Chapter 057: Cemetery Bones (13)
The bright moon hangs in the sky.
Tao Xing stayed at the Lin family for half the afternoon.
Lin Yan had left the cemetery a long time ago, but he had a lot of trouble along the way. At the beginning, Tao Chi caught up with him and kept pestering him. He asked people to beat Tao Chi up, but they were met by a passing patrolman and were taken away for questioning. After coming out, his car accidentally hit another car. He threw money to the other party, but the other party was unwilling and insisted that he apologize.
He hasn't come back yet, which is just right, so Tao Xing has time to do other things.
Lin Yan was thinking that Tao Xing would agree to the marriage and had someone receive him politely. At the moment, he was wandering in the living room on the first floor of the huge villa, looking at the photos on the wall with his hands behind his back.
They are all photos of Lin Yan and his parents. As businessmen, no matter whether the family is really harmonious or not, they will create a happy atmosphere to the outside world. Therefore, the Lin family has family photos in the living room and in the business car.
However, it was precisely because of these photos that Tao Xing guessed that the Lin family was related to Helin.
There are always some similarities between close relatives. I don't feel that when looking at Lin Yan, but looking at the appearance of Lin's father, the similarity between his eyebrows and eyes and He Lin is very obvious.
Coincidentally, they both had the surname Lin. Judging from their ages, Tao Xing boldly guessed that Helin and Lin's father were brothers.
Lin Yan was not born yet when Helin died. The young master may not know what happened in the past, but his father must be very clear about it.
Someone came over to pour tea, and before leaving, he carefully reminded: "Mr. Tao, the tea set in front of you is for the master only, and no one is allowed to touch it."
"Oh." Tao Xing looked at the exquisite purple clay tea set on the desk in front of him, "I see."
Then, he reached out and touched the lid of the tea, summoning the system: "I want to purchase the memory tracking skill to track the memory of Father Lin."
System: "Father Lin?"
"right."
"Okay, host, please close your eyes."
When I opened my eyes, it was already dark.
There were hurried footsteps outside the door.
Tao Xing stood quietly in front of the desk for a long time, then turned around and saw Lin Yan running over: "Have you figured it out?"
Tao Xing was in no mood to waste time talking to him, so she held up three fingers and said, "First, return my grandma's bracelet to me, and second, stop harassing me and my family."
Young Master Lin was stunned: "Are you here to tell me this?"
"yes."
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, sat on the sofa and crossed his legs: "Tao Xing, you don't understand, your grandma is in my hands, if you dare to mess with me, be careful that the old lady can't bear it."
"It seems that your people are scared after being beaten, and they haven't told you yet." Tao Xing said coldly.
Lin Yan's smile froze, and he quickly dialed the phone. It took a while for the other end to answer: "Master Lin, the person has been rescued a long time ago. That person is so powerful, how dare we say anything..."
The other end hung up the phone before he finished speaking, leaving only the beeping sound. Lin Yan's face changed in shock, and he lost all his confidence. He hesitated for a while, then stiffened his neck and said, "So what? This is my home. If you talk to me like this, aren't you afraid that you can get in but not get out?"
"I dare to come, so I am not afraid."
"You..." Lin Yan pinched his hands, annoyed for a moment, and called someone, "Okay, I want to see if you are still so arrogant later!"
As soon as I put down the phone, dozens of bodyguards suddenly pushed the door open.
Young Master Lin raised his hands proudly: "Come on, all of you."
Tao Xing sneered and loosened his collar.
Bang, bang, crash... the sounds of "ouch" and screams of pain came one after another. The speed and force were so fast that it was dazzling and they could not dodge at all. Before a row of bodyguards could see clearly, they had all fallen to the ground, unable to scream in pain.
Lin Yan was shocked and stood up unconsciously, not knowing whether he wanted to rush over or run away, but suddenly he felt force on his back and fell down suddenly, pinned under a chair. The four legs of the chair clamped him tightly, making him unable to move, and someone was standing on the chair, leaning over to look at him.
