Chapter 16
Chapter 16
In the evening, guests came one after another.Not many people were invited, most of them were Xia Tingting's friends or some good business partners with Xia's seniors.
Those elders tactfully left space for young people, looking for a quiet place to communicate, chatting about business matters and household chores.
As a guest, Qingyi didn't need to follow along to receive her, so she ran to hide in the potted plants by the balcony.
Shang Changqi followed Qingyi closely, and whenever Qingyi stopped, he leaned his body against Qingyi.
Qingyi glanced at it, but didn't pay attention any more, her gaze stayed on Xia Tingting who was surrounded by her.Unlike in the afternoon, Xia Tingting is now wearing a long white dress with a tube top and light makeup, standing gracefully among the young people and communicating with the surroundings, she doesn't look ill at all, but the sadness in her eyes is still there.
Looking around, Qingyi did not find Qi Jia.
She picked up the walkie-talkie that Xia Yinglin gave her, and stretched the cord at the top, "Yinglin Yinglin, please reply."
Xia Yinglin originally planned to buy her a mobile phone to facilitate communication, but it was a pity that Qingyi couldn't keep up with the trend after staying on the mountain for too long, and it was difficult to control those buttons.So the mobile phone was transferred to Shang Changqi, and Xia Yinglin also equipped her with an old-fashioned walkie-talkie.
"Please tell me if you receive it."
Qingyi cast her eyes here and there, raised her hand to cover the intercom next to her mouth, and asked in a low voice, "Did you see Qi Jia?"
Shang Changqi on the side twitched the corners of his mouth, always feeling that Qingyi's appearance was the same as those undercover whistleblowers he saw on the boss's computer.
"Qi Jia isn't by Tingting's side?" The voice from the bb machine became more and more clear. Finally, Xia Yinglin came in directly from the balcony, a little helpless, "Master Qingyi, it's so close, so there's no need to use this?" Just less than three meters apart.
Qingyi pressed it back, put away the walkie-talkie, and explained solemnly: "I want to see if I can use it."
Only Shang Changqi, who was lying on her shoulder, saw her red ears.
The earlobe was red, and Shang Changqi touched it involuntarily, and Qingyi gave him a puzzled look.
"No, it's okay." Shang Changqi withdrew his hand and smiled obediently at Qingyi.
Qingyi withdrew her gaze, but her hand still involuntarily touched the walkie-talkie behind her.Just as she was thinking about how to play again, a gust of wind blew slowly by the balcony, blowing the floor-to-ceiling curtains, and blowing straight into the hall, rolling up the chairs and food placed there.
The sudden change made the young people who were still laughing at a loss, and some timid girls screamed.The elders next to him also gathered around, but they were also puzzled by this abnormal phenomenon.
"Sa—" Seeing a cloud of black mist rushing towards him, Qing Yi quickly pulled the Shang Chang away.
Qingyi took out a piece of talisman paper from her pocket, stepped on the vase next to it, jumped over, and did a backflip to stop in front of the black mist.
With a movement of her right hand, the talisman paper burned, and she quickly threw it towards the black mist.
After the talisman paper touched the black mist, it quickly smelled of burnt meat.
Qingyi was about to continue, but found that the cloud of mist had already left.She chased after him, but she was worried about something wrong, so she turned her head quickly, "Master Qi."
"I'll watch here." The yin-yang sail in Master Qi's hand moved automatically without wind, and the nameless gas surrounded everyone.
Qingyi nodded, jumped off the window, and disappeared into the night following the ghostly aura.
Later, Shang Changqi ran the stairs downstairs, and then chased downstairs, looked at the footprints on the ground, and ran to the garden.
Qingyi chased him out of Xia Zhai, but didn't know the way, so he chased him all the way into an alley.
At night, the street lights flicker, and there are few pedestrians, it always looks gloomy and windy.
Qingyi was about to divination, but suddenly heard a scream.
Without even thinking about it, she hurried to the place where the screams were, only to see that black mist was entwining a girl.
"Help!" Seeing someone coming, the struggling girl ran towards Qingyi quickly while waving her hands against the mist.
Qingyi quickly took out a piece of talisman paper and threw it over, clasped his hands together, rotated in the opposite direction, and separated his hands when the talisman paper touched the black object.
"boom--"
The talisman paper exploded in the center of the mist, and the black mist split into groups.
Qingyi bit her index finger, drew a few circles in the air, muttered words, took out a glass jar, faced some clouds of mist, and sucked it into the jar.
