Chapter 042 Not a Water Ghost

Zhuang Kangyu was a little dissatisfied when he heard Jiang Yiqing praise the koi in Xu Kaida's house. He walked closer to see that the koi in the pond were all plump and not afraid of people. They even came over to ask for fish food, looking very cute.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, the koi in this pond were really well raised.

Xu Kaida didn't have time to care about the koi. He was anxious! This Master Jiang looked quite young. When he saw him just now, he was a little suspicious. He felt that he was so young and didn't know if he could be trusted.

But since everyone was here, he couldn't just say it directly. He could only suppress his doubts. As a result, after looking around, Master Jiang not only didn't see anything, but also talked about the fish he raised at home.

What's so good about a group of chubby fish?

Xu Kaida couldn't help but cough lightly, and secretly reminded: "Master Jiang, this water ghost... won't be in this pond?"

Xu Kaida knew that it was definitely not in this pond. He was secretly reminding Jiang Yiqing not to forget his mission, to catch ghosts!

If this ghost couldn't be caught, Xu Kaida would not dare to stay in this manor at night.

If Jiang Yiqing hadn't come today, he would have lived somewhere else long ago.

Jiang Yiqing understood what Xu Kaida meant. He smiled and looked at the messy pool water: "Mr. Xu, there is no water ghost in your house."

"No water ghost? How is that possible!" Xu Kaida was a little unconvinced, and then began to prove his own statement: "Look, there are a lot of water stains in my room every night for no reason, and my wife and I's faces are not only swollen, but also sticky. It must be the work of a water ghost!"

Jiang Yiqing held his forehead and felt that he could not continue to let Xu Kaida die. He coughed lightly: "Let's go somewhere else to talk."

Xu Kaida was just a little suspicious just now, but now he really felt that Jiang Yiqing might not have any real ability. Look, he changed the subject.

He wanted to say something, but Mrs. Xu pinched his waist, and the words on his lips were forcibly held back.

He looked at Mrs. Xu with dissatisfaction: What are you doing!

Mrs. Xu glared at him and whispered: "I think you know more than Master Jiang? Why don't you go catch ghosts!"

Xu Kaida: "..."

He had to shut up. Forget it, let's see first. If it can't be solved, he will find someone else. If he can't find anyone... At worst, he can just move away! Can't you hide from

me if you can't afford to offend me?

"There is no evil spirit in this manor, I'm sure of that." Jiang Yiqing took a sip of tea and said, "There is a faint spiritual energy, not from a ghost, but from a spiritual thing."

Zhuang Kangyu listened and understood, "Master Jiang, do you mean that this thing in their house is a good thing?"

Seeing Jiang Yiqing nod, Zhuang Kangyu knew his ability and naturally had no doubts. He immediately looked at Xu Kaida with jealousy and couldn't help but said sourly, "How come you get all the good things?"

Xu Kaida was shocked. Seeing his mortal enemy, his IQ continued to drop. He felt that the two were mocking him in unison: "Good stuff? Do you want this good stuff?"

Zhuang Kangyu's eyes lit up, and he secretly set a trap for him: "I want it, will you really give it to me?"

Xu Kaida did not hesitate: "Really... No, why should I give it to you!"

At the critical moment, he reacted, not because he believed it was a "good thing", but because he saw Zhuang Kangyu's positive attitude, whether it was a good thing or not, he would not give it!

Zhuang Kangyu saw that his routine did not work, and he sighed with regret.

Xu Kaida, this stupid man, suddenly reacted, who can you go to for reason.

"It will definitely appear again tonight. Whether it is good or bad, we will naturally find out then." Jiang Yiqing saw that Xu Kaida didn't believe him, but he was not unhappy.

Xu Kaida touched his face, and Zhuang Kangyu took the opportunity to laugh: "Mr. Xu, you are not scared, are you?"

Xu Kaida: "Get lost! When have I ever been scared!"

He was just worried that Jiang Yiqing would not catch that thing by then, and he would get beaten for nothing.

Humph, if that's the case, then he will never let them go!

This "them", of course, includes Zhuang Kangyu.

