Ghost Face also looked over there and said, "People who are causing trouble for you? I'll go scare them, hehehe."
Chi Shen grabbed the ghost face that had escaped from his clothes and continued to walk inside: "As long as they don't disturb my sleep, there's no need to worry about it. But my home is still very warm, and they usually don't dare to disturb me."
A puzzled look appeared on the ghost face: Is there any necessary connection between warmth and not daring to disturb?
Without waiting for Guilian to ask, Chi Shen had already put Guilian into his pocket and pushed open the door of the old house.
Ghost Face is too weak. Although he thinks that the people of the Bai family are also too weak, they are more than enough to deal with Ghost Face. He still doesn't want to let Ghost Face go to die.
From beginning to end, the two people squatting under the tree just looked at this side and did not dare to come over.
The news that something big had happened in the old house had already spread throughout the Bai family. Old He had run away, and now no one dared to come and guard the old house. However, given the current situation of the old house, someone had to watch it, so Bai Hengqing and Bai Ximing discussed it and decided to call a few more people to watch from a distance outside.
The two rubbed their hands in the cold wind and talked:
"That was Chi Shen just now?"
"He's the only one who still lives here."
"The second uncle has already run away and doesn't dare to stay in here, but he is still living here. Is he a human or a ghost?"
"Maybe he's not afraid of death."
"Should we report his return?"
"If it's a ghost, then it shouldn't be necessary. But if it's a human... should it be necessary?"
When Bai Hengqing and Bai Ximing received the report, they were talking with other elders of the Bai family about the old house.
Old He ran away, and not only did he run away, he also took away the Bai family's token, which was a ruler used by the first generation ancestor of the Bai family. It had the power to punish evil spirits and was originally placed with the gatekeeper in case of emergency. Unexpectedly, the gatekeeper suddenly ran away without a word.
Now the problem of the Bai family's old house has become a big trouble. Some people said they wanted to cooperate with the Special Security Bureau to solve the problem of the old house, but they were sternly rejected by Bai Ximing and Bai Hengqing.
At this time, someone suggested: "Why not call Wenqin back? He should be able to help with this."
Bai Ximing heard this and said, "It's not impossible, but he has found a better place to go, and I don't know if he will come back."
"It was my Bai family who trained him," Bai Hengqing said, "Although he gave up his position as the gatekeeper of the old house, we didn't have a falling out with him. But my Bai family is in trouble now, so it's not too much to ask him to come back and help."
Everyone else listened to Bai Hengqing's words and felt that this made sense.
Mr. He is old, and they have been looking for someone to take over for a long time. There was once a person who almost became the gatekeeper of the old house, and that person was Wen Qin they mentioned.
Wen Qin is a truly gifted person. He is born with the ability to see Yin and Yang, and learns magic very quickly. Bai Hengqing once regretted that this person did not have the surname Bai, otherwise he would have been able to revive the Bai family in no time.
During the half year that Wenqin worked as a gatekeeper, nothing went wrong. There were even more evil spirits in the old house, but it was still peaceful. It was a pity that he left after half a year, and even left the Bai family and Hong Kong City.
"Where is he now?" Bai Ximing asked.
Someone said: "The Imperial Capital."
When Bai Hengqing heard this, he immediately guessed, "Did He Lianhai go to find him?"
Everyone else thought it was unlikely. After all, if they wanted to find Wen Qin, they just had to tell the Bai family. Why did he run away secretly? It was obvious that he was afraid!
At this time, the younger generation who was waiting to pass on the message finally had the opportunity to pass on the message and whispered to Bai Ximing the news that Chi Shen had returned.
Bai Ximing was a little surprised: "He's still alive?"
The younger generation was very puzzled: "Not only is he alive, he seems to be doing well. Judging from his appearance, he must have gone to work and returned. He went to work."
This made Bai Ximing a little puzzled: "How can you live in that damn place and still have the mood to go to work?"
"Don't worry about young people's affairs," Bai Hengqing suddenly said. He was sitting next to Bai Ximing and could naturally hear their conversation. "Whether he is working or going to school, as long as he can live, if he can really live in the old house for a full month, then my Bai family will have a successor."
Bai Hengqing said this with a smile. The living room was noisy now, with everyone discussing what to do with the old house. Even though his voice was a little loud at the end, only a few people paid attention to him.
Bai Ran was sitting not far from them, together with a group of younger members of the Bai family, also listening to the meeting of their elders.
He kept staring at the position next to Bai Ximing. His position was there before, and he had been trained as the heir of the Bai family. Since Chi Shen appeared, his position became here.
Originally he should not have had the chance to come and listen, but his adoptive father kindly told him to sit here, so he got the chance.
In an ancient family like the Bai family, blood ties are definitely valued very much. A child like him who was taken away by mistake basically has only one way to go, which is to be expelled from the Bai family. Even if he has Bai family blood in his body, he may still be expelled for various reasons, let alone a person who has no blood ties with the Bai family.
