"Luck?" Chu Li and Pei Qingzhi looked at each other.
"En." Tang Xi nodded.
"Well, I can understand the meaning of the word luck." Pei Qingzhi said, "but I don't understand why something like luck exists in two ordinary students, Han Zhen and Tang Jing?"
"Luck is such a mysterious thing, maybe the two of them saved the world in their previous life." Tang Xi said jokingly.
"But Han Zhen is just an ordinary student, and has nothing to do with all the incidents." Chu Li wondered, "It's such a dangerous thing to involve outsiders rashly, it's not appropriate."
Tang Xi shook her head, thinking that Han Zhen was not an outsider.
After a while, she said: "Han Zhen is an adult, he can be responsible for his own choice. I will talk to him, let him choose if he wants to help."
"Alright." Chu Li nodded, and took out another box from the drawer.
"Fu Xiao brought it?" Tang Xi said, taking it and weighing it in his hand.
The box looks to be made of rosewood, like the kind of jewelry box used by ladies in ancient times. The lid is carved with exquisite patterns and has a built-in lock. Just looking carefully, the pattern is not a common dragon, phoenix, flower and landscape, but more like some kind of rune.
"It doesn't matter much." Tang Xi muttered.
The box is not light, but it is the weight that rosewood itself should be.
"Fu Xiao said that the man didn't give her the key, but asked her to keep the box." Chu Li added.
"Can you open it?" Pei Qingzhi leaned over, "This lock is very special, there is no keyhole."
"Things in the metaphysics world, do you actually think that they are opened with physical keys?" Tang Xi gave him a strange look.
"Then what? Spirit power?" Pei Qingzhi asked.
Tang Xi closed her eyes, tapped the lock with her fingertips, and a ray of spiritual power penetrated in. After a while, she opened her eyes and shook her head: "No, this is a spiritual power lock."
"Spiritual power... what lock?" Chu Li asked.
"To put it simply, there is a maze hidden in this lock." Tang Xi threw the box and explained, "There is no dead end in this maze, every road can reach the end, and the choice of each fork is different, which means A brand new route can eventually evolve into thousands of different routes. And among these thousands of routes, only one is correct."
"What if you take the wrong route?" Chu Li asked nervously.
"That depends on how the owner of the box has set it up. There are two possibilities—" Tang Xi raised two fingers, and put away one first, "It is permanently locked, and it can no longer be opened by this method."
"What about the other one?" Pei Qingzhi asked subconsciously.
"Bah~" Tang Xi put away her second finger, simulating an explosion scene, smiling eyes, "The self-destruct device is activated."
"So, if you want to open the box, you have to know the correct order?" Chu Li confirmed.
"That's about it." Tang Xi stuffed the box into her bag, "Put this thing here first, safe."
Just then, the phone vibrated.
"Huh?" Tang Xi glanced at the news, raised her eyebrows slightly, "Second Uncle Cheng is back."
"That's more than a few helpers." Chu Li said.
"Well, it just so happens that I have something to ask Second Uncle Cheng." Tang Xi stood up, "I'll go to Han Zhen first, and then Second Uncle Cheng."
"I'm with you." Pei Qingzhi followed suit and stood up.
"Okay, I just have something to deal with." Chu Li's eyes flashed coldly, "Also, although it may not be useful, let Xiao Xiao try to find Tang Jing's whereabouts through the Sky Eye system."
Tang Xi waved with her back to him, and was about to open the door when the ghost music on the phone rang.
Picking up the phone, she couldn't help but pause slightly.
"What's wrong?" Pei Qingzhi asked.
"The fixed line at home." Tang Xi said in a deep voice.
"What?" Chu Li raised his head in surprise.
He, Tang Xi, and Pei Qingzhi are all here, and they will use their fixed line at home to make calls... Ghost
"Hello?" Tang Xi answered the ghost call.
"Xiao Xi." Aunt Zhang's voice seemed a little distorted with the buzzing of electric current on the phone, "Miao Miao seems to be sick, she didn't eat or drink this morning, and just lay on your bed to sleep, what should I do? Do you want to take it to the hospital?"