Since it was decided to watch it at night, no matter what, Jiang Yiqing and Zhuang Kangyu must be arranged a room.

Even though Xu Kaida was very reluctant to let Zhuang Kangyu live in his house, it was a courtesy and there was nothing he could do.

Humph, when the time comes, we must disinfect the room where Zhuang Kangyu lives!

Zhuang Kangyu didn't know what he was thinking, and happily moved into the room assigned to him. After all, there weren't many opportunities like this.

Jiang Yiqing wasn't as idle as Zhuang Kangyu, and he had to tell him something: "I'll be guarding next door, but you can't be too close, otherwise it will notice you, and you have to find a way to delay it a little."

Xu Kaida thought, if it's really a water ghost, what's the point of delaying it? How can I delay it? Oh, he's fatter, so the water ghost can eat more.

Jiang Yiqing gave Xu Kaida and Mrs. Xu a few pieces of talisman paper each, and told them to take them out if they felt something was wrong.

"However, according to what you said before, it must have hypnotized people before it appeared." Otherwise, it would be impossible for both of them to not wake up even though their faces were swollen. Jiang Yiqing said, "It is difficult for people with weak willpower to wake up in this situation. I will make a small formation. When it appears, it will be triggered."

Since Jiang Yiqing has taken action, it is impossible to let it slip away.

When Xu Kaida heard his words, he immediately said confidently, "My willpower has been strong since I was a child."

Then he said to Mrs. Xu, "Don't worry, I will protect you when the time comes!"

Mrs. Xu ignored him and put away the talismans carefully.

Xu Kaida was very dissatisfied when he saw this, and came over to ask: "Why, you don't believe me?"

Mrs. Xu smiled perfunctorily: "No, it's not true."

Xu Kaida glanced at Jiang Yiqing who was busy setting up the battle array, and decided to prove himself tonight. If his will was not firm, how could he go from a poor boy in the countryside to the boss Xu in the eyes of others? After

setting up the battle array, the Xu residence was the same as before, and on the surface, there seemed to be no difference.

Although Xu Kaida was not a nose or eyes to Zhuang Kangyu, there was no problem with the etiquette of hospitality.

After eating a sumptuous dinner, they went back to their rooms. Jiang Yiqing sat on a chair, bored, and found an ancient book from somewhere to read.

After reading less than a page, he closed it silently.

Well, this is one of the few things the old man left for him. The content is obscure and difficult to understand. Every time Jiang Yiqing reads it for a while, he wants to go to sleep. He

thought that after so long, he should have made some progress. Now it seems that he has been overthinking. It is still the same as before, no more, no less.

This book is obviously not readable. It will be very embarrassing if he falls asleep.

He simply took out his mobile phone and found something interesting to read.

On the other side, in the master bedroom of the Xu family, Xu Kaida was fidgeting. He looked at the documents for a while, then at his mobile phone, and then at Mrs. Xu again.

Mrs. Xu frowned unbearably: "Do you have a thorn on your butt?"

Xu Kaida coughed lightly: "I'm just thinking, tonight cough cough..."

He stopped talking halfway, afraid that the thing would hear it, so he frowned at Mrs. Xu crazily.

Xu Kaida is now in his fifties. Compared to Zhuang Kangyu, his hair is quite thick. Because of this, every time he faces Zhuang Kangyu, he feels an indescribable pride.

Humph, look at Zhuang Kangyu's bald head. He looks at least ten years older than him. He is different. His hair is black and thick. He looks ten years younger than his actual age, right?

However, Xu Kaida also has a pain that middle-aged men cannot avoid. That is, he is very fat. Not only does he have a beer belly, but his whole body is particularly round.

Compared to him making such an expression, he looks particularly greasy.

Mrs. Xu couldn't stand it anymore, so she stood up and said, "Go to bed."

"Go to bed so early." Xu Kaida coughed lightly and looked towards the door meaningfully.

Mrs. Xu ignored him and just lay on the bed with her eyes closed. Seeing this, Xu Kaida could only lie down beside him, thinking that his wife was too unreliable and still wanted to sleep.

It seemed that he could only rely on himself. Xu Kaida held the talisman paper given by Jiang Yiqing on his chest with one hand, and was alert in his heart.