Lin Yan was trembling with fear. It was not like he had never experienced Tao Xing's skills before, but he clearly felt that this man was ruthless today. He didn't give him a chance to fight back, and he didn't even have the chance to say a word.
"Give me back the bracelet." said the person behind him.
The voice was also much sharper than before, and the sense of oppression it revealed was chilling.
Lin Yan said tremblingly: "In my coat pocket."
The chair moved, and Lin Yan was turned over without realizing what was happening. He felt something flash across his chest, and the chair fell down again. When he came to his senses, the bracelet was already in Tao Xing's hand.
Tao Xing put away the bracelet, put one foot on the chair, and looked at him with a stern look: "I have already told you very clearly, and I will say it again today. I don't agree with the marriage. Regarding the marriage with the Tao family, you should go to the Tao family, don't come to me!"
"I...I really like you..."
"I don't like you." Tao Xing said bluntly, "I have a lover."
Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat. Under normal circumstances, he would have jumped up and asked who that person was. But now he was pinned under the legs of a chair and dared not act arrogantly. He could only ask, "Am I not as good as that person?"
"No need to compare." Tao Xing kicked the stool and said, "If you come to pester me again, I'll give it a try!"
Lin Yan was started by the bang: "Okay, I won't look for you anymore."
Tao Xing narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Really, I'm afraid of you." Young Master Lin was speaking from the heart. Coercion and bribery were useless, and beating him was useless. What else could he do? "I really don't dare to look for you anymore."
Tao Xing didn't let go: "Third."
"Ah, there's a third one?" Lin Yan thought, oh, right, he just stretched out three fingers, "What is it?"
"I want to see your dad."
"What?" Lin Yan was confused. "He's in another villa. Why do you want to meet him? You don't want to marry me, so why do you want to meet my parents..."
"Stop talking nonsense and call him." The chair was slammed again.
Lin Yan didn't dare to disobey: "Okay, okay."
Tao Xing loosened his feet, moved the chair to the side, and sat on it with his arms folded. The person on the ground stood up tremblingly and dialed the phone.
Then, he squatted carefully beside and waited for someone to come.
The night wind swayed the grass and trees outside the courtyard, casting dark shadows on the glass windows. When their young master was beaten, the people working in the villa had already huddled by the door and no one dared to move. Now, the gate of the courtyard was swaying in the wind, but no one went to close it.
The lights made an inexplicable hissing sound, then flickered on and off as if there was a leakage in the electricity.
Several figures came slowly and silently, and when the people at the door saw them, they were already outside the hall.
They were quite polite and said to those people, "We are here to find Tao Xing."
The person at the door stared with wide eyes and pointed inside.
Figures walked in from the door, the bright light making their faces look even pale.
They were originally angry and wanted to stand up for Helin, but when they saw Tao Xing leaning on a chair and the young man squatting beside him with a bruised face, the scene was a little different from what they had imagined.
The person in the chair was also looking over.
When he saw He Lin for the first time, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of pity. After a moment, he came back to his senses and said in surprise: "You..."
"We came to see you." He Lin was ashamed. "Did we disturb you?"
"No, but you..."
Xiaonan continued, "You came out when you encountered an opportunity. We thought you were going to discuss marriage with someone."
"Marriage?" Tao Xing glared at the person next to him, "Is there any?"
A look started Lin Yan, and he moved aside a little: "No, no, he came to warn me not to bother him again."
He Lin was even more ashamed: "You are busy, we will leave first."
Tao Xing stood up and held him. They had only not seen each other for a day, but he seemed to be thinking about him day and night. He was extremely intimate. Regardless of the presence of others, he held He Lin in his arms, inserted his fingers into his hair, and said to him with his face close to his: "You want to leave?"
He Lin was very embarrassed, and with a red face, he raised his hand and pushed him: "What am I doing here?"
Xiaonan thought of something and whispered, "Mr. He, didn't they say that this family is your relative? Why don't you take a closer look?"
"No need. It's been a long time." He Lin's eyes swept across Lin Yan's face. "I don't intend to remember my past life, so there's no need to reminisce about the past."
The ghosts sighed silently. Yes, so much time has passed, and this Young Master Lin didn't react at all when he saw Mr. He. He didn't even know this relative.
