Three times married to Yama
Chapter 52 The Man Whose Face Was Obscured
The area outside was deserted, with only her suitcase standing forlornly at the elevator entrance under the flickering lights.
Where is Grandma Li now?
Zhang Yanyan froze. She hurriedly tried to run out to look for her grandmother, but Wang Fangrong held her tightly.
"Yan Yan, don't go!"
Zhang Yanyan looked at Wang Fangrong with a question in her eyes, but her body was trembling slightly. In fact, just now her gaze had accidentally fallen on the black and white photo of her grandmother in the living room.
She had a suspicion, but she couldn't believe it; she had just seen her grandmother...
"Yan Yan, your grandmother passed away a month ago. We didn't tell you because we were afraid it would affect your exams," Wang Fangrong said, her eyes filled with fear. "We have to move quickly; we can't stay here any longer."
Hearing that her grandmother had passed away, she was scared but also very sad, and tears streamed down her face.
"Why do we have to move, Mom? We're living here just fine, aren't we?" she asked, crying and confused.
Wang Fangrong's eyes were slightly red and her face was full of sorrow. She held Zhang Yanyan's hand tightly. "Your father and I don't want to move either. The mortgage on this house is not yet paid off, but we have no choice but to move now. Since the seventh day after her death, your grandmother has come back almost every night. If she just came back to visit, that would be fine."
"But ever since your grandma came back, our family has been incredibly unlucky. A few days ago, your dad's finger was smashed, and I almost got hit by a car while crossing the street. Now that you're back, your grandma will definitely keep bothering you, so we have to move away."
While wiping away her tears, Zhang Yanyan asked incredulously, "But didn't Grandma love us the most when she was alive? Why is she clinging to us? Is there some unfulfilled wish she has?"
Wang Fangrong and Zhang Zhiqiang didn't know why this was happening. They had consulted fortune tellers and invited three different fortune tellers, but none of them could solve the problem.
That's why Zhang Yanyan, in her desperation, sought help from Xiao Xian online, and subsequently met Xia Zheng.
Zhang Yanyan felt a little more at ease under the blazing sun, while I was sweating profusely under the sun, but my body was still ice cold.
The deceased lingers because they have unfulfilled wishes.
"And then?" Xia Zheng asked. "You seem very scared. If it were just what happened before, you shouldn't be this scared, right?"
I nodded almost imperceptibly. Xia Zheng is quite smart. My judgment was right; I didn't misjudge him.
As she spoke of what happened next, Zhang Yanyan's hands clenched tightly, and her body trembled even under the blazing sun, with fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
"Later..." Zhang Yanyan said, her face pale. "We moved, but Grandma still came with us. My parents were still very unlucky, and I had nightmares every night. I dreamed that Grandma took me to see a man whose face I couldn't see."
"At first, I was quite far away from that man, but as I dreamed about him every night, we got closer and closer. Just last night, he was standing by my bedside."
"He said my grandmother married me off to him, and he's going to take me away in seven days..."
As she spoke, Zhang Yanyan rolled up her sleeve, revealing her arm, on which was a dark handprint!
Xia Zheng's expression hardened, but he immediately comforted Zhang Yanyan in a soft voice, "Don't worry, your problem is not difficult for me. My two assistants can handle it. I don't even need to lift a finger."
I,"……"
Hearing Xia Zheng's words, I admired him quite a bit. I thought he was smart, and he really put on a show by handing things over to me and Yan Jinyue.
Xia Zheng's words made Zhang Yanyan temporarily forget her fear. She was a little incredulous, "Really? Really?"
"Of course, if I didn't have some skills, how would I dare to accept the commission?" Xia Zheng confidently raised his chin, looking extremely confident.
I couldn't help but give Xia Zheng a thumbs up in my heart. To make things easier for me later, I also said to Zhang Yanyan, "Don't worry, I can handle this little thing by myself. My master doesn't need to help."
Yan Jinyue sat to the side, listening to Xia Zheng and me talking back and forth without saying anything, but he was emanating a chill from his body.
"Thank you in advance. I haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time. Every night, either my grandma is standing at my bedside, or that man whose face I can't see is standing at my bedside. And when I wake up the next day, there are always strange marks on my body. I've also almost lost my life several times."
