Hai Guanchao got off work a little late today because Zheng Minmin brought her child to the clinic, which was discovered by Fang Zhe.
"It seems to be looking for you," Fang Zhe looked at the sea and watched the tide, "I'll give you a dark eye."
Hai Guanchao and Ren Fangzhe opened his eyes to him, and when he looked again, there was a female ghost with long hair fluttering at the door, and a young child with a bare butt lying on his feet. Almost occupying the entire eye socket, Hai Guanchao's legs softened a bit when You Sensen looked over.
"...Night, good evening." Hai Guanchao greeted calmly.
Zheng Minmin also greeted Hai Guanchao in a friendly way. Although their mother and son live nearby, there is nothing they can't easily come to the door. It is always bad for ordinary living people to have too much contact with femininity. She misses Hai Guanchao. Of course, it won't hurt him.
This time Zheng Minmin came to ask some questions about the child, and Hai Guanchao endured his fear and asked.
After Zheng Minmin left, Hai Guanchao was still in shock. The child was a ghost baby. Although he knew that they would not harm him, it was really scary to look at.
Hai Guanchao didn't know how others were doing, but he looked the most terrifying of such a young kid.
Hai Guanchao closed the door and walked back, because he and Fang Zhe didn't live together now because his place was more comfortable. After saying goodbye to Fang Zhe, Hai Guanchao continued to climb up.
The music of the square dance has stopped at some point, the place has passed the noisy period, and the night wind blew in from the outside corridor and window, bringing a touch of coolness.
"woooooooo..."
Somewhere, there was a whimpering sound of a child, full of resentment and grievance, which made people feel agitated.
Who beats children? This thought flashed through Hai Guanchao's mind, but he soon felt that something was wrong. This cry... was too miserable, and it seemed to be suppressed.
Another gust of night wind blew, causing goose bumps on Hai Guanchao's hand.
What's more terrifying is that he distinguished it carefully, and the voice seemed to appear not far from him.
Cold sweat almost broke out, Hai Guanchao remembered Xie Lingya telling himself about their experience of subduing the evil way outside, in the temple of the goddess, the plastic doll pulled him and wouldn't let him go...
Also, Xie Lingya said that places like monasteries and Taoist temples are safe inside at night, but not necessarily outside. It does not mean that there are demons and ghosts who dare to be presumptuous in front of gods and Buddhas, but that there are ghosts who want to avenge their grievances, hope to be forgiven, peek at dolls, etc., and may linger outside. Especially when doing things and festivals, there are more. For example, Zheng Minmin didn't ask for help at the temple gate.
Thinking of Zheng Minmin and her son's dark eyes, Hai Guanchao's face was very pale, and trembling slightly, he climbed up another floor, and decided to go to Xie Lingya's room to find him to be brave.
By the way, if I go to Xie Lingya's room now, will I meet Shi Changxuan? If so, then I'm going to be blinded... No matter, how can I take care of so much time like this.
Hai Guanchao took a step and rushed up. As soon as he reached the floor, he turned around and saw at the end of the corridor, a little girl in a yellow dress and red leather shoes was lying on the stone fence. She was very tall, so her feet were two feet off the ground. ten centimeters...
From her mouth, there was a faint cry, as if she heard the movement halfway, she also raised her head and looked over, revealing a pale little face.
"I X—" Hai Guanchao took a few steps back and almost fell off the steps, but fortunately he grabbed the handrail.
His heart tightened, his breathing accelerated, and when Hai Guanchao was about to shout, Xie Lingya's door opened, and a man came out, holding a peach branch in his hand, knocking on the palm of his hand and saying, "Come out and let it go for you. Why isn't it over yet, I'm going back to do my homework."
Hai Guanchao: "???"
It was also after seeing Xie Lingya that Hai Guanchao's heart suddenly fell to the ground, and he remembered how a ghost could appear in the view. However, he has never seen this kid before, where did he come from? Didn't Teacher Xie go out to attend the wedding today, where did you have time to catch a kid
Xie Lingya turned his head and saw Hai Guanchao on the other end, raised his hand and said hello.
Hai Guanchao walked over in shock, only to see the kid covering his face reluctantly into the room - Shi Changxuan was actually inside.
