The ratio is 60%, thank you. "Most of you will disappear soon." Tang Xi said the first sentence.
All the ghosts looked at each other for a while, and after a long time, the old ghost dressed up as the oldest in the Republic of China said: "Most of the ghosts here are ordinary people with no obsessions. They would disappear after seven days at most. The seal on the gate was implicated and suppressed in this house, and it was connected with the luck of the seal, so that this will always exist. Now that the seal is broken, everyone will go to the place where they should go by dawn."
"Dissipate?" Tang Xi frowned, puzzled, "As far as I know, only ghosts who linger in the world and escape from evil spirits will dissipate. I don't think you have such a strong obsession. Why don't you Go to hell?"
"Hell?" The old ghost smiled wryly, and said helplessly, "I can't go there. Something happened to Hell one hundred and fifty years ago, and the gate of hell was closed and never opened again. The world and the underworld were completely separated. Two worlds that do not communicate with each other, ghosts from the underworld cannot come to the human world, and ghosts from the human world cannot go down to the underworld... This was told to me by an old ghost when I just died."
Tang Xi's expression remained unchanged, but her heart was filled with shock.
The ghost gate is closed! It turns out that this is the reason why the world is full of ghosts.
However, when asked why the ghost gate was closed, the old ghost couldn't explain why. Some other ghosts didn't even know the existence of the ghost gate. Ghosts are already very unscientific, but if you don't see black and white impermanence, you can always salvage the precarious three views a little bit. After all, most people here grew up with modern education.
"Forget it, let's talk about what happened in this house first, who made the seal?" Tang Xi simply brushed aside the question of the ghost gate.
"Let me tell." The headless female ghost came out, "I'm a housekeeper, I live at the end of the alley, and I've done cleaning for this house before, and I know their daughter-in-law very well."
Tang Xi nodded, motioning for her to continue.
The headless ghost sighed and told a clichéd story.
The old couple in this family are a bit patriarchal, but the daughter-in-law has gone to college and has disagreements. They live together, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been bad. The mother-in-law was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that the daughter-in-law gave birth to two daughters in a row. She said several times that she would give away the little granddaughter so that she could have another grandson. Of course the daughter-in-law disagreed. She quit her job and stayed at home with her daughter day and night, which took five or six years. The daughter-in-law thought that her daughter was growing up, but the mother-in-law finally gave up on this idea. Who would have thought that a mother-in-law who didn't care and had no legal knowledge... strangled the crying and annoying little granddaughter to death, and she justified her own child, It doesn't matter if you kill others! After the man returned home, although he felt sorry for his daughter, he couldn’t watch his wife send her mother to jail. The two husbands and wives had an argument, and the man accidentally pushed the woman down, and she died on the back of the wall-mounted TV. Was seen by the eldest daughter after school.
The eldest daughter, who was already a sophomore in high school, saw her mother lying in a pool of blood, but didn't realize it was her father's doing. She picked up her mobile phone and wanted to call 120, but the male owner thought she was going to call the police in a panic, and went forward to snatch the mobile phone. He knocked over the coffee table, and the fruit knife in the fruit plate accidentally killed his daughter by mistake.
Afterwards, the old couple helped their son hide the body, planning to go out to bury it in the middle of the night, and tell others that the daughter-in-law took her back to her natal home the next day. Unexpectedly, that night, the eldest daughter who turned into a ghost heard their discussion and knew Knowing the cause of death of his mother and younger sister, he was suddenly filled with resentment, and instinctively devoured countless lonely and wild ghosts nearby, turning them into fierce ghosts abruptly.
Tang Xi was stunned, no wonder the old couple and the hostess died half a day later than the mother and daughter, and the murderer has not been found yet, and it has become an unsolved case. How can the police, who are living people, investigate? After thinking about it, she asked again, "What about the seal at the door?"
"The one who stuck the seal is an old man, and he seems to have a lot of background. I've only seen that car on TV." The headless female ghost replied, "Since the seal is here, all nearby ghosts have been sucked in. Then you can't get out."
"Okay, I see." Tang Xi nodded. These ghosts don't know much, and they don't understand what happened when they saw it. She will have to ask herself in the future. Of course, with her current status, she might not be able to get in touch with people at that level, but it won't be long before her fame spreads, and people from that circle will naturally come to her, so don't worry.
It's just that other ghosts are easy to deal with, but the original owner of this house is a bit troublesome.
The souls of the old couple and the master have been torn to pieces by the eldest daughter, the mistress is locked in her mobile phone, and the most important little girl Yueyue... Although the elder sister wants to protect her, but for a long time Infected by resentment, if you can't go to the underworld immediately and wash away the resentment with the water of Wangchuan, it will dissipate at dawn.
However, the ghost gate was closed.
