power failure
Ye Jingan rented the car and drove to the supermarket to buy something. He asked, "Why did you rent this? Is there something wrong?"
Liu Muzhe told him that there were good things in the car.
"What good stuff? Where is it?" Ye Jingan was a little excited. The good stuff that Brother Liu would be interested in should be treasures related to fighting ghosts and monsters, such as ghost beads and red jade.
"You'll know when the time comes." Liu Muzhe said with a dumb smile.
The car rental company was very close to the supermarket, and they arrived in a few minutes. The three of them bought a lot of things they needed. Ye Jingan also bought some vegetables, saying that he wanted to show off his superb cooking skills to Liu Muze. The three of them were very quick and efficient, and in a short time they bought all the daily necessities they needed and returned home with a full bag.
There was a parking space outside each villa. It was very convenient to drive directly to the door. After parking the car, Ye Jingan saw two elderly women standing across the street, pointing at their villa and muttering something. After seeing the few people get out of the car, they looked at them with strange eyes.
Qiu Zimu wanted to run over and ask what was going on. But when the two aunties saw them coming, they ran away like they were avoiding the plague. They were a little baffled, but they didn't pay much attention. It was normal for aunties to mutter after a meal!
As soon as they got home, Ye Jingan took Qiu Zimu to the kitchen to get busy.
Liu Muze went to the kitchen several times, worried that the two of them would blow it up. Seeing the two of them cooking in a serious manner, Liu Muze felt a little relieved and smiled and praised them, saying, "It looks good!"
"Of course, Brother Liu, please wait a moment." When Ye Jing'an was praised by him, he felt like he was floating in the sky, and he cut vegetables faster.
"Cut slowly, be careful with your hands." Liu Muze suddenly remembered that he had never seen Ye Jingan cook at the Ye family before. He always went straight to eat when it was time for dinner. He didn't think much of it. Ye Jingan was a quick learner. Maybe he could learn it by watching a few cooking videos.
Liu Muze stood there, unable to help much, and went to the living room to wait for dinner. He was quite looking forward to this meal. Watching Ye Jingan cook, he felt a sense of accomplishment in raising a child. Although he had never raised a child before, it was Ye Zhuoran who raised him with great care. But now that he was protecting Ye Jingan like this, it could be considered taking care of a child, just the same.
"Brother Liu, it's time to eat!" Ye Jing'an brought the food to the table.
The table was filled with four dishes and a soup. The garlic broccoli and cola chicken wings were beautifully presented, while the stir-fried shredded potatoes and green peppers with meat were homely and looked good. All of these dishes were much better than he had imagined; at least they weren't burnt.
Liu Muze smiled and said, "This all looks delicious."
"Of course! Qiu Zimu and I each made two dishes, you can try them." Ye Jingan served him a bowl of rice.
Liu Muzhe's smile deepened, and he prepared to try every dish. He picked up a piece of cola chicken wing, chewed it twice, and his expression froze instantly.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Ye Jing'an and Qiu Zimu looked at him, waiting for his answer.
Seeing Ye Jingan's face full of anticipation, Liu Muze chewed a few more bites and swallowed them. He put the uneaten chicken wings in the bowl, smiled and said, "Delicious."
Ye Jingan's tense shoulders relaxed, and he asked with a smile, "Guess who did this?"
"You did it." Liu Muzhe blurted out.
"You guessed it right!" Ye Jing'an raised his chin proudly and glanced at Qiu Zimu sideways. "See? Brother Liu said my cooking was delicious!"
Qiu Zimu didn't believe it, so he picked up a piece to try.
"Ugh..." He chewed it for a bit, covered his mouth and ran to the toilet.
"What do you mean, can't you afford to play?" Ye Jing'an shouted at Qiu Zimu, then turned around and saw Liu Muze's expression of trying not to laugh. He took out the jade button and said, "Little bastard, come out, I'll give you some delicious chicken wings!"
When the corpse baby heard Ye Jing'an calling it and saying that there was something delicious, it crawled out and stood on the dining table, opening its mouth and waiting for him to feed it.
Ye Jingan picked up a chicken wing and threw it into its mouth. The corpse baby swallowed it without even chewing it.
"Ahhh... Wow, ahhhhh!" The corpse-baby screamed and jumped around the room like crazy, gnawing at the floor tiles. After jumping around for a while, it lay on the ground motionless.
Ye Jingan: “…”
Liu Muzhe was stunned. This annoying and difficult kid just lay there motionless?
He blinked, recovered from his surprise, and said to Ye Jingan, "You have this skill, why didn't you tell me earlier! If you wanted it to be quiet, you could have just fed it the food. Why did you make me spend so much time?"
"..." Ye Jingan didn't believe it and tried it himself, "Ugh!"
The two dishes made by Ye Jingan on the table had been thrown away, and the three of them had to make do with what Qiu Zimu made and reluctantly ate some.
At night, although there were still some dishes left in the kitchen, the three of them agreed to order takeout. Although Qiu Zimu's food tasted good, under the influence of Ye Jing'an, they didn't want to eat home-cooked meals anymore.
"Have you noticed that today's takeout is especially delicious." Qiu Zimu's mouth and chopsticks never stopped moving.
"Yeah." Liu Muzhe nodded in agreement.
