The soul of the ex-husband

The new office is located on the second floor in a gloomy green alley in the old city, and the indoor lights have to be turned on during the day.

The office was still covered with dust, but it was already filled with old files. Xiao Qi was busy looking through the files recently, and even forgot to re-obtain the certificate.

Zhou Heng was very dissatisfied with this, but he didn't show it. He just sighed when he visited the class one time: "I'll be 28 after Chinese New Year. If I don't find someone to get a certificate, the [-] relatives in my family should urge the marriage."

How could Xiao Qi not be able to hear the hint, he was silent for a long time, and said: "You wait for me to be busy during this time."

"It's good that brother is busy with his own work, I don't matter at all."

"……I did not mean that."

"It's okay, I understand. What my brother needs is career, not love. If I want to stay by your side, I have to be obedient and obedient, and be the man behind my brother."

Nothing can arouse a straight man's desire to protect more than a stunning man expressing affection with a lonely face.

Although Xiao Qi could vaguely feel that Zhou Heng was playing tricks on him, he still couldn't control his heart, closed the file, and said: "Then let's get things done in these two days, which country do you want to go to?"

Zhou Heng glanced at the documents on the table and hesitated: "But I don't want to delay your work."

Xiao Qi supported his cheek with one hand, and when he looked at Zhou Heng, his eyes showed a trace of helplessness and doting, and said: "In front of the male god, everything is back. If you have nothing to do, we can..."

Zhou Heng took out his mobile phone, lowered his head to operate it, and said, "I've made an agreement, I don't regret it, there is a flight in two hours, and we will go to Denmark."

Xiao Qi: "..."

Is it planned for a long time?

This time only two people went abroad to obtain the certificate in a low-key way. Before going, Xiao Qi thought he could take the opportunity to visit the hometown of the Little Mermaid, but after receiving the certificate, he realized that he was too naive—— Zhou Heng locked him in the hotel room for two days and two days. At night, when he went out again, Xiao Qi could no longer stand up in various senses.

Anyway, it was an extremely shameful travel experience, and once again refreshed Xiao Qi's understanding of the word beast.

But as long as Zhou Heng shows weakness casually, Xiao Qi's sober cognition will start to become confused again.

After registering for marriage, Xiao Qi realized that he was with Zhou Heng again. It was obvious that their story started with deception, and he was ready for a divorce before, but in the end, the threads of fate were still intertwined.

"What are you thinking about?" On the return plane, Zhou Heng noticed that his mind was absent.

Xiao Qi slumped in the sofa chair, glanced at him, and said honestly: "I was wondering, did you plan it for a long time?"

Like a silkworm swallowing a leaf, it quietly invaded his life and occupied his heart bit by bit.

"It was love at first sight, and I read it for another nine years." Zhou Heng held up Xiao Qi's hand, played with the ring on it, smiled slightly, and said, "Daoist Xiao, my obsession is also very deep, so use some means. you do not mind?"

Xiao Qi suppressed the restlessness in his heart, clasped Zhou Heng's slender hand instead, looked out the window, and said, "Let's watch the sunrise together every day from now on."

A month later, the Unscientific Branch of the Cang City Police Department, which Xiao Qi was in charge of, got on the right track, during which time two cases were solved by the way.

It was rare for Shao Zhouyu to come to the branch office. He sat down across the desk and joked: "Not bad, I became the head of the office at a young age."

Xiao Qi sneered: "Do you think there is a second person here?"

Shao Zhouyu threw a stack of documents on the table, and said, "I found out the artisan you mentioned. There were signs of activity two years ago, and there was no corresponding identity certificate. When I chased him, he had already left."

"How did you find it?" Xiao Qi picked up the document and flipped through it, feeling that things would not go so smoothly.

Shao Zhouyu said: "He sent a card to the police station, and the technicians of our department extracted the powder of ghost orchids on it. The flower is very expensive, and there are not many people who breed it in the city. Finally, we traced it to a place in the eastern suburbs. Greenhouse."

Xiao Qi turned the pages at a glance, and saw the photo of the greenhouse that Shao Zhouyu said.The glass-made room is very transparent, filled with green plants and flowers, like a small forest. In the center of the photo hangs a carved cage, in which lies a dried-up yellow parrot.

Turning to the back, there is a card in the attached transparent bag, which is still a charcoal drawing. In the painting, there is an image of a crooked old man with a blurred face, walking in the fog.

Turning over the card, it is a familiar poem——

[After growing up, nostalgia is a narrow ticket, I am on this side, and the bride is on the other side.

Later, nostalgia is a short tomb, I am outside, and my mother is inside.

——Yu Guangzhong]

Xiao Qi knew that this was the craftsman's response to No. 77 of Jiazi Village.

