Chapter 75: Pure Yin Fate, a Special Moment
The breakfast restaurant that Chen Junhao took Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can to was not small in size. The decoration exuded a hint of classical flavor from time to time. The prices of the dishes were reasonable, not extremely expensive, but not particularly affordable either.
Lin Zhuyue felt that the food would definitely be delicious.
Because there are many people in the breakfast restaurant, young and old, this kind of place that is loved by both young and old must have the most important soul for a restaurant - taste.
The restaurant owner was somewhat familiar with Chen Junhao and asked:
"Hey, Lao Chen, where are your wife and daughter?"
"I'll pick it up right away."
Chen Junhao said to the restaurant owner,
"These two are my friends from out of town. Please arrange a private room and let them order. Remember to recommend our signature dishes to them. Oh, and please also order the ones my wife and kids like."
The restaurant owner agreed: "Okay!"
"Ms. Lin, Mr. Shi, please go to the private room first."
Chen Junhao still held the car keys in his hand, and he explained,
"I'll go home and pick up my wife and kids. If I'm late, you can eat first and don't have to wait for us."
The restaurant owner said to Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can:
"Come with me, you two. The private room is on the second floor."
Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can looked at each other, then followed the restaurant owner upstairs. Lin Zhuyue asked:
"Boss, are you familiar with Mr. Chen?"
The restaurant owner waved his hand and said:
"Well, not really. He just often brings people here to eat. Once I got into trouble, and he was very enthusiastic to help me solve it. I don't know him well, but I can be sure that he is a very good person."
"His wife is so lucky. She's divorced and has children, but she still managed to find such a good man."
Lin Zhuyue asked curiously, "What did he do to help you?"
"Sorry, I can't tell you that."
The boss shook his head apologetically at Lin Zhuyue and said,
"I made an agreement with him to keep it a secret and not tell anyone."
The boss had already said it was confidential, so Lin Zhuyue didn't want to ask any more questions. She hated being repeatedly questioned about things she didn't want to talk about, so she didn't want to pry into other people's secrets.
While they were talking, they had already reached the door of the private room.
The private room the boss arranged for us was in the southeast corner of the second floor, called the "Xianglan Room." The room was spacious, well-lit, and airy, making it the best of all the small rooms on the second floor.
Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can sat down at the dining table. The boss poured them tea and handed them the menu. He first asked the two young guests if they had any dietary restrictions before beginning to recommend dishes.
"Our grilled fillet steak is delicious, and the ingredients are probably M5. The chawanmushi is also good and very fresh. The steamed dumplings and crab roe soup dumplings are also must-try..."
Lin Zhuyue ordered a few things at random.
Not long after, the dishes were served. Some of the dishes were not ordered by Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can, but were probably prepared by the boss for Sun Kunyao and Qin Siyuan according to Chen Junhao's request.
Less than two minutes after the dishes were served, Chen Junhao came back.
He walked in holding the hand of a little girl who was only four years old. Before the little girl could climb onto the chair, he said:
"Siyuan, we have to wash our hands first. We can come to eat after we wash our hands. Uncle will take you to wash your hands, okay?"
A woman with a sad face followed into the restaurant.
She is Sun Kunyao.
She lost her husband first, then her son, and now her only remaining daughter is also facing death. Life is extremely heavy and almost crushes her. She is obviously of the same age as Chen Junhao, but she looks more than ten years older than him.
Qin Siyuan, the twin sister, was coaxed by Chen Junhao to wash her hands. Sun Kunyao stood by the table, looking at Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can in despair and helplessness.
"Go wash your hands, too."
Shi Can poured himself another cup of tea and said,
"By the time the problem is solved, you'll have an upset stomach and have to suffer again. How unpleasant! Life still has to go on. Go wash your hands properly."
Sun Kunyao nodded and walked towards the bathroom in the private room.
When only Lin Zhuyue and Shican were left in the private room, Lin Zhuyue tugged at Shican's sleeve and pointed to the cabinet where the tableware and wine were placed.
In the small shadow cast by the cabinet, a gray-white little boy was huddled there, hugging his knees. He raised his head and looked towards the bathroom with dark, lifeless eyes.
The little boy looks familiar.
Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can had seen the photos in advance, and they had just met Qin Siyuan.
The little boy's face resembled Qin Siyuan's by 70%, and they were about the same age. If I was not mistaken, he should be Qin Siyuan's brother Qin Sibo.
Chen Junhao and Sun Kunyao quickly washed their hands. When they returned to the table with Qin Siyuan, Chen Junhao kept praising Qin Siyuan who was walking beside him:
"Our Siyuan is great, he washes it so clean."
Qin Siyuan was quickly coaxed into smiling.
Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can looked at the shadow beside the counter again, and they found that Qin Sibo, who had just been curled up there, had disappeared.
Everyone sat down and started eating breakfast.
