MTL - The Heartthrob Protagonist Just Wants To Monopolize Me-Chapter 75 (Awakening (sixteen)...)

Zhou Mei and Zhou Tao, who should have died long ago, returned to Jiaoye Village in good health, but the whole village was caught in the haze of ghosts knocking on the door.

Ji Mingxia just suspected that Zhou Mei and Zhou Tao were using the lifespan in the village to prolong her life, but unexpectedly, Zhou Mei and Zhou Tao moved today.

Ji Mingxia's first reaction was that it was a man-made coincidence, and it was probably a deception.

But the movers coming in and out not far away are not like disguise.

"My mother's cancer has recurred and she needs to be treated. My dad and I have to take care of her." Zhou Tao said, "I don't know what's going on with this disease. , so we decided to temporarily close the door and leave the village, and come back after recovery."

Zhou Tao said, playing with the copper coin bracelet hanging on his wrist: "How about you, how did you do in the college entrance examination?"

"It's alright, I played pretty much the same way as usual, and the score hasn't come out yet." Ji Mingxia glanced at his bracelet and said to Zhou Tao, "When I came back yesterday, I saw your supermarket It's okay, I didn't expect to move out today, and I didn't receive any news before..."

"It's not a good thing, and there's no need to publicize it to let the whole village know." Zhou Tao said, "I didn't expect to meet you before I left. Would you like to come to my house?"

Ji Mingxia glanced at the supermarket not far away, then looked at Zhou Tao.

Zhou Tao is turning his face slightly, his eyes are looking in an unknown direction, the other eye is looking at Ji Mingxia, waiting for his reply.

Ji Mingxia pondered for two seconds, and finally said: "Okay."

Zhou Tao led Ji Mingxia to the small supermarket. It was noon and the sun was hanging in the sky. It was the hottest time of the day, but the closer to the small supermarket, the lower the temperature.

Ji Mingxia rubbed her arms unconsciously, turned to look at Zhou Tao, but found that Zhou Tao had been looking at him.

Zhou Tao stood beside Ji Mingxia, his face was facing forward, but because of his squint, his eyes could be skewed to a very corner position.

Ji Mingxia turned his head and saw that Zhou Tao's slanted eyes were falling on him. Seeing that Ji Mingxia found out that he was peeping, he slowly turned back, and then Zhou Tao turned his head , looked at Ji Mingxia with a smile and said: "The air conditioner is too low, it's a little cold, you sit first, and I'll pour you some hot water."

Ji Mingxia just wanted to refuse, but Zhou Tao walked away involuntarily.

Seeing this, Ji Mingxia did not sit down, but walked around the supermarket.

In desperation, in the end, Ji Mingxia could only focus on one wall.

Business people are more superstitious, and there is always something to enshrine at home to feel at ease.

Ji Mingxia is a small local person and grew up in a village, so she is not surprised by these.

According to Ji Mingxia's understanding, most of the people worshiped in their homes are Guan Erye.

Second Master Guan is in charge of the God of Wealth. It is most suitable for people who do business and have a lot of money. However, because the God of Wealth has a certain evil spirit, it is generally enshrined in the position facing the door or window, so that the evil spirit can be dissipated. , to attract wealth but not disaster.

But this small supermarket is the exact opposite.

First of all, the **** statue it enshrines is dressed up by Guan Erye, but his face is the appearance of the God of Wealth.

White face and black beard, green and red, holding a chain of copper coins in his hand.

The chain is extremely long, extending from the hand of the **** statue, making a roll at the foot of the **** statue, the end pointing straight ahead, just like the next moment, the chain will bind the worshiper similar.

The statue is placed in the supermarket, in the darkest, most corner position, at the same height as people, let alone the outside light can't come in, even if there is light indoors, when people stand in front of the statue, No matter how you stand, the shadow can firmly block the statue.

This statue, even ordinary people can feel weird, not to mention Ji Mingxia's eyes, can see things that ordinary people can't see.

Yin qi lingers in the whole small supermarket, and this statue is the most yin qi position.