"Who is this?" Hai Guanchao asked, "I'm scared to death, crying in the middle of the night."
Xie Lingya was delighted, "Who told you to come back late, I didn't introduce you to it, this is a pen fairy, called Sha Rui, who played tricks on me at the wedding during the day, and came back to educate me."
Looking at it again at this time, sure enough, Sha Rui was lying on the table writing the test paper with tears in her eyes, while Shi Changxuan sat aside to watch, and when she saw something wrong, she told her to stop and give her a topic.
Haiguanchao: "… "
Hai Guanchao shuddered, such an education method
"Write well, don't let go until you finish." Xie Lingya said leaning against the door.
Little Pen Fairy: "…"
She sobbed suddenly, but couldn't resist, she continued to write the draft aggrievedly, and looked at Xie Lingya bitterly from time to time.
Shi Changxuan also tapped the table with his fingers, "Concentrate."
Hai Guanchao watched for a while, and sighed: "Xiao Xie can play..."
Xie Lingya was very proud and took out the full set of Olympiad exam papers in the bag, "That's right, you see, there are all subjects, from the third grade to the sixth grade. When we purify ghosts, we also need to talk about methods, and we can't just focus on intimidation. I also need to educate. If I spend money to buy paper ingots, it’s better to buy a set of test papers, right? Xiaosha, do the questions well, and after you finish writing, you will be guaranteed to purify your mind and suddenly sublime.”
Sha Rui: "..."
Haiguanchao: "… "
Hai Guanchao always felt that he was calling "stupid" instead of "sand". He looked at it a few times, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Then let's continue, it's like a family of three, it's quite warm."
Xie Lingya smiled and said: "Then why don't you stay and enjoy the family's happiness?"
Hai Guanchao: "... I thank you, no."
Hai Guanchao took a few more glances, and suddenly felt that his fear of little ghosts disappeared for no reason.
…
Sha Rui cried and said, "Brother, please let me go, I will never make trouble again."
She can't show up in Baoyangguan now, and she has to be pressed on her head to write a question. She just feels that life is better than death, and she is not happy as a ghost.
Xie Lingya: "No, my brother gave you a chance. Now that you have bought the test paper, you can't do it if you don't do it."
Shang Lu Shen gloated: "Hee hee, ha ha ha..."
Children originally liked this kind of small ear to repay the gods, but after being laughed at, they became unhappy. They thought that a bad person's friend, a bad person's ear to repay the god, is also bad...
Xie Lingya saw that Shi Changxuan gave Sha Ruili the formula, and felt more satisfied with his senior brother, "If you have a teacher like Changxuan to make up the class, you can just laugh."
Sha Rui buried her head more, and even the top of her head was exuding an unhappy breath.
After Shi Changxuan heard it, he glanced at Xie Lingya with an unclear meaning.
Xie Lingya's heart moved, thinking that Shi Changxuan was "beastish" when he heard him call his senior brother, he secretly laughed in his heart, and he was quite sullen, so he leaned over and bit his ear.
After Shi Changxuan listened, he swung the pencil in his hand, pressed Xie Lingya's neck, and covered his lips.
Xie Lingya was caught off guard and stepped back a little, but he quickly put one hand on Shi Changxuan's shoulder, opened his lips slightly, and stuck out a little tongue to entangle with him. The other hand was accurately pressed on Sha Rui's head, who wanted to look up curiously.
"Hey..." Sha Rui twisted a few times but didn't get rid of Xie Lingya's clutches, she simply slammed her head on the table and knocked it there.
Xie Lingya's kissing breathed faster and separated after a long while, looking at Shi Changxuan with wet eyes, only to see that he lowered his head and kissed his face again.
Only then did Xie Lingya let go and pick up Sha Rui, "Little cute and little baby are staring at Xiaosha to do her homework, the adults have something to do."
Sha Rui pouted and reluctantly wrote the test paper under the supervision of the two ear-reporting gods. The exam paper is hard enough, and listening to Shang Lushen is no less than the worst punishment in the world.
Xie Lingya frantically held the little pen immortal to write the test paper for several days. She wrote that she cried every day to admit her mistakes, and vowed to be a good ghost in the future, and she would not dare to bring any hatred, so Xie Lingya dealt with it leniently.