Chen Junhao took good care of Sun Kunyao and Qin Siyuan. He kept picking up food for Sun Kunyao and taught Qin Siyuan how to eat steak.
After eating something, Chen Junhao asked casually:
"Where are Miss Lin and Mr. Shi from?"
Shi Chan replied:
"My household registration is in Shanghai, but my ancestral home is in Shandong."
Lin Zhuyue was about to speak when he frowned.
Shi Chan pinched her silently under the table.
Lin Zhuyue didn't say anything, and Chen Junhao didn't ask her any more questions. Instead, he continued with the next question:
"Do your families agree with you doing this to make a living?"
"Of course I don't agree."
Shi Can supported his face with one hand, with a faint smile on his face, and answered in a casual tone,
"Who would want their child to do this? When I wanted to be a spiritualist, my parents were strongly against it. My dad almost broke my legs. But I was persistent enough, and the income was pretty good, so they finally gave in."
Lin Zhuyue: "...?"
Chen Junhao showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly hid his emotions and said to Shi Can with a smile:
"At least I've gained my parents' understanding, so this is a pretty good result."
After breakfast, Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can took Chen Junhao’s car to the place where the supernatural incident occurred, which was the home of Sun Kunyao and Qin Siyuan.
There was not enough space in the car, so Sun Kunyao sat in the passenger seat and held her daughter in her arms.
Qin Siyuan sat obediently in his mother's arms and turned to ask Chen Junhao:
"Uncle, are we going to the end of the world?"
Chen Junhao drove the car while patiently dealing with the children with a gentle smile on his face:
"No, we are going to the starting point of the world. Do you know where the starting point of the world is?"
Qin Siyuan asked: "Where is it?"
Sun Kunyao explained the so-called "end of the world" to Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can who were sitting in the back seat, saying:
"This child discovered the Florida Peninsula while watching TV and was fascinated by it. It's called the End of the Land, but this child called it the End of the World. Every time she goes out, she asks if she's going to the End of the World."
Shi Can nodded and praised:
"That's good. I've always had a romantic streak since I was a kid."
Chen Junhao answered Qin Siyuan's question: "It's home."
It turns out that the starting point of the world is home?
When the little girl realized this, she was as happy as if she had discovered a treasure.
Chen Junhao brought Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can to the downstairs of Sun Kunyao's house. He helped them move their luggage and basic tool kit out of the trunk, and they took the elevator upstairs together.
When the elevator opened on the twelfth floor, Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can both heard obvious noises, including the buzzing sound of an electric drill and the sound of a hammer hitting something, bang and clang.
Chen Junhao explained to Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can with full apology:
"I bought a house upstairs, and I didn't like the renovations, so I tore it down and rebuilt it. It might be a bit noisy. If you find it noisy, I asked them to stop the construction for the next two days."
Lin Zhuyue replied: "It's okay."
Sun Kunyao opened the door and invited Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can in.
The decoration of the house can only be considered simple, but it is very comfortable. The house with light beige as the main color is kept clean by Sun Kunyao. The whole house is very bright and warm.
Lin Zhuyue stood in the house, scratching his head in confusion.
This doesn't feel like a haunted house at all.
"We need to take a look at this at home."
Shi Can took out the compass from the basic configuration tool kit.
"Is it okay to also check more private areas like bedrooms, closets, and bathrooms?"
Sun Kunyao agreed.
Of course she had to agree.
She invited Shi Can and Lin Zhuyue over to solve the problem. What's the difference between saying your wardrobe is private and not being able to see it in front of people like that and not wanting to lift your shirt to expose your chest during an EKG at the hospital? What a hypocrite.
After getting consent, Lin Zhuyue also picked up the compass and began to check under the guidance of Sun Kunyao.
There aren't many paranormal reactions in the house.
Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can found some reactions on Qin Siyuan's small bed, the big bed in the master bedroom, and the windowsill in the living room, but they were not very strong.
What is more surprising is that there are supernatural reactions in the toilet, and they are stronger than those in other places.
Lin Zhuyue looked carefully and found that there didn't seem to be any negative energy in the toilet. He then asked Sun Kunyao:
"Sister Sun, have you and your child ever encountered anything strange in the bathroom?"
Sun Kunyao shook her head and leaned down to talk to Qin Siyuan. After a moment of communication, Sun Kunyao replied:
"My daughter has never encountered anything strange in the bathroom."
Shi Can decided to investigate the restroom later. He approached Qin Siyuan and squatted down with the compass in hand. As expected, Qin Siyuan showed some psychic reactions, especially around his ankles.
"Something is indeed wrong with your family, but we still can't figure out what it is."
Shi Chan stood up and said,
"But since we're here, we won't let you be troubled by this kind of thing again. I'll set up a formation here tonight. With the protection of the formation, you won't encounter any strange things anymore, and at least you can sleep peacefully."
Setting up a barrier requires some things that are not included in the basic configuration toolkit.
