Chapter 257 He Doesn't Believe in Evil
Jingzhi was in the room giving Kuku a score, but Zhu Jiu left the room and returned to the altar.
A Xiang's pig brain finally started working and he remembered who Gao Doudou was.
Isn’t Gao Doudou the sister of his elementary school classmate Gao Shaoshao? This is quite a coincidence.
The elder sister was at his house, and the younger sister was met by Jingzhi.
He climbed up the stairs stealthily, holding his breath.
According to his second uncle's vigilance, he should have discovered him by now.
But he didn't expect that when he reached the corner between the second and third floors, his second uncle was still doing something in front of the altar.
A Xiang's nose twitched slightly, and he was a little confused.
Why is Second Uncle burning talismans?
Before he could finish his puzzlement, he saw Zhu Jiu pick up the salt shaker that he had brought out from the table at some point and shake it into the bowl a few times.
Then he took out his chopsticks, stirred the talisman ash and salt a few times, drank three mouthfuls, and poured the remaining talisman water toward the stairs.
Ah Xiang took off his glasses, which were as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle, and thought he was unlucky. He wiped the salty talisman water off his head and face, and the doubts in his heart became even greater.
Isn’t this the method the Zhu family often uses to exorcise evil spirits?
Is his second uncle possessed by evil spirits?
For the sake of their uncle-nephew relationship, Ah Xiang brushed his wet hair twice and walked over, saying a caring word:
"Uncle, you...are you possessed by a ghost? What kind of ghost is so powerful that it dares to get close to you?"
Could it be that... Shao Shao sneaked out? The red-robed ghost is awesome!
He secretly glanced at the jar behind Zhu Jiu.
No, the talisman is not broken and the jar is still fine.
Zhu Jiu's expression changed slightly. He turned around and put the bowl back on the table. "It's okay. I'll study new spells."
"What new spell?" A Xiang asked curiously.
Zhu Jiu waved his hand impatiently at him and stuffed the salt shaker into his hand. "Don't you always dislike these? Go downstairs and take this to the kitchen later."
Seeing that Ah Xiang was still turning his head to look at the jar behind him, Zhu Jiu straightened his chest to completely block his view.
"You little brat, just stick your butt out and I know what you're up to. You want three years of bad luck? Don't think you can avoid my bad luck charm just because you're one of the Seven Stars of Heaven and Earth."
Speaking of this, Ah Xiang sighed loudly, "Second Uncle, isn't it said that the seven stars of heaven and earth are all blessed people? Why do I look like this? My girlfriend broke up with me again. I think I'm really unlucky."
Zhu Jiu glanced at him silently and said unhappily, "If you don't follow your uncle's bad habits, there's still hope. He's already addicted to gambling. If you get sucked into it again, I think our Zhu family will be completely finished."
I don’t know if it’s because my ancestors have been practicing Taoism and it’s been passed down to this day. As the saying goes, there will be a flaw in the fate of those who practice Taoism.
The Zhu family has few members and is isolated from women.
Zhu Ba has had no less than twenty ex-girlfriends from his youth to the present, but none of them worked out for him.
It's the same with Axiang. Even though his family is rich, he always breaks up with his girlfriend for one reason or another.
"Alas, I don't think there's any hope for me and Third Uncle. Don't we still have you in our Zhu family?" Ah Xiang smiled at him and said, "Just find a wife."
Zhu Jiu: “…………”
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Ah Xiang scratched his head and immediately picked up the words, "Forget it, there's no hope for you, I'm going down."
After saying that, he shrugged with the salt shaker in his hand, expressing his helplessness about the fate of the Zhu family, then turned around and walked downstairs.
Is there no hope?
It's just that he doesn't want to. He is different from the other two. He does it every day. Isn't he afraid of getting syphilis?
Zhu Jiu pursed his lips, squatted down, pulled out the cushion from under the altar, and got into a meditative posture in front of the ancestor.