"What? Wait, I'll be right back." Tang Xi said immediately.
"What's wrong?" Chu Li asked.
"For small matters, just do as I said just now." Tang Xi said.
When Chu Li heard the words, he didn't ask any further questions. He knew that Tang Xi was a sensible person, since she didn't say anything, it meant that it was not a big deal and she could handle it herself.
Tang Xi and Pei Qingzhi went downstairs, and Pei Qingzhi had already acquiesced, consciously getting into the co-pilot of the Lamborghini.
"Go home first." Tang Xi ignited and started the car.
Pei Qingzhi didn't say anything.
At this point in time, the morning rush hour has passed, the road is clear, and I will return home soon.
"Xiao Xi." Aunt Zhang greeted her worriedly.
"It's okay." Tang Xi walked in and carried the white cat out.
"Ill?" Pei Qingzhi touched its head in surprise, it was a little hot.
"Meow~" the white cat called softly, and closed its eyes again.
"Aunt Zhang, cat food and canned food." Tang Xi said.
"It's all ready." Aunt Zhang came over with a bag.
"Let me drive." Pei Qingzhi took the car keys.
"Okay." Tang Xi glanced at the cat that was holding on to her sleeve, nodded helplessly, and gave him an address, "The last time it was injured was seen at this pet hospital, and a file has been created. It's more convenient to go directly."
"Okay." Pei Qingzhi nodded.
On the way, Tang Xi used WeChat to contact the pet doctor, and when they arrived, the doctor was already waiting in the examination room.
"Hey, let the doctor see what's wrong with you." Tang Xi said patiently.
"Baby, come here, sister." The female doctor coaxed gently, and it took a lot of effort to get the white cat off Tang Xi's body.
"It's strange, it's usually not clingy." Tang Xi said.
"Animals are like children. When they are sick, they tend to be vulnerable, so they love to cling to their owners." The female doctor was not surprised, touched the white cat's head, and whispered, "This body temperature is a bit high, but Just make sure it’s not feline distemper, generally speaking, the probability of adult cats getting feline distemper is relatively low.”
On the other side, the nurse has called up the records.
The female doctor glanced at it and said, "Well, it was originally a stray cat, but it should be an adult due to its body shape. Last time it was traumatized, and some examinations were not done. This time it just happened to be done. Have you vaccinated it?"
"Vaccination is complete." Tang Xi nodded.
"Okay, wait a minute." The female doctor said, walking inside with the white cat in her arms.
"Excuse me, how long will it take for the test results to come out?" Tang Xi asked.
"This... About two or three hours." The female doctor said.
"Thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you, I have something to do here, can you come back later?" Tang Xi said obediently, "If there is any emergency, you can just call me."
"Okay." The female doctor didn't care much. Sometimes it is inconvenient for the owner to be around, such as drawing blood and giving injections. The owner will be reluctant to see the pain of the pet, so it is better not to see it.
"To Han's house?" Pei Qingzhi understood.
"Yes." Tang Xi replied.
She picked up the white cat near Jiangnan No. 1 High School, and the pet hospital was also nearby, and No. 1 High School was also not far from Han's house.
After the college entrance examination, Han Zhen, like the original book, was admitted to the Capital University, which was a different major from Qi Sihui. Fortunately, today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the students have all gone home, so they can find someone.
"You actually have Han Zhen's phone number?" Pei Qingzhi couldn't help but look at Tang Xi flipping through the address book.
"..." Tang Xi paused, then turned her head and smiled, "Are you jealous?"
"Yeah." Pei Qingzhi nodded seriously, "I ate it, it's sour."
"Pfft..." Tang Xi couldn't help laughing, then lowered her head and continued to turn.
"I said, I'm jealous." Pei Qingzhi repeated persistently.
"I know, I know, let Aunt Zhang make vinegar jellyfish tonight." Tang Xi raised one hand and stroked his hair without looking.
"..." Pei Qingzhi stared at her accusingly.
