Master's professionalism

This is a two-bedroom apartment. The overall decoration is stylish and simple. On the left side of the entrance is a semi-open kitchen, on the right is the living room, and walking inside is the bathroom and two bedrooms.

Hu Liting said he didn't want to do anything, so he really didn't do anything. As soon as he entered the door, he sat on the sofa and looked at Xue Xiaoyan with his cheeks propped up, almost lying on it.

Xue Xiaoyan walked around the room, and said to He Mingda with some doubts: "Your room is quite clean, isn't it?"

"I asked someone to clean it." He Mingda said.

Xue Xiaoyan pursed her lips, and said helplessly, "I mean, your house doesn't look like someone died."

He Mingda was taken aback when he heard the words, and said: "I didn't, I didn't say that I had died." After thinking about it, he slapped his thigh, "The one who was hanged is not here."

Xue Xiaoyan: "...you didn't say it earlier!" He sighed, waved his hands, and said in a weak tone, "Where did you die?"

He Mingda pointed in a direction and said, "Over there, there is a big banyan tree, and the student was hanged on it. I just didn't go on the way, so I didn't go there."

"Go and have a look." After Xue Xiaoyan finished speaking, he waved to Hu Liting, signaling him to go with him. Hu Liting didn't speak, but stretched out a hand to him.

Xue Xiaoyan was stunned, then understood, sighed in his heart, walked over to hold Hu Liting's hand, pulled him up from the sofa, and complained: "You're too lazy to die."

Although the banyan tree that He Mingda mentioned was not on the way, it was not far away. You can see it when you go downstairs, and it only takes more than half a minute to walk there.

The banyan tree is very big, the trunk can only be surrounded by several people, the roots of the tree are like a crouching dragon, the root system is entangled, the canopy is towering, a single tree forms a forest, and the sticking out branches are each as thick as the mouth of a bowl, with thousands of air roots The strands hang down and sway slightly with the wind.

Next to the banyan tree is a rather big pond, without sparkling light, but reflecting the shadow of the tree, it is deep and bottomless, like a monster that quietly waits for people to pass by before devouring people in one bite.

He Mingda stood under the tree, pointed to a trunk and said, "That's it, it's very weird for people to hang on here."

Xue Xiaoyan looked at it, and found that the trunk was much thicker than the others. The place He Mingda pointed to was in the middle of the tree, a little far away from the main trunk. Unless there were tools, he could only climb up it with bare hands. Xue Xiaoyan asked: "What a weird way."

He Mingda said: "The place where he was hanged! At that time, there was not even a place for a cushion. The policeman said that he climbed up and wrapped a rope to hang him down. This damn thing is not a sausage, so he hanged it if he said so."

Xue Xiaoyan thought about the scene, shivered, thought for a while, and said, "Let's go buy some hot pot base and meat dishes first."

He Mingda was taken aback, and asked, "Do you want to bring that thing to worship?"

Xue Xiaoyan glared at him and said, "What's there to pray for? Let's eat hot pot tonight." He said with a wicked smile, "Stay for one night, let's go together."

He Mingda cursed and begged: "Yanzi, brother Yan! If you have something to say, why don't you go with your senior brother, and I... just go to the hotel."

"Promise." Xue Xiaoyan rolled her eyes, and pulled the two of them towards the gate of the community, "What are you afraid of if I'm here, besides, there is my senior brother, let's go and visit the market."

The three wandered around the market for more than half an hour, picked up a lot of ingredients and walked back, but they ran into a man at the gate of the community, the man who was standing with the fisherman in troubled waters in the morning.

When the man saw Hu Liting, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, and called "Master Hu" in a flattering tone.

Xue Xiaoyan looked at the man suspiciously, and He Mingda whispered next to Xue Xiaoyan: "His name is Jia Guangji, this neighborhood belongs to him, why is he here." The last sentence was more like a mutter.

