    adventure

    The beef brisket was cut into pieces and thrown into the pot. Before the shrimps soaking in the pool could open their backs, Chu Yu was holding the pot with one hand and couldn’t resist.

    “What’s up! The shrimps are thawed, can you come to the kitchen and help me?” She shouted with her back to the living room.

    There was no response, but her keen sense of smell detected a hint of burnt smell.

    There have been a lot of people setting off cannons these days, so it could be a fire. Thinking of this, she felt nervous.

    Chu Yu put down the knife and immediately turned off the fire. When he turned around, the living room was empty, only to see thick smoke billowing from the narrow gap with the balcony door open.

    “Li Heru! There’s a fire at home!” She quickly grabbed the home fire extinguisher in the corner, and hurriedly grabbed a bath towel, wet it and put it on herself.

    While running back and forth, I took a guess at all the flammable materials on the balcony. The balcony windows were not sealed, and the house was on a low floor. It was not impossible for sparks from fireworks to fall into the balcony and cause a fire…

    The sliding door opened with a clang. Chu Yu, wearing a wet bath towel and holding a fire extinguisher, looked like a magic weapon descending from the sky, and met the stunned eyes of the man and cat in front of him.

    Li Heru wrapped half of his head with a scarf, while Xiao Huang squatted aside and looked at the burning brazier. There seemed to be half a piece of colorful cloth in the brazier.

    But she couldn’t see clearly because the fire extinguisher spray that she pressed down covered everything.

    Fire-extinguishing sprays were flying and it was snowing heavily. Xiao Huang got close and was suddenly turned into a white cat. Li Heru shook the powder on the toes of his shoes and reached out to take something out of the brazier.

    “You ruined Xiao Huang’s New Year’s gift.” She said regretfully, looking at the blackened rag in her hand.

    Chu Yu looked at everything in front of him with confusion, and a question mark slowly appeared on his forehead.

    “Hey, half of it has been burned. You can try to see if you can wear it.” Li Heru pulled out half a piece of floral cloth from the brazier. There were two holes in the cloth. Xiao Huang shook his body, and the white powder on his body flew everywhere.

    Chu Yu subconsciously stepped back and stepped on a hard object. She looked down and saw that it was an unburned candle.

    He was actually burning clothes for Xiao Huang.

    She sneezed as the cold towel pressed against her skin.

    “Don’t burn something like this that emits black smoke in the future, and it’s as thin as a rat. Why do you burn so many of them?” Chu Yu couldn’t help scolding.

    Li Heru hugged Xiao Huang, who was dressed in red and white velvet clothes, and twisted around. She covered Xiao Huang’s ears with her hands: “It’s a bad comment, don’t listen to it.”

    “Mom, you are so cruel.” Xiao Huang turned around and complained.

    Chu Yu shrugged and put a chopstick of beef brisket into the cat’s bowl: “Don’t talk while eating.”

    There were loud sounds of firecrackers downstairs, and the red grilles on the windows were bright and moving. At the dinner table, Chu Yu was immersed in cooking rice. Xiao Huang was eating it and was rolling the piece of beef with his paws, looking up at Chu Yu’s face while rolling.

    Li Heru held his chin and smiled sweetly,

    Happy New Year, this is their first New Year together.

    “Hello? You’re at home, having dinner with your wife.” Chu Yu answered the phone and chewed the rice nonchalantly.

    “Well, you’re here? Where are you?” She paused, the chopsticks in her hand hanging in the air.

    Unscrewing the door handle, Long Chao’s face was hidden in the furry hat. She held a large gift box in each hand and said with a smile: “surprise.”

    Chu Yu immediately closed the door.

    However, after a moment, the door opened again. Long Chao smiled hopefully, but saw the indifferent woman in front of him give her a red envelope and slam the door shut.

    Here, there is a custom of giving red envelopes to people during the New Year. Generally, some auspicious words will be written on the red envelopes. Some people are too lazy to buy ready-made ones, while some thoughtful people will buy empty red envelopes and return them with handwritten blessings.

    The thing in her hand looked like it was handwritten, and it was wrinkled to the touch. Looking at someone so inhumane, would he still do such a tender gesture of handwriting a red envelope?

    Long Chao opened the book happily, and faced three big characters with flying dragons and phoenixes: Send the God of Plague away.

    Chu Yu leaned against the door and took a deep breath. To be honest, she didn’t want to meet Long Chao on her big day, because nothing good would happen if she met her.

    *

    In the end, Long Chao was welcomed in.

    “Giving New Year’s gifts? Where did Liang Zhiqiu get so many gifts to give? And why do you always give them?” Chu Yu leaned on the sofa and frowned. Long Chao wolfed down half a bowl of hot rice to fill his stomach after running around all morning before he spoke.

    “She is so busy. The New Year is approaching, and all the bosses are asking for drinks and appointments, and she can’t even eat eighty meals a day. I am just a free person and can help her run errands.”

    “Well, thank you for your hard work. This is the last one for me. You can go back and rest after seeing me off.” Chu Yu said with his chin in his hand.

    Her house is located in the most remote location. There was a flood in the city last time, and Long Chao was also the last one to come to her house.

    Long Chao cleared his throat and put down the bowl.

    Chu Yu secretly thought something was wrong.

    Sure enough, Long Chao’s expression changed at the next moment. She grabbed Chu Yu’s sleeves anxiously, her knees softened, and she leaned against Chu Yu’s side without kneeling:

    “Good sister, there is still someone whose New Year’s gift I haven’t given yet, so you can accompany me.” Her voice was sweet, like a completely flattering big cat.