Rubbing between her brows, Tang Xi decided to put Yueyue's problem to the last place: "What about you? Is there any last wish left unfulfilled, let's hear it."
Maybe it's because after spending a while, the ghosts felt that this little girl was not afraid of them, and she wasn't that scary. If they were alive, they wouldn't be afraid of a little girl as old as their own granddaughter, so they immediately talked about it.
Tang Xi took a notebook and carefully wrote down each item.
These ghosts are basically ordinary people, and their wishes are all parents. Uncle Zhang wanted to take a look at his grandson who was not yet born when he died. Aunt Li wanted to tell her son that she had 5,000 yuan hidden in the interlayer of the bed. Grandma Wang missed it very much. The wife who left more than ten years ago wants her son to burn a photo of his wife so that she can take her on the road... zero and zero.
Tang Xi reckoned that it would take a weekend to finish all of them. Although these ghosts can't wait for that time, the things she promised, even if they are gone, will be done seriously.
Finally, the headless female ghost came over eagerly: "I, my business is a bit troublesome, can you really help me?"
"Tell me." Tang Xi turned the pen and said seriously, "You tell me, I'll think about whether I can do it. I may deceive people occasionally, but I never deceive ghosts."
"Actually... I, died quite unjustly." The headless female ghost showed her head, "Look, he was beheaded alive!"
"Hiss—" Tang Xi couldn't help gasping, and touched his neck. It seems to hurt a little.
"I came home from work that day. It was dark and I was very tired. In addition, the street lights in the alley were broken. I didn't see someone pulling a steel wire on the ground one meter high in the alley. The speed of the battery car was too high. Hurry up, before I can even react..."
"Stop it!" Tang Xi felt his neck go cold when he heard it. Is this equivalent to chopping off his own head? Too cruel!
"Do you want Ah Xi to help you avenge?" Yun Qi asked suddenly.
"Don't make trouble." Tang Xi rolled his eyes at him, "What time is it? For such a serious case, the method of committing the crime can't be said to be very sophisticated. The police must have found the culprit long ago."
"I found it." The headless female ghost cried, "It was a prank by the four punks from the vocational high school, because I saw them torture and kill stray animals and cursed a few times, so I wanted to pull a wire to make me fall, but I didn't expect to die. They Under the age of 18, the murderer was not intentional, and the head of the family was rich. Because there was no monitoring in the alley, one of them took all the responsibility. I died, and my husband was paralyzed in bed, my daughter was only in elementary school, but What about those little bastards? Not to mention paying for their lives, because it is 'negligent death', they will be released in a few years, and they can continue to live their own lives! The family who really did it would rather give a classmate a sum of money to let him Take the crime, and refuse to compensate my family for a penny! Am I going to die in vain? What will my husband and daughter do in the future?"
Tang Xi listened expressionlessly and sighed softly. No wonder this female ghost has such a deep obsession, she is one of the few ghosts that will not dissipate. However, why do vocational high school students who torture and kill animals sound so familiar? She frowned, took out her mobile phone and turned to the social news from the day before yesterday: High school student abused cat suspected of mental illness - this one is for the headless female ghost to read.
"It's him! It's him!" Although the boy's eyes in the photo were covered with a row of mosaics, the headless female ghost obviously had a deep memory of the murderer who killed her.
"I will take care of this matter, and I will help your family get the compensation." Tang Xi said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you..." The headless female ghost knelt on the ground, weeping uncontrollably.
All the ghosts surrounded him, and two old men comforted him softly.
At this moment, there was a screeching sound of motorcycle brakes outside the window.
Tang Xi walked to the window, saw the dazzling car lights outside the courtyard, smiled unconsciously, turned around and said: "I accept all your last wishes, as the last night of your existence in this world, let's have a carnival and help you by the way." How about a favor for me?"
"I will do whatever Miss asks me to do!" said the headless female ghost immediately.
"Yes, girl, what can we do for you?" All the ghosts asked eagerly.
"Several students will come in later, please show your true colors and scare them so that they don't study hard and think about dying all day long." Tang Xi's eyes smiled into crescent moons, and her tone was gentle and sweet.
For a long time, no ghost made a sound.
"Why, this doesn't work?" Tang Xi was surprised, "Didn't you scare me just now?"
"That..." the headless female ghost said cautiously, "Can we... really scare people?"
Tang Xi was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing, these ghosts were so shocked that they lost even their self-confidence.
"Don't worry, I'm unique," she said proudly.
Thinking about it, I finally fell asleep slowly, and slept until dusk.
A cute angel wall clock on the wall points to five o'clock.
Tang Xi stretched her waist, got up and looked through the closet, after a while she picked out the simplest white silk suspender dress, took a new underwear and went into the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes.
The face reflected in the mirror is almost like her, but because of the hard life, the skin is not so fair, and the long hair is also dull, but the foundation is good, and it will recover after a few months of care.
