Ghosts Know What I Experienced
Chapter 27 (1)
The days without work are comfortable and relaxing.
Xi Jia hasn't cooked for a long time, since Ye Jing moved in last month, no matter how busy he is, he will take time to prepare every meal.Ye Jingzhi's cooking skills are really good, and the simple home-cooked dishes taste delicious in his hands. Xi Jia was taken care of by Master Ye. After cooking a meal by himself the next day, he found that the taste was very ordinary. .
Ye Jingzhi has also cooked some of Xi Jia's dishes these days.When he lived alone before, he never felt that his cooking was not good.However, there can be no comparison in everything. After comparing with Ye Jingzhi's dishes, Xi Jia felt that he couldn't eat.
At the dinner table, the young man in charge of the spoon held the chopsticks and poked the rice in his bowl absent-mindedly.Opposite him, Master Ye was eating very seriously, as if he was eating some delicacies from mountains and seas.
Seeing Ye Jingzhi's concentration on eating, Xi Jia's face was full of embarrassment: "...Master Ye, what I cook is not very delicious."
Ye Jingzhi put a large chopstick of vegetables into the bowl, and looked up at Xi Jia in a daze: "It's delicious."
Xi Jia: "Huh?"
Ye Jingzhi's eyes were sincere, and he didn't seem to be lying at all.Xi Jia picked up sliced lotus root with chopsticks suspiciously, and he chewed it a couple of times. Although he said he had eaten it, he panicked. It was obvious that there was too much salt.
Seeing that Ye Jingzhi was still eating happily, Xi Jia tentatively asked: "Master Ye, do you really think it's delicious? Is it better than your cooking?"
Ye Jingzhi said seriously: "It's delicious, better than mine."
While talking, Ye Jingzhi had already filled another bowl of rice.In the past, Ye Jingzhi only ate one bowl of rice at a time, but this time he moved swiftly, filling one bowl and asking for another.If it's just perfunctory Xi Jia, there's no need to act to such an extent, but he really ate all the dishes, not even a grain of rice left in the rice cooker.
Xi Jia: "..." It's over, is there something wrong with Master Ye's sense of taste...
At the end of the meal, Xi Jia simply put down the bowl and chopsticks and only watched Ye Jingzhi eat.Master Ye didn't eat very elegantly, but he didn't gobble it up either, but he seemed to be enjoying himself.If you cook a table of dishes and someone eats them happily, you will always feel very comfortable.
Xi Jia supported her chin with one hand, and there was a hint of a smile in her voice: "Master Ye, why don't I continue cooking tomorrow?"
Ye Jingzhi paused with his chopsticks in mid-air, slowly raised his head, and looked at Xi Jia.After a long time, he asked, "Will you still cook for me?"
Xi Jia nodded.
The corners of Ye Jingzhi's mouth curled up slightly, and he didn't speak any more.
After eating, Ye Jingzhi refused to let Xi Jia wash the dishes. He stood in the kitchen, stared down at the sink, and carefully cleaned every corner of the dishes.Xi Jia didn't refuse either, and sat on the sofa watching TV.
This kind of life is very flat, without too many ups and downs.Just like any pair of ordinary cohabitants, you are in charge of cooking, and I am in charge of washing dishes. Everything I do is very ordinary, but I can't help but feel warm in my heart.
While watching TV, Xi Jia involuntarily turned his gaze away to the person standing in the kitchen.From his angle, he could only see Ye Jingzhi's back. He was thin, tall but thin. This person had suffered a lot, perhaps more than he had.
In fact, it feels good to just live with Master Ye like this?
This idea flashed through Xi Jia's mind quickly, he immediately frowned, and put aside this unrealistic idea.
As soon as he looked away, Xi Jia heard a hurried voice from the TV: "Now we have arrived at the scene in the Qiuhu District of Sucheng. The police received a report at 1:32 this morning that a murder occurred in the Qiuhu District. It is extremely tragic, let us follow the reporter and take a look at the specific situation..."
Xi Jia watched the TV, only to realize that she had accidentally tuned the channel to a local channel in Sioux City.
On the TV, a young reporter is conducting an interview.He was standing in a newly built high-end community, and many residents of the community gathered around seeing the TV cameras.As soon as the reporter asked a question, the onlookers started talking very eagerly.
"It's terrible, it's really terrible. I slept soundly last night, and suddenly I heard someone arguing in the community. You said it's normal for the young couple to quarrel at the head of the bed, and we also I'm used to it. They've been arguing for hours!"
"No, I heard them arguing after eleven o'clock, and it lasted until one o'clock. The woman hacked the man to death with a knife. I saw it with my own eyes. His man was killed. When the police carried it out, there was blood all over his face, all blood!"
"It was so frightening that I couldn't fall asleep all night. I heard people say that the man of his family died so badly that his eyeballs fell out!"
After listening for a while, Xi Jia frowned, changed the channel, and started watching entertainment programs.
Although Sioux City is one of the larger prefecture-level cities in the country, it has always been safe and there are very few major criminal cases.Last year, there was a drunk driving accident in Sioux City. The person driving a luxury car drunk and crashed into a bus stop, killing five people on the spot.This incident caused a lot of uproar in Sucheng, and it was also on the Internet's hot searches.
In that case, five people died, but it was just a drunk driving case.This kind of case can be discussed in Sioux City for a while, which shows that the life in Sioux City is stable, the people are safe and sound, and criminal cases of a bad nature rarely happen.
Xi Jia was not interested in taking care of that case any more. He had just changed the channel when he heard a deep male voice behind him: "Is it a murder case?"
Xi Jia nodded, turned to look at Ye Jingzhi: "Well, it should be that the husband and wife quarreled, and the woman killed the man impulsively."
Ye Jingzhi gave a soft "hmm" and sat down on the sofa.He sat on the single sofa, with his back straight, and he turned his head sideways to watch TV.
What was shown on TV was a very ordinary variety show, and there weren't many laughs, so Xi Jia just watched it casually.Halfway through, he suddenly heard Ye Jingzhi ask cautiously: "Can I... sit by your side?"
Xi Jia was slightly taken aback: "?"
Ye Jingzhi's ears were slightly red, and he explained: "It's not very convenient for me to sit here and watch TV."
Xi Jia understood immediately, and nodded with a smile: "Master Ye, you can sit wherever you want, the sofa is very big."
Master Ye got permission, got up and sat down.The two continued to watch TV with a distance of half a meter.Ye Jingzhi's eyes stayed on the TV screen for a while, and then quietly turned to look at Xi Jia.Whenever Xi Jia moved slightly, he immediately looked away nervously, not knowing what to do or what to say.
After watching TV for a while, Ye Jingzhi secretly turned his gaze away again. He had just turned halfway, when Xi Jia clapped his hands and said, "By the way, Master Ye, Ziying told me last night that he already knows the basics of books. The simplified characters on the page may only take a few days to finish reading the Chinese textbook. However, mathematics and English are a bit difficult for him, especially English, which he does not know at all. I want to buy a dot reader for him. It is feasible. ?"
Ye Jingzhi was so frightened that he immediately turned his head. After hearing this, he asked in confusion, "Dot reader?"
Xi Jia nodded: "Yes, point reader. It's the one that doesn't know where to click."
Ye Jingzhi: "...Where can't you order?"
Xi Jia didn't know how to describe it all at once. He thought about the advertisements he had seen before, looked sideways at Ye Jingzhi, and imitated the little girl in the advertisements: "It's that...soeasy. Master Ye, you don't know ?”
Ye Jingzhi shook his head: "I've never heard of such a thing."
Xi Jia simply turned on the phone, searched for photos of the reader on the Internet, and explained it to Ye Jingzhi. "... What I am more concerned about is whether the point reader can still be used after it burns out? The point reader is an electrical appliance and needs electricity. Can Ziying use electricity? After the point reader burns out, Can it be recharged?"
