The old lady heard the knocking and went to open the door with a spatula.

"Why is it you again?" She was a little annoyed; she shouldn't have opened the door without checking the peephole.

The old lady tried to close the door, but Mingzhuo stepped forward and burst through.

"What do you want to do? Get out!" the old woman shouted shrilly.

Mingzhuo took out a silence note and stuck it on her body. The old lady opened her mouth but found that she couldn't speak. She looked at her with a panicked expression.

"We told you we're here to save your life, but you wouldn't believe us." Mingzhuo covered the old lady's ears and then asked, "Did you hear that?"

The range hood was still humming, but the old lady keenly sensed another sound.

The old lady's heart skipped a beat, and she turned around and ran inside in a panic.

She thought something had happened to her grandson, so she ran inside and found the child still lying unconscious on the bed.

"Old man!" The old woman was startled and turned to run to the bathroom, where she saw a shocking scene.

Mingzhuo was faster than her, quickly throwing out a talisman. Something screamed and then disappeared into the air.

The old woman rushed over and helped the old man up. She opened her mouth and realized she could speak. "Why did you push yourself into the water? Did you want to die?"

The old man choked on water and coughed for a long time before he caught his breath. He said in a panic, "It wasn't me! Someone was holding me down! Someone wanted to kill me!"

"Nonsense, I clearly saw you pressing your own head..."

Li Wenhe squatted down and held the old man's wrist out to her. "Do you see it?"

There was a deep, dark red mark on it, as if someone had grabbed the old man's wrist and held his head underwater.

The elderly couple exchanged a glance and instantly felt a chill run down their spines.

Mingzhuo: "This time it's not a small warning like the previous ones. That thing is determined to take your lives."

The old woman stubbornly insisted, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Mingzhuo: "Since that's the case, I won't meddle any longer, lest you call the police and arrest us later. I'm terrified. But I must remind you to go check on your grandson as soon as possible. Also, make extra dinner so the whole family can eat quickly and not starve to death before we set off."

She turned and walked out, shaking her head as she went, "Actually, there's no chance of being a ghost anymore. I'd probably be eaten alive, not even a crumb would be left."

The old lady panicked immediately, "You, you mustn't go."

The old man got up to check on his grandson, and soon said in a panic, "Little Milk Yellow has a high fever, hurry and take him to the hospital!"

They had just checked on the child, who seemed perfectly normal, but in such a short time, the child's face had turned red with a fever.

The old woman hesitated: "You're not lying to me, are you?"

Mingzhuo turned to leave, saying, "Fine, you take the kids to the hospital, and then there'll be a car accident on the way. One of the three of you will die tonight. You know better than anyone how your two daughters died."

The old man almost knelt down before Mingzhuo, pleading, "Master, please save us!"

Having personally experienced the drowning incident, he knew very well that the thing was trying to kill him!

He was so angry that he snapped at the old lady for the first time, "What are you doing? You've already killed me, but don't you care about your grandson's life?"

As if on cue, the child suddenly started convulsing, and something seemed very wrong.

The elderly couple panicked and were completely at a loss. Mingzhuo quickly stepped forward and scooped up the child, shouting, "Water!"

Upon hearing the instruction, Li Wenhe immediately went to the kitchen to get a bowl and poured a glass of water.

Mingzhuo lit a talisman, silently recited two incantations, then put the talisman ash into a bowl and had the old man feed it to the child.

The child gradually calmed down, and after a few seconds opened his eyes and burst into tears, "Grandma, my friend is so mean. He's going to take me away and I'll never see Grandpa and Grandma again."

The old woman seemed to have all her strength drained away, and suddenly became unsteady on her feet, muttering in disbelief, "How could this be?"

My son said he had a solution. Ruan Tiantian is pregnant with twins. Once the two children are born, we can use the money to pay off the debt.

Because of this, no matter how dissatisfied she was with Ruan Tiantian, and no matter how much she felt that Ruan Tiantian was not good enough for her son, she endured it.

Mingzhuo: "Where are the things?"

The old man nudged the old woman, and seeing that she was paralyzed and not moving, he gritted his teeth, took a key from her pocket, went into the room, and came out a moment later with something in his hand.

It was a porcelain piece, resembling both a jar and a bottle, with simple figures and pavilions sculpted on it.

It looks very similar to the artifacts exhibited in the museum.

He Zhou has a great fondness for collecting antiques and cultural relics, and He Wangyao, influenced by her upbringing, has also developed a certain eye for appreciation.

One glance was enough to confirm, "This barn jar is not an antique; it's quite new, probably a modern craft."

Ming Zhuo: "The granary jar, also called the soul bottle, is the most common funerary object in ancient times."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the room felt a chill run down their spines. How dare this family take funerary objects and worship them?

"However, this soul bottle is not a burial item, so there is no problem with it. The problem is what's inside."

She smashed the soul bottle on the ground, and the porcelain shattered everywhere.

He Wangyao, with her sharp eyes, asked, "What's that?"

At this point, only Hou Zhihui mustered the courage to step forward and examine it. "It looks like a piece of bone."

"What bone?" He Wangyao's heart skipped a beat.

“It’s human bones, isn’t it?” Seeing everyone looking over, Pei Di scratched his head. “It can’t be the bones of pigs, cows, or sheep, can it? My dad likes to drink bone broth, and bones he’s gnawed on don’t look like this.”

He Wangyao: "..."

You silly goose, do you even know how terrifying and frightening your words are?!

Mingzhuo: "They're just the bones of dead people."

"Dead man's...bones?" The old man was so frightened that goosebumps rose all over his body. Why would his son and wife keep such an ominous thing in their home?

Ming Zhuo took out a talisman and walked over to wrap the bone and pick it up, but Li Wenhe took it from him, saying, "I'll take it."

He paused, then frowned. "Why did you just start using your hands? Aren't you worried about getting dirty?"

Mingzhuo got what he wanted and left without lingering.

Hou Zhihui walked at the very back and handed the elderly couple several amulets, saying, "There shouldn't be any problems. Call me if anything happens."

The elderly couple didn't seem to dare to stop her. As soon as the door closed, the old lady, who had just been limp, suddenly scrambled to her feet.

She made a phone call, "Son, have you arrived yet? Those people took the things, you need to think of something quickly!"

The old man was both shocked and furious: "What are you doing? And what did they say about your daughter's death? What are you hiding from me?"

The old woman's face hardened: "I gave birth to them, what's wrong with wanting some repayment! If they don't die, then my son dies, what do you know!"

When her son assaulted her eldest daughter, she caught him burning her eldest daughter's hair and the offerings made with her birth date and time, and he also secretly put drugs in her eldest daughter's tea.
