After Shen Yiqiong carefully photographed the tattoo on Zhou Jiayu's waist, Zhou Jiayu finally put on his pants again.

"What does this tattoo do?" Zhou Jiayu asked.

"We don't know either, we're studying it." Shen Yiqiong looked down at the camera and frowned, "What did Mr. say when he tattooed you?"

Zhou Jiayu recalled for a while, and had no impression of what Lin Zhushui said at all. The only thing he remembered clearly was the cold touch of his hands that were pressing down on his waist.

Seeing Zhou Jiayu shaking his head blankly, Shen Yiqiong sighed, "Forget it, I guess even if you say it, you won't understand it."

Zhou Jiayu deeply felt their discrimination against poor students.

Because of Zhou Jiayu's inconvenience, the work of cooking again fell to Shen Yiqiong and Shen Erbai. The two tried to throw the pot at each other. In the end, when the three of them were almost too hungry, they decided who would cook by guessing coins.

Shen Yiqiong entered the kitchen with a gloomy face, while Shen Erbai leaned on the sofa and hugged the computer to continue studying the tattoos on Zhou Jiayu.

Shen Erbai should be about the same age as Zhou Jiayu, with a pair of glasses on his face, his temperament is relatively calm. However, Zhou Jiayu observed that as long as he and Shen Yiqiong start a fight, Shen Erbai's IQ and EQ will almost be brought to the same level by Shen Yiqiong, and then defeated by Shen Yiqiong's ample experience.

There was the sound of fire coming from the kitchen. Zhou Jiayu had always been curious why they were so resistant to eating. This doubt was quickly answered - he ate noodles made by Shen Yiqiong.

A bowl of noodles, poured some soy sauce, half-cooked vegetables, and a fried, charred omelette.

Zhou Jiayu didn't put down his chopsticks after watching it for a long time.

However, Shen Erbai was already mentally prepared, and slapped noodles there with a sullen expression. Shen Yiqiong said to Zhou Jiayu: "Eat, don't be polite to me, there is still in the pot."

Zhou Jiayu: "..." He tasted the noodles and felt his butt hurt even more.

Some people are destined not to go into the kitchen. With the same process and the same materials, they can turn delicious ingredients into dark dishes.

At this moment, Zhou Jiayu finally understood why he cooked a meal, and everyone in the room improved their attitude towards him.

The black soy sauce dyes the noodles black, making people lose their appetite when they look at them, and even more suspicious of life after tasting them.

Zhou Jiayu was still having a hard time eating, and he watched Shen Yiqiong, who was opposite him, gulping down the dark soup. Zhou Jiayu looked at his high-spirited appearance, and thought that it was great to be young. After eating noodles with this flavor, he really felt that life was meaningless.

Shen Erbai and Zhou Jiayu had similar expressions. Halfway through eating, they took out the glasses and said, "It will taste better if you can't see it."

Zhou Jiayu: "..." What kind of life did you guys live

After eating the noodles, Zhou Jiayu went back to the room. There are several ointments on the table in his room, which should be the kind of medicine that Lin Zhushui said.

Zhou Jiayu twisted his body to apply medicine to himself after taking a bath, but I don't know if it was his illusion. When he was struggling to apply medicine, he seemed to see the fish on his waist wagging its tail.

Zhou Jiayu froze and said, "Jiba, have you seen it?"

Jiba said: "What?"

Zhou Jiayu said, "The fish on my waist seems to be moving."

Jibalu said, "I didn't see it."

Zhou Jiayu stared at the tattoo carefully for a while, thinking that he might be confused, he sighed, "Oh, I always feel like I have changed my life." He used to be an atheist.

Jiha didn't say a word, squatted on the turtle shell and buried his tiny feet in the fluffy feathers.

After Lin Zhushui tattooed Zhou Jiayu, he didn't show up for several days, until one day near the end of June, a guest suddenly came to the garden.

"When can Mr. Lin see us?" The guests, a man and a woman, were sitting on the sofa in the living room. The woman turned her back to Zhou Jiayu and was asking Shen Yiqiong, who was sitting opposite her.

Shen Yiqiong didn't know what he was looking at with his head down, so he replied casually, "Wait."