"I asked Xiao Liu to send it to me on the way to the pet hospital just now." Tang Xi said with a suppressed smile, "Han Zhen is a participant in the Lumingshan case, and he has recorded a statement with the police, so you can check his phone number. "
Pei Qingzhi's eyes were a little erratic, so he hurriedly concentrated on driving. If you look closely, you can find that the skin behind the ears is a little pink.
"Ah, I found it." Tang Xi dialed directly.
After three rings, the phone was connected—it really is the etiquette of a big family, even if it is an unfamiliar number that may be a sales or scam.
"Hello? Who are you looking for?" Han Zhen's voice was a little cold.
"It's me, Tang Xi." Tang Xi looked at the surrounding environment, motioned Pei Qingzhi to park the car in a parking space on the side of the road, and said, "I'm near your house now, I need you for something, do you have time to come out?" ?”
"Wait a moment." Han Zhen said, and then it seemed that the microphone was covered, and only vague voices could be heard. After a while, he continued, "The location."
"Starbucks, I'll send you the location," Tang Xi said.
"Okay." Han Zhen was also very straightforward, agreed, and immediately hung up the phone.
Tang Xi and Pei Qingzhi pushed open the door of Starbucks, ordered two cups of coffee, sat down in a quiet corner, and sent the location.
Twenty minutes later, Han Zhen's figure appeared in sight.
I haven't seen him for a year, and the boy hasn't changed much. Without Tang Jing, Han Zhen is still the same Han Zhen, but his temperament is colder, but he is also mature.
Han Zhen glanced around, walked over, and sat down opposite them.
"Sorry, I called you out suddenly." Tang Xi nodded.
"It's okay, but a family friend came to visit today, and I'm going back right away. To make a long story short," Han Zhen said.
"Tang Jing is missing." Tang Xi said directly.
Han Zhen was obviously taken aback, and then said: "I haven't contacted her for almost four months."
Even if they are in the same capital, they are in different schools after all, and everyone has their own homework to complete. He dared to say that he saw Qi Sihui in the library more times than Tang Jing in this year. At the beginning, Tang Jing called him frequently, but gradually, she seemed to notice his increasingly indifferent and perfunctory attitude, and gradually cooled down.
Han Zhen thinks that maybe this is also the most suitable result, so be it, if you can't be a lover, you definitely can't be a friend, just drift away like this, leaving only the most beautiful memories of each other in each other's memory, just for this loveless relationship. Guo's first love has come to an end.
But unexpectedly, just when he was about to forget, Tang Xi appeared in front of him and told him that Tang Jing was missing. Let him subconsciously think, could it be that... Tang Jing's disappearance has something to do with him
"Don't think too much, her disappearance is not your problem." Tang Xi comforted.
"Then what do you want me to do?" Han Zhen looked at her, then at Pei Qingzhi next to him, with doubts on his face, "I don't know her recent situation, I think you have found the wrong person."
"No." Tang Xi said gently, "I know where Tang Jing is and why she was kidnapped, and you have the same reason."
"You mean... I have the same thing as Tang Jing, so I will be targeted too?" Han Zhen said after thinking for a while.
"The other party probably doesn't know that you have it, but unfortunately I do." Tang Xi sighed and said seriously, "Listen carefully to what follows before answering me."
Han Zhen was startled and nodded.
"Someone uses Tang Jing to do something, and the result may be very bad. I need to stop him now, so I need you like Tang Jing." Tang Xi said in a deep voice, "Of course, it is dangerous and life-threatening. I will I will try my best to protect you, but no one can tell what happens unexpectedly. Therefore, I will not force you to go or not. If you choose not to go, I will erase your memory of today. Just continue to live your life without knowing it, and you won't be kidnapped morally."
It took Han Zhen a long time to digest what she meant, and said in confusion, "What do you need me to help you with? People like you... go to heaven and earth at every turn. I'm just an ordinary person."
