After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld

The two of them dragged each other all the way to the restaurant.

Just now when Lu Yingjiu was in the haunted house, he didn't pay attention to it, but now that he was pulling like this, he felt that Jing Xian's hands were big and had distinct joints.

Pretty standard male hand.

Although in the previous 26 years, Lu Yingjiu never imagined that one day he would lead another man like this, walking on a path with no one in such an intimate manner.But to his surprise, at this moment, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, as if it should be

Jing Xian happily followed behind him, this time he finally stopped talking nonsense all the way, it was rare to keep quiet.

The wind at night is very comfortable, listening to the sound of play on the road in the distance, it will make people feel happy unconsciously.

This path is not very long, but Lu Yingjiu inexplicably felt that the time passed very slowly, even the wind and heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.

After a few minutes, the road ended and they were standing in front of the restaurant.

Lu Yingjiu let go of his hand and said, "Let's go in."

At this time, it was already past the meal time, so there was no need to queue up, and the two of them ate casually.

The food in this restaurant is pretty good, full of flavor and color.Even Jing Xian was still not very satisfied, saying that this dish must not be as delicious as his one, so he went back and made another exactly the same one for Lu Yingjiu to taste.

Lu Yingjiu said while eating, okay, okay, I never doubted your cooking skills, you can cook as many times as you want, as long as you don't waste it.

"It can't be wasted." Jing Xian said, "With your Mao Tuanzi here, throw all the extra things to it."

Lu Yingjiu took a bite of his meal, and said helplessly, "Don't continue to use it as a trash can, especially don't feed it all the harmful garbage and kitchen waste. The two-in-one trash can is not like this. I count Forget what you've fed it: skulls, giant spiders, roadside weeds and ginger."

"This is nutritionally balanced." Jing Xian swore, "I fed many monsters when I was in the ghost world."

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

He was very worried about the health of those monsters.

They said they wanted to stay in the amusement park for one night and continue to play in the water park tomorrow, but Lu Ying ate and drank and answered the phone.

It was someone from the Ye family calling.

They said something happened when they were investigating the spider mother, and they wanted Lu Yingjiu to go over as soon as possible to check.

Lu Yingjiu didn't want to go.

After finally going out for a trip, and rushing back to work, it will inevitably be a disappointment.

But the other party emphasized that this matter has something to do with Ye Deyong.

——From Ah Mei's mouth, the Ye family knew that Ye Deyong had resurrected people with the ashes.

Neither Lu Yingjiu nor Ye Feng mentioned anything about Ye Deyong, and they also talked about various details in a light-hearted manner.But when the pieces of the matter were slowly pieced together and more clues surfaced, the Ye family still found some clues.

It means yes, if you want to continue to hide the matter about Ye Feng, Lu Yingjiu still has to go back and lie.

Lu Yingjiu had a headache, turned on the phone, and saw a message from Ye Feng, saying that the Ye family would let him go tomorrow.

Lu Yingjiu held the phone and thought for a while, thinking about how to talk to Jing Xian.

Unexpectedly, Jing Xian was the first to realize that he was wrong, and asked: "What, is there something wrong?"

"...Yes." Lu Yingjiu nodded, "About Spider Mother and Ye Feng."

Jing Xian paused for a moment, and said, "Oh well, it's all right, let's go back quickly."

He added: "Anyway, I just checked. There are many facilities in the water park that are under maintenance. It may be better next time."

Lu Yingjiu suddenly felt guilty, knowing that Jingxian said this to let him not care.

He said, "Well, I will definitely come over with you next time I have time."

So they finished their meal and went back home without wasting any more time.

After leaving the amusement park, I gradually left the noise behind.

In the car, Lu Yingjiu continued to rely on the seat to catch up on sleep, to make up for his missing sleep time.While Jing Xian stepped on the accelerator, the sports car swept across the street at a consistent high speed, past countless bright lights, and went straight to the deepest part of the night.

And the deepest part of the night is not icy cold.

The two returned home side by side, turned on the lights, and the house was bright and bright.

As soon as he returned, Lu Yingjiu called Ye Feng to discuss what to say tomorrow so that he could continue to hide this matter.

In fact, the problem shouldn't be too big. After all, the two of them were there. A fire burned many things. Even if the Ye family felt suspicious, they wouldn't doubt it.

Before hanging up the phone, Ye Feng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something.

Lu Yingjiu asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Feng was silent for a while, and then said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'll go to bed first, I have to get up early tomorrow."

The phone hangs up.

Lu Yingjiu went to heat a glass of milk to drink.

