Tang Ning had asked Old Liu this question once in the hospital, but Old Liu's reaction was extremely strong. Tang Ning still remembers his sudden change of expression to be so ferocious.
Tangning was shocked when he heard the question again. He looked into those lifeless eyes and heard Old Liu slowly say, "Yes, I received a dead body."
Mo Yunchu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lao Liu.
Tangning quickly explained, "I'm not asking if you've received a dead body."
Old Liu sneered, "What else can a funeral car do if it doesn't pick up the dead?"
Tangning smiled awkwardly. Old Liu turned around and continued to chop the minced meat on the chopping board. The dull sound of chopping meat could be heard again. He asked coldly and impatiently, "Any other questions?"
Tang Ning took a step back and seemed to have stepped on something on the ground. He lowered his head and saw a candy wrapper. Tang Ning bent down to pick up a candy wrapper from the ground and was about to throw it into the trash can. Unexpectedly, he saw many candy wrappers and empty beverage bottles in the trash can.
"Master Liu, do you like sweets?"
Lao Liu's tone remained unchanged, "I don't like it."
"Then why did Master Liu buy so much candy..." Tangning thought of the solution given by Boss Hao and asked tentatively, "Did Boss Hao ask you to do this?"
Old Liu paused while chopping meat. "How did you know about him?"
"Oh, it was Director Lin who told me about Boss Hao." Tang Ning suspected that Lao Liu had some connection with the ghost baby. Did Lao Liu also provoke the ghost baby, and then Boss Hao gave Lao Liu the same solution
Or does this method apply to many ghosts
Tang Ning decided to test the waters. Since Mo Yunchu was also present, he could not tell him about these ghost-related things. Tang Ning quietly moved away from Mo Yunchu and slowly approached the motionless Old Liu. He lowered his voice and whispered, "Boss Hao said that if you give candy to the child who has become a ghost and then sew the legs of the rag doll it inhabits, it will remember your kindness and will not hurt you."
As he said this, he kept looking back at Mo Yunchu, worried that Mo Yunchu was paying attention to what was happening here. After seeing Mo Yunchu looking at other furnishings in the room, Tang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and turned his eyes to meet Lao Liu's fixed gaze.
Originally, Old Liu was cutting vegetables with his back to Tangning, but suddenly he turned his head and stared at her. His drooping eyelids opened, and his cloudy eyeballs reflected a frightening cold light in the dim light.
"That rag doll." Lao Liu asked slowly, "What does it look like?"
Tang Ning felt his spine tingle from being stared at. He whispered, "Broken legs, two eyes sewn up with black buttons..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard Lao Liu say, "Get lost."
Tang Ning was stunned. He saw wrinkles all over Old Liu's stiff face. His intense emotions seemed to tear it apart.
"Get out!" Old Liu's ferocious face looked particularly ferocious under the overhead light. He yelled madly, "Get out!!! I told you to get out!!!"
Tangning turned around and ran away in panic. Mo Yunchu protected her behind him and said to Old Liu politely, "Mr. Liu, there is 10 million in this card. The password is six zeros."
"Get out!!!" Old Liu was extremely excited. He picked up the kitchen knife on the chopping board and waved it at Mo Yunchu while yelling frantically, "Get the f*ck out!!! Get out!!!!!!"
Mo Yunchu nodded slightly to Old Liu and said, "Sorry to bother you, Mr. Liu. I wish you a happy life."
Amid Old Liu's hysterical roar, Mo Yunchu took Tang Ning out of the house. He calmly closed the door and politely ended the visit.
Through the door, Tang Ning could hear the sound of things being thrown, as well as Lao Liu's extreme wails. He shouted "liar" and "all fucking liars". His hoarse and rough voice, mixed with sobs, actually sounded like a crying child.
"What's wrong with him?" Tang Ning asked in confusion.
"It sounds like someone has cheated him." Mo Yunchu said calmly, "Speaking of scammers, a friend of mine in the industry spent a lot of money to find a Taoist priest, saying that he wanted to become even more famous, but within a few days, a scandal broke out and he was banned."
