He Nian, Dr. Zhong, and Xiao Fu were all stunned.
"Black?"
Dr. Zhong couldn't help but rub his eyes. "Could it be that my eyesight is failing me?"
Jiang Qingwan walked over and tapped the gold lock with her fingertip.
A wisp of black energy flashed by, and the golden lock instantly turned completely black.
Startled, Xiao Fu immediately threw it away, feeling a burning pain in her fingertips.
"how so?"
Jiang Qingwan picked up the black lock, placed it on the table, drew a talisman in the air, and slammed it down hard.
The golden lock cracked open, revealing a tuft of hair inside. A yellow talisman was still pasted on the red rope that bound the hair, and on the yellow talisman, there seemed to be a red living thing, rising and falling as if breathing.
"What...what is this?"
Liu stared at the thing, then suddenly realized what it meant.
"Is it sucking my son's life force?"
Jiang Qingwan nodded.
“Some people use golden locks to create traps that circulate in the market. Whenever they encounter someone whose fate matches theirs, they will drain that person’s life force to nourish the owner of the black hair. It’s like casting a net to catch fish in a river. You will always encounter someone like your son, whose fate is extremely compatible. That is when the trap is taken.”
Upon hearing this, Liu was so angry that she kicked Xiao Fu.
"You have ruined my son's life."
Xiao Fu slumped to the ground, his face ashen, feeling so guilty he wished he could die.
Jiang Qingwan said, "He must have done it unintentionally, otherwise he wouldn't have been tainted by evil spirits. Madam Song should be able to see the black on his fingertips."
Only then did Madam Liu notice.
But she had no time to care about that now. "Madam Jiang, will destroying this golden lock cure my son?"
"No, we have to save their lives."
Jiang Qingwan told He Nian to prepare a few things.
She hadn't done this kind of life-or-death struggle in a long time, and she was inexplicably excited.
In a village a hundred miles away from the capital.
The cats and dogs that were wandering around suddenly started barking incessantly and all ran towards a yard, but dared not approach, standing outside and growling in a low hoarse voice.
This attracted the attention of the surrounding villagers, who were unaware of what had happened.
A huge black talisman rose up in the courtyard, covering the entire courtyard. It had only been in formation for a few breaths when it was violently shattered by a golden light.
The courtyard was littered with debris. A woman staggered out of the room, her hair half black and half white, her features contorted, her mouth full of blood that she hadn't had time to wipe away. She fell to the ground after only a few steps, her eyes wide with resentment, and she tried to form the array again with her last bit of strength.
Before the formation was completed, he spat out another mouthful of blood, his body curled up in pain, and the other half of his black hair turned completely white.
"Dare to disrupt my cultivation, I will kill you to the ends of the earth!"
"Master, Master, save me!"
A crow tilted its head, cawed twice by the wall, and flew swiftly towards the capital.
Inside the He residence, Madam Liu watched with delight as the blood-red threads wrapped around her son broke one by one, and the boy's breathing gradually became steady and powerful, changing from barely perceptible to deep and strong.
"Dong'er, Dong'er..."
She excitedly rushed to the bedside, but only looked at it and didn't dare to touch it.
As the battle ended, the hair and talisman inside the black lock turned into a wisp of black smoke, attempting to escape. Jiang Qingwan raised her hand to press it down, binding it tightly with golden threads.
The plume of black smoke struggled for a moment before completely dissipating.
"That's fine."
Jiang Qingwan raised her hand and waved it lightly, causing the talisman paper on the edge of the bed to fall down.
He Yidong, who had been in a coma for more than ten days, slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at Liu Shi and He Nian gathered around the bed, he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Father, Mother, what's wrong?"
Liu could no longer hold back and covered her mouth, bursting into tears.
With tears welling up in her eyes, He Nian gently rubbed her son's head. "Dong'er, how are you feeling now? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
He Yidong shook his head and struggled to sit up on his own.
"My son feels a little hungry."
Liu, worried, helped him up and hurriedly turned to look at Jiang Qingwan.
"Madam Jiang, can my son eat?"
Following her gaze, He Yidong also looked at Jiang Qingwan, a look of amazement in his eyes.
"This lady is so beautiful."
"Don't talk nonsense!" He Qingnian scoffed. "This Lady Jiang is your savior; you mustn't be rude to her."
He Nian snapped out of his daze, blushed deeply, and hurriedly knelt on the bed, bowing respectfully to Jiang Qingwan.
Jiang Qingwan waved her hand.
"You're welcome, I've already received the money."
"As for whether he can eat and what he should eat, you should ask Dr. Zhong. I don't know how to treat illnesses."
After she finished speaking, she stepped aside and sat down on a chair to rest.
Doctor Zhong hurried to take her pulse, and He Nian brought Liu Shi to Jiang Qingwan and bowed.
“I will always remember your great kindness, Madam Jiang. As long as I do not go against my conscience and do not harm the people of Da Zhou, please feel free to ask me if you ever need my help in the future. I will definitely comply.”
After he finished speaking, he put his arm around Liu Shi with some unease.
Will my wife be able to see those things forever?
Jiang Qingwan shook her head.
"The talisman's effect has worn off, so you don't need to worry. Although her fate is somewhat special and she is prone to being tainted by unclean things, she is a perfect match for you, and your fate can protect her."
He Nian and Liu Shi looked at each other, their hearts intertwined.
This is perhaps the best kind of love between husband and wife.
Jiang Qingwan was touched, but then she suddenly remembered something. She lowered her head, took out a blank talisman from her purse, drew a talisman, and handed it to He Nian.
"Tell that Xiao Fu to stick the talisman on his chest. He must not remove it or let it get wet for three days. After three days, his hand will recover. As for whether to save him or not, Lord He, you can decide for yourself."