He has always been used to drinking a cup of hot milk before going to bed, which helps him to sleep, but this time when pouring the milk, he hesitated for a while and asked Jing Xian, "Do you want a cup of milk?"

Jing Xian was originally sitting at the table, concentrating on playing with Mao Tuanzi, when he heard this, he raised his head and said, "Okay."

For the first time, Lu Yingjiu heated up two glasses of milk.

After handing Jing Xian a cup, the residual heat of the cup was still in the palm of his hand, it was warm and the heat lingered for a long time.

He drank milk and read a book in his room.

Soon it was eleven o'clock in the evening, and the lights outside were slowly extinguished, and the night fell into silence.

He turned off the lights.

Maybe it was because he was too tired from playing this day, and the quality of sleep that night was unexpectedly high, and he quickly fell into a deep dream.

The next day, he woke up early as he had agreed with Ye Feng.

Jingxian didn't need to sleep, he woke up early as usual, made breakfast, wontons were fragrant with chopped green onions in the bowl.

After Lu Yingjiu ate breakfast, Jing Xian habitually prepared to go out and sent him to Ye's house.

Lu Yingjiu said, "I don't need you to deliver it today."

"Why?" Jing Xian froze for a moment.

Lu Yingjiu smiled and said, "I don't need to bother you with everything, do I. And I haven't driven by myself for a long time."

Jing Xian said: "Then why don't you drive, I will sit in the co-pilot."

Lu Yingjiu insisted on going there by himself, but Jing Xian was not happy, so he went up to him and forced him to agree.

In the end, Lu Yingjiu was cornered by the door, forced to cede the land to pay compensation, was kissed on the side of the face, and was touched by Jing Xian several times on the waist, and finally opened the door in a hurry, with hot ears, alone ran out.

Before Jing Xian was unwilling to let him go, he gave him the car keys.

Lu Yingjiu got into the Land Rover, grabbed the steering wheel after a long absence, and drove the car out of the garage.

Different from his leisurely and casual attitude, his driving posture was very standard, he sat straight and looked ahead, behaved himself without making any mistakes, and drove to Ye Feng's home.

After picking up Ye Feng, the two went to Ye's house together.

Along the way, Ye Feng didn't talk much, and he didn't have much interest in speaking.

Lu Yingjiu felt that he was worried, so she comforted him and said, "As long as you don't admit it, no one will find out."

"... Mmm." Ye Feng was still uneasy.

When we arrived at the place, there was indeed a series of complicated procedures to go through.

The Ye family attached great importance to this matter, and asked them to explain various details in detail.

Lu Yingjiu was calm and composed, and he answered without any hesitation, no one would doubt him.He only took the part involving Ye Feng, answered the other parts truthfully, and helped analyze the talisman paper Ye Deyong had used.

Ye Feng doesn't talk much.

But he was in a bad mood, the Ye family knew it all the time, they only thought that he was sad because of Ye Deyong, and didn't pay much attention to it.

So, in the end, as Lu Yingjiu said, the Ye family didn't find anything unusual, and after thanking Lu Yingjiu who came here, they wanted to keep him for dinner.

Lu Yingjiu refused, hugged Ye Feng and said with a smile, it's good for them to go out to eat.

After getting in the car, Lu Yingjiu randomly searched for nearby restaurants with high ratings, and asked, "How about hot pot or barbecue? Or, do you want something lighter?"

Ye Feng still didn't speak.

After a while, he said: "It's all right, you can decide."

Seeing that he was still depressed, Lu Yingjiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, they didn't notice."

Ye Feng stared out the car window for a while, and then said: "Do you still remember two months ago, when your firm was first established?"

"Well, what's the matter?" Lu Yingjiu asked.

Ye Feng took several days off at that time, running up and down every day, either helping him move or arranging things for him, which helped a lot.

It's been a long time, and he doesn't know why Ye Feng brought this up again.

Ye Feng paused for a while before saying: "At that time, I was very angry that Chen Zheng's gang of idiots forced you away just like that. But at the same time I was angry, I was also a little worried that you would open your mouth and let me join your firm. The Blue Lantern Society has always been the strictest ghost exorcism organization on the road, with good pay, high benefits, and a lot of entrusted resources, anyone would want to sharpen their heads and join."

He continued: "Unlike you, my talent for exorcising ghosts is mediocre, and it's a piece of shit luck to get to where I am today. If I were to change places, I'm not gold, so I might really have no chance to develop. "

"Of course I know that with your reputation, there will definitely be various commissions. So, after thinking about it, I think the key reason is not that I worry about the future, but that I have always been a very cowardly person and dare not To challenge the unknown and instability, dare not take any risks, even if the consequences are completely acceptable to me."

