People were coming and going in the corridor, casting curious eyes on this strange combination.

Aunt Liu grabbed Li Yifan's arm and pulled him to the corner leading to the stairs. "Oh, Mr. Fan, what's the matter with you, you came here early in the morning to embarrass me, an old woman."

Li Yifan raised his eyebrows. "I told you to open the door of the cleaning room, why did I make things difficult for you?"

Aunt Liu immediately became alert. "Boss Fan, did Zou Hao tell you something?"

"What did Zou Hao tell me?" Li Yifan became angry when he heard that. "I still want to ask what you did to Zou Hao!"

"Such a big man, how can I eat him? He came to help me out of kindness..." Aunt Liu blurted out.

"Help you for what?" Li Yifan asked.

Aunt Liu knew she couldn't hide it from Li Yifan, so she had to tell the whole story, how she met those two children, how Zou Hao worked with her to help the children find (dian) dad (wai) dad (mai) every day.

Li Yifan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.The two little devils don't have deep grievances. As long as you help them find their father, it should be resolved smoothly. "Aunt Liu, leave this matter to me. I have some contacts, so it shouldn't be a problem to find a delivery boy."

"Really?" Aunt Liu was surprised and delighted, grabbed Li Yifan's hand, and slapped the back of his hand several times. "Boss Fan, you are such a good person!"

Li Yifan gasped in pain, gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to scream, the human setup couldn't collapse.It took a while for him to slow down: "Then take me to meet them."

Unexpectedly, Aunt Liu's face changed instantly. "No. There are too many people now, and we have to wait until the evening to get off work."

"All right, it's a deal." Li Yifan could only compromise.

When Li Yifan returned to the 20th floor, the people waiting to see him at the door were almost lined up in the tea room.After finally finishing chatting one by one, it happened to be time for lunch.

As soon as the elevator stopped on the first floor, the chaotic crowd on the right immediately caught Li Yifan's attention.He was originally the kind of person who would never take a second look even if someone was running a marathon without clothes on the street wearing a Kumamon headgear, but the center of the chaos was the security room.

"What happened?" Li Yifan squeezed through the crowd, just in time to see the doctor carrying a stretcher into the ambulance and closing the door.

Zheng Cheng leaned against the door frame of the security room with a dull expression, as if he was quite frightened. "I, we are going to eat after get off work, Brother Hao just stood up from the chair, and fell down with a 'boom'..."

Li Yifan's chest tightened, and he looked up to the door, the ambulance had already honked and drove away.Li Yifan turned around to go to the parking lot, but his arm was suddenly grabbed by someone.Looking back, it was his lover and assistant.

"Boss Fan, we still have a meeting this afternoon." Zhou Yunling reminded him.

Li Yifan took a deep breath to calm himself down.The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, Li Yifan pulled Zhou Yunling to the corner of the hall, took out the car key from his trouser pocket and handed it to her. "Go and have a look, there is something wrong with Zou Hao. I still have a few medicine king talismans written by your master in my study, you go and get them first, find a porridge shop to buy a bowl of mung bean porridge, mix the talisman ash into it, Coax him to drink."

"Okay, master, you can rest assured." At critical moments, Zhou Yunling has always been very reliable. "I will contact you if there is any situation."

Zou Hao had a long, long dream.

Wolf smoke, beacon fire, princes in troubled times.

Someone rode a horse on the ground full of fire, dressed in military uniform, with a scarlet cloak fluttering in the wind.

When Zou Hao woke up from his dream, the setting sun at four o'clock in the afternoon shone golden on the bedside.My head was a little dizzy, and for a moment I couldn't tell whether I was dreaming or waking up.Directly above his line of sight, there were several bags of transparent liquid hanging on the wall, which were slowly poured into his body drop by drop through the plastic hose.

"You're finally awake."

Zou Hao turned his head following the voice, and saw Zhou Yunling sitting by the window with a laptop on her lap, typing while talking.

"Yunling, why are you here?" Zou Hao propped himself up and sat up, tapping his forehead with his wrist, trying to relieve the sudden dizziness.

"On behalf of Qiyi and Mr. Fan, come to express our condolences to the hardworking security guard Brother Zou who helps us pick up the courier every day." Zhou Yunling put down the computer and walked over, opened the takeaway bag next to the bed, and brought out a bowl of mung bean porridge. "The doctor said that you fainted because of low blood sugar, please drink some porridge."

Zou Hao was about to pick it up, when he stretched his hand halfway, he suddenly hesitated again.He remembered that Qin Yan went to him last time and told him not to eat what Li Yifan and Zhou Yunling gave him.

"What's wrong? Don't want to drink porridge?" Zhou Yunling asked. "Then I'll buy you something else?"

"No, no, no." Zou Hao quickly waved his hand. "I'm not hungry right now, you can leave it alone." As soon as the words fell, the disappointing stomach growled.

Zhou Yunling sneered. "Zou Hao, I see. You just suspect that I poisoned you."

"No, it's not..." Zou Hao, who had been seen through his innocence, didn't know how to get back.

Zhou Yunling lifted the lid of the paper bowl, looked up at the mouth of the bowl, took a few big gulps, and drank up the porridge in the bowl. "Do you like to drink or not!" Zhou Yunling threw the empty bowl into the trash can, picked up the computer, shook her head and left.