Qingyi took out two talisman papers to wrap the jar, and there was a "zizizi" sound from inside.
"What is this? A monster?"
Qingyi looked up and found that the girl hadn't left just now, and was looking at the jar curiously.
"No."
"By the way, my name is Zhao Hechun." Zhao Hechun bowed.
"Qingyi." Qingyi noticed that the jar hadn't made a sound, and lowered her head to lift the talisman paper.The talisman paper had zoomed, and the black mist in the jar had turned into white gas.
Qingyi lifted the lid and put the much smaller white gas into her mouth. After digesting it, her complexion became much ruddy.The refined essence of ghost qi is suitable for people like them who practice.
Looking at this scene, Zhao Hechun subconsciously touched the goose bumps on his arms.
Qingyi digested the little bit of ghost power, took out the talisman paper folded into a triangle and handed it to the other party, "I will carry this with me for three days."
The fingers in front of him were long and slender, and their skin color was not as fair as that of ordinary people. Zhao Hechun was stunned for a moment.
Qingyi raised her eyebrows, and put the paper talisman directly in the opponent's hand.
"Ah? Thank you!" Zhaohechun came back to his senses, and immediately wanted to dig a hole to bury himself, and bowed to Qingyi again with a red face.
Qing Yi turned her body sideways, "If you have nothing to do, go home quickly, and avoid such ill-lit alleys when it gets dark."
Zhao Hechun nodded, but the mystery in her heart made her eager to know the answer, "What was that just now?"
"Ghost energy dispersed by ghosts."
"Then you are a ghost catcher?"
Qingyi: "..." That's not the point, is it?Shouldn't the point be to ask why are there ghosts in the world?
"There are people around me who are superstitious, but I didn't believe it before, so I accepted it relatively quickly." Zhao Hechun shrugged, and quickly took out his business card, "Master, this is my business card."
With the intention of making more money, Qingyi quickly wrote down a number.
Zhao Hechun wanted to ask a few more questions, but the phone rang suddenly, so he could only talk to Qing Yi and left.
Qingyi turned around, and saw Shang Changqi not far away was staring at herself with puffy cheeks.
"What's wrong?" Qingyi asked a little confused.
"Who was that woman just now?" Shang Changqi said, raising his hand to touch his heart, always feeling something sour.
"A passerby who was attacked." Qingyi still held the business card in her hand, and handed it to Shang Changqi, "I wrote down your phone number, and she will contact you in a few days."
Seeing Qingyi's calm attitude, Shang Changqi felt a little better, "Why?"
"The secret cannot be leaked."
Qingyi approached, only to notice that Shang Changqi's clothes were torn, and frowned, "Are you being robbed?"
"No, it might have been hooked by the grass." Shang Changqi was no better at fortune-telling than Qing Yi, and almost followed his footprints, and sometimes squeezed out the grass for convenience along the way.
Qingyi thought about it carefully, and guessed what was going on, her heart was extremely soft.
"Go back and get the medicine first," she said.
When the two returned to Xia's house, they found that the atmosphere was a little dignified.
"What's the matter?" Qingyi looked, and all the guests were gone, only Xia's family and Master Qi were left, and Aunt Xia was holding onto the sofa and crying Xia Tingting's name.
"Tingting is gone." Xia Yinglin explained in a low voice.
It turned out that after Qingyi chased Shang Changqi out, the guests were afraid and found reasons to leave.It was fine at first, but after all the guests left, Xia Yinglin found that Xia Tingting had disappeared.
Qingyi frowned, "No one saw where she went?"
"A servant saw her go back to the room, but there was no one in the room. The mobile phone was on the bed. I watched the video, but I didn't see her coming out, and I couldn't find anyone after searching for half an hour." Xia Yinglin also sighed. There have been too many things happening at home in the past month.
"Did Qi Jia appear behind?"
"No."
Qing Yi raised her hand, "Give me a hair."
"doing what?"
"Do you want to find Tingting?" Qingyi raised her eyebrows.
Xia Yinglin quickly pulled out the root and put it in Qingyi's hands.
Qingyi picked up Xia Yinglin's finger, pricked a hole, then dripped blood onto her hair, wrapped it in talisman paper, closed her eyes tightly, and muttered something.
"Whoosh-"
The talisman paper in his hand caught fire and quickly burned to ashes.
The author has something to say: Shang Changqi: I frowned, feeling that my performance opportunity is coming again.
