t even go over to take a look, yet you still have the mood to quarrel here. It''s really chilling! "


    "Painting, drawing ¡­" The cleaning lady did not care about her son and daughter-in-law who were still arguing over there. Instead, she gathered around Painting and held her hand.


    Painting was lying on the ground, his body was covered in blood, and there was a Bear Cub lying on top of him. The Bear Cub''s body was covered in drawing blood. It was wet, and the pink checked shirt on its body was no longer a color to be seen ¡­


    "Auntie, don''t cry. Your granddaughter was very lucky. When she fell down, she was stopped by the guard rail and a doll was placed beneath her. She still has signs of life ¡­"


    "Really, really, you said my family''s painting is fine?" the cleaning lady asked anxiously while wiping her tears.


    "We have to go to the hospital to be sure. Auntie, let''s take our child to the ambulance first!"

 C39

    The cleaning lady quickly left. Sheng Jiuzhou looked at the fallen phone and her backpack, then silently shook his head. He then looked at the messy kitchen and entered the master bedroom without looking back.


    Behind her, a dark shadow formed on the floor.


    In the middle of the day, there were no lights in the room. The sunlight from outside the window illuminated the room, but nothing else could be seen.


    When Sheng Jiuzhou walked to the door of the master bedroom, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. It was unknown who he was facing, but he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Don''t follow me anymore. You already have a new master. "


    In the midst of the nothingness, something seemed to be responding to Sheng Jiuzhou.


    After a long while, Heng finally opened his mouth and said, "I have never been your master, you can leave now."


    In that huge room, there was a long period of silence before the black shadow under Sheng Jiuzhou''s feet disappeared without a trace.


    "Painting, painting. Grandma is here. Wake up quickly, Grandma is back. Didn''t you want Grandma to play with you?" "Grandma won''t be able to work anymore and will never leave you. I beg you, please paint. Open your eyes and take a look at Grandma ¡­"


    "Mom, drawing her ¡­"


    "Don''t talk to me, I don''t have a son like you!" His son, who was following behind the cleaning lady, wanted to go up and persuade her, but he was scared by her angry roar.


    "Mom ¡­" Her daughter-in-law timidly opened her mouth and just as she wanted to say something, she was interrupted by the cleaning lady, "Divorce my son. I don''t want a daughter-in-law like you!"


    The couple looked at each other, their heads bowed in silence.


    The cleaning lady couldn''t be bothered with them and turned around to look at her sleeping granddaughter. She felt her heart clench. She was only three years old, and she was also four years old. Her good life had yet to begin and yet, Manager Yao was in such a miserable state. This child was truly too pitiful.


    When Little Painted woke up, it was already midnight. Her parents were sitting in the chair beside her and sleeping soundly. Only her grandmother was watching over her.


    She whispered, "Grandmother ¡­"


    "Painting, you woke up?!" The cleaning lady was still wiping away her tears, but she immediately regained consciousness and held onto her hand, "Painting, my painting, you''re finally awake. I''ll go call the doctor, I''ll go call the doctor ¡­" "Both of you, don''t sleep anymore. Call the doctor for me!"


    The cleaning lady turned around and saw her son and his daughter-in-law sleeping soundly. She really wanted to have never had such a vile son, otherwise she wouldn''t have had such a vexed daughter-in-law. Her granddaughter wouldn''t have met with such a terrifying situation!


    After the doctor saw the painting, he rejoiced and said, "Other than some superficial wounds, this child is fine. Don''t worry, your parents can just let her stay in the hospital for a few more days to observe. This child is truly blessed to have a great life. If he doesn''t die from great misfortune, he will definitely be blessed! "


    Painted lay on the bed, his hand still in the IV. She reached out her hand to grab the corner of Auntie Cleansing''s clothes, and said in a daze, "Grandma, if you want to paint, you have to write. Writing saved painting ¡­"


    "Write a novel?" "What kind of writing?"


    "It''s writing, my good friend, my family ¡­"


    The cleaning lady had to ask for a long time before she found out that the description on the painting was exactly the same as the pink checked shirted Bear Cub that she brought back from Shen Jiaming''s home.


    She remembered that the Bear Cub was already stained with blood, but looking at the longing in her granddaughter''s eyes, she couldn''t bear it any longer and placed the Bear Cub that was stained with blood next to her little granddaughter''s bed.


    She held onto the blood stained Bear Cub''s hand and whispered: "Scriber, I know you saved my drawing. The moment the painting fell, you stopped it below. Scriber, you spoke to me back then... "


    The cleaning lady was pouring water for her granddaughter when she heard her granddaughter say something inexplicable. A layer of cold sweat immediately appeared on her head.


    She put down the thermos, ran over to Painting and anxiously said, "Painting, what nonsense are you talking about? It''s a Bear Cub, why would it talk? "Grandmother knows you''re scared today, but you can''t say something like that in the future."


    Painting blinked, his pure eyes full of determination, "No, I am saved by Scriber, he can talk!"


    The cleaning lady cried anxiously, "Painting, what happened to you? How can you speak nonsense? "


    Painting shook his head, "Grandma, you have to believe that Painting isn''t lying."


    She was only three years old. Although she could already accurately express what she wanted to say, her words were still soft and soft. She wasn''t very clear on what she wanted to say, so she wasn''t very convincing.


    Of course, even if the drawing was done clearly, as an adult, how could Aunt Purity believe in painting? How could she believe that a Bear Cub could speak?


    When Painting saw that his grandmother wouldn''t believe his words, he pursed his lips and didn''t say anything else.


    Her writing can speak, Grandma doesn''t know to forget, she alone knows to write can speak.


    She blinked her eyes and smiled towards the Bear Cub in her arms, her face full of happiness and sweetness, "Scriber, you told Painting that Painting gave you a name, and in the future, you will be staying by your side to draw. Painting is very happy, very happy, nothing can make you happier than this. From then on, painting will never be alone. "


    The Bear Cub in her arms quietly lied down beside her. It did not answer her like she had thought it would.


    Painting was a little disappointed. He closed his eyes and patted the Bear Cub with his small hands. Because he was tired and tired, he quickly fell asleep again.


    When the cleaning lady saw that her little granddaughter had finally fallen asleep, she felt relieved.


    She had been frightened by her granddaughter''s nonsense just now. She originally believed in buddhas, and she would rather believe in demons and ghosts than not. Thus, her little granddaughter had survived a great disaster and escaped from death.


    The cleaning lady took advantage of the moment when no one else was looking and waved her hands towards the window, "No matter which god, thank you for saving my granddaughter today. Please protect her in the future, please don''t harm her in any way!"


    In a place where she couldn''t see, a black figure curled his lips and said soundlessly, "She named me my master, so how could I possibly harm her? What a pedant and ignorant mortal! "


    After a long while, the Bear Cub in the little girl''s arms, once again lit up, and then extinguished. It was no different from before.


    In the dream, he dreamt of a black shadow, always following at her feet. No matter where she went, it would always be at her feet, not even a single inch away.


    Painting smiled beautifully in his dream, greeting the black shadow, "That''s great, write, so you''ve been following me all this time!"

    After Shen Jiaming left the house and closed the anti-theft door, she was a little worried about Sheng Jiuzhou, and did not know if she could stay home by herself. Luckily, the cleaning lady agreed to come over and help, so he was relieved.


    He drove straight to the shrink recommended by his buddy. When they passed by a street, they suddenly saw You Lilin walking along the side of the road with a box in his hand. It looked like a pot of good soup. Behind him followed Fatty. The two of them walked along the sidewalk together. They were very close, but they did not speak any language. It was as if they did not even look at each other. You Lilin then picked up the take-out food and quickly walked forward.


    Shen Jiaming felt it was strange. He called Fatty to contact him multiple times but he did not succeed, but Fatty did not contact him in the end. He even changed his habit and was seen following beside You Lilin a few times.


    When did they become so good?


    He remembered that his relationship with the Fatty was the strongest, and that he was buddies in the same circle as You Lilin, so he could be considered as very strong. However, the relationship between the Fatty and You Lilin was very normal, and it wasn''t always this kind of relationship. Could it be that during the three months he was missing, Fatty ran off with You Lilin? Just like his ex-girlfriend, Qin Feifei!


    When he thought about how the Fatty would be the same as Qin Feifei, abandoning him and getting along well with him, he felt a little upset. He originally wanted to stop the car and call out to the Fatty, but in the end he stopped on the accelerator.


    When he arrived at the psychiatrist''s clinic, he was a little perturbed. Although his parents had divorced since he was young, and he was more or less afraid of marriage, he didn''t have the intention of visiting a psychiatrist. He didn''t expect that he would have such an inexplicable hallucination.


    Because it was a friend''s recommendation, Shen Jiaming didn''t wait and was directly arranged to see a therapist. He told the psychiatrist about his recent energy and sighed helplessly, saying, "There are many times where I can''t tell if it''s a dream or a reality. I ¡­ Is there something wrong with me? "


    The psychiatrist naturally gave Shen Jiaming a series of tests, and finally said: "Mr. Shen, from a medical point of view, all of your indicators are normal, but you said that your recent life had always been filled with illusions, making you unable to tell if it''s real or fake. I think that you might have been caused by the car accident three months ago. After all, you don''t even remember how you passed the past three months. "


    Shen Jiaming frowned. He shook his head and recalled carefully, then said: "I really only slept for two nights, and then the policemen told me it''s been three months. I ¡­"


    Finally, the psychiatrist helped him with a series of treatments and gave him a conservative prescription for his next visit.


    After exiting the therapist''s office, Shen Jiaming was a little depressed. He felt that even after chatting for awhile, they still hadn''t solved any of their problems!


    He was a bit unhappy and walked towards the door in a huff. In the corner of the corridor, he accidentally bumped into someone.


    That person was wearing a white gown, he should also be a doctor from this mental hospital. The two of them nodded apologetically at each other, and Shen Jiaming left.


    The doctor was still standing there, staring at Shen Jiaming''s background for a long time.


    The therapist who treated Shen Jiaming walked out and when she saw him, she immediately laughed, "Big brother, why are you here? "Will you help your dear brother?"


    The doctor who was addressed as "Big Brother" smiled and slowly said, "I actually hope that one day you can come and help me."


    The younger brother, the psychiatrist, firmly shook his head, "Bro, you know I have no talent. Besides, in the grand cause of the clan, you''re the only one who can stand up for it. Oh yeah, big brother, what were you looking at just now? "


    The white-gowned elder brother shook his head and smiled lightly before saying, "Nothing much, I just smelled the scent of a dead man."


    His younger brother''s eyes suddenly lit up. He reached out his hand to grab his older brother''s sleeve, his face full of curiosity. "Big brother, are you talking about that person who just left my office?" You mean he''s already ¡­? "


    The white-gowned elder brother shook his head. "He''s still alive, but he just changed into a new set of skin."


    "Big Brother, your way of doing things is really too mysterious." Say, I''m your younger brother, how come I don''t have any talent at all? I see that when you were discussing with your father, grandfather, and the others, it was like you were blind and didn''t know anything. "Actually, I feel like that person just now ¡­" The younger brother paused, his jaw moved in the direction of the door and said: "That''s him. That person just now, he came to look at psychological problems, he said that he always had hallucinations and saw some unimaginable things in reality. He still couldn''t tell if it was reality or a dream ¡­ I wanted to tell him that you shouldn''t have come to a psychiatrist. You should have gone to the masters. "


    He talked for a while and when his brother didn''t respond, he stopped and asked, "Big brother, what are you thinking about? "Did you listen to me?"


    "Oh, oh, I''m listening." His big brother came back to his senses and said a few half-hearted words.


    He pouted and said, "Hmph, I knew it. Big brother, you definitely aren''t listening to me, you''re just bullying me because I have no talent and can''t see anything."


    "Okay, stop messing around. You''re already so old, yet you''re still acting like a spoiled child to me, your elder brother."


    The younger brother laughed. He pestered the older brother and asked curiously, "What exactly did that person have on him?" I don''t understand what it means to have a new skin, but you should give me a more detailed explanation! "


    His big brother deliberately kept a straight face, "Why are you asking him? Didn''t you not care about this before? "


    "Sigh, isn''t it because he is my classmate''s sworn brother, and can''t be considered an outsider? If we really can help him, then let''s help him. He was also quite pitiful. Three months ago, there was a car accident, and the cars on the same bus were all destroyed. He was lucky to survive, but he forgot how he survived these three months.


    "Where did he get the accident?" The elder brother suddenly interrupted his younger brother and asked an irrelevant question. The younger brother frowned and racked his brains. "I remember that car accident was shown on TV. It seemed to be a place to climb mountains. Oh, oh, oh ¡­"


    After his younger brother mentioned the name of the place, his older brother became silent, his expression changing completely.


    "Big brother, what''s wrong? Why does your face look so bad? "


    After a long time, he finally said, "In that place, the person who can give him a new leather bag, or I should have thought of it before, the person who can give a normal person a new leather bag, and is not a dead person ¡­" The world was about to fall into chaos ¡­ It was going to be a mess! "Because, she came out ¡­

    After Aunt Cleansing had left, Sheng Jiuzhou had locked himself in the master bedroom the entire time. He did not come out, nor did he pick up the phone that Aunt Cleaner had dropped. No one knew what Sheng Jiuzhou was doing in the house.


    In the quiet room, as time passed, the doorbell suddenly rang.


    The first time it rang, Sheng Jiuzhou acted as if he did not hear it, and did not pay any attention to it. However, the doorbell never stopped ringing. It was so untiring that it made people extremely upset.


    Afterwards, the doorbell finally stopped ringing, but the door was still being knocked hard, "Shen Jiaming, come out, I beg you, please meet me. I really can''t take it anymore, I really can''t take it anymore ¡­"


    Shen Jiaming and the other people on the floor were all working during the day. The women at the door were making a ruckus, but it did not affect the neighbors. She had also deliberately picked a time like this to come over, so she understood Shen Jiaming. Although he looked very masculine, his heart was actually the softest. As long as she cried and messed with him, he would definitely soften his heart and forgive her.


    Qin Feifei was at the anti-theft door, trying her best to cry and clap on it when the anti-theft door suddenly opened. She pushed on the door and almost sat on the floor. She had originally wanted to cry like a little girl, but when she saw that there was a young lady standing in front of Shen Jiaming''s house, the place was empty behind her and Shen Jiaming was not there.


    Qin Feifei made the first move and questioned sternly: "Who are you? Why are you at Shen Jiaming''s house? "


    She looked at Sheng Jiuzhou for a long time, then suddenly remembered that the last time she came to look for Shen Jiaming, there was also a little girl by his side. At that time, she was only concerned with entangling Shen Jiaming, she didn''t care about her, she only thought that they were passing by or a neighbor, she didn''t think that this little girl was actually still in Shen Jiaming''s house.


    Sheng Jiuzhou looked coldly at Qin Feifei, looking down from above without saying a word.


    Qin Feifei was a little angry, and bellowed: "Where is Shen Jiaming? Let him out! I want to see him. I want to talk to him. "


    Sheng Jiuzhou stood at the doorway motionlessly, his face expressionless, causing people to be unavoidably afraid.


    Qin Feifei did not believe that he was actually afraid of such a little girl. She looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, or at most twenty. Who was she, Qin Feifei? He must have seen more of the world than this little girl, so how could he be scared by her?


    She held onto her waist and was about to rush towards Shen Jiaming''s house, but instead shouted as she walked: "Jia Ming, I''m here to look for you, I''m coming in ¡­"


    She wanted to pretend that Sheng Jiuzhou did not exist, but how could Sheng Jiuzhou not exist? She did not speak and did not extend her hand to stop Qin Feifei.


    Qin Feifei wanted to rely on his pregnancy to rush in, but Sheng Jiuzhou, who was guarding the door, was not in the mood at all. She puffed her stomach and shouted, "Little girl, do you know, I am a pregnant woman, if something were to happen to me while you are blocking me, can you bear the responsibility? "You ¡­"


    "You are not worthy!"


    Just as Qin Feifei was talking nonstop, he suddenly opened his mouth and mercilessly interrupted her. Qin Feifei was startled at first, but then he understood what Sheng Jiuzhou meant. He turned angry from embarrassment and shouted: "Who are you? What right do you have to say that to me? It''s not up to you whether I''m worthy or not. "


    When she finished speaking, Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly laughed sinisterly. His laugh was eerie and strange, causing Qin Feifei, who was at the door, to instantly feel his entire body go cold, as if his hair was standing on end.


    She looked at Sheng Jiuzhou in disbelief and questioned her with a stern voice, "What are you laughing at?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou''s temper suddenly changed. He actually spoke with complete patience, as he enunciated every word, "From now on, Shen Jiaming is under my control. No matter if he''s dead or alive, it''s not yours!"


    Qin Feifei did not understand what Sheng Jiuzhou was saying, but the Qi she was releasing, was extremely terrifying. She held back her trembling and asked Sheng Jiuzhou fearfully, "Why? What makes you say that? "Who do you think you are?"


    The smile on Sheng Jiuzhou''s face suddenly disappeared, and returned to his previous icy cold state. She did not speak, and her gaze fell on Qin Feifei''s reader, as a cold smile surfaced at the corner of her mouth.


    Qin Feifei subconsciously covered his lower abdomen, but he didn''t know what Sheng Jiuzhou''s gaze fell on her body.


    Sheng Jiuzhou turned around, without saying a word, with a "Peng" sound, he closed the anti-theft door, and let Qin Feifei eat the cake.


    Qin Feifei had not seen Shen Jiaming yet, so he was naturally unwilling to leave. He purposely pestered himself at Shen Jiaming''s doorstep, thinking about knocking on the door.


    This time, however, she found that she had rung the bell, and it had stopped ringing. She knocked on the door with all her strength, and although she heard the sound, there was no response from behind the door.


    Qin Feifei knocked for half an hour, feeling tired, he squatted on the ground to rest. Then she fell asleep against the security door.


    She dreamt of many things: Shen Jiaming, gold, villas, luxurious cars, and all kinds of expensive jewelry. These were the things she had dreamed of. She herself was very capable, and her monthly salary was not cheap. But those monthly salary were not enough for her to earn money, so when she met Shen Jiaming, her eyes simply shone brightly.


    Shen Jiaming was not some rich second generation, he just had the ability to earn money. He might not be ranked on the national rich list like this, but he was already the man with the best economic strength that Qin Feifei could find. Furthermore, Shen Jiaming was not only young, but she was also handsome. She was straightforward, generous, and easy to get along with, much better than those old men who come back with money.


    In these few years that she had been dating Shen Jiaming, she had also invested her feelings into him, so when Shen Jiaming got into an accident, she had really cried herself to death and was extremely hurt.


    She was drunk that time, but she didn''t know what happened. She had such a relationship with You Lilin, to think that she was actually pregnant. When You Lilin proposed marriage to her, she hesitated, but she thought that the possibility of Shen Jiaming surviving was very small. Although she wanted to marry Shen Jiaming, if she couldn''t marry Shen Jiaming, then she could marry You Lilin who had similar economic strength. Moreover, the two of them were unintentionally pregnant, so he was willing to take responsibility. This proved that the other person was also not bad.


    She had never thought that Shen Jiaming would return safely, not only that he would return alive, he would not lose an arm, not to mention, he had lost an arm, not to mention, a leg.

 C42

    When Qin Feifei woke up, she found out that she was actually sleeping on her own bed, and the man sitting beside her bed was You Lilin.


    Seeing that she had woken up, You Lilin immediately revealed a smile. He said, "Fei Fei, why did you go out on your own again? I just bought you some soup, why are you so disobedient? Fei Fei, I beg you, even if you are not thinking for me or for yourself, please think for us children. He''s still so young, and he hasn''t even been born into this world yet. You can''t be so willful, right? "


    Qin Feifei didn''t know how she got home, but the moment she saw You Lilin, an idea popped up in her mind and she blurted out, "You Lilin, let''s get a divorce!"


    "Qin Feifei!" You Lilin was a little angry, "Back then when we accepted the marriage certificate, the two of us agreed on it, how could you just divorce us like that? Don''t you think that your selfishness is too much? "


    "You Lilin, Shen Jiaming is back! The person I love has always been Shen Jiaming, and the person I want to marry has always been Shen Jiaming as well! "


    "Qin Feifei, what do you love about Shen Jiaming? I know you just love the money in his hands. Although I, You Lilin am currently not rich as Shen Jiaming, I am not lacking in money either. "What do you want to buy, what do you want to use, what do you want to eat, I won''t leave you anything. Why do you want to get divorced?"


    "You Lilin, do you understand? It''s not a matter of money. If it''s only a matter of money, I could go find an old man richer than you. Why should I waste my time on you? I really am a good person, Shen Jiaming. Since he has returned, I still have a chance to return to his side. I wanted to return to his side. "


    "Is he that good? Shen Jiaming is that good? " You Lilin started to smash things on the things inside the house like crazy. In an instant, the entire room was as if a typhoon had blown by, and the place had turned into a mess.


    After he finished venting, he pointed at Qin Feifei who was on the bed trembling in fear and bellowed: "Qin Feifei, I''ll tell you this, unless I, You Lilin die, I will not get a divorce!"


    Qin Feifei had actually gotten to know You Lilin through Shen Jiaming, and could be considered to be rather familiar with him. Shen Jiaming had a good personality and would never be this angry, even if the two of them were to argue, Shen Jiaming would compromise. Qin Feifei''s impression of You Lilin had always been that of a humble son. He was easy-going and had a very good temper, but he had never known that he would be so frightening when he got angry.


    Qin Feifei''s temper was also stubborn. Although she was afraid of angering You Lilin, but the more it was like this, the more unwilling she was to give in, shouting as she held her neck, "You Lilin, it''s useless for you to threaten me. I must get a divorce. "I won''t make this decision so easily for the rest of my life. I don''t want it, I want to get divorced, I want to get divorced ¡­"


    You Lilin pounced towards Qin Feifei excitedly, but he was still able to see his example, so he stopped at the last touch of the button, standing straight on the side of the bed. He liked Qin Feifei, how could he bear to hit her? Moreover, she was pregnant with his child.


    He turned angrily, slammed the door, and left.


    On the floor, there was the freshly bought soup of ribs. The soup spilled all over the floor, and the surroundings became even more chaotic.


    Qin Feifei sat on the bed and cried, "I haven''t sent any anymore these days, so I must get a divorce. Jia Ming, wait for me, I will definitely marry you! "


    However, Qin Feifei didn''t understand in the end that she should have been leaning on Shen Jiaming''s door to prevent theft. Why was it that the moment she opened her eyes, she was lying inside his house?


    When Shen Jiaming returned home, the moment he entered, he saw the phone that was dropped on the floor, as well as Auntie Cleansing''s big backpack. He then turned his head, and saw that the kitchen and dining table were still uncleaned, Shen Jiaming became slightly worried, and quickly went to the master bedroom to knock on the door, calling Sheng Jiuzhou out.


    When Sheng Jiuzhou came out, he asked her urgently, "Ah Jiu, what happened at home? Where''s Auntie Cleanser? "


    "She had something at home, so she left temporarily."


    Hearing that there was nothing else, Shen Jiaming was relieved. He placed the medicine on the table, rolled up his sleeves, put on his apron and headed to the kitchen to clean up.


    Sheng Jiuzhou stood behind him and was silent the entire time. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and asked a question that was completely irrelevant, "Shen Jiaming, will you marry Qin Feifei?"


    Shen Jiaming did not expect Sheng Jiuzhou to suddenly ask such a question back, and after a moment of stuttering, she resolutely shook her head, "Ah Jiu, I already said that she no longer has anything to do with me."


    Sheng Jiuzhou replied with an "oh", went silent for a long while, and said in a low voice: "If you dare go to him, I will make all of you pay the price."


    Shen Jiaming was busy cleaning up the kitchen, and asked Sheng Jiuzhou concernedly, "Ah Jiu, have you eaten your fill?" When he was speaking, he seemed to have heard Sheng Jiuzhou say "price", so he turned his head and looked at her suspiciously, and said: "Ah Jiu, what did you say just now? I''m at the tap here, so I couldn''t hear you clearly. "


    Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly smiled sweetly and did not speak anymore.


    After tidying up everything, Shen Jiaming took the medicine and carefully looked at the explanation, muttering to himself, "These medicine, looks so ordinary, can it really cure my illness?"


    When he slept at night, Shen Jiaming took the medicine according to the doctor''s instructions. He lied on the bed and prayed.


    When he was about to fall asleep, the little boy''s jumping and shouting came again. Originally, Shen Jiaming was already about to fall asleep.


    Shen Jiaming laid on his bed, he was furious, but in the end, he could not endure it anymore. He donned on his clothes, opened the door and walked into the corridor.


    Since he had met a psychiatrist today, he was sure that everything he saw in the past was just an illusion. As a result, Shen Jiaming was not really afraid this time when he came out of his house.


    The moment he walked out of the door, he saw a child running and jumping around in the corridor. Shen Jiaming could not endure it any longer and shouted, "Hey, stop right there!"


    The little boy who was playing was startled by his voice at first, but when he suddenly turned his head to look at him, his eyes were filled with shock. Then, he revealed a sweet smile and called out, "Uncle!"


    Just as Shen Jiaming was about to speak, the little boy suddenly disappeared. The place he disappeared from, the metal door of the safe passage was swinging back and forth.


    Shen Jiaming was so angry that she almost became sick. Clutching her chest, she thought about it and in the end, did not chase behind the safety gate like last time.


    He did not know why he was frightened and did not dare to chase after it, but when he thought about the Bear Cub that made his hair stand on end, he decided not to take the risk himself.

 C43

    After Shen Jiaming entered the house from outside, he laid on the bed and fell asleep. Furthermore, it was either because of the medicine or because he had already seen a doctor before, that made Shen Jiaming sleep an unprecedented sleep that night. It was to the point that for the next week, he did not have any strange nightmares or hear any other sounds from the little boys in the corridor.


    However, Shen Jiaming found a new problem, which was that Sheng Jiuzhou was really picky with his food, it was basically just meat, not vegetables, and not even something like an onion.


    Shen Jiaming expressed his understanding. After all, a child falling from the eighth floor would definitely be fine, it was fortunate that the cleaning lady had to retire and take care of the child, it could be considered a good thing for the child.


    However, when Shen Jiaming looked at the phone and backpack that Aunt Pacifico left in his house, he thought for a moment and then drove over to deliver it to her.


    Before he left, he asked Sheng Jiuzhou, "Ah Jiu, do you want to come with me to look for Aunt Purity''s place?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou thought about it seriously, shook his head, and said: "I don''t need to."


    Shen Jiaming was already used to Sheng Jiuzhou''s nonsense, so he did not say a word, and took his cleaning aunt''s things to the elevator. As he walked, he thought about what he should buy for his children.


    As he was going out, he saw that the neighbor next door had also come out. It was a man in a suit, about 3456. Shen Jiaming had met this neighbor a few times before, but he was not familiar with him.


    The two of them nodded, greeted each other, and went up to the elevator together.


    When the elevator was descending, Shen Jiaming opened his mouth first and asked: "Big brother, do you have children? A little boy, about five or six years old. "


    The neighbor shook his head and said, "I''m still single and unmarried and have no children."


    Oh, "Shen Jiaming asked again," Big brother, then do you know if the person next door to us has any children?


    The neighbor shook his head again. "I''m not familiar with their family. It seems like I''ve never seen a child before. "What''s wrong?"


    "Ah," Shen Jiaming laughed and said, "Big Brother, a few nights ago, did you hear a little boy making a ruckus in our corridor in the middle of the night? The noise was so loud that I couldn''t fall asleep."


    After Shen Jiaming finished speaking, his neighbor''s big brother''s face was full of surprise. After a long while, he finally opened his mouth and said: "Brother, did you hear wrongly? It might be the sound of your TV! I didn''t hear any children making a racket. The quality of our residential building is very good. A few years ago, we even carried out engineering testing and were even ranked as the best noise-proof residential building. Even if they could hear the sounds of children playing in the corridor, they shouldn''t be unable to sleep! I think you may have misheard. "


    Shen Jiaming said with a bitter face and tightly furrowed brows, "I had originally thought that I heard wrong as well. But then I went out to look for him twice, and once I went out to look for him, that kid ran off the moment he saw me, and no matter what I said, he didn''t listen to me at all. "


    Hearing Shen Jiaming''s words, the neighbors also felt it was strange. He could be considered an old resident of this place, but he really had no impression of such a young boy.


    While they were talking, the elevator arrived at the underground parking lot. Shen Jiaming acted in a polite manner and let his neighbor brother walk out of the elevator first, he followed behind him.


    Suddenly, he raised his head and saw the little boy standing in the middle of the lobby of the underground parking lot. His eyes were fixed in the direction of the elevator.


    Shen Jiaming immediately patted his big brother''s shoulder and pointed to the little boy, and said: "Big brother, I am talking about that little kid!"


    The neighboring big brother looked in the direction that Shen Jiaming was pointing at and asked suspiciously: "Who is it?"


    Shen Jiaming was startled. When he looked again, the little boy was no longer in the middle of the underground car park. He had disappeared without a trace, and no one knew where he went.


    "The child ran away again."


    Neighbors'' big brother looked puzzled. He didn''t know what was wrong with his neighbor. He didn''t see anyone in the parking lot, so why did he say that there was a child.


    After Shen Jiaming bid farewell to his big brother, he walked towards his own car.


    He had just reached the car when he saw the little boy standing by the driver''s door, looking up at him curiously.


    Shen Jiaming said to him, "Go home quickly. There are so many cars in the parking lot, it''s very dangerous. You shouldn''t be here to play."


    The little boy suddenly smiled and then, without saying anything, turned around and ran away.


    Shen Jiaming was a little worried about him, afraid that he would be hit by the car entering the car park. She ran two steps behind him, and in the blink of an eye, the little boy disappeared again.


    Shen Jiaming took a deep breath, and shook his head, then walked towards his own car, not caring about anything else.


    The cleaning lady''s granddaughter had been discharged from the hospital. Her body was recovering well. Other than some external injuries, she was completely uninjured.


    Shen Jiaming was not very good at buying things for children, so he carried the fruit basket up. Looking for patients with fruit baskets is never wrong.


    When Painted heard someone knocking on the door, he happily told the Bear Cub in his arms: "Write, a guest is coming to our house again."


    The cleaning lady opened the door and saw that it was Shen Jiaming. She was very surprised, but when she saw her big bag of phone, she realised that all of her things had landed in Shen Jiaming''s house. She thought that she had rushed back that day and landed in a taxi.


    After Shen Jiaming entered the door, he went to look at the flawless aunt''s little granddaughter painting.


