The crying of the child next door became more and more harsh. It seemed that the sound was not received through hearing. Zhou Jiayu covered his ears with his hands, but the sound did not weaken at all.
Zhou Jiayu sat beside the bed for a while, and couldn't take it anymore, he said, "Can I ask Lin Zhushui what happened?"
Jiba said, "Go, he won't eat you."
Zhou Jiayu thought that it was the same, so he gathered up his courage and walked to the door of Lin Zhushui's room. However, when he got to the door, he hesitated, and he said, "He won't be really angry, will he?"
Jiba said, "Be brave!"
With Jiba's encouragement, Zhou Jiayu slowly raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.
There was no response, the child's cry still lingered in his ears, and the corridor was silent. Zhou Jiayu was both disappointed and relieved. He said, "Well... it seems that he has already slept, so I won't disturb him."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but before he took two steps, the door behind him creaked open.
Lin Zhushui's voice came: "What?"
Zhou Jiayu's back froze, he turned around awkwardly, and said at a loss, "Lin, Mr. Lin, good evening."
Lin Zhushui said, "Okay."
Zhou Jiayu said: "That... I heard the cry of a child in your house next door... "
Lin Zhushui raised his eyebrows slightly. He seemed a little surprised by Zhou Jiayu's remarks. He said, "Can you hear me?"
Zhou Jiayu laughed dryly, he already regretted coming over to ask, seeing Lin Zhushui's expression, he always felt as if nothing good happened next.
"If you can hear me, come in." Lin Zhushui said, "I'm worried."
Zhou Jiayu let out a loud "ah". He didn't expect that Lin Zhushui would suddenly ask him to come in. He didn't know how to refuse, so he could only stiffen his body and enter Lin Zhushui's room. If Lin Zhushui could see it now, he would definitely find that Zhou Jiayu was actually walking with his hands and feet.
Zhou Jiayu entered the room and saw a gadget sitting on the big bed at a glance.
That thing was no more than the size of a palm, and it was wearing a small red apron. The fat little hands were wiping tears, and the little mouth was pouting and was crying—obviously, the source of the cry that Zhou Jiayu heard was this Mini doll.
Zhou Jiayu was startled and muttered, "Really?!"
Lin Zhushui said, "What happened?"
Zhou Jiayu quickly changed the subject and said, "No, it's okay, Mr. Lin, what is this?" Although he looked similar to a child, it was obviously impossible for him to be a human being.
Lin Zhushui said, "Well... Actually, I can't see it."
Zhou Jiayu: "… "
Lin Zhushui's expression was quite meaningful. He didn't open his eyes, but his expression still made Zhou Jiayu feel numb in his scalp, and even took two steps back involuntarily.
Lin Zhushui seemed to sense Zhou Jiayu's movements, and smiled faintly: "What are you afraid of?"
Zhou Jiayu looked at Lin Zhushui's smile a little dumbfounded. This was the first time he saw Lin Zhushui's smile. Although it was fleeting, a word popped up in his mind—color like spring flowers.
Lin Zhushui's smile really had a strange beauty of blooming flowers on the ice field.
"I-I'm not afraid." Zhou Jiayu shivered, unable to speak clearly.
Lin Zhushui said, "Since you're not afraid, then go over and coax it."
Zhou Jiayu said, "Huh? Who to coax?"
Lin Zhushui said, "That thing on the bed."
Zhou Jiayu said cowardly, "I'm not afraid of you, but the one on the bed."
Lin Zhushui smiled like a smile: "Oh? Are you really afraid of me?"
Zhou Jiayu stopped talking and walked to the bed with his head lowered. In fact, he was still more afraid of Lin Zhushui. Although the doll on the bed didn't seem to be a human being, it seemed to be coaxing.
The little doll was really only the size of a palm, and Zhou Jiayu, who was crying, had a headache. Zhou Jiayu hesitated for a moment, and reached out to hug it.
When the doll found out that someone could actually hold it, she was surprised and babbled, but Zhou Jiayu couldn't understand a word.
Lin Zhushui acted as a translator: "It's called your mother."
Zhou Jiayu: "… "
Lin Zhushui said, "I also said I wanted to drink milk."
Zhou Jiayu: "..."
Lin Zhushui saw that Zhou Jiayu was about to cry, and finally added: "I lied to you."
Zhou Jiayu suddenly wanted to kneel down to Lin Zhushui and say, big guy, please stop playing with me.
Zhou Jiayu's reaction seemed to open the door to a new world for Lin Zhushui. His four apprentices were all respectful. He said that few people in the east did not dare to go west. Of course, what attracted Lin Zhushui the most was Zhou Jiayu's heaven-defying talent.
Even he could only "see" the outline of the doll on the bed, but Zhou Jiayu obviously not only had the outline, but he could even touch it with his bare hands without any other means.
Zhou Jiayu's talent was already ranked first or second in Lin Zhuiping's life.
"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt anyone for the time being." Lin Zhushui said, "please stop crying first, my brain hurts when I cry."
Zhou Jiayu coaxed the doll and whispered, "Mr. Lin, what the hell is this?"
Lin Zhushui said, "Have you heard of raising a kid?"
Zhou Jiayu nodded.
