I Can Absorb Spiritual Contamination

Chapter 11: Home visit



   "This is your home?"

   After an hour’s long journey, Teacher Xie, who finally rushed to the student’s home for a “home visit” at 6:30, pointed to the single-family villa in front of him and asked.

   It is exquisite in style, covering an area of ​​more than 150 square meters, with real stone lacquered exterior walls.

   The first and second floors are distinct, and the third floor is a tower-shaped roof with a solar water heater, which shines under the sky full of stars;

   In addition, the small courtyard that comes with it is about 100 square meters. In addition to the main road, which is poured with cement and is about two meters wide, the vegetable gardens on both sides are planted with seasonal vegetables.

   Near the gate, there is even a simple chicken shed, with a dozen fat laying hens, chucking while looking at the stranger in front of them.

   Xie Yao suddenly felt poor.

   How scarce the land resources are in the city of Anding, but looking along the way, there are almost all such villas in this area.

   Compared to this, Xie Yao felt that the 60-square-meter apartment he rented was a beggar’s den!

   How rich is this student’s family?

  "Thank you, there is a lot of cultivated land in the North District, and houses with courtyards of this kind are everywhere, and they are not valuable.

   "The location is very remote, more than five kilometers away from the nearest market."

   probably seeing Xie Yao's expression, Xu Yan explained it indifferently.

   Xie Yao is noncommittal.

   Heh, big dog family.

   How can I comfort myself, Si is a shabby room, but Wu Dexin?

   But soon, Xie Yao noticed a problem.

   There are no funerals hanging in the yard, which is not in line with local customs, because the promises have been dead for a whole day.

  According to the local saying, if someone in the family dies, the funeral must be arranged the day before. Even if it is not a big deal for seven days, at least a few wreaths will be placed in the yard and a spiritual position will be placed.

   I would like to invite all the young and old in the village to come over to eat and help.

   Since the school has sent people, there must be arrangements for this, but I haven't seen it now.

   It must be the hostess Jin Qingxi who refused.

   What does she think?

   Xie Yao was puzzled, dressed in simple home furnishings, wearing an apron, and holding a vegetable spoon in his right hand, Jin Qingxi opened the door at once.

   "Ah, you are finally here! Come in and sit down, Xiaoyan, go and pour tea for Teacher Xie. Let's have dinner before discussing business affairs." Jin Qingxi greeted.

   "I see." Xu Yan walked in first, bored.

   She looks much more normal than in the afternoon... I was about to hold my fist and politely... She might have stewed chicken soup in the evening...

   Xie Yao stayed quiet, stopped his movements in advance, and glanced at the chicken coop.

   entered the door, and on the right hand side was the living room. There were sofas, coffee tables, cabinets, and a pile of newspapers on the cabinets.

   On the left is the larger hall, and inward is the dining room, kitchen, storage room, and the innermost stairs.

   The layout of the entire first floor is decent, with distinct levels.

   "Thank you, the dishes are cold. I'll heat it up. You have a cup of tea and wait a while." Jin Qingxi's voice came from the kitchen.

   Xie Yao sat down on the sofa and flipped through the newspaper at will.

   There is nothing new under the sun, and the same is true of today’s newspapers.

   is nothing more than bargaining at the opening of some pubs, a fight broke out in a certain place, and a new base was opened outside the city. Residents of a certain community complained that the roadside breakfast stall was too noisy, the price of the food market today, etc.

  There is a piece of information mixed in it, and it has been in the newspaper for several days, which is a missing person notice:

   Sheng Tangtang, female, 18 years old, ran away from home seven days ago and has not returned. Those who provide the truthful information will be rewarded with 100,000 federal currency.

  With a photo, I can see that she is an extremely beautiful woman.

   "100,000? A rich man, whose surname is Sheng, so powerful and powerful, isn't it the one who is in charge of Deng Sheng's family?"

   In the entire Yuanzhou area, in addition to the federal government, the most powerful families can be counted with one hand. They are nothing more than the Tang family, the Sheng family, and the Jian family.

The    Sheng family claims to have the magical "Xuan Deng", and each generation has a "Lan Lantern".

   Rumor has it that the first generation of lamp holders, the ancestor of the Sheng family, was a fierce man who single-handedly repelled a large-scale A-level demonic wave.

   can let the Sheng family spend huge sums of money to find someone, this Sheng Tangtang must be a direct line, ran away from home, is it... escape marriage? Haha.

   Xie Yao speculated maliciously, looked at it, put down the newspaper, turned his head, and looked into the hall.

   The hall didn't turn on the lights, but two white candles were lit. The whole room was dim. There were a few chairs and a table around.

   There is a small coffin in the center, the lid is open, and there are some clothes that were promised during his lifetime;

A few baskets of paper money ingots, an iron basin with some ashes in it, and a few unburned paper ingots are stacked next to   .

