1420 Outlaw

y has a lot of suspicious characters.My ancestral home has my great-grandfather as its guardian, steadfast and immovable like a mountain.Anyone who tries to offend our family has been "invited" out of...The Jiangqi Yunkai Dharma Gate sent me home, and everything at home was fine. Old Mrs. Wu was in good health, and the children were safe and sound.

First, I took a good shower and then bowed one by one in front of the altar. Jiang Qiyun didn't rush to leave, but instead walked around my house and yard.

"Your Majesty." The tsundere lynx Xiao Nie shook his fur and bowed to Jiang Qiyun.

This little cat, Xiao Nie, has been loyally guarding my house for the past two years. He and Lao Tai's black cat Ling are a formidable pair—one like an electric doorbell, the other like a smart lock—very effective at warding off evil spirits and ghosts.

Although the old lady's cat spirit is agile and fierce, it can't handle powerful demons or ghosts. Xiao Nie is better at dealing with ordinary demons and ghosts, and Xiao Nie can also be ferocious towards humans.

Sometimes danger doesn't come from demons and monsters, but from our own kind.

Humans are even harder to guard against.

Jiang Qiyun checked every corner of the house, but didn't find anything strange. He sat down on the sofa.

My sofa has barely been sat on. After finishing my offering to the Celestial Gods, I'm going to make some tea for Jiang Qiyun.

Now, only grandma is taking Lanxi for a walk in the courtyard with her walker. Grandma and Aunt Wu are enjoying the autumn sunshine, sipping tea on the wicker chairs and chatting.

I don't know who invented this kind of stroller that looks like a mini shopping cart. When Lan Xi pushed the stroller, she would walk in a slow, unsteady manner, and Xiao Nie would jump into the front compartment of the small cart and curl up into a ball.

Lan Xi was so small, she didn't have the strength to push Xiao Nie. She hugged him like a winter melon, and after pushing a few times, she couldn't stand steady and fell on her butt.

Grandma muttered as she reached for Xiao Nie's nape, but the naughty little thing scampered away immediately after finishing its mischief.

I think all grandmothers who protect their grandchildren in the world are "terrifying." When You Nan and Yu Gui were targeted by Si Tu Lin before, Grandma was so fierce at that age. After being fierce, she shouted "my heart and treasure" to the sky, which is really a typical example of grandmothers all over the world.

The wind and rain outside seemed unable to penetrate the house. I made a pot of tea, its fragrant aroma filling the room. Just as I was about to sit down on the sofa with Jiang Qiyun for a quiet chat over tea, Song Wei burst in, full of energy.

She was a regular, so Chen Laotou's shop assistant naturally wouldn't stop her.

Song Wei stormed in with a large bag slung over her shoulder. Seeing that there was no one at the counter, she immediately turned to the right and went around the partition, shouting, "Xiao Qiao, is what you told me on the phone true"

"Can I fool you any longer" I poured her a cup of tea.

Song Wei sat on the single sofa, put down her bag and rubbed her arms: "It's so cold here, your air conditioner is set so high"

It's already autumn, why turn on the air conditioner She said this and glanced at it. The standing cabinet air conditioner wasn't blowing any wind at all.

Song Wei was stunned for a moment, looking around: "Is your house leaking Why does it feel so cold here No wonder you're still wearing a long-sleeved jacket at home."

I looked at Jiang Qiyun. I had long since gotten used to this temperature and didn't think it was that cold anymore. I changed the subject and asked, "How is Changjing doing"

"What else can be done, the company meeting decided to fire her. A female host went on leave without a reason and didn't say anything, then she went to this resort wearing inappropriate clothes as a 'companion'. If this gets out, it will ruin the reputation of this industry. The leaders at the station are so angry."

Companion I raised an eyebrow slightly.