Hearing the footsteps coming down the stairs, he suddenly said with his eyes closed: "Wait, go to my room and take down the small can of glutinous rice on the balcony."
Sticky rice?
Was there really an evil spirit in their villa? Why didn’t he hear anything?
Ah Xiang glanced at the figure sitting upright with his legs crossed, "Second Uncle, why don't you make that gesture anymore?"
Zhu Jiu raised his five fingers to his chest like a Buddha and said unhappily:
"None of your business, grab your things and hurry downstairs, or stay and meditate together."
"Okay, okay." He didn't want to meditate, so he might as well go back and watch TV.
A Xiang quickly pushed open Zhu Jiu's door and went in to get the glutinous rice.
As soon as I entered, I was startled by the dim environment.
Doesn’t his second uncle dislike drawing the curtains? Why did he draw them so tightly today? Did he really encounter a ghost?
After his eyes adjusted to the dim light, he fumbled for the switch on the wall.
The light came and the messy floor made Axiang stand still in shock.
What's going on with the glutinous rice by the bed and the window?
His second uncle's room was always tidy, when had it ever been so messy?
Forget it, just grab the things and leave quickly, otherwise his second uncle will ask him to sweep the floor.
He walked quickly to the balcony, picked up the glutinous rice on the small table, and just as he was about to leave, he saw the light on in the room opposite.
The one called Jingzhi was leaning over the table at this time, with a ballpoint pen stuck behind his ear, two more slanted in his hair bun, and another one in his hand, as if he was determined to fight to the death with the rice paper in front of him.
"Really? They're both weird."
After taking the glutinous rice, just as he was about to leave, Ah Xiang's eyes suddenly caught sight of the class schedule on the desk in Zhu Jiu's room.
He walked over and took a look, "It's Saturday...it's Gao Doudou's turn to go to class."
Didn’t Shao Shao ask him to tell her sister about her?
It looks like he's going to a calligraphy class tomorrow.
……
"Your dad is so tired!" Jingzhi stretched and tapped his sore back.
This small table is too short. She will have to go to the furniture market tomorrow to pick out a taller one to replace it.
She subconsciously turned her head and saw that the curtains next door were drawn, but the faint light coming through the gap told her that he was not asleep yet.
Jingzhi picked up the phone beside her and looked at it. It was 10:18.
Shouldn't he be sleeping by now?
"drop."
[Battery is low and will shut down in 30 seconds.]
Jingzhi picked up the paperweight to press down the piles of rice paper, took two quick steps to the bed, and hurriedly took out the charger from the drawer and plugged it into the bedside.
【Charging.】
Looking at the lightning logo in the upper right corner of the phone screen, Jingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
By the way, I haven’t told him yet that I will use the second floor of the villa tomorrow.
Just as she was about to get into bed, her obsession with cleanliness, which she had inherited from Lin Jiu, prompted her to grab her pajamas and go into the bathroom...
Twenty minutes later, Jingzhi came out wearing a light gray silk nightgown, smelling fragrant and soft.
She wiped her slightly wet hair and leaned against the bed.
After some thought, she finally called Zhu Jiu.
[Beep…beep…]
The phone on Zhu Jiu's bed buzzed, but no one answered.
Jingzhi frowned. Wasn’t he awake?
Why didn't you answer her call?
Could it be...that she accidentally violated some family rules today and he was angry?
Before sending a text message to Zhu Jiu, she sent a text message to A Xiang first.
[Hello, could you please tell me what the house rules are? I might be bothered by you in the future, so please be as detailed as possible. I will be more careful next time I visit.]
While waiting for Ah Xiang's reply, she pursed her lips and considered her words, then slowly typed a line of words under the recipient of [AAA The Straightest Wood in the World]:
Good evening, sorry to bother you. I'd like to use my audio-visual room and fitness equipment tomorrow. Is that okay? I'll keep them clean. I'm waiting for your reply! [Prayers together][Prayers together][Prayers together]]
Sending it this way shouldn't offend him.
After sending the text message, she turned off the light, lifted the quilt, and slid happily into the springy bed.