After a while, his breathing became smooth.

Mrs. Xu saw that he had not spoken for a long time, so she called his name softly a few times, and then... there was no movement at all.

Mrs. Xu: "..."

Just as she was speechless, she felt sleepy suddenly. Mrs. Xu's eyelids twitched and she felt something was wrong. She usually had to lie down for a long time before falling asleep. How could she fall asleep so quickly today?

She thought of what Jiang Yiqing said that the thing would make them fall asleep first... Madam Xu was so sleepy that she was about to lose consciousness. With her last bit of willpower, she tightly grasped the talisman paper in her arms with her fingers. Suddenly, she felt a coolness on her temples, and she became much more awake in an instant.

Madam Xu exhaled, but did not dare to open her eyes, and continued to pretend that she was asleep.

Sure enough, not long after, there was a sound of water in the room. Her nervous hands and feet were sweating, and her fingers grasped the talisman paper even tighter.

At the same time, Jiang Yiqing felt that the formation was triggered, and immediately got up and left the room.

Zhuang Kangyu was arranged by the Xu family to live next door. Although he ran over to see Xu Kaida's jokes and acted not afraid at all, he was actually quite scared when he was alone.

So he didn't dare to sleep at all. He tilted his ears and listened carefully to the noise outside. When he heard the door next door ring, he ran out immediately and saw Jiang Yiqing.

"Master Jiang, I'll go with you!" Zhuang Kangyu said in a low voice.

Jiang Yiqing raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you scared?"

Zhuang Kangyu knew that he couldn't sleep in the room because he was tossing and turning. He was afraid that Jiang Yiqing heard the noise. His old face flushed and he coughed lightly: "I'm more scared in the room alone."

Jiang Yiqing didn't have time to talk to him more. After all, it wasn't a dangerous thing. Since Zhuang Kangyu wanted to follow , then let him follow.

Seeing that he didn't refuse, Zhuang Kangyu hurriedly followed.

In the master bedroom, Mrs. Xu heard the sound of water getting closer and closer, and her eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

She even felt that when the thing moved, water splashed on her face. The sound of water, accompanied by the sound of something hitting the ground, slowly moved, and then got closer and closer...

Then, a "crackling" sound rang in her ears. Mrs. Xu heard that the sound was very close, as if it was hitting Xu Kaida's face.

As if there was a big grudge, the slapping was particularly strong.

Mrs. Xu was so scared that she secretly swallowed her saliva, and then she felt that the thing seemed to accidentally hit her. She instantly felt a wet and sticky touch on her face, which was cold and wet, and made people shudder.

Mrs. Xu couldn't stand it anymore. She found the right time and took out the talisman paper from her arms. She felt the hand holding the talisman paper get hot, and a strange scream came from the side.

"You cunning humans, I hate you..." A voice like a child came, with a crying tone, breaking the terrifying atmosphere.

Mrs. Xu mustered up the courage to open her eyes and found a golden koi lying not far away. She opened her eyes wide, and it turned out that it was not a water ghost!

But why does this fish look so familiar? !

The golden fish saw that Mrs. Xu was looking at it, and it shouted even louder, and glared at Mrs. Xu angrily - yes, the fish can actually glare at people! After glaring at Mrs. Xu, it flapped its tail and wanted to leave the room.

However, the next moment, it didn't know what triggered it, and the whole fish was wrapped in a ball made of water. The originally dry fish scales were wetted by the water, and it felt much more comfortable instantly. However, it found that no matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't escape.

"Let me go, let me go!" The koi fish shook its tail hard, but found that it was useless.

The next moment, it found that two more people came into the room. It

felt a dangerous aura from the young and good-looking man. This strange water ball must have been made by this man.

Kim Jin-li, who was about to curse, suddenly lost his temper and looked at Jiang Yiqing pitifully: "Boss, please let me go, I really didn't do anything..."

Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Kangyu, who "cared" about Xu Kaida, jumped out and went to the side of Xu Kaida who was still sleeping. Looking at the other's face that had just been swollen from being slapped, he couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hahaha, my God, how could Xu Kaida be beaten into a pig head, and he didn't even wake up, hahaha, it's so funny."

