Xingnian Tea House

Qiao Xingnian looked out through the glass window, and Hu Jing was talking with a man standing on the side of the road. The man was about 30 years old, about the same age as Hu Jing, not outstanding in appearance, not tall, looking at Hu Jing The expression looked a little impatient.

Qiao Xingnian looked away and sat down to have lunch. Although Hu Jing is an employee in his store, she also has her own private life. As long as it doesn't affect work, he doesn't need to worry about it.

After a while, the store door was pushed open, and Hu Jing walked in from the outside. Qiao Xingnian looked over and saw that her eye circles were a little red, as if she had just cried.

Hu Jing came over and said, "I'm sorry, boss, I had something to do when I went out just now."

"It's okay. The meal is getting cold, eat it while it's hot."

Hu Jing nodded, and sat opposite Qiao Xingnian, picked up the chopsticks and stirred the beef noodles in front of her, looking at Qiao Xingnian from time to time, with a hesitant expression.

Qiao Xingnian ate the noodles with his head down, pretending he didn't see it.Although Qiao Xingnian has never been in a relationship, he also knows that if he doesn't like a person of the opposite sex, he must keep a proper distance to avoid misunderstanding, especially if they are still in the relationship of hiring and being hired.

Qiao Xingnian lowered her head, even if Hu Jing spoke, he couldn't hear him. Looking at the man in front of her, and thinking about what happened to her, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red again. Crystal tears welled up in her eyes and fell on the beef noodles in front of her.

Qiao Xingnian paused, but he didn't intend to raise his head. If she had difficulties, as long as she said, he could help within a reasonable range, but not beyond the limit.

Hu Jing plucked up her courage and reached out to grab Qiao Xingnian's wrist. Now only the man in front of her can get her out of the sea of ​​suffering. She must let go of her reserve and hold on firmly.

Qiao Xingnian looked at the grasped wrist, frowned, looked up, and said, "Hu Jing?"

Seeing Qiao Xingnian frowning, Hu Jing subconsciously withdrew her hand, but thinking of what happened just now, she reached out again, but Qiao Xingnian avoided it.She was overwhelmed with embarrassment, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Qiao Xingnian leaned back in the chair, looked at her calmly, and said, "If you're not feeling well, I can ask you to leave work earlier."

"Boss, I..." Hu Jing struggled for a while, and said, "I like you, I have liked you a long time ago..."

"I don't like you." Qiao Xingnian interrupted Hu Jing and said, "Hu Jing, we are just an employment relationship, and there will be no other relationship."

Hu Jing stared blankly at Qiao Xingnian, her tears were like broken beads.

"I don't think you are suitable for work now. Go back and rest first. I'll give you half a day off."

After Qiao Xingnian finished speaking, he packed up the lunch box in front of him, got up and left the teahouse.

Hu Jing looked at Qiao Xingnian outside the window with sadness and despair in her eyes.

Qiao Xingnian threw the lunch box into the trash can. Although they were far away, he still saw a few words of the conversation between the two just now.The man claimed to be Hu Jing's fiancé, but Hu Jing said no, and said that she would definitely pay back the money.

Thinking about Hu Jing's actions just now, he probably wanted to use him as a shield, or get money from him.

Thinking about the innocent Hu Jing back then, Qiao Xingnian couldn't help but sighed, lamenting that people's hearts are changeable.

When Qiao Xingnian returned to the tea house, Hu Jing had already returned behind the counter. Although her eyes were a little red, she was calm.Seeing him coming in, she forced a smile and said, "Boss, I'm sorry just now... I'm fine, I can go to work normally."

Qiao Xingnian nodded and didn't speak any more. He picked up the book on the counter and sat down by the window. There are some things he can help with, but there are some things he can't help with, especially those involving feelings.

In the afternoon, there were no customers in the store. Hu Jing stood behind the counter and looked at Qiao Xingnian from time to time. Although Qiao Xingnian couldn't hear her, he felt very keenly. He naturally noticed her gaze, but he just pretended not to notice it.

After a long time, Qiao Xingnian became a little impatient, thinking whether he should consider hiring another salesperson.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Qiao Xingnian was sitting by the window having dinner when the door of the store was pushed open. He looked up and saw Lin Nanyue walking in from the outside.

"Team Lin is here. Have you had dinner yet? Would you like to have some together?"

Seeing a layer of dried chili dishes floating in front of Qiao Xingnian, Lin Nanyue subconsciously wanted to refuse, but what Qiao Xingnian said before suddenly sounded in his mind, "Fortunately, Team Lin and I are not in the same family, otherwise we would not be able to eat. to a block."