Ye Jingzhi said: "Tiangongzhai once studied this kind of thing, using Yin Qi instead of electricity to power electrical appliances."
Xi Jia asked in surprise, "Why did they study this?"
Ye Jingzhi explained patiently: "Every year, the Tianshi Congress is held for ten days and ten nights, and there are very few things that can be brought. By the last three days of the meeting, basically everyone's mobile phones are dead. Tiangongzhai The seniors want to study the method of transforming Yin Qi into electricity, from now on, as long as some Yin Qi is stored with spirit stones and brought over, you can play with your mobile phone forever at the Tianshi Congress.”
Xi Jia: "..."
Xi Jia had heard of this celestial masters congress before, and he thought that people in the metaphysics world were serious enough to gather together every year to hold a high-level conference.Later, he learned from Pei Yu that this Tianshi Congress was purely a matter of face, and even the chairman of the meeting, Xiuzhen Jun, promised at the meeting last year: "Don't worry, fellow Taoists, it will definitely be canceled in the lifetime of the poor." Heavenly Master Congress!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of applause immediately, and even Master Ye applauded quite approvingly.
So, you can't have any hope for these unreliable magic sticks, they will only refresh your lower limit time and time again.
Xi Jia slandered for a long time, and asked, "Then is this problem solved?"
Ye Jingzhi nodded first, then shook his head: "At that time, Tiangongzhai issued a reward order, whoever solved the problem of transforming Yin Qi and electricity could get [-] points. Later, Tiangongzhai's big brother Fellow Daoists of Weights and Measures set up a research group to solve this problem, but..."
"but what?"
"But none of the seniors would really use this method to play with their mobile phones at the Tianshi Congress."
Xi Jia asked, "Why?"
"Because Yin Qi is consumed a lot when it is converted into electricity. The Yin Qi of a hundred-year-old ghost can convert at most one degree of electricity, and the conversion efficiency is extremely low. No senior can find so many ghosts and so much Yin Qi, so After the Fellow Daoist of Weights and Measures took the reward order, this research was put on hold by Tiangongzhai."
Listening to Ye Jingzhi's words, Xi Jia's expression kept changing.After a long time, he asked: "...You said, is it feasible for us to electrify the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang?"
Ye Jingzhi: "..."
Xi Jia thought about it again: "We have to connect the Mausoleum of the First Emperor to the Internet, otherwise Ziying will only be able to play with the dot reader forever."
Ye Jingzhi: "..."
The more I thought about it, the more I realized it was feasible. Xi Jia was already planning to buy a plane ticket to Chang’an, and go directly to electrify the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, but Ye Jingzhi reminded: “There is no power company that can electrify the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. It's more than 300 meters underground."
Xi Jia: "..."
After pondering for a long time, Xi Jia said: "Then can you ask people from the metaphysics world to help you dig a hole to go to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor and electrify the Mausoleum of the First Emperor?"
Ye Jingzhi: "..." After a while, he reminded again: "We can't enter the gate of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor..."
Xi Jia: "..."
So, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor cannot be connected to the electricity or the Internet, and Ziying can only read "soeasy" to the dot reader for a few days, and then burn another dot reader for him?
Seeing Xi Jia's hesitant and restless expression, Ye Jingzhi quickly thought of a solution: "I'll go to the fellow weigher and measure to discuss with him and see if he can improve the conversion efficiency of Yin Qi into electricity." After speaking, Ye Jingzhi took He was about to ask a friend for help when he took out his phone, but just as he took out the phone, Xi Jia suddenly realized: "Wait, Yin Qi is converted into electricity? Master Ye, you just said that because you can't find so much Yin Qi, Did Tiangongzhai give up on this plan?"
Ye Jingzhi nodded: "Yes, the Yin energy of a hundred-year-old ghost is only enough to transform into one degree of electricity."
Xi Jia silently tore off the relic around his neck.
boom!
A dark and thick Yin Qi rose from the ground, and in the next second, Xi Jia was no longer in front of Ye Jingzhi's eyes, only a big black ball remained.Master Ye quickly drew two spells on his eyes to seal the yin and yang eyes, and only then did he see his daughter-in-law again.
Xi Jia smiled slightly: "Master Ye, how much electricity do you think...my Yin Qi can be transformed into?"
Ye Jingzhi: "..."
In the afternoon of that day, Xi Jia burned a reading machine for Ziying, and a dozen pieces of spirit stones filled with yin energy.The yin energy in each piece of spirit stone is comparable to a 500-year-old ghost. However, when Ye Jingzhi took the yin energy from Xi Jia's body, the yin energy on Xi Jia's body hardly decreased.
His yin qi is like a bottomless pit, no matter how much he takes from it, there will be a steady stream of yin qi climbing up his body from the ground and penetrating into it bit by bit.
After Ye Jingzhi cast the spell, Xi Jia burned the things in Sucheng, and Ziying received them in Chang'an.Xi Jia carefully explained to Ziying how to use the point reader, and told him how to charge the point reader with Yin Qi.
The two chatted for a while, and when Xi Jia was about to end the call, Ziying smiled lightly: "Father woke up yesterday."
Xi Jia was very surprised: "So fast? Didn't you say, at least a year?"
Ziying's gentle voice sounded in Xi Jia's mind: "I underestimated the strength of my father, and I also underestimated the Longevity Palace that Xu Guoshi built for my father. Yesterday, my father woke up. I never thought that he would Come to see me, when I saw my father, I was a little rude."
Xi Jia asked curiously, "What did you do?"
In Xi Jia's impression, he didn't get along with Ziying very much, but the other party was a steady and mature person who knew etiquette and followed the rules.Such a well-behaved Ziying would actually be rude in front of the First Emperor?
Ziying was a little shy, Xi Jia asked again, and he said: "I was reading the seventh volume of the mathematics textbook. There were many things in the textbook that I had never thought of, such as the problem of chicken and rabbit in the same cage. The Tao question is written in ancient Chinese, I understood it very quickly, and it took me a quarter of an hour to come up with the answer. But the method of solving the question in the book is quite interesting, simple and convenient, and I couldn’t help but be fascinated by it. I didn’t even know that my father came , I forgot to salute my father. Fortunately, my father was not angry, nor did I condemn me."
It took Ziying a few days to learn simplified Chinese characters, and he even finished reading the elementary school Chinese textbooks.But he has been reading the math textbooks for a long time, and he has only read the fourth grade courses until now.
Xi Jia said with emotion: "Ziying, if you were placed in our era, you would be a pure-bred liberal arts student. Your language talent is too strong. You learned simplified characters in a few days. Maybe you will learn English very quickly."
"Your reputation is too high, Ziying deserves it."
Talking about studying, Xi Jia and Ziying chatted for a while, and finally he asked casually: "By the way, since the first emperor is awake, what is he doing now? Could it be that he wants to leave the imperial mausoleum?"
This question fell down, and after a full 10 minutes, Ziying didn't reply.
Xi Jia asked again in surprise: "Ziying?"
After coughing twice, Ziying lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "Yesterday, my father saw me reading the seventh volume of mathematics textbooks. He asked me what I was doing, and I reported the truth. Father was very disdainful. He said that I was too If he is too dull, he is not as good as Fu Su, nor is he as good as Hu Hai, he looks down on these simple technical problems."
Speaking of this, Ziying paused, and there was no inferiority complex or sadness in his voice, only a hint of helpless smile: "Father said, the reason why I succeed more than fail is because I put my mind on such things." Strange skills and ingenuity. You shouldn’t worry too much about things like this, they can be solved with just one glance. A man should set his sights on the world and not stick to a small problem.”
Xi Jia: "So, what is Shihuang doing now?"
Ziying suppressed his laughter and teased, "Father left yesterday with a sixth-grade math textbook. Now, I don't know what he's doing."
The result was completely different from what he had imagined, Xi Jia asked in surprise, "Sixth grade math book?"
"Well, just now my father called me to his Palace of Eternal Life in disgust, and asked me to report to him what is a linear equation in binary."
