Ghost King's Vicious Dog

Wu Yong's wife seemed to sense Jiang Tian's gaze, and turned her head abruptly. Jiang Tian couldn't dodge in time, and met her eyes.At that moment, Jiang Tian felt the sharp malice in the opponent's eyes, piercing his body like a slender needle. Although it was fleeting, Jiang Tian was still aware of it clearly.

But soon Wu Yong's wife pushed Xiao Xia to Jiang Tian's side, and said with a smile: "I have to cook, Xiao Xia, go and play with your brother Xiao Jiang..."

At the end, she whispered intentionally or unintentionally: "Be polite in front of guests, don't talk nonsense."

Xiao Xia shivered slightly, then nodded slightly.

Xiaoxia would be a little more cheerful in front of strange guests. He took Jiang Tian's hand and walked into his bedroom, took out a backgammon from the box on the desk, carefully placed it on the table, and spoke to Jiang Tiandao with great interest. : "Brother, do you want to play backgammon with me? This is a reward from the school teacher. I study very well."

Jiang Tian stroked his chin for a while, then raised a finger, and said solemnly, "Call me uncle."

Xiao Xia: "Huh? But you look like an older brother..."

Jiang Tian snorted proudly, "I'm much bigger than you imagined."

Jiang Tian, ​​an older young man, feels that calling him uncle can reflect his temperament as a mature man, and calling him brother seems childish.

Xiao Xia didn't know why, but he seemed to be very used to obeying orders, so he immediately changed his mouth, "Okay then, Uncle Xiao Jiang."

So the two sat at the table and played backgammon. Jiang Tian was not very good at playing, basically half of his attention was on the chessboard, and the other half was observing the layout of the bedroom from the corner of his eye.

Xiaoxia's room is very simple, just a single bed, a table, not even a wardrobe, and the clothes are probably put in a box under the bed.

There are not many things on the desk, there are some textbooks between a simple bookend, a few signature pens in a pen holder, and a fifteen-centimeter-high wooden figure next to the pen holder, which looks like a soldier in a fairy tale , wearing a tall hat and a red military uniform, but it is very old, and the red paint is mottled.

And the black lines on the grid on the backgammon board under his hand have also been rubbed white, it can be seen that he often plays.

Jiang Tian didn't think deeply, and asked abruptly, "Xiao Xia, don't you have any other toys?"

Xiao Xia was taken aback for a moment, then rubbed the white chess in his hand somewhat awkwardly, and said in a low voice: "Uncles and aunts are not easy to make money, and the living expenses sent by parents are not much, so..."

He paused for a moment, then cheered up quickly, put down the chess piece, took the soldier puppet next to the pen holder, and showed Jiang Tian with both hands, "I still have this villain, it's cute."

Jiang Tian took it over and took a look.

This villain is very delicately carved, with two black bean-like eyes, and the style is a bit retro, as if it was played by children more than ten years ago.Such puppets are definitely not sold in supermarkets now, and the toy shelves are filled with cool gadgets like Transformers.

Jiang Tian couldn't help asking: "Where did you buy this villain?"

"I didn't buy it, I picked it up in the trash when I was out of school." Xiao Xia said as she opened the drawer, "I wiped it clean and made this."

The drawer was opened, and Jiang Tian looked down, and saw that the middle of the drawer was separated by cardboard, half of which contained stationery and notebooks, and the other half looked like a small house.

I made a table out of cardboard boxes, a handkerchief as a tablecloth, and placed a small medicine bottle as a vase on the 'table' with a few pink flowers in it. There was a small bed made of ice cream sticks next to it, and a bed sheet made of paper towels on it. and quilt, a white pebble acts as a pillow.

In short, it is a handmade cottage full of childishness.

Xiaoxia put the soldier puppet on the bed and covered it with a paper towel, "Look, I put it here at night, and let it sit on the table with me to do my homework during the day."

Jiang Tian couldn't help laughing, Xiao Xia is really still a child, and he can play the game of playing house by himself.

But he was inexplicably worried. Xiao Xia's life seemed to be very simple, no, it should be said that he was struggling.Wu Yong and the others didn't seem to take much care of his life, so that the only two toys he had, one was given by the teacher, and the other was simply picked up from the garbage dump.

Jiang Tian said: "Do you want other toys, I can buy them for you."

Xiao Xia was taken aback for a moment, then quickly waved her hand again, and said in a panic: "No, no, let aunt know, it will..."

He suddenly shut up, and said embarrassingly: "I can just have these two, in fact, sometimes I still whisper to it."

When he said this, he touched his face shyly. Due to the movement, the loose sleeves slipped down, revealing a small section of his slender wrist.

Then Jiang Tian's eyes froze as if they had been scalded.

There was an obvious bruise on Xiaoxia's wrist, which was particularly glaring against the pale skin of malnutrition.

Jiang Tian grabbed his arm and rolled up the sleeves, only to see that his arms were covered with bruises and redness, one by one, as if he had been whipped out by some kind of slender stick.

Jiang Tian's face darkened, and he asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

He finally understood why Xiaoxia was so afraid of Wu Yong and his wife. The scars in front of him were evidence of their child abuse.