Swallowing back the words, Lin Nanyue sat across from Qiao Xingnian and said, "Not yet. It's just that if I eat, won't you be enough?"

"If you don't have enough, the restaurant is next door."

Qiao Xingnian pushed the untouched rice over, and said, "This spicy fish looks like it has a lot of chili peppers, but it's not very spicy. It's for flavor, so it's just right to eat with rice."

"I can eat spicy food."

As Lin Nanyue spoke, he picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. The spicy taste made his throat choke. He quickly covered his mouth, turned his head and coughed.

Qiao Xingnian quickly got up to pour water for him, and said helplessly: "Captain Lin, if you can't eat spicy food, you can't eat spicy food, and it's not ashamed. You don't want to be brave, do you?"

Lin Nanyue took the water glass, thanked him, drank it in two or three gulps, and stopped coughing.He didn't dare to look at Qiao Xingnian, feeling his face burning hot and panicking with embarrassment.

Qiao Xingnian sat back at his seat, put a piece of fish in a bowl, and said, "This fish is really not spicy when served with rice. Team Lin will try again. If it doesn't work, I'll give it to Team Lin again." Order something else."

"okay."

Listening to Qiao Xingnian's words, Lin Nanyue was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in. He didn't understand how he could do such a stupid thing in a flash of his brain.

However, eating spicy fish with rice, although it is still spicy, is not as unpalatable as before, but it is a bit wasteful of rice.

Seeing this, Qiao Xingnian got up and walked out of the tea house. When he came back, he had two more lunch boxes in his hand. The white rice with distinct grains exuded an attractive smell.

"Two bowls for one person, if Team Lin is not enough, I will ask for it again."

"No, two bowls are enough."

The spiciness stimulated the taste buds. Although it was so spicy that I was sweating profusely, the more I ate it, the more delicious it became. Before I knew it, I ate another bowl of rice. This was the spiciest meal Lin Nanyue had ever eaten since he was born.

Qiao Xingnian pushed the tissue box towards Lin Nanyue and said, "Is Team Lin all right?"

Lin Nanyue took out a paper towel to wipe off his sweat, and said, "Fortunately, it's not so spicy with rice."

"If Team Lin still wants to eat fish, choose pickled fish. The spicy taste of pickled fish is not too strong, which is more suitable for you. Two days ago, my brother and I went to a good one. It is near the municipal hospital. Team Lin is free. You can try it."

"You usually eat so much spicy food, can your body bear it?"

"It's not a meal, or if I want my brother to know, he will have to nag me again."

When Qiao Xingnian lived alone, he could eat whatever he wanted, but Jiang Mohan changed as soon as he came. He said that eating spicy and greasy food is not good for the stomach, and asked him to have two dishes per meal, one meat and one vegetable, one dish A spicy dish is not bad, don't be picky eaters.

Qiao Xingnian didn't get used to it at first, but he couldn't bear Jiang Mohan's nagging every day. Although he couldn't hear it, he could see it. The VX on his phone was full of health maintenance messages sent by Jiang Mohan.After a long time, Qiao Xingnian got used to it, and he knew that Jiang Mohan did it for his own good.

"Your brother is also doing it for your own good."

"I know. He, he is a cold person outside. When he came home and saw me, the persona collapsed in an instant. He was very much like my mother, nagging so that people would not be clean."

Qiao Xingnian had disgust on his lips, but there was a deep smile in his eyes. It could be seen that he enjoyed the feeling of being cared for.

Lin Nanyue looked at Qiao Xingnian, suddenly a little envious, and said, "You two have such a good relationship."

"Does Team Lin have brothers and sisters in his family?"

"I have a younger brother, who is a freshman this year, from the Broadcasting Department of Huda."

"Is your relationship not good?"

"The relationship is not bad, it's just my working relationship, we rarely see each other, the last time we met was two months ago."

"Team Lin is a workaholic. This is a good thing for the people of Lake City, and it is a debt to Team Lin's family. As long as there are people, the case will not be resolved, but the fate between people is limited. If Team Lin is free, it is still more. Go home and have a look."

Lin Nanyue nodded, chatting with Qiao Xingnian was very comfortable, and could easily calm his impetuous heart, especially in such an environment.

"Can the identity of the corpse be confirmed?" Qiao Xingnian changed the topic to the case.

"The body has been turned into bones, and Liu Zhaoqian is an orphan. Even if we know his identity, we can't confirm it for the time being. We can only look for Liu Zhaoqian's relics before his death and try to do a DNA comparison."

