Chapter 221

The phone was not hung up and the call remained ongoing.

However, there was no more sound coming from the other end.

Li Zhuiyuan put the microphone on the counter, pointed at Aunt Xu who was standing in the distance, then pointed at the phone, and then walked back with the bag containing the story newspaper.

The evening breeze in Beijing, wrapped in the hustle and bustle, blew on the young man.

The phone call that night at Aunt Zhang’s grocery store almost became his nightmare.

Now, he doesn't care anymore.

It's not that he was generous and willing to forgive, but he knew very well what to do to inflict the heaviest blow to Li Lan.

I am your test subject, but in my eyes, you are a failure.

On this basis, any unnecessary words and actions are just the incompetent barking of a loser.

This is also the reason why Li Lan stopped talking.

Because she felt that her condition had really improved.

When we walked back to the gate of Fengze Garden, Taiye, Runsheng and Lin Shuyou also came out.

The old man stood alone at the front, his face red, but he stood very steadily and didn't need anyone's support at all.

Li Sanjiang: "Sent away?"

Li Zhuiyuan: “Yes.”

Li Sanjiang reached out and patted the boy's arm and said nothing more.

He had already said most of what he needed to say during the day.

Even Lin Shuyou could tell that the old man's attention was always on Xiaoyuan while he was eating, so how could Li Sanjiang not see it?

Our first meeting at Shichahai was indeed a fate, but this fate was just like the tobacco in a cigarette, which would burn to ashes after being lit.

This second time, it was a little too obvious.

"Come, Xiao Yuanhou, we will go home tomorrow. Please accompany me for a walk. Let's breathe in the dragon energy under the imperial city."

"Grandpa, let's go inside. There's only exhaust gas on the roadside."

"Hahaha!"

In the end, this step didn't last long. Li Sanjiang was tired after walking too much in recent days.

After returning to the hotel to rest, everyone rushed to the airport early the next morning.

I didn't bring much when I came, but when I left, I brought back a lot of local specialties and souvenirs, big and small bags, all of which I would take back to the village to give as gifts.

If you want people to listen to you and cooperate with you, you have to give them some benefits. No one is willing to provide you with emotional value for no reason.

Li Sanjiang didn't understand what "emotional value" was, but he had long seen through the ways of the world.

When the plane took off, Li Zhuiyuan took the initiative to put his hand on the back of his great-grandfather's hand.

Li Sanjiang adjusted his sitting posture and breathing. This was his second time on a plane, but he was still nervous.

After the plane was flying steadily, Li Sanjiang took out the story newspaper, spread it out, crossed his legs, and looked at the clouds outside the window, then looked down at the story.

By the way, I asked the flight attendant for a cup of coffee.

After taking a sip, I didn't take a second sip until the flight attendant took it away before the plane landed.

After landing at Xingdong Airport, walking out of the airport, seeing the blue sky and white clouds of Nantong, breathing the air of his hometown, Li Sanjiang became full of energy.

The first thing I did was to strike a match and light a cigarette to lower the air quality in my hometown.

Uncle Qin and Xiong Shan, who had already received the return flight information, came to pick them up on a tricycle.

On the way back, Li Sanjiang began to talk to Xiong Shan about what he saw and heard on the plane.

"Shan Hou, I heard that when you are on an airplane, the flight attendant can light your cigarette and pour you Maotai.

Alas, I didn’t expect it to be fake. I can’t even smoke on this plane. I’m so suffocated.”

Li Zhuiyuan was playing with the pager in his hand. Things in Beijing had come to an end for the time being. Now, it was time to focus on the next wave.

Tan Wenbin didn't contact me specifically these days, but he would receive a standard pager every three days to indicate that he was still alive.

After arriving home, Li Sanjiang started visiting relatives and friends and showed the photos he had taken in Beijing to Blind Liu, who had poor eyesight.

Li Zhuiyuan first visited Yin Meng's condition. Yin Meng had recovered and was wearing a large vest, holding a saw, and making a coffin.

Burials are more strictly controlled here, so it’s impossible to open a coffin shop, but if you have time, you can make a few occasionally and you won’t have trouble selling them.

Everyone who lived in my great-grandfather's house, consciously or unconsciously, would find something to do so as to appear that they were not just eating for free.

Yin Meng was not disappointed that she didn't go to Chengjingli, because Aunt Liu took her to Shanghai on the way.