Kim Jin-li, pretending to be innocent, looked into Jiang Yiqing's eyes and shrank with guilt.

Mrs. Xu saved her husband's face and explained for him: "He didn't fall asleep, he was hypnotized."

Jin Jinyu felt even more guilty and looked at Jiang Yiqing pitifully.

Jiang Yiqing raised his eyebrows: "Wake him up first."

How dare the koi carp disobey? It did as it was told. It flicked its tail and a stream of water splashed directly onto Xu Kaida's face. It innocently raised its fins and said, "I have no other choice. I'll wake up after being splashed with cold water."

Jiang Yiqing's mouth twitched. He suspected that the koi carp did it on purpose. He had evidence.

He didn't know how Xu Kaida had offended it.

Zhuang Kangyu looked at the wicked Xu Kaida and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Hahaha, it's so funny. It's worth it for him to see all this excitement today!

Xu Kaida woke up after being splashed with cold water. He subconsciously wiped his face. The fishy water on his face and the pain in his cheeks made him frown. He was still thinking about something. He asked subconsciously before he opened his eyes: "What... did you catch the water ghost?" It

would have been better if he didn't say anything. As soon as he started talking, Jin Jinyu couldn't help but shouted: "You are the water ghost, your whole family is water ghosts!"

Xu Kaida opened his eyes and saw the fish trapped in the water ball. He almost thought he was dreaming.

"What...what's going on?" Xu Kaida looked at Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu explained the current situation to him in a low voice, and Jiang Yiqing looked at Jin Jinli with a frown on his face, looking particularly serious: "Tell me, why did you play such a trick on them?"

Jin Jinli felt that he was innocent, and couldn't help but retort: ​​"I didn't play a trick on them on purpose, I'm not that free! It was them who invited me home, but treated me badly, and put me together with those uncivilized stinky fish. It's so annoying! I just taught them a lesson!"

Xu Kaida figured out the situation. He was still afraid of water ghosts, but now he knew it was just a fish. Although this fish was not quite right, he became much braver and retorted dissatisfiedly: "You are also a fish. Is there any problem with me putting you together with those fish?"

"I'm not an ordinary fish, I'm a guardian deity with spiritual intelligence!" Jin Jinli was unhappy.

If it hadn't been invited home by this family and had signed a contract that couldn't be easily violated, how could it still stay here!

"Guardian deity?" Jiang Yiqing touched his chin: "If I remember correctly, aren't the guardian deities the five great deities?"

The five great deities are: fox fairy, yellow fairy, white fairy, also known as hedgehog, willow fairy, also known as snake, and finally the gray fairy, mouse.

I just haven't heard of how Jin Li can be a guardian deity.

"Times are progressing. I am just a unique koi carp. Is that not okay?" The golden koi carp said dissatisfiedly, "Who knew I would be so unlucky and become the guardian deity of this family!"

It's no wonder that the golden koi carp is so unhappy. Guardian deities are supposed to be worshipped. Who knew that it, the guardian deity, would be so miserable. It was kept in the pond with a group of ordinary koi carps and had to compete with them for food!

It's too miserable. Jiang Yiqing couldn't say anything to blame for a while.

Moreover, the golden koi carp spoke like a child, which made it even more pitiful.

Zhuang Kangyu didn't expect Xu Kaida to be so lucky that he actually invited the guardian deity. However, this guy was blind and made the guardian deity angry. He looked at Xu Kaida with a scornful look and muttered: "If it were me, I would definitely worship him!"

Xu Kaida felt guilty when he was looked at with scornful eyes. He defended himself unconvincedly: "How can I know that it is not an ordinary koi?"

In fact, he did invite the golden koi back.

No, he thought he bought a beautiful fish at that time.

On his way home that day, he passed by a small alley and saw a child holding a fish tank in his arms. In the fish tank, there was a golden koi lying. The fish tail shone with golden light in the sun, which was particularly beautiful.

Xu Kaida was inexplicably attracted, walked over, and asked the child if he would sell the koi.

The child looked at Xu Kaida, shook his head, and said he was not selling, but inviting.