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "Feng Yu wants to become Liu Zhaoqian, so he must have plastic surgery. Team Lin can go to the plastic surgery hospital in Hucheng to check."

"We have already sent people to investigate, but there are still clues for the time being." Lin Nanyue smiled helplessly.

"Team Lin don't need to worry, the case is now clear." Qiao Xingnian calmly analyzed: "Feng Qing suffered from uremia, and the treatment spent all their savings. In desperation, Feng Yu went to Tao Jian. When he was not there, Liu Xiaojuan drove him out of the house.

From then on, he felt resentment in his heart and tried every means to get revenge on the Tao family.Later he set his sights on Liu Zhaoqian. He was an orphan, and he only knew one cousin. He was determined to replace Liu Zhaoqian. He would suspend his studies to make a complete plan, and then find a way to kill Liu Zhaoqian and bury his body in the hut he rented. "

After successfully replacing Liu Zhaoqian, approach Tao Hui as him, gain Tao Hui's trust, and then plan to take his life.

At this moment, Ma Guojun, the only one who was familiar with Liu Zhaoqian, became his hindrance.Only by killing him too can Feng Qing make Liu Zhaoqian disappear without a sound, and then return as Feng Yu, replacing Tao Hui and inheriting Jianhao Real Estate.Then he killed Ma Guojun, and the plan to use the ghost to kill people took shape. "

After listening to Qiao Xingnian's analysis, Lin Nanyue couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, and said, "This whole plan is almost seamless, but it's a pity that he has calculated everything, and he didn't calculate that someone moved Tao Hui's car."

"That's right, this man's thoughtfulness is truly astonishing. He even figured out how to escape by framing Tao Hui if someone finds Ma Guojun's body."

"It's called people's calculations."

Qiao Xingnian couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard him say this, and said, "I thought Team Lin would say "the French Open is not missed". "

"It's not too late to say now." Lin Nanyue raised the corners of his lips.

Qiao Xingnian also laughed and said, "It's not too late."

Lin Nanyue got up to clean up the things on the table. Qiao Xingnian wanted to help, but he stopped him and said, "You invited the meal, and you were busy before the meal. I will collect it after the meal. You can do it while sitting down." .”

Qiao Xingnian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sure, then I'll trouble Team Lin."

Lin Nanyue cleaned up the table, Qiao Xingnian went to the counter, took out the tea set and started making tea. After eating greasy and spicy food, drinking some clear tea would not only relieve the greasy, but also good for the stomach.

Lin Nanyue packed up the lunch box and threw it into the trash can. As soon as he entered the store, he could smell the aroma of tea.

Qiao Xingnian stretched out his hand and said, "Team Lin, please."

Lin Nanyue sat across from Qiao Xingnian, picked up the teacup and took a sip, the fragrance filled his mouth, refreshing his mind, he couldn't help but take another sip.

"The tea is very fragrant."

"Thank you Team Lin for the compliment."

"Why haven't you seen Tao Hui these two days?"

"Ever since he got a mobile phone, he doesn't want to come out at all. He's a proper Internet addicted otaku."

"Mobile phone? Is it our mobile phone?"

"No, it's a mobile phone from the underworld. It has the same function as the mobile phone in the yangworld, but it's connected to the network of the underworld, and you can see the people and things in the underworld."

"The cell phone in the underworld?"

Seeing that Lin Nanyue was curious, Qiao Xingnian simply released Tao Hui.

The environment changed suddenly, Tao Hui was at a loss for a moment, and then said aloud: "Boss, are you looking for me?"

Qiao Xingnian looked at his cell phone and said, "Show Team Lin your cell phone."

Tao Hui froze for a moment, then handed over the phone.

"Team Lin, let's take a look, but this is something from the underworld, you can't take it."

Lin Nanyue withdrew his outstretched hand, looked down at Tao Hui's cell phone, and found that he was watching a live broadcast. The live broadcast was a female ghost, dressed in red, with disheveled hair, pale face, and was telling a ghost story...

Because the anchor is a ghost, Qiao Xingnian could hear it, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "You have become a ghost, and you still like listening to ghost stories."

"Boss, you don't know, this anchor is very touching about ghost stories. He is a big anchor with millions of fans. When you listen to her ghost stories, you are really scared, excited, and want to hear it again. Boss, don't you believe it?" , you can listen to it too." Hearing what Qiao Xingnian said, Tao Hui immediately recommended him his favorite anchor.

Qiao Xingnian said dumbfoundedly: "OK, I'll listen to it when I'm free. Don't you care about the progress of the case now?"