Xue Xiaoyan turned to look at Hu Liting. Hu Liting had no expression on his face and said nothing. His whole body exuded a cold aura. If it wasn't for the vegetables in his hands, he would have looked a bit like an exquisite ice sculpture.

Seeing that Hu Liting did not answer, Jia Guangji was a little embarrassed, but the smile on his face did not fade. He rubbed his hands, and continued to flatter him: "Master Hu, please do me this favor."

Hu Liting snorted coldly and said, "Why didn't your subordinates convey the words to you?"

Jia Guangji blushed in embarrassment when he heard the words, and said, "This... of course I said it, you little ones have eyes but don't know Mount Tai, so don't bother with people like me."

Hu Liting raised the food in his hand and said, "I want to eat hot pot today, I don't have time."

Jia Guangji choked on this sentence, and his tone became excited: "Master, you can't just ignore death! This really can't kill anyone anymore!"

Xue Xiaoyan was taken aback when he heard the words, did he die a lot after hearing this tone?He pulled the corner of Lahu Liting's clothes and said in a low voice, "I want to ask what's going on."

Hu Liting glanced at Jia Guangji lightly, and said to Xue Xiaoyan in a low voice: "Okay, for Yan'er's cuteness, I'll help you once. You guys go to prepare first, and I'll tell you when I'm done."

With a long sigh, he said to Ka Guangji: "Then find a place to talk." His tone was still cold, but it lacked that aggressive feeling.

Hearing this, Jia Guangji smiled even wider, his facial features almost huddled together.Xue Xiaoyan glanced at Hu Liting, then at Jia Guangji, and sighed in his heart, they all laughed, how could someone smile so ugly.

When Hu Liting came back, it was already dark, and when he opened the door, he could smell the hot pot base inside, which made his index finger move.Xue Xiaoyan and He Mingda had already set up the pot and put all the ingredients on the table. Seeing Hu Liting coming in, Xue Xiaoyan immediately waved to him with a fawning expression on his face.

Hu Liting sat down beside Xue Xiaoyan, pinched his face, and said, "My concubine, serve me for dinner."

Xue Xiaoyan took the order, picked up chopsticks and warmed something for Hu Liting to eat, and said, "Your Majesty, can you tell my concubine now, what did Jia Guangji say?"

Hu Liting nodded in satisfaction, picked up his chopsticks, and cooked meat for Xue Xiaoyan while talking.

Jia Guangji told Hu Liting that people in the Rongchi community have been dying one after another since about two years ago. The first to die was a child who fell into the water and drowned in the pond. The child, at the time, thought it was an accidental fall and fell into the water, and it was enough to lose the money, but since the beginning of the year, the number of deaths has increased suddenly, some were hanged from trees, and some were drowned in the water. personal.

Xue Xiaoyan was stunned after hearing this. This is equivalent to two or three people dying in a month. How dare someone still live here?Xue Xiaoyan asked: "Is there any rule for dead people?"

Hu Liting shook his head and said, "There are men, women and children."

Xue Xiaoyan was thoughtful, but the chopsticks in his hand didn't stop. Hu Liting put the ingredients into Xue Xiaoyan's bowl after blanching the ingredients and dipping them in the sauce.

After dinner, Hu Liting went to take a shower, He Mingda consciously took charge of washing the dishes, and Xue Xiaoyan sat at the dining table chatting with him.

He Mingda said: "Yanzi, to be honest, you can sleep with me tonight, I'm really scared by myself."

Xue Xiaoyan rested her chin on the table and said lazily: "It's fine, but let's say it first, I can only protect myself if something goes wrong."

He Mingda stopped the movement of his hands when he heard this, hesitated for a while, and said: "Then... I will sleep with your senior brother? Can he agree..." He said without confidence.

Xue Xiaoyan muttered a few words reluctantly, and suddenly remembered that Hu Liting seemed to have a bad habit of sleeping, he sat up straight, and said seriously: "No, if my brother is defiled by you, you may be defiled by us." The whole family is chasing after him."