    Painting was lying on his bed in his room, holding a colored pen and drawing around on a piece of paper. When Shen Jiaming came in, she obediently called him uncle. Then, she ignored Shen Jiaming and continued to paint with her head lowered.


    The cleaning lady was embarrassed, she did not expect her usually obedient granddaughter to be so rude, she could only apologetically smile at Shen Jiaming.


    Shen Jiaming naturally said that it was alright. However, he still felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart. He thought to himself, this child likes to learn from his parents. Whatever the adult is, the child will follow suit. Since this adult wasn''t polite, then a child naturally wouldn''t be polite if they didn''t compare right and wrong.


    He just mentioned entering the little girl''s room. On the little girl''s bed, there was a man who was obviously drawing with her, and he was obviously her father. However, the little girl''s father acted as if he did not see Shen Jiaming enter, not even lifting his eyebrows arrogantly. It would be strange if this little girl was polite!


    After the cleaning lady sent Shen Jiaming off, she went back to her granddaughter''s room and said unhappily: "Painting, uncle is here to see you, you can''t just hide in the room and ignore him, it''s not polite."


    "I''m not alone. I wrote it."


    "What writing, it''s just a Bear Cub!"

 C44

    After exiting the cleaning lady''s house, Shen Jiaming first went to the company. After all, he had already taken a long leave of absence, and he couldn''t stop working for the rest of his life, so he had to go back to work as soon as possible.


    After he left the company, he bought the meat dishes that Sheng Jiuzhou loved to eat from the restaurant and returned home.


    Sheng Jiuzhou was more surprised today. She didn''t act like she did a few days ago, locking herself in the master bedroom the whole time. She unexpectedly sat on the sofa and watched TV for the first time. Shen Jiaming glanced at it. It was a news channel, where a few social news were being broadcasted.


    He waved to her and called her over, "Ah Jiu, come and eat!"


    But Sheng Jiuzhou did not move, his eyes was staring straight at the television, he did not say a word. Shen Jiaming walked over and took a look at the scene inside. It seemed to be about the history of some mountain, and said that the tourists that had recently come to visit had seen the wonders of the purple fog.


    He was not interested in these things, so he turned his head and continued to call for Sheng Jiuzhou to eat. Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly raised his hand, and pointed to the television screen, and asked: "Shen Jiaming, where are we?"


    Shen Jiaming turned his head and saw that the title of the news item on the television read "The miracle of the Sand Hill again, a rare purple fog in a thousand years". He also did not know where they were and could not say with certainty: "Sand Hill, Pingling City Sand Mountain? It seems to be there. "


    "I want to go."


    "Huh?" Shen Jiaming froze for a moment, then asked her: "You want to go here? When are you going? "


    Sheng Jiuzhou looked at Shen Jiaming, then turned his gaze back to the television, and finally said: "We will go again after the purple fog has dispersed."


    Shen Jiaming didn''t know when the purple mist would disperse, but he still had to greet Sheng Jiuzhou first, "Ah Jiu, I''ll be going back to work next week. Can you stay at home by yourself?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou frowned, his expression full of suspicion. She asked him, "Work? "What is work?"


    Shen Jiaming was amused by her earnest look. He held his stomach and laughed: "Ah Jiu, when I said work, I just want to go out to work and earn money. If your brother doesn''t make money, what are we going to eat? What are we going to spend? "


    "Work?" The doubt on Sheng Jiuzhou''s face changed to a sudden realization, and then, he seemed to be very interested in Shen Jiaming''s work, "So you want to go to work? So, what is your job? Can I help? "


    Shen Jiaming felt that Sheng Jiuzhou''s serious look was just too cute, he endured it and patted her head, then laughed: "My job is to do business."


    "Doing business, oh," Sheng Jiuzhou laughed, then said: "I''m also doing business, trying my best to avert this disaster, paying me with money."


    Shen Jiaming, "..."


    He felt that Sheng Jiuzhou''s weakness was that he needed more food.


    As he had to go to work, he decided to take his laptop to the sofa to organize the materials after dinner. He was afraid that Sheng Jiuzhou would be bored and switched on the game console for her.


    He had all sorts of XBOX 360, Wii, and SP3. He thought that Sheng Jiuzhou was a young girl, and would probably like these things.


    As expected, Sheng Jiuzhou really liked these things. It was as if she had never played these things before. She was curious about everything from start to finish, and she was full of energy as she played all of the games he had collected.


    Shen Jiaming looked at the Sheng Jiuzhou who had played around for an entire day and was actually not the slightest bit tired, and suddenly sighed with emotion.


    When he slept on the bed at night, Shen Jiaming once again heard the little boy''s playful voice. A few days ago, this voice was gone, and Shen Jiaming thought that this child had finally listened to him. Who would have thought that after a few days, this child''s old illness would actually start acting up again.


    Shen Jiaming laid on the bed and endured for a long time, thinking that this little boy would go back home after he had had enough fun a few days ago. Unexpectedly, at two in the morning, the little boy''s voice became louder and louder.


    Shen Jiaming could not hold it in anymore. He finally got up and walked out the door.


    He walked to the profound entrance, and the moment he opened the door to his home, he was immediately shocked, and couldn''t help but yell out, "Ah Jiu, why did you run out yourself?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou was standing in the hallway at the door, wearing the pajamas he bought for her. He did not even wear a jacket, and it was unknown whether he was cold or not.


    Shen Jiaming immediately took off his jacket, and without thinking, he hung it on Sheng Jiuzhou''s body, and couldn''t help but teach her a lesson, "Although it''s summer, it''s already two in the morning, you can''t just run out like this, understand?"


    After teaching Sheng Jiuzhou a lesson, it was''s turn to face the little boy. The little boy was standing beside the iron gate of the safe passage. Half of his body was hiding behind the gate, and he was trembling all over.


    Shen Jiaming said sternly as he lectured the little boy, "What are you making a fuss about if you don''t sleep in the middle of the night? How many days have you been making a ruckus yourself? Ah? Do you know that you can affect other people''s rest? What about your parents? "Why don''t I care about you?"


    During this period of time, Shen Jiaming had been tormented by this little boy to such an extent that his tone was unavoidably strict.


    The little boy''s eyes were in a daze as he stared at Shen Jiaming. The lights in the corridor at night were not very dazzling, and he was also hiding in the shadows of the iron gate. Therefore, Shen Jiaming could not see the little boy''s expression clearly, and did not know what he was thinking.


    He strode towards the boy. In the blink of an eye, the little boy was nowhere to be seen beside the iron gate.


    Probably because Sheng Jiuzhou was behind him, Shen Jiaming didn''t hesitate this time and chased straight for the safe passage.


    The light in the safe passage was dimmer than in the corridor, and there was no sign of the boy on the stairs or under the stairs.


    Disappointed, Shen Jiaming walked back to Sheng Jiuzhou''s side and asked: "Was Ah Jiu also woken up by him?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou turned his head to look at Shen Jiaming, and said helplessly: "You shouldn''t have provoked him."


    Shen Jiaming frowned, he did not understand what Sheng Jiuzhou meant.


    After two days, the little boy did not continue to cause trouble in the corridor in the middle of the night. It seemed like the effect of Shen Jiaming teaching the little boy a lesson last time had been felt.


    When Monday arrived, Shen Jiaming prepared to go to work. Before he left, he left behind some money for Sheng Jiuzhou and his newly bought phone.


    Sheng Jiuzhou didn''t seem to have any reluctance to go to work for Shen Jiaming. In the past few days, she had been obsessed with playing games. It had been a long time since she had last shut herself in the master bedroom.


    Shen Jiaming didn''t know whether it was good or bad for Sheng Jiuzhou to become like this.

 C45

    Shen Jiaming had not gone to the company for a long time, so when he arrived, many people came to greet him, concerned about his health.


    After Shen Jiaming entertained everyone, he closed the door of the office and called Sheng Jiuzhou.


    Sheng Jiuzhou had a new phone and was very curious. He started to play on it in the next two days. There were a lot of games on her touchscreen phone. Once she started playing mobile games, she didn''t like to play the same games as before.


    Shen Jiaming felt that it was weird that a fine young lady like her would actually be playing touchscreen mobile games for the first time. He wondered how her original parents had managed to make her daughter behave like this.


    After giving Sheng Jiuzhou a call, Shen Jiaming started to calm down, "I can''t keep playing with my phone, it''s not good for my eyes, I can''t always stay in my bedroom, I need to go out and exercise. When Auntie comes over, you can tell Auntie what you want to eat and get her to make it for you. "Wait for me to come back tonight, I''ll take you for a walk, so you won''t feel too bored ¡­"


    As Shen Jiaming was continuously giving instructions to Sheng Jiuzhou, someone pushed open his office door and greeted him with a smile, "Boss Shen, what are you doing? Not at ease with your girlfriend? Those who didn''t know about it would think that you were repeatedly warning your own daughter. You sure are meticulous! "


    The one who came in was Shen Jiaming''s colleague, Xu Ze Hao, also his good friend. The two of them had entered the company together to level up.


    "Shen, I wanted to go and see you, but I gave up on the idea that you might not like to see people in the company," Xu said. I heard you were in a car accident. You came to work so early? "


    Shen Jiaming hung up the phone and laughed: "It''s extremely difficult to be alive!"


    "That''s right. No wonder you''re so good to your girlfriend. You''re simply like a 24 year old husband!"


    Shen Jiaming laughed out loud, concealing the pain in his heart, "What girlfriend, is she my younger sister? She''s been living at my house for the past few days. The little girl is young and addicted to playing with cellphones. As your big brother, I have to control her. I''m a bachelor right now and I don''t have a girlfriend. If you have one, remember to introduce one to me. "


    "You''re single? You broke up with Qin Feifei? " Xu Ze Hao was somewhat surprised. He had seen Qin Feifei before, and knew that she and Shen Jiaming had been chatting for many years. They were just about to talk about marriage, why did they suddenly break up?


    Shen Jiaming did not explain any further, he only said that the two of them were incompatible in personality and broke up just like that.


    Xu Zelao felt that this fact was too shocking. The two of them were not young anymore and no longer had the same personality. How could they have dated for so many years? Isn''t this delaying our youth?


    However, it was someone else''s business after all, and he couldn''t get involved. He came over to look for Shen Jiaming to have lunch with him. After all, he had not expressed anything when Shen Jiaming returned.


    As the two of them were old friends, Shen Jiaming did not stand on ceremony with him and immediately agreed. The two of them chose a western restaurant at noon, and ate a full meal before returning to the company.


    On the road back to the company, Xu Ze Hao drove the car. Shen Jiaming was worried about Sheng Jiuzhou at home, so he started to call her from the car.


    After Sheng Jiuzhou received the call, he anxiously asked: "Ah Jiu, have you eaten lunch? What did auntie do? "


    This aunty''s cooking was very delicious. The main point was that she cooked a lot of meat for Sheng Jiuzhou, unlike the auntie from before, she even made vegetables for her. So, this time, Sheng Jiuzhou ate really happily, and happily said to Shen Jiaming: "The meat is delicious."


    Her childish words made Shen Jiaming extremely happy, and the smile on his face couldn''t help but smile. He held the phone and comforted her softly, "Ah Jiu, eat more meat."


    After he hung up, Xu looked at him strangely.


    Shen Jiaming was a little confused, she asked him, "What''s wrong with you?"


    "Is it really your sister?"


    "Huh?" Shen Jiaming could not understand why Xu Ze Hao would suddenly ask that.


    Xu Zelao said bluntly, "The way you talk, the smile that comes from the inside and the smile that comes from the inside, no matter how you look at it, that phone call wasn''t to your little sister! Saying that, you will honestly say yes. Did you secretly hide a little lover? "


    Shen Jiaming was angered to death by Xu Ze Hao as he laughed, "What nonsense are you spouting? She is just a younger sister. No matter what happens in the future, I will take care of her."


    Xu Ze Hao saw that Shen Jiaming could not get anything out of him, so he did not ask anymore, and the two of them went back to the company together.


    Shen Jiaming stood at the entrance of the company building, waiting for Xu Ze Hao to stop the car. When he turned around, he saw a child following behind him.


    Shen Jiaming was a little surprised, he intentionally opened his eyes wide and said to the little boy: "Why are you here?"


    This little boy was the one that would jump and make a ruckus in the corridor of Shen Jiaming''s house every night.


    The little boy looked at Shen Jiaming and laughed, he looked extremely happy, and the corner of his mouth almost touched his ears.


    Seeing that he did not say anything, Shen Jiaming intentionally threatened him, "If you do not, I will hand you over to the building''s security. At that time, the police will come and capture you! Are you afraid! Who did you come here with? Your father? Your mother? "


    As he spoke, he carefully tried to recall if the little boy''s parents were also part of his company. However, even after thinking for a long time, he still could not recall anyone who was so young.


    The little boy was still smiling, but he finally moved and pointed at Shen Jiaming.


    Shen Jiaming also pointed at herself, and asked him, "What do you mean? What do you mean I do? "


    "With you."


    "Huh?" After Shen Jiaming finished his surprise, he then realised that this little boy had answered his previous question. He had actually come with him!


    Shen Jiaming was surprised, and asked him in disbelief: "You said that you came with me? You alone? How did you get here? "


    How did such a young child find his company? What would happen if something happened on the way here?


    The little boy did not reply Shen Jiaming, he only continued to laugh.


    Shen Jiaming had no choice but to compromise and continue to chat with the child, "What do you think? Why are you following me? Are you looking for me for something? "Hmm?"


    "Old Shen, what are you doing? To whom? "It''s almost time, let''s go in first."


    Xu Ze Hao parked his car and walked in from outside. Seeing Shen Jiaming bending his waist, he felt a bit confused.


    Shen Jiaming pointed to the child beside him, and said helplessly: "This child said that he came with me, and asked him not to say anything else. I''m thinking about what to do."


    "Child? What child? Where are the children? "

 C46

    Xu Ze Hao looked at the empty Shen Jiaming beside him, and said with a strange expression: "Child? What child? Where are the children? "


    Shen Jiaming was still complaining to Xu Ze Hao and pointing a finger at the little boy, when he suddenly heard Xu Ze Hao''s question.


    He looked at the child beside him in disbelief, and then looked at Xu Zelao who was looking around for a child. He could not help but ask, "Old Xu, what do you mean by that? This child is here? Are you joking with me? "


    Xu Ze Hao frowned and looked at Shen Jiaming weirdly. He extended his hand and touched Shen Jiaming''s forehead, "You''re sick? Are you in a trance? "


    Shen Jiaming''s forehead was covered in cold sweat. He turned his head to look at the little boy and saw that he was still standing there, smiling sweetly at him.


    This child was right here, but Shen Jiaming was a little dazed when he heard Xu Ze Hao say that he couldn''t see.


    At this time, a security guard walked over from afar and greeted Shen Jiaming and Xu Zelao enthusiastically, "Boss Shen, CEO Xu, do you two need help? I see you guys have been standing here for a long time? Chief Shen''s expression isn''t good?


    When Shen Jiaming saw the security guards, he immediately asked, "How can you let little kids in?"


    The security guard was at a loss. "Child? No child came in! Chief Shen, our Security Office has always done our duty, we would never make this kind of mistake. "


    As Shen Jiaming listened to the security guard speak, his eyes were looking at the little boy beside him. The little boy was still smiling, looking innocent and innocent.


    Shen Jiaming felt that this world was shrouded in mystery, he had probably seen a ghost.


    The entire afternoon after that, the little boy followed Shen Jiaming. When he went to the office, he followed him to the office. When he went to a meeting, he followed him to a meeting. Even when he went to the toilet, he stayed outside.


    At first, Shen Jiaming deceived himself. After all, he did not believe that there was a ghost in this world. He told himself that the little boy was just a hallucination, just like the last time he''d gone to see a psychiatrist. He was just suffering from the same problem of not being able to distinguish between reality and hallucination. However, reality told him that he was truly deceiving himself.


    Shen Jiaming who had done a lot of mental research finally confirmed one thing. No matter what this little boy was like, he really existed, and even if no one else could see him, he truly existed.


    After going through a long mental fortification, Shen Jiaming decided to go all out and have a talk with this little boy.


    He pulled up a swivel chair and pointed to the center of his office. "Who are you? Why are you following me? "


    The little boy today was different from what he had seen in the corridor. At that time, he was jumping and jumping, making a ruckus. Today, he was always by his side. He was smiling from ear to ear as if he was very happy.


    Hearing Shen Jiaming talking to him, the little boy seemed to be even happier. He grinned and said, "You can see me."


    "Huh?" Shen Jiaming was very surprised, and immediately asked: "What do you mean? "Why do you say that?"


    The little boy held his fingers and lowered his head, feeling helpless, he slowly said, "It''s been a long time since anyone has seen me, when I speak to them, they ignore me, and when I follow behind them, they can''t see me either. I want to talk to people, but you all ignore me. "


    He paused, then added, "You''ve ignored me before."


    Shen Jiaming was first stunned for a while, then immediately grabbed him and continued to ask, "Tell me ¡­ I ignored you before? When did this happen? "How long ago?"


    The little boy thought about it for a long time, but he didn''t know how long it had been. He could only say softly, "It was long before you left."


    What he said didn''t make any sense. Shen Jiaming didn''t understand anything at all, he asked the little boy a few more times before the boy said, "You took a long trip, and after you returned, you ignored me. You didn''t even pay attention to me before!"


    This time, Shen Jiaming finally understood. So the word that the little boy used to describe him was referring to the accident three months ago. He could not see the little boy until after he returned from the car accident.


    He asked, "How long have you been in the corridor?"


    The little boy shook his head. He couldn''t explain it at all.


    Shen Jiaming asked him, "Do you remember who your parents are? Where is your home? "


    The little boy shook his head. He still couldn''t say anything.


    Shen Jiaming hesitantly asked him in the end, "Do you remember how you died? How long have you been dead? "


    The little boy''s eyes suddenly widened in disbelief. He was very young and his voice was very soft. Shen Jiaming heard him say, "Dead? Am I dead? Am I dead? "


    Shen Jiaming was having ups and downs today, he had just realised that he actually had Dual Blessing, he could actually see ghosts and even talk to ghosts.


    However, what made him even more helpless and worried was that this little boy did not even know that he was dead. He had already become a ghost!


    The little boy found out from Shen Jiaming that he was dead, and started to collapse. He was extremely excited, and his body continuously emitted black Qi.


    Shen Jiaming was so frightened that he anxiously stood up from his chair. He had never been in a situation like this before, so he naturally did not know that the ghost was actually so ignorant to the point that it did not even know that he was dead. Furthermore, when he lost control of himself, he was actually this scary.


    More and more black smoke gathered on the little boy''s body, and he was shivering all over. Then he looked at his little hands in disbelief and muttered to himself, "I''m dead? I''m actually dead? How could I die? Where''s my father? Where''s my mother? How could I have died? "


    Shen Jiaming had already gone into hiding at the corner of the office. He looked at the little boy''s body which was emitting a dark aura, which was becoming denser and denser, as if he wanted to develop to the worst possible place.


    In that instant, Shen Jiaming didn''t know what he was thinking, and suddenly shouted for the little boy, "Hey, don''t be like this, I''ll help you find your parents okay?"


    Just as he finished speaking, the black aura on the little boy suddenly dispersed. He raised his head, and looked at Shen Jiaming with a face full of desire.


    Shen Jiaming was also a little confused, he had only just randomly opened his mouth to say those words, and after saying those words, he had regretted it, but he did not expect that he had actually accidentally made the right decision.


    The little boy asked him, "Are you really going to help me find my parents?"


    Shen Jiaming knew that it was impossible for him to get down from the tiger''s back, so he could only bite the bullet and agree. Otherwise, he had no idea what kind of frightening thing would happen to him.

 C47

    Shen Jiaming looked at the little boy and felt that he was very pitiful. He was young, and his life had not even started, yet he was already dead.


    Shen Jiaming did not have any common sense towards demons and devils, so he only looked at the little boy''s situation. He did not know how long the boy had been dead.


    He tried to communicate with the boy, asking him about things he remembered. The little boy tried hard to remember, then shook his head, indicating that he didn''t remember anything.


    Shen Jiaming was also in despair, there were no clues, how was he supposed to help the little boy find a home!


    Just before he got off work, Xu Ze Hao was worried about Shen Jiaming, so he ran over to his office and asked, "Old Shen, how are you doing? Still not feeling well? If you''re not feeling well, then ask for another leave of absence tomorrow. Don''t force yourself. "


    Shen Jiaming looked at the little boy beside Xu Ze Hao, nodded, and said: "Old Xu, help me ask for a leave of absence tomorrow! If I don''t come the day after tomorrow, you can help me request for a leave of absence the day after tomorrow! "


    "Alright then, leave the matter of applying for leave to me. You need to go home and take care of your illness. Your body is the capital of the revolution, you can''t do that without a good body!"


    After Shen Jiaming sent Xu Ze Hao away, he smiled bitterly at the little boy and said: "You heard me right? Don''t be anxious, I asked for a leave to find you. I will definitely do what I promised you. "But, I don''t know you. If you recall carefully, I can help you find any characteristics of your family as soon as possible, right?"


    When he spoke to him, his voice was very gentle, as if he was treating his own nephew, Wei Tongtong. Actually, this little boy looked to be five or six years old, and really did not look that much older than Wei Tongtong.


    This was also the first time Shen Jiaming had helped a ghost find a home. He didn''t have a clue, so he searched for news of such a big child''s death on the internet, and then searched for so-called "capable man" in this area, but to no avail.


    Shen Jiaming had no choice but to take out her phone and call Sheng Jiuzhou. She told her that he wouldn''t be going back tonight, and that she should be more careful at home by herself.


    He had a little ghost kid with him, how was he going to get home? He was not the only one in the family, there was also Sheng Jiuzhou. Even if this little boy looked harmless, but if something were to happen to him and involve the innocent Sheng Jiuzhou, Shen Jiaming would definitely feel apologetic.


    Sheng Jiuzhou answered the phone. He was confused at first, but then he realized that Shen Jiaming wouldn''t be back at night. Shen Jiaming immediately used the excuse that "the company is busy working overtime". He thought that Sheng Jiuzhou, who did not have a deep understanding of the facilities, would believe what he had just said.


    Sheng Jiuzhou didn''t ask anything and just hung up the phone, causing Shen Jiaming to feel a sense of loss in his heart, as if he had lost his beloved.


    However, when he saw the boy in the office, he closed his eyes and braced himself. He said, "The two of us will stay here tonight. Let''s think about your past together, okay?"


    Although the little boy was young, he was already five years old. He could understand Shen Jiaming''s words. Shen Jiaming could tell that when this little boy heard him, he was also an extremely obedient child. He was at least the kind that was very obedient, after all, he had turned into a ghost.


    Because the little boy didn''t remember anything, Shen Jiaming didn''t have the heart to finish his meal, hence he starved to the point of accompanying him.


    The two of them were in the office, staring at each other. They looked at each other without saying anything. Shen Jiaming looked at this little boy, and suddenly asked him out of curiosity: "Hey, since you know that I can see you, why didn''t you come to find me when I was not working a few days ago, and instead came to my company with me today?"


    Shen Jiaming''s words were a little long, the little boy understood for a long time before he replied, "Afraid."


    His voice was soft and Shen Jiaming was momentarily unable to hear it clearly. He frowned and asked: "What did you say? Louder? I didn''t hear it? "


    "Big sister, scared."


    "Huh?" The little boy''s voice was very vague. Shen Jiaming could only hear the last two words, and could not guess what the little boy meant.


    He was about to ask again when the little boy suddenly turned around and ran away. He didn''t even open the door and directly disappeared from his office. His movements were extremely fast, causing Shen Jiaming to not even be able to see clearly whether he had suddenly disappeared, or whether he had passed through the wall.


    Shen Jiaming could not help but sigh. Research on ghosts was also a very complicated subject.


    As he was thinking, the office door was suddenly pushed open.


    Shen Jiaming was shocked, it was already so late, there was still someone in the company building?


    Their company had always been known for being efficient and didn''t encourage employees to work overtime, so at this time, other than building security, no other employees would be staying here.


    The door to his office was pushed open, and a person that Shen Jiaming was very surprised to see entered.


    "Ah Jiu, why are you here?" Shen Jiaming was shocked, and shouted loudly: "You came alone? How did you get here? How did you find me? "


    After Sheng Jiuzhou entered the office, he didn''t say anything. He simply walked around in a circle around Shen Jiaming''s office, and then stopped at the center of the office. She was standing in exactly the same position as the little boy from before.


    Because Sheng Jiuzhou had arrived, Shen Jiaming was extremely excited, and at the same time, extremely worried. Naturally, he did not notice where Sheng Jiuzhou was standing. He was worried that the little boy would come back and affect Sheng Jiuzhou, so he anxiously said: "Ah Jiu, I will bring you out of here. You go home first, it''s not safe here."


    After he finished speaking, he felt that there was something wrong with what he had said. His office was not safe, so returning home was even more so. One had to know that this little boy had followed him from his home to his company.


    Shen Jiaming didn''t know what to do, but he suddenly spoke, "Shen Jiaming, let''s go home!"


    Hearing Sheng Jiuzhou''s request, Shen Jiaming did not say anything. Gritting his teeth, he braced himself and followed Sheng Jiuzhou home.


    On the way home, he had been worried that the little boy would follow him, but when he entered the house, he didn''t see him again.


    Shen Jiaming thought that since the little boy had not caught up with him, they would be able to find him the next day. However, the next day, he waited at home for a whole day and didn''t see the little boy. He also didn''t know where he had gone to.


    Shen Jiaming was still worried, so he opened his own home''s security door time and time again, wanting to see if the little boy was standing right in front of their house''s entrance.


    No, no, not even for a day.

 C48

    Sheng Jiuzhou had been playing games on his phone the entire time. He seemed to be completely uninterested in why Shen Jiaming did not go to work the whole day.


    Shen Jiaming was very grateful that Sheng Jiuzhou had brazenly gone to the company last night to bring him home, so even if she didn''t say anything, he would still be satisfied.


    He thought that if there was always such a sister at home, always with him, waiting for him, even going to fetch him home, he would be willing to spoil her.


    But unfortunately, he silently sighed. Sheng Jiuzhou wasn''t his blood sister after all, he would send her home once he found her family.


    Thinking about it, Shen Jiaming couldn''t help but think about the little boy who was still looking for his home. He also didn''t know where he went, or whether he found his own family.


    Shen Jiaming waited at his house for two days straight, but not even the little boy came to look for him. He couldn''t sit still any longer, so he decided to go out a few times and ask around in his building if any of his children had died.


    Although he had lived here for many years, he did not know most of his neighbors. The first person he asked was the big brother that he met the last time he was on the same floor.


    The elder brother shook his head and said, "I''m single today, and I don''t have any relatives or children. Lao Chi, you mentioned this little boy last time. Why is it mentioned again this time?


    Shen Jiaming shook his head, he said that there was nothing wrong, he just suddenly remembered.


    After bidding farewell to his neighbor, he went to the couple''s house next door. The two of them had been married for several years, and because they were too busy with their careers, they didn''t have children at home for the time being.


    The male neighbor recalled and said, "There are a lot of children in this building, but ¡­ Your child is still alive and well, so this question of yours will be taboo. "


    Shen Jiaming felt that it was to be the case as well. He finally thought of a way to check up on the situation at the properties. Their attitude towards property services had always been good. Shen Jiaming was an old owner, his income was not small, and he was handsome, which could be considered a rather famous neighborhood. When he came to look for help with the property, the property staff quickly looked it up for him. Then, he shook his head and said, "Mr. Shen, this child is not among the owners."


    Shen Jiaming had no other choice but to return home disappointed.


    Just as he left, another older staff member walked up to the staff member who was talking to Shen Jiaming and reminded him in a small voice: "You forgot the one that moved away."


    When Shen Jiaming returned home, he was still playing with his phone. He walked in front of her and snatched her phone away, pretending to be powerful: "Ah Jiu, how many times have I told you that you can''t play with your phone without restraint? Do you still want your eyes?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou pursed his lips, his eyes still staring straight at the phone in Shen Jiaming''s hand.


    Seeing her looking at him, Shen Jiaming immediately hid his phone behind his back, not letting her see it.


    Although Sheng Jiuzhou didn''t have his phone, he wasn''t angry. Instead, he sat in front of the television and watched the news.


    Shen Jiaming found Sheng Jiuzhou very interesting. She had always watched TV only to watch the news. Shen Jiaming thought that since Sheng Jiuzhou liked the dress with gold thread, he would also like the same type of costume. However, every time the ancient costume drama was broadcasted on the television station, she would change it.


    What surprised Shen Jiaming the most was that, other than being interested in new words, Sheng Jiuzhou was actually most interested in advertising! Whenever there was an advertisement on TV, she would stare at it very carefully.


    Shen Jiaming saw that Sheng Jiuzhou was focused on watching TV, so he sneaked into the kitchen to hide on the balcony to close the door. He took out his phone and called one of his brothers.


    That brother picked up the call and joked, "Oh, Brother Shen, you called me today!"


    Shen Jiaming took a deep breath and called out to him: "Zhu Minghui, I have something to ask of you."


    Zhu Minghui anxiously said: "Brother Shen, if you have something to say, just say it. I promise I will help you settle it well!"


    "Thank you." Shen Jiaming paused for a moment, then spoke out with difficulty, "I know you know a lot of people, and there are different types of people from all kinds of industries. If you don''t know some people who understand mystical events, then you''re a master in that area ¡­"


    Zhu Minghui was confused, he did not understand what Shen Jiaming was trying to say, "Brother Shen, what kind of person are you looking for? Was it a master? What kind of master? "


    Shen Jiaming clenched his teeth, and said directly: "A master that can see ghosts!"


    Zhu Minghui was startled, then asked him in shock, "Brother Shen, you actually believe this? Brother, this brother has already handed it over to you, right? These things are all feudal superstitions. They sound profound and unfathomable, but they are actually all lies. The so-called masters that I know all seem to be muttering to each other on the surface, but they are still drinking and fooling around with me behind my back! Brother Shen, no matter how rich you are, you can''t trust this thing. They are just prepared to cheat people like you for your money! "


    Shen Jiaming had heard Zhu Minghui mention it before, that he knew a few masters with magic powers. At that time, he was only listening to them and did not pay much attention to them.


    Shen Jiaming was extremely anxious, there was no way to ask for help so he could only tell Zhu Minghui the truth, "Brother, I won''t hide the truth, I saw a ghost recently. I don''t know what I should do, so I can only ask you to help me scout out the place.