Xiao Qi put down the document and said: "He deliberately asked you to find it."

Shao Zhouyu knocked on the table and asked, "Who is it?"

Xiao Qi said: "A lunatic, if he is not caught in a mental hospital earlier, there will be no peace."

Then, Xiao Qi tore off the file bag and shook it, saying: "Can you give me the card?"

Shao Zhouyu: "Take it."

The moment Xiao Qi opened the transparent bag, he could not help but froze when he smelled a trace of breath escaping from it.

Although the aura only lingered for a short moment, Xiao Qi could still smell the faint sandalwood aroma, but it was mixed with a dark and spicy evil, it felt... like a part stripped from Zhou Heng's body.

Xiao Qi understood that this was also a message intentionally left by the craftsman.

At the same time, at a remote ferry port in Cang City, the humming of steamboats spreads leisurely on the river.

A tall, slender man in a white suit and a white suit stood in front of the pier. The man was holding a delicate wooden suitcase in one hand and a seven or eight-year-old girl in the other.

The little girl was one-eyed, with a black blindfold on one eye, holding a dirty doll in her arms, watching the slowly approaching steamboat with the man.

When the ship docked, the man lowered his face to look at the little girl, and said in a low voice, full of patience: "For the next journey, let us complete greater creations together."

Before the man led the girl to board the boat, he looked back in the direction of Cangshi and said with a chuckle, "There will be a period later."

Zhou Heng, who was in the office building of the Nightmare Group, seemed to feel something in his heart. The breath around him fluctuated for a moment, and he looked out the French window without warning.

He sensed a faint echo from afar, and for some reason, he remembered the ghost Gu that escaped from the ancient well two years ago.

Xiao Qi leaned on the back of the chair, held the card up to the sunlight outside the window, looked at the traces of the paper, the characters printed on it were dark and powerful.

This is the interlude of the story, also known as the "beginning".

For everyone, this will be a new starting point, and the future is full of unpredictable events.

***

Near the end of the year, Nightmare Tapir's latest mobile game "Feng Shui Master" is about to be promoted. The success or failure of this game will have an important impact on the new CEO's year-end performance appraisal.

That is to say, whether Day Heng can be recognized at the board meeting depends on the performance at the end of the year.

Xiao Qi also knew the interests involved, so during the internal testing of the game, he actively mobilized people around him to play. Not only did he play every day, but he also watched Lu Xi play every day, hoping that the good-looking anchor would bring traffic to the game in the later stage.

During that time, whenever Xiao Qi was free, he would hold the mobile phone to play games and practice ranks, even taking the subway after get off work.

Unexpectedly, three days before the release of the game, the game was not popular, but Xiao Qi became popular first.

The reason was that Xiao Qi had been playing with his mobile phone on the subway after get off work for half a month, and was followed by a girl who was off work at the same time and on the same thread.

Xiao Qi was originally eye-catching and tall, and he was the focus of attention wherever he went, but he was always holding his mobile phone as a bow-headed person, so he didn't know that he had already become the object of attention of the entire carriage of women.

Xiao Qi has been sitting in the fixed train car. After the girl who was staring at him ran into him twice, she found a pattern and followed him silently for a week. One day, the girl couldn't hold back. She posted on the gossip forum group and posted 2 Describe before and after the encounter with a handsome guy on the number line, roll around and show cuteness and become a nympho, ask the opinions of the forum friends, whether to go up and ask for WeChat.

As a result, the few friends who read the post were looking forward to seeing the photos, and asked the girl to send a photo to see.

The girl saw that the post was not popular, only a few people were reading it, and she promised to delete it within 10 minutes, so she boldly took a photo of Xiao Qi and uploaded it.

Later, the situation gradually developed out of control.

After the photo was posted, a bunch of forum friends from nowhere poured into the post, and the popularity of the topic skyrocketed. The girl was dumbfounded. Before she could withdraw it, the photo had already spread to other social platforms.

In the photo that was crazily reposted, Xiao Qi looked up at the route map on the door frame when he heard the site broadcast. His face was sideways, and when he raised his eyes, he showed a casual look. The background was a neat subway car.Whether it is the man's demeanor, the environment background or the layout and composition, it is a natural scene of life, natural and comfortable, and because of the rare handsome appearance of the protagonist, it has won the favor of many netizens.

Originally, it was nothing. Xiao Qi kept a low profile and didn't take the subway for two days. He asked Zhou Heng to pick him up from work. There wasn't much trouble on the Internet. It just so happened that a picture of Xiao Qi's phone was captured in the photo, and some netizens recognized it. It is "Feng Shui Master" that will be released in the near future, so the photos have been transferred to the topic of "Feng Shui Master" by the nightmare.