Zhang Yanyan said with lingering fear, "On my way to see you, I was standing at the intersection waiting for the traffic light, but suddenly I couldn't see anything. When my vision returned, I was already in the middle of the road. If the car hadn't braked quickly, I might have been hit and thrown into the air."
After saying that, she looked at us cautiously, "So, what should we do next?"
As is customary, we should first go and check on where Zhang Yanyan lives.
She said that two ghosts stood in front of her bed every night, and that she had dark marks on her body when she woke up the next day.
Furthermore, the misfortunes and even life-threatening events she encountered all proved that the two ghosts harbored ill intentions towards her family.
Since Xia Zheng openly said he was entrusting the matter to me, I said to Zhang Yanyan, "We need to go to your house to take a look. You shouldn't mind, right?"
"Of course not! I'd love for you to come to my house. I'm too scared to go home right now, but even if I don't go home, my grandma and that man are still following me and bothering me," Zhang Yanyan said immediately.
Oh dear, this child is really terrified.
I took out a talisman and handed it to Zhang Yanyan. "This is a talisman. Keep it close to your body and it will keep you safe for the time being."
"Okay, thank you, thank you!" Zhang Yanyan excitedly took the amulet and carefully put it in her pocket.
Next, we went to Zhang Yanyan's house together.
Zhang Yanyan's parents were not home. As soon as I entered the house, I felt that there was a cold, eerie atmosphere in the house, which made me feel very safe.
Yan Jinyue's gaze slowly swept around the room before settling on me.
I quickly pulled him away from Xia Zheng and Zhang Yanyan before whispering, "Do you have something to say to me?"
"Mm." He nodded.
Seeing that Xia Zheng and Zhang Yanyan hadn't noticed us, I pulled Yan Jinyue to stand in a corner a little further, and then I asked, "What do you want to tell me?"
At this moment, Yan Jinyue and I were extremely close, so close that I could almost hear each other's breathing. I thought Yan Jinyue would scold me and tell me to stay away.
But he didn't. He just stood in front of me, his deep, dark eyes looking down at me, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Based on your birth date and time, the male ghost that's been haunting Zhang Yanyan will haunt you instead."
Yan Jinyue's words startled me slightly. "Get entangled with me?"
Actually, my birth chart is quite normal, but Qin Zhi's is not so normal. She was born on an Yin day and at an Yin hour, and I think that's why she was chosen by Youming to become Yan Jinyue's bride.
However, Qin Zhi and I exchanged our birth dates to deceive everyone, and the birth dates that Yan Jinyue knew were also Qin Zhi's.
However, if that male ghost keeps bothering me, things will be much easier.
"What does Lord Yan want me to do after telling me this?" I looked up at Yan Jinyue and said sincerely, "I only know how to communicate with ghosts and draw some talismans, but I'm not very good at catching ghosts. If that male ghost pesters me, you'll help me, right?"
Yan Jinyue, "Didn't you say before that you'd get a fortuitous encounter, and ordinary ghosts couldn't harm you?"
Was he asking that on purpose? He probably knows better than I do whether it's an ordinary ghost or not, and whether it can hurt me.
Simply put, this ghost can't hurt Lan Yin, but it can hurt Qin Zhi.
At times like these, we can't let Qin Zhi's character become too skewed.
"Does Your Excellency think this ghost will be an ordinary ghost?" I asked.
Yan Jinyue's face remained expressionless, her expression always indifferent.
"Ah Yin, I said a long time ago that as your husband, I would not let you get hurt, but I also hope that you can protect yourself and act within your capabilities."
I listened attentively to Yan Jinyue's words and nodded earnestly. "Yes, Lord, I will certainly keep your teachings in mind!"
If I encounter a ghost that I truly cannot defeat, I will definitely run away first and I will never risk my life.
Seeing that Yan Jinyue and I hadn't come over for a long time, Xia Zheng walked over to us with some confusion.
"Master, what are you doing? Have you noticed anything?" He walked up to me and asked in a low voice.
Seeing him approach, I silently distanced myself from Yan Jinyue, whose gaze swept over me.
I calmly said to Yan Jinyue, "We're standing a bit too close; things are getting a little ambiguous between us."
Yan Jinyue, "..."
Xia Zheng was slightly taken aback. He looked at me and Yan Jinyue with a puzzled expression and muttered under his breath, "I really don't understand the romance between you two as a couple."