Ye Jingan: “…”
He was halfway through his takeaway meal when the lights in the room suddenly went out. Ye Jingan thought it was a circuit breaker and went to check.
"The circuit breaker really tripped." But after he turned off the circuit breaker, the light did not come on. After studying it for a long time, he couldn't figure out what went wrong, so he had to call the property management.
At first, the property management enthusiastically asked if they needed any help. But when they heard that the lights in their villa were out, their tone immediately changed and they stammered, "Ah? The lights are out again... huh?"
"Again? Are the lights often off here?" Ye Jing'an asked.
The property management said: "Well, this villa... has a problem with the circuit."
Ye Jingan didn't think much about it and asked when he could come to repair it.
The other party was silent for a while, and then said that the circuit repairman had gone off work and would come tomorrow.
"Tomorrow?" Ye Jing'an hadn't finished asking when the phone was hung up and a beep came in. He glanced at the time and said in an unhappy tone, "It's only a little after seven o'clock, and the master is off work already?"
"Forget it, we don't need much electricity at night. I saw some candles in the cabinet above, I'll go get them." Qiu Zimu said.
Liu Muzhe didn't say much, his eyes fixed on the cabinet.
After a busy day, Qiu Zimu and Ye Jingan were tired. There was no electricity, so they thought of going back to their room and sleeping early.
After Liu Muze and the other two fell asleep, he went to the golden nanmu cabinet, opened the door, knocked on the bottom and back panels, traced a circle around the edge of the floor with his fingernail, and with a firm push, the bottom panel separated from the cabinet. He removed the floorboards and saw a space sealed off by wooden planks. The planks were locked and had some strange symbols painted on them. Liu Muze didn't recognize them and ignored them, prying open the lock and jumping down.
It was pitch black below, and Liu Muze couldn't see anything. He used his flashlight to survey his surroundings. It was a small rectangular space, with a layer of cement on the ground and thick earth around the walls. This was a small space that someone had quietly dug.
At the far end of the room stood an old wooden table, upon which lay a variety of knives and torture instruments. Ropes and clamps lay beneath the table, and these and the walls were stained with blackened blood that hadn't been wiped clean. This place looked like a living execution ground.
Liu Muze squatted down and was about to check the wall behind the table to see if there was anything else when he heard the sound of the wooden door above closing. He climbed up the ladder, but his position was too weak to use any force. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open the door. Helplessly, he jumped down to find tools to pry it open.
Ye Jingan, who was asleep, heard someone knocking on the door and scrambled out of bed. It was dark and he couldn't see the face, but he knew it was Qiu Zimu from the figure, so he asked angrily, "What's going on so late at night?"
Qiu Zimu didn't respond to him and stood at the door with his head down.
Ye Jingan turned around and walked back to the bed, yawning. Qiu Zimu walked to the bed and sat down, moving closer to him. Ye Jingan heard Qiu Zimu sniffing him loudly, and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
Qiu Zimu raised his head and said in a sharp voice: "Your blood smells so good, let me taste it."
"Huh?" Ye Jing'an opened his eyes and found Qiu Zimu's eyes glowing yellow-green. His pupils were vertically striped, and the whites of his eyes had turned orange, like the eyes of some animal at night. Before Ye Jing'an could react and run, he was pushed down on the bed. Qiu Zimu opened his mouth and bit Ye Jing'an's neck.
"Fuck, who the hell are you? Don't... bite!" Ye Jing'an pressed against Qiu Zimu's chin tightly.
Liu Muze opened the wooden door and just ran to the second floor stairs when he heard Ye Jingan shouting in the room, "No, don't do that!" He hurried over and prepared to deal with the ghost thing.
As soon as the door opened, the three of them were stunned.
Liu Muze saw Qiu Zimu pressing down on Ye Jing'an, one hand pinching his waist, the other pulling the clothes off his shoulders, as if to kiss his neck. The person clinging to Qiu Zimu saw Liu Muze running up and sneaked away while he was dazed. As the person ran away, Qiu Zimu fainted and slumped over Ye Jing'an, his head just touching his neck.
This scene is unbearable to watch!
Liu Muzhe was stunned. He turned his head to the side and turned off the flashlight.
Did you just kiss her? Not sure, let me take another look.
Liu Muzhe turned on the flashlight and took another glance.
It’s true!
His mind suddenly buzzed and he forgot what he was doing here. After a moment of hesitation, Liu Muze closed the door awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I was reckless. You guys continue."
"Brother Liu, listen to my explanation!" Ye Jing'an was like being struck by lightning. He pushed Qiu Zimu aside and rushed out of the room, "Brother Liu!"
Liu Muzhe was about to go down the stairs when he was caught by Ye Jingan.
"Brother Liu, it's not what you see. Qiu Zimu is him..." Ye Jing'an took two breaths. At this time, he didn't notice that his collar had been pulled off, revealing a large area of white flesh on his shoulders.
Liu Muzhe stared at his shoulder and was stunned again.
Ye Jing'an followed his gaze and hurriedly pulled up his clothes, wanting to die: "No, Brother Liu, Qiu Zimu is possessed by a demon, it's not what you think!"
"Huh?" Liu Muze was still in a daze. He remembered what he was doing when he heard the monster. He said "oh" and walked downstairs.
Ye Jingan shouted in his heart: My great master, is this a misunderstanding or not?