Lu Yingjiu paused for a while.

Then he said: "I still say the same thing: Everyone has their own life. You don't have to give anything for me. Of course I would be very happy if you would come and join me. Even if you don't, you will help me a lot Now, I will definitely not feel disappointed or sad—or in other words, this level is just right."

"If you don't say it, I won't think so much at all, and there's no need to set myself too high a standard."

Ye Feng smiled wryly: "Yes, yes, I understand what you mean."

"It's just that I have thought about it carefully in the past few days, the matter of my being resurrected."

Ye Feng took a deep breath: "In fact, several times, I mustered up the courage to talk to my family. I put my hands on the dial key, but I couldn't press it, and finally turned off the phone very cowardly."

"No matter what, I'm still me, without any fundamental changes. I'm so scared that I always like a comfortable life, I'm too scared to change, and I'm too scared to tell the truth."

Lu Yingjiu said: "Then don't say it. If you really can't bear it, just wait for a while, if you can't do it in a month, you can wait for a year, if you can't do it in a year, you can wait for ten years, until the day you are ready. "

"...Yeah." Ye Feng nodded lightly, "I think so too. But before that, I think I should work hard to change it, otherwise I might not be able to say it until I die."

He pointed to his mobile phone and said, "Just before I saw you, I had already called the Green Lantern Club, and I was about to resign."

This time, Lu Yingjiu was stunned.

Ye Feng said: "My condition is very bad. For a while, I don't want to touch the business of exorcising ghosts. Every time I see the talisman paper, I always think of my second grandfather, that village, the nursing home and those spiders..."

"I've already found a psychiatrist, and I'm going to adjust slowly. The pace of the Blue Lantern Festival is too fast, and I thought at this moment, just muster up the courage, resign and take a break-this may be my best chance gone."

He smiled: "Didn't you say that there is one less bartender in the bar? I have learned bartending for a while. How about it, Boss Lu, do you want to hire a cheap bartender like me?"

Lu Yingjiu was stunned for several seconds.

Then he smiled: "Since you've thought it all over—of course. You have to work hard and don't drive away all my single-digit guests."

"Of course, my craft is actually very good." Ye Feng finally showed his first smile today, which can be called from the heart, "And I also want to see Amei. No matter what, I still want to tell her Know the truth and apologize to her."

"...Okay, she's in the bar, you can see it if you pass by later." Lu Yingjiu said, pointing to the navigation device, "So, new employee, what do you want for lunch today?"

"Hotpot, hotpot!" Ye Feng leaned back in the chair comfortably, and finally let go of his heavy mind, "I haven't eaten like this for a long time!"

So they found a hot pot restaurant nearby.

Slices of meat were laid out neatly, meatballs and shrimp slipped together, surrounded by lettuce.The bottom of the red oil pot tastes spicy and spicy, and the spicy taste is mixed with the aroma of meat and oil.

The two of them ate to their heart's content.

Ye Feng said that he was a new employee who came through the back door, and he would definitely treat the boss to a meal, so he insisted on paying the bill.

After dinner, Lu Yingjiu and Ye Feng went to the bar together.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw Amei's eyes light up, and she raised her head and said, "Welcome... Oh, it's you."

She was visibly disappointed.

Lu Yingjiu laughed and said, "Why are you so disappointed."

Amei said: "I have been looking forward to having guests for several days, but there is no one. I thought you were guests."

Lu Yingjiu said: "Afterwards, if we do some publicity, there will definitely be people coming."

"That has to be done." Amei complained, "Why don't you be in a hurry as the boss, I am in a hurry. In this way, I will help you plan how to promote it."

Lu Yingjiu laughed and said that you are the best.

After saying a few words like this, he looked back at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was still very uneasy in front of Amei, the uneasiness was almost written on his face.

After all, Amei is the only survivor in the village. If it wasn't for the spider mother, she would have gone to college a long time ago, and she wouldn't have turned into this inhuman and ghost-like appearance.She had ruined half of her life because of the spider mother, and she had hidden a lot of regret and resentment.

Amei looked at the two of them, and finally realized that the atmosphere was not right, and asked in confusion, "What's the matter, what's the matter with you?"

Lu Yingjiu pointed to Ye Feng, and under Amei's puzzled eyes, said to her: "He has something to tell you."

After speaking, he took two steps back, patted Ye Feng on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "I'll avoid it for a while."