"Then Yan'er will sleep with me." Hu Liting's voice came from the direction of the bathroom. He put on a T-shirt, his hair was wet, and most of his clothes were wet.

Xue Xiaoyan looked at the looming skin under Hu Liting's clothes, lowered her head in embarrassment, and did not speak.

When He Mingda heard Hu Liting's words, he wanted to cry but said without tears: "Can you two sleep together and leave me a lamb waiting to be slaughtered alone in the room?"

Hu Liting said indifferently: "You don't look like you will taste good after being slaughtered."

Xue Xiaoyan laughed, and said: "Dazi is right, if something happens, someone has to watch."

Hu Liting nodded when he heard the words, walked to the side of the luggage he brought and found a few talismans, put them on the table, knocked on them, and said, "Keep this with you, you won't die."

He Mingda: "..." Brother, can we ask for more?

Although he was very confused, He Mingda didn't dare to protest, because Hu Liting was looking at him with a look of "If you dare to refuse, your blood will be splashed on the spot", so he could only pretend to be calm and said: "Brother Yanzi, don't you?" It will hurt me, so I'll just sleep by myself." He couldn't believe what he said.

So Xue Xiaoyan, who was sitting silently on the side, was sold by his good brother just like that.

The three of them squatted in the living room and played cards again, before going back to their rooms.Hu Liting told He Mingda to take the talisman with him, and not to go out no matter what sounds he heard. It would be best if he could sleep until dawn. After speaking, he went to the door of the apartment, pasted the talisman, and then went back to the room with Xue Xiaoyan.

At one o'clock in the middle of the night, Xue Xiaoyan was lying on the bed sleepily, looking like he was about to faint at any moment. He had no habit of staying up late, and at ordinary times, he would have fallen asleep at this time.

Hu Liting lay on the bed with his cheeks propped up, and said softly, "If you're sleepy, go to sleep. I'll keep an eye on it tonight, and I'll tell you what happened tomorrow."

"No." Xue Xiaoyan squeezed the corner of the quilt and shook her head, her voice was a little confused, "If you don't want to help me, I have to solve it myself."

"Okay, solve it yourself." Hu Liting poked Xue Xiaoyan's face, "Then don't sleep, be good, get up."

Xue Xiaoyan hummed, smelling the faint fragrance from Hu Liting's body, pushed him away suddenly, and said, "Don't get too close, I will fall asleep." Hu Liting was a little puzzled, but seeing Xue Xiaoyan's dazed appearance Still said hello.

After two o'clock, Xue Xiaoyan struggled to get up from the bed, staggered and ran to wash his face, his footsteps were a little weak, and Hu Liting followed carefully, for fear that he would lose his footing and fall.

After Xue Xiaoyan washed her face, she waited in the living room with Hu Liting. The banyan tree outside the window was rustling by the night wind, and the very faint moonlight passed through the balcony and cast a shadow on the curtains, like a monster with teeth and claws.

At 02:30 in the evening, the knock on the door rang on time.

"Knock-knock-knock-knock-"

The knock on the door was unhurried, and it fell on the door rhythmically, like a lullaby.

Xue Xiaoyan slowed down her breathing, and stared at the door tightly, as if trying to make a hole in the door.

He waited for about 5 minutes, but these 5 minutes felt extremely long, as if half a century had passed, and the sound of knocking on the door never stopped, as if he would not stop until the people inside were woken up. of.

Xue Xiaoyan took a deep breath, stood up, and walked lightly towards the door, his speed was very slow, each foot was very steady, but he didn't make a sound.

Xue Xiaoyan recalled what Chen Wang had taught him for more than a month in his mind, and gathered the Yin Qi in his hands with concentration, and traces of black air wrapped around his fingertips, like slowly flowing water, but with a faint wave of anger Raging aggressiveness.

"Click-"

Xue Xiaoyan slowly turned the doorknob, counting silently in her heart.

He slammed the door open, a faint light flashed in front of his eyes, and it was fleeting, leaving only the empty corridor, as quiet as if nothing had happened.
