I shuddered, and my hands were covered in goosebumps.

Although I couldn't see Xu Huihui, I could sense that she was angry and venting her frustration.

Just then, Hu Ergou slapped the seal and shouted, "How dare you! Quiet down!"

Sure enough, after Hu Ergou shouted, the lights in the dance studio came back on, and the chill in the air lessened considerably.

"This little brat said she just wants to find her mother," Hu Ergou said, glancing at me and shaking his head.

I saw that Hu Ergou's face was very bad, he was obviously angry. If I hadn't insisted on sending Xu Huihui away, she probably would have beaten Xu Huihui to a pulp and given her a hundred or two.

"Uncle Hu, let me talk to him again." I really didn't want to see this poor child not even have the chance to be reincarnated, so I hurriedly said to Hu Ergou.

Hu Ergou didn't say anything, he just nodded slightly.

“Xu Huihui, I know you miss your mother very much, but it’s impossible for you to be together anymore. Even if you find her, what can you do? Staying with her will only make her worse, make her sick, make her age, and she might even die. Do you want your mother to die too?” I gritted my teeth, secretly overcoming my fear, squatted down, and tried to soften my tone as I spoke slowly.

After I finished speaking, I waited for a while before Hu Ergou slowly said, "She said she's willing to leave."

“You’re an obedient child, go in peace.” I stood up and said slowly. At this moment, I felt no fear, only a sense of relief.

"Uncle Hu, let's send her away," I said, nodding to Hu Ergou.

Hu Ergou picked up the talisman paper that was pressed down by the seal, began chanting incantations over it, and gestured with his hands. After about two minutes, Hu Ergou shouted, "Go!"

After shouting, Hu Ergou placed the talisman in his hand onto the candle and lit it.

"Changming, I've already sent her away. You guys pack up." Hu Ergou patted the dust off his Taoist robe and said softly.

"Thank you, Uncle Hu." I bowed to Hu Ergou and began to pick up the things on the ground.

Tong Liu also rushed over to help.

In no time, Tong Liu and I had cleaned up the dance studio.

We went downstairs together and returned to my room.

I handed the red envelope I had prepared to Hu Ergou and said, "Uncle Hu, thank you for your trouble."

I didn't confirm with Hu Ergou whether Xu Huihui had been sent away. Everything that happened in the dance studio proved that Hu Ergou was truly capable. His calm and composed demeanor was something that Hu Tudao, that good-for-nothing, could never match.

"We're already so familiar, no need to be so polite." Hu Ergou said politely, taking my red envelope and putting it in his pocket.

"Uncle Hu, there's something else I don't understand," I said, looking at Hu Ergou.

"Tell me about it," Hu Ergou said softly, taking off his Taoist robe.

"Why can't Xu Huihui communicate with me directly?" I asked Hu Ergou, puzzled.

Hu Ergou put the Taoist robe and the seal into his satchel and said slowly, “It’s very simple, because she can’t do it. She’s just a ghost, and it’s even difficult for her to manifest. She can only cry and laugh simply because these are things that are naturally imprinted in her soul. Unless she appears in your dream, it’s hard to understand what she’s trying to express.”

"Oh, I see." I heard Xu Huihui's crying and laughing last night, and now I know what it was all about. Also, her sudden appearance and disappearance might be the reason why she couldn't remain visible for long periods of time.

I didn't ask Hu Ergou why he could understand it. After all, he's an expert in this field. How could he dare to take on this kind of job if he didn't have some skills? He's not like Hu Tudao, who only knows how to brag.

"Yes, if it weren't for the heavy yin energy here, she probably wouldn't have become a ghost," Hu Ergou nodded and said.

Heavy yin energy?

I suddenly remembered that there might be something very dangerous here.

I was debating whether to tell Hu Ergou or pay him some more money to send him away, but after thinking about it, I decided against it.

I feel that the thing in the cabin is very unusual. The main reason is that it didn't come looking for me, and it's already locked inside.

Actually, I don't know if there's anything dirty inside. It's just a feeling, since I've never seen it before.

"By the way, Uncle Hu, I saw two big black cats that made strange noises, like a baby crying and a baby laughing at the same time. It was really creepy." While Hu Ergou was around, I told him about the big black cats, wanting to see if he knew anything about them.

"A ghost cat here?" Hu Ergou was taken aback for a moment, then said, "That's not surprising. The yin energy here is heavy, so it's no wonder that ghost cats appear."

"Uncle Hu, is there any way to get rid of the evil cat? It keeps calling outside, and it's really creepy." I really didn't want to hear that sound at night, and I always had a feeling that this evil cat might be connected to the thing in that little house by the wall.

“There’s no good way to deal with it. These cats aren’t exactly evil spirits; strictly speaking, they’re animals too. They just like to absorb yin energy and they’re incredibly fast, so you can’t catch them at all.” Hu Ergou shook his head and continued, “When a Yin Spirit Cat absorbs too much yin energy, it will make that strange sound. Don’t worry, they won’t harm anyone. Just ignore them.”

I twitched my lips. These two beasts wouldn't harm anyone?

That damn guy took me to that little hut, and I bumped into it so hard my nose was bleeding. Since Hu Ergou said there was nothing he could do, we could only let it go for now.

"Changming, it's getting late, let's head back first." After saying that, Hu Ergou left with Hu Tudao.

"I'll see you out." I followed Hu Ergou out and said, "Uncle Hu, I'll treat you to a meal sometime. You've helped me so much."

"Hehe, we'll talk about it when you have time." Hu Ergou chuckled, got into his BYD, and drove Hu Tudao home.

After Hu Ergou left, I glanced at Tong Liu who was following behind me and said, "Tong Liu, why don't you go back to the neighborhood to sleep tonight?"

"No, I'll go with you," Tong Liu said earnestly. "If anything else happens, we can look out for each other."

Since Tong Liu had already said that, I knew I couldn't persuade him otherwise. I was deeply moved, so I gently patted his chest and said, "Good brother."

"Haha, I came in a hurry tonight and didn't bring any alcohol. I'll go buy some now. Oh no, you come with me. I'm worried about you being here alone." Tong Liu laughed and pulled me toward his 125 motorcycle.

By the time Tong Liu and I returned from buying the alcohol, it was already 11:30 PM. Of course, I paid for the alcohol myself. Tong Liu had originally intended to pay for it secretly first, but I discovered him and stopped him. He came to help but still had to pay for the alcohol himself. Although I am frugal, I am not that shameless.