Lin Zhushui said: "In our case, it is called raising a little ghost, and in Thailand, it is called Gumantong. It means to take the real thing as the body and introduce the soul of the child into it, you can seek money, you can seek power, and you can do anything. ."
At this time, the doll shrank in Zhou Jiayu's hands, and the cry seemed to be a little smaller. It felt the same as human skin, but there was hardly any heat.
Zhou Jiayu patted its back and watched it slowly show tiredness.
Lin Zhushui said, "Ruan Yunjie, what I want is Gumantong."
I don't know if I heard the name in Lin Zhushui's mouth, the doll that was about to calm down suddenly burst into flames, and a thick black gas came out of his body. With teeth like nails, Zhou Jiayu's hand was about to bite down.
Lin Zhushui moved very fast, and before the child could speak, he lifted him by the back of his neck like a cat.
"Wow!!!!" The children cried loudly, and the wind was blowing outside the window, and the curtains and windows were cracked.
Lin Zhushui frowned and said, "You have to think about it clearly, if you take revenge, you won't be able to reincarnate."
The child's eyes began to cry blood, and the cute and docile appearance just now disappeared.
Lin Zhushui let out a long sigh, with a little irritability in his tone: "Why?"
Obviously the two of them couldn't reach a consensus on this matter. Lin Zhushui looked at the child's rage, and suddenly said, "You skinned her because of..."
When the child heard this, he didn't move or cry.
Lin Zhushui sighed, "So that's the case."
Zhou Jiayu didn't understand what was going on the whole time, he said, "Sir...?"
"It's getting late, go to bed." Lin Zhushui said, "I have to go to the cemetery tomorrow."
Zhou Jiayu felt that he was suffocated to death by Lin Zhushui sooner or later, and returned to his room sluggishly. He thought he would lose sleep, but it turned out that he underestimated the thickness of his nerves, because he just lay in bed, fell asleep instantly.
At breakfast the next day, Zhou Jiayu asked Shen Yiqiong if he heard anything last night.
Shen Yiqiong was inexplicable: "What did you hear?"
Zhou Jiayu shook his head and said, "Okay, nothing."
Lin Zhushui arrived late. He didn't seem to be interested in food. After drinking a glass of milk, he stopped.
The three of them were eating when Brother Rui and Ruan Yunjie came. They probably hadn't slept all night, and Brother Rui looked terrible. Ruan Yunjie wore a mask and sunglasses, covering herself tightly.
Brother Rui said: "Mr. Lin, our furniture has been replaced according to your requirements, and the tombstone is still being made. It should be done in the afternoon."
Lin Zhushui said, "Let's go to the villa first."
Brother Rui quickly said yes.
A few people returned to Ruan Yunjie's residence. After a night of hard work, all the furniture in the house was moved out. The house was empty.
Lin Zhushui turned around on the first floor, then went to the second floor. When he arrived at the door of Ruan Yunjie's bedroom, his footsteps stopped.
Seeing Lin Zhushui's reaction, Brother Rui quickly asked, "Sir, what's the matter?"
Lin Zhushui said, "Don't go in yet, go and get some flour from the kitchen."
Brother Rui didn't dare to ask why, so he went downstairs to the kitchen and dragged a bag of flour up.
Lin Zhushui took the flour into the house and sprinkled it as he walked. At first, they didn't understand what he was doing. Only when they looked closely did they realize that the floor of the whole house was densely printed with the palm prints of countless children.
The palm prints obviously did not belong to a child, they were large and small and covered every corner of the floor.
Zhou Jiayu's scalp was numb, Ruan Yunjie reacted even more, and ran out of the room screaming.
Lin Zhushui pointed at the wall very indifferently and said, "It's all on the wall, on the ceiling."
Brother Rui was completely blown up. Looking at the palm prints in the room, he couldn't imagine what it would look like when he and Ruan Yunjie were sleeping here.
Standing next to Zhou Jiayu, Shen Yiqiong said horribly, "This is too scary, what the hell."
Brother Rui asked, "Mr. Lin, this, this?"
Lin Zhushui waved his hand in disgust: "I don't know, ask her."
Brother Rui could only turn around and go out.
Ruan Yunjie's crying could be heard faintly outside the house, and Lin Zhushui said to Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong, "Look carefully, how many people do the handprints in the house belong to."
Shen Yiqiong sighed and nodded in agreement.
Zhou Jiayu wondered, "Sir, didn't you already take it away?" He saw that gadget in Lin Zhushui's house last night.
Lin Zhushui sneered: "I took one away, who knows how many she has raised?"
Linking Ruan Yunjie's reaction, Zhou Jiayu suddenly had a very bad association...
After observing the whole room, Shen Yiqiong and Zhou Jiayu told Lin Zhushui the conclusion.
There are at least three different palm prints in the room, apparently belonging to three children of different shapes and sizes.
Lin Zhushui knew about this situation, turned around and left. Seeing his face sinking like water, Brother Rui quickly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Lin, where are you going?"
Lin Zhushui said, "I'm not that talented, so I can't handle it."
Brother Rui was stunned: "But Mr. Lin, you are gone, what should Yun Jie do?"
Lin Zhushui sneered: "She knows what to do."
