Chapter 7: Horizontal Pupil Totem
After saying goodbye to his family members, Gu Ji declined all interviews and got into the car with the help of Ye Qingtong.
She held the quilt tightly and refused to let go. The quilt smelled of the warm sun. Although it was a thin quilt for spring and autumn, she liked it very much.
"Sister, can I sleep with this under my head today?" she asked Ye Qingtong.
But Ye Qingtong did not answer.
Only then did she realize that the atmosphere in the car was a little solemn and strange.
Ye Zheng sat in the driver's seat and Ye Qingtong sat in the passenger seat.
The car is very big, it is a seven-seater business car.
Gu Ji looked up and saw two faces in the rearview mirror, one familiar and one unfamiliar. He was so scared that he almost shook the quilt off the ground.
She turned around suddenly and saw Xiaojie smiling at her foolishly.
"Sister...sister!" Xiao Jie stretched out his hands towards her, wanting to hug her.
Gu Ji didn't say anything, so Xiao Jie stood up and walked to her side, squatted down with a distressed look, and touched her calf.
Ye Qingtong's heart tightened immediately, thinking that the silly boy was being a hooligan, but Xiaojie just blew on her calf, "Blow it, sister, it doesn't hurt, sister, eat something."
He took out his pockets and stuffed them with various snacks.
Gu Ji pouted, and the tears that had not fallen just now suddenly fell out.
Over the years, Xiao Jie has tried many times to get Gu Ji to leave the pigpen. He would secretly hide his food in his sleeves, and then run to the pigpen to feed Gu Ji when Wang Wencai and his wife were not paying attention.
Later, he was discovered by the couple.
So, Xiaojie was also locked at home.
Gu Ji also leaned over and touched Xiaojie's calf, "Xiaojie, does it still hurt?"
"Xiao Jie, it doesn't hurt! Sister doesn't hurt, Xiao Jie, it doesn't hurt!" He is very handsome, with special phoenix eyes and bright facial features. When he smiles, there is a dimple and canine teeth on the left cheek, which makes him look very sunny.
Behind him sat the man in a black coat and sunglasses.
The man exuded a chill and slowly took off his sunglasses.
This coldness does not mean that his temperament is scary and makes people feel cold all over, but that he really has a coldness in him, or in other words, - yin energy.
During this month in the hospital, she has been learning the mantras and breathing in and out the Qi in her body. She can now clearly sense the differences between Yin Qi, turbid Qi, Yang Qi, popularity, resentment, and spiritual Qi.
The man had yin energy, spiritual energy, and resentment mixed together, as complicated as a soul tangled in a tangled ball of wool.
"He is Xiaojie's biological brother, Junzhu. He is the son of my old friend and is only five years older than you." Ye Zheng explained.
He was an acquaintance of Uncle Ye, so Gu Ji relaxed a little.
She looked at Jun Zhu again. He was wearing a high-necked sweater under his coat. He did look a bit like Xiao Jie, with the same phoenix eyes, but he was sharper and colder than Xiao Jie. He looked like he was soaked in the snow, making people afraid to approach him.
"Xiao Jie has been clamoring to see you for the past month. He hasn't slept well in a month."
Moreover, Xiaojie refused to speak since he was brought home, but today he spoke so much and laughed so happily.
Xiao Jie smiled brightly and kept looking at Gu Ji, refusing to move his eyes away, as if he was afraid that she would disappear again.
Gu Ji rubbed Xiao Jie's head and said, "Xiao Jie, why don't you sleep well?"
She pulled Xiaojie's arm, but Xiaojie suddenly cried out in pain. Then, he said aggrievedly, "Auntie, you scared me. You are very scary."
"What auntie?"
Xiao Jie suddenly hugged his ears, squatted on the ground, and trembled all over. "I don't want it, I don't want to drink this bitter water! I don't want to drink it! I want Brother Junzhu, I want Sister Jiji, I don't want to drink it, I don't want to drink it!"
[Please help Junjie find his sealed soul and three spirits.]
The task reminder suddenly sounded.
Gu Ji paused, [Isn't Xiaojie born stupid?]
As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Zhu coughed twice. His pale hand touched Xiao Jie's head and his eyes moved to Gu Ji. "The aunt he was talking about is his mother, my stepmother."
So, these two are half-siblings?
No wonder they don't look that similar.
"Was he already in this state when you first met him?" Jun Zhu asked.
He frowned slightly, and his paleness and fragility added a bit of snowy haziness to him.
Gu Jien sighed, "When he was brought to the Wang family, he slept for several days. When he woke up, he didn't speak or eat. A week later, he suddenly started talking, but he's been in this state ever since. When Wang Wencai found out he was a little idiot, he got very angry and had a fight with the village chief. Later, the village chief probably returned part of the money, and Wang Wencai didn't pursue the matter any further. I've already told the police all this."
Jun Zhu suddenly sneered, and his sinister temperament became even stronger, like a physical male ghost. Gu Ji didn't dare to get close to him. He shrank his whole body, with his butt only sitting a little bit on the seat, and he wanted to get out of the car and sit on the hood.
He suddenly began to undress.
Ye Zheng's eyes widened. "Hey, nephew, you're not feeling well. It's so cold, and the car isn't even warm enough. My daughters are still here. You're doing this—"
Fortunately, he only took off his coat and sweater.
He also wore a shirt underneath.
The sleeves of his shirt were rolled up, and there was a pattern printed on the inside of his forearm.
It looks like a snake and a dragon.
It was clearly still, but if you stare at it for too long, the thing that looked like a snake but not a dragon seemed to be moving, turning into a whirlpool, as if it was going to suck people in.
The strangest thing is that whether it is a snake or a dragon, the pupils are generally vertical.
But the eyes in this sudden incident were horizontal like a goat's.
Jun Zhu suddenly pressed down on Xiao Jie's head again and pushed him down. Gu Ji was about to stop him, but he saw an identical pattern on the back of Xiao Jie's neck!
Ye Zheng realized something was wrong, "Does your father know this pattern?"
"I don't know. I don't know if Xiaojie's disappearance and stupidity are related to this pattern. If so, maybe it's my fault." The man lowered his eyes, and his crow-feather eyelashes trembled slightly.
He doesn't like his stepmother.
But the child is innocent.
Moreover, Xiao Jie is very kind and cute. He always stuck to him when he was a child. Even if he spoke badly to him, Xiao Jie would come over and give him snacks after crying, just like he gave snacks to Gu Ji just now.
Suddenly, his hand was grabbed.
Gu Ji's hands were warm, and her scarred fingertips stroked the pattern.
Her expression was more serious than ever.
There is a lot of resentment in this pattern!
She let go of Jun Zhu's hand again, and Jun Zhu's hand remained in the position held by her for a long time before it fell down.
The pattern on Xiaojie's neck is relatively less resentful. It is obviously the same thing, unless - this pattern was planted artificially, like a curse.
She looked at Jun Zhu and said seriously, "It has nothing to do with you. Xiao Jie is missing one soul and two spirits out of three souls and seven spirits. As long as we find them, the curse on him can be lifted."
"Curse?!" the three people in the car said in unison.
Jun Zhu heard how the girl in front of him made Uncle Ye's biological daughter appear in Xialu Village. Because he was weak, he was naturally harassed by wandering spirits sometimes.
He himself had sought out experts in this field, and their responses were also curses.
This girl could tell at just one glance.
And there seems to be a solution.
Gu Ji stared at the pattern, and her head suddenly started to hurt. The more she looked at it, the more familiar it seemed to her, as if she had seen it somewhere before...
