Chapter 43: The body shield is still useful
Her heart palpitated and she suddenly couldn't breathe, suffocating her awake.
Qi Xu sat up in the dark, opened his eyes wide, raised his hand and patted his chest to make himself breathe more smoothly.
This dream...seems a bit unlucky.
She quickly stretched out her hand and counted with her fingers, but the result was not as good as she thought. It was a Li Gua, which meant that Jiang Hongyi was in danger but the outcome was uncertain.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't worried, but given the current situation, she couldn't put herself in danger or expose herself.
Qi Xu sat on the bed, hating his current powerlessness.
Although Jiang Hongyi and she are in a fake marriage now, even though they haven't developed love after being together for so many days, they still have a cooperative relationship. No matter what, she has to save him.
When Qi Xu was racking her brains to think of a solution, she suddenly remembered the body shield that the little baby spirit had been practicing recently. She had an idea and thought that maybe the body shield could be of some use.
"Kid, I need your help."
The little baby spirit was originally hanging on the roof playing with its toes. It was startled by her sudden words and its plump white body trembled.
Although it didn't know what Qi Xu asked it to do for help, it nodded without hesitation.
"Little ghost, Jiang Hongyi, that tall young officer of ours, is now in distress during a rescue operation at sea. I hope you can use your body shield to help him."
The little baby spirit scratched the back of his bald head as if he understood a little, and nodded obediently again.
Qi Xu was afraid that it didn't understand, so she asked him to show her his body shield on the spot, and then instructed it to expand the shield continuously until it covered her body.
It really works!
Then she gave the baby spirit another calm instruction, asking it to try to wrap itself in the protective shield and float into the air.
After confirming that everything was correct, Qi Xu felt relieved to let the baby spirit go to the beach to rescue.
After the baby spirit left the room, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so she had to get up and start concentrating on drawing talismans.
Drawing talismans is not just about drawing patterns; that won't work at all. It can only be used if you concentrate and put your mental strength into every stroke.
The tip of the cinnabar-colored brush fell on the yellow talisman paper, and with each stroke, the talisman paper became more and more perfect.
There are thunder-slashing talismans, soul-soothing talismans, golden-light talismans, and water-repelling talismans...
At this time, Jiang Hongyi was still swimming desperately in the water. He knew that in this critical moment, only if he fought hard could he have a chance of survival.
The cold sea water surged up and down in waves, and just as he was about to lose his strength, he suddenly felt as if his body was separated from the sea water.
Then even if your body is not moving, it is constantly moving upwards.
Jiang Hongyi felt like he was in a transparent bubble, free from any danger.
The bubble kept rising, carrying Jiang Hongyi out of the water and floating towards the shore. Who knew that just as the distance to the shore was getting shorter and shorter, the bubble suddenly burst.
Jiang Hongyi was caught off guard and plunged into the sea, choking on the water. He reacted the next second and began to swim towards the shore with his arms flapping.
After he finally climbed ashore, he felt that what he had just experienced was a bit unrealistic, which made his mind, which was originally materialistic and only believed in science, start to feel a little uncertain.
The raging waves before our eyes continued to push forward layer after layer.
After Qi Xu finished drawing twenty talismans, she began to feel restless. The longer the baby spirit was out, the more worried she became.
Just as she was about to give up and was about to get dressed to go out, she saw the little baby spirit's vague body appear out of thin air above the house.
"Little ghost! Little ghost! Are you okay?" Qi Xu quickly gathered his energy into his dantian, formed seals with his palms, and began to recite the mantra for salvation.
It is completely unrealistic to climb the mountain to the spiritual spring in the middle of the night. Now we can only rely on her salvation technique to help the little baby spirit recover a little bit.
After a while, the vaguely visible body of the little baby spirit began to solidify. Qi Xu looked up and asked again, "Little ghost, did you save the person?"
The little baby spirit didn’t know what being rescued meant, so he started to gesture with his hands and muttered non-stop.
Qi Xu still couldn't understand what it was saying. He could only understand from its constant gestures that it had rescued someone, and then the person fell back into the sea.
…
After she understood what he meant, she held her forehead and sighed. As expected, she had overestimated her own abilities. She thought she could save Jiang Hongyi, but now he fell back into the sea and her life was in danger.
Even if Qi Xu knew the answer by fortune-telling now, she didn't dare to face the heavy news. All she could do now was pray that Jiang Hongyi could turn the danger into safety.
Now, whenever she closes her eyes, she can recall the moments when Jiang Hongyi defended her. She doesn't want him to die, at least not now.
"Captain Jiang, thank God you're okay. All the people on board have been rescued. There are no casualties. Please give us your instructions."
"After escorting everyone home, regroup at the dock."
Jiang Hongyi barely managed to stand up and gave orders. After receiving the orders, the team members began to send the crew members home one after another.
He found his backpack and an empty cabin to change into the clean clothes he had prepared.
By the time all the team members gathered, the sky was already beginning to brighten.
When Jiang Hongyi returned to the family compound, the sky was already turning pale. As soon as he opened the gate, he saw Qi Xu rushing out of their room.
"You're finally back!"
Qi Xu tossed and turned all night, and now seeing him standing in front of him alive, he didn't care about hiding his emotions and checked Jiang Hongyi over and over again.
"I'm lucky I wasn't hurt."
"You, worry about me."
Before Jiang Hongyi returned home, he still had some hope that he had escaped death. Now, seeing Qi Xu so nervous, his heart began to beat faster.
"Worry……"
Before he finished speaking, Qi Xu realized that he almost spoke out his true feelings accidentally.
"Well, of course I'm worried. If you die, Grandpa and I will probably be kicked out of the family compound."
When Jiang Hongyi heard her say this, his originally warm heart turned cold again.
Good, good, good. It turns out that in this woman’s heart, I am only of use.
"Don't worry, I'm not dead yet. I'll live until the day you pay me back double."
After he finished speaking, he immediately took away Qi Xu's hand that was grabbing his sleeve, turned around and walked into the house without any hesitation.
Qi Xu noticed the difference in his attitude before and after, and felt a little regretful. It was all because of his quick mouth and his momentary show of strength that made this aloof gentleman angry again.
Thinking that the person might catch a cold after soaking in sea water all night, he quickly ran to the kitchen to start making ginger soup.
When Qi Xu returned to the house with the cooked ginger soup, Jiang Hongyi had already fallen into a deep sleep.
She couldn't bear to wake him up, so she took a pen, wrote a small note on a blank piece of paper, put it at the bottom of the ginger soup bowl, and left the room.
