Chapter 119 The Educated Youth Tricked into Going to the Countryside (13)
"You know me?" After hearing Lin Jingyi's words, the little devil raised his head, his face pale, and asked with displeasure.
"Ah...no...I don't know you!" Liu Jia screamed in fright when she saw that Lin Jingyi really couldn't see the little ghost and then suddenly heard the little ghost speak.
As he spoke, he covered his ears, his body trembling uncontrollably, and whispered to himself:
"Don't come any closer, I can't hear anything..."
Lin Jingyi: [I don't know you, but you must have your own difficulties staying here. How about I help you out?]
Lin Jingyi also pretended to be startled, as if he was frightened by Liu Jia's sudden scream.
But he was still sending a telepathic message to the little devil.
"Why don't you open your mouth when you talk?" the little devil asked curiously as he slowly approached.
At this moment, Liu Jia kept muttering to herself, seemingly unable to hear what the little devil was saying.
Seeing Liu Jia with her hands covering her head and her eyes closed, Lin Jingyi said to the little devil:
[This is one of my skills; I'll explain it to you later.]
The little devil can't transmit sound; he can only communicate by speaking.
It initially knew that Liu Jia was indeed quite happy to see this and wanted to come and ask for help, but the other party seemed very afraid.
It could only stay alone in the corner, and the woman even told others about its presence. Fortunately, the medics couldn't see it.
Now there's another person named Charlene who can see it and talk to it without using her mouth, and the little devil suddenly has hope again.
Seeing Liu Jia like this, Lin Jingyi had no choice but to call the medic.
The sanitation worker was also scared when Liu Jia described a little boy soaking wet in the corner of the room.
As the only clinic in the village, it was naturally a place where people had died. When Liu Jia mentioned the little boy, they were reminded of the little boy who had drowned.
Although they believed it to some extent, they dared not show it.
Liu Jia's actions have made both medical workers afraid to stay at the clinic any longer.
When Charlene came to call them, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go check it out.
When the little devil saw Lin Jingyi come in with several medics, he originally wanted to approach Lin Jingyi to ask him what was going on, but seeing that there were other people, he obediently sat back down in the corner.
This was the only person it had seen who wasn't afraid of it, and it couldn't scare people away.
"Comrade Liu Jia, are you hallucinating again?" The medic tried to pull Liu Jia away, but Liu Jia dodged him.
I could only sit on the edge of the bed and ask.
Liu Jia still looked like she had seen a ghost, muttering to herself.
This made the sanitation worker quite uneasy.
Liu Jia looked up and saw that the little devil was still standing there, staring straight at her. She was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head.
After being scared unconscious last night, and then waking up to see the little ghost standing there, Liu Jia felt that she wasn't as scared as she had been at the beginning.
These ghosts only look scary, but they don't harm people; it's just that people are afraid of them.
"Comrade Xia Lin, Liu Jia has woken up and can leave now," the medic said, turning to Lin Jingyi who was standing behind him.
If Liu Jia continues to live here, she'll start to suspect that ghosts are appearing in broad daylight.
"Okay, I'll have someone take her back after I have dinner this afternoon." Lin Jingyi nodded in agreement. It would be more convenient for her to operate if the two of them were alone in a room.
Afterwards, Lin Jingyi left the clinic and prepared to return to his residence to rest.
[Little devil, I'll come find you again tonight.]
Without waiting for the kid's reply, he went out.
This world is different from the post-apocalyptic world and the ancient martial arts world; you can't kill people indiscriminately.
Therefore, she only used cultivation for self-protection.
Since there is still yin energy in this world, why doesn't she make use of it?
That way, no one else can prove that she did it.
"Beep beep~" Lin Jingyi had just reached the fork in the road leading to the house when she encountered a man whistling at her.
Lin Jingyi narrowed his eyes. He was short, with dark skin, a large face, and small eyes.
This man is Zhao Cheng, the one who abused Xia Lin, causing her to miscarry and die.
Lin Jingyi felt that it didn't even qualify as domestic violence; it was clearly intentional homicide. This kind of intentional harm, labeled as domestic violence, received far less severe punishment.
When the man saw Lin Jingyi squinting at him, he assumed she was interested in him too, and became even more excited, suddenly running towards Lin Jingyi.
Seeing this, Lin Jingyi dodged to the side just as the man was about to touch him, and quickly turned around, kicking the man in the waist in the direction he was moving forward.
"Bang!" Zhao Cheng raised his hands in front of him, already having the strength to rush forward, but he felt a pain in his waist, as if he had been kicked by something, and Zhao Cheng fell heavily to the ground.
His arm scraped against the pebbles on the ground, leaving a trail of blood.
Zhao Cheng knew that what he was about to do was not something glorious, and since it was still daytime, he dared not shout.
If Charlene is also interested in him at this moment, he naturally doesn't need to be secretive.
However, the other person skillfully dodged his hug, causing him to fall. Zhao Cheng could only accept his bad luck, stood up, and ran away quickly without saying a word.
That night, he was determined to settle the score with this woman!
Watching Zhao Cheng's unwilling back, Lin Jingyi left a mental mark on Zhao Cheng, clapped his hands, and turned to go home.
Charlene never encountered such a situation in her lifetime.
Lin Jingyi suddenly remembered that this situation seemed to have happened before, but it wasn't Xia Lin who was targeted by Zhao Cheng, but Liu Jia.