At this moment, Ji Mingxia looked at the statue, and the statue stood there quietly, as if he was looking at Ji Mingxia.

Ji Mingxia took a closer look, and suddenly found that the eyes of the statue were slightly skewed.

.

A bright light suddenly flashed in front of the **** statue, as if the **** statue rolled its eyes, and looked at Ji Mingxia in a negative way!

Ji Mingxia was startled, took a step back, and accidentally bumped into the person behind him.

He turned his head suddenly and saw Zhou Tao standing behind him, and he didn't know how long he had been standing.

Seeing Ji Mingxia looking at him in surprise, Zhou Tao handed over a glass of water and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I scared you."

"It's fine." Ji Mingxia quickly sorted out his expression, seeing Zhou Tao bring the water in front of him, Ji Mingxia pretended to take it without incident, but he didn't plan to drink it.

"This is the longevity of our family. Before my mother went to the hospital, she specially explained that she wanted me to take it away in person, and I shouldn't be neglectful. "Zhou Tao said, "By the way, Mingxia, can I ask you to help me with something?"

"What's the matter?" Ji Mingxia's heart skipped a beat and asked calmly.

"Aunt Cheng ordered a bag of seafood from me yesterday, and it won't arrive until the evening. The truck driver is in a hurry, so he must start in the evening. I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver it to her, can you? Can you collect the goods for me and deliver them to Aunt Cheng's house?" Zhou Tao said, "My shop closed in a hurry, this is the last order, I hope she will be satisfied."

"Aunt Cheng?" Ji Mingxia was a little strange.

Zhou Tao added: "If it's inconvenient for you, forget it. I'll come back tonight and deliver it to her in person."

Ji Mingxia thought for a while and said, "Yes, I'll deliver it for you."

"Thank you so much!" Zhou Tao's face suddenly showed a bright smile, matching his twisted face, very strange.

Although Zhou Tao's supermarket is not big, the goods are complicated. From inventory to removal, it took a whole day to complete.

Ji Mingxia watched him busy in and out. When the small supermarket was completely emptied and the back of the truck was closed, Zhou Tao walked into the small supermarket and took the idol away.

The wooden shrine of the statue was black, Zhou Tao put it upright in front of his chest, at first glance, it didn't look like he was holding a shrine, but a weird portrait.

"I'm leaving, wish me good luck." Before getting into the car, Zhou Tao said to Ji Mingxia.

"I wish you a smooth journey." Ji Mingxia said.

Zhou Tao seemed to have heard the meaning of Ji Mingxia's blessing, and smiled meaningfully to Ji Mingxia: "I look forward to meeting you next time."

With that, he climbed into the van.

The truck started "buzzing", accompanied by the departure of Zhou Tao and the statue, as if carrying the gloomy atmosphere of the small supermarket.

At this time, it was almost evening, and the setting sun was shining obliquely, and the whole village was quiet and warm.

However, even so, Jiaoye Village is still deserted, no different from when Ji Mingxia came yesterday.

Ji Mingxia looked around.

As the only small supermarket in the village, Ji Mingxia did not see any villagers from Jiaoye Village participating in the whole process of moving the Zhou family.

Don't say go up to ask, not even passers-by.

When Zhou Tao's truck left, Ji Mingxia discovered that there were actually many residents standing on the second floor of their homes, quietly watching him leave.

Their unavoidable behavior further confirmed Ji Mingxia's guess.

The Zhou family has a problem, and the whole village knows it.

However, they did not leave Jiaoye Village, and have always tolerated the existence of the Zhou family.

At this moment, when they found that the Zhou family had left, all the villagers watched silently, but there was no happy expression on their faces.

Why is this, is it because the Zhou family will come back again after recovering in the hospital?

Ji Mingxia thought so, lowered his head and looked at his fingers.

Zhou Tao left with the strange **** statue. The small supermarket was no longer gloomy and cold. At first glance, Jiaoye Village seemed to have broken free from the haze and returned to the sun.

However, at this moment, Ji Mingxia's ring still emits a faint red light.