Xi Jia: "..."
Ziying added another blow: "I think the father seems to be thinking about a problem called cattle eating grass. He ordered the ghosts of the soldiers in the mausoleum to act as cows and grass respectively to help him solve the problem. The father said, Today, he will unravel these meaningless tricks and tricks and tell me the answer. Now, I am waiting for Father's answer. But I think Father may not be able to solve this problem."
Xi Jia: "..."
Ziying, you have changed!What about Shihuang blowing?
It is agreed that there will be no regrets in this life, and you will not look back for the rest of your life?
You are actually laughing at your Shihuang's father for being poor in math!
She and Ziying were only separated for more than ten days, but Xi Jia felt that Ziying seemed much happier.
I don't know if it was changed by the primary school textbook of Huaxia's nine-year compulsory education, or if he finally untied his knot, was accepted by Shi Huang, and took him home himself.Xi Jia thought about it for a long time, and decided: Well, it must be the elementary school textbooks that have brought a huge impact on Ziying, allowing him, his father, to see a wider sky.
After this incident, Xi Jia planned to buy some literary masterpieces for Ziying and burn them, such as "Principles of Marxism", "The Important Thought of Three Represents", "Scientific Outlook on Development"... Maybe after reading these books, Ziying You can completely change your appearance and devote yourself to building a new society that is civilized, harmonious, prosperous, strong and democratic.
After solving Ziying's problem, Xi Jia told Ye Jingzhi that the first emperor had woken up.Ye Jingzhi told the situation to everyone in the metaphysics circle. Those seniors were really surprised and panicked. A large group of people ran to Chang'an again, planning to add another hundred barriers outside the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.
The days passed quickly, mid-April passed, and by the end of April, Xi Jia was playing with her mobile phone at home when she suddenly received a call.
"Brother Jia! It's not good, are you in Sioux City now?"
Xi Jia hadn't contacted Chen Tao for a long time. He thought that Chen Tao called to ask him to film a movie, but he didn't expect the other party's tone to be urgent, as if he had encountered some difficulty.
Xi Jia straightened his face and said, "I'm in Sucheng. What's the matter, what happened?"
Chen Tao was taken aback, and asked, "You don't know what happened?"
Xi Jia asked strangely: "Didn't you call me? How do I know what happened?"
Chen Tao said in a hurry: "That incident was so big, you didn't know it? It was Wang Ru and Li Xiao. Do you remember them? Our college classmates are in the second class next door. We often have dinner together. Li Xiao The dormitory is next door to us, don't our two dormitories often have dinner together?"
Hearing what Chen Tao said, Xi Jia recalled carefully, and finally found two people in the corner of memory.
Xi Jia moved to Sioux City with his father when he was a child. He studied high school and university in Sioux City, so he is considered a half-local.When he was studying in Sucheng, Xi Jia entered the famous computer department of Monk Temple in the school. At that time, there were three classes in the entire computer department, and there were only six girls in total, and one of them was Kaoru from the second class.
When he was in college, Xi Jia seldom interacted with his classmates because Taishan Stone could not cover up the increasingly strong yin energy, and only played more with Chen Tao.However, Chen Tao is a very active person. He eats very well in the department and has friends everywhere.In order not to make his good brother too withdrawn, he often took Xi Jia to various dinner parties.
It was because of Chen Tao that Xi Jia was not completely ignored by his classmates.
Wang Ru is the flower of the Department of Computer Science. Compared with her, Li Xiao is very ordinary, not outstanding at all.But in junior year, this plain-looking man with glasses actually fell in love with Xihua, which caused a sensation in the college all of a sudden, and Xi Jia had a little impression of him.
Xi Jia's voice was calm: "I remember them, what's the matter, what happened to them?"
Chen Tao said: "Wang Ru and Li Xiao got married as soon as they graduated from university. I told you about this. I went to their wedding last year. Brother Jia, you refused to come at that time. Su Cheng, if you don't come, the classmates will still say that you are coming in private."
Those few days were in the middle of July when the gate of ghosts opened, and Xi Jia's yin energy was too heavy, he didn't dare to go out to meet people, for fear of getting his yin energy on others.
Chen Tao added: "Half of our college classmates are staying in Sioux City. Last week, there was a big case in Sioux City, and the whole Sioux City was discussing it. It has been hotly discussed on the Internet for several days, but you didn't pay attention? The one who died is Li Xiao! It was Wang Ru who killed him!"
Xi Jia was stunned for a moment.
On the phone, Chen Tao was still talking: "Today I received a WeChat message from the squad leader. Tomorrow is Li Xiao's funeral. I'm filming in Tibet now, so I can't go. Brother Jia, are you going? Why don't you also be in Suzhou City? , We have just graduated for a year, Li Xiao had a good time with our dormitory, now... he is dying so badly now, you should go there."
As soon as Chen Tao finished speaking, Xi Jia received a WeChat message.The squad leader sent him a message, inviting him to attend Li Xiao's funeral tomorrow.According to the squad leader, because Li Xiao was murdered, his body was dissected by the forensic doctor and investigated by the criminal police. It was not returned to the family until yesterday, allowing him to be buried.We are all classmates, I hope Xi Jia will be there to give Li Xiao a ride.Don't gossip about things, just come and see your classmates off quietly.
Xi Jia looked at this message with narrow eyes, and did not respond for a long time.
Listening to Kong Li, Chen Tao's voice came: "Oh, I remember that when I graduated last year, Li Xiao was very happy, and proposed to Wang Ru in public at the graduation ceremony. Everyone was so happy at that time, why did it only pass a year? It turned out like this. Brother Jia, I know you don’t like to socialize with people, but Li Xiao... died really badly. I had fun with him back then. If it’s convenient for you, give him a ride. .”
Xi Jia put the phone back to her ear, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will take your heart and go to his funeral together."
Chen Tao immediately said: "Okay! Brother Jia, I'll give you some money right now. Li Xiao's family seems to be quite rich, but this is a little kindness from our classmates. Help me to give to my uncle and aunt together."
Xi Jia did not refuse Chen Tao's kindness, he deliberately found an envelope from the drawer, stuffed Chen Tao's 500 yuan into it, and stuffed [-] yuan himself.On the envelope were the names of two people, and he would give it to Li Xiao's parents at the funeral tomorrow.
After finishing all this, Xi Jia turned on her mobile phone and searched for the case from half a month ago.
The first time Chen Tao mentioned this case, the interview news he had seen on TV half a month ago appeared in Xi Jia's mind.At that time, he didn't pay attention to the name of the deceased at all, and he didn't expect that the dead person turned out to be his old classmate.
Sure enough, there are many people discussing this case on the Internet.
This case is actually very simple, and the evidence is conclusive. Some neighbors saw the hostess escape from the house covered in blood, and some neighbors saw that the young couple had a big fight before the crime happened, and they had a quarrel.
The only thing that can draw attention to this case is the tragic death of the parties involved.
It is unknown who secretly took photos of Li Xiao's death before the police arrived.That photo is constantly deleted on the Internet, but there are always boring netizens who save the photo and post the photo again and again.
In that blurry photo, Li Xiao's face was cut open, and his head was split in two, like a split watermelon, falling on the ground on both sides.The two cut faces were bloody and mutilated by the knife, and the facial features could not be seen at all, only a sticky mass of red flesh and blood could be seen.His two eyeballs had long since fallen out of the severed eye sockets, his white brains were sticky and sticky on the eyeballs, his pupils were staring fixedly at the ceiling, not knowing what he was looking at.
Xi Jia has seen a lot of ghosts with strange deaths since she was a child, but when she saw Li Xiao's photo, she was still so disgusted that she almost vomited.
Because the murder method was too cruel, various news media reported on the case.After killing someone, Wang Ru fled and was not caught by the police until last week.People from all walks of life are severely denouncing this woman, calling her a poisonous snake and scorpion woman, and calling this case the "Qiuhu poisonous woman murder case".