The woman's tone became a bit unpleasant: "We've all been waiting for twenty minutes—"

Before she could finish her words, the man sitting beside her held her down and said, "Xiao Jie, don't worry."

"Why am I not in a hurry, I have so many things to spend here, Brother Rui, don't this person be a liar or something?" said the woman called Xiaojie.

Zhou Jiayu listened to the woman's voice, but inexplicably felt a bit familiar. Seeing Zhou Jiayu going downstairs, Shen Yiqiong ignored the temperamental girl and said to him, "Zhou Jiayu, what shall we have for lunch?"

Zhou Jiayu said, "Eat the fish, didn't we bring fresh fish yesterday." When he was talking to Shen Yiqiong, the unhappy girl also turned her head.

Zhou Jiayu was slightly surprised when he saw her appearance. He did see her, but it was only on TV.

Ruan Yunjie, a three-dimensional superstar in the entertainment industry, has been sealed a few years ago, and in recent years, she has continued to work, and even won several foreign awards with gold content. Even Zhou Jiayu, who doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, has seen her works and knows this person.

Ruan Yunjie and the man beside her followed Shen Yiqiong's gaze and saw Zhou Jiayu, she said, "Is this also Mr. Lin's apprentice?"

Shen Yiqiong didn't answer, and waved to Zhou Jiayu.

Zhou Jiayu walked over slowly and heard Shen Yiqian say: "Look at her, can you see anything?"

Zhou Jiayu looked at Ruan Yunjie, and the surprise in his eyes was even stronger. He was far apart before, so he didn't notice the difference because he didn't look carefully, but when he got closer, he realized that Ruan Yunjie's entire lower body seemed to be soaked in a thick black fog. The dense fog seemed to be alive, floating and revolving around her lower body, making her face particularly ugly.

"I..." Although Zhou Jiayu saw it, he felt that it was not good to say it here. He hesitated for a while and shook his head: "No, I didn't see it."

Shen Yiqiong didn't believe it at all when he heard the words: "Come on, I've seen it all, can you not see it?"

Zhou Jiayu looked helpless: "So what if I see it, but I can't deal with it."

Shen Yiqiong said, "Well... it makes sense."

Ruan Yunjie listened to the foggy conversation between the two, her brows furrowed tightly, and she said, "What are you talking about, what are you talking about, whether you see it or not, just say something if you have something to say, don't pretend to be a ghost."

Brother Rui frowned: "Little Jie!"

I don't know what the relationship between the two is, Ruan Yunjie pouted after being reprimanded, but did not continue to say anything.

Shen Yiqiong had a fiery temper. Although he was under the tutelage of Lin Zhushui, his family was also a master of Feng Shui. In addition, his talent was good, and he was pampered from childhood to adulthood. Besides, he has seen a lot of dignitaries in this line of work, and he doesn't care about people like Ruan Yunjie at all. If it wasn't for Ruan Yunjie being Lin Zhushui's guest, he would have turned his face long ago.

Zhou Jiayu didn't feel anything, all his attention was attracted by Ruan Yunjie's dark and blue appearance.

Ruan Yunjie angrily sat down on the sofa again. Brother Rui looked ashamed and said, "I'm sorry, that's her personality..."

Shen Yiqiong made a stop gesture and said, "Don't tell me, talk to him when Mr. arrives."

Brother Rui said embarrassedly.

In late June, it was summer, and the road outside the garden was covered with trees, but it was not too hot.

There is no air conditioner or fan in the wooden building where Zhou Jiayu lives, but the temperature is kept at 25 or 6 degrees. I don't know what method is used.

When Lin Zhushui came, Zhou Jiayu was about to fall asleep, leaning on the armrest of the sofa, his eyes half-closed.

Shen Yiqiong's voice woke him up from his tiredness, and Shen Yiqiong said, "Sir, you are here!"

Lin Zhushui hummed lightly.

Zhou Jiayu immediately woke up when he heard Lin Zhushui's voice. He rubbed his eyes and saw Lin Zhushui standing in front of him. Approaching from outside the house this summer, Lin Zhushui did not see any trace of sweat on his body. He raised his hand and gently turned the jade bracelet on his right wrist. The pale fingertips caught Zhou Jiayu's attention.