On the    table is a mahogany sword and a large copper bell.

   It seems that Jin Qingxi has not forgotten his purpose, and has really prepared all these props.

   "What are you looking at?" Xu Yan asked. She had just made a cup of tea and put it on the coffee table, with an excessive amount of black tea leaves spinning in the quilt.

   Xie Yao looked at the tea cup, suddenly showing a nervous expression, lowered his voice and said, "Have you heard some strange and mysterious sounds recently?"

  ! Xu Yan's expression had obviously changed, and she lowered her body and asked, "What kind of voice are you talking about?"

   "Like, that."

   Xie Yao pointed to somewhere in the hall, "That old lady, since I came in, she has kept her head down. I don't know what she is talking about. Have you heard what she is saying?"

   Xu Yan instinctively followed the direction of his fingers.

   There was no one in the hall, only the shaking flame, which grew the shadow of the coffin.

"……No one."

   Xu Yan turned her head stiffly, her face pale, and she shrank to Xie Yao, as if thinking of something, and quickly asked: "That old lady, what does she look like?"

   "Well, she has a head, two eyes, and a mouth." Xie Yao's voice suddenly became very soft, as if it came from a very far away place.

   Two eyes, one mouth...

   Xu Yan suddenly felt cold on her back.

   At this moment, the rich fragrance came out, and Xu Yan was so irritated and afraid.

   "Thank you, teacher, be a good example and scare students, this is not good."

what? !

   scared me

  Damn! you are not human!

   Xu Yan reacted and almost cursed, but fortunately, she has strong self-control and controlled it.

   I really believed it just now!

   Xie Yao didn't blush, he looked inside and saw Jin Qingxi put a bowl of chicken soup on the table.

   She has taken off her apron, Shi Shiran owes a bow: "Let you wait a long time, and the concubine will pay you first."

   "..." Xie Yao.

  What is she doing? She is starting to be strange again?

   "Please sit down, and my concubine will go and serve you food." Jin Qingxi hung the apron behind the door.

   "Oh, it's so polite."

   Xie Yao quickly took a sip of tea courteously, while taking advantage of Jin Qingxi's time to get the bowls and chopsticks, he leaned in and whispered: "Your mother is sick, and it's starting again."

  ? ? ? Xu Yan was stunned, your mother was sick!

   She was frightened by Xie Yao just now, but the fire hasn't disappeared, so she can't wait to trample him to death on the spot.

   The most annoying thing is that at that moment, I still think what he said is true! My mom is really sick!

Xie Yao added: "I found out that she was quite normal when she wore an apron, hiss! I know, that apron is a magic weapon that can seal the evil forces in her body, ha ha, your mother seems to be a strong person, she can’t hide it deeply. dew."

   Okay, I think you are also sick...

   Xu Yan silently gave him a blank look, did not answer any more, sat in her seat and waited for the meal.

   Xie Yao glanced at the table, four dishes and one soup.

   soup is chicken soup, he guessed it, it really was an old hen stewed, the meat is tender and steaming

   The four dishes are fried sliced ​​radish, fried greens, tofu, and scrambled eggs. There are meat and vegetables, which are very rich.

   "The appearance is good, the craftsmanship is very good, it looks no worse than the average chef..."

   While talking, Jin Qingxi had already filled three bowls of rice and came over.

   A bowl was placed in front of Xu Yan, another bowl was placed on the right, and a larger public bowl filled with repeatedly compacted rice was placed on the main position.

   Jin Qingxi opened the chair and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xie, the hospitality is not good. Please come to your seat and try the craftsmanship of the concubine!"

   Such gestures and words, changing to others, it must feel a little uncomfortable, this meal is definitely not good.

   But who is Xie Yao?

   He sat down and took the chopsticks from Jin Qingxi's hand, and he would not hesitate to touch her hand. He picked up a large piece of chicken thigh and stuffed it into his mouth.

   "Hey! It smells so good!"

   "..." The air was suddenly filled with the sound of chewing.

   "Don't just look at me, eat quickly." Xie Yao said vaguely while eating.

   Jin Qingxi showed a happy expression and said with a smile: "Teacher Xie doesn't dislike it, so eat more quickly."

   As she said, she pulled off the other chicken leg and clamped it into Xie Yao's bowl.

   If she doesn't look too young, this action must look like a kind elder.

   But now, she looks like a gentle wife who serves her husband.

   Xu Yan watched the two chicken drumsticks that should have belonged to her and her brother in the past, falling into Xie Yao's bowl one after another, and she suddenly felt a little sad.

   "Brother..."

   At this moment, Xie Yao suddenly grabbed the chicken leg that had not been eaten, and slapped it on the left side of the table, where no one was sitting.

Snapped!

   "Come on! You eat too!"