"This is feudal superstition. Xiao Ning, don't worry about that dream anymore." Mo Yunchu patted Tang Ning's head, like a fraud prevention police officer educating a misguided teenager, "We must believe in science."
Tangning was confused for a moment.
Why did Lao Liu react so strongly when he heard his words? Why did he inexplicably call him a liar? Is Boss Hao a liar
Mo Yunchu went to the garage to drive the car. Boss Hao happened to call at that moment and asked Tang Ning if she had sewed the legs on the rag doll that the ghost baby was possessed by.
Tang Ning said a few perfunctorily, saying that she had encountered a lot of strange situations and had no time to sew dolls.
Boss Hao exclaimed, "The noises you described don't seem to be caused by a ghost baby. Could it be that you have provoked a new evil ghost?"
Tangning couldn't help but say, "I did everything you said. How could I possibly offend those beings?!"
"That's strange. If everything was done right, the result shouldn't be like this, unless... ... there's someone who killed him where you live."
Tangning and Mo Yunchu were the only people living in the villa. Tangning subconsciously retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Boss Hao snorted coldly, "I'm talking nonsense? I said it with all my heart, how can I call it nonsense?! Anyway, I was originally planning to give you a piece of ancient jade to ward off evil spirits. If you wore it, ordinary evil spirits would not dare to approach you. Now I think about it, forget it. I'll keep the jade for myself!"
As Boss Hao spoke, Tangning softened her tone, especially when she heard about the ancient jade that could ward off evil spirits. "Boss Hao, I'm talking nonsense. I'm talking nonsense. Look at that jade..."
Boss Hao said dissatisfiedly: "Okay, you are my big customer after all. Since you have paid, I will naturally protect your personal safety. However, I will not give you this jade. I will take the jade away after you finish this business."
At this moment, Mo Yunchu's car drove up to Tang Ning, and Tang Ning quickly hung up the phone. After all, Mo Yunchu had just finished talking to him about fraud prevention.
He sat in the passenger seat, and while Mo Yunchu was helping him fasten his seat belt, he asked, "Xiao Ning, what do you want to eat today?"
"Whatever." Tang Ning's mind was a little confused and he wasn't in the mood to eat or drink.
"Then I'll make you sweet and sour pork ribs, white fungus and red date soup, corn pancakes..." How do you think? The dishes Mo Yunchu mentioned were all sweet in flavor. Tang Ning realized that he was already hungry after hearing them.
"Okay." Tang Ning bit his fingers nervously. His fingers were white and the tips of his fingers were bitten to a beautiful red blush.
How strange.
Why did Mo Yunchu report all the dishes he liked
"Why did you bite your finger?" Mo Yunchu gently moved Tang Ning's finger away. He rubbed Tang Ning's fingertips, his frown filled with heartache.
The warmth of the iron went all the way from her fingertips to her heart. Tangning hastily withdrew her hand, "Nothing, I'm just too hungry."
"I think moderate hunger is the icing on the cake." Mo Yunchu smiled and said, "Only when the waiting time is long enough, but not beyond the limit of patience, the moment you really eat it—"
Her phoenix eyes gazed at Tangning tenderly, "Only then can you obtain the greatest satisfaction."
When they got home, Mo Yunchu was preparing the ingredients. Tang Ning didn't want to be left alone, so she volunteered to help Mo Yunchu, such as squatting next to the trash can to peel garlic, holding a bowl to beat eggs, etc.
He had never done housework since he was a child, so this was the best he could do as an assistant. Tang Ning was not good at doing more difficult things like cutting meat, so Mo Yunchu had to do it.
The dull and monotonous sound of chopping meat rang out in the kitchen.
Tangning raised her head and looked at Mo Yunchu, who was standing in front of the chopping board chopping pork ribs. The white sleeves of his shirt were rolled up to his elbows, revealing the beautiful lines of his forearms. His back was tall and straight, and he looked so good that he seemed to be far away from the mundane world. This was the opposite of the scene portrayed by Lao Liu.
Thinking of this, Tang Ning was stunned for a moment.
He didn't understand why he would subconsciously think of Old Liu chopping meat when looking at Mo Yunchu's handsome back.