As usual, Aunt Liu would go out to get some things for the old lady every once in a while. This time, she brought Yin Meng with her on purpose, thinking that she could also go out and relax.

Anyway, for Yin Meng, she prefers bustling shopping malls to famous scenic spots and historical sites.

However, this did not stop her from using it as an excuse to say to Runsheng with a hint of resentment, "Did you have fun?"

Runsheng: “Hey.”

Yin Meng pointed to a new coffin next to him and said, "Then paint it for me."

Runsheng: "Okay."

Yin Meng put down the saw in his hand, picked up the teacup beside him, and gulped down half a cup of patchouli tea. Some of the tea dripped down his neck, mixing with sweat and flowing down.

Ever since Yin Meng was soaked in a tank of poisonous insects when Aunt Liu taught her the art of poison, her skin has always been very fair, the kind of fair skin that a grown-up girl should have.

Aunt Liu explained that girls from mountain cities have naturally fair and moist skin, and Yin Meng had simply not taken care of her skin in the past, plus... she ate too roughly.

In other words, the guys in the team basically have someone they love, and since they all know some of Yin Meng's characteristics, no one thinks she is pretty.

In fact, Meng Meng now wears fashionable clothes and goes to the barber shop in town to get a fashionable hairstyle...

Not to mention in town, even in the city, the rate of people turning back to look at you is quite high.

The grandfather said that some people had come to sound out the situation and wanted to find a matchmaker for Yin Meng. Several of the men came from relatively well-off families, and I don’t know when they saw Yin Meng and became obsessed with her.

But all of these were rejected by the master without hesitation, and the reason for the refusal was that the girl already had a boyfriend.

Yin Meng sat on the chair next to them, swinging her legs, watching Runsheng busying around, occasionally mentioning how bored she was at home and how envious she was of them being able to go out and play.

In fact, on the way back, Xiong Shan said that Aunt Liu took Yin Meng to Shanghai and bought a lot of new clothes, including some for Lihua.

But Runsheng did not point it out, he just responded.

Lin Shuyou went to the small room to visit the White Crane Boy.

Because my grandfather also went to Beijing, no one came in to clean up these days.

When Lin Shuyou came in, he not only found that the two generals he had carved himself, Zeng and Sun, had fallen to the ground, but even the White Crane Boy was also on the ground.

However, the former two were covered in dust, having rolled on the ground for many times, while the boy's was brand new and clean, and he stood firmly on the ground.

This was the first day of bullying in the new workplace, and I knocked two former colleagues off the table.

As a result, the next day, he found that no one was cleaning up the mess, so in order to continue the bullying, the boy simply came down himself.

Lin Shuyou put the three statues in place and started cleaning the place.

While squeezing the dirty rag, I heard a "baji, baji" sound on the altar.

The boy really likes this statue, and also loves this simple temple. When he has nothing to do, he likes to come here to play.

The main reason was that the standards that the young man had set for Him were too high, just like Lin Fuan and Chen Shoumen were eager to be annexed. The current situation of the Qin and Liu families' Dragon King sects had too many vacancies, and it was really suitable for investment.

Lin Shuyou washed the rag, shook his hands, and said, "Brother Xiaoyuan said that he was afraid that you would be bored, so he could ask one of the ancestors of the Qin and Liu families to come and keep you company."

The statue, which was still shaking, suddenly froze.

Lin Shuyou: “Hehehe.”

The boy realized that he was being teased, and took the initiative to move forward, trying to hit the medium who dared to commit treason!

Lin Shuyou hugged the boy statue and wiped it carefully with a cloth.

Before putting it back, he lightly tapped the center of the statue's eyebrows with his ring finger.

"hiss……"

Lin Shuyou covered his fingers in pain and jumped in circles on the spot.

What is the real top-grade thunder wood? It is not the wood that has been struck by lightning by chance in reality. There are really some things left in it. When you tap your finger on it, you will feel a burning and electric shock in an instant.

The boy was happy.

With a "bang", he leaned back and fell on the altar.

After Lin Shuyou recovered, he blew on the blackened tip of his ring finger and stood the boy statue up again.

"Clap!"

As soon as it stood up, it fell backwards again.

Stand up again, and fall down again.

Lin Shuyou was speechless for a while: "Why didn't you look so arrogant when facing that person last night? You were so cowardly that I couldn't even eat properly."

Hearing this, the boy statue lying on the altar began to sway from side to side.