    After Zhu Minghui heard this, he did not say anything for a long time. After a long while, he opened his mouth and carefully asked: "Brother Shen, did you really see a ghost? It''s not an illusion? "


    Shen Jiaming had already made his bottom line, so he did not hide it from him anymore, and directly told him, "I really saw a ghost! Actually, I didn''t believe it either. I thought I had a mental or mental problem and saw a hallucination, so I went to see a psychiatrist a while ago. But yesterday, yesterday, I can be sure that I saw a ghost. Brother, your brother here doesn''t know what to do, I don''t know what to do! "Right now, I''m scared out of my wits because that little ghost will suddenly come to find me. I''m no longer alone in my home, and I still have a sister. I won''t be able to get out no matter what!"


    "But Brother Shen," Zhu Minghui said in disbelief, thinking that Shen Jiaming was hallucinating, "Are you sure you saw a ghost?


    He did not expect Zhu Minghui to not believe him. He became angry and shouted, "Zhu Minghui, tell me, are you going to help or not? If you aren''t going to help, I''ll go to Fatty!"

 C49

    After Shen Jiaming finished roaring, he waited for Zhu Minghui to speak, but Zhu Minghui who was on the other side of the phone seemed to have gone dumb, and was unable to say a single word.


    Shen Jiaming thought that he had gone overboard with his words, which was why he couldn''t say anything. He hesitated for a moment before calming his tone. He called Zhu Minghui who was on the other end of the phone and asked, "Brother, are you alright? Why aren''t you saying anything? "


    "Brother Shen, what did you just say?" Zhu Minghui''s voice trembled a little, the tone of her question sounded a little hesitant.


    Shen Jiaming said straightforwardly without even thinking, "Brother, didn''t I say that you know someone in this area? That''s why I came to find you for help, but if you don''t want to help me, my only choice is to ask Fatty. Although the Fatty may not know this kind of person, but maybe he does not know either. "


    After Shen Jiaming finished speaking, Zhu Minghui was silent for a while, and then, with a surprised expression, he opened his mouth, "Brother Shen, are you serious?"


    "Ah?" "What do you mean serious? Of course I''m serious!" Shen Jiaming felt that Zhu Minghui was usually rather capable and spirited, why was it that when he spoke, he did not understand?


    Zhu Minghui swallowed his saliva and spoke with some fear, "Brother Shen, could it be that you don''t know that Brother Fatty has already ¡­ "He''s already ¡­"


    "Why are you hesitating? If you have something to say, just say it. If you do this, I''m even more anxious!"


    After Shen Jiaming finished speaking, Zhu Minghui also could not say anything. He became anxious and shouted into his phone, "Zhu Minghui, if you have something to say, say it!"


    "Brother Shen!" Zhu Minghui finally opened his mouth and said, "Oh Brother Shen, do you really not know? Brother Fatty is already dead, when you guys got into a car accident, he was thrown out of his car, onto the road, and died on the spot with his head on the ground! "


    "What?!" Shen Jiaming did not believe him and shouted loudly, "Zhu Minghui, you''re lying! Fatty is clearly still alive, and I''ve even seen him before! He was the one who picked me up when I came back! "


    "Brother Shen, you don''t believe me, it''s true, now that the matters of Brother Fatty have been settled, he has already been buried, how about I follow you over there to pay respects to him?"


    "You said the Fatty is dead? Are you kidding me? How could he die? He is clearly still following You Lilin ¡­ "


    When Shen Jiaming said till here, his entire body froze. He had seen Fatty beside a bunch of brothers or You Lilin a few times, but he had never seen his brothers greet and talk to him, nor had he seen You Lilin converse with him, not even with eye contact.


    He thought about his car that was covered in dust. It was obviously Fatty who drove his car to bring him and Sheng Jiuzhou back the day before yesterday, but when he used his car the next day, the car was actually covered in a thick layer of dust as if it had never been used before.


    He suddenly felt his legs go weak. Squatting on the floor, he held his phone, unable to say anything.


    Fatty died?


    The bro he grew up with was actually dead?


    He only found out now that he was slow on the uptake.


    He suddenly remembered something, picked up his phone and dialed Fatty''s number. He didn''t want to believe that Fatty was dead, and he also couldn''t believe that Fatty was dead.


    This time, he dialed Fatty''s number. The previous few times was the same, but at the start of the call, there was always a ringtone, and no one picked up. It was only when he called twice did someone pick up.


    "Auntie, it''s Shen Jiaming!"


    The person on the other side of the phone was startled at first, but then immediately started crying, "Jia Ming, Jia Ming, you''re back! You''re back safely! Our Fatty, our Fatty ¡­ "He won''t be able to come back, he won''t be able to come back ¡­"


    Shen Jiaming was completely awake now.


    No wonder when he called Fatty a few times previously, Fatty''s phone would always be connected very slowly. No wonder he felt that the voice of the person who called Fatty sounded so familiar, no wonder...


    So it turns out that Fatty was already dead, and his phone was in his mother''s hands. So whenever he called, Fatty''s mother would go to his son''s room to pick up the call, so it was very slow! Therefore, every time he made a phone call, he could hear the person''s haggard and heartbroken voice. It was because his son had died, and there was even someone who could call his son. How could she not be sad?


    Shen Jiaming could not control himself and started crying while holding the phone.


    ''s mother, who was on the other side of the phone, heard his tears and could not help but cry too. As she cried, she advised, "Jia Ming, I know that you are feeling the most hurt because something happened to him. Our Fatty has always played with you. "He''s alive and well ¡­"


    The two of them hugged on the phone and cried. Finally, Shen Jiaming asked the location of Fatty''s burial site and hung up, standing up and wiping his tears.


    He had to see his brother.


    Shen Jiaming suddenly hung up the phone. Zhu Minghui was very worried, he could not care about his work anymore and directly left the company to drive to Shen Jiaming''s home.


    The one who opened the door for him was a young girl who was at most in her twenties. Her skin was white and she looked very pretty.


    Zhu Minghui forced a smile and asked her: "Are you Brother Shen''s little sister? Hello, hello. I am a friend of the Brother Shen. Where is the Brother Shen? Is he home? "


    Sheng Jiuzhou raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the kitchen. The kitchen door to the balcony was tightly closed. He wondered if Shen Jiaming was there or not.


    Zhu Minghui changed his shoes, he did not have the time to continue chatting with the young lady, he immediately ran to the kitchen with his slippers, and pushed open the kitchen door.


    Shen Jiaming was still sitting on the cold tiles, his eyes red. He raised his head, and upon seeing Zhu Minghui entering, he forced out a smile.


    Zhu Minghui reached out and pulled him up from the ground. The two of them were silent for a long time, and in the end, Shen Jiaming opened his mouth first, "Brother, accompany brother to go see the Fatty!"


    Zhu Minghui nodded, and did not say anything.


    Before the two of them went out, Shen Jiaming was worried about Sheng Jiuzhou. He called the newly arrived cleaning lady and asked her to help him cook lunch to take care of Sheng Jiuzhou.


    Seeing that Shen Jiaming had gone out, Sheng Jiuzhou did not pay much attention to him. Instead, he took the chance to find his own phone, and started to play with it happily.


    Shen Jiaming and Zhu Minghui drove the whole way, and the atmosphere inside the carriage was extremely quiet. Shen Jiaming sat in the front passenger seat with his eyes closed, not saying a word.


    Zhu Minghui saw that he did not say anything, and did not know what to say either.


    There, Shen Jiaming saw the Fatty''s tombstone.

 C50

    The Fatty''s tombstone was an ordinary marble tombstone. There were many words such as the Fatty''s name carved on it, and a picture of the Fatty.


    Fatty was laughing extremely happily in the photo. Because there were a lot of fat on his face, with his smile, his eyes became a slit, and he couldn''t see what was inside.


    After Shen Jiaming arranged the fresh fruits and tributes that he brought, he was silent for a long time before asking, "Where exactly did Fatty go?"


    Zhu Minghui usually had a good relationship with the Fatty and Shen Jiaming. In the past, everyone had played together. He said: "It''s the last time you two made an appointment to go climb the mountain. The two of you were a car, and when the car was halfway up the mountain road, it glanced at us. When we were falling down the cliff, Fatty was directly thrown out of the car, his body smashed onto the road, and he immediately ¡­"


    Shen Jiaming''s snot and tears once again flowed out. He did not care about his own image, and directly laid on the ground, wailing and crying.


    He said, "It''s my fault, it''s my fault, it''s all my fault! It was I who proposed to go climb the mountain. I was the one who wanted to switch seats with the Fatty, so we didn''t wear our seat belts back then. It was me, it was all me ¡­ It''s all my fault! Fatty, why did I not die, why!? "


    "Brother Shen, you can''t blame yourself like this!" Zhu Minghui felt his heart ache for Shen Jiaming. He knew that the accident occurred because of the car, and it was not Shen Jiaming''s fault. Shen Jiaming was now extremely hurt, and had taken all the responsibility on himself.


    After Shen Jiaming cried, she leaned on the Fatty''s tombstone, unwilling to part with it.


    Zhu Minghui had no way to persuade him, so she could only squat beside him and continue to accompany him.


    Shen Jiaming raised his head, looked at the densely packed stone tablets, and suddenly sighed: "It''s good that I can stay here forever."


    "Brother Shen, don''t speak nonsense! How can this be a place where people live? " Zhu Minghui knew that Shen Jiaming was in a mess and would only spout nonsense. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to say that he could see ghosts.


    Just as he was thinking, Shen Jiaming suddenly opened his mouth and asked with a slightly doubtful tone, "What day is it today? Is it a ghost festival or something? Why are there so many people in the cemetery!? "


    "Brother Shen, you must be talking nonsense!" Zhu Minghui suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body.


    In this huge cemetery, he looked around. Other than the old man who was guarding the gate, there were only himself and Shen Jiaming. Where did all these people come from? How can you speak nonsense in a cemetery like this!


    He turned his head to look at Shen Jiaming, only to see Shen Jiaming tilting his head, and looking at the tombstone beside the Fatty''s tombstone. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Shen Jiaming opening his mouth, "Great sir, who are you here to see?"


    Zhu Minghui was so frightened that he spat in his throat and kept on coughing. He thought about the empty stone road and was shocked to the point that he couldn''t say a word.


    He felt that Shen Jiaming had gone mad. There was clearly no one in front of him, but he could actually say that he saw someone, and even talk to them.


    The old man slowly turned his head and looked towards Shen Jiaming. He opened his mouth but there was not a single tooth inside. He opened his mouth for a long time, but in the end, nothing came out. When Shen Jiaming wanted to speak again, the old man had already disappeared.


    Seeing that it was getting late, Zhu Minghui decided to leave with Shen Jiaming. Shen Jiaming touched the Fatty''s tombstone, unwilling to part with it.


    Zhu Minghui said: "Brother Shen, when we have time, we will often come over to accompany you. You don''t look too good today, let''s go back first."


    Although Shen Jiaming was sad and sad, he was still rational in the end. He nodded and followed Zhu Minghui.


    On the way to the entrance of the cemetery, Shen Jiaming met many people. Zhu Minghui followed behind him, and saw that he was swaying left and right, swaying right after left and right. Even if he wasn''t walking in a straight line, he didn''t know what was wrong with him, so he could only extend his hand to support him.


    Shen Jiaming was supported by Zhu Minghui, she thanked him and reminded him, "Zhu Minghui, move to the left side, there is an old lady beside you."


    Zhu Minghui''s entire body froze, he held onto Shen Jiaming and did not move. Zhu Minghui tilted his head and asked, "Brother Shen, you said that I have an aunt by my side?"


    Shen Jiaming nodded his head, and the old lady beside Zhu Minghui continued to smile at him.


    Zhu Minghui could not laugh at all. With a sullen face, he asked Shen Jiaming in despair, "Brother Shen, what does that aunt look like?"


    "The aunty is in her fifties with short hair and black hair. She''s smiling at us the entire time. She looks energetic, but her lips are a little purple. I don''t know what''s going on ¡­" As he was speaking, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. His eyes were fixed on a tombstone in front of him.


    Zhu Minghui was about to cry and shouted, "Brother Shen, I''m timid, don''t scare me, you can''t scare me just by looking at the tombstone''s photo!"


    Shen Jiaming was completely awake now. What cemetery would have so many people in broad daylight?


    It wasn''t a weekend, nor was it a bright, July fifteenth, or October first. Which family member of the deceased would come to the cemetery at the same time?


    Therefore, what he saw was not the family of the deceased, but the deceased himself!


    Because he could see ghosts!


    No wonder Zhu Minghui had previously said that there was no one in the cemetery, and no one to hide while walking, just like him. It was because he couldn''t see Zhu Minghui at all.


    Shen Jiaming thought about how he could see ghosts. He let go of Zhu Minghui and ran back to the Fatty''s tombstone. Zhu Minghui was baffled by Shen Jiaming''s sudden action, and could only follow him back to the Fatty''s tombstone.


    Shen Jiaming stood in front of Fatty''s tombstone and slowly said: "Fatty, I can see you. Why don''t you come out and meet me!"


    The moment he said that, Zhu Minghui became stupefied. He felt that Brother Shen was already very sick and it was extremely serious. He needed to see a doctor.


    No matter how Shen Jiaming shouted, the Fatty did not appear. It even attracted the surrounding ghosts to look towards Shen Jiaming.


    In the end, Shen Jiaming had no choice but to open the tomb.


    As he sat in the car, Zhu Minghui didn''t start the car even after a long time. He suddenly opened his mouth and asked Shen Jiaming, "Brother Shen, are you for real ¡­ Can you really see ghosts? "


    Zhu Minghui had always thought that it was just his imagination, so how could ghosts exist in this world? In the ten million years of humanity''s evolution, how many people had died on Earth? If there really were ghosts, then wouldn''t their living space be occupied by ghosts?


    Shen Jiaming did not know what Zhu Minghui was thinking, he lowered his head, although his answer was a little powerless, but he was very sure, "I can really see ghosts."

 C51

    Zhu Minghui felt that he needed to re-understand this world.


    From the time he was born to the time he grew up, from kindergarten to graduate school, everyone had told him that there were no ghosts in this world. Everyone had told him that the stories of demons and devils were all ancient legends and could not be believed.


    However, his best bro today had actually told him that he could see ghosts.


    Zhu Minghui felt that he was about to turn stupid.


    However, he also felt that Shen Jiaming might not have lied, because Shen Jiaming herself seemed to have just realized that he could see ghosts. There was no need for him to lie to these good guys about this.


    He asked him, "Brother Shen, when did you see the ghost?"


    "After I escaped from the clutches of death." Shen Jiaming replied concisely as he sat in the car.


    Zhu Minghui was also slightly shaken now. He knew that perhaps Shen Jiaming was not lying. There really is a ghost in the world of blood circulation. But Shen Jiaming was not an illusion, he could really see it.


    "Brother Shen, you said before that you came back, and that Brother Fatty drove here to pick you up?"


    Shen Jiaming nodded, and said it was him.


    Zhu Minghui couldn''t help but frown. His hand unconsciously held tightly onto the steering wheel as he asked again, "Then, Brother Shen, how many times have you seen Brother Fatty?"


    "Mn," Shen Jiaming recalled carefully. "Last time, when I came back, when you all came over to look for me, I saw Fatty following behind you all. "At that time, the situation was very chaotic, and I didn''t pay much attention to what happened ¡­"


    Zhu Minghui was also present at that time, and the situation was indeed chaotic. What Qin Feifei and You Lilin did was not a human matter, as brothers, they all felt that it was too embarrassing.


    Shen Jiaming continued, "Later on, I brought my sister out to dinner once. It was Ah Jiu. You Lilin went to the restaurant that we brothers frequent, to buy takeout for Qin Feifei, Fatty following by his side. When You Lilin and I met, the atmosphere was very awkward, so I didn''t greet Fatty. There was also one time when Qin Feifei came to my house to cause trouble. I called You Lilin and had him come to pick someone up. A few days ago, when I went out to do some work, I saw the Fatty and You Lilin walking together on the sidewalk ¡­ "


    Zhu Minghui thought it was weird the more he heard about it. He, Shen Jiaming, Fatty and You Lilin were good buddies that played together, but there were some that were not close to each other. Although his relationship with the Fatty was not as good as that of the Fatty and Shen Jiaming, it was definitely better than that. If the Fatty really became a ghost, and he could not find Shen Jiaming to follow, he should not have followed You Lilin either! He remembered clearly that although the Fatty was an honest and straightforward person, who was normally a good person, and had a good relationship with anyone, he only liked to be with the people he liked and would never go find the people he disliked.


    Hearing Shen Jiaming''s explanation, Zhu Minghui hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Brother Shen, did you notice that other than the first time Fatty came to pick you up, when you saw Fatty, You Lilin was by his side?"


    Recently, Shen Jiaming had been in a bit of a panic and couldn''t even think about these things. When he suddenly heard You Lilin''s words, he was stunned. That''s right, it seemed to be the case. The Fatty followed You Lilin every single time!


    Zhu Minghui frowned, he did not understand, "I remember that the relationship between Brother Fatty and You Lilin is very normal, why would he follow You Lilin?"


    Shen Jiaming shook his head. He didn''t know why Fatty would follow him, but he actually hoped that Fatty would follow him.


    Zhu Minghui saw that Shen Jiaming''s condition was not very good, and did not dare to probe further, and drove him home.


    He stopped his car at the entrance of Shen Jiaming''s compound, and was a little worried about Shen Jiaming, "Brother Shen, let me send you up."


    Shen Jiaming waved his hand and shook his head: "No need, you can go back first, I can handle it myself."


    "Brother Shen, I will help you ask if there is anyone who understands this aspect, although those friends of mine are all bluffing and do not understand this. However, don''t worry Brother Shen, they are a bunch of hoodlums after all, so they will definitely have some connections. Just wait for me to believe you, I will definitely be able to help you find someone with ability to come and help you. "


    After bidding farewell to Zhu Minghui, Shen Jiaming entered the elevator and pressed on the floor. The elevator door slowly closed, and just as it closed, a shadow suddenly squeezed through the gap between the doors.


    Ah!" Shen Jiaming was immediately frightened to the point of screaming. He focused his eyes and saw that the person who squeezed in was none other than the little boy who had disappeared for several days.


    The little boy raised his head and looked at him with a smile. The elevator door had already been closed and was slowly moving.


    Shen Jiaming finally saw the little boy and asked anxiously, "Where have you been these past few days?"


    The little boy suddenly stopped smiling and said softly, "Your big sister is too fierce, I can''t get close to you."


    Shen Jiaming was confused, "What? What big sister? "


    He thought for a long time, but still couldn''t think of anything in his house that could repel demons. He was still thinking of asking the masters to draw some runes or something like that when Zhu Minghui finds those masters who have passed the examination for him.


    The little boy did not directly answer Shen Jiaming, but continued, "It''s a scary thing, a very scary thing. I can''t get close to it ¡­"


    Then, his tone changed as he questioned Shen Jiaming, "Are the things you''ve said counted?"


    Shen Jiaming was startled, and did not have time to reply.


    The little boy''s body began to emit a black aura, and the expression on the little boy''s face became even more ferocious, as if he could explode at any time.


    Shen Jiaming was very afraid of this kind of boy. Even if he didn''t understand this kind of thing called ghosts, the ball of black smoke definitely wasn''t anything good.


    He said, "Calm down, I will do what I promised. "I''ve already asked the real estate agent, but he doesn''t seem to have a clue about you. Can you provide me with information so that I know exactly how I can help you?"


    "My home is here!"


    "Ding!" The elevator reached the 20th floor, which was Shen Jiaming''s floor. The little boy in the elevator instantly disappeared.


    Shen Jiaming, who was left in the elevator, couldn''t think straight. He broke out in a cold sweat as he could feel the black aura that was being emitted from the little boy''s body when he said his last sentence.


    He didn''t know what this meant to ghosts, but to him, something terrifying was about to happen.

 C52

    Shen Jiaming was affected by the black Qi on the little boy''s body. Inside the elevator car, he didn''t recover for a long time, until the elevator door closed once again.


    The moment he stepped out of the elevator, someone suddenly rushed towards him. "Jia Ming, Jia Ming, you''re finally back!"


    Shen Jiaming subconsciously dodged, causing the lady to fall to the ground. Her face was pale white, without a trace of blood.


    In the end, he did not have the heart to let her fall to the ground. He reached out to help her up and asked: "Qin Feifei, what happened to you? What are you looking for me for again? "


    Qin Feifei''s face was completely drained of blood, but hearing that Shen Jiaming was talking to her with such concern, she immediately revealed a smile and pulled on his hand, anxiously saying: "Jia Ming, Jia Ming, I have already destroyed my child, I have already proposed to divorce You Lilin! Jia Ming, I can return to your side soon, wait for me, I can return to your side now! "


    Shen Jiaming was shocked, he suspected that he misheard, Qin Feifei actually destroyed the child?!


    Seeing that Shen Jiaming did not believe him, Qin Feifei quickly let go of him and took out a bunch of medical documents from his bag.


    "Jia Ming, look, these are the documents for me to do away with your child. I''m not lying to you, I don''t have a child, I don''t have a child from You Lilin anymore, I''m clean now, I can stay together with you now. I beg you, please let me stay together with you!" Qin Feifei cried her heart out. She was risking everything on this, she had to save Shen Jiaming.


    Shen Jiaming never thought that Qin Feifei would actually be able to do such a thing. He shook his head and said to her decisively: "Qin Feifei, what are you doing? Do you understand that it is already impossible for us to be together? It''s hard to collect water, do you understand! Do you think the only problem between us is the child''s? Have you ever thought about it! "


    After he spoke for a while, he no longer wanted to waste his breath on Qin Feifei. Then, he took out his phone and dialed You Lilin''s number.


    Qin Feifei saw Shen Jiaming taking out his phone, and pounced on him without caring about anything else, holding onto his phone and shouting, "Jia Ming, Jia Ming, I beg you, don''t look for him, this is a problem between us, don''t look for anyone else, okay!"


    Shen Jiaming felt that he wouldn''t be able to explain it clearly to Qin Feifei, it was just a matter of them being together. You Lilin was her husband and not an outsider.


    Shen Jiaming did not want to shoulder such a responsibility. No matter how Qin Feifei blocked him, he told You Lilin about the situation.


    On the other side of the phone, when You Lilin heard that his child had been beaten away, he was stunned and was unable to recover from his shock.


    Shen Jiaming did not care how he thought about it, nor did he care if he received a blow, and directly told him, "You Lilin, hurry up and come over here.


    Qin Feifei was still crying loudly, holding onto Shen Jiaming and not letting him go. She cried and said: "Jia Ming, Jia Ming, can you not forgive me? You forgive me, we can go back to the old days, we can continue the sweet and beautiful life! Jia Ming, can''t you forgive me? What kind of mistake did I make that made you unable to forgive me! Why must you go and find You Lilin! He''s an outsider to us, do you understand? He''s an outsider, what''s the use of him coming over! "


    "Qin Feifei, clear your mind, he is a legal husband, to you, I am a genuine outsider!"


    Shen Jiaming was already completely exhausted from the little boy and the Fatty''s matter, and now, he even more so didn''t have the leisure to care about Qin Feifei. He only stood in the corridor with her and accompanied her over.


    Qin Feifei cried and begged and cried, but he still couldn''t make Shen Jiaming''s heart soften. In the end, he sat on the ground and hysterically shouted, "Shen Jiaming, you heartless man, didn''t you abandon me because of that woman?! She''s younger and prettier than I am, and you want to abandon me. You''re going too far! You heartless, you heartless... You''re really going too far! "


    She scolded enough, but ignored it and crawled over, hugging Shen Jiaming''s leg, begging him: "Jia Ming, Jia Ming, I was just blabbering nonsense, don''t take it as the truth! I know, you didn''t abandon me on purpose. There must be a reason for it. Jia Ming, I can keep one eye open, as long as you are willing to be with me, I will not stop any communication between you two! "


    "Qin Feifei, am I the one who let you down? Or am I letting you down? Can you figure it out for yourself? I don''t want to waste my breath with you, I''ll tell your husband when he comes. " Shen Jiaming felt that Qin Feifei had really gone mad, spouting nonsense. What kind of woman was she talking about?


    Qin Feifei was still unrelenting as he cried out loudly, "I knew it, I knew it! You didn''t want me anymore, it''s all because of that little vixen! Okay, you don''t want me, do you? Then I shall perish together with that little vixen! "


    Then, she suddenly stood up from the ground. Shen Jiaming''s anti-theft door rushed over and shouted, "You little vixen, you shamelessly hooked up with a man. Come out, come out ¡­"


    Seeing that, Shen Jiaming finally understood who the woman Qin Feifei was referring to, was actually Sheng Jiuzhou!


    This was utter nonsense!


    Qin Feifei had just finished her mini operation, so she ran over to find Shen Jiaming without caring about anything else. After tormenting and crying for a while, Shen Jiaming did not have a single ounce of mercy towards her, so she started to play with the women in the house.


    She knew that there was a woman in Shen Jiaming''s house! She wanted Shen Jiaming to be embarrassed, she wanted to force Shen Jiaming to get back together with her!


    In the years that Shen Jiaming had been together with her, she had always shown a gentle and lovely side to Shen Jiaming. She had occasionally acted coquettishly and had a few small quarrels, but he had never seen her pestering like this.


    Shen Jiaming was very angry, she could not help but bellowed: "Qin Feifei, you''re enough!"


    Qin Feifei''s body froze. In all the years they were together, Shen Jiaming had never gotten so angry at her.


    She slammed the door and slowly turned her head, her face filled with tears as she looked at Shen Jiaming and wailed for him, "Jia Ming, Jia Ming ¡­"


    Shen Jiaming turned his head, not wanting to care about her.


    Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly saw that there was a black aura wrapped around Qin Feifei''s lower abdomen area!


    That black aura was extremely dense, and like a belt, it wrapped around Qin Feifei''s waist, making it extremely obvious ¡­

 C53

    The ball of black Qi outside Qin Feifei''s jacket flickered between light and darkness. When it was clear, it looked like a black leather belt, but when it dimmed, it was barely visible.


    Shen Jiaming did not know what it was, he just stood there motionlessly, staring at the change in it.


    Seeing that Shen Jiaming had finally turned his head to look at her, Qin Feifei was overjoyed. He did not bother to knock on the door anymore, and rushed towards Shen Jiaming.


    Shen Jiaming was shocked, he immediately took a step back and shouted, "Qin Feifei, what are you doing!"


    "Jia Ming, Jia Ming... I know you''re looking at me, but look at me. You''re definitely unwilling to part with me, aren''t you? Jia Ming, let''s be together. We were obviously able to be together ¡­ "


    As she shouted, Shen Jiaming clearly noticed that the ball of black aura on her body grew deeper and deeper, to the point that it seemed to be ready to move at any moment.


    Shen Jiaming didn''t know what it was, but he noticed that the ball of black aura seemed to change according to Qin Feifei''s mood. As long as Qin Feifei was slightly agitated, the ball of black aura would wait until it became deeper and more obvious.


    He was still in a daze, but Qin Feifei was already crying. She really did not give up.


    "Jia Ming, Jia Ming, why, why, why didn''t you want me anymore, what did I do wrong? I just got so upset when I heard something happened to you that I didn''t know why it was like this. Let''s go back to the old days, let''s just pretend like nothing happened, okay? I beg you, Jia Ming, I beg you, Jia Ming ¡­ "


    "Ding", the elevator door opened, and You Lilin ran out.


    The moment he ran out, he heard Qin Feifei plead for Shen Jiaming with almost no dignity at all. He immediately frowned and ran towards Qin Feifei without even bothering to greet him.


    "Fei Fei, quickly get up. The ground is cold, how can you endure this? Even if you don''t think for yourself, think for the child in your womb! "


    Right now, the person Qin Feifei didn''t want to see the most was You Lilin. She had thought about it, if she did not have a drunk personality, and You Lilin had a relationship with her and their child, wouldn''t she have ended up like this? Shen Jiaming would never abandon her!


    She pushed You Lilin away crazily and laughed out loud. She pointed at her stomach and shouted, "There''s no more children! No more children! I''ve done it! He had done it cleanly, leaving nothing behind! You Lilin, you can go now. We won''t have any relations in the future! I''m going to pursue the people I love ¡­ "


    Hearing Qin Feifei say that he had killed the child, You Lilin froze in place. He stared at Qin Feifei in disbelief, and asked again, as if he couldn''t believe it, "Qin Feifei, what did you say just now? Our children are gone? "


    Qin Feifei''s face had a smile on it, it was a smile of satisfaction, but she held up all the hospital bills that she had showed to Shen Jiaming previously, holding them in front of You Lilin and screaming: "Look! This is the proof, this is the proof that I made of the child! I am a clean person now, I, Qin Feifei have nothing to do with you anymore! I don''t want to have anything to do with you anymore! "Leave, leave ¡­"


    Shen Jiaming stood there blankly, staring intently at the black Qi around Qin Feifei''s waist. He could see with his naked eye that the ball of black Qi was actually growing larger and larger, from being indistinct to being as wide as a belt, it slowly spread out to both sides, forming a black film that was about to wrap around Qin Feifei.


    However, Qin Feifei and You Lilin, who were in a confrontation, were completely unaware and simply could not see the black aura on Qin Feifei''s body.


    Shen Jiaming knew that the ball of black Qi was probably the same as the little boy''s spirit, something that could not be said ¡­ ¡­


    He suddenly felt bored as he looked at the couple in front of him who were quarreling intensely, and then looked at the ball of black energy on Qin Feifei''s body.


    Shen Jiaming suddenly thought that it was a tragic self-deception for humans to not be able to deny the existence of some things.


    Just like the current Qin Feifei, who was baring his fangs and brandishing his claws at the silent You Lilin, he did not have a single trace of his original gentle appearance. However, she thought she had the upper hand, but she didn''t know she was being held back by something she couldn''t see.


    Shen Jiaming could not bear to continue listening to them, he did not want to care about them anymore, so he stepped over the two people who were arguing and pressed on the password to his home.


    Seeing that Shen Jiaming was about to leave, Qin Feifei did not have time to argue with him, and directly pounced towards Shen Jiaming, shouting: "Jia Ming, Jia Ming ¡­ "Don''t go ¡­"


    "Qin Feifei, stop, don''t come over!"


    When Shen Jiaming raised his head, he saw Qin Feifei, who was wrapped in black Qi, pouncing towards him. Instinctively, he took a step back, intending to avoid the ball of black Qi with an unknown origin.