[This woman married someone for money in the first place, but now she actually killed her! 】
[Phoenix man is scary, but Phoenix girl is so scary!Must be executed, shoot her! 】
[This kind of woman doesn't know how many cuckolds she put on men behind her back, and even killed her husband, she must be sentenced to death! 】
Looking at these reports and the comments below, Xi Jia slowly outlined the whole story of the case.
This case was so simple that it couldn't be simpler. It was that the husband and wife had a quarrel and fought a lot, which resulted in murder.Wang Ru couldn't deny the guilt at all, because she and Li Xiao were in the house at the time, and the neighbors also heard that they had been arguing, and her fingerprints were on the murder knife, so she couldn't deny it.
However, this case also leads to the truth of an unsolved mystery in Sioux City University: why Li Xiao, who is mediocre in appearance, can marry Xihua.
During college, Xi Jia seldom communicated with others, but she also knew that most of the boys in the department were unhappy with Li Xiao.
Wang Ru is really beautiful, she was not selected as the flower of the Department of Computer Science because there are few girls in the Department of Computer Science.She is very popular in the school and is the pillar of the drama club. She participated in the campus singing competition and won an award.After she fell in love with Li Xiao, everyone thought it was a flower stuck in cow dung.
After reading these reports, Xi Jia knew that Wang Ru was a native of Sucheng, but her family was in a difficult situation and she lived in the countryside.When she was in her junior year, her father was seriously ill. The family was already poor, and to pay for medical expenses, it became even more destitute.Li Xiao had known Wang Ru since he was a child. He was from the same village. His parents had become prosperous more than ten years ago and made a lot of money, so the two families separated.
This happened to Wang Ru's family, and Li Xiao's parents generously donated money. Wang Ru didn't know why, so she began to fall in love with Li Xiao, and after graduating from university, she married Li Xiao and became a housewife.
Most of the previous hot news on the Internet were condemning the Phoenix man, but it was the first time that the Phoenix woman appeared, and netizens discussed it intensely.Some netizens also launched a poll, asking whether they should immediately give Wang Ru the death penalty.In the voting results, "support the death penalty" has the upper hand with an absolute advantage of 92%.
Xi Jia looked at these netizens' comments with a blank face, and turned off the phone.He rubbed his forehead, what came to mind was not Li Xiao, but the legendary "Jiyuan" flower.
Before Wang Ru and Li Xiao fell in love, many students thought that Wang Ru would be with Xi Jia.
When she was a freshman, Xi Jia received a love letter from Wang Ru.He himself is not good at communicating with people, and he has never paid attention to this flower, so he directly rejected it.In the next few years, whenever he and Wang Ru appeared in the same place, the classmates always booed, clamoring that Xihua wanted to be with Xicao, a perfect match.
In Xi Jia's memory, the girl with the ponytail always wears plain and simple clothes.In summer, all other girls wear beautiful skirts, but she always wears ordinary T-shirts and washed-white jeans. She has never changed for four years in college.
He remembered that at the graduation ceremony, when the girl was suddenly proposed, she didn't have much surprise and joy on her face, but instead looked around in panic and looked at him.
At that time, Chen Tao booed from the side: "Promise him! Promise him! Promise him!"
Xi Jia didn't like to participate in this kind of lively thing. Seeing Wang Ru looking at him, he smiled and nodded at her, then continued to play with his phone with his head down.
That girl actually used such a cruel method to kill her husband...
Xi Jia sighed softly.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Xi Jia said that she was going to attend the funeral of her classmate.Ye Jingzhi froze for a moment: "Do you want me to go with you?"
Xi Jia shook her head and said with a smile, "No need, I'm just attending the funeral of my classmate."
Ye Jingzhi nodded knowingly, a little worried.
Xi Jia asked: "Master Ye, I heard that people who die suddenly will not be reincarnated soon, but will stay in the mortal world. Is this true?"
Ye Jingzhi replied: "Well, there is such a situation. Most people who die violently will have resentment after death. Those with light resentment will become wandering spirits, staying in the mortal world for one or two days, up to seven days; those with severe resentment will become ghosts. Li Gui, if you don't take revenge and kill people, you will never give up."
After thinking about it for a long time, Xi Jia decided to show Ye Jingzhi the photo.
When Ye Jingzhi saw the horrific and bloody photo, his pupils shrank slightly. After a while, he raised his head and asked, "Are you going to attend this person's funeral?"
Xi Jia nodded: "He is my classmate. Although I don't know him very well, everyone is in Sucheng. His death caused a lot of trouble this time. Chen Tao has a good relationship with him. He can't come because he has something to do. I hope I can replace him. Him, to the funeral."
Ye Jingzhi frowned: "This kind of killing method... is too vicious, this person's ghost must still be left in the world. Just go to the place where he died, and he should be able to find his ghost. Xi Jia, we accompany you."
"no need."
Ye Jingzhi was slightly startled: "?"
Xi Jia covered her lips and coughed: "Ahem, I just... just asked casually, and I didn't plan to find his ghost. The police have identified the murderer, and I'm just going to attend the funeral today."
Ye Jingzhi wanted to say more, but Xi Jia quickly finished his porridge, got up and left without giving Ye Jingzhi a chance to react.
After getting on the bus, Xi Jia breathed a sigh of relief and finally relaxed.
For some reason, he didn't really want Master Ye to go with him, especially... to meet Li Xiao.Once he sees Li Xiao's ghost, he will definitely mention Wang Ru, and when he mentions Wang Ru, maybe he will talk about what Wang Ru confessed to him back then.
Let Master Ye know about his private affairs... It doesn't feel right.
Well, he just didn't want the other party to intervene because he didn't want Master Ye to know about his private affairs.
That's why!
The bus slowly climbed from the east side of Sioux City to the Qiuhu District on the west side of Sioux City.It was around nine o'clock when Xi Jia arrived at the funeral. Before he officially saw the mourning hall, both sides of the road were filled with wreaths and flowers.These wreaths were placed along the road, all the way to the mourning hall.Many strangers came to the scene with flowers and placed the bouquets gently on the side of the road.
"That kind of vicious woman, you must not let her die cheaply. It's disgusting!"
"That's right, she's a poisonous woman, a femme fatale!"
Two passers-by walked past Xi Jia, obviously people who had read the report.
Xi Jia shook his head and walked into the mourning hall.He handed the white envelope to Li Xiao's parents, said "sorry", and then went to sit in the mourning hall.
Sitting in the mourning hall were all Li Xiao's relatives, friends and classmates.Many of Xi Jia's college classmates came. Seeing him coming, they all looked at him in surprise, pointed at him and whispered, but few of them came forward to say hello to him.
Chen Tao is not around, these people will not take the initiative to talk to him.
But after a while, journalists and media flocked to fill the mourning hall.Li Xiao's parents cried bitterly on the stage, scolding that vicious woman.They cried so much that they knelt on the ground, hugging the black-and-white photo of their son tightly, begging God to give him justice, and make sure that the woman died badly.
A funeral turned into a press conference, with chaos and few people actually crying.
After the funeral, Xi Jia was about to leave, but was stopped by a reporter.The reporter looked at his face carefully, his eyes lit up, and he handed over the microphone: "Sir, who are you from Mr. Liu Chao (pseudonym)? You came to his funeral today, what do you want to say?" What do you think of this case?"
Xi Jia wanted to leave, but the reporters blocked his way. He could only say, "I'm his college classmate."
The reporter was pleasantly surprised: "Then you are also a college classmate of the suspect? May I ask what impression do you have of the deceased and the suspect? Are you angry that the suspect killed the deceased so cruelly? Did the suspect have violent tendencies when he was in college?" ?”
Xi Jia said with a cold face, "No comment."
"This sir, sir!"
