Three times married to Yama
Chapter 38 Amulet
He thought about it again before replying definitively, "No, I haven't met anyone recently, let alone any strange people."
"Sister, are you asking these questions because something happened? Has something happened in our family?"
I didn't tell him about the child in Sister Jiang's dream. He's still young, and his injuries are already serious enough. What if he gets scared again?
"It's nothing, just focus on recovering." I glanced at his phone. "Go back to playing the game, or your teammates will start yelling at you if you lose."
"Oh my god, I almost forgot! Thanks for reminding me, sister!" Jiahao immediately picked up his phone again and started playing with it, completely forgetting the question I had just asked.
As we came downstairs, we saw Sister Jiang talking to a man. When she saw us coming down, she immediately introduced him to us, "Master Yin, this is my husband, Wang Jiancheng. He just came back from the city."
I smiled and nodded as a greeting.
According to Ms. Jiang, her husband works in the city and comes home two or three times a week. Today is the day he is coming home.
I glanced at Wang Jiancheng casually. He looked to be in his forties, just like Sister Jiang, but he was thinner than Sister Jiang. He wore glasses and looked very refined. He had a red string around his neck with what looked like a pendant hanging from it.
I said to Wang Jiancheng, "May I see what you're wearing around your neck?"
"Huh?" Wang Jiancheng was taken aback, clearly surprised and puzzled by my request.
Sister Jiang glared at Wang Jiancheng, "What? Master Yin wants to see this, so hurry up and take it out."
Although Wang Jiancheng was puzzled, he still took out the red string. I looked closely and saw that hanging on the red string was a triangular talisman wrapped in a red envelope. Judging from the color of the patina, it must have been worn for a long time. The red color was almost turning black.
This is a talisman; I can tell.
"Mr. Wang, how long have you been wearing this?" I asked, pointing to his amulet.
Wang Jiancheng replied, "I've been wearing it since I can remember, probably until I'm the same age. My parents always told me to wear it and never take it off, so I always hold it in my mouth when I take a shower."
"You're really disgusting!" Sister Jiang couldn't help but punch Wang Jiancheng on the shoulder.
Then he asked me, "Master A-Yin, is there something wrong with this thing?"
I shook my head. "There's nothing wrong with the item. It's a talisman. Just keep wearing it."
Sister Jiang nodded, then asked nervously, "Then, what about the child in my dream? Master Yin, do you have any clue?"
I had a few clues, but not many, but I nodded anyway to put her mind at ease.
"By the way, did you encounter anything strange before you dreamed about that child?" I asked Sister Jiang.
Sister Jiang thought about it carefully but still shook her head. I looked at Wang Jiancheng again, "You really haven't taken off your amulet at all? Think carefully, not even for a second."
Seeing my serious expression, Wang Jiancheng tried hard to recall, and as he thought about it, his face turned a little red.
I,"?"
No, why are you blushing?
I looked at him suspiciously. He hesitated for a moment, and then Sister Jiang seemed to remember something. She slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "I remember now! Old Wang took off his amulet!"
"Oh? When did you pick them?" I asked.
Sister Jiang is an honest person. When I asked her this, she replied without thinking, "Just over a month ago, Lao Wang and I were watching a movie at home. The male and female protagonists took a bath together. Lao Wang was so eager to try it out, and that's when he took this thing off."
"He only took it off for three minutes, and then he put it back on. Could there have been something wrong with it that time?"
Wang Jiancheng, standing to the side, was blushing so deeply that his head looked like it was about to steam.
"Hey, honey, just tell me about getting the amulet! What do you mean by three minutes?!"
Sister Jiang glared at Wang Jiancheng with dissatisfaction. "What's wrong with saying this? I want to tell Master Yin all the details of this matter so that he can help us solve the problem."
I nodded with satisfaction. Sister Jiang was truly a reasonable and cooperative person who had entrusted me with this matter.
"Okay, I understand. I'll give you a few talismans first. Each of you should carry one close to your body and put another one on the door of your room. We'll prepare some things and come back tomorrow."
As I spoke, I handed them some talismans.
"Thank you, thank you Master Yin!" Sister Jiang and Wang Jiancheng both thanked me.
I nodded and decided to leave first.
I've never seen a ghost like this before, appearing in my dreams and demanding things from people. What's worse, it's gone even further, demanding living people.
I need to go back and look through the "Hundred Ghosts Record" that my dad left me to see if it's recorded there.
Yan Jinyue only said one sentence from beginning to end, and he really was a qualified bystander.
After getting in the car, I focused on driving. Yan Jinyue looked calmly ahead, but suddenly asked me, "What is a 'Mandarin Duck Bath'? Why do they take off their amulets when they take a Mandarin Duck Bath?"
I almost lost my grip on the steering wheel while I was driving. What was Yan Jinyue asking?
How could he ask this question so seriously, with such a nonchalant look in his eyes?
Does he really have a thirst for knowledge in his eyes?
Unfortunately, I had to drive, so I could only glance at Yan Jinyue quickly. But since he asked, as Yan Jinyue's assistant in entering the world, I definitely had to answer his question.
"Does Your Excellency bathe frequently?" I asked.
He replied, "Of course, I take a shower every night before going to sleep."
I couldn't help but curl the corners of my lips into a smile. "A 'couple's bath' is when a man and a woman bathe together, and then go to sleep together afterward."
Upon hearing this, Yan Jinyue's previously calm eyes suddenly trembled. He raised his hand, calmly brushed a strand of hair from his forehead, and then slowly nodded, "I understand."
"Good, you can ask me again if you have any questions next time," I replied.
I had some doubts. After all, Yan Jinyue was three thousand years old and had to enter the mortal world once every five hundred years. Did he really not know what a mandarin duck bath was?
After returning, Yan Jinyue silently went back to her room, and I also went into my room. I had to take out the Hundred Ghosts Record to see if there were any ghosts related to dreams.
When I took out the Hundred Ghosts Record, I didn't even need to flip through it, because one of the pages was glowing.
I quickly flipped to the glowing page, and my eyes lit up instantly. This was indeed the ghost I was looking for!