That is to say, now Lin Shuyou has not entered into a spirit medium state, and the boy has not possessed him. If he were in a spirit medium state, the boy would probably have to teach this spirit medium a lesson. Who on earth is that person? How dare he act rashly in front of him!

Even if I change to the underworld system, under the command of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, I was once just an official in the ghost court. What is he to others!
No matter whether it is a ghost or a yang god, what kind of monsters and demons dare to approach him?

You went to eat with this kind of person without any reason, without even saying hello in advance, and I haven't settled the score with you yet!

Seeing that the boy was really angry, Lin Shuyou had no choice but to pick him up and start coaxing him.

After a long period of coaxing, the boy finally calmed down.

In fact, the boy has always been that boy, and He is still that high and mighty Yin God, and He has never changed.

What has changed is Lin Shuyou's status. Due to various reasons, he can now really be on good terms with Tongzi.

In the past, I was standing too low and even kneeling, and I looked down upon the Lord Yin Shen on the altar. Now that we are on an equal footing and without any filter, I feel that the boy is quite down-to-earth.

Lin Shuyou closed the door and walked out.

He has always had a dream. If in the future all officers and generals and Yin gods can have the same equal relationship as he and the boy, then the casualty rate of officers and generals when fighting against demons and defending the way of righteousness will definitely be much lower.

Brother Xiaoyuan has the ability to change the inheritance system of officers and generals, but Brother Xiaoyuan does not need to do so. From Brother Xiaoyuan's point of view, he only needs to ensure that both the boy and the two generals help him work.

Then this responsibility and mission naturally fell on himself. Lin Shuyou felt that this was the meaning of following Brother Xiaoyuan across the river.

At this moment, Lin Shuyou suddenly felt that he had matured.

As he walked out, he adjusted the non-existent collar of his short-sleeved shirt.

Until the grandfather's voice sounded:
"Youhou, go deliver the goods!"

"it is good!"

The man who is determined to lead the change in the future pushes the cart out skillfully and loads the goods swiftly.

Li Zhuiyuan, who was sitting on the second-floor terrace chatting with A'li, was a little surprised that his grandfather came back so early. He even still held the gift that was supposed to be given to Liu Jinxia in his hand.

Li Sanjiang looked up and called to Li Zhuiyuan, "Little Marquis Yuan, come with me to the health center to see Blind Liu."

Li Zhuiyuan stood up and went downstairs.

Runsheng and Yin Meng, who were busy on the first floor, put down their work and looked at Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Zhuiyuan waved at them, indicating that they didn't need to follow for the time being.

If it was just a simple visit, he could go alone.

Li Sanjiang rode a tricycle and took Li Zhuiyuan to the health center in Shigang Town.

Shinan Town, where Siyuan Village is located, also has its own health center, but it is too small, like a university infirmary, so nearby villagers go to Shigang Town whenever they have any serious illnesses.

"Grandpa, what happened to Grandma Liu?"

"I don't know. Her neighbor said she vomited blood at night and was rushed to the hospital. It's been two days. When I went there, no one was home."

Li Sanjiang and Liu Xiazi have been friends for many years. After all, they are both in the same business and can be considered as half colleagues. They often introduce business to each other.

It was reasonable for him to go and take a look. As for bringing Xiao Yuanhou with him, it was because Li Sanjiang knew that Blind Liu had helped Xiao Yuanhou to exorcise evil spirits before. If Blind Liu was really dying, Xiao Yuanhou should go and see him for the last time.

After arriving at the health center, Li Sanjiang found the ward where Blind Liu was staying by asking around.

As soon as I opened the door, before I had time to say hello, I saw Liu Jinxia lying on the bed, her body began to twitch, and her head tilted to the side of the bed:
"vomit!"

He kept vomiting out red stuff.

Xiang Hou was prepared and caught the water with a spittoon.

After Blind Liu stopped vomiting and lay back on the bed with his eyes squinted, Xiang Hou stood up and planned to deal with the dirt in the spittoon.

Then, he saw Li Sanjiang and Li Zhuiyuan standing at the door.

"Uncle Sanjiang, you are here."

Li Sanjiang looked at the red color in the spittoon, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with your mother..."

Even if a young man vomited blood like this, it would be a bad thing, let alone an elderly person.

Xiang Hou led Li Sanjiang out of the ward to talk and informed him of the doctor's diagnosis.

Li Zhuiyuan did not go out, but walked towards the bed.

He just saw Liu Jinxia's vomit. It was red, but not all blood. It was just stained with blood. However, this situation was considered quite serious.