Ye Feng nodded, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to step forward.

Lu Yingjiu left the bar.

He leaned against the railing of the corridor, waiting for the two people in the room to finish talking.

The sky was blue, and he half-closed his eyes to see the white birds flying past in the sky, and the sun fell warmly on his body.

A few minutes later, his cell phone rang.

He opened it and saw that it was from Jing Xian: [Why have you been out for so long? 】

It seemed that he was impatient, since he had only been out for less than five hours.

Lu Yingjiu smiled subconsciously, briefly explained the situation to him, and said: [I'll be back soon]

[How long will it take to come back? 】Regardless question.

【I don’t know, maybe two or three hours】

【It’s been so long, I’m here to find you】

Lu Yingjiu replied: [Don't be so impatient, have the flowers at home been watered? 】

【Pouring】

【Did you feed the cat? 】

【Hey, I also swept and mopped the floor, wiped the window sill, and dismantled the courier, but you haven't come back yet】

Through the screen, Lu Yingjiu could almost feel Jingxian's resentment.

He hooked the corner of his mouth and simply made a phone call.

Jing Xian picked it up in a second, and urged him to come back as soon as he opened his mouth.

Lu Yingjiu said don't worry, don't worry, I'll be back soon, I'm waiting for Ye Feng now, isn't this chatting with you?

Only then was Jing Xian satisfied, and told him that the cat at home and Mao Tuanzi started fighting again, because Mao Tuanzi was stealing its cat food.The result of this battle was that Mao flew all over the room, and he had just cleaned the floor.

Lu Yingjiu was heartbroken for a while.

He had only been walking for half a day when the two brats in the family started fighting, and the other parent obviously didn't care - he even suspected that Jing Xian played a role in fanning the flames.

The two of them just chatted like this, talking about irrelevant topics, without rushing, even if there was a brief silence, they didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Lu Yingjiu looked up at the sky.

It's still blue.

He thought to himself, it was as blue as the sky seen on the roller coaster.

I don't know how long it took, and there was a sound of opening the door behind him.

Ye Feng came out.

Lu Yingjiu said goodbye to Jingxian and hung up the phone.

As soon as he put down the phone, he saw the text message.

It was from Chu Banyang.

He stared at it for a few seconds, then raised his eyes and asked Ye Feng, "How is it?"

Ye Feng took a long breath: "She didn't say anything."

Unexpectedly, Ah Mui didn't break down and curse him.

She wasn't even angry. After listening to Ye Feng tell the truth, she just sat on the sofa for a long time in a daze.

After a long silence, she said, "It's okay. Ye Feng, it's okay."

"I won't hate you, and I won't hate you. Although I may never let go of my hatred for Ye Deyong in this life, it's not your fault."

"I would really like to see that you can puff up your chest like me, live upright, and welcome a new life."

She smiled at Ye Feng.

The sunlight outside the window shone in, making her twisted braids black and shiny, and her broken hair shone golden under the light.

At this moment, Ye Feng stood in front of Lu Yingjiu and closed his eyes: "When she said that, I almost cried."

He sniffed.

Lu Yingjiu laughed.

It really couldn't be better to have such a result.

He asked Ye Feng again: "Do you want to stay here or go home?"

"...I'll keep it for a while." Ye Feng rubbed his face and said, "Take an inventory of what wine is on hand. If it's not enough, I'll go buy it. I can show you my craftsmanship tonight. How about you? Are you going home?"

"No, I'm going to Chu Banyang's place." Lu Yingjiu said.

Ye Feng was a little surprised: "Chu Banyang? That's really a rare visitor, what does he want from you?"

"I don't know either." Lu Yingjiu shook his head, "In short, he just said that he wanted to discuss something with me."

Ye Feng muttered: "I didn't expect you two to get along in harmony, I hope you won't fight..."

"It's okay," Lu Yingjiu said with a smile, "Anyway, he can't beat me, so I won't suffer."

……

Ten minutes later, Lu Yingjiu appeared at Chu Banyang's home.

Chu Banyang opened the door for him.

I don't know if Chu Banyang seldom invites people to come to the house, and he is still unfamiliar with people, so his expression is a little reserved.

He said: "This house is very small, and the layout is a bit crude. I usually come here casually, and I don't live here permanently."

Lu Yingjiu looked at the detached villa in the center of the city, extremely luxurious, and said, "You are old Versailles."

Chu Banyang obviously didn't surf the Internet often, so he didn't understand, but his arrogance didn't allow him to ask.

They entered the house.