The day before the Nightmare Tapir released the promotional photo, the director of the marketing department said with a smile during a meeting: "There is a subway guy who helped us get off to a good start."

Zhou Heng also knew what had happened in the past two days. Facing the exquisite celebrity endorsement album on the table, he was rarely silent.

The director of the marketing department found that the atmosphere was not right, exchanged nervous glances with colleagues, sat upright timidly, coughed twice, and said, "Heng, is there something wrong?"

Zhou Heng looked at the album for about half a minute, and in the suffocating silence, he closed the album and said, "Change the spokesperson."

"Huh?" Everyone questioned that they couldn't find Bei.

"Remove all the promotional photos of these celebrities." Zhou Heng raised his head, but he could not refuse in a relaxed manner, and said, "Replace with the photo that has been circulated on the Internet recently, and contact the original creator to ask for the copyright. "

"........."

In the eyes of everyone, Zhou Heng's decision is tantamount to fantasy.

After a while, everyone raised objections in one go:

"All channels are ready, now we will face unforeseen variables to withdraw..."

"The liquidated damages of those stars have already exceeded the project budget!"

"An amateur cannot drive the traffic we want..."

Anyway, after all, they are all expressing one meaning - CEO, no way!

Zhou Heng was unmoved, and only left a sentence: "That photo let me see life. Games are not the point, life is."

Playing games on the way to get off work is the epitome of millions of young people in the city, a small fragment of life, a photo is enough to convey the concept of Nightmare about games.

Facts have proved that Zhou Heng's decision is correct.

When everyone sees the promotional photos of "Feng Shui Master" on the website, subway, and LED screens in shopping malls, their first reaction is to be down-to-earth and have a sense of substitution.Some people interpreted that a large part of the success of "Feng Shui Master" was due to the use of a down-to-earth amateur photo as publicity.

Zhou Heng took office for half a year, relying on a mobile game to bring Nightmare Tapir back to the dominant position in the market, directly blocking those in the family who have different opinions have nothing to say.

At the end of March, Day Heng returned to Jinzhou to attend the shareholder meeting, and the Day family was the most prestigious family in the area.

Hearing that Zhou Heng was going back, Xiao Qi took the initiative to ask to go with him.

Zhou Heng found it interesting and asked, "Why?"

Xiao Qi said: "What if you can't beat that evil god?"

Zhou Heng thought for a while, he seemed to have something to say, but he didn't say it in the end, he just agreed to Xiao Qi, saying: "Okay, I will take you to recognize your ancestors by the way."

When he arrived in the deep mountains of Jinzhou, Xiao Qi really realized the exaggeration of the Zhou family. He saw the antique buildings surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the real estate under his name stretched all the way from the foot of the mountain to the side of the mountain. Even the people in the house looked like that Like the mountains and rivers here, it is quiet and simple.

Zhou Heng played with Xiao Qi for two days, and then attended the family meeting in the ancestral hall.

That day Haijie also came, a woman dressed in black and wearing a black mask, she didn't say a word the whole time.

The meeting lasted for seven hours, and when it was over, Zhou Heng walked out first, with no clue in his state, followed by Zhou Haijie.

Before going down the steps at the door, Zhou Heng gave way to Zhou Haijie, turned sideways and said, "Auntie, please first."

Zhou Haijie nodded lightly at him, and when she passed by, she looked sideways at Zhou Heng and said softly, "Congratulations."

Zhou Heng smiled gracefully, and said softly, "I've let you down."

"Any plans for the next step?"

"The things in the group are now stable..." Zhou Heng looked up at the sky, then at Zhou Haijie, and said in a gentle and harmless manner, "Then let's see how to get out of here with your reputation ruined and penniless." Day's."

Day Haijie: "..."

Day Haijie lowered her head, the black gauze mask covered her side face, before walking down the steps, she said, "See if you have the ability."

Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, and said, "Auntie, the days are still long, let's play slowly."

***

When Zhou Heng returned to the residence, Xiao Qi was taking a gossip plate and measuring the direction back and forth in the yard.

Seeing Zhou Heng come in, Xiao Qi said: "I have seen all of you, the typical geomantic treasures, and the ancestral hall in the back mountain. The statues placed inside are not special."

After talking for a while, Xiao Qi questioned: "So where's that evil god in your family?"

Zhou Heng smiled and took his gossip plate and put it down, saying: "There are no evil gods, the evil ones are all my best relatives."

"..."

After Xiao Qi reacted for a while, he understood instantly.

No wonder Lin Wan said that there are existences more terrifying than the evil gods in the Zhou family. Presumably, it was the Zhou family's yearning for power and fame, which is why so many accidents happened to the heirs of the Zhou family.