Seeing this, Ji Mingxia lowered his eyes and hid the expression on his face.

Zhou Tao said that the seafood delivery person will arrive at five o'clock, Ji Mingxia waited for about half an hour, and saw the courier bring a foam box.

After seeing that Ji Mingxia received the goods, the courier was stunned: "Are you Ji Mingxia?"

"Well, I am." Ji Mingxia said.

The expression on the courier's face was very subtle. After he handed the foam box to Ji Mingxia, he turned around and ran away.

This is not the first time Ji Mingxia has seen such an expression from a foreigner.

Yesterday he took the bus back to Jiaoye Village. When he stopped, the driver looked at him like this.

At that time, Ji Mingxia didn't understand what was going on in the village. Seeing the courier's unavoidable appearance, Ji Mingxia understood it very well.

After the courier left, Ji Mingxia looked down.

This is the seafood purchased online. The surface of the box was sealed with transparent glue by the merchant, and the contents inside could not be seen. In addition, under the box, there were several RMB.

This box of seafood is for Aunt Cheng, and this coin is naturally also hers.

When it comes to money issues, Ji Mingxia is not easy to rummage, so he carries the box and walks towards Aunt Cheng's house.

When I came to Aunt Cheng's door, if Ji Mingxia visited, he would definitely knock on the door.

But considering the situation of ghosts knocking on the door in the village, polite knocking has long been synonymous with terror in Jiaoye Village.

When Ji Mingxia was hesitating how to contact Aunt Cheng, just at this moment, Aunt Cheng's courtyard door opened and Aunt Cheng, who was about to go out, came out of the house.

When she saw Ji Mingxia standing outside the door, Aunt Cheng froze for a moment: "You are..."

Ji Mingxia didn't expect that Aunt Cheng didn't know him. Could it be that the original body has not dealt with people in the village after returning to the village all these years?

But thinking of the rigid relationship between the original body and grandma, he doesn't even want to go home, and it's normal that he doesn't know the villagers.

Ji Mingxia politely said: "Aunt Cheng, I'm Mingxia."

"Mingxia?" Aunt Cheng was a little surprised, she glanced up and down at Ji Mingxia, her shriveled and aging face showed a rare smile, "You have grown up so much, you are tall now How many? Are you a high school student, or are you in college?"

"Just finished the college entrance examination." Ji Mingxia said.

"I just finished the test, that's good, I should go out more to relax, play for a few months and then go to university, why did I go back to the village." Aunt Cheng said.

Ji Mingxia felt that her words seemed a little strange, but she couldn't find anything wrong for a while.

He said: "Grandma is here, I have to come back, or she will be angry."

Ji Mingxia's words are just casual words, which are very common household words.

But what he didn't expect was that Aunt Cheng frowned slightly when his voice fell.

However, this was just a momentary expression. Seeing Ji Mingxia looking at him for no reason, Aunt Cheng said, "Auntie, what's the matter?"

Ji Mingxia raised the box in her hand to Aunt Cheng: "I just met Zhou Tao on the way, their house has moved, and it's too late to deliver seafood to you, let me help you."

After hearing this, Aunt Cheng's face changed greatly. She looked at the seafood foam box in front of her, almost took a step back, and looked at Ji Mingxia in shock: "What did you say?"

Ji Mingxia saw that Aunt Cheng really had a reaction. He didn't know what irritated Aunt Cheng in his sentence, so he repeated that sentence again.

While speaking, Ji Mingxia carefully observed Aunt Cheng's expression.

He thought that Aunt Cheng was so surprised when she heard that Zhou Tao had moved out. Ji Mingxia also wanted to find some clues from Aunt Cheng.

The strange thing was that Aunt Cheng changed her face when she heard the last sentence.

Zhou Tao asked Ji Mingxia to help with the delivery, and Ji Mingxia also felt very strange.

But when I heard him say that if Ji Mingxia didn't send it, he would come back in the evening to send it in person, Ji Mingxia thought about it, considering the safety of the village, and finally decided to agree.