Xi Jia walked away mercilessly. The reporter wanted to stop him, but traces of black yin energy slowly wrapped around his body.Entangled in black air, the reporter shivered unconsciously,
Xi Jia hasn't cooked for a long time, since Ye Jing moved in last month, no matter how busy he is, he will take time to prepare every meal.Ye Jingzhi's cooking skills are really good, and the simple home-cooked dishes taste delicious in his hands. Xi Jia was taken care of by Master Ye. After cooking a meal by himself the next day, he found that the taste was very ordinary. .
Ye Jingzhi has also cooked some of Xi Jia's dishes these days.When he lived alone before, he never felt that his cooking was not good.However, there can be no comparison in everything. After comparing with Ye Jingzhi's dishes, Xi Jia felt that he couldn't eat.
At the dinner table, the young man in charge of the spoon held the chopsticks and poked the rice in his bowl absent-mindedly.Opposite him, Master Ye was eating very seriously, as if he was eating some delicacies from mountains and seas.
Seeing Ye Jingzhi's concentration on eating, Xi Jia's face was full of embarrassment: "...Master Ye, what I cook is not very delicious."
Ye Jingzhi put a large chopstick of vegetables into the bowl, and looked up at Xi Jia in a daze: "It's delicious."
Xi Jia: "Huh?"
Ye Jingzhi's eyes were sincere, and he didn't seem to be lying at all.Xi Jia picked up sliced lotus root with chopsticks suspiciously, and he chewed it a couple of times. Although he said he had eaten it, he panicked. It was obvious that there was too much salt.
Seeing that Ye Jingzhi was still eating happily, Xi Jia tentatively asked: "Master Ye, do you really think it's delicious? Is it better than your cooking?"
Ye Jingzhi said seriously: "It's delicious, better than mine."
While talking, Ye Jingzhi had already filled another bowl of rice.In the past, Ye Jingzhi only ate one bowl of rice at a time, but this time he moved swiftly, filling one bowl and asking for another.If it's just perfunctory Xi Jia, there's no need to act to such an extent, but he really ate all the dishes, not even a grain of rice left in the rice cooker.
Xi Jia: "..." It's over, is there something wrong with Master Ye's sense of taste...
At the end of the meal, Xi Jia simply put down the bowl and chopsticks and only watched Ye Jingzhi eat.Master Ye didn't eat very elegantly, but he didn't gobble it up either, but he seemed to be enjoying himself.If you cook a table of dishes and someone eats them happily, you will always feel very comfortable.
Xi Jia supported her chin with one hand, and there was a hint of a smile in her voice: "Master Ye, why don't I continue cooking tomorrow?"
Ye Jingzhi paused with his chopsticks in mid-air, slowly raised his head, and looked at Xi Jia.After a long time, he asked, "Will you still cook for me?"
Xi Jia nodded.
The corners of Ye Jingzhi's mouth curled up slightly, and he didn't speak any more.
After eating, Ye Jingzhi refused to let Xi Jia wash the dishes. He stood in the kitchen, stared down at the sink, and carefully cleaned every corner of the dishes.Xi Jia didn't refuse either, and sat on the sofa watching TV.
This kind of life is very flat, without too many ups and downs.Just like any pair of ordinary cohabitants, you are in charge of cooking, and I am in charge of washing dishes. Everything I do is very ordinary, but I can't help but feel warm in my heart.
While watching TV, Xi Jia involuntarily turned his gaze away to the person standing in the kitchen.From his angle, he could only see Ye Jingzhi's back. He was thin, tall but thin. This person had suffered a lot, perhaps more than he had.
In fact, it feels good to just live with Master Ye like this?
This idea flashed through Xi Jia's mind quickly, he immediately frowned, and put aside this unrealistic idea.
As soon as he looked away, Xi Jia heard a hurried voice from the TV: "Now we have arrived at the scene in the Qiuhu District of Sucheng. The police received a report at 1:32 this morning that a murder occurred in the Qiuhu District. It is extremely tragic, let us follow the reporter and take a look at the specific situation..."
Xi Jia watched the TV, only to realize that she had accidentally tuned the channel to a local channel in Sioux City.
On the TV, a young reporter is conducting an interview.He was standing in a newly built high-end community, and many residents of the community gathered around seeing the TV cameras.As soon as the reporter asked a question, the onlookers started talking very eagerly.
"It's terrible, it's really terrible. I slept soundly last night, and suddenly I heard someone arguing in the community. You said it's normal for the young couple to quarrel at the head of the bed, and we also I'm used to it. They've been arguing for hours!"
"No, I heard them arguing after eleven o'clock, and it lasted until one o'clock. The woman hacked the man to death with a knife. I saw it with my own eyes. His man was killed. When the police carried it out, there was blood all over his face, all blood!"
"It was so frightening that I couldn't fall asleep all night. I heard people say that the man of his family died so badly that his eyeballs fell out!"
After listening for a while, Xi Jia frowned, changed the channel, and started watching entertainment programs.
Although Sioux City is one of the larger prefecture-level cities in the country, it has always been safe and there are very few major criminal cases.Last year, there was a drunk driving accident in Sioux City. The person driving a luxury car drunk and crashed into a bus stop, killing five people on the spot.This incident caused a lot of uproar in Sucheng, and it was also on the Internet's hot searches.
In that case, five people died, but it was just a drunk driving case.This kind of case can be discussed in Sioux City for a while, which shows that the life in Sioux City is stable, the people are safe and sound, and criminal cases of a bad nature rarely happen.
Xi Jia was not interested in taking care of that case any more. He had just changed the channel when he heard a deep male voice behind him: "Is it a murder case?"
Xi Jia nodded, turned to look at Ye Jingzhi: "Well, it should be that the husband and wife quarreled, and the woman killed the man impulsively."
Ye Jingzhi gave a soft "hmm" and sat down on the sofa.He sat on the single sofa, with his back straight, and he turned his head sideways to watch TV.
What was shown on TV was a very ordinary variety show, and there weren't many laughs, so Xi Jia just watched it casually.Halfway through, he suddenly heard Ye Jingzhi ask cautiously: "Can I... sit by your side?"
Xi Jia was slightly taken aback: "?"
Ye Jingzhi's ears were slightly red, and he explained: "It's not very convenient for me to sit here and watch TV."
Xi Jia understood immediately, and nodded with a smile: "Master Ye, you can sit wherever you want, the sofa is very big."
Master Ye got permission, got up and sat down.The two continued to watch TV with a distance of half a meter.Ye Jingzhi's eyes stayed on the TV screen for a while, and then quietly turned to look at Xi Jia.Whenever Xi Jia moved slightly, he immediately looked away nervously, not knowing what to do or what to say.
After watching TV for a while, Ye Jingzhi secretly turned his gaze away again. He had just turned halfway, when Xi Jia clapped his hands and said, "By the way, Master Ye, Ziying told me last night that he already knows the basics of books. The simplified characters on the page may only take a few days to finish reading the Chinese textbook. However, mathematics and English are a bit difficult for him, especially English, which he does not know at all. I want to buy a dot reader for him. It is feasible. ?"
Ye Jingzhi was so frightened that he immediately turned his head. After hearing this, he asked in confusion, "Dot reader?"
Xi Jia nodded: "Yes, point reader. It's the one that doesn't know where to click."
Ye Jingzhi: "...Where can't you order?"
Xi Jia didn't know how to describe it all at once. He thought about the advertisements he had seen before, looked sideways at Ye Jingzhi, and imitated the little girl in the advertisements: "It's that...soeasy. Master Ye, you don't know ?”
Ye Jingzhi shook his head: "I've never heard of such a thing."
Xi Jia simply turned on the phone, searched for photos of the reader on the Internet, and explained it to Ye Jingzhi. "... What I am more concerned about is whether the point reader can still be used after it burns out? The point reader is an electrical appliance and needs electricity. Can Ziying use electricity? After the point reader burns out, Can it be recharged?"
Ye Jingzhi said: "Tiangongzhai once studied this kind of thing, using Yin Qi instead of electricity to power electrical appliances."