"Save the world." Tang Xi couldn't help laughing. She knew that since Han Zhen could ask this question, she had actually agreed in her heart, so she explained in detail about the gate of ghosts and the six reincarnations.
"Wait, wait, let me take care of it." The calm mask on Han Zhen's face was completely broken, rubbing the center of his brows, and concluded, "So, you want to open that ghost door, but another group of people are interfering , the purpose is unknown. So, you asked me for help to deal with this group of people?"
"That's almost what it means." Tang Xi nodded, and said solemnly, "I don't know what he wants to do and how to do it, but I don't want to do something that requires all-out effort, and there are dangers behind it. I want to do it well. All the preparations that can be done."
"How dangerous is it?" Han Zhen asked.
"I don't know." Tang Xi spread her hands, "I can only guarantee that you will be alive before I die."
"Xiaoxi." Pei Qingzhi couldn't help calling out.
"Anxin, it's just the worst outcome." Tang Xi patted his hand, "I'm very good."
"You don't have to do this..." Han Zhen was also taken aback for a moment before saying.
"Because you are a civilian and I am a policeman—" Tang Xi smiled, "If it was Chu Li, he would probably say that."
"You..." Pei Qingzhi couldn't help laughing.
"I, I have always been too proud." Tang Xi raised her right hand, looked at her slender fingers, and laughed lowly, "Because I am the strongest, everything I do is right, and even if I am wrong, I am right. …”
"Needless to say." Pei Qingzhi grabbed her hand, pulled it down and put it in his palm, and looked at her seriously, "You are fine."
"Ah..." Tang Xi scratched her face with her free other hand, suddenly a little at a loss.
She had heard too much flattery and praise in her previous life, including all the conceivable words in the world. However, when added together, it seemed that none of them sounded as good as the simplest and most simple words "you are fine".
"Well, I want to ask, are you... dating?" Han Zhen said suddenly.
Pei Qingzhi turned to look at Tang Xi, as if giving her the right to choose.
"Yes." Tang Xi smiled and shook the hands they held together, with a graceful attitude.
"Very good. Congratulations." Han Zhen also smiled a little, "Although I have experienced too much, but everyone is living well, that's the best."
"Thank you." Tang Xi said.
"At the engagement banquet, invitations will be delivered to the Han family." Pei Qingzhi said.
"I'm looking forward to it." Han Zhen nodded, and then said, "I agree to what you said. If you confirm the time, please let me know."
"Well, it's just these few days, but don't be too nervous." Tang Xi said.
"I'm not nervous." Han Zhen stood up, walked a few steps, and then raised an eyebrow at her, "You are very strong, aren't you?"
Tang Xi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and waved.
The hero of the original book really has his charm. After a few years, the past will be diluted by time, maybe they can be ordinary friends.
"Han Zhen is quite courageous, and his mental quality is quite good." Pei Qingzhi said.
"Are you jealous again?" Tang Xi nodded his cheek, and said again, "It's also because he has seen it in Luming Mountain, otherwise, it would be troublesome just to convince him of these things."
"Then where are you going next? What time did you make an appointment with Second Uncle Cheng?" Pei Qingzhi asked.
"Second Uncle Cheng said he booked a restaurant for lunch, let me see where it is." Tang Xi took out his phone.
However, at this moment, a phone call came in.
"Pet hospital?" Tang Xi frowned. It's only been more than an hour. Could it be that the cat's condition is very serious
"Miss Tang, if it's convenient, could I trouble you to come here right away? I found something incredible here." The female doctor's voice was hurried, obviously in shock.
"Okay, now." Tang Xi said immediately.
"Let's go." Pei Qingzhi said.
Soon, the two returned to the hospital again.
"Miss Tang." The female doctor still had an inconceivable look on her face, which was somewhat complicated, "We have done a full set of examinations for your cat, and although some results have yet to come out, it is basically confirmed that it is in good health. There's nothing wrong with that."
"Not sick?" Tang Xi was taken aback, and couldn't help raising her voice, "But its body temperature must be abnormally high."