Ah, she finally has a spring mattress to sleep on and doesn't have to sleep on a hard bed anymore. That's so damn cool.
"Ding Dong~" "Ding Dong~"
In the dim light, a green light suddenly appeared at the head of the bed, and two text messages came in almost at the same time.
Jingzhi picked up her phone and first swiped out Zhu Jiu's reply.
【Can. 】
Concise and to the point, not a single word extra.
Jingzhi couldn't figure out his emotions from the words, so she put it aside and clicked on the text message sent by Axiang.
The thoughtful expression suddenly changed to the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.
Is this a family rule or a thesis?
It’s no wonder that Zhu Ba and A Xiang rebelled. Isn’t this Chun Chun’s release after suffering extreme oppression?
【1. Pornography, gambling, and drugs are strictly prohibited. Violators will bear the consequences at their own risk.】
【2,……】
……
[257. Additional rule: Do not disturb the tenants. Violators must leave Villa No. .]
Jingzhi swiped for a long time before he finally got to the last one.
She really didn't have the patience to read it, but her eyes were fixed on the last one.
Number one...is it the villa next door?
He looks indifferent on the surface, but his behavior is very warm.
Jingzhi's fingertips gently stroked the screen, and a chuckle inadvertently slipped out from between her raised lips.
She decided that she would go over and tuck him in tonight.
"Ding dong~"
Another text message came in.
Jingzhi, who was already feeling agitated, felt her heart skip a beat.
She suppressed her excitement and exited Axiang's message interface to take a look.
"What? It's still Ah Xiang's."
[Tomorrow I'm going to calligraphy class. Shao Shao told me that she was murdered by Naichai, the Thai drug king. She has evidence of Naichai's drug trafficking crimes and five million US dollars. She said her sister is in danger. Her sister is Gao Doudou. Your colleague, do you want to join us?]
A text message made her sit up in shock.
Drug dealing? Damn.
She's been at odds with drug traffickers for her entire life, right?
Jingzhi bit her lip tightly and replied to Axiang with "da da da".
[Go! Get up early tomorrow and don't let your uncle find out. I'll be waiting for you at the back door of the villa!]
As soon as I clicked send, I heard another ding-dong sound.
Another text message came in.
She thought it was another text message from Axiang, but when she opened it, her squinting eyes instantly widened.
[[AAA World's Straightest Wood]: A theater? I'm free tomorrow.]
what?
Huh? ?
What does he mean???
Jingzhi dropped her cell phone, ran her hands through her hair, held her head in her hands, at a loss, and her heart began to beat rapidly.
He, he, he, does this mean he wants to come over to watch a movie with me???
But she promised Ah Xiang...
But Zhe Gu's revenge...
But Doudou is in danger!!!
Oh my god! What should she do???
……
Zhu Jiu gripped the phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
The heartbeat seemed so loud that it seemed as if my ears were moved to my chest.
Zhu Jiu held her beating chest tightly with her right hand, pursed her lips, and the slippers on her feet scratched the glutinous rice scattered on the floor.
He just didn't believe it. This woman must be evil. He didn't believe in love at first sight.
Impossible, absolutely impossible! ! !
He would try her tomorrow!
Zhu Jiu exited the SMS interface and clumsily switched back to the Baidu interface, deleting his previous search records one by one.
The record is as follows:
[What does it feel like to fall in love at first sight?]
[Why do you feel familiar when you first meet a woman?]
[My heart occasionally beats irregularly. Is it palpitations?]
[Search for nearby authoritative cardiovascular and cerebrovascular hospitals]
[Telephone number of nearby authoritative cardiovascular and cerebrovascular specialists]
……
After deleting many messages, Zhu Jiu's eyes were fixed on the last one:
What are the signs of liking someone?
His fingertips paused slightly, but finally, he ruthlessly pressed the [X] next to it.
impossible!
How could one fall in love with someone after only knowing them for one day? He didn’t believe it!!