Liu Jinxia had lost consciousness, was hanging with intravenous drip, and her eyes were half open and half closed.

Li Zhuiyuan reached out, opened her eyelids, and then took her pulse.

The pulse is very strong.

But the pace is obviously slow, like a wild horse that may break free at any time.

If it was really a normal physical illness, then Li Zhuiyuan would have no choice but to rely on the doctor.

So far, Li Zhuiyuan has not sensed any abnormal aura remaining on Liu Jinxia, ​​but he still wants to do a final test. To be on the safe side, he plans to use the most foolproof method.

Li Zhuiyuan took out a piece of talisman paper, pinched it, and let it slide down from Liu Jinxia's eyebrows all the way to her ankles, and then pulled it back.

The talisman paper ignited during the process of being pulled back and instantly turned into green smoke.

The green smoke that should have dissipated gathered on Liu Jinxia's abdomen, forming wavy patterns.

Li Zhuiyuan stretched out his hand and dispersed the green smoke.

It seems that there is a problem in the stomach.

It was hidden so deeply that it even avoided my eyes.

Li Zhuiyuan lifted up Liu Jinxia's clothes, placed his left palm on the old woman's abdomen, applied a little force, and pressed down.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhuiyuan started to move in the negative direction.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

A dark brown shadow finally appeared in Li Zhuiyuan's field of vision. The shadow seemed to sense that someone was investigating it, and immediately raised its head, revealing a single eye.

This is, curse.

Shizhuo Zhao, whose entire family was once wiped out by himself, was good at using spells.

Blood mist overflowed from the palm of Li Zhuiyuan's right hand, and he tried to break the curse by force, but as if stimulated by something, the one-eyed abominable thing began to tremble violently, and Liu Jinxia, ​​who had just vomited blood, began to twitch again.

This curse cannot be broken by force.

If the same curse fell on Runsheng or Lin Shuyou, they would be able to withstand it if the means were more intense.

But if it happened to Liu Jinxia, ​​she would die before she could break the curse.

Li Zhuiyuan withdrew his hand, cleared the blood mist on his right hand, bent down, and picked up a plastic basin under the bed.

While he was doing these things before, Xiang Hou was talking to Taiye outside the ward about his mother's condition. Even the doctor who was supposed to come to check on the ward was stopped by Li Sanjiang and questioned.

At this moment, hearing the noise coming from inside, Xiang Hou and the doctor came in.

Aunt Xianghou snatched the plastic basin from Li Zhuiyuan's hand and said, "Little Yuanhou, stay away from it. It's dirty."

She used her body to push Li Zhuiyuan away and went to catch the dirty stuff her mother vomited.

After vomiting again, Liu Jinxia's spirits suddenly improved, and a blush appeared on her originally pale face.

"Where's Cuicui?"

"Cui Cui is in school. She will come over after school."

"Oh."

Liu Jinxia looked behind her daughter: "Sanjiang Hou!"

"Hey." Li Sanjiang responded, "I went to see you as soon as I came back from Beijing. I wanted to show off, but I didn't expect that you, an old blind man, would stay in the hospital to avoid me."

Liu Jinxia snorted, "What's the matter? I won't let you show off. Why are you so proud? When my Cuicui is admitted to Beijing University, I will also go to Beijing to have a look."

"Okay, okay, you're really good."

The doctor came over to check on her, and first comforted Liu Jinxia by saying that her condition had improved. Then he motioned for Xiang Hou to come out with him and asked the patient's family whether they needed to be discharged home early.

Not to mention the countryside, even the elderly in the city would want to die at home when faced with such a situation.

Xiang Hou covered her face and suppressed her tears, but she still shook her head firmly, hoping that her mother could continue to stay in the hospital.

Taking the baby home means you can prepare for the funeral and wait for death.

She was unwilling to accept this result.

When Xiang Hou came back, she had wiped away her tears, but her eyes and nose were slightly red. She sat down and began to peel an apple for her mother, cutting it piece by piece and putting it into her mother's mouth.

Liu Jinxia: "You can eat it too, this apple is sweet."

"Mom, you eat first, there's more here."

"Then you should eat two less and save some for Cuicui after school."

"She's still young, and she'll have plenty of opportunities to eat good food in the future."

"You, this is the first time I've seen a mother snatching food from her daughter."

Li Zhuiyuan walked out of the ward and saw his grandfather squatting on the terrace at the end of the corridor, smoking.