Xu Kaida thought the child was being weird, but he couldn't argue with a child, so he simply changed his words and said "invite". The child was satisfied with this, and asked what he needed to prepare for the koi.

Xu Kaida felt troubled and asked if he could pay for it. The child wrinkled his nose in dissatisfaction and said no, he had to have those things.

There was no way, he really liked this koi, he raised a group of koi in his farm, and they were all chubby, you can imagine how much he liked it.

Look at this koi, although the scales are particularly beautiful, but it is skinny and looks a bit pitiful, he must take it back.

Xu Kaida thought so, and didn't think it was a hassle, and bought all the things according to the child's request.

The child kept his word and gave the koi to Xu Kaida, and also told him a lot of things, but Xu Kaida didn't take it to heart, thinking that it was just the kid's nonsense, maybe he was playing cosplay, if he believed it, what's the difference between him and a fool?

After bringing the koi back home, Xu Kaida also thought about whether to raise it alone. After all, the fish was skinny. If he threw it into the pond, it would be bullied by the group of fat koi.

Finally, he thought, it would be so lonely to raise such a fish alone, so he put it into the pond.

Not long after, Xu Kaida put the matter behind him, but how could the koi be in a good mood after being treated like this? So he hypnotized Xu Kaida and beat him up every day.

Oh, Mrs. Xu was just unlucky. She slept with Xu Kaida, so he beat her up.

He was kind-hearted. If he met such a powerful guardian deity, he would disturb the Xu family's house!

Xu Kaida felt guilty and covered his face, saying, "You should have reminded me at least."

If he knew that this was not an ordinary koi, he would not have dared to treat it like that.

"Well, now that we have figured it out, Boss Xu, why don't you hold a new ceremony and invite it back?" Jiang Yiqing saw that the koi had no intention of leaving, so he spoke up.

It is definitely a good thing to have a guardian deity at home, especially for businessmen like them. Xu Kaida naturally could not refuse.

Zhuang Kangyu, who was watching the excitement, felt that he had become a little clown. He was obviously here to see the joke, but who knew that Xu Kaida's family would have such an opportunity!

His own failure was sad, but the success of his mortal enemy was even more difficult to accept!

In any case, Xu Kaida completed the ceremony respectfully this time, and was ready to arrange for people to build a huge pond just for Jin Jinli as requested by Jin Jinli. Jin Jinli was satisfied.

Xu Kaida covered his swollen face and felt that he had turned a disaster into a blessing. He looked at Jiang Yiqing again and remembered that he thought he had no real ability yesterday. He was immediately ashamed. Fortunately, Master Jiang did not bear grudges and did not intend to make a fuss with him.

"Master Jiang, you have worked hard. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality today. Tomorrow I will ask the chef in the manor to treat you well." Xu Kaida took the opportunity to express his attitude. He was not stupid. Jiang Yiqing had real skills, so he naturally had to work hard to make friends with him.

Jiang Yiqing knew what he was thinking and nodded politely, but he didn't say much. It was already midnight. If it wasn't for maintaining his master's demeanor, he would have yawned like crazy.

So sleepy, so sleepyoO

Fortunately, Xu Kaida was still very knowledgeable about the ways of the world, and quickly arranged for Jiang Yiqing to go to rest.

As for Zhuang Kangyu... Xu Kaida was in a good mood now. He walked over with a smile, patted his shoulder without caring about his frown, and said, "Hey, Zhuang, thank you so much this time! Don't leave tomorrow, taste the cooking of my chef!"

Zhuang Kangyu: "... Humph!"

On the other side, Mei Qian used a lot of connections and finally got to know a noble lady who had a good relationship with Mrs. Xu. The lady agreed to help her contact Mrs. Xu. Mei Qian

naturally said some words of thanks with a smile. Zhou Ding originally learned from the lawyer that Mei Qian deliberately went to see Jiang Yiqing in advance to question her.

As a result, he learned that Mei Qian had contacted Mrs. Xu, and he instantly didn't care about this little thing.

Forget it, it's not important. He has to prepare how to talk to Xu Kaida when the time comes. This cooperation must be concluded.