Reminiscent of what Xiaoxia said and his humble room, Jiang Tian had reason to suspect that Wu Yong and the others had deducted the living expenses from Xiaoxia's parents.His parents are going to ship and sell goods, and they earn a lot. No matter what, it is enough for a child to live on. It is impossible for Xiao Xia to not even be able to afford a toy. The pencil on the table is too short to hold. , but also reluctant to exchange for a new one.

Jiang Tian even remembered the dream from last night: If the demon soul was attached to Xiao Xia, then it might not be Xiao Xia peeping at Wu Yong's sleep in the dream, but being punished to stand.

When thinking about this, Jiang Tian unconsciously showed some anger on his face, and his pupils shrank and narrowed slightly, like a beast.Xiaoxia withdrew her hand apprehensively, stroked her arm anxiously, and whispered: "I accidentally fell down,

No, he was lying, that kind of scar couldn't have come from a fall.

But Jiang Tian didn't expose him, he decided to discuss with Shao Xing at night, how to handle this matter properly and gently.

Jiang Tian thought for a moment, then probed softly: "Why did you fall so badly, are you in poor health?"

Referring to Lin Dongzhi in the past, if he is possessed by a demon spirit, all the functions of his body will be improved to a certain extent. He wants to start from this aspect to find out whether the demon spirit is on Xiaoxia's body.

Xiao Xia shook her head, "I'm very healthy, but sometimes I get dizzy suddenly."

This answer did not make Jiang Tian sure. The dizziness may be due to low blood sugar or insufficient nutrition. If Wu Yong and his wife really abused him, they would definitely not pay attention to his diet.

He still wanted to ask some more questions, such as asking him about his grades in physical education and how fast he was running, but before he could say anything, someone knocked on the door outside. Wu Yong's wife opened the door, showing half of her face, smiling. Said: "Xiaojiang, Xiaoxia, it's time to eat."

Jiang Tian noticed that Xiao Xia immediately tensed up, and the relaxed expression when chatting and playing with him just now disappeared, replaced by a tense emotion.

Jiang Tian turned sideways, interposed between Wu Yong's wife and Xiao Xia without leaving a trace, and said without changing his face: "We know, come here now."

The two went out together, but Jiang Tian turned around and went to the bathroom with an excuse. Ten seconds later, he opened the door of the bathroom, stretched out a hand from the crack of the door and shook it, "Shao Xing, come here and do me a favor."

Wu Yong was stunned. Why do you go to the toilet to help? Could it be that you can't pull the zipper off your trousers, so do you need someone to help you take your trousers off?

Shao Xing smiled helplessly, and walked into the bathroom as he said.

Jiang Tian turned on the faucet casually, making the sound of rushing water, covering up their secret conversation.

He lowered his voice and told what he saw and guessed just now, and finally said: "I think the demon spirit is in Xiaoxia."

"Really?" Shao Xing said with a smile, "Since you are so confident, let's take out the demon soul directly."

After speaking, he calmly walked out the door, Jiang Tian quickly grabbed his arm, "Wait, wait, if you make a mistake, he will die!"

"Then let's do this." Shao Xing made a sincere suggestion, "Anyway, the suspects are only women and children, so first try to get the soul out of the woman's body. Anyway, according to what you said, she is not a good person. died."

Jiang was in a bad mood, "What kind of nonsense are you doing, convicting someone to death without evidence?"

Shao Xing deliberately teased him, "Then use Police Officer Jiang's always proud intuition to judge whether it is a woman or a child?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Tian muttered and couldn't speak, he was forced to evade his words, "Again, let's look again, I'll look for clues."

He turned off the tap and went out.

At the dinner table, Wu Yong toasted Shao Xing frequently, and tried to talk about the promotion, but Shao Xing made it clear: eat without talking, sleep without talking.

He smiled and touched Jiang Tian's hair, pointing out, "After all, I have to set an example for someone."

Jiang Tian buried his head in cooking, rolled his eyes a little, and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

I don’t know how the rule of not being allowed to chat at the dinner table was established. It was probably a long time ago when the puppy and Shao Xing ate together, they always talked non-stop, so that he ate slowly and carefully. After chewing slowly and suffering from stomach problems for a while, Shao Xing ordered him to forbid gossip at the dinner table.

But it’s still okay to say a few words, but you can’t always talk and not eat, the cart has turned the cart before the horse, and now Jiang Tian is not following the rules, every time he eats his mouth is not idle, he is either eating or talking.

He noticed that Xiao Xia hugged her small rice bowl, curled up slightly in a chair, and kept eating rice without even reaching her chopsticks into the dish.

Today's dinner is extremely sumptuous, with a combination of meat and vegetables, meat, sea, land and air, even the pickiest eater can't not like it, so there is only one possibility, that is, Xiao Xia dare not stretch out her chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

Jiang Tian turned his back on customers and put a duck leg in Xiaoxia's bowl, "Eat more, children will not grow tall if they don't eat meat."

Wu Yong was taken aback for a moment, glanced at Shao Xing very quickly, and immediately picked up a piece of braised pork, put it in Xiao Xia's bowl, and said in agreement: "Yes, yes, eat more."

Jiang Tian sneered in his heart.

It can be seen that he is trying to create a harmonious family atmosphere for Shao Xing to see, but Jiang Tian has already seen through his tricks.

What he is thinking about now is to find the evidence that the ghost is on Xiao Xia, and the second is how to improve Xiao Xia's life after this matter is over, and save him from this dire situation.