Lin Zhushui said, "What's wrong?"

Ruan Yunjie thought that Lin Zhushui was asking herself, and said, "Mr. Lin, we waited for you for so long, you still don't know what happened?"

Lin Zhushui said coldly, "I didn't ask you,"

Ruan Yunjie was stunned, and Zhou Jiayu only noticed that Lin Zhushui's face was slanted towards him this time, and she realized that Lin Zhushui was asking herself. He was inexplicably embarrassed, a little blush appeared on his cheeks, and he murmured, "No, it's fine."

Lin Zhushui said, "Have you taken the medicine well?"

Zhou Jiayu said, "It's on." The tattoo was completely finalized, the pain disappeared, and the skin healed very well.

The two asked and answered, and put Ruan Yunjie aside, making her face blue with anger. Indeed, wherever she goes with her current status, it seems to be the focus. Ordinary people see that she has been entertained with ardent attitude, how can they receive such a cold reception.

Ruan Yunjie laughed angrily, she almost gritted her teeth and thought, if this person named Lin Zhushui doesn't give her an explanation today, she will never finish!

Compared with Ruan Yunjie, the attitude of brother Rui next to her is almost respectful, he said, "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry."

Lin Zhushui said, "Why?"

Brother Rui was stunned.

Lin Zhushui said, "I can't save her."

Brother Rui trembled violently, and he said in despair, "Mr. Lin, only you can help me—"

Lin Zhushui's expression was as cold as a statue made of jade. He walked slowly to the suspicious Ruan Yunjie, and spit out four words: "The image of early death."

Brother Rui was paralyzed, and Ruan Yunjie's expression froze. If ordinary people dared to say these words in front of her, she would have been furious. But facing the frosty Lin Zhushui, those anger turned into fear, choking Ruan Yunjie's heart.

"Long hated eyebrows, the sky is caved in, the face is small and the nose is low." Lin Zhushui's tone was still very light, as if it was not someone else's life, but something insignificant, "I touched something that shouldn't be touched. ?"

Ruan Yunjie's eyes widened and her lips trembled, she said, "I-I don't know what you're talking about..."

Zhou Jiayu heard it in the fog, and he had to rely on Jiba in his head to give him popular science. Jiba said: "Changing eyebrows means tight eyebrows and eyes, the sky is Yintang, and the face is small and the nose is low. I don't need to say it."

Zhou Jiayu said, "Jiba, you are really amazing."

Jiba proudly raised his cute little head: "Everyone can't miss Jiba!"

Zhou Jiayu: "..." No, girls don't really need you.

After Lin Zhushui finished speaking, he said to Brother Rui, "You should know that, since you couldn't stop it at the beginning, why should you come to me now?"

Brother Rui's face was as white as that of a dead man.

Lin Zhushui didn't rush, just waited quietly.

Brother Rui said, "Xiao Jie, tell your husband about you, otherwise, I can't do anything about it."

Ruan Yunjie was still standing aggressively, but after listening to Lin Zhushui's words, she couldn't stand, she walked to Brother Rui, sat down slowly, and said with a stiff expression: "He doesn't have anything substantial. I didn't say it, 10000, in case it's a liar, trying to take my words..."

When Shen Yiqiong heard Ruan Yunjie's statement, he glanced at Zhou Jiayu, patted him on the shoulder and bit his ear softly: "Look, it's all a good thing you liars have done."

Zhou Jiayu: "… "

Shen Yiqiong said, "What would you do if you met?"

Zhou Jiayu said calmly: "This client is too big, I'm afraid I have to prepare before starting."

Shen Yiqiong said, "It makes sense."

Although what they said was very quiet, Lin Zhushui should be able to hear them. Although he didn't respond, Zhou Jiayu noticed his right hand hanging by his side, and rubbed his index finger and thumb gently, frightened Zhou Jia. The fish fell silent immediately.

"If you don't throw away the things on the head of your bed, your child won't be able to give birth." Lin Zhushui's tone was a little cold, "It's no use begging me, the law of heaven is a cycle of karma, and what should be repaid has to be repaid. ."

