"That thing..." Lin Juanjuan recalled, "It appeared suddenly."
"He Zhaoshan died suddenly." Lin Juanjuan said, with a trace of absurdity on her face, "It's hard to believe, right? He was a healthy person, and his work intensity was not that high, how could he suddenly die?"
He Zhaoshan died at his workstation. He was a real estate agent. He was busy with work and earned a lot. He didn't have any fixed holidays, but he could still rest on a daily basis.
Therefore, Lin Juanjuan and He's parents did not agree with the statement of "sudden death". After discussion, they applied for a forensic autopsy, and the cause of death was cardiac arrest, which is sudden cardiac death.
There are actually signs a few days before sudden death, such as chest pain, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing, which are all signs before sudden death.
Lin Juanjuan suddenly realized that He Zhaoshan did say that he felt uncomfortable in his chest two days ago and wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up, but he happened to be busy these days and didn't have time. Who knows...
This is the truth, and Lin Juanjuan and He’s parents have to accept it no matter how hard they try.
He Zhaoshan's company was quite large, so he didn't argue with them and directly paid compensation as if the death was on the job. All in all, it amounted to almost one million.
On the day the money arrived, He's mother cried heartbreakingly while holding the bank card. Her son's young life was worth just a string of cold numbers and would never be returned.
Lin Juanjuan had been helping out at the He family during those days. She and He Zhaoshan had already brought each other to meet their parents, and getting married was a matter of time. However, they always wanted to save more money so that they could live a better life in the future. Who could have thought that if they put it off for so long, they would never have the chance to get married again?
He's parents felt very sorry for Lin Juanjuan for delaying her, and even offered to give her half of the compensation.
"I refused." Lin Juanjuan sighed, "I don't know how long I can remember him. I'm afraid that when I get married and have children, what will happen if Uncle He and Aunt He have no one to take care of them? That's the retirement money Zhaoshan left for them."
"Everything was fine at the beginning. The saddest few days passed, and the He family's life gradually calmed down. Aunt He's mood also stabilized a lot, so I went back to work. But I would visit them every week and call them to ask about the situation at home."
"Everything was normal at first, and we were gradually coming out of our grief." Lin Juanjuan took a deep breath, "Until one month later, Aunt He called me. She was very emotional. She said that He Zhaoshan was back."
Lin Juanjuan thought that Aunt He was mentally ill because she missed her son so much that she asked for leave and rushed to He's house.
As a result, when she pushed the door open, she found that the portrait of He Zhaoshan in the living room was gone. There was a lively program on TV, which was He Zhaoshan's favorite variety show. The aroma of big plate chicken came from the kitchen, which was also He Zhaoshan's favorite dish.
Lin Juanjuan was completely confused. Are Aunt He and Uncle He crazy?
There was no one in the living room, so she went to the kitchen, but as soon as she reached the door, she heard voices coming from inside.
"It's a bit bland, maybe add some chili."
Lin Juanjuan suddenly froze in place.
That's He Zhaoshan's voice!
"Eating something so spicy is bad for your stomach." Aunt He said habitually, and then compromised, "Is this enough?"
"That's enough." He Zhaoshan said hesitantly, "Juanjuan can't eat too spicy food."
"Oh." Aunt He was a little worried, "Did I put too much? This pepper is quite spicy."
He Zhaoshan said: "It's okay, I'll just order her a cup of milk tea, something sweet can help relieve the spiciness."
Aunt He urged: "Hurry up, it's time to eat soon."
Listening to the conversation in the kitchen, Lin Juanjuan became even more confused and even began to wonder if she was mentally ill.
Until He Zhaoshan came out of the kitchen.
"It's exactly the same." Lin Juanjuan said: "I never thought I could see him alive again, but I knew clearly that no matter how similar he was, he was not him. I couldn't just watch my uncle and aunt get cheated. After dinner that day, I contacted a Taoist priest office, and the Taoist priest who received me was called Ying Siyun."
Wen Qi paused, "Punk girl Ying Siyun?"
Lin Juanjuan nodded hesitantly, "He does look a bit punk. Is he someone Master Wen Tian knows?"
Wen Qi took out his phone and asked, "Do you mind if I ask her to come along?"
Lin Juanjuan shook her head. "She is the only one who knows a lot of things. I don't know why the exorcism was not successful or what the thing impersonating He Zhaoshan was. Ying Siyun...she cancelled the order."
Wen Qi found the number and dialed it. "You mean she accepted the order, learned about the situation and then canceled it? And then there was no explanation?"
Lin Juanjuan nodded, "Yes, she also told me not to waste my energy, no heavenly master can solve it, unless Uncle He and Aunt He can figure it out themselves."
Fan Xiaoling was confused. "Does this mean that the instigators of this situation are actually He Zhaoshan's parents?"
Lin Juanjuan nodded, this should be what it meant.
The phone rang for a long time before it was connected, and the music on the other end was deafening. Wen Qi frowned and moved the receiver a little further away without saying anything.
After a few seconds, the other side suddenly became quiet, and Ying Siyun's surprised voice came over, "Master Wen Tian! You actually took the initiative to call me!"