"Yes, except for the high body temperature, it doesn't have any pathological changes." The female doctor said helplessly, "Its body temperature rises, which is most likely not caused by illness. But these are not important, the most important thing is that I measured its bone age , wanting to confirm its age specifically, but unexpectedly, the result is too shocking!"
"How old is it?" Tang Xi asked subconsciously.
"The bone age shows that it is 38 years old!" The female doctor almost shouted.
"How old is it?" Tang Xi asked.
"I know this is incredible, so I tested it with two other cats and confirmed that there is no problem with the instrument." The female doctor smiled bitterly, "Miss Tang, you should know that the lifespan of an ordinary cat is about 12 years. Care, or it can be extended to 15-20 years, but for a 38-year-old cat, this is really breaking the limit."
Tang Xi stared blankly at the white cat sleeping in the incubator, her face full of capital letters.
"I heard before that there was a cat in the UK who lived to be 35 years old, and it was on the news." The female doctor continued, "But let's not say that this is an extremely rare case, and the old cat and young adult cat who are nearing the end of life It can be seen at a glance that regardless of the strength of the bones, the strength of the teeth, and other aspects, your pet is in the peak state of a cat, and if there are no illnesses or accidents, it can live for a long time."
"..." Tang Xi and Pei Qingzhi looked at each other.
After a long time, it was still Pei Qingzhi who asked, "Do you want... do it again at another hospital?"
"It's the same if you do it again." Seeing him questioning her diagnosis, the female doctor said with some dissatisfaction, "The pet hospitals in Jiangnan City all use this type of equipment. As long as the equipment is not broken, the results will be the same after several tests!"
"We don't believe it, but...it's too unexpected, and it takes a little time to digest." Tang Xi said.
The female doctor breathed a sigh of relief, and said again: "Miss Tang, whether your cat has really lived to be 38 years old, or it showed the bone age of 38 years old when it was young, this situation may be unique. I suggest Send it to the institute…”
"No need!" Tang Xi immediately interrupted, "I just need to know that it is not sick, it is my family, so I won't let you study it as a guinea pig."
"I'm just making a suggestion." The female doctor smiled shyly.
"Since it's not sick, I'll take it home." Tang Xi said decisively, "I'll get the rest of the test results tomorrow. If you have any questions, please call me."
"Okay." Although the female doctor was a little reluctant, she couldn't refuse.
Tang Xi carefully carried the white cat out.
"Meow~" The white cat rubbed its head against her face, grabbed her sleeves with its two front paws, and quietly huddled in her arms.
Pei Qingzhi went to pay the fee, took a pile of reports, and went out with her.
Tang Xi sat on the co-pilot holding the white cat, holding the phone in one hand, frowning and said, "Second Uncle Cheng has a text message... Tsk, it's too late to send the little guy home first, the direction is the opposite."
"Then take it with you." Pei Qingzhi started the car, and said nonchalantly, "Look at it, it's quite obedient. It's fine to take a cushion in the box to let it sleep."
"It's true." Tang Xi immediately stopped being entangled, stroked the cat's soft fur, and muttered, "I used the soul exchange technique before, and it was only between people. This time, shouldn't... something go wrong?"
"Humans and animals?" Pei Qingzhi was stunned.
"Didn't you say yesterday that you caught that bastard and made him a dog?" Tang Xi looked at him in surprise.
"So, you have already been treated as a cat?" Pei Qingzhi couldn't laugh or cry.
"I feel the same way." Tang Xi said.
"So, we are really a good match." Pei Qingzhi laughed.
"Yes, Pei and I are always a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven." Tang Xi agreed casually.
"How do I feel..." Pei Qingzhi swallowed halfway through her words.
"Thick-skinned?" Tang Xi disapproved, "Aren't you a boyfriend? You don't need that kind of thing."
"Yes, girlfriend." Pei Qingzhi took advantage of the red light and leaned over to kiss her quickly.
"Meow!" The white cat, which was crushed a bit, waved its paw.
Tang Xi was taken aback for a moment, before she sank in embarrassment, replaced by a gleeful laugh.