    Suddenly there was a burning feeling in his body that he was being stared at by something, and Chu Yu did not dare to lower his head to look at Long Chao.

    She quickly pulled Long Chao away with both hands, and stood up quickly to distance herself from her. Only then did Li Heru’s laser-like eyes move away from her.

    “I’m not going. What’s the point of giving a New Year’s gift? I’m not a child.” Chu Yu said helplessly.

    Long Chao sat down on the sofa and said, “Chu Yu, if you don’t go, I won’t leave. Do you know who you want to send it to?”

    “Who?”

    “Zhu Qingjue, and her phone number has been unreachable since yesterday. I asked Zhiqiu and she said that this is common. She often goes to the mountains to meditate every once in a while, so we just need to leave the New Year’s gift at her door.”

    Long Chao’s eyes were filled with tears, and he put his hands into fists under his chin, like a big-eyed emoji.

    *

    Zhu Qingjue’s home is located in a high-end real estate in this city. It has an excellent location, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is also adjacent to the city’s largest business district. There is gold and water nearby. It is said that the location has been viewed by someone. In Feng Shui, it is important to attract wealth.

    Therefore, it has attracted many big bosses to buy houses here. It is not surprising that Zhu Qingjue bought here. Her obsession with mysticism and metaphysics is known to the entire circle.

    The two walked into the elevator carrying the New Year’s gift. Long Chao pressed the 28th floor button. Chu Yu couldn’t help but chuckle: “She really believes this.”

    “Everything in the universe needs to be stable and prosperous. It’s not strange for people who hang out in Vanity Fair.” Long Chao shook his stiff arms and let out a long sigh of relief.

    The elevator rose slowly, and the ceiling light in the elevator flashed and flashed as the two people spoke. It was obviously a new building, but the light was broken.

    Long Chao looked up, and the pale lights flashed so hard that her eyes hurt. She touched the goosebumps on her arms and shivered, then silently rubbed her body next to Chu Yu.

    “Floor 28, we’re here.” The mechanical female voice said slowly.

    The elevator door opened, and a pale hand suddenly came in.

    The hand was slender and almost sickly, with blue veins extending along the back of the hand and into the shoulder. Under the cold light, the red nails on her fingers still shone flawlessly.

    Zhu Qingjue lay face down on the ground, with the door wide open behind him. There were toys, snacks scattered everywhere, and red sauce smeared all over the wall.

    Chu Yu carefully walked around the woman, stepped forward and took a whiff. It was the sauce for tomato sauce pasta.

    Long leaned against the elevator, her hands rummaging around in her inner pockets at a loss. She had been carrying her precious amulet with her since she last encountered those things in the cemetery, but she couldn’t find it at this critical moment.

    Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and a sharp and crisp child’s voice came from the side: “Sister, are you looking for this?”

    A piece of yellow talisman paper was held in the hand wearing white silk gloves. Long Chao hurriedly took the talisman paper and said gratefully: “Thank you, kid…”

    She raised her eyes and met a pair of empty glass orbs.

    Two cuts were cut open on the girl’s ceramic face with a knife. Her smile was as sharp and cold as the cuts. Her hair was sparsely spread out because her whole body was hanging upside down in the air, revealing her imperfect scalp.

    *

    Although Zhu Qingjue was turned upside down by Chu Yu, her eyes were still closed and there was no sign of waking up.

    Chu Yu stood up helplessly and was about to ask Long Chao to help lift her down, but saw that the elevator door had already closed.

    On Lan Yingying’s screen, the elevator was descending rapidly, and it didn’t stop until it reached the second floor.

    It was impossible for Long Chao to leave without saying goodbye.

    Chu Yu took out his cell phone alertly and waited for a long time. There was a busy tone on the phone. When the last tone disappeared, Long Chao did not answer.

    A bad feeling came up from the soles of her feet and down her legs. Especially when Chu Yu’s peripheral vision fell inside the door and there were no lights on in the house, she keenly felt that something was staring at her.

    The top priority was to move the unconscious Zhu Qingjue to a safe area. Considering the abnormality in the elevator just now, Chu Yu hesitated for a moment and walked into the room alone.

    The enemy is in the dark and she is in the light. Taking the elevator in a critical moment is simply life-threatening for a regular actor in a horror movie, not to mention that Long Chao disappeared in the elevator just now.

    She was a Taoist priest, and she also carried a ghost-expelling charm on her body. Ordinary ghosts could not hurt her at all, so Chu Yu was not worried.

    The fear was that she was swept away by a ghost. If that was the case, Chu Yu took a deep breath and subconsciously rubbed his thumb.

    Why don’t she go back to find reinforcements first…

    With this thought in mind, he stepped through the door of Zhu Qingjue’s house.

    After all, there is an old saying here, what comes comes comes.

    She groped in the dark and stepped on something, which was sticky. Chu Yu’s heart was hanging in her throat. She touched a switch and pressed it.

    The room is full of splendor, and the first thing you see is a huge one-piece floor-to-ceiling window. This house has a very wide view, and half of the city can be seen at night.

    But what’s more eye-catching than all the designer furniture in your living room is the junk.

    The beef patties in the burger smashed into pieces and stuck to the wall. The sticky sauce on the pasta was covered with maggots, and countless egg tarts fell into the Coke.

    Chu Yu later realized what she had just stepped on, and her anxious heart finally relaxed.

    [The author has something to say]

    I look forward to the completion of this book and it will be a great pleasure to quickly write about forbidden love.