"What are you muttering about?" I glanced at Xia Zheng, then said, "Have you figured anything out since you came in?"
Xia Zheng scratched his head sheepishly. Seeing that Zhang Yanyan hadn't come over, he whispered, "I didn't see anything, but I can feel very uncomfortable ever since I came into this room. There's a chill rising from the bottom of my heart, and my whole body is covered in goosebumps."
"Hmm." I nodded and said to Xia Zheng, "Because unclean things have been coming into this house for a long time, it has caused an excess of yin energy. As soon as you enter the house, your body will be disturbed by the yin energy."
"Of course, staying indoors for a short time won't have a big impact on your health. You'll be fine after a day or two of rest. But if you live in such an environment for a long time, you'll either have bad luck or even lose your life."
"If you ever find yourself in a place that makes you feel very uncomfortable, remember to leave immediately and trust your body's instincts."
Hearing my words, Xia Zheng nodded in sudden realization. He rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and looked around the entire room. "It's really scary. How heavy is the yin energy in Zhang Yanyan's house?"
As he spoke, he glanced cautiously at Yan Jinyue, then leaned closer to me and said in a voice barely above a whisper, "But I feel that Mr. Yan has an even stronger aura of yin energy; you could freeze to death standing next to him."
I looked at Xia Zheng with pity. Young man, no matter how soft your voice is, Yan Jinyue can still hear it.
Sure enough, after hearing Xia Zheng's words, Yan Jinyue's cold gaze fell on Xia Zheng.
With just one glance, Xia Zheng couldn't help but shiver. He gave an awkward laugh and then moved his stiff steps toward Zhang Yanyan.
I looked at Yan Jinyue and said, "Why did you scare him? Look how scared he is, he can barely walk."
A hint of innocence appeared on Yan Jinyue's expressionless face. "I didn't say anything."
"Your eyes are scary enough."
As I spoke, I walked towards Zhang Yanyan's direction, with Yan Jinyue's tall figure walking behind me and his voice coming from above.
"But you don't seem afraid of me," he said.
I smiled but didn't say anything. I was actually quite afraid of Yan Jinyue, afraid that he wouldn't compensate me for my lifespan if we divorced, since that was what I came here for.
Xia Zheng had already told Zhang Yanyan what was going on inside the house, and Zhang Yanyan's face turned ashen.
"What should we do then? If we move again, will they come with us?" Zhang Yanyan asked.
Unfortunately, yes.
Xia Zheng and I both nodded. Zhang Yanyan's heart died at that moment.
"So moving won't help. We need to solve the problem at its root. How about this, I'll stay at your place tonight and see what's going on," I said.
My words brought hope to Zhang Yanyan's eyes. "That's wonderful! Thank you, thank you!"
I nodded, preparing to leave for the time being. It was still early, so the two ghosts shouldn't show up. I'd come back tonight.
Xia Zheng said he was going to meet a classmate and would come to find me later, leaving Yan Jinyue and me to enjoy some alone time.
We found a dessert shop to have some food and drinks, and Yan Jinyue was already very familiar with ordering.
He ordered three whole pages of desserts, snacks, and drinks, which completely stunned me.
Sure enough, he is still himself, Yan Jinyue, who loves food.
When the food was served, two tables were set up, each covered with beautifully presented and delicious desserts and snacks.
I was holding my fork, ready to dig in, when Yan Jinyue suddenly called out to me, "Wait."
I pulled back my spoon, about to scoop some cake, and looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong?"
I saw Yan Jinyue silently take out his phone; it seemed to be the same model I had given him before, and he was already using it.
Yan Jinyue picked up her phone and took several photos of the desserts on the table, adjusting the angle as she did so.
He seemed to be in a good mood; although his face was expressionless, his tone was softer than before.
"Let the cattle and horses of the Netherworld see the delicacies of the human world. After all, some of them haven't left the Netherworld for hundreds of years. Even if they can't eat them, it's good to see them," Yan Jinyue explained.
Yan Jinyue is so cunning! He's clearly trying to make his cattle and horses drool with envy, isn't he?
"Yan Jinyue, have you added me as a friend?" I asked. "We can usually contact each other by phone unless it's something urgent."
As soon as I asked that question, Yan Jinyue handed me her phone.
"Help me," he said.