Of course the grandfather saw that this was Liu Jinxia's last burst of energy.

When Li Zhuiyuan walked over, the old man sighed: "People, true or false."

He really didn't expect that he just went out for a trip and when he came back he had to witness the departure of his old friend.

Li Zhuiyuan said, "Grandpa, actually..."

Li Sanjiang spoke first: "Actually, I understand. People are like this at this age. Little Marquis Yuan, who knows, one day I might also..."

Li Sanjiang stood up and patted his trouser legs: "I'll call Shanpao Village and ask Shanpao to come over to see Blind Liu. After all, we have been friends for so many years."

Li Zhuiyuan put his hands in his trouser pockets and watched his grandfather leave in a hurry.

The boy got used to it.

My grandfather is actually a very shrewd and insightful person, but sometimes, due to the influence of good fortune, he becomes confused.

I just wanted to tell my grandfather that there was a cure, but he didn't listen. This must be because luck actively avoided it. This kind of thing has happened many times before.

It seems that Fuyun doesn't want to get involved in this matter.

Li Zhuiyuan followed slowly. His grandfather had just finished a phone call: "Little Marquis Yuan, you stay here. I'm going to go outside to buy some fruits for you to eat."

"Ah."

After Li Sanjiang left, Li Zhuiyuan picked up the phone and called the university's bargain store.

"Hey."

The person who answered the phone was Lu Yi.

"it's me."

"Brother Xiaoyuan!"

Lu Yi on the other end of the phone sat up straight, quickly picked up the pen on the counter, and moved the notebook in front of him.

Li Zhuiyuan asked Lu Yi to help call Aunt Zhang's grocery store and inform Runsheng and the others to prepare some of the things they needed.

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhuiyuan walked back to the ward.

The reason why he didn't call himself was because Aunt Zhang had to go and call someone first, which was too troublesome, and some things couldn't be said directly to Aunt Zhang. It was more convenient to have Lu Yi as a voice station.

Li Zhuiyuan walked into the ward and continued to observe Liu Jinxia, ​​thinking about the reasonable way to break the curse.

"Little Marquis Yuan, is it fun in the capital?"

Liu Jinxia "looked better" and was willing to talk.

"Fun."

"Your great grandfather has you, and he is really lucky to have you, haha."

"This is the prize that Grandpa won himself."

"How could he dare to go to the capital alone? Oh, I really envy the Marquis of Sanjiang, he lived a carefree life and finally brought home a good child."

"Grandma Liu, my great grandfather brought you a gift."

"Oh, what gift? That's flattery money."

Xiang Hou handed Li Zhuiyuan a freshly peeled apple.

"Thank you, Aunt Xianghou."

Xiang Hou asked, "Xiao Yuan Hou, did you see your mother in Beijing?"

"Yes, she asked me to say hello to you."

Xiang Hou smiled and fixed his hair.

When Liu Jinxia heard this, she turned her head and curled her lips.

She didn't believe that Marquis Lan would say such a thing. It was clearly nonsense made up by Marquis Yuan.

Liu Jinxia knew very early on that Lan Hou was a special person. He was very smart, but not very human.

The reason why I liked to play with my own daughter was because she had no other friends, was quiet and not annoying, and could help me run errands.

My own daughter is so naive that she still treats others as her childhood best friend.

The bottle of intravenous drip was about to run out, Xiang Hou stood up:

"I'll call the nurse to change the saline bottle."

After Xiang Hou left, only Liu Jinxia and Li Zhuiyuan were left in the ward.

Liu Jinxia: "Xiao Yuanhou, help grandma open the bedside table and see if there is any ball of thread."

"Hey."

Li Zhuiyuan walked over and opened the drawer first, but found nothing. He then squatted down and opened the lower cabinet door, and found two candles, a bottle of ink, a brush, and a ball wrapped in several layers of newspaper.

He had seen these things before. When he encountered the little yellow warbler and was possessed by the ghost and fell into a coma, Liu Jinxia and Li Juxiang used this set of things to help him break the spell.

It seems that Aunt Xiang Hou intends to use this method to protect her mother from disaster and prolong her life.

I actually thought the same thing as I did.

Since the curse cannot be broken on Liu Jinxia, ​​what can be done is to transfer the curse out.

However, this curse is very fierce, and no matter how strong Aunt Xianghou's life is, she cannot withstand it.

Cuicui...maybe it's possible.