When the courier handed the foam box to him, he was also prepared to be tricky. Seeing that there was no flaw in the appearance of the foam box, Ji Mingxia even guessed, is there something wrong with the seafood in the foam box?

But it's not his item after all, Ji Mingxia can't take it apart without authorization before handing it over to Aunt Cheng.

He originally planned to wait for the items to be delivered to Aunt Cheng, and according to Aunt Cheng's reaction, maybe they could open the foam box on the spot to have a look.

matter!

"Aunt Cheng, is there any problem?" Ji Mingxia couldn't help but ask.

Aunt Cheng bowed her head and refused to say anything.

Ji Mingxia couldn't see her expression, and Aunt Cheng's inner activities could not be guessed. He was about to try a formula, and at this moment, Aunt Cheng said: "You hurry back ... ask your grandma. ."

After finishing speaking, Aunt Cheng took the foam box and quickly entered the room as if she had seen a ghost.

The door closed with a "click". After Aunt Cheng entered the room, there was no movement, only Ji Mingxia was left standing outside the door.

Ji Mingxia was shocked.

He was the one who saw Zhou Tao, and he was the one who delivered the goods. What does all this have to do with grandma?

Could it be that grandma is in danger?

The thought flashed by quickly, Ji Mingxia was confused on the spot, turned around almost without hesitation and ran towards the house.

The dusky sunset shrouded the entire Jiaoye Village, the village road was quiet, only the footsteps of Ji Mingxia were constantly echoing.

Aunt Cheng's house is not far from Grandma Ji's house, and there is no one on the way.

At this time, the sun was setting in the west, the street lights were on, and the whole Jiaoye Village entered the night time.

Ji Mingxia hurried to the door of the house to stop, he gasped slightly, and was about to open the door to enter, when his finger was about to touch the door lock, a picture flashed through his mind, Ji Mingxia suddenly remembered something, The movement of the hand is involuntary.

In an instant, from the moment of returning to Jiaoye Village, to this moment, every detail of what happened over the past twenty hours was replayed in Ji Mingxia's mind.

Ji Mingxia looked at the gate of Ji's house in front of her, as if she suddenly wanted to understand something.

When Ji Mingxia retreated, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in the courtyard below the hollowed out iron gate of Ji's house.

The knock on the door came from the Ji Family Courtyard.

The door, which was originally closed, opened automatically from the inside.

The Ji's house was dark, there was no light, and Grandma Ji could not be seen.

A familiar voice came from the yard and drifted into Ji Mingxia's ears intermittently: "Mingxia, we meet again."

The owner of the voice is none other than Zhou Tao who just left in the evening!

He left with great fanfare in front of the whole village, but not only did he return to Jiaoye Village again within a short time, but he even sneaked into the Ji family!

When Ji Mingxia heard his voice, his face sank, but thinking of Grandma Ji, he forced himself to calm down, pulled the corners of his mouth into a fake smile, gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Tao, you are not Have you gone to the hospital for cancer treatment, why are you still at my house so late?"

"I need treatment, but when did I say that I'm going to the hospital..." Zhou Tao's voice was intermittent, as if it came from another world.

"You have cancer, don't you want to go to the hospital for chemotherapy? Only science can save you. Everything else is an illusion." .

However, Zhou Tao did not give him time. He did not answer Ji Mingxia's question, but said to Ji Mingxia: "Mingxia, this is your home, won't you come back?"

Ji Mingxia looked at the black door, like a beast's mouth that could swallow him at any time.

Zhou Tao urged: "We and your grandma are waiting for you here."

He said, his voice fluctuated far and near, and there was a bit of a weird smile.

In Ji Mingxia's heart, the Ji family that reassures him the most, now seems to have become a dense ghost cave, which looks thousands of times more terrifying than that small supermarket.

But Ji Mingxia couldn't back down.

Grandma Ji was still inside, and Zhou Tao was coming for him.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia restrained her rapid breathing, tried her best to control her emotions, and finally stepped forward and walked in.
