Yu Suyun was a woman after all, and she was very sad that she couldn't keep her child.
There were tears in her eyes and sadness on her pale cheeks.
"It's okay, I don't blame you, I don't blame you... Suyun, I really don't blame you, someone has harmed our family!"
Chen Biao hurried to the emergency bed and held Yu Suyun's thin hand. The two of them started talking in whispers.
Soon Yu Suyun was sent to the ward.
In the ward, the diligent Chen Biao was busy running around.
Seeing this, Qiangzi and I said a few words to him and then we left. But before leaving, we agreed with Chen Biao to go to Chen Biao's hometown together tomorrow.
As for Yu Suyun, who had just undergone surgery, Chen Biao said that he would ask her mother to look after her before leaving tomorrow.
I looked at my watch and it was a little after five in the afternoon.
Qiangzi and I were talking as we walked.
Ma Qiang's face didn't look very good either. After all, this was the first time he saw a ghost. He was a little frightened, and it was inevitable that he felt nervous.
I smiled and said to him, "See, I told you that you were no good. Why did you want to be a Taoist priest? You got scared when you saw a ghost! Look how pale your face is. You haven't recovered yet. You were so scared!"
Ma Qiang said in a low voice, "How could that be?! I'm not scared, I just didn't eat enough this morning and my blood sugar is a bit low!"
His answer was full of loopholes.
I didn't expose Ma Qiang, and said solemnly: "This matter seems ordinary, but I didn't expect it to involve so many things. Especially the curse, I have heard of it before, but this time I really saw it."
Ma Qiang didn't respond, but asked me timidly, "Brother Yang, are we in any danger?"
I shook my head and smiled, "Of course there are dangers, but with my current job, I should be fine. I'm just worried about you, following me all the time, and what might happen next!"
The second half of the sentence was naturally meant to scare Ma Qiang.
When Ma Qiang heard this, his expression immediately turned even gloomier.
He asked me suspiciously, "No no... no way?"
I laughed out loud, raised my hand and patted Ma Qiang on the shoulder, and said, "I'm just kidding you!"
Who knew that after I said this, Ma Qiang immediately became unhappy.
He curled his lips and said unhappily: "Brother Yang, you can't play like this. You dare to scare me. I, Ma Qiang, am not afraid of anything. It was just a little ghost before. It's not worth mentioning at all. When I learn something, I will catch dozens of little ghosts for you to see!"
I smiled and said nothing.
My understanding of Ma Qiang’s subsequent words is that he is just bragging!
Soon Ma Qiang drove me back to Xiyuan Community.
I thought I could go to Chen Biao's hometown today, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen. It seems I can only wait until tomorrow.
Before returning to the apartment, Ma Qiang called He Man and asked her to cook a few of her signature dishes.
When I entered the apartment, He Man had already prepared the food. But what made me frown was that He Man didn't have any specialties at all, and the food she prepared was all cooked food.
My goodness, I thought that since He Man lived with me, I wouldn't have to worry about the food. But I didn't expect that she couldn't even cook.
But I haven't had a proper meal these days.
After washing my hands, I started to eat heartily. Seeing me wolfing down the food, Ma Qiang and He Man were stunned.
Ma Qiang joked, "Brother Yang, why are you so hungry? Are you the reincarnation of a starving ghost?"
I glared at Ma Qiang and said unhappily:
Eat your food, even eating can't stop your mouth!"
Then I took a big bite of the pig's trotter.
I ate a lot of food, including three bowls of rice and two pig's trotters. I also ate a little bit of other things.
After dinner, I went back to my bedroom. I have to go to Chen Biao’s hometown tomorrow, so I need to have a good sleep.
Slowly I fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, I was woken up by a "ahhh" sound from Ma Qiang's room. Ma Qiang and He Man are really crazy. They have been together for such a long time, and they are still so ****. It's really amazing.
Ma Qiang and his wife are making such a fuss that I can't fall asleep!
I sat up, leaned against the bed, took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and started smoking.
When I was halfway through smoking a cigarette, there was a knock on the apartment door.
I haven't done anything for ghosts for a while, so I couldn't help but become curious. What kind of ghost came to my door tonight
Then I simply put on a coat and slowly walked out of the bedroom.
At this time, the battle on Ma Qiang's side had ended, and his room was quiet.
I turned on the light in the living room and walked straight to the door.
I looked into the corridor through the peephole.
Maybe the light in the corridor was broken, and I couldn't see anything in the darkness. But there was also a possibility that the appearance of the ghost outside the door had affected the environment in the corridor, and thus the corridor light could not be turned on.