But whether you can withstand it is one thing, and whether you can turn it around is another.

People with strong destiny are not easily cursed.

If you curse someone with a hard life, you have to worry about whether you will be cursed back.

The person who cast the curse on Liu Jinxia was very resourceful. The curse was successful on her, but because her fate was too strong, the power of the curse was hidden very deeply.

This curse is also very special. When I explored it and planned to attack it before, it was obviously provoked.

How could a curse with a certain degree of self-awareness be able to enter a tiger's den and then easily get out and fall into a dragon's den again?
"Little Marquis Yuan, is there anything?"

"No, it's empty."

Li Zhuiyuan closed the cabinet door.

Liu Jinxia, ​​who was lying on the hospital bed, cursed with a smile:
"You little bitch, you're still clear-headed."

Liu Jinxia felt no resentment, only relief. If Xiang Hou intended to do this, she would stop him. After all, it didn't matter if she left, Cuicui still needed someone to take care of her.

Li Zhuiyuan sat on the chair next to him and started eating an apple.

Liu Jinxia's problem was not serious. At least the curse was nothing to Li Zhuiyuan. However, if the parasites were outside, they could easily tear apart and crush a baby to death, but if they got into human organs, it would be very troublesome.

He had to think of a way to draw out the curse.

"Grandma Liu, have you been away from home recently?"

"What's wrong?"

"Just ask."

"I went to Yancheng. I was invited to attend a religious ceremony. I went and came back the same day.

That family used to run a fishery in our town. When their two daughters-in-law became pregnant at the same time, they both came to me to test the gender of the baby.

I said they were all sons, and it turned out to be true when they were born.

Later, they often asked me to do calculations, because they recognized my ability.

This time her husband passed away, so she asked me to perform a ritual.

Your great-grandfather went to Beijing for a trip. If he were at home, I would ask him to go with us.

That family was rich. They made money from running a fishery before, and later they switched to running a large fishery and made a lot of money. "

Li Zhuiyuan: It’s a good thing that my grandfather went to Beijing. If I had gone with you, he would have brought back some things.

"Grandma Liu, are you the only one doing the ritual?"

"That's impossible. We invited a lot of people, including monks and Taoists. They are not the fake ones we usually see. They all came from the mountains and temples. Their style and aura are not acting."

Li Zhuiyuan nodded and continued eating his apple.

Liu Jinxia: "Xiao Yuanhou..."

"Ok?"

Liu Jinxia: "Cuicui, take her out to play more often."

"Ah."

Liu Jinxia stopped talking, opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling in the ward.

Li Sanjiang came back with his shopping and kept talking to Liu Jinxia.

Li Zhuiyuan had been sitting in the corner, deducing the method of inducing the curse.

In the afternoon, Uncle Shan also came.

The three of them chatted for a long time beside the bed.

Liu Jinxia was in very good spirits and didn't seem tired at all.

It was almost dusk when Li Sanjiang and Uncle Shan got up and prepared to leave.

"Grandpa, I'm waiting here for Cuicui to finish school."

"Wait for Cuicui to finish school?"

Xiang Hou said, "Then let Xiao Yuan Hou stay here. When I take Cuicui back in the evening, I will also bring Xiao Yuan Hou back with me."

Li Sanjiang nodded: "That's it, thank you for your hard work, Xiang Hou."

Grandpa Tai and Grandpa Shan left.

After school, Cuicui ran over with her schoolbag on her back, sweating all over.

When she saw Brother Yuanhou was also here, her eyes lit up. When she saw that her grandmother looked much better and started to drink porridge, she really smiled.

"Okay, take the kids back and come back tomorrow morning. I've used up all the salt water anyway."

"Then I'll take them back."

Cuicui asked in surprise, "Mom, aren't we staying here with grandma tonight?"

Liu Jinxia: "Cuicui, be obedient. Grandma is fine now. Come home with your mother."

Caregiving is a very tiring job, and Liu Jinxia doesn't want to see her granddaughter suffer.

After Xiang Hou took Cuicui and Li Zhuiyuan out of the clinic, they went to a small restaurant outside for dinner. She ordered several meat dishes.

Cuicui thought her grandmother was really well, so she ate happily.

Li Zhuiyuan noticed that Aunt Xianghou had no appetite, but she was forcing herself to stuff the meat into her mouth and swallow it.

This is because you know you have to "work" at night, so you nourish yourself in advance.