Hearing Qiao Xingnian talk about the case, Tao Hui turned off his phone and said, "I'm concerned, has Liu Zhaogan recruited?"

"Liu Zhaoqian is not the real Liu Zhaoqian, but your half brother Feng Yu."

"What?" Tao Hui looked at Qiao Xingnian in shock, and said, "He's Feng Yu, what about Liu Zhaoqian?"

Qiao Xingnian said truthfully: "Liu Zhaoqian died seven years ago, and today we just found his body in Feng Yu's rented house."

"So Feng Yu harmed me because he wanted to plan Jianhao Real Estate?"

Tao Hui is not stupid, after hearing what Qiao Xingnian said, he understood Feng Yu's purpose.

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "That's right. When he begged to come to the door and was kicked out by your mother, he felt resentful, so he began to plan revenge on you, not only let them taste the feeling of losing their loved ones, but also squeezed them dry." .”

Hearing what Qiao Xingnian said, the anger in Tao Hui's heart rose, and the resentment in his body also began to surge, saying, "Where is Feng Yuren?"

"died."

Tao Hui's expression froze, and the resentment around him gradually calmed down. He said, "Dead? How did he die? Where's his soul?"

"His soul was pulled out of his body alive, and then destroyed. His body is still alive, lying in the hospital, and now he is in a vegetative state."

Tao Hui came back to his senses in a daze, digested Qiao Xingnian's words, and said, "Does that mean he's gone out of his wits?"

"Yes, his soul flew away, and he deserved what he deserved."

"Deserved!"

The resentment around Tao Hui gradually faded, and the blood-red eyes gradually changed, "Then what about the fuck?"

"He also died. He died of illness a few years ago, in the late stage of uremia."

Tao Hui was stunned, and then said: "It's what you deserve, this is how evil comes with evil! His mother ruined other people's families, and took away 30 yuan from grandparents, so that grandparents died one after another. Now they come to murder me again, and they end up with nothing. What happened now is deserved.”

"Feng Qing is at fault, is your father right? He has already married and married, but he cheated on his wife while she was pregnant, and made her pregnant too. In my opinion, your father's fault in this matter His fault is bigger than Feng Qing's."

Although Qiao Xingnian had a deal with Tao Hui, he didn't fully stand on Tao Hui's side and speak out his thoughts fairly.

"Feng Qing lied to your father, but your father's private embezzlement of public funds is the main reason why your grandparents passed away one after another. In my opinion, your father's fault is also above Feng Qing's."

Tao Hui fell silent, the resentment around him gradually dissipated, and his eyes also changed from blood red to normal black.

"Boss, I want to meet my parents."

"Okay, tomorrow I will make an appointment with your parents in advance."

Tao Hui's change was noticed by Lin Nanyue, his eyes were full of surprise and curiosity.

Qiao Xingnian looked at Lin Nanyue and said, "Team Lin, it's getting late, and you should go back. It's hard to get off work so early, so go back and catch up on sleep."

"when are you going back?"

"I'll be back in the morning."

"There are no guests now, why don't you go back earlier?"

"Team Lin forgot? The guests of Xingnian Tea House during the day are different from those at night."

Lin Nanyue was taken aback for a moment, then remembered his identity as a messenger, and said, "Then I'll go back first, call me if you have anything to do."

"Okay, then I won't send it off, Team Lin should drive carefully on the road."

Lin Nanyue didn't say any more, turned and left the teahouse.

Tao Hui looked at Qiao Xingnian and said, "Boss, do you think my dad will go to hell after he dies?"

It may be that he has been a ghost for a long time, Tao Hui has a new understanding of death, and he is not as repulsive as before, and it is no burden to say it now.

"Your father and Feng Qing have karma, and nine out of ten will go to hell. If you want to atone for your sins, then do more good deeds in your lifetime."

Tao Hui nodded and said, "I will definitely persuade him to do more good deeds. After all, now that Jianhao has no heirs, it is useless to earn more money. I just hope that the rest of their lives will be safe and healthy for the old couple."

"I've already prepared their amulets, let's take them with us when we pass tomorrow."

Tao Hui said gratefully, "Thank you, Boss!"

Qiao Xingnian smiled and said: "The resentment on your body has dissipated, and there is no life on your body. You can turn around and reincarnate at any time."

"I want to take the bad job exam."

Qiao Xingnian didn't expect that after so long, Tao Hui still didn't give up the idea.

"It's not something you can take the exam if you want. When you get to Hades, you can apply for it yourself."

Qiao Xingnian didn't stop him this time.

"Boss, is there any shortcut for this exam?"