Xi Jia asked in surprise, "Why did they study this?"
Ye Jingzhi explained patiently: "Every year, the Tianshi Congress is held for ten days and ten nights, and there are very few things that can be brought. By the last three days of the meeting, basically everyone's mobile phones are dead. Tiangongzhai The seniors want to study the method of transforming Yin Qi into electricity, from now on, as long as some Yin Qi is stored with spirit stones and brought over, you can play with your mobile phone forever at the Tianshi Congress.”
Xi Jia: "..."
Xi Jia had heard of this celestial masters congress before, and he thought that people in the metaphysics world were serious enough to gather together every year to hold a high-level conference.Later, he learned from Pei Yu that this Tianshi Congress was purely a matter of face, and even the chairman of the meeting, Xiuzhen Jun, promised at the meeting last year: "Don't worry, fellow Taoists, it will definitely be canceled in the lifetime of the poor." Heavenly Master Congress!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of applause immediately, and even Master Ye applauded quite approvingly.
So, you can't have any hope for these unreliable magic sticks, they will only refresh your lower limit time and time again.
Xi Jia slandered for a long time, and asked, "Then is this problem solved?"
Ye Jingzhi nodded first, then shook his head: "At that time, Tiangongzhai issued a reward order, whoever solved the problem of transforming Yin Qi and electricity could get [-] points. Later, Tiangongzhai's big brother Fellow Daoists of Weights and Measures set up a research group to solve this problem, but..."
"but what?"
"But none of the seniors would really use this method to play with their mobile phones at the Tianshi Congress."
Xi Jia asked, "Why?"
"Because Yin Qi is consumed a lot when it is converted into electricity. The Yin Qi of a hundred-year-old ghost can convert at most one degree of electricity, and the conversion efficiency is extremely low. No senior can find so many ghosts and so much Yin Qi, so After the Fellow Daoist of Weights and Measures took the reward order, this research was put on hold by Tiangongzhai."
Listening to Ye Jingzhi's words, Xi Jia's expression kept changing.After a long time, he asked: "...You said, is it feasible for us to electrify the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang?"
Ye Jingzhi: "..."
Xi Jia thought about it again: "We have to connect the Mausoleum of the First Emperor to the Internet, otherwise Ziying will only be able to play with the dot reader forever."
Ye Jingzhi: "..."
The more I thought about it, the more I realized it was feasible. Xi Jia was already planning to buy a plane ticket to Chang’an, and go directly to electrify the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, but Ye Jingzhi reminded: “There is no power company that can electrify the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. It's more than 300 meters underground."
Xi Jia: "..."
After pondering for a long time, Xi Jia said: "Then can you ask people from the metaphysics world to help you dig a hole to go to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor and electrify the Mausoleum of the First Emperor?"
Ye Jingzhi: "..." After a while, he reminded again: "We can't enter the gate of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor..."
Xi Jia: "..."
So, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor cannot be connected to the electricity or the Internet, and Ziying can only read "soeasy" to the dot reader for a few days, and then burn another dot reader for him?
Seeing Xi Jia's hesitant and restless expression, Ye Jingzhi quickly thought of a solution: "I'll go to the fellow weigher and measure to discuss with him and see if he can improve the conversion efficiency of Yin Qi into electricity." After speaking, Ye Jingzhi took He was about to ask a friend for help when he took out his phone, but just as he took out the phone, Xi Jia suddenly realized: "Wait, Yin Qi is converted into electricity? Master Ye, you just said that because you can't find so much Yin Qi, Did Tiangongzhai give up on this plan?"
Ye Jingzhi nodded: "Yes, the Yin energy of a hundred-year-old ghost is only enough to transform into one degree of electricity."
Xi Jia silently tore off the relic around his neck.
boom!
A dark and thick Yin Qi rose from the ground, and in the next second, Xi Jia was no longer in front of Ye Jingzhi's eyes, only a big black ball remained.Master Ye quickly drew two spells on his eyes to seal the yin and yang eyes, and only then did he see his daughter-in-law again.
Xi Jia smiled slightly: "Master Ye, how much electricity do you think...my Yin Qi can be transformed into?"
Ye Jingzhi: "..."
In the afternoon of that day, Xi Jia burned a reading machine for Ziying, and a dozen pieces of spirit stones filled with yin energy.The yin energy in each piece of spirit stone is comparable to a 500-year-old ghost. However, when Ye Jingzhi took the yin energy from Xi Jia's body, the yin energy on Xi Jia's body hardly decreased.
His yin qi is like a bottomless pit, no matter how much he takes from it, there will be a steady stream of yin qi climbing up his body from the ground and penetrating into it bit by bit.
After Ye Jingzhi cast the spell, Xi Jia burned the things in Sucheng, and Ziying received them in Chang'an.Xi Jia carefully explained to Ziying how to use the point reader, and told him how to charge the point reader with Yin Qi.
The two chatted for a while, and when Xi Jia was about to end the call, Ziying smiled lightly: "Father woke up yesterday."
Xi Jia was very surprised: "So fast? Didn't you say, at least a year?"
Ziying's gentle voice sounded in Xi Jia's mind: "I underestimated the strength of my father, and I also underestimated the Longevity Palace that Xu Guoshi built for my father. Yesterday, my father woke up. I never thought that he would Come to see me, when I saw my father, I was a little rude."
Xi Jia asked curiously, "What did you do?"
In Xi Jia's impression, he didn't get along with Ziying very much, but the other party was a steady and mature person who knew etiquette and followed the rules.Such a well-behaved Ziying would actually be rude in front of the First Emperor?
Ziying was a little shy, Xi Jia asked again, and he said: "I was reading the seventh volume of the mathematics textbook. There were many things in the textbook that I had never thought of, such as the problem of chicken and rabbit in the same cage. The Tao question is written in ancient Chinese, I understood it very quickly, and it took me a quarter of an hour to come up with the answer. But the method of solving the question in the book is quite interesting, simple and convenient, and I couldn’t help but be fascinated by it. I didn’t even know that my father came , I forgot to salute my father. Fortunately, my father was not angry, nor did I condemn me."
It took Ziying a few days to learn simplified Chinese characters, and he even finished reading the elementary school Chinese textbooks.But he has been reading the math textbooks for a long time, and he has only read the fourth grade courses until now.
Xi Jia said with emotion: "Ziying, if you were placed in our era, you would be a pure-bred liberal arts student. Your language talent is too strong. You learned simplified characters in a few days. Maybe you will learn English very quickly."
"Your reputation is too high, Ziying deserves it."
Talking about studying, Xi Jia and Ziying chatted for a while, and finally he asked casually: "By the way, since the first emperor is awake, what is he doing now? Could it be that he wants to leave the imperial mausoleum?"
This question fell down, and after a full 10 minutes, Ziying didn't reply.
Xi Jia asked again in surprise: "Ziying?"
After coughing twice, Ziying lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "Yesterday, my father saw me reading the seventh volume of mathematics textbooks. He asked me what I was doing, and I reported the truth. Father was very disdainful. He said that I was too If he is too dull, he is not as good as Fu Su, nor is he as good as Hu Hai, he looks down on these simple technical problems."
Speaking of this, Ziying paused, and there was no inferiority complex or sadness in his voice, only a hint of helpless smile: "Father said, the reason why I succeed more than fail is because I put my mind on such things." Strange skills and ingenuity. You shouldn’t worry too much about things like this, they can be solved with just one glance. A man should set his sights on the world and not stick to a small problem.”
Xi Jia: "So, what is Shihuang doing now?"
Ziying suppressed his laughter and teased, "Father left yesterday with a sixth-grade math textbook. Now, I don't know what he's doing."
The result was completely different from what he had imagined, Xi Jia asked in surprise, "Sixth grade math book?"
"Well, just now my father called me to his Palace of Eternal Life in disgust, and asked me to report to him what is a linear equation in binary."
