Chapter 1068: Leaving a Mark

At this moment, there was a dark aura on Xu Xinya's face, but she herself did not realize it. If there was another person standing next to her, they would probably be scared.

When Xu Xinya followed the guidance and found the place where the evil energy was emanating, she stared at the familiar soul-calming talisman for a long time. The next second, she placed her hand on the talisman and began to absorb the evil energy from it.

At the same time, the evil dagger that Lianyi took out from the space suddenly reacted. Although it was a very slight vibration, as the owner, Lianyi still sensed it.

"Oh, he couldn't hold it back any longer and finally took action."

Lianyi muttered something to herself and then continued with the embroidery she was doing.

Since the other party has taken the bait, all she needs to do now is wait patiently.

She left not one but four soul-calming Yin talismans in the school. After the evil soul has absorbed all the power from the four Yin talismans, it will be the best time for her to take action.

The evil soul absorbed the evil power in the first Yin Talisman and immediately began to accumulate strength and increase its control over the body. He wanted to take this opportunity to completely become Xu Xinya.

Unfortunately, the power of a Yin Fu is ultimately limited, and it is not enough to support him in completely taking over Xu Xinya's body.

After returning to school two days later, the evil spirit continued to wander around the playground behind the school without giving up. This time she made a new discovery, which was still a soul-calming talisman.

Xu Xinya did not absorb the evil soul rashly. He always felt that this was a trap set for him. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that just when his strength was exhausted and he was about to fall into a deep sleep, the evil power that matched him appeared.

Lianyi didn't know that the evil soul was hesitating. She only knew that the power of only one of the soul-calming talismans she had set up had disappeared, and the other three did not move.

So when delivering lunch to her younger son on the weekend, Lianyi took a walk around the back playground of the school.

Lianyi's actions were all seen by Xu Xinya, which made her more afraid of Lianyi. She ran back to the classroom before Lianyi discovered her.

Lianyi looked at Xu Xinya's back, narrowed her eyes, and did not chase after her because the location was not suitable.

But Lianyi was very sure that the evil spirit would not come out to cause trouble in the short term. He was very weak now, and was only preserved because of the fusion of his soul with Xu Xinya, so his spiritual power could not hurt her for the time being.

Lianyi went home with the empty lunch box. Now that she had locked onto the evil spirit, her trip was not in vain. Did she really think that the power of her contracted evil weapon could be so easily absorbed?

She had been unable to track him down after he had escaped several times before. Now that the evil soul had absorbed the power of the evil dagger, it was like marking him. This way, no matter how he escaped, she could find him through her dagger, unless his soul was dispersed.

In this way, Lianyi's life returned to normal. She picked up and dropped off Dabao every day, prepared three meals a day, supervised her younger son to do physical training, embroidered when she was free during the day, and went to her second son's house next door to help look after Beibei when she was tired.

The little girl is almost one year old now. She has started babbling and learning to talk, but she can't walk yet. But she can crawl quite well, so someone has to keep an eye on her.

After Song Qingchuan got the key to the new house, he prepared to move. Lianyi suggested that her son simply renovate the house and move in as soon as possible, and then rent out the current house as soon as possible.

Song Qingchuan and Li Juan were both action-oriented people. They immediately found workers to start the renovation, which actually just meant painting the walls white, smoothing the floor, and painting the walls of the bathroom and kitchen. After a simple cleanup and letting it dry for three to five days, Song Qingchuan moved in.

After the second brother's family moved out, Lianyi felt more relaxed. When she wanted to see her granddaughter, she would go to the machinery factory's staff dormitory for a visit. When she had nothing to do, she would embroider at home. Her life became more comfortable than before.

Just at this time, a new mayor was transferred to Qingshan Town. It was said that he was sent to the grassroots for training. His main purpose was to revitalize the economy of Qingshan Town. Moreover, the first thing he did when he came to Qingshan Town was to conduct secret investigations and visits. Lianyi happened to run into him.

The weather was good that day, so Lianyi put her embroidery frame in the small courtyard and continued working on her third piece of work. As a result, someone knocked on the door, claiming to be an official from the town government who came to understand people's livelihood.

Lianyi glanced at the faces of the two men and one woman and guessed their identities. She smiled and invited them to sit in the yard and poured a bowl of tea for each of them.

"Have a drink of water and take a break first!"

"Thank you, ma'am."

"You're welcome. It's not easy for you cadres either."

"We are all serving the people, so what should we call you, Auntie?"

"My last name is Luo, and the neighbors all call me Aunt Luo."

"Aunt Luo, you look quite young."

The young female secretary immediately started talking.

"I'm not young anymore. I already have two grandchildren. I'm a grandmother now."

“That’s really hard to tell.”

"Get married early! Girls in our village start looking for a boyfriend at the age of sixteen.

I was lucky. I married into the town from Luojiazhuang. My husband treated me well and I gave birth to four children. Except for the eldest who was unlucky, the other three were well-behaved. Now they are all grown up and their lives are acceptable. "

"What does your husband do?"

"He worked in the town's machinery factory. He was killed in a fire while rescuing public property. It was not easy for the factory to take care of me, a widow with four children. They took good care of me and gave me a job."

"Aunt Luo, I see you can also embroider?"

Seeing Lianyi start talking, the leading man immediately asked.

"I know a little. My great-grandmother taught me. She used to be an embroiderer."

“Can you sell the embroidery you have done?”

"Of course, but not in town. In the foreign-related stores in the city and provincial capital, they accept it."

“Is the price high?”

"Not bad. After deducting the cost, it's enough for me and my wife to raise the children and meet daily expenses."

"It seems that the town is still a little backward. If there were foreign-related stores here, you wouldn't have to go so far."

"It doesn't really affect me to do this. After all, it takes at least three months to complete an embroidery, and at most half a year. I don't need to go to the city every month."

Ripple said with a smile.

"Auntie, if someone wants to learn embroidery skills from you, would you be willing to teach?"

"It's not that I don't want to teach. It takes a long time to learn embroidery. It takes at least three years to become a master. Only when you can embroider independently can you earn money. In addition, the initial investment is relatively large, so many people are unwilling to learn."

Ripple shook his head and sighed.

"Aunt Luo is right, but your craft needs to be passed down, otherwise the embroidery skills will disappear in the future."

"I'll see if my grandchildren are willing to learn it. I'll try my best to prevent our skills from being lost."

"You've lived in this town for half your life. Do you think the town can develop well?"

"Of course we can. I heard on the radio that if a place wants to develop, it must find pillar industries and must also take the path of sustainable development. Is that right?"