He had spent the first twenty years of his life working hard to become the next head of the Bai family. He couldn't be kicked out, he absolutely couldn't.
Bai Hengqing's words made his body twitch slightly, and he looked at them in disbelief.
Chi Shen was the one who was rejected by Bai Ximing in the beginning, but now the meaning of Bai Hengqing's words seems to want Chi Shen to come back.
Chi Shen must not come back.
If he just couldn't stand Chi Shen at the beginning and thought that because of Chi Shen's appearance, he would be exposed as not being Bai Ximing's biological son, so he tricked Chi Shen into the old house and wanted him to die. Then now, when Chi Shen entered the old house and did not die, he must not let Chi Shen come back. If Chi Shen could come back, he would definitely be trained as the heir of the Bai family. Then he who once wanted to kill Chi Shen would end up in a very miserable way.
What's more, it was because of Chi Shen that he was dragged in by that old ghost. Thinking of this, his body trembled slightly. He grabbed his wrist nervously, trying not to think about what happened last night.
Everyone around noticed Bai Ran's abnormality.
Bai Ran has always been gentle and nonchalant. As the heir of the Bai family, he is very nice to everyone and has no airs at all. Everyone likes him very much.
But Bai Ran who appeared tonight was like a different person. There was a faint sour smell on his body, and his hair was messy and looked unkempt. Since he appeared, he ignored everyone and just stared at Bai Ximing with his lifeless eyes.
Just now Bai Ran twitched slightly again, and the people around him thought he was sick. One of them asked in a low voice: "Are you okay?"
Bai Ran ignored him.
The man reached out and pushed Bai Ran again: "Master? Master?"
Hearing the word "Young Master", Bai Ran finally reacted. He turned his head and glanced at the man. Just one glance made the man stunned.
In Bai Ran's eyes, there was fear and resentment that he had never seen before.
Soon Bai Ran turned around and continued to look at the position next to Bai Ximing. The man felt it was very strange, but stopped talking and just looked at Bai Ran from time to time.
The family meeting lasted until late at night, and Bai Ran left with the crowd. He rested for a while in the room prepared for him by Bai Hengqing, then put on his clothes and went out.
He had another move. He had originally wanted to silence Lu Xiangyang. If Chi Shen could not die in the old house, he would ruin his reputation and make him bear the crime of murder that could not be cleared.
But now he had to make this move. He wanted to let Chi Shen know that he, who knew nothing about magic, would never be able to enter the Bai family.
When he arrived outside Bai Hengqing's house, Bai Ran took out his phone and hailed a taxi. After getting in the car, the driver looked at him in the rearview mirror and asked with some concern: "Little brother, why are you shivering all the time? Are you okay? Can I turn on the heater for you?"
He saw that the young man was not only shaking occasionally, but his eyes were also staring straight ahead. He wondered if he had encountered something bad or was sick. He checked the order on his phone and found that the young man was not going to the hospital.
Bai Ran ignored the driver and just stared straight ahead.
"Little brother, do you want to go to the hospital first?" the driver asked him enthusiastically.
"No," Bai Ran looked at the driver and said angrily, "Shut up and drive your car properly."
The enthusiastic driver stopped talking now and drove him to his destination in silence.
Bai Ran returned to where he lived before. He had some things left there and he needed to come back to get them.
Asking the driver to wait at the gate of the community, Bai Ran entered the community alone and went upstairs.
When she opened the room, there was still a smell of burning paper. That was the smell of burnt talisman paper when Bai Wan came to see her. There were also dried red candles and bloodstains beside the bed in the bedroom, making it look messy.
After Bai Wan found him that night, he left in a hurry and never came back, and naturally did not clean up the messy room.
At this moment, he rummaged through the messy room and found a box with a talisman on it. He opened the box and found a box of wax beads sealing bones. Seeing that everything was still there, he was satisfied and left with the box.
When walking out of the house, Bai Ran suddenly smelled a scent.
He has not yet come out of Bai Wan's shadow, and his thinking is very slow, but the sense of crisis he has developed over the years still allows him to sense the danger.
It was the smell of rotting flesh, very slight, but definitely not supposed to be here.
The smell of rotten meat came from the direction of the elevator. Bai Ran stopped at the door of his house. He struggled to pull out a few brain cells from his fear and thought about what he should do at this time. Five seconds later, he turned and walked towards the safe passage and chose to go downstairs.
After Bai Ran left, a monster covered with tumors stood at the elevator door and moved its nose hidden in the rotten flesh.
The only things left on him were human legs, and they were still wearing soft pajamas, but his upper body had swelled into the shape of a monster, as if a pair of human legs had grown on a pile of tumors. Not only did he have legs, he also had human eyes and a bloody mouth.