    He glanced at Qin Feifei, and kindly gave her his last piece of advice, "Qin Feifei, I suggest you to find some great masters that know magic. You might have gotten entangled by something."


    After he finished speaking, the silent You Lilin suddenly stiffened, and turned her head warily to look at her surroundings.


    From Qin Feifei''s body, the Shen family''s gaze suddenly fell behind You Lilin. He suddenly froze, and looked towards You Lilin''s back in disbelief.


    It''s the Fatty!


    Only a small distance away from You Lilin''s back, Fatty stood there motionless, his eyes unmoving as he stared at the back of You Lilin''s neck.


    You Lilin turned around and looked at his surroundings a few times, but his gaze did not stop on Fatty''s body. In the end, only after confirming that there was nothing by his side did he turn around to look at Qin Feifei and Shen Jiaming.


    When he raised his head, his eyes met with Shen Jiaming''s gaze.


    Because Shen Jiaming''s eyes were filled with shock, You Lilin couldn''t help but shiver and call out to him, "Brother Shen."


    Shen Jiaming''s gaze was always on Fatty. He looked at him for so long that he did not even raise his head to look at him.


    A Fatty like this, the Fatty he had met a few times before, was completely different. He didn''t know if it was his intuition, but Shen Jiaming felt that the Fatty seemed to no longer have any consciousness, and seemed to be only interested in You Lilin.


    Just as he was about to call out to the Fatty, the door behind him suddenly opened. Sheng Jiuzhou stood at the entrance.


    The moment she appeared, the Fatty instantly disappeared as the ball of black aura on Qin Feifei''s body also disappeared without a trace ¡­

 C54

    The moment Sheng Jiuzhou appeared, the lump of black fog on his and Fatty''s bodies disappeared without a trace, without even a trace.


    Before Shen Jiaming even had the chance to be surprised, Qin Feifei, who was pestering You Lilin, suddenly stopped and rushed towards him.


    Sheng Jiuzhou was standing at the door, not dodging or dodging, and was immediately hit by Qin Feifei.


    Qin Feifei scolded Sheng Jiuzhou loudly, "It''s you! It''s you! You were the one who snatched Shen Jiaming away, right? You shameless fox spirit, return Shen Jiaming to me! You fox spirit, you shameless fox spirit, give Shen Jiaming back to me ¡­ "


    Because of the sudden disappearance of the Fatty, Shen Jiaming was startled, he did not expect that in such a short span of time, he would actually give Qin Feifei the chance to pounce in front of Sheng Jiuzhou.


    Shen Jiaming anxiously tried to pull Qin Feifei back, but suddenly he felt a sharp pain on the back of his hand, as if a woman''s fingernails had cut his hand. He subconsciously shook his hands and looked down at the back of his hand. It was completely undamaged. There were no injuries at all.


    He felt that it might be an illusion, so he didn''t care much about it and directly stood between Qin Feifei and the two of them.


    At that moment, Shen Jiaming was unable to bear Qin Feifei''s pestering, and his temper rose, as he roared at her: "Qin Feifei, are you done yet? Don''t you know what''s going on between us? You Lilin, come over here and bring your wife home, don''t let her go crazy at my doorstep! "


    After he scolded Qin Feifei, he turned to look at Sheng Jiuzhou, afraid that she would be bullied by him. When he turned his head, he saw Sheng Jiuzhou''s bloody back of his hand. The blood on the back of her hand flowed out, and even a few drops of it fell to the ground.


    Shen Jiaming was shocked, she anxiously grabbed onto Sheng Jiuzhou''s wrist and asked worriedly: "Ah Jiu? Are you hurt? Why aren''t you saying anything? "


    Seeing that Sheng Jiuzhou was injured, Shen Jiaming''s anger immediately rose. He pointed at Qin Feifei and gave him the last warning, "Qin Feifei, from now on, don''t ever appear in front of me again. I don''t want to see you again!"


    After saying that, Shen Jiaming brought Sheng Jiuzhou directly into the room. "Peng", he closed the anti-theft door, and locked the couple that could make a ruckus outside.


    Shen Jiaming pulled Sheng Jiuzhou in front of the sofa and made her sit down. Then, he jogged all the way, hurriedly bringing over the medicine box. He knelt on one knee on the floor, carefully applying the medicine for Sheng Jiuzhou.


    The back of her hand was cut a few times by Qin Feifei''s sharp nails. Seeing these wounds, Shen Jiaming''s heart ached, he hated Qin Feifei for being so ruthless. As he drugged her, he felt the back of his hand begin to ache with her.


    He felt the same way and couldn''t help but coax Sheng Jiuzhou softly, "Ah Jiu, does it hurt? Just bear with it for a bit, wait until big bro finishes applying the medicine for you, then it''ll stop hurting. Be good. "


    "It doesn''t hurt." Sheng Jiuzhou replied coldly.


    The calmer she was, the more Shen Jiaming''s heart ached. When he looked at the wound on the back of her hand, he could feel the back of his hand hurting as well. She didn''t change her expression at all, as if the hand wasn''t hers.


    As Shen Jiaming applied the medicine, he lectured her, "Ah Jiu, why are you so stupid? Seeing Qin Feifei rushing towards you, won''t you dodge? The next time we encounter something like this, remember to hide, do you hear me? Or you can just directly hit him back, since you are my, Shen Jiaming''s, sister, you can''t possibly be at a disadvantage, don''t be afraid that something might happen, your brother will protect you. "


    He lowered his head and drugged her, chattering on and on, all of it exhorting her. Sheng Jiuzhou sat on the sofa and didn''t move an inch. His gaze was fixated on Shen Jiaming''s body the entire time.


    After drugging Sheng Jiuzhou, she went back to play mobile games. Shen Jiaming shouted a few times to stop her from playing, she did not listen to him at all.


    Shen Jiaming knew that he couldn''t control Sheng Jiuzhou, and because she had suffered today, he didn''t force her and went with her.


    When he went to cook, he always felt a burning pain on the back of his hand. He looked at it several times, but didn''t see any wounds. He gritted his teeth and shook his hand, wanting to ignore the pain, but the pain only grew stronger.


    After dinner, Shen Jiaming drugged Sheng Jiuzhou''s hand again and discovered that the wound on the back of her hand had not healed well. It was actually a little swollen.


    He was extremely worried, and when he packed the medicine box, he said to, "Ah Jiu, if your injuries are still not good tomorrow, I will bring you to the hospital."


    Sheng Jiuzhou lowered his head, played with his mobile, ignored Shen Jiaming, and looked like he was fine. On the other hand, the back of Shen Jiaming''s hand was hurting more and more. When he had just finished his meal, there was a moment of pain that nearly made him throw away the chopsticks in his hand.


    In the middle of the night, he was woken up by an inexplicable pain in the back of his hand. The pain made him unable to sleep.


    He laid on his bed and thought back to everything that had happened today. He thought about the little boy who had disappeared for several days, and also thought about the obviously abnormal Fatty.


    He could not understand why Fatty would always follow behind You Lilin the past few times he had seen him. In the past few times, Fatty seemed to have met his gaze. He nodded his head many times, why did Fatty ignore him today?


    When Shen Jiaming moved, he was in so much pain that he couldn''t fall asleep, and now, he was even more so unable to sleep.


    In the end, he still felt that he would call Zhu Minghui first thing in the morning and urge him again about finding a Grandmaster. He was still thinking, if this master was truly reliable, then he would give You Lilin a call. After all, that thing looked to be nothing good, if he continued to let that thing haunt Qin Feifei, it would not be a good thing.


    That night, the pain on the back of his hand inexplicably did not improve at all. It even became more and more painful. The next morning, his hand hurt so much that even brushing his own teeth became a problem.


    After he washed up, he went to see Sheng Jiuzhou and discovered that the back of her injured hand had actually swelled up really high. He was shocked, and could not care about the pain in the back of his hand, much less whether or not he ate breakfast, and directly dragged Sheng Jiuzhou to the hospital.


    As he drove, he felt a bit flustered and panicked. He didn''t expect things to turn out like this.


    He originally thought that Sheng Jiuzhou had only scratched the back of his hand with his nails, but he never thought that it would become so swollen. If he knew that this would happen, he would have brought her to the hospital yesterday.

 C55

    As Shen Jiaming drove, he asked Sheng Jiuzhou, "Ah Jiu, does it hurt? This wound is so swollen, why don''t you just keep quiet! What if something happens to you? "


    Sheng Jiuzhou felt that something was off. She sat in the front seat and looked down at the back of her hand. She even found it interesting, poking her finger at the back of her hand, which was swollen like a steamed bun.


    As Shen Jiaming was driving, he suddenly felt that his hand, which was originally in pain, had been stabbed by something.


    When Sheng Jiuzhou heard his miserable scream, he silently retracted his hand. He put down both hands and stopped stabbing his injured arm.


    Shen Jiaming was driving when he did not notice Sheng Jiuzhou''s movements. He only wholeheartedly headed to the hospital.


    He stopped the car and led Sheng Jiuzhou to the hospital''s lobby. He frowned and grumbled, "Why are there so many people in this hospital? There are so many people squeezed together and there aren''t even any corridors that can squeeze through."


    An old man by the side walked forward with a trembling body. Hearing Shen Jiaming''s words, he looked at him weirdly, then shook his head and slowly walked away.


    Shen Jiaming watched as this old man walked forward without anyone noticing, and was about to bump into someone he didn''t know. Shen Jiaming could not help but shout out, "Old man, you have to look for the road to run into someone!"


    As he shouted, the people who were blocking his way all turned to look at him, then stepped aside to make way for him.


    The great man didn''t even turn around to look at Shen Jiaming as he continued to use his walking stick to walk slowly to the elevator. After he got on the elevator, he complained to a few other people he did not know, "Just now, in the lobby of the hospital''s first floor, I met a lunatic. There was clearly no one in the lobby on the first floor, but he said it was all people and reminded me not to bump into anyone. "It''s such a pity, he''s still so young, but his brain isn''t working properly. His family has suffered so much. What should we do in the future?"


    Someone started a conversation with the lord and jokingly said, "The guy you''re talking about, did he come to the wrong hospital? He might have gone to a mental hospital, but he accidentally went wrong ¡­ "


    "Hahaha ¡­" Everyone in the same elevator laughed.


    In a place where they couldn''t see, many figures weren''t laughing, or rather, they were simply expressionless.


    Shen Jiaming brought Sheng Jiuzhou and squeezed together for a long time. Finally, they arrived at the entrance of the elevator. He realised that there were so many people at the entrance of the elevator, and felt a little hopeless. He pulled Sheng Jiuzhou along and complained, "I never thought that the hospital would have so many people today!"


    Still, he was lucky. When the elevator stopped on the first floor, many people were waiting for it, but none of them took a seat. Seeing that they were not sitting, Shen Jiaming did not hold back and directly brought Sheng Jiuzhou to the elevator.


    The elevator doors slowly closed. He could vaguely hear many voices outside the elevator. The voices were filled with panic, as if they had just survived a disaster.


    "What was that just now? It''s so scary, I didn''t even dare to move an inch! "


    "Terrifying. Fortunately, we didn''t become food ¡­"


    "¡­"


    Shen Jiaming brought Sheng Jiuzhou and bandaged him up. At the side, he asked the doctor in worry, "Doctor, Doctor, how could my sister''s hand be so swollen? I tried medicine on her yesterday according to the usual nursing knowledge, but I didn''t expect it to get worse today. "What''s going on?"


    After the doctor finished bandaging Sheng Jiuzhou, he said to Shen Jiaming: "We are also not too sure about the specific reason. It should be because your sister''s skin is sensitive to skin conditions. If you''re worried, I suggest your sister get another dose of tetanus. After all, the hand is badly swollen, and it doesn''t look too good. "


    Shen Jiaming looked at Sheng Jiuzhou''s hand that was swollen like a steamed bun and was completely panicking. Naturally, the doctor would tell him what to do, and Shen Jiaming quickly said, "Alright, alright, alright, I''ll take her to fight."


    He reached out his hands to help Sheng Jiuzhou, coaxing her, "Ah Jiu, let''s go get an injection.


    Sheng Jiuzhou stared at the back of his hand that was once again bandaged, and did not say a word.


    The doctor who bandaged her up praised the Shen family with a smile, "Although your little sister looks young, she is actually so strong. When she was applying the medicine, she didn''t make a sound. As for you, as an elder brother, you actually called out so many times from the side. It''s okay, this wound doesn''t look serious. It should be healed in two days. Remember to bring her here every day to change into medicine! "


    Shen Jiaming was in so much pain just now that his forehead was covered in a layer of sweat. He never expected himself to feel such pain just by looking at Sheng Jiuzhou being drugged. It truly wasn''t right.


    However, he didn''t have the mind to think about this question right now. The wound on the back of Sheng Jiuzhou''s hand had yet to heal.


    When Sheng Jiuzhou was having his acupuncture, Shen Jiaming was by his side. He was worried that she would hurt, so he kept on coaxing her, "Ah Jiu, don''t be afraid.


    The nurse by the side laughed and spoke to Sheng Jiuzhou, "Your brother is so nice to be worried about you." As she was speaking, she took the chance when Sheng Jiuzhou wasn''t paying attention to her and pierced the needle in Sheng Jiuzhou''s arm.


    Sheng Jiuzhou did not react at all. He didn''t even have a frown on his face. Shen Jiaming, who was at the side, did not have any defenses and shouted out loud, scaring the nurse who was giving the shot.


    The nurse removed the needle from Sheng Jiuzhou''s arm quickly and glared at him unhappily, criticizing him: "You''re a man, what are you suddenly called? You want to learn from your little sister? Look at how calm your little sister is. You''re already so old, but you can''t even compare to a twenty year old little girl.


    Shen Jiaming felt that his forehead was covered in sweat. In that moment just now, he had truly felt the pain of a needle being pricked, the pain was exactly the same as where Sheng Jiuzhou''s forehead had been pricked. He even suspected that the needle did not pierce Sheng Jiuzhou''s body, but pierced his own body.


    Shen Jiaming rubbed his arm in pain, but when he saw that Sheng Jiuzhou who was pierced with the needles had no reaction at all, he did not feel any pain at all.


    When Sheng Jiuzhou was done, the doctor gave her some anti-inflammatory medicine so that she could eat some properly. Shen Jiaming paid the bill and carried the medicine. Only then did he feel at ease to bring Sheng Jiuzhou to the elevator and prepare to leave the hospital.


    As soon as they stepped onto the elevator, they heard a baby''s cry ¡­

 C56

    The elevator car was sealed, and at the moment, there was no one inside, only Shen Jiaming and Sheng Jiuzhou.


    The baby''s wailing was weak, but close, as if it were in the elevator.


    In the beginning, Shen Jiaming did not mind it too much. He knew there were obstetrics and gynecology downstairs, and paediatrics, and thought it might be a child crying outside. The sound came to him in the elevator.


    However, as the elevator car descended, Shen Jiaming felt that something was amiss. This was because the baby''s cry had been following them all along. It sounded like it came from inside the elevator.


    He turned around and looked around. The walls of the elevator were bare. Other than the hospital''s signboards, there was nothing else.


    Shen Jiaming looked around, and then suddenly understood. Immediately, he started sweating profusely. He had almost forgotten that he could see ghosts and talk to them. The sound of a baby crying so close to him did not come from the hospital. It should be the ghost of a dead child.


    From the sound of it, he thought, the child was still young. It could even be a newborn baby. The little life passed by just like that. Perhaps it was just like that little boy, because it was too young and it didn''t even realize that it was already dead. Besides, this baby might have just arrived in this world and hadn''t even had the chance to see the world.


    As Shen Jiaming thought about this, he suddenly felt sour in his heart. In the past, he was an ordinary person, so he couldn''t see these ghosts or hear their wails. He didn''t know that these people who turned into ghosts would actually linger in this world for various reasons.


    He did not know why they did not leave.


    The boy who always ran around in the stairwell made a ruckus because he didn''t even realize he was dead. When he realized that he was already dead, he wanted to find his home, so he had an unfulfilled wish in his heart.


    He could not understand why Fatty would follow him, and the feeling Fatty gave him was completely different from the feeling he had from that little boy. He did not know what kind of feeling he had, but it was a very bad feeling.


    As he was thinking, the elevator stopped and the doors opened. Two women walked in from outside of the elevator. One of them said, "It''s too pitiful, this is practically a sin. This child was only born two days ago, and he was actually abused to death by his own grandmother! Is this illegal? This is murder! "


    "Aiya, what are you worrying about? Even the mother and father of that dead child didn''t say a word! "If they don''t report it, just say that the child died a normal death and even extort the hospital from them. This is something that we can''t do anything about!"


    "That biological mother is simply crazy. The child that I painstakingly gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy, just because she was my daughter, she actually allowed my mother-in-law to torture the child to death without saying a word!" "What kind of mother is this?"


    Well, I heard she was a second child, and her first was a daughter in her teens." Before this, the family had always wanted a boy, but they didn''t dare violate the rules to have a baby. She had suffered greatly at home, and her father-in-law had even treated her badly. In addition, the country had opened up its second child policy. She wanted to have a son at a good time in exchange for the good treatment of her family. She didn''t expect that it would be another daughter. She couldn''t even be bothered to look at herself and her in-laws, who wholeheartedly wanted her grandson to be their grandson, was even more angry and unwilling. This was the reason why she gave birth to such a young life just moments ago ¡­ "Ai, what a sin. I don''t know what that child owed his family in his previous life, but he''s going to suffer so much ¡­


    While they were talking, Shen Jiaming was standing at the back of the elevator car, unmoving, his eyes completely red.


    Because he heard it. Every time the two women talked about it, the weak baby would cry loudly, as if it was trying its best to tell the two women that it was wronged and wanted them to hear her ¡­


    Shen Jiaming knew that this crying baby was the pitiful child that these two women were talking about, the child abandoned by his biological mother and his grandparents. Because every time they spoke a word of grievance to her, she was crying as hard as she could.


    Shen Jiaming rubbed his red eyes and could not help but ask the two women: "Big sister, what ward is this family that you are talking about?"


    The two women were talking excitedly when they were suddenly interrupted by Shen Jiaming. They were slightly unhappy and turned to look at him vigilantly, "What are you doing?"


    "Ah, I was just asking. There''s no other reason. Please tell me, two elder sisters." Shen Jiaming didn''t know why he suddenly opened his mouth. It was as if he was feeling indignant for that little infant.


    The two women looked at Shen Jiaming suspiciously for a long time before they told him the number of the ward they were staying. They said, "They are currently handling the discharge procedures, they probably will leave soon. The child''s corpse has already been handed over to the hospital ¡­ ¡­"


    Shen Jiaming thanked the two women and waited for the elevator to reach the first floor. He didn''t follow them out. He asked Sheng Jiuzhou, "Ah Jiu, I need to go upstairs to take care of some matters. Can you wait for me here?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou did not say anything, nor did he nod his head, but he was already walking out from the elevator. She turned her head and stood in the crowd to look at Shen Jiaming.


    Shen Jiaming smiled apologetically at her as he reached out to press the elevator button and the family member''s floor.


    He got out of the elevator, and the baby''s weak wail echoed in his ears. Shen Jiaming stood at the door of the sickroom, and inquired about the family''s name and the exact time of the child''s death. He took out his mobile phone and dialed 110 ¡­


    If no one in the world wanted justice for this child, at least the police could do it. Shen Jiaming said to the child soundlessly, "Uncle can only help you till here, I hope that you can do as you wish."


    Shen Jiaming took one last look at the family members in the ward and felt extremely disgusted. Without hesitation, he turned around and left.


    This time, he was alone in the elevator. There was no sound of a child crying, only silence, as if the cry had never existed.


    The poor baby, he thought, must have stayed where she was, waiting for someone to bring her justice.


    Shen Jiaming reached the first floor, got out of the elevator, and pulled Sheng Jiuzhou from the crowd to the main entrance of the hospital. He said to her: "I''m going to get the car, wait for me here."


    Sheng Jiuzhou nodded and did not say a word.


    Right after Shen Jiaming left, the surrounding area was filled with the sound of babies crying, it was both wronged and pitiful ¡­


    Sheng Jiuzhou stood at the entrance of the hospital and slowly said, "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, and you actually dare to cry in front of me?"


    When she finished, the crying continued, as if it wasn''t threatened by her at all.


    Sheng Jiuzhou sighed helplessly, and said: "Go, it''s not that this world is bad, but that the people you meet aren''t worth your nostalgia. If you have the chance to be reborn, remember, don''t ever meet another family like theirs again. "


    As soon as she said it, the baby stopped crying and the world went quiet.

 C57

    Not long after Shen Jiaming and Sheng Jiuzhou left, at the entrance of the hospital, a woman held onto her husband''s hand and said anxiously: "Old man, Old man, why do I hear that sounds like babies crying in my ears? Did the ghosts of the child I killed come find me to settle the score?"


    "What nonsense are you talking about? There are no ghosts in this world. Don''t scare yourself!" The daughter-in-law is going to leave the hospital, we still have to take that lost star who can''t give birth to a son home! It was originally such an unlucky thing, why are you still talking about it! "


    Old man, I didn''t mean to say this to a bad place. I''ve been having nightmares for the past two days, and I can''t sleep at all. I can only hear the sounds of a child crying. Say, what crime did our family commit?! More than ten years ago, there was a little girl who did not bring along a girl. Now, after finally getting a second child, she gave birth to such a damn girl! How unlucky. Not only did she take my grandson''s position, she even died in a bad mood. She actually dared to make me have nightmares about her. She''s a doomsday star like that, how did we get her into our family? "What bad luck!


    "Aiya, stop it. That unlucky star is upstairs in the hospital. Our words are not good for outsiders to hear! "After all, she just died and didn''t mess with us, so she''s still sensible. We''ll pretend to mess with her for two days straight. After we bring her back home, hmph, hmph ¡­"


    The woman also nodded her head, completely agreeing with her husband''s words. She chattered on, "Right, first coax our daughter-in-law before talking about anything else ¡­ Aiya, aiya, aiya ¡­ "


    "What is it, old woman?" The man was about to enter the hospital, but found that he couldn''t pull the old woman away no matter how hard he tried. He hastily turned his head and asked, "What happened? Why didn''t you leave?"


    Old man, it''s not that I''m not leaving, it''s just that my ears hurt too much. I don''t know what''s going on. Ahh ¡­ why do I feel like the crying sounds of children are getting louder and louder? It''s like ¡­


    "Wa, wa, wa ¡­"


    "What''s wrong? "Old granny, what''s going on?"


    "Wa, wa, wa ¡­"


    "Old man, can''t you hear me? She seems to be in my ears, and I can even feel her crawling! "


    "What nonsense are you spouting!" "Don''t speak nonsense, don''t speak carelessly ¡­"


    "Wa, wa, wa ¡­"


    Ah ah ah ah, she''s in my ears, in my ears...


    The woman was tortured by the voice in her ears, and started going crazy in the hospital hall regardless of what she heard. Her husband also didn''t know what had happened to her, so he could only hold her hand and stop her from running around.


    She ran and ran, and for some reason, she shook off her husband''s hand and rushed to the front door of the hospital.


    Her husband jumped and instinctively ran after her, just as a car came in from outside and was about to crash into the woman. That woman''s husband, regardless of everything, pushed the woman out and got crushed under the car ¡­


    "Old man, old man, how can you just leave like this? How can you leave me alone! How can you just die like that? "


    Seeing her husband lying in a pool of blood, the woman finally woke up. What did she do just now? What did she do!?


    As she was crying, several uniformed police officers walked over and asked her, "Are you Li Xianghua?"


    The woman nodded.


    The policeman said, "Li Xianghua, if you are suspected of intentionally killing someone, please come with us and cooperate with the investigation."


    Li Xianghua jumped in fright and shouted in panic, "I killed someone? I kill? Who did I kill? Who did I kill? "


    "You are suspected of murdering your granddaughter, who was born two days ago. Please come with us and cooperate with the investigation!"


    Li Xiang Hua took a step back, dodging the policemen by a far distance, frantically trying to defend himself, "I didn''t kill anyone! I didn''t kill anyone! She was just a child, what kind of person was she?! If I knew she was a girl, I wouldn''t even let her be born ¡­ What does her death have to do with me ¡­ "She deserved it, deserved to die!"


    She seemed to have thought of something and suddenly shouted, "Right, right, right, that''s her, that''s the girl who''s always been wronged. It''s she, that''s the one who''s been crying non-stop in my ears, that''s why I ran out, almost got hit by a car, that''s why my husband came to save me ¡­ Only then... It''s all because of her, it''s all because of that sinner! "


    Suddenly, a young woman ran out from the side. Her face was haggard, and she seemed to be in a trance. "Mom?"


    Li Xianghua turned his head and saw his daughter-in-law.


    Her daughter-in-law sobbed and asked her, "Mom, do you resent your granddaughter so much? She was just born, yet you already gave her to her ¡­ You actually blamed her for what happened to her father-in-law? What was wrong with her?! Why do you have to talk about her like that? You don''t even let a dead child go? "


    "You still have the nerve to say that!?" If it weren''t for the fact that you, an unlucky star, gave birth to such a monstrous genius, would our family have suffered such a tragic fate? Did your father-in-law say something happened? Did the police really have to come knocking on my door? It''s all because of you, the unlucky star who brought misfortune to our family! What''s the use of having you? Why don''t you go die? Why don''t you die for your father-in-law? "


    Li Xianghua''s daughter-in-law was completely stupefied. She never would have thought that her family that she had endured for more than ten years would think of her like this! She wiped her eyes with her sleeve, stopped crying, and walked over to the policeman.


    She opened her mouth and said, "Comrade Police, let me be the witness. Li Xianghua killed her biological granddaughter who was only two days old. She is a murderer, a murderer worthy of her title! It''s my stupidity, it''s my ruthlessness. I clearly knew that she killed my daughter, but I still wanted to help her hide the truth ¡­ "I want to report her. I want to seek justice for my daughter ¡­"


    "According to this station''s news, there has been a shocking tragedy in the city recently. His biological grandmother had killed a baby girl who was only two days old because she despised the fact that the baby was a girl. The suspect has confessed to his crime, and the police have arrested him, pending the final judgment of the court. The law will severely punish such heinous acts! "As for the follow-up reports, our station will continue to pay close attention to them ¡­"


    Shen Jiaming watched the news on the television and heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the police finally gave the little baby some justice.


    Inside the jail cell in the jail cell, Li Xianghua couldn''t sleep at all, and he was as thin as a stick.


    Behind her stood her husband.


    In the arms of his husband, there was even a baby that was crying ¡­

 C58

    Ever since the matter of the baby crying, Shen Jiaming felt more and more that all the ghosts he saw had hidden secrets. He had originally thought that these ghosts would actually stay here, but now he was certain that they would not stay where they were for no reason at all.


    Shen Jiaming knew that the little boy in the corridor had yet to find his home. But, what about the Fatty? Why did the Fatty become a ghost?


    Fatty was on his way to climb the mountain together with him. The two of them sat in the same car when something happened to them. At that time, You Lilin was also in their team, but it was not a car with them. Could it be because he fell down the cliff and died on the spot? Without realizing that he died, Fatty became a ghost? Because she couldn''t find him, and got entangled with You Lilin?


    However, the more he thought about it, the stranger it felt. Because, at that time, among the people in the same convoy, there were also other good brothers from the Fatty. Furthermore, the relationship between the Fatty and You Lilin was very ordinary, so it didn''t seem like they were people who could be together!


    What he thought of now was that there might have been some other reasons why the Fatty had followed You Lilin at that time.


    But what was the reason? Shen Jiaming had no way of knowing.


    The redness and swelling on the back of Sheng Jiuzhou''s hand disappeared in a single day. What made Shen Jiaming curious was that the swelling on the back of Sheng Jiuzhou''s hand had healed, and the inexplicable pain in his hand had also disappeared. He shook his head, surprised to find that he had never been able to feel the pain of others.


    No matter if the wounds on the back of her hand had healed or not, Sheng Jiuzhou only had one fun thing, and that was to hold her phone and play games. Shen Jiaming had corrected her a few times but she was still unmoved.


    Shen Jiaming turned his head and saw Sheng Jiuzhou sitting on the sofa, seriously playing games, as if he did not care about what was going on outside at all.


    He could not bear to see this, so he kindly called out to her, "Ah Jiu, stop playing with your phone. You can''t even look at her with your eyes!"


    Sheng Jiuzhou was still focused on playing the game, and completely ignored Shen Jiaming.


    Shen Jiaming was angry, and walked towards her. He didn''t believe that he was unable to save this little girl.


    He was just about to go over when his cell phone rang. His phone kept ringing, so Shen Jiaming had no choice but to give up on the idea of disciplining Sheng Jiuzhou, turned, and walked towards his own phone. Before he left, he even said to Sheng Jiuzhou: "Consider yourself lucky, after I finish answering the phone, I''ll come and take care of you."


    Sheng Jiuzhou, who never gave Shen Jiaming a chance to respond, unexpectedly raised his head and smiled complacently at Shen Jiaming. When Shen Jiaming glared at her, she pretended that she was fine and continued to play with her phone.


    Shen Jiaming laughed helplessly. He actually hoped that Sheng Jiuzhou could act like a normal little girl, and not continue to be cold.


    The caller ID on the screen surprised Shen Jiaming. He did not expect that the caller ID was You Lilin.


    You Lilin called out from the phone first, "Brother Shen."


    Shen Jiaming acknowledged, and the two of them sat on the phone in silence. Actually, the two of them really had nothing to say.


    After a long while, You Lilin opened his mouth first, "Brother Shen, I am apologizing on behalf of Fei Fei. I also did not expect her to come and cause trouble at your place, much less that she would distort the truth and target your little sister. "


    Shen Jiaming opened his mouth and said: "You Lilin, now Qin Feifei is already married to you. I don''t care what kind of relationship you two have with each other. But please tell Qin Feifei to stop disturbing my life. My sister was scratched on the back of her hand by her. Seeing that she did not care about it, if there was another chance, I, Shen Jiaming, would definitely not be lenient. Don''t think that I, Shen Jiaming, am just a sick cat just because I, Shen Jiaming, am not going to show off! "


    You Lilin immediately guaranteed on the other end of the phone, and apologized to Sheng Jiuzhou on his behalf.


    Shen Jiaming talked for awhile, before hanging up the phone, he finally felt a bit better. "You Lilin, what happened to you and Fatty?"


    You Lilin stared blankly for a moment. He could not understand why Shen Jiaming would suddenly mention the Fatty.