Wen Qi laughed, "You don't have to be so exaggerated. I have something I want to ask you about. Do you have time to come over now?"
Ying Siyun hesitated, "It may take another half an hour. We are rehearsing and we have finally managed to find time for it."
Ying Siyun laughed, "That's what I wanted! I'll send you the address right now!"
After hanging up the phone, Wen Qi said, "Let's go, let's go to another place." When she stood up, she gently kicked the cat that was basking in the sun, "Xiaojiu, let's go."
Xiaojiu stood up lazily and stretched, yawned loudly, shook off the hair on his body, and then walked gracefully to catch up with Wen Qi.
Xiaojiu's appearance was so handsome that all the customers in the store were attracted to him. Some even took out their mobile phones to take pictures of Xiaojiu.
Lin Juanjuan also looked at it several more times.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Fan Xiaoling said with a smile: "Unfortunately, not everyone can afford it."
Lin Juanjuan turned to look at her in confusion. Isn't it just a Maine Coon? Although this cat is very beautiful and looks very smart... well, such a beautiful Maine Coon should be very expensive, and most people really can't afford it.
Then it should be okay to raise one who is not that pretty, right?
The next second, Fan Xiaoling said: "This cat has become a spirit."
Lin Juanjuan was stunned. It has become a spirit? Is this what it means literally, or is it just too smart?
She was still thinking about this question until she got in the car, and her eyes unconsciously glanced at Xiaojiu.
It was hard for Xiaojiu not to notice it. It was a little uncomfortable being stared at all the time, and began to doubt the woman's intentions.
Halfway through the journey, Xiao Jiu finally couldn't help but said, "Don't keep looking at me. I'm not interested in women."
It's a hoarse and sexy voice, but the tone is low and soft, and you can tell it's a woman's voice!
Lin Juanjuan's doubts were resolved. It was really a spirit in the literal sense! After a few seconds, her face suddenly changed, "Monster!"
Wen Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Yes, yes, you can call it a monster, but we usually call it a spirit monster, which is considered a rare species. It's not easy for things to become spirits nowadays."
There were two Heavenly Masters there, and Xiaojiu looked cool and handsome, which made him very likable. So after the initial shock, Lin Juanjuan did not feel scared, but felt very curious.
Along the way, she kept looking at Xiaojiu and tried to chat with it, and she did not give up even when Xiaojiu ignored her.
I listened to the whole reggae music hiding in Fan Xiaoling's amulet, and my heart felt like it was soaked in a vinegar jar, so sour.
He also wanted to chat with Juanjuan! Ying Siyun's rehearsal place was in the basement of an old building near the city center. It was well soundproofed and cheap. I don't know how they found this place.
When Wen Qi and the others arrived, Ying Siyun and the others had not finished their rehearsal yet. They walked down the stairs, pushed the door open, and found a corner to enjoy the music.
It's very noisy and sounds good, but after listening to it for a while I start to find it noisy, my head starts to buzz, and I want to escape.
Fortunately, Ying Siyun and the others finished rehearsing soon. The band members packed up their things and left, each of them looking particularly cool.
Ying Siyun came over with sweat on her forehead and asked with a smile: "How is it? Does it sound good?"
What else could Wen Qi say? She could only smile and praise.
Ying Siyun felt a little embarrassed by the compliment. She lowered her head slightly and saw Xiaojiu lying on the ground. She immediately exclaimed, "What a cool cat!" After a pause of only a second, she was shocked again, "It's actually a spirit!"
Ying Siyun was immediately itching to buy the cat. "Are you selling this cat?"
Xiao Jiu's eyes suddenly darkened, "You are looking for death!"
Ying Siyun curled her lips, "She-cat, forget it."
Xiaojiu arched his back and cried out, but was stopped by Wen Qi's eyes. "You have too bad a temper. Go back and read more books on self-cultivation." As she said that, she opened her phone, downloaded the app, and bought early childhood education classes, all in one go.
Finally, he placed the phone in front of Xiaojiu and said, "Study hard."
A voice came from the phone, "Today we are going to learn Pinyin. First we need to understand the composition of Pinyin..."
Xiaojiu screamed like he was furious, picked up the phone and ran away. In front of so many people, couldn't we give him some face? !
Several people couldn't help laughing, but after more than ten seconds, they suddenly fell silent.
Ying Siyun looked at Lin Juanjuan and sighed, "It's been so long, why haven't you given up yet?"
Lin Juanjuan was very stubborn. "No matter how much it resembles him, it is not him after all. I will not live in false self-deception, and Uncle He and Aunt He should not be deceived!"
Ying Siyun frowned and reminded: "Then have you ever thought that they might be willing to be deceived? After all, their real son can't come back. Someone can act with them and pretend that their son is still there. Isn't this also a kind of comfort?"
Lin Juanjuan pursed her lips and said nothing. She still felt that this replacement was a betrayal of He Zhaoshan! Wen Qi suddenly had an idea and asked, "Does the He family worship the guardian deity?"