At that time, Xia Lin was always accompanied by some male educated youths, so Zhao Cheng naturally didn't dare to make a move. Tao Tao was with Song Xiaoxiao, and only Liu Jia was alone. In the end, Zhao Cheng also succeeded in his attempt.
Living under the same roof as Xia Lin, who is clearly more provocative, why was she the one who was humiliated by Zhao Cheng?
Liu Jia didn't dare to make a fuss. She didn't dare to retaliate against Zhao Cheng, so Xia Lin, whom she was jealous of, became the target of her "revenge." So she kept telling Zhao Cheng how beautiful Xia Lin was.
Zhao Cheng knew that Xia Lin was the most beautiful, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. Later, with Liu Jia's help, Xia Lin was brutally humiliated and murdered.
In Lin Jingyi's current life, Zhao Cheng dared to attack her because she was a loner.
Liu Jia, however, stayed with the other educated youths at all times, so she naturally had no opportunity to make a move.
However, Zhao Cheng acted much earlier this time than he did with Liu Jia.
Lin Jingyi smiled and asked the system to set an alarm before closing his eyes and going to sleep.
After dinner, Lin Jingyi asked a few educated youths to go and see if they should take Liu Jia back.
After Lin Jingyi left at noon, the medic and Liu Jia stayed in the room feeling scared. They encouraged Liu Jia to go outside and get some sun to dispel the yin energy on her body.
Seeing that the little ghost stayed in the room and dared not go out, Liu Jia guessed that the ghost was afraid to go out, so she followed it out.
When I went back into the room, I felt warm all over. When I returned, the little devil in the corner was gone.
Liu Jia immediately felt much better. Her health was no longer a problem, but even if she was sick, she could still eat if she didn't work. She was still practically a patient, so she didn't want to do that kind of strenuous work, since she had food to eat anyway.
And so, Liu Jia spent the whole day lying in the clinic.
It wasn't until Lin Jingyi and others came to the clinic to see her that she was able to see them.
Lin Jingyi remained silent as he walked among the crowd.
"Comrade Liu Jia, what do you think?"
Xie An asked Liu Jia, who was sitting next to the medic.
"Comrade Liu Jia is fine now and can leave."
The sanitation worker was really hoping Liu Jia would leave as soon as possible; not only was she acting strangely, but she was also following her around and affecting her work.
"I'm not better yet! I'm scared!" Liu Jia clung to the medic's arm, her heart filled with dread at the thought of returning to that haunted house.
"Liu Jia, none of us had nightmares last night. Maybe it was just a coincidence that we all had nightmares the night before. Don't be afraid," Song Xiaoxiao said reassuringly.
Last night, Ding Shiyao and the others hadn't planned to scare the educated youth. After hearing Lin Jingyi's explanation, they weren't so hostile towards them anymore.
Their living space has shrunk by half. Nevertheless, they no longer frighten them.
So the second night they stayed at the house was the most peaceful night they slept there.
"No, there were so many ghosts in the room where Xia Lin and I lived..." Liu Jia shook her head, tightly holding the medic's arm. Thinking of the room full of ghosts, fear rose from the bottom of Liu Jia's heart.
The medic's arm, which was being held by Liu Jia, was a little sore. He tried to pull it back forcefully, but Liu Jia was holding on too tightly, and he had to use both hands to pry it open.
Liu Jia quickly climbed up again.
The medic looked speechless.
"Comrade Liu Jia, there are no ghosts in this world. Don't spread these rumors, or I'll report you to the team."
Aside from the fact that he mentioned the little brat covered in water during the day, the medic looked completely unconvinced.
That was the only way she could comfort herself.
"None of us saw it, only you did, Liu Jia... You're not thinking of skipping work, are you?"
Seeing her lively and energetic appearance, showing no signs of being overly frightened, Tao Tao couldn't help but ask.
Some of the other educated youth looked at Liu Jia with suspicion, while others looked on with obvious understanding, as if they had discovered something extraordinary.
Liu Jia's cheeks flushed red from Tao Tao's words, her eyes darting around, and she shouted:
"How could that be? I really saw it last night. You can't just say I'm lying without evidence."
"Oh, then why didn't we see it? Why didn't Charlene, who shares a room with you, see it either?"
This is what puzzled Tao Tao. She could easily suspect that Liu Jia did it on purpose, since no one else saw it, and according to Xia Lin, she was fine by noon, but didn't go to work in the fields in the afternoon, which made Tao Tao suspicious.
"How should I know? Do you think I want to see it? Who wants to see...those things?"
Liu Jia jumped up. She had clearly seen it all, yet Tao Tao was still targeting her. Just because they couldn't see it didn't mean she hadn't seen it.
Thinking that there might still be something in the room, Liu Jia's voice dropped several decibels when she mentioned ghosts.
To some of the educated youth, this seemed like a sign of guilt.
"Tsk, they're all feeling guilty." Tao Tao scoffed and decided not to bother with her anymore.
"This room also has...that kind of thing, but it's not convenient to say it out loud." Seeing that no one believed her, and remembering that there was a little ghost in this room, Liu Jia became even more anxious.
"Since this room also contains what you mentioned, Comrade Liu Jia, would you like to return to the residence or stay here?"
The educated youth had no obligation to care about Liu Jia; they had already done more than enough by coming to see her. There was nothing they could do if she didn't want to leave. One of the male educated youths could only ask her a token question.
"Could I...share a room with Tao Tao and Song Xiaoxiao?"