    Shen Jiaming felt that although he did not really like You Lilin and Qin Feifei, after all, they were human beings who had their own conscience. If he could see the ghosts and see the abnormalities on the two of them, he could not hold it in and not talk about it. In the end, it led to a bad situation.


    He held his phone and said: "You Lilin, don''t ask me how I know. I''m just telling you, the Fatty''s soul is following you, and it looks very similar ¡­ I don''t know, but you should be careful. If you can find a master with ability, it would be better if you could go take a look. "


    "Brother Shen, what did you say? You said that the Fatty''s soul follows me?! " You Lilin, who was on the other side of the phone, was about to scream out in disbelief as he begged, "Brother Shen, don''t spout nonsense. It''s not like you don''t know that I, your brother, am timid. "You said that you used this kind of thing to scare me, what benefits would there be?"


    Shen Jiaming also knew that You Lilin might not believe him at all, but no matter what, this was a fight between brothers, and it was even because of his best bro, Fatty.


    Shen Jiaming said: "I know you might not believe me, but what I said was the truth. I didn''t believe it either, but now I do. Moreover, this sort of thing would rather believe it than not. Let me ask you, You Lilin, when something happened between my car and Fatty, where were you? "


    You Lilin was a little flustered, he stammered: "Brother Shen, why are you asking this?"


    Shen Jiaming didn''t think much of it and directly replied, "I suspect that there is a reason why Fatty is following you. Maybe you were beside him when he met with trouble, so he was coincidentally following you around. "


    "Brother Shen, you can''t make this up carelessly. Fatty and his wife have both died, why is he following me? What can he do?"


    When You Lilin said this, his entire body was trembling, and the sounds he used to speak were twitching, he was extremely afraid.


    Shen Jiaming said sincerely: "You Lilin, I know you don''t believe me, but I know you think I''m spouting nonsense. But I''m helping you analyze it now, and then I''ll help you think of a way out. If you really don''t believe me, I have no choice, and I won''t waste my breath on you. Oh right, Qin Feifei is not normal, if you want to go see the Great Master, you better bring her along, and let the Great Master take a look as well. "


    Shen Jiaming originally said those words out of goodwill to You Lilin, but since You Lilin did not believe him, he did not want to say anything more. Right now, he was in a dire situation, so he couldn''t care less about other people''s matters.

 C59

    After Shen Jiaming hung up the phone, he suddenly thought of something. The hearts of the people were shocked, and they were at a loss of what to do.


    When he called just now, he actually did not use his brain and directly suggested that You Lilin go and see a master of the spirit examination. If You Lilin really listened to his words and went to see some master, and those masters came up with no logic at all, and directly drove the ghost away, wouldn''t the Fatty be in danger?


    Although the Fatty had already become a ghost, he was still his best bro that he grew up with. He absolutely could not let the Fatty be expelled like this.


    He thought about that day in the corridor, the look in Fatty''s eyes when he looked at You Lilin. He felt that he had to figure out why Fatty was following him.


    Thinking about it, he didn''t care about anything else and immediately put on his jacket and prepared to go out to find You Lilin.


    Only by finding You Lilin would they be able to find the Fatty. He could see ghosts and communicate with ghosts. He should have directly asked Fatty if he had something that was difficult to say, which was why he followed You Lilin!


    Before Shen Jiaming left, not being able to relax, he called the cleaning lady and asked her to make a meal for him. Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly raised his head, the mobile phone in his hand had not been put down either. He looked straight at Shen Jiaming and said a strange sentence, "If you go, you will regret it."


    Shen Jiaming was startled at first, then asked her: "You know where I''m going? "Why do you say that I will regret it?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou did not speak, he lowered his head again and continued to play his game on his mobile phone.


    Shen Jiaming asked this question twice, but Sheng Jiuzhou still did not speak. Right now, his entire mind was filled with worry for the Fatty, afraid that the soul of the Fatty would be driven away by You Lilin.


    He decided to look for You Lilin. If possible, he hoped that the Fatty''s soul could follow him. Even if it had a negative impact on him, he still hoped that the Fatty could follow him. He was his brother. Even if he turned into a ghost, he was still his brother.


    After understanding this, Shen Jiaming had an idea in his heart. Without hesitation, he drove to You Lilin''s house without looking back.


    He had visited You Lilin''s home often in the past, so he was relatively familiar with it. He went downstairs and called You Lilin, saying that he wanted to see him.


    Receiving the call, You Lilin glanced at Qin Feifei who was on the bed, nodded, and said: "Brother Shen, Fei Fei is sleeping inside right now. As you know, she just had an abortion, so she needs some time to recover. Shall we go out alone? "


    Shen Jiaming did not want to go to You Lilin''s house, nor did he want to see Qin Feifei. He nodded his head and replied, "Come down, I''ll be right below your building."


    "Alright, I''ll be right down." You Lilin hung up the phone, then turned and looked at Qin Feifei who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly. It was hard to tell if he was smiling or not.


    Qin Feifei laid obediently on the bed. A bottle of sleeping pills was placed on the bedside with the lid on.


    You Lilin took his key and went downstairs. He walked towards Shen Jiaming''s car, and knocked on the window to greet him. "Brother Shen?"


    Shen Jiaming squinted for a while, when he heard the commotion, he immediately turned his head. The person he was looking at was not You Lilin, but the Fatty behind him.


    Fatty looked at Shen Jiaming, shaking his head with all his might, his mouth opening and closing, repeating this word over and over. Shen Jiaming stared blankly at it for a long time but he did not know what the Fatty was talking about.


    He could not help but frown and ask, "Fatty, what are you talking about?"


    Fatty was still behind You Lilin, he shook his head and opened his mouth wide...


    You Lilin who was knocking on the window did not notice it, and continued to shout, "Brother Shen, I''m coming down, open the door!"


    All of Shen Jiaming''s attention was on Fatty, he simply did not have time to pay attention to You Lilin. When he suddenly heard You Lilin''s voice, he slowly came back to his senses as a strange feeling spread out from within his body.


    He didn''t know what it was like, but he started the car without thinking and put a foot on the gas pedal to get it out.


    Shen Jiaming was caught off guard when his car suddenly started moving. His hand was originally on Shen Jiaming''s car window, but was suddenly hit by the car, leaving a wound.


    You Lilin frowned, he then shook his hand, and watched as the Shen Family''s car drove further and further away, directly leaving the residential area. He leisurely took out his phone and called Shen Jiaming.


    Shen Jiaming held onto the steering wheel, he was panicking and his entire body was trembling uncontrollably.


    He did not know why he had suddenly sent the car over at that moment. However, at that moment, his instinct was to tell him to run, run, run ¡­


    Yes, it was running. It was an instinct that came from the bones.


    But why? Why did this happen?


    Just as Shen Jiaming was deep in thought, his phone suddenly rang. The caller ID showed You Lilin''s name on the screen.


    He shivered as he saw the three words. He hesitated for a moment before he switched on the Bluetooth earpiece.


    You Lilin spoke on the phone, "Brother Shen, what''s wrong? Why did you suddenly drive away? "


    Shen Jiaming nervously swallowed his saliva, and only after a long time did he say: "Ah, You Lilin, I, I suddenly remember that I still have some urgent matters to attend to, I''ll come look for you another day."


    "Fine, Brother Shen wants to find me, so you can call me anytime. I just happen to be on break recently, nothing else."


    "Mm, goodbye." Shen Jiaming hurriedly hung up the phone and then drove to a stop. He stopped the car and sat in a daze.


    He was thinking about the Fatty.


    Yes, Fatty.


    Fatty probably recognized him just now and shook his head as if his life depended on it. He didn''t know what Fatty was going to say. He could see clearly that at that time, Fatty''s eyes did not have any light. Even though it was foggy, he could not see what he was trying to express.


    What exactly did the Fatty want to tell him? Why did he suddenly have the thought of running away? All of these things, what did it have to do with You Lilin? Or was it because he could see ghosts that he had this instinct?


    He wanted to go back and see the Fatty and ask him about it, but he hesitated when he started the car. His body, from the inside out, all his senses resisted ¡ª they were all trying to stop him, to stop him from going back! I can''t go back!


    Since he was young, Shen Jiaming had never felt something like this. This was an indescribably strange and strange feeling, and he did not know why he felt it.


    Some things were getting more and more incomprehensible.

 C60

    Just as Shen Jiaming was at a loss for what to do and hesitated while sitting in the car, the phone rang again.


    In the quiet space, the bell suddenly rang. Shen Jiaming was shocked, he did not know why, but he was slightly afraid that it was You Lilin calling.


    However, the phone call was not from You Lilin, but Zhu Minghui.


    Zhu Minghui went straight to the point: "Brother Shen, I found out that there is a master who is said to have some skills, you ¡­ Want to see it? "


    Shen Jiaming was at a loss of what to do about his own situation, hearing that Zhu Minghui had found someone who understood him, he nodded his head quickly: "I want to see, I want to see, I want to go now, where is that?"


    Zhu Minghui hesitated for a moment before slowly opening his mouth, and advised: "Brother Shen, I do not know if this person is truly capable, but I have only heard the recommendations from my friends. "Do you want to reconsider ¡­"


    Shen Jiaming said decisively: "There''s no need to think about it, I will naturally know if it''s true or not when the time comes."


    He felt that it wasn''t difficult for him to differentiate between the real and the fake. He could even see ghosts, so if the other party couldn''t even see ghosts, then it must be fake.


    Shen Jiaming drove the car to the underground parking lot of his residential complex. After parking the car, he did not get off the car immediately.


    He was thinking, how did he suddenly see ghosts?


    He wouldn''t have seen a ghost until he was in a car accident. Then, he could see that the ghost was the result of this car crash. He thought of the corpse within the Tomb Hole. He had called again to ask about it, and it was said that the corpse brother had still not been found. He thought about Sheng Jiuzhou, who still had no clues about Sheng Jiuzhou''s family.


    He suddenly felt that something related to the Tomb Hole was getting weirder and weirder. He thought that after he met Master, he would have to look at that Tomb Hole again to find the mystery that confused him. Perhaps, there would be an answer.


    As he was thinking, he suddenly heard the laughter of children. He turned his head and saw the little boy who had disappeared for a long time. He was sitting in the front passenger seat, sizing up his car.


    Seeing him, Shen Jiaming suddenly had an idea. He said to him, "Don''t you remember anything about yourself, little friend?"


    The little boy shook his head. As expected, he still didn''t remember.


    Shen Jiaming told him the truth, "I found one, and it is said that I can also see your Master, I will bring you to see him, okay? Help your uncle check if he can see you or not. If he really can see you, we can ask him to help you find a home. "


    The little boy glanced at Shen Jiaming, then suddenly shouted, "What a terrifying big sister!"


    "Huh?" Shen Jiaming didn''t understand why he would come here to ask so randomly. Just when he was about to ask, the little boy disappeared.


    Shen Jiaming stared at the passenger seat, but before he could react, he heard the sound of someone knocking on the window.


    He turned his head and saw Sheng Jiuzhou.


    Sheng Jiuzhou had already changed into a set of clothes. On top of the shirt was a light blue jeans, which Shen Jiaming had also bought for her.


    Shen Jiaming was surprised, and anxiously asked: "Ah Jiu, why are you here?"


    "Take you home."


    Shen Jiaming was startled, he did not expect Sheng Jiuzhou to say that.


    Sheng Jiuzhou stood outside the car door for a while, then knocked on the window. Finally, Shen Jiaming regained his senses, opened the door, and got off.


    After he got off the car, he first asked Sheng Jiuzhou, "Ah Jiu, have you eaten yet?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou nodded his head, "The meat is delicious."


    Shen Jiaming laughed helplessly, and couldn''t help but reach out to rub her hair, "You, are such a picky eater, in the future you are not allowed to only eat meat, but also some vegetables in order to have balanced nutrition."


    Oh yeah, "he said as he recalled it," I''ll go out with Zhu Minghui tomorrow, you stay at home, I''ll tell my aunt to cook some vegetables, you''re not allowed to choose, you understand?


    "I want to go too!" Before Shen Jiaming could finish his words, Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted him.


    Shen Jiaming frowned, "You knew where I was going, so you followed me there? You are not allowed to go. "


    "No matter where it is, I want to go!" Sheng Jiuzhou raised his head, straightened his neck, and followed her no matter what.


    After all, it was because he could see ghosts that he went to see the Grandmaster. It was really inappropriate for a little girl like Sheng Jiuzhou to follow him.


    At night, when Zhu Minghui called Shen Jiaming to set a time to set a departure, Sheng Jiuzhou stood by the side and stared at him as he made a call.


    Shen Jiaming said: "Ah Jiu, this is not a good thing, you don''t need to follow me. It''s definitely more comfortable to climb the mountain from a distance than to play on your cell phone at home. "


    Sheng Jiuzhou shook his head, and only said two words, "I''m going."


    Just as Shen Jiaming was about to speak, Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly opened his mouth and said, "If I bring all the people you want to bring, will you let me go?"


    Shen Jiaming was a little taken aback. The person he was going to bring, who was he going to bring? Starting tomorrow, he will only make an appointment with Zhu Minghui, there basically won''t be anyone else?


    After Sheng Jiuzhou finished speaking, without waiting for Shen Jiaming to reply, he turned and entered the master bedroom.


    Shen Jiaming stood in the living room with his mobile phone, staring at the door of the master bedroom, stunned.


    He didn''t expect that this little girl would have such a good temper.


    On the second day, Shen Jiaming woke up very early, intending to go out before Sheng Jiuzhou woke up. He knew that if that girl was stubborn, even ten oxen wouldn''t be able to pull her back.


    However, his plans were very good, the moment he opened the door, he saw Sheng Jiuzhou dressed neatly, even his long jacket and backpack were already prepared.


    Shen Jiaming, "..."


    Sheng Jiuzhou stood at the door of Shen Jiaming''s room, perfectly straight as if she was standing guard at Shen Jiaming''s door.


    Shen Jiaming was helpless, he rubbed his forehead and sighed: "Ah Jiu, we aren''t going to any good place, why are you going to suffer?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou raised his head and stared at him, but did not say anything. In the end, Shen Jiaming had no choice but to let her follow along with Sheng Jiuzhou''s personality.


    They arrived at the underground parking lot together. When Shen Jiaming pulled open the car door, he saw the little boy sitting behind the car seat. He just sat there, not making a sound, not even moving.


    Just as he was about to speak to the little boy, he suddenly remembered that Sheng Jiuzhou couldn''t see him, so he only nodded at the boy and didn''t say anything.


    If the little boy had not appeared by himself, he would have completely forgotten that he was supposed to bring the little boy along after Sheng Jiuzhou made a ruckus.


    If this so-called master couldn''t even see a ghost child, what kind of master was he?

 C61

    It was only when Sheng Jiuzhou opened the door to the front passenger seat and did not turn around to look at the back seat that he could finally relax. However, there was a faint sense of unease in his heart.


    After all, Sheng Jiuzhou was a normal person and the Zhu Minghui he would pick up later was also a normal person. Letting them ride in a car with a kid, he felt bad from the bottom of his heart. However, he had no choice in this matter.


    When Zhu Minghui got in the car, Shen Jiaming specifically got out and helped him open the back door, and whispered to him: "Sit properly, don''t cross the border."


    Looking at the empty passenger seat, he stuttered for a long time. Finally, he pulled Shen Jiaming and said decisively: "Brother Shen, I think it''s better if I drive. I can drive safely, so you can sit in the back!"


    Shen Jiaming knew that Zhu Minghui understood what he meant, and was truly afraid of ghosts. He didn''t say anything, but nodded his head and agreed. He directly sat in the front seat beside the little boy.


    After he got into the car, he smiled at the little boy and said silently, "Thank you for coming to help."


    The little boy was still calm and did not move an inch, nor did he greet Shen Jiaming.


    Shen Jiaming also didn''t say anything else as he reached out to fasten his seat belt. He had suffered this kind of loss before, he did not want to suffer this kind of loss again.


    After Zhu Minghui got on the carriage, he greeted Sheng Jiuzhou. He was surprised, he did not expect Shen Jiaming to bring this young lady who had suddenly popped out of nowhere just to meet the Spirit Appraisal Master.


    He only heard Shen Jiaming mentioning Sheng Jiuzhou before, and didn''t tell her background. He only said that she was a little sister who temporarily lived in his house, and he basically had no impression of her, so he was not that interested in Sheng Jiuzhou.


    He was more interested in the empty rear seat. He wanted to know what the seat in the back seat, the place that Shen Jiaming had deliberately given him, was like.


    As Zhu Minghui drove, he stared at the back of the car, multitasking, wanting to see the little ghost behind him. He tried many different methods, using the rearview mirror, looking directly at the car, even turning on the lights at a red light.


    At first, when Shen Jiaming was thinking about this matter, he did not notice that Zhu Minghui, who was driving the car, was actually so dishonest. When he realized that Zhu Minghui was not driving obediently, he was shocked and anxiously tried to stop him, "Zhu Minghui, drive properly for me! There are four people in your car.


    That car accident had left a deep impression on Shen Jiaming. He himself had moved to the back of the car, and because he was careless, he didn''t wear his seat belt. How did a car accident happen? He had no recollection of it. All he knew was that he was thrown out of the car in an instant and then fell down ¡­


    Shen Jiaming recalled the scene back then, and he could even feel the sensation of falling. He could actually unexpectedly survive such a high and deep cliff. This ¡­ How is that possible?


    Shen Jiaming turned his head to look at the little boy. He remembered that the little boy had not realized that he was dead. Was it possible that he was already dead, and he just wasn''t interested in it?


    Shen Jiaming began to let his imagination run wild. In the end, he confirmed that he might already be dead, and that he might really be a soul now. He reached out to pinch the back of the little boy''s hand. As expected, the little boy did not react, and did not cry out in pain at all. He only turned his head around and curiously looked at Shen Jiaming.


    Shen Jiaming finished pinching the little boy, and after confirming that the ghost did not feel any pain, he used the same amount of force to pinch himself.


    Ah!" He screamed miserably, scaring Zhu Minghui who was driving. He stepped on the brakes and stopped the car by the side of the road.


    Zhu Minghui nervously asked: "Brother Shen, Brother Shen, what''s wrong?"


    Shen Jiaming retracted his hand, and rubbed his aching arm. He felt that he had really made a fool of himself, thinking that he was dead.


    He shook his head, grinded his teeth and said to Zhu Minghui: "I''m fine. You drive your car, we need to rush there today."


    The master that Zhu Minghui had introduced was on a mountain outside the city, which was very far away from the city they lived in. They couldn''t go up the mountain directly if they went there, and had to stay in a hotel for the night.


    The Master''s place was not a big place, and there were no five-star hotels around, only a very old and dilapidated one, which Shen Jiaming had booked before.


    Originally, he had only booked two standard rooms, because he and Zhu Minghui were the only two rooms. Because he was going to bring the little boy along, and he was afraid that Zhu Minghui wouldn''t dare to share a room with her, he had booked two rooms.


    But now that Sheng Jiuzhou had come, the allocation of rooms became a problem. Shen Jiaming asked the front desk clerk, "Excuse me, do you have any extra rooms?"


    The front desk clerk politely told him, "Sir, our rooms are all full. There''s nothing left."


    Zhu Minghui took a glance at the great hall, and saw that there were very few people, and not a single one was present. He did not believe him and asked the receptionist, "Your inn seems to be full of people, how come it''s full?"


    The receptionist did not seem to be satisfied with Zhu Minghui''s sarcasm, but because she could not quarrel with the customer, she could only mock him, "Sir, do you know where we are now? We have the most famous master in the country, and the number of people who come here every day is not something you can count, so how could there be an empty room? "If it wasn''t for your friend booking your room in advance, all of you would have had to carry your things and stayed the night outside."


    With regards to the ''Master'', Shen Jiaming wanted to know more.


    Shen Jiaming was a tall and handsome man, his way of speaking was polite and polite, the complete opposite from the Zhu Minghui just now. The young lady at the front desk was naturally willing to tell Shen Jiaming everything she knew.


    "Our master''s surname is Liao and his mana is deep. I heard that the ancestors of the Master Liao were people who were in this line of work ¡­ "


    This Master Liao was the master that Shen Jiaming wanted to pay a visit to. According to the front desk, it was not easy to meet this master, so he had to go up the mountain to line up. There was a limit on the number of guests in the Master Liao in a day, so many people would queue up in the mountain after staying at their hotels for the night. Usually, it would take a few days before they could see those people descending the mountain. However, they all had smiles on their faces when they came down the mountain.


    It was also because of this that the name of the Master Liao was so well-known, and many people came here to admire it.


    In fact, Zhu Minghui had heard of the Master Liao''s name a long time ago, but he didn''t really care about this problem. He was more concerned about why there was only one hotel at the foot of the mountain, and why did it look so shabby.

 C62

    This inn was indeed very run-down. The moment the adjacent wooden door touched it, wood shavings would fall off immediately, causing Zhu Minghui''s body to be covered in dust. It was as if this hotel had not been repaired for hundreds of years. However, judging from the style of this hotel, it should have only been popular in recent years. It didn''t seem like a building from several hundred years ago at all.


    The receptionist did not want to bother with Zhu Minghui, so naturally she did not answer his question as to why there was only one hotel at the foot of the mountain.


    Without a spare room, there was only Sheng Jiuzhou''s room, Shen Jiaming''s room and''s room.


    When Zhu Minghui heard that he was going to share a room with Shen Jiaming, his first reaction was to ask Shen Jiaming secretly, "Brother Shen, is that ghost also going to share a room with us?"


    Shen Jiaming looked at the cute little boy who was standing beside him, and nodded apologetically at Zhu Minghui. "I''ll keep an eye on him. I won''t let him near you."


    Zhu Minghui''s face turned ugly. He thought, Shen Jiaming was only someone who could see ghosts. He didn''t even know how he could see ghosts right now, so how could he control ghosts? If that ghost didn''t need to get near him to do so, then wouldn''t he be in trouble?


    However, when he thought about it, if he lived alone, even if there was a ghost standing beside him, he would not know! In the end, Zhu Minghui calculated for a long time before emphasizing, "Brother Shen, you must take care of him. If there is anything abnormal, you must tell me! You have to tell me! "


    It was probably because he had been able to see the ghost for a while, that Shen Jiaming was already very calm. Seeing such a restless Zhu Minghui, he couldn''t help but want to laugh. However, Zhu Minghui was his brother after all, and had accompanied him to this kind of place at all costs. It would be too unkind of him to laugh at him again.


    Sheng Jiuzhou had been very quiet throughout the entire journey. She did not speak nor did she play on her phone.


    Shen Jiaming told Sheng Jiuzhou to let her sleep in one room, and asked her if she was afraid. Sheng Jiuzhou ignored him and turned to go upstairs.


    The hotel''s stairs were also made of wood, and they creaked and creaked as if they would collapse at any moment. Zhu Minghui, who was standing behind Sheng Jiuzhou, clearly saw the wooden boards of the stairs start to shake, and even started to drop wood shavings with a crackling sound, just like the wooden door.


    Zhu Minghui could not help but grumble, "This wood is so bad, it must have been eaten by ants!"


    The hotel had two floors, mainly made of wood. When he went up the stairs to the second floor, he saw a long corridor. Both sides of the corridor were lined with guest rooms. The corridor was bare and bare, not even a painting. Zhu Minghui could not help but complain, "This is such a crappy place, what kind of inn is this?"


    Although Shen Jiaming also felt that this inn was a little strange, but he thought that since this person could open a shop at the foot of the Master Liao and monopolize all the resources, there must be a reason. It was just that for this reason, Shen Jiaming was temporarily unable to understand. In any case, the hotel felt strange to her.


    Their two standard rooms were adjacent to each other. Shen Jiaming warned Sheng Jiuzhou repeatedly, if she was afraid or something happens, remember to call them.


    Sheng Jiuzhou looked at them with disdain, and then, without saying a word, he reached out to open the door and closed it in front of them.


    Zhu Minghui had never interacted with Sheng Jiuzhou before, so he did not know that this little girl had such a temper. He could not help but complain to Shen Jiaming, "Brother Shen, what''s wrong with your sister? She looks pretty cute, why does she have such a personality?"


    Shen Jiaming laughed, and without saying anything, he directly brought Zhu Minghui into their room. The room was very clean. There were two beds, a TV, a set of chairs, and nothing else. It was very simple and crude.


    Shen Jiaming pointed to the two beds and asked Zhu Minghui, "Which one do you sleep on?"


    Zhu Minghui gloomily picked the window seat, he could not help but start to complain, "This Master Liao is so famous, why is the inn at the foot of the mountain so shabby? "Oh my god, I left my bed at home and didn''t sleep at all. I actually ran to such a desolate place, it''s really ¡­"


    It was hard to explain in a single sentence!


    Shen Jiaming didn''t have time to bother with Zhu Minghui, he still had to settle that little boy. He wanted to talk to the boy, but when he turned around, he found that the boy had disappeared without a trace. Shen Jiaming was not worried about him when he disappeared in the past. However, he was not familiar with this place. Shen Jiaming was afraid that something would happen to the little boy and started to worry about him.


    Actually, he had already noticed that the little boy was different from usual today. In the past, he would laugh and make a ruckus, but today, he was exceptionally obedient.


    Shen Jiaming stood on the spot and called out, "Hey, where are you? You''re not allowed to hide, hurry up and come out? "


    Zhu Minghui was packing his bag when he heard Shen Jiaming''s shout and was shocked. He had done his best to build a room with ghosts. However, he had to spend the night with a ghost after all. It would be a lie if he said that he wasn''t afraid.


    He asked, "Brother Shen, who are you calling?"


    Shen Jiaming frowned, he was a little worried, "The boy that came with us is gone."


    "He''s gone?" Zhu Minghui had never seen the little boy before, so he had no idea if he had disappeared. "Brother Shen, when did he disappear? Did he really disappear, or was he just hiding? "


    Shen Jiaming was not sure if the little boy had disappeared, or if he was hiding. "He shook his head and replied Zhu Minghui. I don''t know when he disappeared, but he was still there when we checked into the hotel lobby. "


    When they were walking up the stairs, Shen Jiaming didn''t notice the little boy, and afterwards, he also didn''t notice the little boy''s warning. It was unknown whether or not he had not caught up.


    Zhu Minghui put down the backpack in his hands and said: "Brother Shen, let''s go down and take a look? What if the little ghost doesn''t know how to get up the stairs and gets lost? "


    When he said this, even he felt that it was a bit funny. Could ghosts get lost too? Do they still walk with their eyes?


    The two of them nodded without hesitation and went to open the door.


    The moment the door opened, Shen Jiaming was stunned, his entire person frozen in front of the door.


    Outside their door, it wasn''t a corridor at all, but a precipitous cliff. It was vertical and extremely steep, with no bottom to be seen ¡­

 C63

    Shen Jiaming stood at the door and did not move. Zhu Minghui urged her from behind, "Brother Shen, why aren''t you leaving?"


    Zhu Minghui only regained his senses after hearing Zhu Minghui''s shout, and when he looked again in front of him, he saw that it was still that bare corridor, and there was no cliff at all.


    Shen Jiaming rubbed his eyes again. It was still that bare corridor, probably his imagination just now.


    If this had happened in the past, Shen Jiaming would have thought that it was just his imagination. But ever since he knew that he could see ghosts, Shen Jiaming had already gotten used to paying extra attention to the incredible things he saw. He believed that what he saw earlier was absolutely not an illusion.


    Zhu Minghui did not know what Shen Jiaming saw, but after urging him for a bit, Shen Jiaming came back to his senses and followed him downstairs.


    In the hall downstairs, there was still no one around, and Shen Jiaming did not see the little boy either. He looked around in worry, and finally confirmed that the little boy had indeed disappeared.


    guessed that maybe they, the little boy, had some kind of special ability. Just like the last time he saw the Fatty, they suddenly disappeared.


    Looking at the expression on Shen Jiaming''s face, Zhu Minghui knew that he had not found the brat.


    "Brother Shen, the thing you''re talking about ¡­ "Just where can he go?"


    Shen Jiaming naturally didn''t know either, he could only shake his head and stop searching, "Let''s go back and rest. If that child wants to see me, he''ll come find me himself."


    Just as Shen Jiaming was about to follow him up the stairs, Shen Jiaming suddenly turned around and discovered that there was a group of people standing outside the inn. He could not help but ask, "What happened outside? Why are there so many people? "


    Zhu Minghui had already stepped onto the wooden staircase. When he suddenly heard Shen Jiaming''s words, he turned around and looked towards the door curiously. There was no one at the entrance of the hotel.


    Zhu Minghui was startled, he extended his hand and pulled Shen Jiaming, and anxiously said: "Brother Shen, let''s go back to our room first."


    Shen Jiaming nodded and followed Zhu Minghui back to his room.


    After Zhu Minghui entered the room, he immediately pulled Shen Jiaming towards the window. The curtains in their room were blocked, and neither of them had opened them just now.


    Zhu Minghui pulled Shen Jiaming to the window, and didn''t directly pull open the curtain. Instead, he pulled the curtain just a little so that he could look outside.


    Shen Jiaming was a little baffled, and didn''t understand why Zhu Minghui would do such a thing.


    Zhu Minghui nervously asked, "Brother Shen, do you think someone is downstairs?"


    Their windows were in the same direction as the hotel''s entrance. Shen Jiaming nodded and said: "There are people, many people. They are all surrounded.


    Zhu Minghui paused for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth and said, "I see that downstairs is empty and spacious. There''s not a single person here."


    Shen Jiaming was stunned, he had already realized what he had just seen.


    The entrance of this hotel was filled with ghosts.


    Thinking about the situation, Shen Jiaming started to panic. He was worried that Sheng Jiuzhou would be alone in his room, so he quickly said to Zhu Minghui: "Let''s go to Ah Jiu first, as for how we will pass the night, we can discuss it later."


    After he finished speaking, without waiting for Zhu Minghui''s consent, he immediately carried him and walked out. Zhu Minghui also knew that for a little girl like Sheng Jiuzhou to be living in such an inn alone would definitely cause others to feel uneasy. But he never thought that Shen Jiaming would actually treat her with such care.


    When Shen Jiaming opened the door, he saw the cliff once again. This time, he saw a red flame at the bottom of the cliff, very, very far away. It looked extremely frightening, and he couldn''t help but stop in his tracks.


    Zhu Minghui did not expect Shen Jiaming to once again stand at the door and not leave. She only asked him curiously, "Brother Shen, why aren''t you leaving again?"


    Shen Jiaming did not have the mind to care about Zhu Minghui right now. He had already raised his head and went to look at the entire corridor of the second floor of the inn.