"I'll send you back. I'll send you the unfinished test papers. Go back and continue to work hard." Xie Lingya folded the willow branch, bent it, made a simple basket, and burned it.
After burning the wicker basket, it appeared in Sha Rui's hands. She cried and laughed as she gathered up the rest of the test papers, put them into the wicker basket, and slowly piled them up. She could almost cover her face, and said aggrievedly, "Thank you, teacher."
"Let's go." Xie Lingya led Sha Rui out with satisfaction, and was very kind to send her back.
Sha Rui dared to resist, holding the big basket full of test papers, and followed Xie Lingya step by step.
Xie Lingya took the bus first and then walked. When passing by, Sha Rui suddenly hid behind him.
Xie Lingya looked up and saw that they were old acquaintances, Ning Wanlai and Cheng Xin. And Ning Wanlai is still in a state of separation from the body, and I don't know how Cheng Xin saw him - but considering that Ning Wanlai has done so much time, it is not surprising that he learned a few tricks from his colleagues.
Meeting these two people, it's no wonder Sha Rui was afraid. Ning Wanlai is impermanent and has a soul chain in his hand, not to mention Cheng Xin, the policeman is upright.
"Why are you two working on a case together again?" Xie Lingya asked.
"Teacher Xie?" Ning Wanlai floated over and glanced at Sha Rui, who was hiding behind Xie Lingya, and felt very strange, why was she holding such a pile of papers, but she was obviously hiding, so he only answered Xie Lingya, "It's not a case, Cheng Xin helped me find someone, no, look for a ghost."
"Isn't there a ghost lost?" Xie Lingya said in surprise.
"No, no, I'm looking for a civil servant." Ning Wanlai said with a complicated expression, "I'm going to find a suitable ghost to go to work. I was with Cheng Xin before fainting this time, and he came out to help out by the way."
He himself was forcibly hired, and he is still a soul, so it is inevitable that he will be hurt when he speaks.
Xie Lingya said with interest: "What civil servants are you looking for, is it impermanent again?"
Ning Wanlai sighed, "If life is impermanent, it would be better to find it. The Yin Division is currently lacking a ghost, assign it to me, and let me find a suitable one."
Xie Lingya said confusedly: "What is the ghost?"
This belongs to the establishment of the underworld, and he has not worked there, nor has he seen the relevant classics, but he has only a limited understanding of it.
Ning Wanlai explained, "I didn't even know that this fetus was just pinch the face of the ghost."
"...Pinch your face?" Xie Lingya said with a complicated expression, "You don't mean plastic surgery, right? The underworld business is so extensive now that you can still have plastic surgery in the next life."
Ning Wanlai: "..."
Ning Wanlai: "It doesn't count. I heard that pinching the face of a ghost is before reincarnation. After pinching the appearance of the next life, it is time to reincarnate. Of course, some people do not need to change after reincarnation. I heard that there are also pinching for living people. For example, that is when people accumulate yin virtues, and the yin division will be kind, so people's appearance may gradually change with the encounter."
After saying this, Xie Lingya can understand, no wonder it is called a "twisted tire" ghost.
Sha Rui listened leisurely and fascinated, her neck stretched out, thinking that she also had a love for beauty at a young age.
"Then are you looking for a suitable ghost? Have you found it?" Xie Lingya asked.
"...No." Ning Wanlai's shoulders slumped, "This troll seems to be mainly to pinch the face of people who are good and virtuous, so before coming here, Wang Ge ordered to find someone with a good aesthetic standard, so I Came here."
It takes a long time for the civil servants of the underworld to change their term, and Ning Wanlai looked at the aesthetics of those who were born with a twist, and they were all quite old-fashioned.
Xie Lingya took a look, isn't it, there is a plastic surgery hospital next to this place.
Xie Lingya was delighted, but this is a professional counterpart, "Why, is there no suitable candidate for this place? Or, all of them have long lifespans, so they can't go down for a while?"
"No," Ning Wanlai said without words, "We went to a few hospitals and looked at their surgical cases, all of them were big European-style double eyelids, tall noses and pointed chins, all of which couldn't be distinguished from each other. You said , please go down and make those nobles who have accumulated yin and virtue like that, is it a reward or a punishment?"