After noticing Bai Ran had left, he supported his huge body and slowly walked towards the elevator.
There was a man and a woman in the elevator.
At this moment, the door opened, and the woman frowned: "What's that smell? Did the people on this floor not throw away the garbage?"
The man also covered his nose: "Maybe one of the refrigerators is broken."
The monster stopped at the elevator door and did not go up.
The elevator door closed, and soon the elevator on the other side opened. It was empty, so he walked in.
Bai Ran left the corridor, and the monster stepped out of the elevator and followed him.
Gangcheng is a prosperous city, and Bai Ran's residence is not far from the business district. Even in the middle of the night, there are still a few people in the community. The monster stood in the green belt, avoiding people and followed Bai Ran until Bai Ran got in the car.
"It seems like there is something following you." The driver looked in the direction where Bai Ran came from. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that someone was following Bai Ran, but that person disappeared again.
Bai Ran shuddered suddenly and looked around.
"It seems I saw it wrong," the driver scratched his hair in confusion, then laughed when he saw Bai Ran's expression, "Little brother, so you are afraid of ghosts. What's there to be afraid of? As the saying goes, if you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. As long as you are true to yourself, no ghosts will come looking for you!"
Bai Ran stared at the driver's younger generation with his eyes wide open, almost staring a hole through him. When getting off the car, he took out a wax bead from the box and placed it on the back seat.
The driver drove away happily. After completing this order, he prepared to go home and rest.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a little cold. It might be because the car window was too open. Thinking of this, he closed the window, turned on the radio and started listening to music.
Suddenly, he saw an eye in the rearview mirror, a human eye. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned the steering wheel and slammed on the brakes. After stopping at the side of the road, he looked back suddenly.
The back seat was empty, with nothing in it, only a slight smell of decay wafting over.
The coldness also disappeared.
The driver was startled and broke into a cold sweat. He quickly wiped his face and muttered, "I've been driving too many cars at night and I'm hallucinating. Go back and have a good sleep. Go to bed early."
The driver turned the steering wheel and drove away quickly. He looked at the rearview mirror again from time to time. This time the rearview mirror was normal and nothing else appeared. He then breathed a sigh of relief.
I must have seen it wrong.
On the side of the road where he had just stopped, a monster covered in tumors and pus-filled sores stood there, holding a half-melted wax bead in one hand and a shapeless imp in the other.
He stood on the roadside, which was full of lights and people, with cars flowing in front of him. He looked at the direction where the drivers were going away, threw the little devil and the wax beads into his huge mouth, and slowly chewed and swallowed them.
After standing on the side of the road for a while, the monster slowly moved away and headed towards Bai Hengqing's residence.
In the autumn night, the temperature dropped and it was a little cold.
On a night like this, some people are shivering and calculating against others, while others are happily having dinner with friends.
Chi Shen felt that this was like a dinner party with friends, even though everyone was eating while he watched.
Starting with paper candies, Chi Shen felt that he could bring beautiful things to his friends. These friends of his in the old house had not tasted delicious human food for a long time, so he could make some for everyone.
The production process was very simple. Chi Shen searched for origami tutorials on the Internet, folded some fruits and other things and burned them for everyone. Chi Shen didn't know whether they liked it or not, but they seemed to be enjoying the meal. Even the headless ghost that had disappeared for a long time showed up and looked at them expectantly outside the door.
"Come in and sit down." Bai Wan greeted the headless ghost.
Although the headless ghost had no head and only a body, he still showed hesitation. He hesitated at the door for a long time, but finally walked in.
"He has no head." The red-clothed female ghost snorted and stretched out her only two hands to protect the food in front of her, "He can't eat it!"
Headless ghost: "Then let me smell it."
The red-dressed ghost: "You have no head, you have no nose, and you can't smell!"
Headless Ghost: "Then let me see!"
The red-clothed female ghost: "You too..."
Chi Shen watched them fighting and looked down at the teacup: "Are you really not going to come out and taste it?"
Under the teacup, the ghost face shrunk to the smallest size, pressed tightly against the bottom of the teacup and complained: "Is this your home? Is this the warmth you talked about before!"
Chi Shen looked at the female ghost in red who only had two hands and a head but was still protecting food, Bai Wan who was holding her own tablet with bloody handprints but was shaking with laughter, the headless ghost who had no head but was trying hard to express that he could eat, and the hand that stretched out from the cabinet.
Of course, there is also Ji Xingchen, the most normal person around him, who would almost look like a living person if he were not translucent.
"Isn't this very heartwarming?" Chi Shen said with a smile, "Look how happy they are."
The ghost face sank to the bottom of the teacup, staring blankly out of the cup, spitting bubbles: "Gulp gulp gulp gulp gulp."
Sorry, he doesn't really feel like talking.
