messy hair
After Lu Yu arranged his work, he came to thank a few people and added them on WeChat, wanting to treat them to a meal.
"By the way, where is the old woman?" Ye Jing'an remembered that after the three of them came out, they had been guarding the cave entrance, but no one came out.
"What old woman?" Lu Yu asked.
"Ah, it's okay. Can I go in and take a look?" Ye Jing'an pointed to the cave.
Lu Yu nodded and said, "Okay."
Ye Jingan ran in, but didn't see the old woman. There was no trace of the old woman's ghostly aura around him, as if she had vanished into thin air. Ye Jingan was afraid that something was wrong here, so he quietly told Brother Liu about it.
"I saw her leave. I guess she went to seek revenge on the person who killed her son." Liu Muzhe felt strange when he mentioned someone of unknown origin. Why was there no Yin Qi after killing so many people? Could it be that all the Yin Qi was eaten by this weirdo, or was it collected and used for something else?
How did this person know about the one who was punished by Heaven? The last generation of the Ye family had suffered a heavenly tribulation at least hundreds of years ago, so this strange person must be at least hundreds of years old. So what kind of ghost had he offended that he was still pursuing the debt? Was the one who was punished by Heaven referring to him, or Ye Jing'an?
All kinds of uneasiness surged in his heart, and Liu Muzhe took a deep breath.
"Brother Liu, what are you thinking about?" Ye Jing'an waved his hand in front of him.
"It's okay, let's go back." Liu Muzhe said.
"Hey, wait..." Lu Yu stopped a few people and opened and closed his mouth.
"Officer Lu, is there something wrong?" Liu Muzhe asked.
"Hmm... do you know how to catch ghosts or communicate with them?" He seemed to think his question was absurd and presumptuous. He smiled awkwardly and added, "I just saw you were carrying swords, so I asked out of curiosity."
"If Officer Lu encounters any difficult problems, he can ask us for help," said Liu Muzhe.
"Thank you!" Lu Yu said gratefully.
Back at the hotel, Liu Muze, worried, decided to give Ye Jing'an another fortune-telling. His master couldn't tell fortunes, so naturally, he couldn't either. Ye Chenyi did know how to tell fortunes, but he was afraid that if he taught him fortune-telling, he would end up predicting his own death, so he refused to teach him no matter what. Later, Liu Muze stumbled upon a book called "Tian Xing Zhan" and, after studying it for a while, he was able to tell fortunes.
The hexagram shows that Ye Jingan has passed the critical period of death and nothing will happen to him. Instead, he is lucky in love.
"The one who was punished that day was talking about me." Liu Muze breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Ye Jing'an was fine, it was fine. Liu Muze frowned imperceptibly as he thought about it, and murmured softly: "His calamity is over, should I leave too?"
The thought of leaving made him feel empty inside. He had long been accustomed to living with these two children. Although they were a bit noisy, it was also fun. The two children seemed to treat him like an older brother, calling him wherever they went to eat, drink and have fun, and habitually relying on him for everything.
But they would eventually have to live their own lives, and separation was inevitable. By then, he would no longer be able to protect the two children all the time. They would have to be able to protect themselves, and he would have to separate them so they could learn to cope on their own.
So how and why should you leave?
Liu Muze couldn't stand the sight of people crying and shouting at parting. Ye Jingan knew that he was soft-hearted and not hard-hearted, so he might really try this trick. Liu Muze lowered his eyes. Could they really be reluctant to let him go?
The scene of Ye Jing'an and Ye Qiuzimu smiling and waving goodbye to him emerged in Liu Muzhe's mind.
That's right. These two kids, just entering puberty, are undoubtedly curious about the outside world. They'll meet a lot of people and make a lot of friends. He's just a passing guest in their lives, and the time they've spent together isn't even as long as it was with their middle and high school classmates. I haven't seen them cry or wail after parting with that high school classmate; they're all just smiling and saying goodbye. And what's more, he's a stranger they've only known for less than six months...
He didn't sleep all night and found Ye Jingan the next day.
"Brother Liu, good morning!" Ye Jing'an was in a good mood. He took off the jade buckle that Ye Zhuoran had given him, leaving only the pink chalcedony.
"Good morning, I have something to tell you. I..." Liu Muzhe looked at the pink chalcedony, and the excuse he had prepared for leaving was stuck in his lips but he couldn't say it out.
"Brother Liu, what are you going to say?" Ye Jing'an felt a little panicked when he saw Liu Muze's complicated expression. He was afraid that Brother Liu was going to say he was leaving. After all, the chalcedony on his chest looked like a parting gift, even though Brother Liu was just borrowing it from him.
"I want to remind you that there may be danger recently, so be careful." Liu Muzhe pursed his lips and forced a smile.
Ye Jingan hummed lightly.
"Have a good rest." Liu Muzhe walked back to the room.
"Brother Liu, you..." Ye Jing'an called him, but suddenly his throat tightened and the words were stuck in his throat.
Liu Muzhe turned his head and asked him if there was anything else.
"It's nothing, Brother Liu...your hair is messy." Ye Jing'an smiled.
Liu Muze touched his hair. It was freshly combed, so it wasn't messy. He hummed and turned to go back to the room. When the door was about to close, Ye Jingan held it open.