Seeing Tao Hui's wicked look, Qiao Xingnian couldn't help laughing, and said, "No. If you want to use your brain, then wait to be punished."

"Oh." Tao Hui immediately drooped his head, looked at Qiao Xingnian helplessly, and said, "Boss, just talk to me, what are you going to be tested for?"

"First look at whether you have done bad things during your lifetime, what kind of character you are, and then whether you have the talent to learn magic, that's about it."

"Then what if you pass the assessment? Will you be able to work directly?"

"You have a good idea! After the assessment, you have to carry out training, otherwise, if you let you catch the grudge, you will be sent to death. After the training, there will be another assessment. Only by passing this assessment can you officially start working."

"Two exams?" Tao Hui frowned upon hearing this.

"What do you think? It's not that easy to be a errand. Even regular employees are not guaranteed jobs. If you don't pay attention, you may be replaced."

"That's it." Tao Hui's face was a bit tangled, and after a while, he said, "Boss can do it, and I can do it, so it's decided, take the exam!"

"Well, I wish you all the best."

This time, Qiao Xingnian was not in a hurry to put Tao Hui into the bell, but taught him the simplest spell of clearing the heart.

The incantation was very difficult to pronounce, and Tao Hui was still stumbling after reciting it for three hours.Although he looked impatient, he didn't intend to give up. Until Qiao Xingnian returned to Heping Community and put him in the bell, he was still reciting.

The next morning, after Qiao Xingnian had breakfast, he called Liu Xiaojuan and made an appointment to meet.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Tao Jian sent a car to pick up Qiao Xingnian. Four or ten minutes later, they arrived at the villa area in the east of the city and drove straight into Tao's villa.

Liu Xiaojuan and Tao Jian stood at the door and waited early. Seeing Qiao Xingnian get out of the car, they hurriedly greeted him.

"Master, you are here."

"Uncle and aunt, let's go in and talk if we have something to say."

"Okay, let's go in and talk."

Tao Jian asked the driver to leave and took Qiao Xingnian into the villa.

As soon as Qiao Xingnian entered, he saw the windows of the villa, including the heavy curtains drawn on the glass doors, and not a single ray of light could come in. It can be seen that the two of them had made preparations for half a day.

Qiao Xingnian directly gave the two of them Sky Eye, and let Tao Hui out the bell.

Seeing Tao Hui's changed appearance, the two were startled. Liu Xiaojuan was the first to recover and said, "Xiaohui, you...why did you change your appearance?"

Tao Hui smiled and said, "Mom, the resentment on my body has disappeared, and I can go to reincarnation anytime now."

"Okay, okay, okay, just let it go." Liu Xiaojuan couldn't help but her eyes turned red.

Tao Jian looked at Qiao Xingnian and said, "Master, Xiaohui's resentment has disappeared, has his murderer been found?"

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "The murderer is Feng Yu."

"Feng Yu?"

Both Liu Xiaojuan and Tao Jian were taken aback, not expecting who this person was for a while.

"It's Boss Tao's illegitimate son."

Seeing the state of his family members, Qiao Xingnian couldn't help but sighed in his heart. He probably understood the resentment in Feng Yu's heart.

"It's that little bastard!" Liu Xiaojuan's complexion suddenly became ugly. She looked at Tao Jian angrily and said, "It's all you. If it wasn't for you, how could Xiaohui die!"

Tao Jian's expression was also not good. He avoided Liu Xiaojuan's slap, looked at Qiao Xingnian and asked, "Are you sure? It's really Feng Yu?"

"What do you mean by asking that? Do you still want to bail him out and give you a pension?" Liu Xiaojuan looked at Tao Jian angrily and asked.

Qiao Xingnian ignored the quarrel between the two, and said: "Sure. Feng Yu started planning how to get revenge on you as early as eight years ago, after he left here. For eight years, he successfully killed Tao Hui, but he didn't expect There was an accident during the period, and he failed to achieve the ultimate goal."

"The ultimate goal? What else does that little bastard want to do?"

"He wants to return as Mr. Tao's son and inherit Jianhao Real Estate."

"He's dreaming!" Liu Xiaojuan was so angry that her eyes turned red, her face twisted, and she said, "As long as I'm around, he won't even get a penny!"

Tao Jian was stunned for a moment, then looked at Tao Hui, seeing that he was looking at him, he couldn't help but look away guiltily.

"he died."

Tao Hui looked at Tao Jian, and he understood the meaning in Tao Jian's eyes.

"what?"

Tao Jian looked up at Tao Hui, and Liu Xiaojuan also looked over.

"Feng Yu's soul is gone, and he will not come back again."