Xie Lingya: "…"
Ning Wanlai sighed, "The standard of medical aesthetics in Niyang is really not good. I think other big cities have their own characteristics. It's okay to want that. It's a pity... Alas, I'm very distressed now."
Xie Lingya thought it was funny, "Aren't you going into a misunderstanding? Whoever said that a 'plastic ghost' has to find a plastic surgeon, can't you go to the Academy of Fine Arts to find painters and sculptors with good-looking styles? also understand."
A light bulb seemed to light up on Ning Wanlai's head, "Yes, yes, it makes sense, you can also go to the Academy of Fine Arts to find it!"
Ning Wanlai quickly thanked Lingya.
When Sha Rui heard everything, she raised her face and asked, "Sir Yin Cha, when I was reincarnated, could the twisting ghost make me into a little devil?"
Everyone: "… "
Xie Lingya pondered: "You study hard, maybe the Lord of Yin Si thinks you are very good and agrees to make you a little devil."
Sha Rui nodded vigorously, lifted the basket up, put it on her head, and ran away, "Mr. Xie doesn't need to send it, I'll go to study now—"
Xie Lingya: "…"
…
A few days later, Xie Lingya met Ning Wanlai again near the school, but it was a little far away, and he didn't take it seriously when Ning Wanlai left. Looking back and thinking about it, how did Ning Wanlai come to their school, and he wouldn't look around for it. He could find someone from their school, but Quedong College also has an art department.
Xie Lingya thought about this, and asked about Professor Zhu. Professor Zhu thought about it: "There is an old professor surnamed Bai in the Fine Arts Department. Shen has been suffering for a long time. He heard that he recently lived in the affiliated hospital-he is hospitalized every year. There is no dutiful son in front of the bed for a long time. This year, the children will not go to the hospital to take care of them, but the students will go more diligently."
Xie Lingya didn't know why, after class, he turned a corner and walked to the affiliated hospital.
The longer I have been engaged in this line of work, the more complicated I feel about the hospital. After all, it is full of life and death, and many ghosts linger.
It stands to reason that even if Xie Lingya is a relative of the Chenghuang, who the messenger wants to hook up with, he can't tell in advance. Of course, if you know it for other reasons or coincidence, as long as you don't publicize it, it's fine to keep your mouth shut.
Because Xie Lingya had given Ning Wanlai an idea, he guessed that Ning Wanlai might be trying to hide the old professor's soul.
Xie Lingya didn't know where Professor Bai lived. After wandering in the inpatient department for a while, he asked a nurse. The nurse thought he was Professor Bai's student and told him.
Professor Bai Lao was not admitted to any intensive care unit, but was in an ordinary single-person ward. When Xie Lingya entered, he was the only one inside, half lying on the bed reading a picture album.
"Xiao Hu, don't be busy..." Professor Bai raised his head and stopped, "Classmate, who are you looking for?"
Xie Lingya smiled awkwardly, "Are you Professor Bai? I'm a student of Quedong College. I like your works very much. I heard that you are hospitalized here, so I took the liberty to come and visit. Sorry to disturb you."
Professor Bai is approachable and approachable. He was very happy when he heard that he liked his work and asked him to come and sit down.
Originally, Xie Lingya could not be 100% sure that it was Professor Bai, but after seeing him and seeing that he was deadly, he knew that even if Ning Wanlai was not looking for him, he was probably dying.
However, Professor Bai should have died at the end of his life. Although he had an old disease, it had nothing to do with it. The physical reaction was not great. I am afraid that the doctor did not know that Professor Bai's life span was only a few days ago. Life and death are impermanent.
But just looking at now, Professor Bai is in good spirits. He chatted with Xie Lingya a few times, and after hearing Xie Lingya say that his portraits are well drawn, he laughed, "If it weren't for my health now, I would have asked you to come and give it to me. I'm a model, you boy, you have a very good temperament."
"Thank you, Professor Bai, Professor Bai, can I take the liberty of asking for a draft of yours?" Xie Lingya asked tentatively.
Without hesitation, Professor Bai said, "Yes, yes, I can give you an original manuscript, but all my paintings are at home, when I am discharged from the hospital..." He said, suddenly paused, with a complicated look on his face.