I looked at the clock when I came out, there was still half an hour.
Opening the window, she saw that her room was facing the courtyard. In an instant, the water ghost in the fountain, the wedding dress ghost on the swing, and the hanged ghost under the tree all looked up. Even the orange cat on the wall barked. One sound.
Tang Xi rubbed her chin, does this mean she knew I could see them? But even if it's cloudy today and there's no sun, you can see ghosts if you go crazy. This world is really strange!
Ordinary ghosts cannot leave the place of death too far, just like this water ghost, which obviously drowned in the fountain. However, the depth of the pool is less than an adult's knee. It is nothing more than drowning a child who cannot walk. How could it be an accident to drown such a big woman? I don't know if the Tang family knew that someone had drowned in their fountain - most likely they didn't know, otherwise the nanny wouldn't have taken the initiative to approach the fountain.
Just then, a stretched black car drove in and stopped in front of the main house.
Tang Xi didn't recognize those car logos, but only knew that it must be a very expensive car. She was dissatisfied that since the car could drive in, why did she walk in through the gate with such a heavy schoolbag on her back
As soon as the car door opened, two boys and girls in school uniform came down, laughing as they walked. The boy seemed to say something, which caused the girl to chase and beat him.
Tang Xi sneered. In the afternoon, she thought Tang Zhao was the cold type, but she was too lazy to smile at her.
After brushing her hair casually, she took out a form from her schoolbag, took it and went downstairs.
Still in the middle of the stairs, I heard the laughter below.
On the long dining table, exquisite dishes had already been set up. Tang Zhenying was sitting at the head, holding a tablet to read the report. The unlucky ghost on the shoulder seemed to be very curious, and leaned over to probe his brain. Tang Jingni chatted and laughed beside Yang Wenqiu, with an intimate look, and would argue with Tang Zhao who was opposite from time to time, and Tang Zhan would comfort his younger siblings with a smile at this time.
Looks like a very happy family.
Tang Xi blinked and walked over. Immediately, the laughter and laughter seemed like a tape with the pause button pressed, or like the background sound of a game that got stuck halfway, it was indescribably weird.
"Xixi rested? Hurry up and sit down and eat." Yang Wenqiu said quickly.
Tang Jing is also quietly looking at the extra sister.
A week ago, she was suddenly told that she was not the biological daughter of the Tang family, but was just hugged by mistake. At that time, her whole body was broken. She had been the eldest lady of the Tang family for sixteen years, and she was the one who was sought after no matter in school or in the upper class circle of Jiangnan City. She used sixteen years to make her I have become a pearl in the south of the Yangtze River. However, all of this is false, she is just a wild child who should grow up in the countryside, she is the one who occupies the magpie's nest, and what she has originally belonged to another girl's life.
Fortunately, after being together for sixteen years, they have deep feelings after all. She retreated to advance. After crying a few times, her parents treated her as before and never mentioned that they would send her back. The second brother even swore to her that, Only one of her sisters would never talk to the new bumpkin, which made her feel better.
Today is the day when Tang Xi goes home. When she saw it for the first time, Tang Jing almost thought that there was a mistake in the information.
Although the girl in front of me is a little thin and looks malnourished, she has a tall and straight figure, and every step of her steps seems to be measured accurately. The movement of pulling out the chair and sitting down is as smooth as flowing water, which is pleasing to the eye, and the sitting posture is also elegant and moving. Some people believed the daughter who came out. Who could tell that she grew up in the countryside and never took courses in etiquette or art
Tang Zhenying's face also softened a little. He was also afraid that this daughter would be spoiled, that she would not be able to get on the stage, and would embarrass the Tang family.
Tang Xi leaned forward a little, put the form in his hand in front of him, and said bluntly, "Please sign it."
"What?" Tang Zhenying was startled, took a look at it, and read, "Application form for living on campus? Do you want to live on campus? Why?"
"That's right, isn't it good to live at home? Or do you not like the room furnished by your mother?" Yang Wenqiu said hastily.
"It's too far away." Tang Xi interrupted directly.
"Too far?" Everyone present was stunned, that's it
"Sister Xixi, we have a car at home, and they will take us to school every morning." Tang Jing said softly, "You don't have to worry, you won't be late, the school dormitory is not as good as your family's conditions."
"I'm motion sick." Tang Xi said casually, and took a sip of the juice in front of her.
Well, freshly squeezed, the taste is okay, but the oranges are not as sweet as the ones grown on the mountain.
Tang Jing didn't speak, she had been chatted to death that day.
"Your school's dormitory is for two people, and the conditions are poor. How can I live in it?" Tang Zhenying put the form aside casually, "I remember that the Jinhuyuan Community is next to No. 1 High School. The environment is good, and the security is also good. Buy an apartment there for Xixi, if it is well-decorated, you can live in it right away.”
