Chapter 35 Prayer in Gray House
With the experts' professional diagnosis and conclusions on this matter, all the abnormalities and differences of Xie Rouxi made Xie Kangnian and Xie's family feel understandable.This also laid a relatively good start for Xie Rouxi's subsequent rebirth. At this point, she completely became the second daughter of Xie Yuan, "Xie Hundreds of Millions". Xie Rouxi just turned one this year.

After recovering in the hospital, Xie Rouxi gradually learned some of her true situation from others.She lost her mother when she was a child and has been crying since she was a child. She is the little princess who has been coaxed by her grandfather Xie Kangnian all day long. She is the most unusual existence in the Xie family.Therefore, Xie Rouxi was consistent at home and was the only Xie family member who dared to openly challenge Xie Yuan, the "hundred-billion-dollar Xie".

But now, she can't remember anything, her personality has become submissive, and she is as helpless as an injured little rabbit being slaughtered all day long.Although in a sense, Zhang Zhaodi has disappeared in 2026, but judging from Xie Rouxi's character and thinking now, it is Zhang Zhaodi who continues to live in the West Market in 2016.

After coming out of the hospital, Xie Rouxi returned to the Xie family mansion, which was still as unfamiliar to her as the hospital.In particular, the Xie family was very talkative, and every look or movement could make her extremely sensitive and have low self-esteem struggle for a long time. Therefore, Xie Rouxi, who was discharged from the hospital, felt deeply fearful and uncomfortable with everything.

The most tragic thing is that in order to prevent her from having a psychological burden, her grandfather would not let anyone mention the sequelae to Xie Rouxi.Therefore, the reborn Xie Rouxi has no idea about the sequelae identified by experts, and still lives in anxiety and fear that others will expose her.

Ever since "Purple Fruit Picture" was burned, the harsh voice in her head disappeared, and what followed was an uncontrollable fear and uneasiness in her heart.Especially in the unfamiliar Xie family, this dark force flickered in and out of Xie Rouxi's heart, seeming to be always ready to engulf her.

Fear made Xie Rouxi gradually refuse to talk to anyone, including her grandfather Xie Kangnian. Her anxiety made her become introverted, refusing all interactions with people, and only wanted to stay in her room all day.Everyone was helpless about Xie Rouxi's changes. Grandpa found one doctor after another to treat her, which made Xie Rouxi more and more resistant, and finally reached the point where she was unwilling to open the door.

Just when Xie Rouxi thought she would be abandoned by the world around her, her grandfather, who loved her deeply, accepted the advice of a top psychologist and mixed sleeping pills into Xie Rouxi's food, and then while she was sleeping, The granddaughter Xie Rouxi, who was in panic all day long, was successfully brought to Xiang Island.

Without the supervision of everyone, Xie Rouxi gradually accepted her grandfather in a completely new environment.At his home in Xiangdao, it took the old man Xie Kangnian a full three months of care, care and companionship before Xie Rouxi took the initiative to talk to him for the first time.

He remembered clearly that in the evening, Xie Rouxi, who was sitting on the balcony watching the sun slowly disappear from the sea level, suddenly turned around and asked Xie Kangnian: "Grandpa, why don't you give up on me? It's like being alone in the rain, If you insist on holding an umbrella, I won’t be able to walk fast, you will get wet, and my illness will not be cured!”

"Sick? Do you think you are sick?"

"Well, I'm sick. I have random thoughts and panic all day long. My mind is full of bad thoughts, and I have no way to control them. In the past, there would be another voice in my head, and I couldn't get rid of it. It must be something bad. Schizophrenia or some kind of depression!" Xie Rouxi lowered her head and said pitifully.

She had been holding back these thoughts for a long time and could not find anyone to tell her. Today was the first time she wanted to tell her grandpa.

Xie Kangnian's reaction was very calm. There was no blame or questioning in his tone. He just continued to discuss the issue: "Oh, have you learned about this and feel that you need to see a psychiatrist?"

"No, it's not. I've searched for knowledge about this on the Internet, but don't go to the doctor. Otherwise, others will think I'm crazy, and they will look down on me even more! I don't want to go!" Xie Rouxi became a little excited.

"Xixi, why do you care what others think? Are others important?" "Other people are not important, but I just care about their opinions. I always feel that they will laugh and look down on me!"

Xie Kangnian continued to ask: "Why do you laugh and look down on you? Is it because they are better than you in every aspect? Can a person who is better than others in one aspect be able to laugh at others and look down on them?"

"That doesn't seem to be the case. Human beings shouldn't be like this. They..."

At this point, Xie Rouxi was speechless. She thought of many people in Xin'an University, their attitudes and behaviors towards her, and her mother's constant accusations and complaints against her.

"Xixi, grandpa, let me tell you a story. It's about this old house. Do you want to hear it?"

"Okay, I want to hear it!"

Faced with Xie Rouxi's rare confession, Xie Kangnian decided to tell her a story. He believed that with his granddaughter's intelligence, he would understand the truth.

Therefore, Xie Kangnian said that people in West Market believe in Feng Shui the most. Not only do they often ask for fortune-telling before making major decisions in life, but they also ask for blessings when their new house is built or when they move in, hoping that everything will go smoothly.Therefore, in the West City, no one cares about the houses that have had murders or accidents, which are what people in the West call gray houses, even if the location, house type, and community of these houses are particularly good.

At that time, Xie Kangnian was in his early 20s and had little savings.An accidental opportunity brought him to the West Market, where he discovered the existence of Gray House while renting a house.This taboo that others would avoid would turn into a rare business opportunity for Xie Kangnian.

After being introduced by many people, he contacted several capable psychics and soothsayers, and planned to perform a ritual to exorcise evil spirits and pray for the gray house.Then, he found several radio stations that urgently needed to build word-of-mouth and several large companies that needed to save money on advertising, and told them that there was a very good project and he could invite them to participate.After receiving support from these radio stations and companies, Tse Kangnian produced a program that was very unpopular at the time, and that was "Prayers in Gray Houses".

This is an unprecedented program. Many people laughed at Xie Kangnian for being crazy. It turned out that he wanted to use people's curiosity about the unknown and obsession with Feng Shui to completely reverse the status of Gray House in everyone's minds.

He first posted a notice on the outside of these gray houses saying that he would publicly pray for the blessings on a certain day in a certain month and year, and then authorized several radio stations to broadcast the blessing process exclusively.Through the radio, he directly presented the previously invisible process of exorcism and blessing to the audience, and also set up audience interaction, Q&A and lucky draw sessions.