Professor Bai is seventy-three this year. He is on the threshold. He suffered a lot of crimes when he was young.
"Hey... I'll make a call and ask my daughter to bring it over." Professor Bai sighed, took out his mobile phone, and called the child.
Xie Lingya said that he was in trouble, and chatted with Professor Bai Lao again. At this time, a young man came back, a student of Professor Bai Lao, who had just gone to the cafeteria to get soup.
After a few sips of soup, Professor Bai couldn't drink it, and after chatting just now, he was not in good spirits, so he lay down slowly and asked, "Xiao Hu, Xiao Xie, what do you think after a person dies? What? I still want to paint, but I don’t know if the underworld has such conditions.”
Xiao Hu was very uncomfortable. When a person dies, he will die, but he can't say it, so he comforted: "Professor, don't think so much, it will get better, then we will go to sketch together, didn't you say last time, Do you want to paint the Taoist temple in the city center?"
Professor Bai nodded shyly.
Xie Lingya said bluntly: "Professor Bai, there are also conditions in the underworld to paint, and a gentleman like you must arrange positions related to painting. You see that you are retired now, and you have to be like us when you get down. Keep working and be busy.”
Xiaohu stared at Xie Lingya secretly.
However, Professor Bai was very happy and said with a sigh, "It's just like this..."
Xie Lingya looked back and saw that Ning Wanlai was already standing at the door.
His eyes were also a little surprised, as if he didn't understand why Xie Lingya was here.
Xie Lingya's expression changed, he stood up and looked around at the door, only to hear the sound of high heels stepping on the ground, a woman with curly hair came over with a rolled up piece of paper in her hand and looked at it casually. Xie Lingya entered the ward at a glance, "Dad."
Professor Bai showed a happy look, "Xiaojuan is here, you can give that young man the picture, he is mine... What, fans."
Bai Juan handed the painting to Xie Lingya, then sat beside the bed, "Dad, haven't you finished the soup? Your face is not very good, do you want to drink more?"
"It's okay, let's talk, you finally came to see me." Professor Bai held his daughter's hand and said vaguely.
Bai Juan's face didn't look good in an instant, and her eyes were wet. Indeed, there was no dutiful son in front of the bed for a long time. This old man has been ill for a long time, and he doesn't like to be vulnerable in front of her, for fear of causing trouble to her.
Now listening to her father's confession, Bai Juan suddenly felt very guilty. At the same time, she also felt a little strange. Dad usually doesn't talk like this, "I'll stay here with you tonight, I'll come more... Dad."
Professor Bai smiled and said, "Your mother left early, and I was busy with work before. Fortunately, you are very independent and capable..."
He began to ramble about the past, and Bai Juan held his father's hand and listened carefully.
Xie Lingya saw Ning Wanlai watching the time, and when she couldn't wait any longer, she took out the soul-locking chain—
Professor Bai was talking, and when his head tilted, he seemed to fall asleep.
Bai Juan also felt her hand loosen, and after waiting for three or five seconds, she suddenly reacted, "Dad, Daddy?!"
Xiao Hu also hurriedly called the doctors and nurses to come over, but it was too late.
- Professor Bai has passed away.
Bai Juan burst into tears. She didn't come to the hospital very much during this period of time. She was really unfilial, and the old man left so suddenly. If her father suddenly asked her to send her paintings, I'm afraid she would never see her for the last time.
…
No one noticed that Xie Lingya had left at an unknown time. When Bai Juan remembered it later, she only thought that the student, who didn't know his name, had quietly left while they were chatting before them.
When Ning Wanlai led Professor Bai away, Xie Lingya stood on the side of the corridor and bowed slightly to bid him farewell.
From then on, Professor Bai Lao is the youngest and latest ghost in Yin Si.
Professor Bai's soul showed a look of realization, and he nodded to Xie Lingya with a light smile, "Thank you, young man."
Xie Lingya watched the two of them, suddenly remembered something, stopped them, and asked seriously, "I want to ask you, old man, have you watched "XXXX Little Devil"?"
Professor Bai was stunned, "... what is that?"
"It's nothing," Ning Wanlai hugged Old Professor Bai and continued walking, "It's just that some people are bullying elementary school students again."