"Yunling, don't be angry, I was really wrong..." Zou Hao tried to redeem, but Zhou Yunling still walked out of the ward without looking back.

Zou Hao sighed, feeling dizzy after such a toss.His belly growled again, and he turned his gaze to the small table by the bed, where another bowl of porridge lay quietly in a plastic bag.Yunling was so angry that she drank it herself, there must be no poison in the porridge.Perhaps there was some misunderstanding between Qin Yan and them.

Unable to bear the hunger, Zou Hao opened the remaining bowl of porridge, and drank it upside down in two or three mouthfuls.Strange to say, as soon as the porridge was drunk, the drowsy brain immediately cleared up, and it felt like I had never been so awake in my life.Probably because there is food in the stomach, blood sugar returned to normal.

Zhou Yunling lay on the window, making sure that Zou Hao had finished his porridge before sending a message to Li Yifan. "Zou Hao woke up and drank the porridge. He looks fine."

Li Yifan was absent-minded in the meeting, but he was relieved when he received the news from Zhou Yunling, and immediately replied: "You stay for another half an hour, make sure he is fine and go." Li Yifan realized while typing that he was a little too concerned recently I care about Zou Hao.In fact, Li Yifan didn't know whether he cared about the little security guard or the birthmark on his neck.

"Mr. Fan, my report is over. This is our design proposal for this revised visual effect. Do you have any questions?" The PPT has turned to the final thank you page, and Qin Yan asked in front of the projection.

Li Yifan quickly put down the phone, pretending that he was listening carefully. "I still have some opinions on the color scheme. You can go back and talk about your ideas in detail."

After the meeting, the design proposal was changed, and it was almost eight o'clock when the employees finally left.When Li Yifan reached the 18th floor, Aunt Liu was already waiting for him in the corridor.

Aunt Liu opened the cleaning room and called inside: "Niu Niu, little Mantou, come out and meet Uncle Yifan."

The two children walked out of the cleaning room holding hands.When Xiao Mantou saw Li Yifan, he burst into tears.The little girl immediately took a step forward, using her small body to protect her brother behind her.

"Hey, what's wrong with Xiao Mantou?" Aunt Liu didn't know why. "Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

"He has a sword on him." Niuniu raised her head and glared at Li Yifan fiercely.

"What sword?" Aunt Liu was even more confused.

Li Yifan squatted down and looked at the kid in front of him. "My sword is for killing bad guys, it won't hurt you."

Only then did Xiao Mantou stop crying, and asked tentatively, "We met a lot of bad people on the way here. Uncle, can you kill them?"

"If they hurt other people, I will kill them." Li Yifan said firmly.

"Boss Fan, don't tell the kids about beating and killing," Aunt Liu complained, "Let's talk about looking for Dad first."

Li Yifan turned to Aunt Liu. "I want to take them home. I live alone, and it's convenient to take care of them. For the specific information of my father, I will ask them slowly after I go back."

"You are a big man, can you take good care of the child?" Aunt Liu was a little worried.

"It's better than living here." Li Yifan pointed to the cleaning room with his eyes.

"That's true. All right, then trouble Mr. Fan. I'm getting more and more uncomfortable these days, and I can't stay with them all the time."

After saying goodbye to Aunt Liu, Li Yifan led the two little ghosts down to the parking lot.The car started smoothly, and Li Yifan saw them sitting obediently in the back row through the rearview mirror. "How did you die?" Li Yifan asked.

"We took rat poison." Niu Niu's voice was as calm as a child's. "The stepmother went out to play mahjong, and left the leftovers with rat poison on the table. When I got home from school, I thought it was dinner, so I poured it into the pot and heated it up, and ate it with my brother. I hurt my brother."

Without saying a word, Xiao Mantou took Niu Niu's hand and leaned on her shoulder.

Looking at the brightly lit city, Li Yifan suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.He can only fulfill the last wish of ghosts in the underworld, but he is helpless against the crimes in the world.

"I will definitely help you find your father," Li Yifan said, "but you can't go to Aunt Liu and Zou Hao anymore. I know you don't have any malicious intentions, but you have evil spirits in your body, and staying together often will hurt them body of."

"Okay." The two little guys nodded obediently.

After returning home with the little ghost, Li Yifan put away all the items used to exorcise evil and avoid ghosts, offered a bowl of clean water in the corner, and went downstairs to catch the wandering spirit of a stray dog, and brought it to play with them.

Li Yifan asked about the hometowns of Niuniu and Xiaomantou, and contacted his friends who worked in the household registration department.Changlong Village, surnamed Zhang, is a takeaway boy, over 25 years old.Friends from the household registration department quickly responded to the message, and found such a person, named Zhang Yourong, and gave Li Yifan his phone number and address.

Li Yifan looked back at the living room, two children were happily playing with the stray dog's soul.He went downstairs alone and dialed Zhang Yourong's phone: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Zhang?"

"Hello, what's the matter?" There was a faint sound of a car horn on the other end of the phone, and Zhang Yourong should still be on the way to deliver food.

"Although I'm sorry, I still want to ask, did your two children pass away a while ago?"

After a moment of silence, Zhang Yourong cursed: "What the fuck are you? My two children are living well, and you can't curse the children if you want to cheat money! You have no conscience, you are not a fucking person!" After finishing speaking, Zhang Yourong Hang up the phone with a "snap".

Li Yifan held his mobile phone, standing in the cold December wind, a little confused.
