Chapter 540 Old Courtyard (2/2)



Until now, Chu Qi contacted him on his own initiative.

"...Senior, I'm sorry, but I just love you too much and don't want you to be with another man..."

Listening to Jiang Rui's explanation on the other end of the phone, Chu Qi felt that everything was too ridiculous.

He loves her too much, but dares not appear in front of her again, dares not express his love to her again, but hides behind her and does these things.

Chu Qi gritted his teeth and said with a sneer.

"Jiang Rui, this isn't love at all. You're mentally twisted! You're sick!"

Perhaps to use the words of novelists to describe it, people like Jiang Rui are what we call "yandere" and "dank" characters.

But such people may not think anything of it when reading the novel, or perhaps they may even find such character settings very appealing when they are attracted by the plot.

In fact, if you put it into real life, it will only make people horrified!

How can this be a normal person?

This is just perverted!

What's more, his so-called "love" is actually just to satisfy his own psychological delusions. He doesn't care whether other people will be scared or affected!

Chu Qi clenched his palms, took a deep breath, and gave him advice while suppressing his trembling.

"Jiang Rui, if you have time, go see a psychiatrist more often. You're really scary..."

After saying that, Chu Qi quickly hung up the phone.

After thinking about it, she finally deleted Jiang Rui's contact information.

She even felt guilty for breaking up with him.

Now, Jiang Rui has also come to "retaliate", and the two of them are finally at odds.

Chu Qi pulled the corner of his mouth bitterly, turned around and asked Lin Xi.

"Master, has my marriage problem been solved?"

Lin Xi looked at her face and nodded.

"It's solved, but...it may take some time for your entanglement with Jiang Rui to end."

After all, Jiang Rui's personality doesn't seem like the kind of person who would give up so quickly.

Chu Qi also knew what was going on.

Now that she knows what Jiang Rui did behind the scenes, she will of course be more cautious.

If necessary, she would choose to call the police.

After finding out the truth about his "scumbag-attracting physique", Chu Qi quickly paid the reward and left.

After she left, Zhang Hejin shook his head and sighed, his tone a little scared.

"It seems that falling in love is quite risky."

I don't know why, but I was targeted by this paranoid person.

Lin Xi remained silent.

Fortunately, she is not interested in dating. Instead of spending this time, she might as well have a good meal.

Lin Xi quickly found a bookstore that sold bookmarks and made a phone call to reserve a spot in advance.

After deciding on a seat, he and his apprentice Zhang Hejin set out to eat.

While eating, Lin Xi casually mentioned to Zhang Hejin that she was going out to repair the chain in a few days.

Zhang Hejin nodded to show that he had received it, and said that he would look at the Feng Shui shop carefully.

Originally, Lin Xi wanted to take Zhang Hejin with him.

But now it seems that he still needs to be more familiar with things like face reading and fortune telling,

So it’s better to let him stay and guard the Feng Shui shop. At worst, she can set up a few more spirit gathering arrays in the Feng Shui shop. The spiritual energy is enough for Zhang Hejin to repair the chain.

After everything was settled, Lin Xi set off.

Although there are many good mountain forests for cultivation near Jiangyu District, Lin Xi still chose a place farther away from the city.

After all, I'm already out, so I might as well take this opportunity to travel.

Because the air is more abundant in places with many trees and mountains, Lin Xi went directly to a relatively remote town in the city.

The town is not prosperous and there is not much to see on the streets, but the local specialties are quite good.

Lin Xi randomly found a small restaurant run by a couple. While waiting for the food, he suddenly discovered that at the edge of the town, there was a house with a black aura rising from it.

Lin Xi immediately became interested and took a closer look, and found that it was an old-fashioned courtyard.

Judging from the style and materials of the walls and gates, it is likely that they have been built for more than a hundred years.

The yard is less than a kilometer away from the town's main street, and is an area where urban and rural areas meet.

Logically speaking, the location is good and convenient, but there is no sign that anyone has lived in the house.

Not only that, there were no houses on the left and right sides of the yard.

Judging from the situation, it seems that there were some before, but they were all demolished.

As soon as he saw the black air rising from the yard, Lin Xi guessed that there must be something fishy about the house, which was why not only no one dared to live there, but no one dared to live near it either.

When the proprietress brought the dishes up, Lin Xi asked her about the yard.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she gestured to the boss's wife to look at the yard, the boss's wife's face changed.

Perhaps because Lin Xi was young and came alone, and she was afraid that she might do something unreasonable, the proprietress hurriedly stopped her.

"Girl, don't let your curiosity get the better of you. That yard is very spooky. Don't go in there. No one can enter!"

As for what exactly happened, the proprietress was very secretive and didn't want to elaborate.

Seeing this, Lin Xi naturally did not force it.

However, the proprietress's reaction did make Lin Xi more curious about the yard.

She decided to go over there after dinner to take a look. If the things inside didn't harm anyone, she would just take a look at them. If they did, she would just get rid of them.

But what she didn't expect was that before she finished her meal, she saw an old man with the same black aura as the man in the yard slowly walk into the restaurant.

The old man had gray hair and was probably in his seventies or eighties. He was not in good health and trembled as he walked, holding a simple wooden cane in his hand.

He was holding a plastic lunch box in his other hand.

After entering the store, he slowly handed the lunch box to the proprietress and forced an apologetic smile on his wrinkled face.

"Xiaoju, please help me get two taels of rice."

When the proprietress saw it was him, she sighed and walked over, took the lunch box from the old man's hand and greeted him.

"Uncle Luo, please sit down first. I'll go get you some food."

The old man thanked her and was about to pay when the proprietress quickly reached out to stop him.

"Oh, two taels of rice isn't worth much. It's just, Uncle Luo, next time you need food, you can just call me and I'll leave it on the roadside. You, well, you should try not to come to my shop. I'm not targeting you, but you know your family's situation, Uncle Luo. I'm afraid others will see it and won't dare to come to my shop for dinner again..."

The proprietress looked embarrassed when she said this.

But if she didn't speak frankly, it would indeed affect her own opinion.

Although the boss lady's words were a bit cruel, she gave more than two taels of rice and even put some vegetables at the bottom of the lunch box.

"Uncle Luo, your grandson is at home. Two taels isn't enough. I'll give you some more..."

Lin Xi noticed this scene and his eyes involuntarily looked at the old man.

When he saw this, his eyebrows moved.

Because she discovered that the old man had a face that indicated he would be childless!
