Chapter 646 A Chance Encounter
Most of Zhao Yun'er and the others came from well-off families and had not experienced the "hardships" the village chief had described.
But this did not prevent them from developing a favorable impression of the two brothers they were about to meet, because of the village chief's words.
About ten minutes later, the village chief led Ye Wanxi and the others to the two small detached houses standing side by side.
The two Mo brothers were close friends, and even built their houses together, enclosed by a large courtyard.
As soon as they entered, they saw two cars parked in the yard.
For these people who are used to seeing luxury cars, these two cars may not be that great, but they are exactly what they need right now.
Therefore, a look of joy appeared on the faces of all of them.
The village chief did not lead his men directly into the house, but instead called out to the homeowner loudly from outside the courtyard.
Not long after, a tall, muscular man with a dark complexion ran out of the house and paused for a moment when he saw the group of people outside the yard.
"Sixth Uncle, what's wrong...?"
"These are some celebrities who came here to film a show these past few days. They want to borrow your car to go to town to buy some things. What do you think..."
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, the man shook his head at the crowd and said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid that won't work."
The group was stunned. Even Li Fan and Jiang Yulai frowned, and despite being mindful of the cameras, they couldn't help but show some impatience.
The village chief, knowing the two brothers' temperaments well, asked, "What happened?"
“This is my older brother’s daughter, Niu Niu. She’s had a recurring fever since the day before yesterday, and injections and medicine haven’t helped. Her family is extremely worried. You know, she’s so young, how can she withstand such a persistent fever? My wife and sister-in-law were just discussing it, and they said if it doesn’t get better, they’ll have to take her to a big hospital. So this car…”
Mo Erzhuang's explanation was understandable to the others; he needed it himself, so naturally he couldn't lend it to them. However, they couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
After hearing his words, Ye Wanxi subconsciously turned her head and exchanged a glance with Feng Tianyu.
The two, who understood each other perfectly, nodded in unison, already knowing what was going on.
The village chief asked a few more questions and then prepared to leave with the group.
Before he could speak, Ye Wanxi said, "Would it be convenient for us to go in and take a look?"
When Ye Wanxi said this, not only Mo Erzhuang, but also Zhao Yun'er and the others were stunned and stared at her with some surprise.
"this……"
"We just wanted to see if we could help, that's all."
Mo Erzhuang looked at the group of people with suspicion: "You are... doctors?"
"No, but I think we might be able to help with this."
Mo Erzhuang frowned, thinking to himself, "Isn't this ridiculous?"
Just as he was about to refuse, the village chief, who seemed to be deep in thought, spoke first: "Why don't you take a look before you leave? I'll go in and see Niu Niu too."
The village has a small population, and most of the villagers are related by blood or marriage.
Since the old man was both an elder and the village chief, and he had spoken, Mo Erzhuang, even if unwilling, couldn't refuse him, so he had no choice but to open the courtyard gate and lead the group inside.
When Ye Wanxi and the others went in, the little girl was lying in her mother's arms with an IV drip in one hand, her eyes closed, and her face was a little pale.
The child's mother wiped her forehead and body while crying with heartache. Several adults and a child were standing nearby, and the adults all looked serious and worried.
"No, we can't let her fever go on like this. This IV drip has been going on for almost an hour, and it's not helping at all. Xiaoying, take the baby, we need to go to the hospital right away."
Sister-in-law Mo responded and hurriedly went to remove the needle from the child's hand.
Unexpectedly, the moment the needle was removed, the child who had been nestled in her arms suddenly opened his eyes, his face contorted in a grimace, and he shoved away Sister-in-law Mo, who was sitting by the bed.
Despite being a child under six years old, he possessed extraordinary strength, easily pushing Sister-in-law Mo off the bed.
If Brother Mo hadn't been quick-witted and caught her, her forehead would have hit the table next to the bed.
After pushing the person away, Niu Niu started rolling around on the bed. After rolling around, she started grabbing whatever was at hand and attacking the person.
Everyone present was startled by this sudden turn of events. After recovering from the shock, they hurriedly shouted, "Quick, hold her down! Hold her down!"
The two Mo brothers rushed over to grab her, but she ended up scratching their arms instead.
Zhao Yun'er and the others were also taken aback by this turn of events, and gasped in shock, asking, "What's wrong with that child? What disease does he have? Why is he attacking people?"
"I feel like something's off about her complexion and expression. She doesn't look sick, more like..."
Gu Shaoling didn't finish her sentence, but everyone could roughly guess what she wanted to say. Some of the more timid people couldn't help but shudder, while others didn't believe her.
"What nonsense are you spouting? How could there be such a thing in this world..." Lian Lifan rebuked, his voice sharp but his tone weak. "That young girl was just feeling unwell and reacted a little too strongly, and you've made such a fuss about her. That's going too far."
“Exactly! We haven’t even figured things out yet, and we’re already bringing up all this ghosts and monsters. It’s just superstition. If this gets out, it’ll have a really bad influence.” Ding Li said this while glancing meaningfully at Ye Wanxi, her meaning clear.
Ye Wanxi could easily detect the hostility in someone's words. She grabbed Feng Tianyu, whose expression had suddenly turned cold, and sneered, "Miss Gu is right, this is indeed not an illness."
"What? Not an illness? Then what is it? You..."
Ye Wanxi ignored Ding Li's suddenly raised voice and the question that almost escaped her lips.
She stepped forward, grabbed the bed sheet that had fallen to the ground, and threw it to Feng Tianyu.
Feng Tianyu took the bed sheet, twisted it into a strip, and then walked to the bedside. When the Mo brothers tried to free the child again, he grabbed the child's hands and feet and tied her to the headboard.
"you……"
When the Mo family members saw Feng Tianyu suddenly appear, they realized that there were many other people in the room whom they did not recognize.
Ye Wanxi didn't waste time with pleasantries and went straight to the point: "Your child has run into a guest."
"A collision?"
Zhao Yun'er and the others looked completely bewildered: "What is a 'crash attack'?"
"The 'crashing' is a deceased ghost or earthly deity who has become mentally unstable, experiencing alternating chills and fever, persistent high fever, or even incoherent speech, madness, or insanity."
This wasn't unusual for the older generation, but since both of the Mo brothers' parents had passed away early and there were no elderly people in the family, and the wives they married were mostly from the city, they rarely heard of this saying and didn't think about it for a moment.
Upon hearing Ye Wanxi's words, the expressions of the group changed slightly. Sister-in-law Mo looked on incredulously and said, "You mean that my child's repeated tantrums these past few days are not because he is sick, but because he has encountered something unclean?"