Song Wei looked at my expression and said with some pride: "You don't understand, do you Now some so-called college girls, white-collar workers, or even 18th-line celebrities use this kind of companion services to sell their bodies. Anyway, they just play games, package themselves up a little, put on makeup, and they're ready to go. Those with discerning eyes can see through it, they can only find this word to make excuses."

"Where is Chang Jing now" I asked, frowning.

"At the hospital, I went to see her, she was rambling... She got excited when she saw me, saying why wasn't I listening, why did I take off my amulet, etc... I tried to get it out of her, she rambled on and on, but I got the gist of it. Did you give her some kind of charm"

I nodded, indeed I had given it.

"...Apparently, it was when her boyfriend was getting intimate with her that he found the amulet annoying and asked her to take it off. As a result, she got attacked in a construction shed at the demolition site." Song Wei whispered, "I feel like I could write a ghost story about this!"

"Stop writing, you think this is something to show your leaders You'd better watch out for your job." I cautioned.

"A job like this" Song Wei covered her forehead and shook her head, sighing. "The pay isn't good and it's exhausting. I run around all day, and when I get home, there's chaos. I'm thinking of quitting."

Huh I was taken aback.

"Why do you want to resign"

"Quit my job and go traveling, to find some peace and quiet! There are so many things bothering me at home lately." Song Wei said with a huff.

Isn't the worry about her and Lin Yanhuan's bodyguard brother's marriage not going smoothly Could it be that the two of them have completely broken up

I want to ask but I'm afraid to.

Song Wei is such a straightforward girl. If she wants to say something, she doesn't need to be asked; she'll just blurt it all out. But if she doesn't want to say something, she won't even mention it, not even bothering to think about it.

Sometimes, relationships are very strange things. When two people are together, they don't feel like there are storms in the world. However, in the end, they might be defeated by some insignificant people or events.

Thunder and dew, all are blessings from heaven, but only those who are in it can feel the warmth and hardship. Outsiders can only see the surface.

Song Wei really didn't want to talk about her and the bodyguard, so she said with a worried expression, "Xiao Qiao, why don't you get me a talisman too The kind that protects against bad people and brings peace to the home."

I understood what he meant and asked, "What's wrong at your house What happened"

Song Wei's family was an ordinary one, much like many others. Although they weren't wealthy, they lived comfortably, without wanting for basic necessities. They had a small loan, but overall, life was stable and peaceful.

Her family used to have a self-built house in the village, but later because the environment of the self-built house was too poor, her younger brother was infected by evil spirits, so she sold the house and land, and bought a set of commercial housing.

That house was still one Jiang Qiyun had seen before, the feng shui must be fine, besides Song Wei's brother being obsessed with paranormal things, it has always been quite stable.

"Things have been unsettling lately. My uncle, my father's younger brother, got into some trouble. He made a little money from business and for some reason, he took up with another woman outside of his marriage. It caused quite a stir at home. But that wasn't the worst of it, he also fell into gambling. Such a good person, I don't understand why he suddenly changed so much. Is it really true that men turn bad when they have money" Song Wei rubbed her temples.

"A while back, he even borrowed money from our house. My father secretly lent him some of his own money to pay off his debts. When my mother found out, the two of them argued so badly that they almost got divorced."

"As soon as I got home, I heard so much noise. My brother went to college and isn't here anymore, he's so peaceful. I can't stand it and want to run away from home."

Then, Song Wei looked at me and said, "Xiao Qiao, if it were before, I would think these kinds of things happen all the time. It's just bad luck, but now the more I think about it, the more I feel that my uncle must be out of his mind! Not only does he gamble, but he's also determined to be with a mistress. He wasn't like this before... Perhaps you could go and have a look"

I rolled my eyes helplessly and said, "This kind of thing should be handled by the community mediation staff or the neighborhood office, what can I possibly do"

“Um… Is there anything that can ward off fox spirits”

“...”, being a man, didn't know how to raise a little girl, so he left me with my grandparents at our hometown."Will you blame me" Dad suddenly asked, "For you, I haven't fulfilled my duty as a father."To...