"You still..." Before he could finish his words, Liu Muzhe was hugged by Ye Jing'an.
"Brother Liu, please don't go." Ye Jing'an forced out a tone in his throat and whispered in his ear.
Liu Muze felt a pang of pain in his heart. He wondered how this kid could see through it. Sometimes he really suspected that Ye Jingan had secretly learned the secret technique of prying into other people's inner thoughts. He gently patted Ye Jingan on the back and said, "I'm not going to leave. You're so old, why do you still like hugging people like a child? Let go."
"How do you know that I liked to hug people when I was a child?" Ye Jing'an asked.
"I can calculate." Liu Muzhe said with a smile.
"Yes, I'm still a child, please take care of me." Ye Jing'an said.
"Okay." Liu Muzhe's thin lips curled up slightly.
Ye Jingan chuckled and pulled him to have breakfast.
Liu Muze thought, forget it, I'll just wait until Ye Jing'an finds out his identity before leaving. By then, when he knows he's the ancestor of the Ye family, he won't just treat him like a friend like he does now.
He raised an eyebrow, somewhat curious about Ye Jing'an's expression when he found out about his ancestor's identity. The person he had flirted with, pulled, and even molested all day long was actually his own ancestor, whom he kowtowed to and worshipped, and treated with delicious food and drink.
Liu Muzhe imagined Ye Jing'an apologizing to him with a sad face, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"What are you laughing at?" Ye Jing'an glanced at his malicious smile and felt a little uneasy.
"You forgot to call Qiu Zimu. It's funny to think about how he beat you." Liu Muzhe's smile deepened.
"It's good that we didn't beat him up." Ye Jing'an went back and called him while cursing.
After breakfast, Ye Jingan returned to his room and carefully examined the pendant that Brother Liu had given him. When he saw the white light again, the same feeling in his heart reappeared, but it was not as strong as yesterday.
"Brother Liu seemed to say that this was a gift from the brother he liked..." Ye Jing'an's heart and mind were very confused now. It seemed that he had forgotten something important, but he couldn't remember it. He wanted to sort things out but didn't know where to start.
"Brother Liu must be hiding something from me." Ye Jing'an ran to question Liu Muze. Every question he asked was brushed off with various excuses, and everything Brother Liu said made sense, as if he was indeed overthinking it.
"No! You like him so much, why are you willing to let me wear the things he gave you?" Ye Jing'an didn't understand. For him, he would never give away things given by someone he liked, even if he was about to be killed by that person.
"Didn't I tell you yesterday that the things in here can protect you?" Liu Muzhe said helplessly.
"I'm just an ordinary friend you've known for a few months, a fake brother at most. Why would you do this for me?" Ye Jing'an said loudly.
He finally discovered the source of his inner turmoil: Brother Liu was too nice to him. But Brother Liu didn't like him, and it was wrong to be so nice to someone he didn't like.
"Your Ye family has done me a favor, so I am willing to be nice to you." Liu Muzhe sighed. This kid is becoming more and more difficult to fool.
This explanation made sense. Ye Jingan asked, "What's that?"
"Saved my life." Liu Muzhe said.
"Is it my dad?" Ye Jing'an asked.
Liu Muzhe smiled but said nothing.
It seemed to make sense, and the purple gold sand Brother Liu had given him was also something his father liked. But why was he still so confused? What was wrong?
Seeing Ye Jing'an still in a daze, Liu Muze called out softly, "Don't think about it. I won't hurt you anyway."
"I know, but..." Ye Jing'an was interrupted by Liu Muzhe.
"There's nothing to worry about. I've answered all the questions you asked. What else can you say? Let's go eat." He pushed Ye Jing'an out of the room.
Ye Jingan consoled himself that he was worried because he liked Brother Liu. Indeed, his mood had changed a lot because of Brother Liu during this period, so Ye Jingan stopped dwelling on it.
In the middle of the meal, a strange phone call came in: "Hello, is this Liu Muze?"
"Yes." Liu Muzhe found the voice very familiar.
"I'm Lu Yu, I'm in trouble and I'd like to ask for your help..."
"You go ahead." Liu Muzhe turned on the speakerphone so that both of them could listen together.
Lu Yu briefly explained over the phone a missing person case that happened a month ago. Four college students from the same dorm went on an adventure during their vacation and disappeared. An investigation revealed they were headed to Misty Ridge. Later, when a search and rescue team arrived, two members of the rescue team also disappeared. There's no clue left.
"Uh...how can we help you?" Ye Jing'an asked him. It sounded like he wanted the three of them to be human police dogs and carry out search and rescue.
"Are you still at the Huaxin Hotel? I'll come to find you." Lu Yu sighed, and arrived ten minutes after hanging up the phone.
Lu Yu wasn't wearing a police uniform; his casual jacket made him look years younger. He was pulling a suitcase with his right hand, holding a large travel bag with his right, carrying a schoolbag on his back, and slung a DSLR camera and a laptop over his shoulders. He looked like a refugee.
"Officer Lu, aren't you going to work today?" Ye Jing'an asked.
Lu Yu was silent for a moment: "I've been suspended."