Shi Can said to Chen Junhao:
"Mr. Chen, please go get me a pound of loose liquor with a 40% alcohol content and two ounces of cinnabar powder. Do you have any plastic wrap at home? If not, buy some. It should be at least one meter long."
Chen Junhao hesitated and said:
"...The company sent me on a business trip last minute, and I'm a bit pressed for time, so I have to leave now. I'll have a friend buy these things you want and send them over."
Not long after entering the house, Chen Junhao dragged his suitcase and changed his shoes at the entrance to go out.
Qin Siyuan trotted over and asked:
"Uncle Chen, where are you going?"
Chen Junhao replied: "Go buy you some candy."
Qin Siyuan asked, "You're not going to the end of the world by yourself, are you?"
Chen Junhao smiled and ruffled Qin Siyuan's hair:
"How could that be? You like Florida so much. If I were to go to Florida, I would definitely take you and your mother with me."
He kissed Qin Siyuan on the forehead, said goodbye to Sun Kunyao, and then left with his suitcase.
About two hours later, Chen Junhao's friend brought over loose liquor, cinnabar and thick plastic film.
Shi Can put on gloves, spread a thick plastic film on the ground, took out two layers of self-sealing bags of incense ash from the tool kit, and poured it all on the plastic film. He then mixed cinnabar powder into the incense ash and poured in white wine, mixing it evenly as if it were mud.
He didn't use much white wine, so the incense ash was only slightly damp and loose, and didn't become sticky.
Shi Can filled two jars with incense ash, one for himself and one for Lin Zhuyue. They began to work together, sprinkling the ash on the windowsill. Fortunately, Sun Kunyao's windowsills were paved with polished stone tiles, so cleaning up later wouldn't be difficult.
Shi Can also dipped some rootless water and drew some talismans on the windowsill. When the water dried, Shi Can's handwriting disappeared, but the talismans were left. If any ghost tried to enter from outside, they would be burned by the real fire on the spot.
After setting up the formation, Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can looked through the information together and asked Sun Kunyao some questions, trying to find clues from the clues that would allow things to progress.
"My sister is normal, but her brother has been very sensitive since he was a baby. When I say sensitive, I mean... the day before my husband died, he stood by the window and cried."
Sun Kunyao sat on the sofa, watching her daughter playing with the train track toy that Chen Junhao bought for her, and said,
"Before he fell from the building, he seemed to ask me if he could move immediately. I said this is a school district house and I can't move. If I agreed to him, maybe everything would be fine?"
Lin Zhuyue thought for a while and said:
"In our words, your son should be a very inspired person."
Shi Can always felt that something was wrong and asked:
"When were your two children born?"
Sun Kunyao replied:
"After eleven at night and before midnight. Both."
Shi Can stood up in a flash.
He picked up the folder that was on the coffee table in the living room.
Shi Can is not good at fortune-telling, but he is not completely ignorant of it.
When encountering strange tasks, Shican sometimes has to look for the reasons from the person involved.
Special horoscopes are sometimes the cause of misfortune.
Shi Can has the habit of converting the date of birth of the person mentioned in the information into the lunar calendar, and then marking the corresponding heavenly stems and earthly branches, so that he can get the first six characters of the eight characters.
If the first six characters are ordinary, Shi Chan will exclude the eight characters as the cause of the misfortune.
If it is very special, Shican will ask the person when he was born, complete the eight characters, and then see if it is related to the matter.
But just looking at the year, month, and day can sometimes lead to errors.
In ancient times, the midnight hour was from 23:00 of the previous day to 1:00 of the next day. Therefore, when calculating the birth date of a child born after 23:00 and before 0:00, the date should be counted as the next day.
For example, if you were born at 23:00 on January 1, 2001 in the lunar calendar, when converting the eight characters, you should calculate it based on January 2, 2001 in the lunar calendar.
Shi Can postponed the lunar birthdays of the twins, a boy and a girl, which he had previously marked, by one day and added the time.
Lin Zhuyue counted on his fingers and said:
"...All eight characters are Yin, which means a pure Yin fate."
Class 1, Grade 3 of the Advanced Department gave the "pure yin fate" a nickname, "Tang Monk's Meat".
The breath is delicious, and breathing it in can greatly increase spiritual power. Moreover, it is also a well-known soft persimmon in the surrounding area. It is delicious and easy to pinch, and is deeply loved by the ghosts. Therefore, the ghosts harass it in every possible way and even try to kill it.
Some living people also like pure yin destiny. The life of pure yin is often better, and the spiritual power is pure, which is perfect for changing luck and increasing lifespan.
Moreover, people with pure Yin fate are not only lucky when alive, but also have a bright future as ghosts. They have good aptitude and high upper limit. As long as the training method is appropriate, they may be able to get a piece of Minghui's clothes.
Sun Kunyao's understanding of pure Yin fate was not as specific as Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can's, but she had also heard of it.
Sun Kunyao stammered and asked:
"Does my child's matter have anything to do with this?"