    The entire corridor had been transformed into a deep red trench, much clearer than the one he had seen just now. This time, he could even see the lines of the side ravine clearly.


    What is this? What was going on with this corridor?


    Shen Jiaming didn''t know what was going on, but he couldn''t explain it either.


    Just as Zhu Minghui was about to push him away, Shen Jiaming suddenly lowered her voice and shouted in a low voice, "Zhu Minghui, don''t move!"


    Zhu Minghui was already frightened by the strangeness of this hotel. With Shen Jiaming calling out to him so cautiously, he told him not to move a muscle. Naturally, he did not dare move an inch and completely listened to Shen Jiaming''s commands.


    The reason why Shen Jiaming opened his mouth was because he saw those black masses of people climbing up the wooden stairs in groups. Then, they stood at the edge of the corridor and jumped into the deep ravine one by one.


    The deep ravine was only as wide as the corridor. The dense crowd of people continuously climbed up and soon blocked the end of the corridor.


    Then, Shen Jiaming saw those people actually... They began to fight, mercilessly killing each other. The fangs and claws clawed at each other, and soon, several people''s arms, legs, heads, and stomachs were all ripped apart. It was as if these people weren''t afraid of pain. Even so, no one cried out in pain. They were still tearing at each other ¡­


    This kind of bloody and terrifying scene, Shen Jiaming could not bear to watch any longer. He immediately turned around and tightly closed the door.


    Zhu Minghui couldn''t see all of these things and naturally didn''t know what had happened. He also didn''t know what exactly had happened, but he could see that Shen Jiaming''s face was deathly pale with a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.


    Shen Jiaming did not bother to describe to Zhu Minghui what was happening outside. He immediately went to get his cellphone and called Sheng Jiuzhou. He wanted to tell her not to go out, not to stay in the house, not to come out.


    He tried to call Sheng Jiuzhou a few times, but the colourful phone kept ringing, but no one answered. Shen Jiaming was extremely anxious as he continuously chanted, "Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu, quickly pick up the phone! Ah Jiu, quickly pick up the phone!"


    But, no matter how much he tried to call, Sheng Jiuzhou refused to pick up the phone.


    Shen Jiaming did not care about what was happening in the corridor anymore as he desperately opened the door to look for Sheng Jiuzhou.


    Zhu Minghui chased behind him, she was confused, and anxiously asked: "Brother Shen, Brother Shen, what happened to you? Did you see something terrible? "


    This was the only explanation that Zhu Minghui could think of. Only when Shen Jiaming saw something extraordinary could he explain his strange behavior.


    Shen Jiaming warned Zhu Minghui, "Stay in the room and don''t go out. I''ll go find Ah Jiu, I can''t leave her alone with her. "


    With that said, Shen Jiaming did not care about what happened outside. Clenching his teeth, he rushed out of the room!

 C64

    Shen Jiaming didn''t know what kind of environment he was walking in. The road he was walking on should have been a wooden floor, but the ground beneath his feet was a sea of flames.


    His feet felt like they were stepping on transparent glass, stepping on the sea of flames as he moved forward.


    As he walked on it, he could even feel the heat, the heat, and the heat coming from beneath his feet. Relying on his courage, he lowered his head to look at the sea of fire beneath his feet. Within the sea of fire, he could see many black shadows. At first, Shen Jiaming did not think about what those black figures were. He looked at them for a long time before he realized that those black figures were the black figures that had surrounded the entrance of the inn.


    Shen Jiaming knew that he could no longer see this scene, only he could. In that case, the scene in this corridor looked like the legendary ''hell'', and those black shadows should be ghosts.


    He was worried about Sheng Jiuzhou, so he worked hard to overcome the fear in his heart and tried to walk towards her door. However, his legs were like lead, firmly fixed to the floor, unable to move a single step.


    Shen Jiaming did not expect himself to be unable to move at this moment. When he rushed out earlier, he simply did not expect himself to be trapped in such a situation. He knew that he had been reckless this time.


    Just as Shen Jiaming was at his wit''s end and was firmly controlled at his original position, he saw that the door to Sheng Jiuzhou''s room was opened. Sheng Jiuzhou who was dressed in black walked out of the room.


    Shen Jiaming saw Sheng Jiuzhou walking over, and was shocked. He anxiously shouted at her, afraid that she would fall into the same dilemma as him.


    "Ah Jiu, stand still and do not move forward.


    Sheng Jiuzhou turned a deaf ear to the shouts of the Shen Family. He walked out of the door, looked at Shen Jiaming, and walked over step by step.


    When she walked over, Shen Jiaming saw that wherever she passed, the sea of fire would instantly return to the original wooden floor. The surrounding environment had returned to normal, and even the burning sea of fire had calmed down.


    Sheng Jiuzhou walked through the corridor and sea of flames. His expression did not change as he walked steadily like Mt. Wherever she went, it was as if a magic spell had been cast, and all the seas of fire had disappeared without a trace.


    She walked in front of Shen Jiaming and stopped. Looking down at the half-kneeling Shen Jiaming, she suddenly opened her mouth and said, "It''s useless."


    Shen Jiaming''s feet were still firmly fixed on the floor as he struggled to raise his head and look at Sheng Jiuzhou. All he could hear was the rumbling sounds of the sea of flames, and he simply couldn''t hear what Sheng Jiuzhou was saying.


    The two of them looked at each other for a short while, before Sheng Jiuzhou reached out his hand towards Shen Jiaming. Her small white hand was raised in front of his eyes to help him up.


    At that moment, Shen Jiaming''s entire body was warm, not only were his feet unable to move, even his hands were extremely stiff. He tried his best to raise his hand. After a long while of effort, he finally managed to place his hand on Sheng Jiuzhou''s hand.


    Her hand, soft and small, was in his. The instant his fingers touched hers, he felt a chill rise up inside him. That chill seemed to be following his blood and moving around in his body. Soon, his entire body became ice-cold, like the cold air of a corpse.


    It was unknown whether it was due to psychological effects, or because he saw Sheng Jiuzhou, or because the sea of flames beneath his feet was disappearing, Shen Jiaming felt that he could now move, or even become nimble.


    He used Sheng Jiuzhou''s hand to help him stand up. When he turned around, he did not know when, but the entire corridor had already become normal.


    Zhu Minghui coincidentally opened the door as well, and looked at the two of them holding hands in confusion. He could not help but ask, "You two are so passionate, what are you doing?"


    As he spoke, he looked towards Sheng Jiuzhou. This was the first time he looked at Sheng Jiuzhou so carefully. She was dressed in a black suit, capable and agile, in stark contrast to her pale skin. Her eyes were clear, but it was sharp. She looked at Shen Jiaming with an expressionless face, exceptionally calm.


    In that instant, Zhu Minghui suddenly felt that the current Sheng Jiuzhou did not match his age at all. He did not look like a young lady in her twenties, but instead, an experienced person.


    Shen Jiaming panted heavily. After a long while, he finally felt himself normal. The first thing he said was to ask Sheng Jiuzhou worriedly, "Ah Jiu, are you alright? You don''t feel any discomfort, do you? "


    Actually, he wasn''t sure if it was an illusion just now, but when Sheng Jiuzhou came out of the guest room, he felt that the originally hot air had become still. It was not because the flames beneath his feet had stopped burning, but because there was no heat waves emanating from them. What made Shen Jiaming felt the most baffled was that the place Sheng Jiuzhou had walked through practically turned into normal in an instant, from a deep ravine and sea of flames.


    Sheng Jiuzhou looked at Shen Jiaming, and without saying anything, he turned and went downstairs.


    Shen Jiaming regained his senses, patted on the dust on his pants and followed her downstairs hastily. When he passed by Zhu Minghui, he did not forget to greet him, "I''ll go take a look with her. You rest first."


    The wooden steps of the hotel were trampled and dusted off. Previously, Shen Jiaming did not understand why this inn looked so run-down. Even though the decorations looked like they came from the past few years, the quality of the things were actually so poor. He now understood that if he had not seen the ghosts of the shadows by chance today, the staircase would have been climbed by so many ghosts every day, and it would have been strange if it hadn''t been so old.


    He went downstairs and finally caught up to Sheng Jiuzhou. Sheng Jiuzhou had already opened the glass door of the inn and stood on the steps.


    Shen Jiaming was terrified, afraid that he would run into the ghosts that surrounded the entrance. He anxiously walked towards Sheng Jiuzhou, but before even reaching the door, he noticed that the inn was empty. There was a large empty space in front of the hotel. Only now did Shen Jiaming''s hanging heart relax, but his steps towards Sheng Jiuzhou did not stop.


    As he was passing by the reception, he was stopped by a receptionist. It was a young man who was not that old, "Sir, please wait a moment."


    Shen Jiaming stopped and looked back, not knowing what the receptionist wanted to say. This waiter was not the same ones who registered Shen Jiaming and the others with, he should have changed shifts. The waiter was young, around seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was the only waiter at the front desk. He was very dutiful.


    He came out of the backstage and said, "Sir, sir, it is already midnight. You and your friend, please do not casually walk around the hotel."

 C65

    "Sir, sir, it is already midnight. You and your friend, please do not casually walk around the hotel."


    Ten in the night?


    Shen Jiaming was startled, why did it suddenly turn into ten in the night? They had arrived at the hotel in the evening and had not had time to finish their meal. He was still considering if he should have a few boxes of instant noodles for everyone to eat tonight!


    The young front desk clerk saw that Shen Jiaming did not react, and repeated what he had said before, trying to persuade him, "Sir, it''s not safe here, it''s not safe at night. A while ago, there was a robbery in our store, and one of them died. "


    Shen Jiaming nodded his head, he was not worried about security at the moment, he was more worried about ghosts.


    What he had just seen in the corridor on the second floor didn''t seem like a good thing to him. It was a bit like the hell he had seen in a TV show.


    Could it be that the scene he saw before was really hell?


    Shen Jiaming had something on his mind, and was a little distracted by the waiter''s reminder. He really wanted to go and call Sheng Jiuzhou back. He would only be at ease if he called Sheng Jiuzhou back.


    Before he could raise his leg, he was stopped by the waiter. This half grown lad was very persistent, he tugged on Shen Jiaming''s sleeves without letting go, his face full of worry.


    Shen Jiaming was confused, she turned her head and asked, "You, what else do you want?"


    "Sir, don''t go to the door. There were a lot of people gathered at the other side, and something seems to have happened. It''s best that you don''t go."


    "What?" Hearing the young lad''s words, Shen Jiaming was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "You saw it too?"


    "Look, what do you see?" The waiter was a little confused, not knowing what Shen Jiaming meant by that.


    Shen Jiaming pointed to the window of the hotel and asked him: "Earlier, there were a lot of people surrounding the entrance, did you see it too?"


    The waiter nodded and honestly told Shen Jiaming, "Yes, I saw it too. Every night, there will be a lot of people surrounding the inn''s entrance. They would fight with each other and make trouble every night. Some of them didn''t care and didn''t pay. They just ran to the second floor of the inn and stepped on the stairs. When I asked them to accompany me, they ignored me and rushed to the second floor. I don''t know what they went to do on the second floor. "


    Shen Jiaming was very surprised, he never thought that he would meet someone who could see ghosts like him. He looked with surprise at the ordinary-looking youngster in front of him and asked curiously, "Since you saw them rushing to the second floor, aren''t you curious enough to follow them and see what they are doing?"


    He wanted to ask this half-grown young man if he had seen the deep ravine on the second floor, and if he had seen those ghosts desperately jumping into the sea of fire there.


    After the waiter heard Shen Jiaming''s question, he honestly shook his head and said: "I have never seen it before. My job is to take care of the front desk, I cannot leave my job. Besides, those people who charged up are all fighting each other and not giving up on each other. I am so skinny, I don''t dare to go up and fight, much less go up and watch. "


    Hearing his words, Shen Jiaming couldn''t help but want to roll her eyes. He was just a receptionist. When he saw a stranger rush to the second floor of the inn, he was actually too scared to care?


    However, Shen Jiaming was glad that this waiter was a coward. If he was brave enough to go up to the second floor and see all those scenes that he had seen before, he would have definitely been scared to death.


    Although he was thinking that, he didn''t have the mood to continue talking to the waiter, because Sheng Jiuzhou was still standing at the door of the inn. Since it was already the middle of the night, he had to pull her back.


    He ignored the worried waiter behind him and continued to walk towards Sheng Jiuzhou. Pushing open the door, the air outside was exceptionally cool. Shen Jiaming immediately felt his entire being become refreshed, and even the coldness in his body earlier became comfortable.


    When Sheng Jiuzhou heard the voice coming from the door, he did not turn his head back, but raised his head and looked towards the mountain. Shen Jiaming also looked over. It was pitch black and he couldn''t see anything.


    He called out to her, "Ah Jiu, I heard that it''s already past midnight, let''s go back to sleep!"


    Sheng Jiuzhou ignored Shen Jiaming, and continued to maintain his position of gazing into the distance with his head tilted upwards.


    Shen Jiaming called out to her again, and she slowly turned around to look at Shen Jiaming, and said two words, "Sand Hill."


    The two words that came out of her mouth were so sudden that they seemed to have nothing to do with each other. Shen Jiaming was stunned for a moment and reacted for a long time, but was unable to think of what Sheng Jiuzhou meant.


    Sheng Jiuzhou repeated those two words again, "Sand Hill".


    Shen Jiaming was a little puzzled. He kept thinking that the word "Sand Hill" was very familiar to him, just that he couldn''t think of it right now. He thought about it briefly, then suddenly remembered where he had heard of this "Sand Hill" before. It was not that long ago, when he was watching TV with Sheng Jiuzhou, the television mentioned that there were tourists that saw the mountain of purple fog.


    "Ah Jiu, are you talking about Sand Hill?"


    Sheng Jiuzhou nodded his head, obviously he had guessed correctly this time.


    Shen Jiaming frowned, shook his head and said: "Ah Jiu, the Sand Hill you speak of is Pingling City? But this place is not the Pingling City, and I don''t know what the mountain here is called either. "


    Sheng Jiuzhou slowly turned his head to look at Shen Jiaming, and stubbornly said two words, "Sand Hill!"


    "Huh?" Shen Jiaming was a little stunned, then thinking about it, he had only heard of Pingling City Sand Mountain, so he had never gone there. However, he remembered that the one on the Pingling City was not here. The city on the Master Liao and the one on the Pingling City were two entirely different cities.


    However, Sheng Jiuzhou stubbornly said the word "Sand Hill".


    Shen Jiaming coaxed her happily and assured her with a raise of his hand, "Ah Jiu, don''t worry. After we finish visiting this Master Liao, I will definitely bring you to the Sand Hill, don''t worry."


    As if hearing Shen Jiaming''s guarantee, Sheng Jiuzhou didn''t persist any longer and turned to follow Shen Jiaming back to the inn. When they walked past the front desk, Shen Jiaming subconsciously looked at the front desk. There were two older female attendants sitting and napping on their chairs, there were no signs of the young lad he saw previously.


    The young man, he thought, had probably gone to the back.


    Shen Jiaming was not hungry at all. He had prepared instant noodles and ham for Zhu Minghui and Zhu Minghui, but the two of them actually did not eat it.


    Shen Jiaming thought before he went to sleep, but he didn''t know where the little boy that came with him went.

 C66

    The next day, Shen Jiaming woke up early. Right after he woke up, Zhu Minghui woke up. Shen Jiaming and Zhu Minghui had known each other for more than ten years. Seeing his appearance, Shen Jiaming had an idea in his heart, "You haven''t slept an entire night, right?"


    Zhu Minghui laughed, rubbed his swollen eyes and joked: "Brother Shen, you sure are carefree, after everything that happened last night, you can actually sleep so peacefully?"


    Last night, Shen Jiaming not only saw a group of people that others couldn''t see, but the time they were talking about had also instantly changed from afternoon to midnight. When Zhu Minghui found out that the time had changed in the blink of an eye, he was stupefied. He was stunned for a good few minutes before waking up from his shock.


    It was just that he did not expect Shen Jiaming to accept this matter so naturally. He even bought instant noodles and ham for him and Sheng Jiuzhou to make up for their dinner.


    It''s all like this? How could he be in the mood to eat? How big exactly was his Brother Shen''s Heart?


    When Shen Jiaming said this, Shen Jiaming also felt that he accepted it too quickly. He accepted this kind of thing, just like when he first accepted Sheng Jiuzhou to stay in his house.


    He innocently stroked his short hair, a little embarrassed. "Ming Hui, I was the one who dragged you into these strange things. I''m probably already used to it. I really had a good night''s sleep last night."


    "Brother Shen, I used to think that what you said might not be true. Perhaps you have mental illness. I will tell you the truth, although I helped you find this Master Liao, but at the same time I asked a lot of psychiatrists and told them about your situation. Many of them had speculated based on your performance. Maybe it was because the Brother Fatty died too suddenly, you couldn''t accept it for a while, so they came up with the hypothesis that they could see ghosts and also see the Fatty. Actually, I only wanted to accompany you to see this Master Liao. After calming your heart, I wanted to bring you to see a doctor. It''s just that, last night, I had to doubt the sudden change in time. I wonder, am I as sick as you, or is there really something in this world that science can''t solve? "Really, I can''t explain it myself now, nor do I know how to explain it properly. Perhaps, we were wrong, you really encountered something strange, you really saw a ghost."


    Initially, Zhu Minghui was skeptical that he could see ghosts with Shen Jiaming, but he had to believe it now, and think about how likely this would happen.


    Shen Jiaming also knew that Zhu Minghui''s suspicions were correct, he had suspected him before too. However, all sorts of indications indicated that what he suspected was true, he could definitely see ghosts.


    After the two of them had a simple wash up, Shen Jiaming went out of the room to call Sheng Jiuzhou. When Sheng Jiuzhou came out, he was wearing the kind of little princess clothes that Shen Jiaming bought before, looking pure and cute.


    Zhu Minghui had already seen Sheng Jiuzhou wearing such clothes several times, and after confirming that it was Shen Jiaming who bought it, he had even mocked her taste, "Big brother, your little sister here is already more than 20 years old. Although she hasn''t gone to work, she is actually already a big girl, and there are many girls that are older than her that are all dressed up.


    Shen Jiaming thought about it, and felt that the clothes he bought for Sheng Jiuzhou last time was indeed a little monotonous. He was still waiting for some time to take Sheng Jiuzhou to buy clothes again. However, he didn''t expect to find out that he could see ghosts later on. Even until today, he still hadn''t been able to make it out.


    Seeing Sheng Jiuzhou coming out, Shen Jiaming asked her, "Ah Jiu, how was your sleep last night?"


    He was actually a little worried that Sheng Jiuzhou would be like him, but when he realised that the time was wrong, he was too scared to sleep. After all, he was a man. Although he could live under the same roof as Sheng Jiuzhou, he definitely could not live in the same room. He was a little regretful that he had agreed to bring Sheng Jiuzhou along yesterday. He didn''t know what kind of person that legendary Master Liao was and whether or not he had some true ability.


    This inn provided breakfast, a very simple breakfast, rice porridge, steamed buns, and a few small dishes. When the three of them sat down, Sheng Jiuzhou''s expression immediately collapsed.


    "No meat."


    Shen Jiaming placed her share in front of her, and advised her in a small voice, "Ah Jiu, can you support her for now? We''re outside right now, so we can''t find any meat for now."


    Sheng Jiuzhou did not say anything, and quietly put down his chopsticks.


    Shen Jiaming sighed. This child, if he didn''t have meat, he wouldn''t eat. In the end, Shen Jiaming had no choice but to tear down the ham sausage, allowing Sheng Jiuzhou to deal with it.


    Sheng Jiuzhou seemed to be very uninterested in the ham, but in the end he still reluctantly drank half a bowl of porridge with the ham.


    After the three of them finished dinner, Shen Jiaming went to the front desk to check out the room. Zhu Minghui also followed along, and in the end, even reminded them, "Brother Shen, let''s not check out.


    When he thought about how he didn''t even have an extra room yesterday, Zhu Minghui started to prepare for a rainy day.


    Although Shen Jiaming was a little afraid when he thought of the scene he saw on the second floor yesterday, what Zhu Minghui had said made some sense. The two rooms in his hands did not retreat, and another day passed.


    As he was talking to the waiter at the front desk, he suddenly thought of that half-grown young man he met last night and started to chat with him, "All of you waiters are quite young, yesterday I saw a young man of about seventeen or eighteen on duty. What if something happens in the middle of the night? "


    Shen Jiaming was thinking about something that happened during the night, like the young lad from last night. He probably didn''t have the guts to go upstairs and check the situation.


    The receptionist, who was doing the procedures for Shen Jiaming, was startled, and asked: "A seventeen or eighteen year old lad on the night shift? We don''t have such a big receptionist here. "


    "How is this possible? I talked to him last night at twelve in the morning. " Shen Jiaming was also startled, but after thinking about it, maybe his age was wrong. He might look young, but he was already an adult.


    "No, our hotel has Sister Li and Sister Zhao on duty last night. There can''t be men." Because they live in stores and don''t need to go home, they''re the ones who work the night shift, and there aren''t any men at all. "


    Shen Jiaming was stunned, there was no one like that? Then who was the person that spoke to him last night?

    Shen Jiaming looked at the front desk clerk who helped him reshuffle his room in shock, and asked again in disbelief, "You really don''t have a front desk attendant that tall, that looks very young?"


    The waiter definitely shook his head and told Shen Jiaming, "No."


    Shen Jiaming did not believe him, so he asked the receptionist to think about it again, "Can you think about it again? He also told me that the security here is not good. A while ago, there was a robbery and someone died. "


    The waiter who was listening to Shen Jiaming immediately had a bitter face, and shook his head, "Sir, what nonsense are you talking about? Our shop has always been a good place for the police, to the left and right of 500 meters is the police station, we have a police officer protecting us, who would dare not to look, robbing here is simply courting death."


    Shen Jiaming was at a loss for words, unable to say anything.


    At this time, the waiter who was standing in front of the computer suddenly opened his mouth, "Six years ago, there was indeed a robbery in our shop. At that time, the night clerk was named Zou, only 19 years old. "After that, the murderer was arrested and sentenced to death. After that, there was a police station next to our hotel."


    Shen Jiaming was stunned, it turned out that the person he met last night was not someone who could see ghosts like him, but was someone who had already died. No wonder the young man could see the shadows. He was already dead.


    He must have been like a little boy, unaware that he was dead. His memories were still from six years ago.


    Before Shen Jiaming left, he did not see that young lad in the main hall of the inn. He sighed, maybe he did not know that he had died, and that was good news, at least he wouldn''t emit black Qi like the little boy.


    This was the first time he had learned about ghosts, and he had no experience in this area. He did not know what he should do when he encountered ghosts like these. He decided that when he saw the Master Liao, he would ask him if he realized the truth. He would ask him if a ghost didn''t know that he had died.


    After Shen Jiaming packed his stuff and brought Zhu Minghui and Sheng Jiuzhou away, the two waiters at the front desk looked at each other in dismay.


    The two of them looked at each other for a long time before one of them spoke, "Tell me, was what that mister said true?"


    "What do you mean?" One of the waiters pretended to be calm, but his hands were shaking as he tapped the computer on the front desk.


    The waiter who spoke up said, "He was the one who mentioned six years ago... About the man who was killed. You said he didn''t seem to have been on this side, and that the case six years ago had only been reported in the papers. "He''s an outsider. Would he try to scare us with such a thing?"


    "So what?" The waiter, who pretended to be calm, continued to look at his computer screen. However, the hand tapping on the keyboard had already stopped. He did not press another button.


    "Tell me, since he was able to explain the situation so clearly and also stated the physical appearance of the victim, did he really see him last night? Is the man who died six years ago still in our inn? " At the thought of such a possibility, the waiter suddenly shivered. He looked around randomly with an uneasy look on his face.


    Another receptionist suddenly spoke up, interrupting her, "Enough, let''s get to work!"


    She looked calm, as if she didn''t believe it, but her fingers, resting on the keyboard of the front desk computer, were still motionless. Her eyes were fixed on her computer screen, and she froze.


    That was because in the reflection of her computer screen, there was a person, a seventeen or eighteen year old boy, wearing the uniform of the receptionist.


    He just stood there quietly with a lost look in his eyes and a puzzled expression on his face. The waitress sitting in front of the computer screen did not dare to move, nor did she dare to look at the reflection on the screen, much less turn her head to check if there was anyone behind her.


    This was because their inn''s lobby was very small. Directly opposite the entrance, behind the front desk, was a wall. The wall was just a seat away from the front desk. It was impossible for her to stand behind the chair she was sitting on, let alone see the reflection of someone''s figure on the computer screen.


    Her fingers froze in place, and she knew she had seen a ghost, a man who had died six years ago, in the reflection of a computer screen, just like the gentleman who had left.


    After a long while, she felt that her body was about to become stiff. She struggled to speak, and asked her colleague, "Tell me, do we, the Master Liao in this mountain, have succeeded or not?"


    Our inn has been open for a long time, and I heard that ten years ago, it was because of the number of people visiting the Master Liao that there were so many of them in the vicinity. However, for some unknown reason, these past few years, only our family''s business has been flourishing, and we have been overcrowded. The other families'' hotels have all turned yellow due to various reasons. "Oh right, you should have come here before me to work. Why did you ask me this question today?"


    "N-nothing, just watching so many people visit the Master Liao every day, I''m really curious as to whether this master is really intelligent or not. If there is, I want to ask for a peace talisman to avoid evil and bless my safety ¡­" As she said this, she suddenly stopped talking. She stared at her computer screen in horror, so nervous that she forgot to breathe.


    The attendant who was talking to her soon noticed her abnormality and asked in surprise, "What''s wrong?" Why is he suddenly acting like a fool and not saying anything? "


    The waitress in front of the computer screen did not move, but her eyes were wide open with fear and a ferocious look.


    She saw the man who had died six years ago approaching her from behind. He quickly moved behind her chair, raised his hand, and patted her on her forehead and shoulders.


    She felt cold all over, and she couldn''t even cry out if she wanted to.


    Behind that young man stood a young boy who looked to be about five to six years old. He had his head upturned and had an innocent and innocent smile on his face ¡­


    Ah!" The waiter finally cried out and his entire body fell to the ground.


    The colleague next to her rushed over to help her up, and hurriedly asked her, "What''s wrong with you? What''s going on? "


    She carefully supported her colleague who had fallen to the ground. Lowering her head, she suddenly discovered that there was a grey handprint on her left shoulder.


    His five fingers were clearly visible.

    Shen Jiaming brought Zhu Minghui and the others and got into the car. He drove his GPS navigation system, and just as he was about to start the car, he accidentally looked at the map on the car and was surprised.


    Zhu Minghui was still sitting in the backseat. Because of the incident of Fatty and Shen Jiaming getting into a car accident, he had already developed the habit of fastening his seat belt. Just as he fastened his seat belt, he heard Shen Jiaming shouting in surprise. He turned his head and asked in fear, "Brother Shen, what''s wrong? What happened now? "Could it be that ¡­"


    He glanced at Sheng Jiuzhou, who was sitting on the front passenger seat, and did not finish saying the words "saw a ghost again". After all, Sheng Jiuzhou did not know anything about Shen Jiaming seeing ghosts.


    Shen Jiaming and Zhu Minghui had been brothers for many years, so of course they had a tacit understanding. With just a glance, he knew what Zhu Minghui meant. He quickly shook his head and said, "Nothing, just a little surprised. This place was actually only a single mountain range away from Pingling City, and after passing through this mountain range, they would arrive at Pingling City Realm. I thought this place and Pingling City were two different cities, but how could it be so far away? "


    "Pingling City Sand Mountain? It was just a while ago that a purple fog''s Sand Hill appeared? "


    Shen Jiaming said: "You heard of it too?" He smiled and pointed to Sheng Jiuzhou who was standing beside him, "My little sister, a little girl, actually wanted to take a look when she heard that it was a fun thing with Sand Hill. Well, too many things have happened lately, and I haven''t been able to take her out. Are you interested? "Are you interested in us?


    Zhu Minghui went along with Shen Jiaming''s words and sized him up. The girl quietly sat down on her seat. She was very obedient, as if she was completely different from the black-clothed person he had seen in the corridor last night.


    He thought for a bit, and finally couldn''t resist talking to Sheng Jiuzhou, "Little girl, look at you, I, your brother Zhu am not an outsider, right? You don''t have to be so quiet and not talk to me. Oh yeah, where did you buy that black outfit you were wearing last night? It''s so cool, just like those female celebrities on TV! "


    When he finished speaking, Sheng Jiuzhou had already stopped speaking, and was even resting his head on the back of the chair with his eyes closed. He simply did not understand them.


    Zhu Minghui was completely speechless. He looked at Shen Jiaming with a wronged expression, hoping that Shen Jiaming would come out and smooth things over for him. But Shen Jiaming kept his head down, staring at the map on the GPS. He did not know what he was studying.


    He called out to him, "Brother Shen, what are you researching?"


    "It''s nothing. I just looked at the map and found that this inn is at a crossroads."


    This intersection was a peaceful crossroads formed by the movements of the mountain range. In the entire region, only this inn was located at this intersection, so its location was extremely strange. Remembering the thing that looked like "hell" that he saw last night, Shen Jiaming suddenly realized that this could be the intersection between the ghost and the underworld. Otherwise, why would this inn, which had clearly been renovated after only two years of rest, become like this in such a short period of time? Moreover, from the attitude of the waiters, it could be seen that they were not surprised by the speed at which the store was being damaged. They were probably used to it.


    Shen Jiaming felt that he seemed to have discovered an incredible matter. He actually discovered the entrance to the "hell"?


    On a whim, he looked at the map on the navigation tool again. Suddenly, he realized that the direction of the Pingling City Sand Mountain was moving towards the mountain range at this crossroad. He recalled the legend of the "purple fog", and a strange thought vaguely appeared in his mind. He thought, "Could that" purple fog "be related to the" hell "as well?


    After all, he couldn''t sit still and let his imagination run wild. After making his decision, Shen Jiaming started the car, and followed the road up the mountain to the top of the mountain.


    The Master Liao lived at the top of the mountain. The mountain was very steep, but luckily a path was built there so one could drive there.