Xi Jia: "..."
Ziying added another blow: "I think the father seems to be thinking about a problem called cattle eating grass. He ordered the ghosts of the soldiers in the mausoleum to act as cows and grass respectively to help him solve the problem. The father said, Today, he will unravel these meaningless tricks and tricks and tell me the answer. Now, I am waiting for Father's answer. But I think Father may not be able to solve this problem."
Xi Jia: "..."
Ziying, you have changed!What about Shihuang blowing?
It is agreed that there will be no regrets in this life, and you will not look back for the rest of your life?
You are actually laughing at your Shihuang's father for being poor in math!
She and Ziying were only separated for more than ten days, but Xi Jia felt that Ziying seemed much happier.
I don't know if it was changed by the primary school textbook of Huaxia's nine-year compulsory education, or if he finally untied his knot, was accepted by Shi Huang, and took him home himself.Xi Jia thought about it for a long time, and decided: Well, it must be the elementary school textbooks that have brought a huge impact on Ziying, allowing him, his father, to see a wider sky.
After this incident, Xi Jia planned to buy some literary masterpieces for Ziying and burn them, such as "Principles of Marxism", "The Important Thought of Three Represents", "Scientific Outlook on Development"... Maybe after reading these books, Ziying You can completely change your appearance and devote yourself to building a new society that is civilized, harmonious, prosperous, strong and democratic.
After solving Ziying's problem, Xi Jia told Ye Jingzhi that the first emperor had woken up.Ye Jingzhi told the situation to everyone in the metaphysics circle. Those seniors were really surprised and panicked. A large group of people ran to Chang'an again, planning to add another hundred barriers outside the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.
The days passed quickly, mid-April passed, and by the end of April, Xi Jia was playing with her mobile phone at home when she suddenly received a call.
"Brother Jia! It's not good, are you in Sioux City now?"
Xi Jia hadn't contacted Chen Tao for a long time. He thought that Chen Tao called to ask him to film a movie, but he didn't expect the other party's tone to be urgent, as if he had encountered some difficulty.
Xi Jia straightened his face and said, "I'm in Sucheng. What's the matter, what happened?"
Chen Tao was taken aback, and asked, "You don't know what happened?"
Xi Jia asked strangely: "Didn't you call me? How do I know what happened?"
Chen Tao said in a hurry: "That incident was so big, you didn't know it? It was Wang Ru and Li Xiao. Do you remember them? Our college classmates are in the second class next door. We often have dinner together. Li Xiao The dormitory is next door to us, don't our two dormitories often have dinner together?"
Hearing what Chen Tao said, Xi Jia recalled carefully, and finally found two people in the corner of memory.
Xi Jia moved to Sioux City with his father when he was a child. He studied high school and university in Sioux City, so he is considered a half-local.When he was studying in Sucheng, Xi Jia entered the famous computer department of Monk Temple in the school. At that time, there were three classes in the entire computer department, and there were only six girls in total, and one of them was Kaoru from the second class.
When he was in college, Xi Jia seldom interacted with his classmates because Taishan Stone could not cover up the increasingly strong yin energy, and only played more with Chen Tao.However, Chen Tao is a very active person. He eats very well in the department and has friends everywhere.In order not to make his good brother too withdrawn, he often took Xi Jia to various dinner parties.
It was because of Chen Tao that Xi Jia was not completely ignored by his classmates.
Wang Ru is the flower of the Department of Computer Science. Compared with her, Li Xiao is very ordinary, not outstanding at all.But in junior year, this plain-looking man with glasses actually fell in love with Xihua, which caused a sensation in the college all of a sudden, and Xi Jia had a little impression of him.
Xi Jia's voice was calm: "I remember them, what's the matter, what happened to them?"
Chen Tao said: "Wang Ru and Li Xiao got married as soon as they graduated from university. I told you about this. I went to their wedding last year. Brother Jia, you refused to come at that time. Su Cheng, if you don't come, the classmates will still say that you are coming in private."
Those few days were in the middle of July when the gate of ghosts opened, and Xi Jia's yin energy was too heavy, he didn't dare to go out to meet people, for fear of getting his yin energy on others.
Chen Tao added: "Half of our college classmates are staying in Sioux City. Last week, there was a big case in Sioux City, and the whole Sioux City was discussing it. It has been hotly discussed on the Internet for several days, but you didn't pay attention? The one who died is Li Xiao! It was Wang Ru who killed him!"
Xi Jia was stunned for a moment.
On the phone, Chen Tao was still talking: "Today I received a WeChat message from the squad leader. Tomorrow is Li Xiao's funeral. I'm filming in Tibet now, so I can't go. Brother Jia, are you going? Why don't you also be in Suzhou City? , We have just graduated for a year, Li Xiao had a good time with our dormitory, now... he is dying so badly now, you should go there."
As soon as Chen Tao finished speaking, Xi Jia received a WeChat message.The squad leader sent him a message, inviting him to attend Li Xiao's funeral tomorrow.According to the squad leader, because Li Xiao was murdered, his body was dissected by the forensic doctor and investigated by the criminal police. It was not returned to the family until yesterday, allowing him to be buried.We are all classmates, I hope Xi Jia will be there to give Li Xiao a ride.Don't gossip about things, just come and see your classmates off quietly.
Xi Jia looked at this message with narrow eyes, and did not respond for a long time.
Listening to Kong Li, Chen Tao's voice came: "Oh, I remember that when I graduated last year, Li Xiao was very happy, and proposed to Wang Ru in public at the graduation ceremony. Everyone was so happy at that time, why did it only pass a year? It turned out like this. Brother Jia, I know you don’t like to socialize with people, but Li Xiao... died really badly. I had fun with him back then. If it’s convenient for you, give him a ride. .”
Xi Jia put the phone back to her ear, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will take your heart and go to his funeral together."
Chen Tao immediately said: "Okay! Brother Jia, I'll give you some money right now. Li Xiao's family seems to be quite rich, but this is a little kindness from our classmates. Help me to give to my uncle and aunt together."
Xi Jia did not refuse Chen Tao's kindness, he deliberately found an envelope from the drawer, stuffed Chen Tao's 500 yuan into it, and stuffed [-] yuan himself.On the envelope were the names of two people, and he would give it to Li Xiao's parents at the funeral tomorrow.
After finishing all this, Xi Jia turned on her mobile phone and searched for the case from half a month ago.
The first time Chen Tao mentioned this case, the interview news he had seen on TV half a month ago appeared in Xi Jia's mind.At that time, he didn't pay attention to the name of the deceased at all, and he didn't expect that the dead person turned out to be his old classmate.
Sure enough, there are many people discussing this case on the Internet.
This case is actually very simple, and the evidence is conclusive. Some neighbors saw the hostess escape from the house covered in blood, and some neighbors saw that the young couple had a big fight before the crime happened, and they had a quarrel.
The only thing that can draw attention to this case is the tragic death of the parties involved.
It is unknown who secretly took photos of Li Xiao's death before the police arrived.That photo is constantly deleted on the Internet, but there are always boring netizens who save the photo and post the photo again and again.
In that blurry photo, Li Xiao's face was cut open, and his head was split in two, like a split watermelon, falling on the ground on both sides.The two cut faces were bloody and mutilated by the knife, and the facial features could not be seen at all, only a sticky mass of red flesh and blood could be seen.His two eyeballs had long since fallen out of the severed eye sockets, his white brains were sticky and sticky on the eyeballs, his pupils were staring fixedly at the ceiling, not knowing what he was looking at.
Xi Jia has seen a lot of ghosts with strange deaths since she was a child, but when she saw Li Xiao's photo, she was still so disgusted that she almost vomited.
Because the murder method was too cruel, various news media reported on the case.After killing someone, Wang Ru fled and was not caught by the police until last week.People from all walks of life are severely denouncing this woman, calling her a poisonous snake and scorpion woman, and calling this case the "Qiuhu poisonous woman murder case".