Then he probably wouldn't be Mr. He's son.
"Okay, since it's just a misunderstanding, it's nothing serious. Let's go?" said the ghosts.
Helin nodded.
Tao Xing said, "I'll go with you."
Before Lin's father came over, he thought for a moment, turned back, glanced at the set of purple clay teapots, smiled contemptuously, and turned around to catch up with Helin.
Lin Yan trembled and asked behind him: "Is this your lover?"
Tao Xing didn't reply and walked out the door.
Outside the gate, the vegetation is lush.
The detached villas are far apart from each other. The landscaping is good, but at night, it feels a bit eerie.
He Lin walked out and slowed down his pace. He looked back at the villa in the shadow of the tree.
"You still feel a little reluctant after all." The ghosts sighed, "Mr. He..."
"I'm fine." He Lin said, "Aren't you going to see your relatives? Go ahead, then, let's say goodbye now."
The ghosts were silent for a moment, nodded, said goodbye to the two of them, and then wandered away.
When their figures disappeared, He Lin smiled and said, "At dawn, they will go to reincarnate."
Tao Xing was staring at him: "Yeah." Then he asked, "What about you?"
"I... should go back too."
"I'll go with you."
"This time the passage is open, only ghosts can leave, not humans." He Lin smiled faintly.
Tao Xing said, "Then I'll take you there."
Helin said nothing, holding hands with the people around him, and walked slowly forward.
As soon as he walked out of the villa area, he stopped and looked up.
"What's wrong?" Tao Xing asked.
"Xiaocai... is back again." Helin looked puzzled.
As they were talking, a car stopped in front of them and several people got out.
Tao Xing looked at one of them in astonishment: "Grandma?"
The old woman took a few quick steps and pulled his hand: "You've been here for so long, I'm really worried about you, so I asked them to come with me to see you."
"this..."
"I'm not making trouble for no reason. I know that even if you really have something to do, my coming here will only cause more trouble, but..." Grandma said, "Little Yellow was particularly noisy tonight, barking all the time and scratching the door with his paws. I was really worried."
Tao Xing lowered his head and saw Xiao Huang jumping out of the car. After spinning around for several times, he suddenly barked wildly towards the shade of the tree.
A child in hospital gown walked out from behind the shade of the tree, smiled at Tao Xing and He Lin, then picked up the puppy: "Xiao Cai!"
The puppy whimpered and pressed its forehead against the boy's cheek.
The boy shed two lines of tears, and the puppy also shed two lines of tears.
Grandma was surprised: "Ah, Xiao Huang knows him, Xiao Xing, where did you pick up the dog? This must be its owner. No wonder it was so restless tonight. It sensed its owner. It was a false alarm." The old man patted his chest and walked forward, "Child, then I'll give the dog back to you. We thought it was a stray dog and brought it home."
The little boy raised his eyes, with a look of sadness in his eyes: "You should help me raise it."
"Why..." Grandma wanted to speak, but Tao Xing interrupted her softly, "Okay, I will take good care of it."
The boy thanked the puppy several times and hugged him tightly.
Tao Xing nodded and looked at the person next to him: "He Lin?"
He Lin suddenly raised his eyes and smiled stiffly: "What's wrong?"
"Shall we... go?" Tao Xing clenched her trembling hands.
"Walk."
"Okay." Tao Xing said to the driver, "Thank you. Please help take my grandma back home."
"Why be polite? We are all neighbors."
Tao Xing then asked the boy, "Will you take the puppy back?"
The boy agreed: "Of course."
The old woman noticed something, adjusted her glasses, and stood in front of Tao Xing: "Xiao Xing, this is..."
Tao Xing raised her hand and said, "My boyfriend."
"Huh?" Grandma's eyes immediately fell on Helin. "Oh, why didn't you tell me that you were dating? Hello, I'm Xiaoxing's grandma."
Helin nodded quickly: "Hello, hello." Even if he was a ghost who had been dead for many years, he would still be nervous when meeting his lover's parents.
Grandma smiled and said, "You're welcome. You two want to go on a date, I understand. Okay, I'll go."