    Zhu Minghui looked out the window at the lush and verdant forest, and said to Shen Jiaming and Sheng Jiuzhou: "Come, come, come, since you''re bored, let me tell you a legend of this mountain. Ten-odd years ago, there were still no Master Liao on this mountain. I heard that the town''s government wanted to develop this mountain as a tourist attraction several times, but they always stopped working at the end of the day for various reasons. The most inexplicable reason was that no matter what tree was planted on this mountain, it would die the next day without a single one surviving. At first, he thought it was a matter of water and soil, so he invited a lot of experts to test the composition of the soil and to treat it. However, it was still ineffective for several years. Later on, the town government gave up on the opening of the mountain and planned it to be a natural scenery of the city without artificial interference. Of course, if they came here to climb the mountain, they would not have to pay the entrance fee. "


    "I don''t know when, but the rumor about a Master Liao on the mountain spread, or whether or not this Master Liao was very reliable. As long as there''s something you need to find him for, there''s nothing you can''t do. Because this was a feudal superstition, but the people could not believe it. More and more people believed it. Don''t say it, I don''t know if it''s because the soil and water governance worked in the past few years, or if it''s because of some other reason, but in short, all the trees planted this time are alive, and some of the trees even lived for decades from elsewhere. "


    "Because of this, many people believe in the Master Liao even more. They think that the Master Liao came and did something to this mountain, that''s why the feng shui of this mountain became better, and why the trees survived. As a result, an endless stream of people came to visit the Master Liao. They did not expect that, with so many people coming to visit the Master Liao, why was there only one inn at the bottom of the mountain? "It''s clear that there are not enough rooms, and there are also empty rooms on the side. Why aren''t there any other inns that come over to steal business?"


    When Shen Jiaming heard the legends regarding this mountain and the Master Liao, and then thought of that hell''s "hell", he thought that maybe it was not because no one wanted to snatch the inn''s business from him, but because the location was really special. Only the inn at the "Crossroads" would insist on running this place, so the other shops might have opened before, but they had already failed.


    Perhaps, the reason why he was able to open this inn was not because of the lack of a price. It was because six years ago, a murder case had been committed and the "blood sacrifice" had been made to that "hell".


    After all, it was not easy to survive in such a place, and even the corridor on the second floor was an inn of hell.

    The car drove for a long time before it circled up the mountain road. Halfway there, Shen Jiaming suddenly felt an unbearable pain in his eyes. Unable to take it anymore, he stopped the car and told Zhu Minghui to drive.


    The two of them changed seats. Zhu Minghui, however, had Shen Jiaming''s body condition, and coincidentally, he had eye drops in his bag. He directly gave them to Shen Jiaming to let him take a few drops to comfortably his eyes.


    Shen Jiaming dropped a few drops, closed his eyes, and only felt that the scene before him was filled with a dazzling, and extremely uncomfortable, golden light. This golden light gave him the illusion that he had seen the golden threads on Sheng Jiuzhou''s bright red ancient clothing before. The light in front of his eyes was constantly moving and changing in an unpredictable manner. It seemed to be vaguely forming into some kind of shape.


    Shen Jiaming closed his eyes, wanting to clearly see what shape these golden rays of light had formed. However, no matter how hard he tried, how much he tried, he couldn''t see anything clearly.


    He focused on the golden threads for a long time. Finally, he couldn''t take it anymore and was about to open his eyes to stop studying them when he realized that he couldn''t open his own eyelids. It was as if his eyes had been glued together by glue and were extremely uncomfortable.


    Ah!" He couldn''t help but cry out, and the more he cried, the more he felt that he was in extreme pain. His two hands desperately waved back and forth.


    He didn''t know how much time had passed, but he felt extremely uncomfortable. It was not the discomfort of the pain in his body, as if he was wearing a sweater upside down. No matter how he stayed, he would feel uncomfortable.


    It truly was very, very painful. Who could save him? Who could save him? It was fine as long as only one person came. No matter who it was, they could only save him ¡­


    "..."


    "Brother Shen? Brother Shen? Wake up, don''t sleep anymore, we are in Master Liao''s territory. " Zhu Minghui stopped his car, looked at the high gate compound, and could not help but exclaim: "Fuck, there are so many people, do we have to queue here? With so many people, how many months do we need to line up? Brother Shen, stop sleeping and get up quickly. We are going to line up, hey hey ¡­ "


    Shen Jiaming could hear Zhu Minghui calling him again, and he could even see the situation in the car. When he turned his head, he could see the long line of people outside, but he just could not wake up.


    He floated for a long time before he realized that he wasn''t sitting on the seat at all. He was floating on the roof of the shed, and from his angle, he could even see himself sitting in the car.


    Sheng Jiuzhou had already gotten onto the car from the front seat, his back facing the car as he looked at the long line of people. Zhu Minghui jumped over the front row of seats and reached out to stop him, trying to wake him up.


    Shen Jiaming used a lot of strength. Shen Jiaming could feel that he was pushing him, but even though he had a sense of touch, he saw the moment he was pushed from a third party''s point of view. He wanted to call Zhu Minghui, but Zhu Minghui was unable to hear his voice, and even more, because of his worry, he already got off the car. He opened the back door, and directly called Shen Jiaming, "Brother Shen? Brother Shen? Stop sleeping! Get up quickly! Are you not feeling well? "


    He even reached out his hand and touched Shen Jiaming''s forehead. His body''s characteristics were all normal, and he did not look sick. Other than hearing that his eyes were sore, Zhu Minghui could not think of anything else wrong with Shen Jiaming.


    Shen Jiaming who was floating inside the carriage remembered to walk around. With a struggle, he was like a balloon, floating out of the carriage. Shen Jiaming was shocked, he did not expect him to actually get out of the car. He felt cold and uncomfortable as the cold wind blew on him. He was a little worried, afraid that he would fly into the sky like a real hydrogen balloon. He was also afraid that he would be blown away by the wind at the top of the mountain.


    He floated outside the car, feeling extremely nervous. He was afraid that if he was blown away by the wind, he would never come back, and that would be the end of him. Just then, Sheng Jiuzhou who was outside the carriage suddenly turned his head, raised his head and looked up, and landed on Shen Jiaming''s body.


    When Shen Jiaming saw Sheng Jiuzhou, he yelled at Sheng Jiuzhou for help as if his life was on the line. He knew that Sheng Jiuzhou couldn''t see him, maybe she just happened to glance at the sky, maybe she had some sort of reaction before looking over. However, just because she could not hear him did not mean that Shen Jiaming would give up the opportunity to ask for help. He didn''t care whether Sheng Jiuzhou could hear or see, he just instinctively asked for help, hoping that someone would come to save him ¡­


    Sheng Jiuzhou''s gaze fell on the place he was floating in, and did not leave him for a long time as she continued to look at him.


    Shen Jiaming suddenly opened her eyes. Zhu Minghui was bending her waist and pushing him, telling him to wake up. Sheng Jiuzhou was standing outside the carriage with her back facing the carriage.


    He moved and finally regained his senses. Letting out a long breath, he shouted in a hoarse voice, "It''s suffocating!"


    Zhu Minghui found it strange and asked him, "Brother Shen, what''s wrong?"


    "I, I just had a nightmare. I saw my soul float out and was almost blown away by the wind."


    Zhu Minghui burst into laughter after hearing this, to the point where he couldn''t help but cover his stomach, "Brother Shen, didn''t you sleep very well last night? How did it become like this? A car like this can actually cause nightmares? "


    Shen Jiaming actually felt that he was no longer a nightmare just now, and that his real soul might have left his body. This was because when he was floating in the air, he could feel Zhu Minghui''s touch, and he could also feel himself sitting on a chair, and he could even feel the feeling of the wind blowing past him outside. That kind of terrifying feeling where he was about to be blown away, was something that he couldn''t forget even if he wanted to.


    Zhu Minghui did not expect Shen Jiaming to still be in a daze, he reached out and pushed him, and anxiously said: "Brother Shen, stop standing there, let''s get out of the car quickly. "Look, there are so many people lining up outside. If we were a bit later, we probably wouldn''t have been able to line up even if it got dark today."


    Shen Jiaming moved his stiff body, and followed Zhu Minghui out of the car. He had just got out of the car, when he suddenly turned to ask Zhu Minghui, "Where''s Ah Jiu?"


    "Huh?" Zhu Minghui was startled for a moment, and then he turned to look in the direction where Sheng Jiuzhou was standing just now. There was no trace of Sheng Jiuzhou at this time, and the little girl had ran off to who knows where.


    Shen Jiaming and Zhu Minghui were both looking for Sheng Jiuzhou, there were a lot of people standing in front waiting to see Master Liao, there were a sea of people, and the two of them couldn''t even see the entrance, it was completely blocked by a black mass of people.


    However, the two of them were not in the mood to look at the door, because even after searching through the vicinity, they could not find any trace of Sheng Jiuzhou.


    Sheng Jiuzhou vanished into thin air.

 C70

    Sheng Jiuzhou had disappeared. Just as Shen Jiaming and Zhu Minghui were talking, she had disappeared without a trace. Who knew where she had gone.


    Zhu Minghui was furious to the point that he complained, "Brother Shen, it''s not that I''m talking about your little sister, but look at her. She''s in her twenties already, she''s not some little kid. With so many people, how are we supposed to find her? "


    While he was complaining, Shen Jiaming kept dialing Sheng Jiuzhou''s number. However, her cell phone rang inside the car.


    She didn''t bring her cell phone at all.


    Sheng Jiuzhou had disappeared, and Shen Jiaming was also worried. This place was not their city and he was also a foreigner. He was unfamiliar with the place, even if Sheng Jiuzhou walked around randomly, he did not know how he should find her.


    Seeing that Shen Jiaming''s face was also filled with anxiety, Zhu Minghui could not help but continue to mutter, "Brother Shen, just what relation is this sister of yours? "Why are you acting so poorly? You are truly infuriating!"


    "Ming Hui, don''t say anymore. As matters are right now, finding her is more important. After all, she is only a little girl. In this place that we are not familiar with, if I were to encounter anything, I would be guilty."


    Because they wanted to find Sheng Jiuzhou, the two of them did not have the mood to queue in front of the Master Liao''s doorstep, nor did they have the time to wonder whether or not they would be able to see Sheng Jiuzhou today.


    The mountain the Master Liao resided on was very special. The mountain was very steep. However, the peak of the mountain was surprisingly flat. It was very sudden, as if it had been cut by a huge knife. He had no idea how such a mountain peak was formed.


    Shen Jiaming made Zhu Minghui wait for him at the same place, he followed a mountain path and went around to look for Sheng Jiuzhou.


    "Ah Jiu? Ah Jiu? Where are you? Where did you go? "Come back quickly!"


    He looked around and did not see any trace of Sheng Jiuzhou. Just as he was frowning and frowning, he suddenly raised his head and saw a very familiar man.


    This man stood with his hands behind his back. He was very quiet as his gaze landed on a distance away. As for what exactly he was looking at, Shen Jiaming did not know. The reason why Shen Jiaming noticed this man was entirely because this man looked as flat as this mountain. This was because he did not go to the entrance of the Master Liao to line up nor did he stand at the place where all the cars were parked. He was even quite far from the only convenience store on the mountain.


    He was standing right there, and the onlookers could not see his purpose in standing there.


    This was the first time Shen Jiaming saw him, but Shen Jiaming felt that it was strange. When he looked at this man, he felt that he looked extremely familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. However, for a moment, he couldn''t remember where he had seen this man before.


    The man standing there seemed to have noticed Shen Jiaming''s gaze, he turned and looked at him, and nodded slightly, as a form of greeting to Shen Jiaming.


    Shen Jiaming looked around and saw that there were no other people around, only him and this man. Hence, he walked over to greet him and asked, "Sir, did you see a twenty year old girl here?


    The man revealed a puzzled expression as he looked at Shen Jiaming warily, but did not say a word.


    Shen Jiaming thought that they might have misunderstood what kind of villain he was and quickly explained, "Sir, sir, I was looking for my sister. My sister came with me, but the two of us ended up separated. She should be somewhere nearby, a little girl. I''m sure she''s not far away.


    Shen Jiaming felt that Sheng Jiuzhou''s characteristics should be very obvious. His age, appearance, and clothes, if someone had seen her before, they would definitely be deeply impressed. However, he had searched the entire way just now, and even went to the extent of flipping through the entire queue at the entrance of the Master Liao s, but he did not find anyone who saw Sheng Jiuzhou.


    He was a little afraid that Sheng Jiuzhou would encounter some bad guy and be immediately kidnapped.


    The man''s expression softened. "I''m sorry I didn''t see the man you were looking for."


    Shen Jiaming nodded, thanked the man and turned to leave. Before leaving, he suddenly asked, "Sir, did we meet before? I always thought you looked familiar."


    Shen Jiaming had climbed up and fought in the market for many years, his memory was extraordinary. Most people he met, he could remember them all. Thus, he was certain that he had seen this person before. However, he was truly unable to recall where he had seen him before.


    The man laughed and said: "Mr. Shen, your memory is indeed extraordinary. I think we''ve met before, at my brother''s hospital."


    With his reminder, Shen Jiaming immediately remembered that this man was the doctor in white that he bumped into the last time he went to see a therapist.


    The man introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Liao Youliang. Mr. Shen doesn''t mind that I know your name because you were introduced to me by my younger brother''s classmate. At that time, I casually asked, "My brother only told me that your surname is Shen."


    Although this was said, Shen Jiaming still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Seeing a psychiatrist and keeping the patient secret are the basic professional principles of a doctor. But the doctor he saw told his brother his name. He probably didn''t mention his illness, but it still made people feel uncomfortable.


    Liao Youliang only stood there, the expression on his face was light, and there was no sense of guilt at all. Shen Jiaming really did not like this kind of person. He suddenly recalled that this person''s surname was also ''Liao'', and was of the same surname as the Master Liao.


    He curiously asked, "Mr. Liao, why are you here?"


    Liao Youliang said, "I''m here to see uncle. I didn''t expect my uncle''s business to be so hot. I got bored waiting and came out to relax."


    Shen Jiaming was startled and quickly said: "You are Master Liao''s nephew? Master Liao, he ¡­ Is it true that he was very successful in that respect? "


    Liao Youliang looked into Shen Jiaming''s eyes, and only answered after a long while, "My uncle does have some skill in this area. However, this ability still depended on whether the person in question believed it or not. If he didn''t believe it, no one would believe my uncle even if he told them about the flowers. But if the client believes, even if my uncle doesn''t say anything, the client does. So, actually, I can ask Mr. Shen first, do you believe in these demons and devils? "


    Shen Jiaming stared at him vigilantly, and directly asked him, "Mr. Liao, what do you do?"


    "Me?" Liao Youliang''s attitude was amiable. "I''m a psychiatrist, but my family''s ancestors saw Feng Shui drive the ghosts."

 C71

    Liao Youliang looked at the dumbstruck Shen Jiaming and laughed, "Oh right, I haven''t asked, why did Mr. Shen come all the way here? "Is it a tourist or a fortune-teller?"


    Shen Jiaming stared at Liao Youliang, who was in front of him, and remained on his guard. He kept having the feeling that this man did not have any good intentions. However, since they had asked, he naturally had to answer politely.


    "Hearing that the Master Liao is very famous, I came to pay a visit. Since Mr. Liao is Master Liao''s nephew, I wonder if it would be convenient to make arrangements. There are too many people here who are waiting to see Master Liao. "


    Liao Youliang said, "Of course it''s okay. Mr. Shen is not an outsider, he''s my brother''s classmate''s friend and can be considered one of us. I''ll tell my uncle that he came to see you first."


    "Then I''ll be troubling Mr. Liao, but I still have to look for my sister first, she''s young, I don''t know where she''s going to play."


    "Alright, then leave me your contact information, I''ll give you a call when the time comes."


    After Shen Jiaming and Liao Youliang exchanged their cell numbers, they looked around for Sheng Jiuzhou, but there was still no progress. Just as he was about to explode in anger, his phone suddenly rang. It was Zhu Minghui.


    Zhu Minghui opened his mouth and said, "Brother Shen, your sister ¡­ She''s back. "


    "You mean Ah Jiu? Ah Jiu is back? When did she come back? Where did she go? I''ll be right back, wait for me! " After Shen Jiaming hung up the phone, he ran towards the direction of the parking lot. As he was running, he suddenly turned his head.


    Shen Jiaming did not bother to think about the weird Liao Youliang, and quickly ran towards the direction of the car park. He remembered that the parking lot was to the east. It had only been a few minutes since he had left the parking lot, but this time he had run for half a day without seeing the location of the parking lot.


    He stopped and frowned, wondering if he had run in the wrong direction. The peak of the mountain was as flat as before, as if something had cut into it. When Shen Jiaming stood and looked over, he suddenly froze. He remembered that when he walked up the mountain, he first saw a straight road, then a spacious parking lot. Not far away from the parking lot was the Master Liao''s tall courtyard, which had an ancient smell to it. He wondered if it was the old house that he had left behind previously, or the old house that he had built after the ancient times.


    But, at this moment, Shen Jiaming looked out. The entire mountain peak was empty, he could not see anything, not even the car park. He also did not see the Master Liao''s ancient looking old house. Shen Jiaming was a little stunned, he did not know whether it was because he went to the wrong place or some other reason.


    However, this was the place where the mountain was located. The mountain peak was only this big, and there were broken cliffs on its side. One could vaguely see the Pan Shan road beneath it. Even if he went the wrong way, it was impossible for everything around him to disappear.


    Shen Jiaming couldn''t help but be a little afraid. This kind of empty silence made him even more afraid. He knew that he could now see things that others couldn''t, so whenever something strange happened, he would try his best to convince himself to overcome his fear and face it bravely.


    However, the fear in his heart was impossible for him to overcome when he had the courage to do so. Yes, it was fear. Although he had seen many strange things in the past, he had never thought that his heart would be this afraid.


    Facing this empty mountain peak, Shen Jiaming felt an unprecedented fear. This fear was even more frightening than the time he fell from the cliff in a car accident. Right, the fear at this moment originated from deep within his bones. It was impossible to overcome, impossible to dispel. It was because he did not know if there was anything that made him afraid in this empty mountain peak.


    Often, when one could not find the source of one''s fear, it was actually something that caused one to be even more afraid.


    Shen Jiaming forced himself to take a deep breath, picked up his phone and dialed Zhu Minghui''s number. The phone was next to his ear. It was always noisy, but he couldn''t hear the normal ringtone. Shen Jiaming nervously swallowed his saliva, looked at his own phone, and immediately threw it out.


    Because he saw a face on his own cell phone, a swollen face with rotting features and a foul stench. His eyeballs were worn out, and he was looking at him across the screen of his cell phone.


    The noise he had heard earlier was the gurgling sound of the rotten, swollen face. Shen Jiaming panicked and quickly retreated, running far away from his phone. He never wanted to see his phone again in his life, nor did he want to see such a terrifying scene.


    Shen Jiaming ran aimlessly for a long distance until he confirmed that he could not see his phone. His legs felt numb, as though they were filled with lead. He was unable to move any further. He really didn''t want to run. He didn''t know where to run to and where to exit this circular mountain peak.


    Shen Jiaming really hated his ability to see ghosts and things that others couldn''t, which brought him too much trouble and inconvenience in his life. He thought, if he could really get out safely this time and see the legendary Master Liao, he would definitely beg the Master Liao to find a way to seal his eyes so that he wouldn''t be able to see these strange things again after settling the matters with the Fatty.


    Thinking about this was useless. What he needed to do now was to get out of this strange phenomenon. But how was he going to get out?


    Shen Jiaming racked his brains but still could not come up with a solution. He had even thought about all the ghost movies he had seen since he was young, but they were still useless to him. As expected, the television was transparent. Shen Jiaming felt that no matter what, he couldn''t stay in that place. Even if he was about to be hit by a ghost, he had to leave.


    Shen Jiaming had had enough rest, so he clenched his fists and punched his numb legs to find a direction to continue forward. He felt that the place he was currently at should still be the same mountain peak. It was just that he might have accidentally entered a strange place similar to the Wall-Hitting Ghost that he couldn''t get out of no matter how hard he tried. He knew that the scientific explanation of the Wall-Hitting Ghost meant that the human brain had been mistaken when judging a straight path, thinking that it was a straight line, but in reality, the path it was walking on was actually a detour.


    Shen Jiaming felt that he might be right in front of a car park, or in front of something. But there was something wrong with his eyes, he couldn''t see anything.


    He kept walking forward, but he did not know how far he had actually walked. He only raised his head, and saw the purple fog that was emitting from the sky.

 C72

    purple fog? There was actually a purple fog here?


    The purple fog was the fog that Sheng Jiuzhou had always wanted to see!


    A layer of purple fog rose from the east, slowly spreading and enveloping the entire mountaintop. He stood about five meters from the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain. He could clearly see the purple mist slowly approaching him, and the purple mist in front of his eyes became more and more clear.


    Shen Jiaming never thought that he would actually see such a rare sight in this kind of place. It was probably because the purple fog had once appeared on television before, but when Shen Jiaming saw the purple fog, he actually heaved a sigh of relief.


    Looking at the purple fog, he felt very comfortable and even had an illusion. He felt as if he was about to fly up with the purple fog floating in the sky. He was sure of that, and was sure that he would float with the purple fog in the sky, as if he had no weight.


    Shen Jiaming closed his eyes, immersed himself in the purple mist, and suddenly realized a problem. He was a human, a living person, how could he dare to imagine himself floating up with the purple fog?


    Realizing this, he immediately became spirited and wanted to open his eyes. Then he opened his eyes and found himself suspended in the air, above the blue sky, surrounded by purple mist, and below him by the lush green cliffs. He could even see him at the bottom of the cliff, lying on a flat, bare ground, his face facing up, but dressed exactly like himself.


    Shen Jiaming was a little afraid, and could not figure out what was going on. He thought back to when he had first driven up the mountain. He was like this, as if his soul had left him and his body had been left where he was.


    As he floated among the purple fog, he started to get scared. Because he felt that as the purple fog flowed, he also moved along with it, as if he was about to be carried away, and was moving further and further away from his body. Shen Jiaming was worried, if this was not a dream, and his soul truly came out of his body, and his soul was swept away by the strong wind, would he be unable to return to his body forever? Then, if that really was the case, would his body turn into a vegetable, or would he immediately die?


    Of course, Shen Jiaming also did not realize that under such a life-and-death situation, and even a situation of extreme fear, he could still think about this question calmly.


    His body continued to move forward with the purple fog, and it was unknown how much time had passed, or to be more precise, Shen Jiaming did not know whether he had floated forward, or backwards. It was unknown whether it was a minute, or just a second, but in short, he could no longer see his own body, and could only remain floating within the purple fog.


    After a long time, he had gotten used to the feeling of being high above him and seeing the scenery. This was because he had already seen the smooth and flat top of the mountain from the lush forest. This should be the place he was previously staying at, because he could already see the ancient house in Master Liao from the air.


    It was much clearer to look at the mansion from the air than when one stood on the ground and looked at its main entrance. This house should have been built a long time ago, because Shen Jiaming felt that the structure of this house was very similar to the structure of an ancient courtyard in Jiangnan. It was hard to tell from the gate that it took up half of the entire summit. The empty space between north, south, east and west was about the same size. Even the parking lot to the east seemed to have been calculated. It was a quarter of the distance between north, south, east and west.


    Shen Jiaming also realized that as he was floating above the purple fog, he could actually clearly see the car that was parked on the ground. It was as if he had eyes, and could immediately see Sheng Jiuzhou who was sitting in the car and playing with his phone, and Zhu Minghui who was standing outside the car making calls. Zhu Minghui placed the phone number beside his ear to listen, and it would repeat this action not long after. Shen Jiaming knew that he should be calling him again. However, his phone had already been thrown away, and even his own body had disappeared. There was no way for him to pick up the phone.


    When Shen Jiaming thought about this, his entire body seemed very calm, as if he could already accept that he had died like this. He was even staring at the big house in Master Liao with interest. However, after looking at it for a long time, he realized that something was amiss.


    When he and Zhu Minghui arrived, they stopped in front of Master Liao''s house. It was packed full of people, all of them looking for the Master Liao. But at this moment, when he looked down from the sky, there was no one at the entrance of Master Liao''s home. There was only his car in the car park.


    Shen Jiaming didn''t know whether the scene he saw in front of him was a dream or real one. He realized that he shouldn''t be staying in the purple fog any longer. He wanted to go back, he wanted to live, he didn''t want to die here.


    Perhaps because of the change in his state of mind, he suddenly felt that he had become heavier, and his entire body fell down from the sky. Yes, he fell down, falling straight down, not giving him any time to rest.


    Shen Jiaming realized that he had fallen and immediately felt that this time, he probably ¡­ He was really going to fall to his death.


    "..."


    "Hey, Brother Shen, wake up, wake up, we''re here! Damn, this Master Liao''s house is not bad.


    Shen Jiaming slowly opened his eyes and saw that Zhu Minghui was already standing outside the carriage, supporting the carriage with one hand as he praised Master Liao''s ancient looking house.


    Shen Jiaming panted heavily as he turned his head to look at Sheng Jiuzhou. He discovered that she was sitting obediently in the front passenger seat, with her head lowered as she played with her mobile, completely ignoring Zhu Minghui and not even sparing him a glance.


    Shen Jiaming rested for a long time before realizing that he had perhaps only been dreaming about those strange scenes, but he felt that what he felt just now was too real. It was so real that it didn''t seem like a dream at all.


    He leaned back in the backseat and slowly turned his head to look at the car next to theirs.


    The parking lot at the top of the hill was full of cars, but they all had one thing in common. They were covered with a thick layer of dust, as if no one had been around for decades.

 C73

    Zhu Minghui stood outside and stared at the huge house with his head raised, full of admiration and envy. He praised for a long time, but still did not see Shen Jiaming get off the carriage. He immediately turned his head and shouted towards Shen Jiaming, "Brother Shen, Brother Shen, quickly get off the carriage. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. This kind of Wealthy Class compound is definitely an antique. It''s hundreds of times better than the ones in TV dramas. This is really different from fake ones."


    "Ming Hui?" Just as Shen Jiaming was about to get off the car, he felt that his legs were filled with lead, as if he had run a marathon. He called out to Zhu Minghui and asked uncertainly, "Ming Hui, did our car just arrive here? Nothing else happened? "


    "Nothing happened. Our car just stopped and I didn''t expect there to be so many cars in this parking lot. I almost couldn''t find a parking space. Brother Shen, are you better? Are your eyes still hurting? "


    Only then did Shen Jiaming remember that his eyes had hurt and he had gotten the eye drops, so he had fallen asleep in the back of the car. Then, everything he saw just now was actually just a dream, he had never experienced it, and Sheng Jiuzhou had never left as well?


    He stretched his body and followed Zhu Minghui out of the car, then turned to look at the cars that were covered in dust and couldn''t help but to ask: "Why are all these cars covered in dust? How long had he been here? Could it be a scrap car? "


    "Ash? "What dust?" Zhu Minghui moved closer, and looked in the direction of Shen Jiaming''s gaze.


    Shen Jiaming pointed to a car, where the lid of the car was half a meter high, "There''s so much ash? Why hasn''t anyone come to clean up? "


    Zhu Minghui looked at the brand-new Mercedes-Benz, which had obviously just been washed recently. Its hood was shining brightly, and the reflection of its light could clearly be seen on a person''s face. He looked at Shen Jiaming in horror and shook his head: "Brother Shen, have you seen something you shouldn''t have?"


    Shen Jiaming was startled, he did not expect that when the cars in the car park became ash, Zhu Minghui could not see them at all. He looked at the cars and an idea suddenly occurred to him. He quickly went to find his phone and wanted to make a phone call. After searching for a long time, he still could not find his phone. He did not know when his phone dropped.


    Zhu Minghui saw that Shen Jiaming was in a hurry to use his mobile phone, so he handed it over. Shen Jiaming took it, and called the vehicle number inquiry platform, and told him the license numbers of one of the grey cars, and received the reply: "Hello Sir, I''m sorry to trouble you with your query number, please confirm before you try again."


    Because it was a hands-off attack, Zhu Minghui had also heard it. He was immediately shocked and turned to ask Shen Jiaming, "Brother Shen, what does that mean? "Does that mean all the vehicles we see on the road are fake plates?"


    Zhu Minghui would rather these cars with no numbers to be fake, at least it would be better than these cars with spiritual events!


    However, it was clear that Shen Jiaming gave Zhu Minghui a terrifying answer. Because Shen Jiaming pointed to the ancient looking Liao Family Big House and said: "There are so many people queuing at the entrance, we don''t know how long we will have to line up for."


    "People? Brother Shen? From where? " Zhu Minghui was already on the verge of tears. Although he had followed Shen Jiaming here and was mentally prepared, he had never thought that they would meet a ghost even when they had already reached the entrance of Master Liao''s home.


    Shen Jiaming was also startled. He looked at the Liao Family gate which was filled with people, those who were lining up seemed to be very normal, there were no black Qi on their body, and he could not tell that they were different from each other. If Zhu Minghui had not said that there was no one at the gate, he would not have thought that these people who lined up were ghosts.


    When the people at the end of the line saw Shen Jiaming and Zhu Minghui, some of the "people" even waved to them enthusiastically, meaning for them to come over and queue up as well.


    Of course, Zhu Minghui had seen it, so he could only face this kind of awkwardness.


    Suddenly, the car door behind them opened, and Sheng Jiuzhou walked out from the front passenger seat. Shen Jiaming curiously turned his head to look at her. When he turned his head to look at the "people" standing in line again, those people had all left.


    Zhu Minghui was still grinning, trying very hard to imagine the scene of a group of ghosts in front of him.


    Zhu Minghui immediately cried out in fright, and when he realized that Shen Jiaming was patting his shoulder, he started to complain, "Brother Shen, Brother Shen, you are really too scary, you ¡­ You scared me to death. I thought I had met a ghost! "


    Shen Jiaming truthfully said, "Those ghosts have all left. There is no one at the Liao Family gate now. "Oh yeah, lend me your phone again, I''m going to look for my own."


    When he thought about his own phone, Shen Jiaming once again thought about the terrifying scene he saw in his "dream" back then. However, he still had to retrieve his phone. After all, it was easy to use. He dialed his number. He thought he could hear the phone ringing in the car, but then he suddenly heard the phone ringing from the direction of Liao Family''s main entrance.


    Shen Jiaming and Zhu Minghui both looked at each other, speechless.


    After a long while, Zhu Minghui opened his mouth and said, "Brother Shen, didn''t you just get off the carriage? Your cell phone is not too far away from our carriage. Why is it at the Liao Family gate a hundred meters away? "


    Shen Jiaming was also shocked. He really thought that since he lost his phone, he might have accidentally dropped it in the car, or maybe it accidentally dropped it on the way here, he never expected that it would actually appear at the Liao Family gate.