"Have you peeled it?" Mo Yunchu turned around and praised, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoning. You did a great job."
When the spareribs were stir-fried, the whole kitchen was filled with the sweet aroma of sweet and sour. Tang Ning couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, and his depressed mood became better. He looked at the spareribs in the pot with sparkling eyes. Tang Ning raised his head happily and met the narrow and long phoenix eyes that had been staring at him for some time.
The air was filled with a sweet scent. Mo Yunchu looked at Tangning without avoiding her gaze. He said with concern, "There's a lot of smoke here. Be careful not to get splashed."
Tang Ning took a few steps back.
It was really strange. Why did he feel that the pair of phoenix eyes were dangerously dark at the moment they looked into each other's eyes
Mo Yunchu was still cooking. Tang Ning lowered her head and opened her phone. She saw a message from Boss Hao. It turned out that the package had arrived and was placed at the door.
Tang Ning temporarily said goodbye to the kitchen and went downstairs to pick up the express. He opened the express box and found a coral jade pendant inside. Coral jade was one of the few jades that Tang Ning could not appreciate. It looked beautiful at first glance, but when he looked at it more closely, Tang Ning felt that the densely arranged patterns were extremely charming, which made his scalp tingle.
However, Tang Ning did hear that coral jade seemed to have some effect in warding off evil spirits.
After hesitating for a moment, Tang Ning put on the jade and walked back to the kitchen.
At this time, Mo Yunchu was serving the sweet and sour spareribs on a plate. The thick reddish brown sauce was poured over the ribs. Tangning's attention was completely drawn to the ribs. Mo Yunchu glanced at Tangning and asked, "Why do you suddenly like jade?"
"This jade is of average quality. Put it away. I have a fine jade pendant in my room that is more suitable for Xiao Ning."
"No, no, I'm just taking it for fun." Tang Ning ran to serve the rice, while Mo Yunchu was responsible for bringing the dishes to the table.
The dishes on the table were steaming. Tang Ning sat down, picked up his chopsticks and looked at Mo Yunchu eagerly. As soon as Mo Yunchu sat down, he would eat with relish.
But Mo Yunchu's phone suddenly rang. Mo Yunchu made an apologetic gesture to Tangning and walked over to a nearby place to talk in a low voice. The person on the other end seemed to be discussing something serious. Mo Yunchu's expression also became very serious and he nodded from time to time. After the call ended, Mo Yunchu let out a long sigh and then walked to a distance of about one meter from Tangning. He apologized, "I have something else to do, so I can't have dinner with Xiaoning."
"Are you coming back tonight?" Tangning asked nervously.
"It depends on the situation. I will solve it as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible." Mo Yunchu said softly.
Tang Ning could not hide his disappointment. He picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and wanted to feed Mo Yunchu a taste. After all, Mo Yunchu had been busy for so long, it would be a shame if he couldn't even have a bite of hot delicious food.
Mo Yunchu looked down at his watch and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, it's really too late."
He said goodbye to Tang Ning in a hurry, and Tang Ning had to sit alone at the large dining table, facing the colorful and delicious dishes alone.
Mo Yunchu left.
He was the only one in the villa.
Tang Ning tightly grasped the coral jade. The cold and hard coral jade was no match for Mo Yunchu's broad and warm chest.
It's okay, Boss Hao said this piece of jade can ward off evil spirits.
Tangning took a deep breath and ate alone in the huge villa. The sweet and sour or salty flavors stimulated Tangning's taste buds. The fear and anxiety suppressed in her heart were relieved in front of the delicious food. The brief binge eating made Tangning feel that she was still alive.
When the last bite of food was finished, Tangning's bulging belly warned him, but he nervously bit the tip of his chopsticks, hoping that the empty plate would turn into a new dish.
He didn't want this happiness to end.
Just enjoy the present and don't worry about the dreaded future.
His nerves have been stretched into a precarious string, and no one knows when this string will break, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, or maybe in the next second.
so.
Where is Mo Yunchu
When will Mo Yunchu come back
He missed Mo Yunchu, he missed Mo Yunchu hopelessly, even though Mo Yunchu had only been away for half an hour.