The inside of the house is as luxurious as the outside, with chandeliers, famous paintings, bust sculptures, full of sparkling coquettish atmosphere.Lu Yingjiu sat on the sofa, listening to Chopin's Nocturne echoing in the living room.

It's not like a normal person's home anyway.

Except for the bedroom on the first floor.

It was probably where Chu Banyang used to live when he was a child.

The bedroom door was open, and Lu Yingjiu saw that there were children's things inside, small beds, children's desks, and low bookshelves... It seemed that no one had lived in it for many years.There are awards posted on the wall, and there are trophies on the table. There are many types, from the kindergarten sports meeting to the junior high school chemistry competition, all of them have Chu Banyang's name written on them, and they are all No.1.

Chu Banyang noticed his gaze and froze for a few seconds.

Then he walked over quickly, closed the door, and coughed: "It's all because of my dad."

"It's pretty good." Lu Yingjiu said, "I didn't expect you to win the Kindergarten Big Eater Championship."

Chu Banyang almost fell down.

Lu Yingjiu laughed and said, "So, what do you want to tell me?"

Mentioning this matter, Chu Banyang breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat on the sofa opposite him, looked at Lu Yingjiu seriously and asked, "Do you know the name 'Chu You'?"

The name seemed familiar, but Lu Yingjiu couldn't remember who it was.

He shook his head: "I don't know."

Chu Banyang said: "Chu You used to be the head of the Chu family, and he had a good relationship with my father. Later, he got dementia, and his family has been treating him for more than ten years, and they didn't let him go anywhere."

He continued: "In the first half of this year, he suddenly became seriously ill and was bedridden. He babbled nonsense every day, talking nonsense that no one could understand. Even if his own son went to see him, he would not recognize him."

"Half a month ago, his old man couldn't bear it anymore and passed away. Before he died, his son happened to be away, and I was with his family in front of his hospital bed."

Lu Yingjiu listened carefully.

Chu Banyang said: "At the end he suddenly became conscious for a moment."

"He probably regarded me as his son, and pulled me to ask if I knew Lu Yingjiu."

Lu Yingjiu was stunned.

A cold feeling ran up his spine like a poisonous snake.

Chu Banyang said: "Then he said, if you know Lu Yingjiu, you must tell him that his time has come." He looked at Lu Yingjiu, "So I thought I would find a chance to tell you. But, Chu You You suffered from dementia more than ten years ago and have never been out of the house, how did he know you?"

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Chu Banyang realized something: "Aren't you clear about the situation?"

"...Yes," Lu Yingjiu said, "I don't know either."

Chu Banyang was surprised.

But Lu Yingjiu didn't want to explain anything to him.

Seeing that he was restless, Chu Banyang also understood that something was wrong, and said, "Wait. Wait until I find something."

Lu Yingjiu stayed in the living room, Chu Banyang went upstairs, and moved a lot of things away, not knowing what he was looking for.

After more than ten minutes, he came down holding a rectangular box.

The black box was not big, but it looked very heavy, and it took a lot of effort to hold it with his arms.

Lu Yingjiu had already forced herself to calm down, she raised her head and said, "Do you want me to lift it aside for you?"

"No." Chu Banyang flatly refused him.

Lu Yingjiu followed him, seeing that he insisted on moving it by himself, struggling down the steps and walking forward.

Unlike the gorgeous decoration above, the basement they went to was dimly lit, and the walls were covered with spells—they were all secret spells of the Chu family.

Lu Yingjiu was a little surprised.

Although it was impossible for him to understand these spells in just a few glances, Chu Banyang was too relieved of him.

The structure of this basement is very strange. It is obviously a large space, but seven or eight walls have been built.The door was in the middle of the wall, and it was also plastered with charms. There was nothing between the walls, only a narrow gap.Open a door, followed by another door, layer upon layer.

Finally, after opening the eighth door, they came to a circular area.

There are dark red spells on the ground, all the way around, gathering in the center of the basement.Chu Banyang carefully placed the box in the middle, and took a few breaths.

Lu Yingjiu asked: "What is this box? Is it a family heirloom or your dowry?"

Chu Banyang said: "It's the ashes of the ancestors of the Chu family."

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

Lu Yingjiu said: "No wonder I'm not allowed to touch it, it's because I'm afraid I'll throw your great-grandpa down."

Chu Banyang corrected: "Not only grandpa, grandma is also inside."

Lu Yingjiu: "...Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

It turned out to be a family bucket. "

For the next ten minutes, he watched Chu Banyang squatting next to the Chu family's bucket and fiddled with something.