After sending Cuicui back home, she would probably leave home alone again at night and come to the ward.

After dinner, Aunt Xianghou rode her bike and took the two of them back to the village. She first sent Li Zhuiyuan back to the dam. After waving goodbye to Cuicui, Li Zhuiyuan walked into the west room.

In the west room, everything that needed to be prepared was ready, and the house was rich in various materials. It could be considered a deluxe version of the one Liu Jinxia and her daughter had.

Runsheng: "Xiaoyuan, what happened to Grandma Liu?"

Yin Meng and Lin Shuyou have little contact with Liu Jinxia, ​​but Runsheng has had contact with Liu Jinxia many times because of Uncle Shan.

The small group of three often completed a job and had a meal to celebrate. Then his grandfather and Liu Jinxia would go for a second meal just to speak ill of Li Sanjiang.

Li Zhuiyuan: "I was cursed."

Runsheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Is it here?"

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head: "No, I was cursed outside."

Although the person under the peach tree was only there to suppress the evil spirits and prevent them from approaching, the people of Xuanmen are not included in this list. Didn’t Xin Jiyue come here last time?

But Liu Jinxia lives in this village after all. If you ask someone who dares to come to this village to curse someone, that person will definitely not allow it, after all, it is under its nose.

Li Zhuiyuan went to the second floor, took a shower, changed his clothes, and told A'li about the arrangements for tonight. He originally planned to let A'li go back to the east room to rest first, but A'li shook her head and refused, continuing to sit in the room and dig at the ancestral tablets.

This means that she will wait here for the boy to come back before going back to the house to rest.

Li Zhuiyuan agreed.

Uncle Shan stayed at home for dinner and drank with Li Sanjiang, and they all got drunk.

Once this wine is mixed with emotion, it becomes more intoxicating.

The grandfather was carried by Lin Shuyou to the bed in the room on the second floor, and Uncle Shan was put into the coffin where he usually slept by Runsheng. In fact, the coffin he slept in was the longevity coffin that Uncle Shan had reserved, so it could be considered as moving into the new house in advance.

After checking the time and thinking it was about time, Li Zhuiyuan packed up his belongings and went to the hospital with the three of them.

I thought Aunt Xianghou would have to wait until Cuicui finished her homework and went to sleep before coming out, but who knew that when everyone arrived at the hospital, they saw her just parked the car and walked in.

Not only did he leave early, but he also took another village road and didn't pass by my great-grandfather's house.

Li Zhuiyuan knew that she was definitely not avoiding him, but avoiding her grandfather and Shan Da Ye. After all, those two old men knew what their family was good at.

"Ayou, go knock her out, be gentle."

Lin Shuyou took a deep breath and knocked him out gently. This was extremely difficult.

Yin Meng: "I have a knockout drug."

Runsheng: "Xiaoyuan knows."

Aunt Xiang Hou is our own, so it’s better not to use Yin Meng’s medicine unless it is necessary.

Lin Shuyou was originally a professional martial artist, and his kung fu improved significantly after he walked along the river. When Aunt Xiang Hou was going up the stairs, he jumped out from behind her and hit her on the back of the neck with a knife. Aunt Xiang Hou fainted immediately.

Lin Shuyou hugged the man and immediately tried to check his breath.

After confirming that nothing went wrong, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Zhuiyuan came up and said, "The next ward is empty. Put her there, tie her hands and feet, and stuff cotton cloth in her mouth."

With the knife chopping, there is no way to confirm the duration of the coma. Moreover, people with a tough life like Aunt Xiang Hou become stronger in times like this.

Lin Shuyou: “Understood!”

Li Zhuiyuan: "Yin Meng, go and put the Qingxin Talisman on Grandma Liu. Runsheng, go check the morgue."

Yin Meng gently pushed open the door of the ward. With her agility, she quickly sneaked in. Liu Jinxia had not fallen asleep yet and her eyes were still open.

She knew what her current situation was. She was about to fall into eternal sleep, so she had to take a closer look.

Suddenly, everything went dark before my eyes and a talisman was stuck on my forehead.

The last breath was actually a false fire, and the Qingxin Talisman just suppressed it, so Liu Jinxia fell into a coma.

After Li Zhuiyuan came in, he checked Liu Jinxia's condition and judged that the old lady would have no problem holding on until tomorrow morning.

In other words, given her current condition, the best outcome would be seeing the sun tomorrow morning.