After returning from Jinzhou, Xiao Qi continued to be busy with the old case.

Tata suggested to him to develop a new business, saying that a banner was hung at the entrance of the branch office, and he specialized in gossip and fortune-telling.

Shao Zhouyu was present at the time, and directly dismissed it: "You are so courageous. Your uncle is a civil servant in the system anyway, how dare you let him start a side job in an open and honest manner?"

Tata had no choice but to give up.

But when it was about to enter May, Lu Xi called Xiao Qi, saying that an acquaintance might be beckoning a ghost recently, and he had been troubled for a long time, and asked if he could ask him for a favor.

Xiao Qi readily agreed, and after inquiring again, he was also his junior in Canggao, who was in the same university as Lu Xi.

The agreed day will arrive soon, and we will meet at Xiao Qi's office after get off work.

It was a bit late that day, Xiao Qi was playing Feng Shui master while waiting for someone, when suddenly he caught sight of a dog at the door from the corner of his eye.

Xiao Qi looked up.

I saw a tall boy looking at his phone and then at the house number, as if he was very uncertain.

It seems that he is a junior.

Xiao Qi said: "Come in."

The junior said "Huh?", looked into the room with his head, made a distinction for a moment, then grinned: "Senior Senior Ten."

He is a handsome boy, with a simple and silly smile, it is easy to leave a good first impression on people.

Xiao Qi glanced at the memo, uncertainly: "Cheng Jue?"

"Yes, yes, it's me." The junior came in, scratching the back of his head embarrassingly, sat down across the desk, looked at Xiao Qi, and asked, "Senior, I heard that you are a Taoist priest?"

Xiao Qiqiu nodded and said: "There is a certificate." Then he said, "Tell me, what happened recently?"

As soon as this was mentioned, worry appeared on the handsome brows of the junior, and he became more tired, saying: "Senior, since I attended the class reunion two weeks ago, I don't know what happened to me, and I started to feel uneasy. , palpitation, shortness of breath, and easy to wake up suddenly at night, I thought it was just after not resting, but since this week, things have become more and more terrifying..."

Xiao Qi handed him a glass of water, very calmly: "How to say?"

The junior held his water glass in one hand, took out his mobile phone in the other, and said, "This week, the team returned late from basketball training, and often went back in the middle of the night. To get to my house, I had to pass through an alley, which was very dark. Every time I passed through, I always I feel... tsk... I always feel that there is something staring at me from behind, the wind is blowing, but every time I turn around and I can't see anything, I know it must be a ghost."

As he said that, the junior handed the photo on the phone to Xiao Qi with a look of discomfort, and said a little mysteriously: "I took this the night before yesterday. I was quick at the time and took a picture of a ghost. Senior, help me see it. Is that the case?"

Xiao Qi took the photo and looked at it, at first he didn't see anything, he could only see the dark and silent long alley, there were no street lights at night, the telegraph poles showed gray shadows at night, and the picture showed a bit of the underworld.

However, if you look closely, you can find the "ghost" that the student said.

It was in the dark part of the alley, a fuzzy black mass was hiding behind the telephone pole, probably because of the instantaneous movement, forming a phantom, although it was blurry, but carefully identified, it could be seen that it was similar to a human figure.

The junior was still chattering sadly, saying, "Senior, why don't you draw two talismans for me to exorcise evil spirits or something..."

Xiao Qi looked at the photo in silence for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Did you meet anyone at the class reunion?"

"Ah?" The junior was stunned for a moment, and said, "Yes, there are a lot of people, not only from our school, from the neighboring school, and from Weicheng No. [-] School, many people have come."

Xiao Qi: "Nothing special?"

The junior turned to look at the ceiling and thought for a while, then looked weird for a moment, and said unwillingly: "There is one."

Xiao Qi returned the phone and concluded: "You didn't run into a ghost, you were robbed."

The junior was nervous: "What calamity?"

Xiao Qi smiled, and said three words clearly: "Peach Blossom Tribulation."

"..."

"Take a good look at this black shadow, does it look like a person?"

The junior quickly turned back to the phone, zoomed in on the photo and looked at it carefully. After looking at it for a long time, he finally recognized it. He said "Damn" and thumped the table angrily: "It's this bitch!"

Xiao Qi laughed uncontrollably, his pupils like cold stars shone brightly in the light of the room.

The wind in April outside the window is soft, telling the end of the story.

But their story is still very long, far from the end.

The author has something to say: I know I was wrong, really, don't be disappointed, I overestimated myself before opening the pit, I really can't make a unit drama.

The pair Cheng Jue and Ye Yubei will be written later, I have to save the manuscript, maybe I will come back next year.

Thank you sisters.

(Sister: Bah! I don’t have an irresponsible dog sister like you