[This woman married someone for money in the first place, but now she actually killed her! 】
[Phoenix man is scary, but Phoenix girl is so scary!Must be executed, shoot her! 】
[This kind of woman doesn't know how many cuckolds she put on men behind her back, and even killed her husband, she must be sentenced to death! 】
Looking at these reports and the comments below, Xi Jia slowly outlined the whole story of the case.
This case was so simple that it couldn't be simpler. It was that the husband and wife had a quarrel and fought a lot, which resulted in murder.Wang Ru couldn't deny the guilt at all, because she and Li Xiao were in the house at the time, and the neighbors also heard that they had been arguing, and her fingerprints were on the murder knife, so she couldn't deny it.
However, this case also leads to the truth of an unsolved mystery in Sioux City University: why Li Xiao, who is mediocre in appearance, can marry Xihua.
During college, Xi Jia seldom communicated with others, but she also knew that most of the boys in the department were unhappy with Li Xiao.
Wang Ru is really beautiful, she was not selected as the flower of the Department of Computer Science because there are few girls in the Department of Computer Science.She is very popular in the school and is the pillar of the drama club. She participated in the campus singing competition and won an award.After she fell in love with Li Xiao, everyone thought it was a flower stuck in cow dung.
After reading these reports, Xi Jia knew that Wang Ru was a native of Sucheng, but her family was in a difficult situation and she lived in the countryside.When she was in her junior year, her father was seriously ill. The family was already poor, and to pay for medical expenses, it became even more destitute.Li Xiao had known Wang Ru since he was a child. He was from the same village. His parents had become prosperous more than ten years ago and made a lot of money, so the two families separated.
This happened to Wang Ru's family, and Li Xiao's parents generously donated money. Wang Ru didn't know why, so she began to fall in love with Li Xiao, and after graduating from university, she married Li Xiao and became a housewife.
Most of the previous hot news on the Internet were condemning the Phoenix man, but it was the first time that the Phoenix woman appeared, and netizens discussed it intensely.Some netizens also launched a poll, asking whether they should immediately give Wang Ru the death penalty.In the voting results, "support the death penalty" has the upper hand with an absolute advantage of 92%.
Xi Jia looked at these netizens' comments with a blank face, and turned off the phone.He rubbed his forehead, what came to mind was not Li Xiao, but the legendary "Jiyuan" flower.
Before Wang Ru and Li Xiao fell in love, many students thought that Wang Ru would be with Xi Jia.
When she was a freshman, Xi Jia received a love letter from Wang Ru.He himself is not good at communicating with people, and he has never paid attention to this flower, so he directly rejected it.In the next few years, whenever he and Wang Ru appeared in the same place, the classmates always booed, clamoring that Xihua wanted to be with Xicao, a perfect match.
In Xi Jia's memory, the girl with the ponytail always wears plain and simple clothes.In summer, all other girls wear beautiful skirts, but she always wears ordinary T-shirts and washed-white jeans. She has never changed for four years in college.
He remembered that at the graduation ceremony, when the girl was suddenly proposed, she didn't have much surprise and joy on her face, but instead looked around in panic and looked at him.
At that time, Chen Tao booed from the side: "Promise him! Promise him! Promise him!"
Xi Jia didn't like to participate in this kind of lively thing. Seeing Wang Ru looking at him, he smiled and nodded at her, then continued to play with his phone with his head down.
That girl actually used such a cruel method to kill her husband...
Xi Jia sighed softly.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Xi Jia said that she was going to attend the funeral of her classmate.Ye Jingzhi froze for a moment: "Do you want me to go with you?"
Xi Jia shook her head and said with a smile, "No need, I'm just attending the funeral of my classmate."
Ye Jingzhi nodded knowingly, a little worried.
Xi Jia asked: "Master Ye, I heard that people who die suddenly will not be reincarnated soon, but will stay in the mortal world. Is this true?"
Ye Jingzhi replied: "Well, there is such a situation. Most people who die violently will have resentment after death. Those with light resentment will become wandering spirits, staying in the mortal world for one or two days, up to seven days; those with severe resentment will become ghosts. Li Gui, if you don't take revenge and kill people, you will never give up."
After thinking about it for a long time, Xi Jia decided to show Ye Jingzhi the photo.
When Ye Jingzhi saw the horrific and bloody photo, his pupils shrank slightly. After a while, he raised his head and asked, "Are you going to attend this person's funeral?"
Xi Jia nodded: "He is my classmate. Although I don't know him very well, everyone is in Sucheng. His death caused a lot of trouble this time. Chen Tao has a good relationship with him. He can't come because he has something to do. I hope I can replace him. Him, to the funeral."
Ye Jingzhi frowned: "This kind of killing method... is too vicious, this person's ghost must still be left in the world. Just go to the place where he died, and he should be able to find his ghost. Xi Jia, we accompany you."
"no need."
Ye Jingzhi was slightly startled: "?"
Xi Jia covered her lips and coughed: "Ahem, I just... just asked casually, and I didn't plan to find his ghost. The police have identified the murderer, and I'm just going to attend the funeral today."
Ye Jingzhi wanted to say more, but Xi Jia quickly finished his porridge, got up and left without giving Ye Jingzhi a chance to react.
After getting on the bus, Xi Jia breathed a sigh of relief and finally relaxed.
For some reason, he didn't really want Master Ye to go with him, especially... to meet Li Xiao.Once he sees Li Xiao's ghost, he will definitely mention Wang Ru, and when he mentions Wang Ru, maybe he will talk about what Wang Ru confessed to him back then.
Let Master Ye know about his private affairs... It doesn't feel right.
Well, he just didn't want the other party to intervene because he didn't want Master Ye to know about his private affairs.
That's why!
The bus slowly climbed from the east side of Sioux City to the Qiuhu District on the west side of Sioux City.It was around nine o'clock when Xi Jia arrived at the funeral. Before he officially saw the mourning hall, both sides of the road were filled with wreaths and flowers.These wreaths were placed along the road, all the way to the mourning hall.Many strangers came to the scene with flowers and placed the bouquets gently on the side of the road.
"That kind of vicious woman, you must not let her die cheaply. It's disgusting!"
"That's right, she's a poisonous woman, a femme fatale!"
Two passers-by walked past Xi Jia, obviously people who had read the report.
Xi Jia shook his head and walked into the mourning hall.He handed the white envelope to Li Xiao's parents, said "sorry", and then went to sit in the mourning hall.
Sitting in the mourning hall were all Li Xiao's relatives, friends and classmates.Many of Xi Jia's college classmates came. Seeing him coming, they all looked at him in surprise, pointed at him and whispered, but few of them came forward to say hello to him.
Chen Tao is not around, these people will not take the initiative to talk to him.
But after a while, journalists and media flocked to fill the mourning hall.Li Xiao's parents cried bitterly on the stage, scolding that vicious woman.They cried so much that they knelt on the ground, hugging the black-and-white photo of their son tightly, begging God to give him justice, and make sure that the woman died badly.
A funeral turned into a press conference, with chaos and few people actually crying.
After the funeral, Xi Jia was about to leave, but was stopped by a reporter.The reporter looked at his face carefully, his eyes lit up, and he handed over the microphone: "Sir, who are you from Mr. Liu Chao (pseudonym)? You came to his funeral today, what do you want to say?" What do you think of this case?"
Xi Jia wanted to leave, but the reporters blocked his way. He could only say, "I'm his college classmate."
The reporter was pleasantly surprised: "Then you are also a college classmate of the suspect? May I ask what impression do you have of the deceased and the suspect? Are you angry that the suspect killed the deceased so cruelly? Did the suspect have violent tendencies when he was in college?" ?”
Xi Jia said with a cold face, "No comment."
"This sir, sir!"
Xi Jia walked away mercilessly. The reporter wanted to stop him, but traces of black yin energy slowly wrapped around his body.Entangled in black air, the reporter shivered unconsciously,