    While they were still in shock, the phone rang again. Shen Jiaming was a little unhappy. She glared at Zhu Minghui and scolded him in a low voice, "This phone had mysteriously run over to that end, it''s already scary enough. You even call me over and over again, is it really that fun?"


    "Brother Shen, I didn''t call. Your phone rang. I really didn''t call. If you don''t believe me, look!" Zhu Minghui felt that he was extremely innocent. After he had finished dialing Shen Jiaming''s number on his phone, he kept it in his hand, and did not even manage to unlock the lock on the screen. How could he have made a call?


    Shen Jiaming realized that it was not Zhu Minghui who called, and he froze. After a long while, he opened his mouth and said to Zhu Minghui: "Wait for me here, I''m going to go see what''s going on!"


    After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath and walked toward the Liao Family gate, the place where he had placed his phone.

 C74

    Shen Jiaming gathered his courage and walked towards the Liao Family''s gate. He walked over very slowly. At one point, the cell phone stopped ringing. He had only taken two steps when the phone rang again.


    When he finally mustered the courage to walk to the Master Liao''s door, his phone had rung for the third time. Shen Jiaming bent down to look at his phone''s screen, it was a call.


    He let out a sigh of relief and picked up his phone. Before he could pick up the phone, his whole body froze again.


    Because on the screen where he was ringing, the caller ID displayed not only a number, but also three words. It was a person''s name.


    "Liao Youliang!"


    Liao Youliang? It was actually Liao Youliang? It was the brother of the psychiatrist he had just seen in his "dream". He said that he was the nephew of some Master Liao! However, he was clearly dreaming just now, and Sheng Jiuzhou did not go missing either. When did he ever meet this Liao Youliang?


    Shen Jiaming carefully thought back to that terrifying "dream", and wondered if he remembered wrongly, or maybe he really had forgotten when he saw this Liao Gongliang and recorded down his phone number. He was about to fall into a trance when the phone rang for the fourth time and he summoned up the courage to pick it up.


    It was indeed Liao Gongliang on the other end of the phone. He greeted Shen Jiaming very politely, then said, "Mr. Shen, I''ve already communicated with my uncle. He just so happens to have some time to see you.


    Shen Jiaming was currently in a state of complete fear, his mind had already stopped thinking. He was stunned for a long time before he muddle-headedly asked Liao Youliang, "Mr. Liao, when have we met each other before? Had he just seen it? "But ¡­"


    Shen Jiaming wanted to say, didn''t I just have a dream on the mountain road? Why did this dream suddenly turn out to be true? If the phone, Liao Youliang and the purple fog were real, then was the purple fog real as well?


    He turned around and looked at his dreamland. The direction that he had come from gave him a shock. He had seen the map of the GPS navigation system before and knew that the Sand Hill was on the other side of the mountain range. A wonder of the purple fog s had once appeared on the Sand Hill!


    Liao Youliang was still on the other end of the phone. When he heard Shen Jiaming''s question, he chuckled and slowly spoke: "Didn''t the two of us meet? Didn''t Mr. Shen say earlier that we were going to look for our sister? I have yet to ask, have you found Mr. Shen''s sister? "


    Shen Jiaming was completely confused. He knew that he had met with something similar to what he had met last night at the inn. Time had turned into chaos. However, this time was different from the time at the inn, because Zhu Minghui had felt the same passing of time before, but now, only he himself could feel it. Zhu Minghui might have experienced this passing of time with him, but he could no longer remember it. It was most likely the same for Sheng Jiuzhou. Even if he asked her, she wouldn''t remember anything.


    Shen Jiaming thanked Liao Youliang, then stood at the door and waved at Zhu Minghui, telling him to bring Sheng Jiuzhou over.


    The three of them waited at the Liao Family''s gate. Not long after, someone opened the heavy, ancient looking gate of Liao Family.


    Someone politely asked for Shen Jiaming''s name, and then made a "please" gesture, bringing the three into Liao Family Big House.


    After Shen Jiaming entered, the more he walked, the more surprised he became, because when he was floating in the air earlier, he had already taken a good look at the entire Liao Mansion from the top of the mountains. After entering, every single place they passed by looked extremely familiar to him, because he had already seen it before, and when he looked again, there wasn''t even a hint of novelty anymore.


    After walking for a long distance, Shen Jiaming and the others were brought to an ancient room, where tea was served. The person who received them told them to wait here for the time being.


    Sheng Jiuzhou was not courteous in the slightest. He found a chair to sit on and continued to play mobile games with his head lowered. He also ignored Shen Jiaming and even more so ignored Zhu Minghui.


    Zhu Minghui and Shen Jiaming thanked the person who received them and sat down in their respective seats. After the man left, Zhu Minghui went closer to Shen Jiaming''s ear and whispered to him. Look at this teacup, is this blue and white porcelain? Why does it feel like it''s even better than the luxurious halls we''ve been to? "


    "Since this Master Liao dares to do such a thing, and also inherited his inheritance, he must have some family background."


    Shen Jiaming was not in the mood to think about how much these things were worth. He urgently wanted to see the Master Liao. It was probably because of something that happened to Liao Youliang and the strange things that happened afterwards that he actually believed that this Master Liao must have the ability to solve all of his problems.


    Zhu Minghui never thought that Shen Jiaming would actually not be interested in these things, he only lowered his head and played with them. He played around for a while, when suddenly he remembered and directly pulled Shen Jiaming''s sleeves, asking him: "Brother Shen, how do you know that this is what the ancestors of Master Liao did?"


    Shen Jiaming was also shocked, and asked back, "Didn''t you tell me?"


    Zhu Minghui stared blankly for a moment, shook his head and said, "When did I tell you this? I only found out myself when you told me. Didn''t you know about this Master Liao before? When we were in the inn, didn''t we only know the name of the Master Liao, and we only knew that he came to this mountain ten years ago? Why did you suddenly start talking about his ancestors? And this mansion, this historic and quaint mansion, actually wasn''t developed into a tourist attraction. Don''t you think that there''s something off about this place?


    Shen Jiaming was also startled. After thinking for a long time, he finally remembered where he found out about the matters of the Master Liao''s ancestors. He found out about it from Liao Youliang''s mouth.


    Just as he and Zhu Minghui were busy researching, the person who had received them before walked in and directly said to them: "Master Liao said that today''s guests are full. Other than opening the Heaven''s Eyes, you can only open it once. Three men from far away came, who was it that wanted to see our Master Liao? "


    Shen Jiaming stood up and immediately walked towards that man, telling him that he wanted to see Master Liao.


    Just as he was about to follow the receptionist out, Sheng Jiuzhou suddenly shouted, "Halt!"


    Shen Jiaming''s footsteps paused, and he subconsciously turned to look at Sheng Jiuzhou.


    Sheng Jiuzhou slowly stood up from the chair and without even looking at Shen Jiaming, he walked over to the receptionist and said: "Take me to see your Master Liao!"

 C75

    "Bring me to see your Master Liao!"


    Sheng Jiuzhou did not care about Shen Jiaming at all, and directly opened his mouth like that, catching Shen Jiaming completely off guard. He never thought that Sheng Jiuzhou would actually run out and say such nonsense at this time.


    He anxiously stopped Sheng Jiuzhou and advised him nervously: "Ah Jiu, don''t mess around, we have come all this way just to see this Master Liao, it''s your brother that wanted to meet you, understand? "I beg you, stop messing around. If you are fooling around, you will interfere with my business."


    "It''s useless for you to see him. He can''t solve your problem." Sheng Jiuzhou had finally opened his mouth. Not only that, he didn''t care about his words as he spoke so much in one go.


    Shen Jiaming became anxious and finally became angry at Sheng Jiuzhou: "Ah Jiu, I allow you to mess around with me on other matters, but your brother here has official business, I need to see this Master Liao, not a child who has played house before. Even if brother begs you, don''t mess around."


    Although Shen Jiaming was angry, he still couldn''t get angry at Sheng Jiuzhou. He kept thinking that she was a young lady who didn''t know anything, he just needed to be taught, and besides, all the other children nowadays, who wasn''t a maverick. He only needed to take good care of her while he was still unable to find her family members. He shouldn''t restrict her too much. However, it was clear that Sheng Jiuzhou didn''t listen to instructions at all and was extremely willful.


    Sheng Jiuzhou looked at Shen Jiaming and kept silent for a long time. Then, he sat back on his seat and no longer bothered with Shen Jiaming.


    Shen Jiaming heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that perhaps Sheng Jiuzhou finally realized his mistake and had finally come to a compromise. He turned and apologized to the man who had been waiting for a long time to show them the way, and was about to follow him out the door.


    Sheng Jiuzhou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth, "This is the Ancient Wind Water Residence, you should take care of yourself."


    Shen Jiaming never thought that the Sheng Jiuzhou he had always been kind to, would actually say such words, and even say something about making him feel good about himself.


    Zhu Minghui was also very surprised at the side. He knew that Shen Jiaming''s little sister was not pleasing to his eyes, she could even be considered a big version of a devilish brat, but he never thought that she would actually be so ungrateful to him. That was the reason why she had to meet this Master Liao since Shen Jiaming''s situation was special. A little girl like her would always want to join in the liveliness.


    Shen Jiaming was very sad, but when he thought about how he was about to see the Master Liao, he did not care about the sadness and could only look at Sheng Jiuzhou in disappointment. Finally, he turned and followed the receptionist and walked out.


    With the receptionist leading the way, he followed behind. The two of them walked on the stone path, and beside them were thick trees. Judging by the thickness of the trees, they should be decades or even a hundred years old. Shen Jiaming guessed that this house had hundreds of years of history.


    The more he thought about it, the more curious he became about this courtyard. After taking a few steps and making another turn, it immediately gave him the illusion that there was no other path, and he couldn''t help but praise it.


    The receptionist smiled and told Shen Jiaming, "Our Liao Family''s residence has a history of at least a few hundred years. Every tree and wall here is especially about feng shui and Evil Qi.


    Shen Jiaming followed behind him, and only felt his vision blur. The scene in front of him started to turn white, and he could no longer see anything clearly. His feet were also floating, and every step he took felt like he was stepping on cotton. He was so light that he didn''t even look like he was walking. As for what the person leading the way was saying, he could not hear it clearly at all. All he heard were four words, "Evil Demon item"!


    Shen Jiaming suddenly came up with an idea. So he was actually a monster of evil, so the Feng Shui in this courtyard was fatal to him!


    Sheng Jiuzhou was still sitting on the chair playing with his phone, Zhu Minghui moved closer to Sheng Jiuzhou and talked to her, "I say, your brother is actually pretty tired, please don''t be so willful, understand him better."


    "He''ll kill himself."


    "Huh?" Zhu Minghui never thought that Sheng Jiuzhou would actually be so heartless, to dare to say anything carelessly. He was a little unhappy and was about to properly educate Sheng Jiuzhou, when suddenly, he heard painful screams coming from outside.


    After all, he had been brothers with Shen Jiaming for more than ten years. From his voice, Zhu Minghui could tell instantly.


    He didn''t notice that Sheng Jiuzhou, who was behind him, had put down the cell phone in his hand and slowly raised his head. Then, his entire person disappeared from the room.


    Zhu Minghui followed the sound and finally found Shen Jiaming, who was wailing in pain. Shen Jiaming also didn''t know what was going on, but he was rolling on the ground in pain. He kept wailing in pain, as if he had received some kind of torture. The person who led the way for Shen Jiaming did not seem to think that they would meet with such a situation, he was anxiously running around to the side and could not help at all.


    Seeing Zhu Minghui coming over, he anxiously shouted, "Sir, your friend is suddenly sick, please take care of him here, I will immediately go and get some people!"


    Zhu Minghui did not care about how the man was doing, and went to call for help. He quickly ran to Shen Jiaming''s side and supported him as he shouted, "Brother Shen, Brother Shen, what happened to you? What''s wrong with you? Don''t worry, it will be fine, it will be fine... What do we do, what do we do! "


    Shen Jiaming couldn''t hear Zhu Minghui''s voice at all, and had completely fallen into a strange state. He seemed to feel that he was standing in the entire Liao Family''s courtyard, but it wasn''t limited to standing on top of the stone bricks on the ground, and it was more like he was standing at the same place above the Liao Family Great House. He seemed to be looking at something different, as if he was standing in the air, and was wrapping the entire Liao Mansion around.


    In his eyes, the Liao Mansion was lifeless and lifeless; there was not even a tree. All of the courtyard walls were crisscrossed and disorderly.


    Shen Jiaming''s eyes understood, but his heart was confused.


    He was just an ordinary person, so how did he become an object that could be fatally injured by the Feng Shui forbidden technique? Just what was this house? Why did it hurt him so much?


    He couldn''t figure it out, nor could he figure it out. He floated above the old mansion, unable to feel his body anymore.

 C76

    "Who are you? "Where are you from?"


    Who is it? Who was talking to him? Why did this voice sound so familiar, but why was it that he had never heard it before?


    "Are you confused, are you helpless? Do you want me to help you? "


    Shen Jiaming heard the voice again, and when the voice said that it was going to help him, he immediately nodded fiercely and impatiently wanted to ask the other party to save him.


    "Save me, save me ¡­" Shen Jiaming didn''t know what exactly happened to him, but he felt terrible, worse than death. Even if she died, she wouldn''t feel such pain, right?


    He forced himself to open his eyes and finally saw a person in front of him. It was a hazy red colour with golden lines embroidered on it, making it hard to see the patterns, but he could feel that this person was walking towards him, following his movements. He could even hear a faint sigh, as if he knew he was very uncomfortable.


    Shen Jiaming forced himself to wake up and shout at her, desperately wanting that person to save him.


    His eyes were very blurry. He couldn''t tell if the person was a man or a woman, old or young, but his survival instinct told him that this person could save him. This person was the only one that could save him.


    "Save me, please save me. I know you can save me, I don''t want to die, I beg you to save me ¡­"


    "Brother Shen, Brother Shen ¡­"


    Someone was shouting his name beside Shen Jiaming''s ears. Shen Jiaming heard it faintly, and tried his best to reply, but he couldn''t say anything, as if his body wasn''t his own.


    "Master Liao, he ¡­ What was going on? How can I wake him up? Brother Shen, Brother Shen... Can you hear me? "


    Shen Jiaming heard Zhu Minghui''s voice, heard him anxiously asking about his condition, and also heard him calling him. The person who was talking to Zhu Minghui should be the legendary Master Liao who had great ability. However, Shen Jiaming was unable to hear what the Master Liao had said, he could only hear Zhu Minghui''s voice, but was unable to respond to Zhu Minghui''s question. There was also no way for him to tell Zhu Minghui what was happening to him. This feeling was very similar to the nightmare he had previously, but it was also very different. The him that time had left his body. This time, it was as if he was trapped within his body.


    He could even feel that his body was like a square chest, locking him in. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn''t get out.


    Zhu Minghui''s voice once again came from the side of his ear, "Master Liao, are you saying that you can''t handle this kind of situation? Aren''t you a master? "You should be experienced in this kind of thing. How could you not be able to handle it?"


    The Master Liao seemed to have said something else, causing Shen Jiaming to immediately become angry, as if he was pointing at Master Liao and scolding him, "Master, what you said is not appropriate. You said that you can deal with ghosts, but my Brother Shen has already surpassed your capabilities? Are you kidding? My bro is an individual, what ability is outside of your scope, you don''t have the ability, so don''t speak nonsense. I really regretted bringing the Brother Shen to see you. I thought you were a genuine master, but I didn''t expect you to be this kind of trash, using ghosts that others couldn''t see to trick us. Fine, fine, fine. Don''t tell me that. I don''t want to hear you nagging at me about the money. In my opinion, a doctor is much more powerful than a master at tricks like you! "


    After that, Shen Jiaming blurrily lost consciousness, as if he had fallen into that vague world. He saw that dazzling red again, and saw those golden lines that were suffused with light ¡­


    After an unknown amount of time, Shen Jiaming was finally able to open his eyes. What entered his eyes was a snow-white ceiling, and there was a light burning on the ceiling.


    As he had just woken up, Shen Jiaming''s reaction was slow, and it took him a good long while to regain his senses, realizing that he was in the sickroom. He moved slightly, turned his body, and saw Zhu Minghui, who was leaning on the side and asleep on a chair. The ward was very bright. The lights were off, the curtains were drawn, and the sky outside the window was a pale white. It seemed like a cloudy morning or day.


    Shen Jiaming opened his mouth, wanting to wake Zhu Minghui up, but he suddenly realized that his throat had become hoarse and he was unable to say anything. The moment he moved, Zhu Minghui woke up. She immediately rang the bell, and called the doctors and nurses over.


    The doctor inspected Shen Jiaming and said to Zhu Minghui: "His tonsils are a bit inflamed, so there aren''t any major problems. He will be discharged after observing for a few days."


    Zhu Minghui anxiously asked the doctor, "Um, what is wrong with my brother? How could he suddenly lose consciousness?


    The doctor shook his head and said: "We have already carried out a thorough examination of the Mr. Shen, and have not found the cause of the disease, but we still need all kinds of experts to treat the specific situation, but our hospital''s conditions are limited, so I suggest that you all go to the main hospital to have a consultation ¡­."


    Zhu Minghui had no choice but to let the doctors and nurses continue their journey. He turned around and asked Shen Jiaming, "Brother Shen, what do you think? Do you want some water? "


    Shen Jiaming nodded his head and took the bottle of water from Zhu Minghui. He was so thirsty that he drank almost an entire bottle. After trying hard a few times, Shen Jiaming was finally able to say a few words in a hoarse voice. It was probably to ask himself how he came to the hospital, how many days has it been since then?


    Zhu Minghui told Shen Jiaming, "Brother Shen, you have been unconscious for three days. The doctor had already checked your entire body, saying that there was nothing wrong with your body, suspecting that there was something wrong with your brain, and even saying that you might become a vegetable ¡­ However, now that you have woken up, I am relieved. "


    Shen Jiaming was not worried that he would turn into a vegetable, he knew that he must have encountered some weird things again. His throat wasn''t feeling well right now, so he didn''t say anything. He looked at Zhu Minghui again, and suddenly asked, "Did you tell my sister that I was sick?"


    Shen Jia Ying had always been concerned about her brother. Shen Jiaming did not want to cause trouble for his troubled sister.


    Zhu Minghui shook his head, and said: "I didn''t dare to tell Sister Shen about your matters, after all, you happened at Master Liao''s place. If Sister Shen asked me why you went to Master Liao, I would have no explanation, and I don''t know how to explain it. I think, at most you will wake up in the next two days. If the situation becomes serious, I will definitely tell Sister Shen. Brother Shen, I acted on my own, you won''t blame me, right? "


    Shen Jiaming shook his head. As his brother, Zhu Minghui understood his situation very well. Usually, if it was not absolutely necessary, Shen Jiaming would very rarely disturb Shen Jia Ying''s life.


    Seeing that Shen Jiaming was thinking the same as him, Zhu Minghui was relieved.


    Shen Jiaming suddenly asked, "Ming Hui, where is Ah Jiu?"


    Zhu Minghui suddenly froze as he turned his head to look at Shen Jiaming. After a long while, he finally managed to speak, "Brother Shen, I ¡­ Forget her. At that time, I was only worried about bringing you to the hospital, so I forgot about her in Liao Mansion. "

    "At that time, I was very panicked. I only remembered taking you out of the Liao Mansion, and didn''t think of Sheng Jiuzhou in the slightest. I''m sorry Brother Shen, I really did not think of Sheng Jiuzhou at all back then.


    Zhu Minghui saw that Shen Jiaming was extremely worried for him, and anxiously asked: "Brother Shen, what do you think we should do? It''s been three days! However, that little sister of yours, seriously, did you not call me even once you saw that we had left? She was already over twenty years old, so why did she always depend on others? Was she unable to take care of herself in her own life? Could it be that after so many days, she is still left alone in the Liao Mansion? "


    Shen Jiaming''s heart was filled with worry for Sheng Jiuzhou, but he did not have the mind to blame Sheng Jiuzhou for his actions. He had a rough understanding of her, and knew that she had the style of an idiot. Even if Zhu Minghui didn''t think of Sheng Jiuzhou in that moment, he couldn''t help but blame Zhu Minghui for letting this girl go. The most important thing right now was to find Sheng Jiuzhou as soon as possible.


    He asked Zhu Minghui for his phone and dialed Sheng Jiuzhou''s number. The bell on the other side of the phone kept ringing, but no one picked up. Shen Jiaming was really worried about whether or not she would go home, so she called her home phone, but no one picked up. Shen Jiaming did not even give up, he just called the bodyguard who was sent to help at the hour, and got the answer, "Mr. Shen is referring to Miss Shen? It''s been a few days since I last saw Miss Shen. It''s probably from the day Mr. Shen left for somewhere far away, and I haven''t seen any trace of her back home either. She probably hasn''t come back yet. "


    Shen Jiaming frowned, and hung up the phone. He asked Zhu Minghui, "How far is this hospital from the Liao Mansion?"


    Zhu Minghui told him, "Brother Shen, this is the closest hospital to Liao Mansion, and it''s not far from the inn we stayed at previously, and it''s right next to the police station."


    When Shen Jiaming thought about Liao Family, he thought about that mysterious Liao Youliang. He anxiously looked for his phone number, wanting to find Liao Youliang''s number and ask if it was Liao Mansion.


    However, what surprised Shen Jiaming the most was that he did not have Liao Youliang''s phone number on his phone, nor did he have Liao Youliang''s name or similar suspicious phone number in his recent records.


    Shen Jiaming suspected that Zhu Minghui had deleted them and directly asked Zhu Minghui. Of course, Zhu Minghui could not delete it, one had to know that Shen Jiaming''s phone had a screen password. Even if his phone did not have a screen password, Zhu Minghui would not delete the Shen Family''s records.


    The two of them looked at the call record which had mysteriously disappeared, and were immediately shocked. They looked at each other in dismay, not knowing whether or not they had met a ghost again at the Liao Mansion''s entrance.


    Because he could not find Sheng Jiuzhou, Shen Jiaming did not have the mood to continue recuperating. Ignoring Zhu Minghui''s persuasion, he immediately removed the needle from the bed, put on his jacket and walked out of the hospital. He was merely walking on the garden path in the courtyard, and he already sensed a different aura. If Sheng Jiuzhou still stayed there, and even got lost in such a large courtyard, it would definitely not work, and he had to go look for him.


    Zhu Minghui had no choice but to follow behind Shen Jiaming and let him go. He thought that since their car was still at the top of the mountain, even if Sheng Jiuzhou was not there, they could still drive the car back.


    Only, Zhu Minghui never expected that the moment he and Shen Jiaming exited the hospital, they saw their car parked not far away.


    Shen Jiaming thought that Zhu Minghui had brought the car back, so he did not think too much and directly took out the car keys from his pocket, opened the door, and prepared to get in.


    Zhu Minghui, who was following behind him, did not move an inch.


    "Ming Hui?" Shen Jiaming turned around and called out to him.


    Zhu Minghui shook his head, his expression extremely fearful, "Brother Shen, I did not bring the car back. "The car keys have always been in your pocket. No one has ever come over to take them. I ¡­, I ¡­"


    Zhu Minghui was a little incoherent, and didn''t know what he was talking about. He was a little stupefied, his feet were disobedient, and he didn''t want to get on the carriage.


    Shen Jiaming looked at his car, then looked at Zhu Minghui. Although he already knew that there were some things that couldn''t be explained with common sense and common sense, but who was it that drove his car back and didn''t even use the keys?


    Thinking about it here, Shen Jiaming suddenly remembered that back then, when he and Sheng Jiuzhou came back from the Tomb Hole, the Fatty had driven this car to pick them up. But then he found the keys to the car on the shoe case at home, and the dusty car in the basement parking lot.


    At that time, Shen Jiaming did not know that he could see ghosts, so he had never thought about it.


    As he was thinking this, he suddenly saw a little boy sitting on the hood of his car. When he saw the little boy, Shen Jiaming''s eyes became round. This little boy was the little boy that he brought over, and suddenly disappeared. Shen Jiaming had not seen him for several days already.


    The little boy sat on the hood of the car, swinging his legs as he grinned at Shen Jiaming. Shen Jiaming saw that his shaking leg was becoming lighter, to the point that his ankle was almost transparent. He could not see anything.


    Shen Jiaming was surprised, because he was very clear that when he first met this little boy, he had closely observed his situation.


    Although the child was already dead at that time, it didn''t look any different from a normal child. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have thought that he was a normal child from the start. At that time, the only strange thing about him was that when he found out that he was dead, the black fog that was emitting from his body disappeared quickly because he promised to help him find a home.


    Shen Jiaming had met this little boy many times, but he had never seen him with a transparent body, so he did not know why this kind of situation would occur.


    Seeing Shen Jiaming stop in his tracks, Zhu Minghui did not walk towards the direction of the car, thinking that his words were working. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard Shen Jiaming shouting towards the car, "Did you bring the car back for me?"

 C78

    Shen Jiaming called out to the car, and Zhu Minghui followed his gaze over. It was empty, there was nothing.


    "Brother Shen, who are you talking to?"


    Shen Jiaming didn''t turn his head and directly told Zhu Minghui, "Ming Hui, do you remember the little boy that I told you about?"


    "That little boy, the kid who came in the same car as us? Didn''t you say that he had disappeared? Why did it suddenly appear again? "


    Shen Jiaming patiently told Zhu Minghui, "Not only has he appeared, he''s also appeared in a very strange way, different from before."


    "What''s different? Is he going to become a monster? "


    Shen Jiaming shook his head and spoke the truth, "I don''t know, I have never come into contact with ghosts before. I only found out that this little boy was different from what I had seen before. This time, from his knees down, he was gradually becoming transparent. "Right."


    When he said till here, he suddenly thought of something and quickly told Zhu Minghui, "Ming Hui, do you remember I told you about the Fatty?"


    I remember." Zhu Minghui nodded, of course he remembered, how could he not remember that Fatty was the same as Shen Jiaming. Although there were other brothers in their circle, none of them had a better relationship with each other than the few of them. Shen Jiaming said that he could see ghosts, could see Brother Fatty, and he remembered them in his heart. Although he didn''t believe it previously, but he was willing to listen to the familiar faces that described the people he missed.


    Shen Jiaming told Zhu Minghui, "Other than the first time that I have seen Fatty, the few times I have been by You Lilin''s side. At first, I thought Fatty had come with you, but he could even greet and nod at me. Then, we met once or twice outside, and Fatty followed You Lilin as if he didn''t see me at all. The last time I saw Fatty, was also by You Lilin''s side. At that time, Fatty''s entire body was releasing a black aura and his eyes were staring at the back of You Lilin''s neck. I think that ghosts will probably change. Following the surrounding environment or some other factors, their body will start to produce black qi and some other changes. Just like this child, whose legs have turned transparent.


    Zhu Minghui couldn''t see the boy, but his intuition told him that he wasn''t Shen Jiaming. However, seeing Shen Jiaming''s serious expression, his heart started to feel anxious. Originally, he did not understand these things and he did not revere the ghosts and gods in his heart. However, everything that had happened between him and Shen Jiaming now, could not help but cause his heart to be filled with reverence.


    Respect was respect, but he and Shen Jiaming didn''t know how to respond to the situation they were in. Shen Jiaming had happily thought that ghosts were formed after a person''s death, and more or less still retained the consciousness of a normal person to communicate with others. However, from the looks of the boy and the Fatty, he suddenly felt that his way of thinking was too naive. For example, the latter part of the Fatty did not even look at him anymore, and did not even communicate with him through eyes.


    At this moment, the little boy was the same. Shen Jiaming called out to him and talked to him, but he still maintained his grin and sat on the roof of Shen Jiaming''s car, shaking his calves, as if Shen Jiaming and the others did not exist. He didn''t seem to hear anything Shen Jiaming was saying to him. He looked a little like a schoolboy who was lost in his thoughts, perhaps thinking about something else.


    Zhu Minghui asked Shen Jiaming, "Brother Shen, what do we do now?"


    Shen Jiaming thought for a bit, and didn''t think about driving his car anymore. He felt that since he couldn''t communicate with the boy, in this unclear situation, it would be better for him to not interact with other people that he did not know about. He pulled Zhu Minghui to the side of the road and reported the Master Liao''s address to a local taxi.


    The master in the taxi was very talkative, and when he heard that they were going to see Master Liao, he immediately became interested and started gossiping with them.


    "Aiya, brothers, don''t you know how mysterious this Master Liao is?"


    Zhu Minghui was a little disdainful, he took the opportunity to tell Shen Jiaming: "Brother Shen, you better be careful, I don''t think that Master Liao has much ability. "That day you fainted in his house. He was completely helpless against your situation and refused to call 120 to save you. If I hadn''t rushed over in time, who knows what would have happened to you?"


    Shen Jiaming nodded, Zhu Minghui had already told him about this before, he indicated for Zhu Minghui to be quiet and listen to the driver.


    Zhu Minghui curled his lips, and did not speak any further. He began to listen to the driver''s story regarding Liao Family.


    "You guys must have heard that before Master Liao came up the mountain, there was not even a tree. After planting it a few times, it was unsuccessful, and when Master Liao came up, not only did they revive the tree, but they also dug out an old house from the top of the mountain that no one else found. The top of our house was very distinctive, with steep mountains, but the top of the mountain was flat, as if it had been cut by a large knife. This mountain is the tallest mountain in our town, it stands out from the rest. Let alone the government, even the private bosses want to develop this mountain. However, after all these years, no one had ever seen such a large house on a flat mountain peak. Only when the Master Liao came up the mountain did they find this house. Some of our local citizens do not believe this evil, thinking that the Master Liao was deliberately making things up. The mansion was built later on to tease those who heard the rumors and came from afar. Think about it. After all, no one has been able to find this mansion for so many years. However, the curious people who went up the mountain and touched the Liao Family''s large house shook their heads, believing that this house was ancient and had existed since the beginning. It has a lot of architectural structures that can''t be created now. Do you think it''s strange? In any case, this kind of matter was spread far and wide, and hundreds and thousands of times, it would become more and more famous in the Master Liao. He seemed to be quite knowledgeable about the Feng Shui Ghosts and didn''t know if it was true or not. In short, he had heard that it was very realistic. Right now, there are more and more people like you who have come to pay homage to you, and there are more and more youngsters as well. "


    The taxi followed the road all the way to the top of the mountain, probably because it was bored from driving, and continued to gossip with Shen Jiaming and Zhu Minghui, "Actually, no one knows if there are any ghosts in this world. This Master Liao definitely could not say for sure, but no one could say for sure. However, there is something rather strange that I know about. Do you want to hear it? "
