After Ruan Zhan arrived in City A, he moved into the Yeyuan Hotel where Li Jingming stayed last time.

He did not specifically want any room or simply move into the attic where Li Jingming met ghosts, because he believed that if he had anything to look for him, he would find it naturally. Moreover, he doubted whether he dared to provoke the situation where the ghost could not be combined into one now.

He went to observe the river behind the house and found that it was a river surrounded by town, neither deep nor shallow nor calm. Not only can it be used as a traffic path, but the scenery was also beautiful. However, with his special abilities, he could still see the fierce aura there. Unfortunately, his ability was sealed for too long, so he could not see it in detail. In addition, the section of the river behind Yeyuan Hotel is the deepest part of the entire river, and you must dive into the bottom of the river to figure it out.

There is no necessary equipment in this beautiful little place, so he asked Wanli, who was staying in the bar, to buy diving equipment for him and check it in, and then wait for the equipment to arrive to find out. But he was not idle these days. He pretended to be a folk culture collector to check the county annals, inquire about folk stories for about a hundred years, and tried his best to recall the diving skills that had been wasted after college.

That evening, when he finally integrated all kinds of scattered clues into a clear story and returned to the hotel with satisfaction, he found that something unusual happened in his room.

The door was closed, the cabinet was passive, there was a strange smell in the room, and the sound of water flowing in the bathroom was heard.

Ruan Zhan gently pushed open the bathroom door, and a man was leaning over the pool to wash his face. When "it" raised his head and saw two people in the mirror, one of whom was Ruan Zhan's gloomy face, he was shocked and screamed "ah".

"I only understood what it means to 'scaring people, scaring people to death'. Do you not walk soundly?" Xiao Xia randomly wiped the water from her face and said unhappy.

"Why are you here?" Ruan Zhan frowned, feeling deeply troubled.

"Can't I come?"

Seeing Xiao Xia's confident provocative spirit, Ruan Zhan knew that discussing topics such as danger and whether it is necessary to argue with her, it would be better not to talk about them. Xiao Xia was unceremonious and squeezed out between Ruan Zhan and the crack in the door, sat peacefully on another bed, and was so arrogant that she would not leave even if she beat her to death.

"How did you come in?"

"I told the shop owner that I am your sister."

"What an honor!"

"I'm at a disadvantage. I look much better than you."

"I'm sorry for you." Ruan Zhan changed his questioning angle. "Is there nothing you can do with?"

"Don't worry, everything goes well over me. The application for judicial spirit appraisal was approved very smoothly and quickly, and is currently in progress. There is no chance that 'that' can be combined into one."

"So you're here?"

"Who told you to leave, like a yellow crane, never look back." Xiao Xia pushed the blame to him, "I asked you for help. At least you want to give me some news, but you have no news. I have reason to suspect that you were eaten by a ghost or did not do your best. So, although you are unhappy about me coming to you, you must also bear some responsibility."

She was so righteous that Ruan Zhan had nothing to say.

"I know you think I'm in the way, but that's nothing to do! This is an era, and you don't even prepare a mobile phone, so I can't contact you at all." She didn't have to get involved, and no one liked it easily, but this was her case, she insisted on saving Li Jingming, and Ruan Zhan was just helping. Although he didn't say it, she knew that this was quite dangerous, so how could she let it go and let the helper take risks alone. She was timid, but she believed that one more person would always be useful at critical moments.

Ruan Zhan still didn't speak.

"You must be scolding me for making excuses in your heart now, right? But the lawyer is like - you have to fight with reason so that you can't raise your head, and you have to make a big splash if you don't understand the situation. You are the one who is so unreasonable that you are provoking people like me."

"Whatever you want, don't blame me if something happens, scare me to death!"

"You won't scare me to death." Xiao Xia was sure that he wouldn't let her leave.

"Just know what you are doing. Let's go, I'll take you to book a room."

"I'll stay here if you book a room. Don't you have two beds here? You can't use it alone, so don't waste it."

Her answer almost made Ruan Zhan desperate. Since she occupied his room on the second floor of the bar, he had to sleep in the warehouse. He helped so enthusiastically, and wanted to get rid of this abnormal mentality of living as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, she still made him feel at ease thousands of miles away.

"Or the case, I'll pay for the room fee for you. You can choose which one you like, or you can stay in that three-star hotel."

"No! Wasting social resources is a shameful act."

"Miss, please understand a fact." Ruan Zhan said tiredly: "I am a man, and we are not very familiar with each other. Is it inappropriate for you to be in the same room with a strange man like this? Although this is not a feudal era, can you be less courageous?"

"It is because I am timid that I want to live with you! And I know you hate me and will not be interested in me. You are really unkind and you must say it clearly. Hey, by the way, have you had dinner?"

Ruan Zhan shook his head.

"Then I'll treat you to a very famous local dish? I've asked the shop owner and there is a century-old brand not far from here."

Ruan Zhan has a split headache.

"Don't be so awkward! I just want to hear what your investigation and your plans are these days. You also know that this involves 'that'. I'm timid and not so scary in crowded places. Let's go, let's just tell you that you are willing to move, it's true!"

Ruan Zhan completely surrendered. He was dizzy now and couldn't figure out what kind of personality the person in front of him had. He had never seen such a dual personality. He was obviously brave, but he was very arrogant. He was obviously not as proud as he was too arrogant.

The century-old store was built on the Linhe area. Since it was the off-season of tourism and there were not many customers in the store, Xiao Xia and Ruan Zhan chose a window to eat while talking about the facts that were already roughly clear.

It turned out that more than a hundred years ago, the owner of Yeyuan was the richest man in the villages here. Now the place where they live is already a small corner after many parts have been divided. According to the county chronicles and the old people have passed on from generation to generation, Yeyuan was prosperous and wealthy at that time, but later the population gradually declined. Until more than a hundred years ago, there was no male inheritance. So the only lady of the Ye family recruited a scholar who failed the test in the town as a son-in-law. At that time, everyone envied the scholar's good luck and said that a mountain of gold fell from the sky at the door of their house.

But in just one year, Ms. Ye, who was pregnant, drove him from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard on the grounds that the scholar often stole money. In fact, Ms. Ye despised him for being cowardly and incompetent, and he also took a fancy to others. At that time, the customs in the south were conservative and she could not divorce her husband, so she found an excuse to send the scholar outside and live secretly with her lover who had been promoted to the housekeeper.

But there is no airtight wall in the world, and soon this incident was spread by the servants of the Ye family. However, the Ye family is powerful and no one dares to say anything in public, but they just attack the scholar. The scholar was originally a poor person and was looked down upon by everyone. Later, he suddenly got lucky, which naturally made others jealous. In addition, he was not able to be a human being, so he became a little domineering when he was proud and offended many people. Now he is in trouble, and there is still the principle of not taking advantage of the situation.