He looked at He Lin again: "I like this young man as soon as I saw him. He is better than that young master of the Lin family."
On the road, Lin Yan, who had just run over, stopped when he heard this.
Just now in the house he asked if the person who came was Tao Xing's lover. Tao Xing didn't answer, but he didn't give up and wanted to run out to take a look.
虽然已经被揍服了，可林少爷就是想跟“情敌”比一下，看看自己哪里不好。
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived, I heard these words.
Young Master Lin was rejected before he even started competing, and he didn't dare to step forward, so he could only watch He Lin from behind. He didn't look carefully in the hall just now, and when he realized that he was Tao Xing's lover and wanted to take a look at him, he had already left.
Now, Lin Yan was standing by the dim street lamp, looking at the man in the Zhongshan suit under the shade of the tree. The street lamp was white, and the shadows of the trees were mottled. There was no color, only white light and black shadows, so that the man under the tree also fell into black and white.
And in this intersection of black and white, Lin Yan inexplicitly felt that the face was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
He didn't think of coming out. He saw that the group of people had dispersed, Tao Xing's grandmother left in a car, and the little boy holding the dog disappeared. Tao Xing and the other boy walked hand in hand on the road, walking farther and farther away, and disappeared from sight.
A car honked and Lin Yan came back to his senses.
The car approached, and a man in his fifties got out: "Why did you call me over here in the middle of the night, little brat?"
The person who came was Lin's father.
Lin Yan's eyes were dazzled by the car lights. He closed them for a while before opening them and looking at his father's eyes: "It wasn't me, it was someone else..."
He stopped talking and his face turned pale.
He remembered where the familiar feeling just now came from.
This afternoon he was in the cemetery, circling a tombstone covered with rose petals for several times, and humiliated Tao Chi beside the tombstone, with blood even flowing onto the tombstone.
At that time, I inadvertently caught a glimpse of the portrait on the tombstone.
He didn't notice much when he first saw it in the hall, but under the black and white shade of the trees, he felt vaguely familiar with it. And now, seeing his father, he suddenly remembered it.
That person looks exactly like the one in the photo on the tombstone!
Moreover, those eyebrows and eyes were actually somewhat similar to his father's... He only remembered it when he saw his father.
He couldn't figure out anything, he just recalled the name on the tombstone and murmured to his father: "Dad, do you know... Lin Heqing?"
Father Lin's expression suddenly changed and the phone in his hand fell.
On the dark road, the two people holding hands felt the car lights and looked back.
It was too far away and I couldn't see the people getting off the car.
He Lin smiled faintly: "Let's go."
Tao Xing looked at him for a few times, then pulled his hand and pointed forward: "The moonlight is beautiful tonight."
"yes."
"Look, that star is very bright."
"Yeah, it's really bright."
"Wow, there is a large field of flowers here." Tao Xing leaned over to smell the flowers.
"What a nice view."
"Lin Heqing."
"Um?"
The talking suddenly stopped.
He Lin's smile froze.
Tao Xing stood up: "You have never forgotten who you are. You have always known about your life and always remembered your name."
Helin moved his mouth but said nothing. The stiff smile disappeared, he pulled his hand away, and slowly lowered his head.
Tao Xing continued: "You haven't lifted the forbidden spell either. The bones can't leave at all. You let them come to the human world so that they can devour the souls of their loved ones and turn into evil spirits. You want to draw energy from them. At dawn, they will not go on the road of reincarnation, but will turn into ashes."
The man who lowered his eyes raised them again, his face even paler than when he was underground.
Tao Xing gently stroked his face: "By absorbing the energy of evil spirits, you will become a fierce ghost, or was your original plan to become a fierce ghost?"
Helin squeezed his hands lightly.
Tao Xing said in a gentle voice: "The evil ghost has lost his mind and brought disaster to the world. He will be punished by heaven and earth." There was no doubt in his tone. He just explained the matter softly, "Your obsession has not been resolved, and you died an unnatural death. I will accompany you to revenge, but the ghosts in the cemetery and their relatives are innocent. Let them go, okay?"