I think that with my current level of skill, I can easily deal with most ghosts, and there is no need for me to be afraid of them. Even if I open the door and see a ghost, it can't do anything to me if I don't help it.
So I raised my hand, grabbed the handrail, and pushed open the apartment door.
When I came out of my own bedroom, I smeared crow tears on my eyes. Even if there was a ghost standing in front of the door and disappeared, I could still see it.
But what surprised me was that there was no one outside the door.
"Damn it! You knock on the door and then leave. You can't play like this!"
I muttered something unhappily, and then I was about to close the door of the apartment.
What I didn't expect was that just as I stepped out of the apartment and was about to close the door, a dark shadow suddenly flashed out from behind the door. Although I was already a serious Taoist priest, I was still frightened by this and took two steps back.
There was a small shoe rack next to the door, and I knocked it over!
I saw that the dark shadow that appeared at the door was an old woman.
The old woman was wearing ragged clothes and leaning on a yellow cane. Her face was covered with wrinkles so many that they could trap flies to death.
What made me feel uneasy was not only the ghostly aura around her, but also the bloody animal thigh hanging from her cane. The thigh should belong to some kind of animal, with gray-brown hair on it.
Although I felt horrified and surprised, I remained calm.
I secretly told myself that I was already a Taoist priest and there was no need for me to be afraid of those little ghosts.
This psychological suggestion worked well. Slowly, the fear that the old woman brought to me disappeared.
I was about to speak when the old woman opposite me spoke.
"Are you Jiang Jiuzhen?"
here we go again!
I smiled, shook my head and said, "Auntie, I'm not Jiang Jiuzhen."
She asked me again, "What about Jiang Jiuzhen? Where is he? I have something to talk to him about!"
At this point, the old woman wiped the tears from her face with her hands.
There was sorrow in her dim eyes. Although she was a ghost, the old woman gave me the feeling that she was still a living person.
If she didn't have that ghostly aura about her, I would definitely think she was a living person, not a ghost.
“Ahem!”
I coughed twice and explained to her, "Auntie, I'm sorry, Jiang Jiuzhen is not here. I am his apprentice, my name is Yang Tianyi, just tell me if you have any questions. If I can do it, I will help you. If I can't, please find someone else."
The old woman looked at me for a few seconds, and then she said, "My Huahua is lost. I want you to help me find him. I miss him!"
"Huahua? ... Auntie, is Huahua your granddaughter?"
I didn't understand so I asked another question.
The old lady shook her head, trembling, and said, "She is not my granddaughter, she is a kitten. I want you to help me find it! Master, please help me, I will repay you!"
It turned out to be a kitten!
I felt relieved at this moment, as long as he wasn't looking for someone, it would be fine. If he was looking for someone, it might involve some grudge.
But when I looked at the bloody thigh on the old woman's crutch, I still felt a little uneasy.
I didn't let the old woman into the apartment. It was night time and there was no one around anyway.
I stood at the door of the apartment and asked her, "Auntie, it's OK to find the cat. But there are many things I don't understand. Can you tell me, what's going on with the thigh on your crutch?"
When the old woman saw me looking at the thigh on top of her crutch, she started sobbing again.
She wiped the tears from her face and said, "Master, that leg is my Huahua's thigh. I went out to look for something, but when I came back, I found this thigh on the ground! Huahua must be in trouble, I can feel it! Master, you have to help me, I beg you..."
Listening to the old woman speak, I felt that she didn't sound like a ghost at all.
I couldn't help but become curious, and asked again, "Auntie, it's like this, you are dead. Did you know that?"
But after hearing what I said, the old woman's reaction was beyond my expectations.
She looked at herself in disbelief, then looked at me, and asked me in confusion, "Master, what are you talking about? I am alive, I have always been alive, how could I die? Did you see it wrong?!"
I shook my head, smiled bitterly and said, "Auntie, I'm not mistaken, it's true, you are really dead!"
Having said that, I slowly stretched out my hand towards the old woman, and under the old woman's surprised gaze, my hand went straight through her body.
"This, this... How could this happen? Am I really dead? Impossible, I am not dead..."
The old woman's voice was filled with fear and anxiety, astonishment and confusion.
I faced her and said, "Auntie, I am a Taoist priest who catches ghosts and helps ghosts. You are full of ghost energy, and you are indeed dead. And you just saw that my hand passed through your body. This proves that it is not your physical body that came to me, but your ghost!"
"But I can see that the ghost energy in you is weak, and you are not a fierce ghost. Don't worry, I will help you find the cat. But now, you have to tell me, what happened to you?"
I thought to myself, it's just a cat, it's not a dangerous thing. At worst, I can help find it. Anyway, I can't sleep now.