The reason why Li Zhuiyuan left everyone else behind and did this secretly was because he couldn't judge whether this incident would be considered a ripple in the next wave.

For their own good, they should remain ignorant of the situation for the time being, so as to avoid being implicated.

The formation was not difficult and was quickly set up.

Two candles were lit, and a ball of thread soaked in black dog blood was tied around Liu Jinxia's abdomen, with one end held in Li Zhuiyuan's hand.

The formation was activated, and Li Zhuiyuan planned to go first.

At this time, Lin Shuyou's eyelids jumped, he was suspicious for a moment, then he realized it and took the initiative to step forward and said:

"Brother Xiaoyuan, please transfer the curse to me."

Li Zhuiyuan: "It's okay, I'll go first."

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Xiaoyuan, let me go first."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I know that it is highly unlikely that the case will be transferred to me, so I came first."

Lin Shuyou: “…”

Li Zhuiyuan began to try to transfer the cursed energy. He tried very hard, but failed as expected.

This is normal. Even the Yin Spirit doesn't dare to come down from his body. It would be really strange if the curse, which obviously has preliminary self-awareness, dares to come over.

Li Zhuiyuan handed the line to Yin Meng and took a step back.

He had long known that it was unlikely that the transfer of cursed energy would be successful if he and others were used as carriers, but he had to give it a try anyway. It would be best if he could find out the preferences of this cursed energy, such as which characteristics it was more sensitive to.

In this way, he could prescribe the right medicine. He had asked Runsheng to check the morgue before, just to confirm whether there was a corpse there. Later, he would use Nuo opera puppetry to pinch out a corpse, "dress up" it in a way that the cursed force would like, and trick it out.

As for the original owner of the body, he should be compensated, and I will personally handle the funeral for him and help him to be properly liberated.

Yin Meng held the silk thread and activated the formation.

The cursed power had no reaction.

She is of Yin Changsheng's bloodline, and although it is already very thin, normal things really don't dare to come into her body.

It was Runsheng's turn. He held the silk thread and activated the formation, but there was still no response.

Runsheng had an evil aura on him, so that thing didn't dare to come up.

Li Zhuiyuan pursed his lips. It seemed that he would have to try and test the puppet's habits again next time he made it.

The last one to come up was Lin Shuyou. As a medium, he now had the closest relationship with the boy, so it was actually impossible.

But when the formation was activated, Li Zhuiyuan unexpectedly discovered that the curse power that had been hidden in Liu Jinxia's body suddenly became active.

Lin Shuyou also noticed it and began to seduce her actively.

But the thing did react, but it didn't come out yet.

Li Zhuiyuan: “Stop.”

Lin Shuyou let go of the line and asked in confusion: "Brother Xiaoyuan, why am I the only one who reacted?"

Logically speaking, he should be the one who should least react after Brother Xiaoyuan. After all, there was no movement when Yin Meng and Runsheng took over, and there was still the aura of the White Crane Boy on their bodies.

Li Zhuiyuan: "You have the spiritual thoughts left by the White Crane Boy. This kind of curse power should be extremely sensitive to spiritual thoughts. It is so hungry that even the spiritual thoughts left by the boy can excite it."

Lin Shuyou: "Spiritual thoughts?"

Runsheng: "Strong."

Lin Shuyou: "If Brother Bin were here, wouldn't he be able to seduce it with his two godsons?"

Li Zhuiyuan nodded, but the problem was that Tan Wenbin was not here.

In addition, he could make puppets at will, but he couldn't make spirits emerge from them. It was not clear whether it was too late to catch the evil spirits now. Evil spirits were probably the most lacking thing in the whole Nantong.

The scene suddenly fell into silence.

Li Zhuiyuan said, "Mengmeng, you look after Grandma Liu. Ah You, you look after Aunt Xianghou. Brother Runsheng, you take me home."

After Li Zhuiyuan and Runsheng left, Lin Shuyou said to Yin Meng, "Brother Xiaoyuan, have you come up with a solution? Are you going back to get the things?"

Yin Meng nodded: "It should be."

Lin Shuyou: "I just don't know what it's named after."

Yin Meng: "Just go next door, you'll know then."

After a while, Runsheng ran back to the ward and pushed open the door.

Yin Meng asked curiously, "Where's Brother Xiaoyuan?"

Runsheng: "Xiaoyuan and the others are behind."

Yin Meng: "They?"

Soon, Li Zhuiyuan walked into the ward, followed by another person...

It’s Ari.