"..." Tang Xi twitched the corners of her mouth. At first she thought that this cheap dad was renting a house for her, and she thought it was good, but after hearing that, she actually bought it! This is buying a house. It’s like going to the supermarket to buy a toy, and you can play with it after unpacking it.
The rich man's world.
Tang Xi, who has read the book, knows very well that at this time, the conflict between her and Tang Jing has not intensified. After all, they are their biological daughters. Tang Zhenying and Yang Wenqiu are not without guilt and distress, but the way the couple express their guilt and distress It's also very consistent, one gives money, the other buys things, it seems that as long as you spend money on her, you won't feel sorry for her anymore. However, for the original owner, what she needs is not money, not clothes and jewellery, but the care of her parents and relatives, and in their neglect and eccentricity again and again, the original owner's original pure personality has been forcibly distorted.
At least Tang Xi thinks that a good eldest lady has lived through more than ten years of hard life for no reason, and is finally recognized home. Parents and brothers treat the girl who stole her life better than her, but they treat her coldly and dislike her everywhere. If it were her, she would also be blackened, who would still be the Virgin Mary.
"Dad, Mom, are you going to announce sister Xixi's identity at your wedding anniversary party this weekend?" Tang Jing asked cautiously, with a bit of pity and fear in her tone.
Tang Zhenying and Yang Wenqiu were both stunned. Suddenly there was such an older girl in the family, and it was impossible to hide it. They would definitely have to explain to their relatives and business partners, but if they told the truth, what would Tang Jing do? Tang Jing was also innocent when she held the wrong child back then. She has been their daughter for sixteen years and has been doted on since she was a child. How can she be willing to bear the strange eyes of others in the future
"How about... say yes, your niece? Isn't my uncle abroad?" Yang Wenqiu hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously.
Tang Zhenying frowned, but said nothing. Although his younger brother is abroad, he is not married. Everyone in the circle knows, where can such a big daughter come from
"Just say, I was adopted by the Tang family." Tang Xi raised her eyebrows.
"How can this work?" Yang Wenqiu retorted subconsciously.
Tang Xi curled her lips in disdain, is there a difference between an adopted daughter and a niece? Don't dare to say that she is their daughter, isn't it because she is afraid that Tang Jing will be wronged? It's obviously his own, but he always thinks about the foreign one. She picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth, and continued: "Anything is fine, except for one thing—my grandma, oh, is also Tang Jing's grandma. Although the family is poor, she is also a decent family. Don't let me hear about an illegitimate daughter." Rumors make her old man feel uneasy after death."
"How did you talk?" Tang Zhao slapped the table.
Tang Jing lowered her head, her small face turned pale, her fingers clutched her skirt, and she looked like she was going to cry or not.
"Why, did I say something wrong? Isn't that your grandma?" Tang Xi turned to look at Tang Jing with an innocent look on her face.
Tang Jing gritted her teeth, unable to answer. The paternity test has proved everything. It is one thing that the Tang family is willing to continue to raise her as a daughter, but if she denies the blood relationship, then it is safe to dislike the poor and love the rich.
"Okay." Tang Zhenying said unhappily, "Jingjing and Xixi were born in the same year, the same month, and the same day. Let's say you gave birth to twins back then. One was lost in the fire and was just found."
Of course, there are flaws in this statement, but sixteen years ago, all paperless offices had not been implemented. The fire burned down the entire obstetrics building, and many materials were missing. There were not many doctors and nurses left behind. The Tang family has the right to If you are powerful and rich, it is very easy to cheat.
"Whatever, I'm full." Tang Xi stood up nonchalantly and walked upstairs, "I'm going back to review my homework first."
"..." The Tang family stared dumbfounded at the seat where she had sat.
The rice bowl was empty, and there was still a pile of fishbone and sweet and sour pork ribs bones on the table. Did she put a zipper on her stomach and pour the rice into it after just such a short time
"Here." Cheng Yihang brought over two glasses of juice.
"Thank you." Tang Xi took a glass and walked to the corner with him.
After all, this is a hunting ground for adults, and no one took a second look at them who were obviously still students.
"Didn't you go to explore that haunted house with Shi Rui and the others?" Cheng Yihang leaned against the wall and asked with a smile.
"Isn't this blocked?" Tang Xi pouted, "Are you alone?"
"Yes." Cheng Yihang shrugged and said helplessly, "My parents have gone to Jiangbei to discuss business, and I can only represent it. I am not as free as Shi Rui. He has two older brothers, and I am the only child."
"So, do you have a car?" Tang Xi blinked and asked knowingly.
"Where are you going? I'll see you off." Cheng Yihang said really well.
"Wait for me." Tang Xi stuffed him the empty cup and ran upstairs happily.