Ruan Yunjie was paralyzed, she was breathing heavily, and her eyes were full of fear. Lin Zhushui's words hit the deepest fear in her soul. Her bed is different from others. The head of the bed is empty and can be opened, and there are very special things inside. Only she herself knew about this, and even her closest brother Rui never told her.

"What's on the bedside?" Brother Rui was dumbfounded and turned to look at Ruan Yunjie, "Xiaojie, what are you putting on the bedside—"

Ruan Yunjie said with a strong smile: "Yes, I asked for it from Thailand that time..."

Brother Rui said: "How dare you do it, didn't I tell you not to touch those things!!" He seemed to be in a hurry, and stood up from the sofa, "It's all this time, you still lie to me??"

Ruan Yunjie didn't say anything, she just clasped her arms and trembled. The arrogance and arrogance that came here in the first place was completely gone. When he looked up at Lin Zhushui, the disdain and suspicion in his eyes turned into fear and prayer.

"Lin, Mr. Lin." Ruan Yunjie said, "I was wrong before. You, you are really amazing. Look, can you save me?"

Lin Zhushui did not speak.

Ruan Yunjie smiled like she was crying: "I can give you a lot of money, a lot of money..."

Lin Zhushui closed his eyes, like a ruthless Buddha statue, crying and begging, but he didn't show any emotion.

Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong didn't dare to speak beside them.

The ashtray in front of Brother Rui was soon filled with cigarette butts, and his voice became hoarse, and said, "Mr. Lin, Xiao Jie is the person I love, I can't watch her have an accident, can you help her... "

Lin Zhushui began to gently turn the jade on his wrist again.

Seeing that Lin Zhushui did not directly refuse, Brother Rui quickly said to Ruan Yunjie: "Little Jie, come here and tell Mr. carefully what happened."

Although Ruan Yunjie was nodding her head, her eyes turned hesitantly around Shen Yiqiong and Zhou Jiayu who were behind Lin Zhushui. She said, "They..." It's time for them, and she is obviously still worried about the two of them. Identity, afraid of rumors that should not be spread.

Brother Rui said bitterly, "They are Mr. Lin's disciples. It's all over now. What do you care about? I think you really don't want to live anymore."

Ruan Yunjie gritted her teeth and said, "Okay... I said... "

"It started last month, it was a nightmare at first, I would have the same one every day..." Ruan Yunjie said, "I dreamed that I was lying on the bed, there was a rustling sound in the room, and then I would see A dry human skin slowly creeps towards me...

Zhou Jiayu was not afraid of ghosts, it was like listening to a story, Shen Yiqiong didn't care, Lin Zhushui turned the jade beads on his wrist gently.

"The skin will climb from the living room, to the bedroom, and finally to my bed." Ruan Yunjie's face was pale and almost bloodless. Brother Rui looked at her like this, and reached out and held her hand a little unbearably. Only then did Ruan Yunjie take a breath, and continued with a crying voice, "Then it slowly covers my body..."

"In the dream, I was very conscious, and I could even feel that the skin of the man and my skin were gradually merging together." Ruan Yunjie said, "I am woken up every day..."

When Lin Zhushui heard this, he asked, "How long have you been dreaming?"

Ruan Yunjie calculated carefully: "It started after my birthday last month, and it has been twenty-six days now."

Lin Zhushui nodded: "Continue."

Ruan Yunjie said: "I thought I was just too tired to have nightmares and took a rest for half a month, but just last week, I found out..."

Lin Zhushui listened quietly.

Ruan Yunjie cried out in a hurry: "I found that when I woke up, a piece of skin on my lower abdomen was peeled off—"

As soon as she said these words, the temperature of the whole room seemed to drop a bit.

Zhou Jiayu was feeling terrified, but felt a pain in his arm. He turned his head and saw that Shen Yiqiong was holding onto his shoulder, with an excited expression like a dog going out for fun.

"...Hey." Zhou Jiayu said, "Take it easy."

Only then did Shen Yiqiong realize that he was using too much force. He let go of his hand and geared up: "It's a big list."

Zhou Jiayu: "Why are you so happy?"

Shen Yiqiong said: "Actual combat experience!"

Zhou Jiayu: "..." You can speak louder to see if Lin Zhushui will throw it directly.
