Chapter 31
Teacher Wenjuan cried so desperately that Bai Siyu couldn't refuse.
He had no choice but to call Pastor Cang.
"Changzhu, I have a problem here. Teacher Wenjuan's child is in trouble. It's a matter of life and death. I have to go check it out. I may not be able to get to the Mu family before noon."
Pastor Cang did not raise any objection, but asked gently: "Where are you going later? I will ask Du Wu to pick you up after you are done."
Bai Siyu wanted to say no, but he felt that Pastor Cang would definitely insist. He looked at Wen Juan and said, "Teacher, which hospital is your son in?"
"In... in the Third Hospital of Beijing." Wen Juan cried, "The inpatient department is on the tenth floor of Meihua Building."
**
Wenjuan drove to find Bai Siyu. As soon as they got downstairs, they drove away immediately.
Beijing Third Hospital is one of the top five tertiary hospitals in Beijing and is well-known throughout the country. It is located in the city center of Beijing, at least ten kilometers away from the community where Bai Siyu lives.
It was the morning rush hour again, and the traffic was so congested that Wenjuan was upset. She kept crying the entire time. Her hands holding the steering wheel were shaking, and she felt like she would have an emotional breakdown and faint at any time.
Bai Siyu used the Qingxin Jue on Wen Juan, and she looked at him with clear eyes.
"Teacher, you need to stay calm. If you break down, your children will have one less person to rely on."
Bai Siyu's voice was clear and soft, yet it carried an extremely steady and reliable strength. Wen Juan took a deep breath and finally calmed down a little.
"You're right. I'm sorry. It was...it was the teacher who lost his temper."
"Teacher, you don't need to apologize. This is human nature. Tell me about your son's current situation. Also...what is the script your son is playing?"
He actually didn't know much about scripted killing, but he roughly knew that it was similar to role-playing.
Wenjuan wiped her tears, saw the red light in front turn green, and slowly stepped on the accelerator.
"I heard from Tao'er's classmates that they were playing a horror game called... Zombie Bride? It was about a group of grave robbers who had to go through many levels to reach a tomb of a thousand-year-old corpse and found a lot of treasures. But before they could get the treasures out, people in the team started dying, and more than one person died, so they had to figure out who killed them."
Wenjuan couldn't help crying as she spoke. Why would such a good child play with such things?
"It seems that there are two murderers in the ending. One is greedy for money, and the other is possessed by the zombie bride. In the end, we have to deduce who the bride is possessed by and perform an exorcism ceremony on that person to end the story. However, Tao'er is neither a greedy character nor a character possessed by the bride. I don't understand why this is the case..."
Bai Siyu had a guess in his mind as he listened, but he was not sure, so he just asked: "Are all the other students okay?"
"One of them seemed to have a fever, but he recovered soon. Only Tao'er has been running a fever. He hasn't woken up for three days and is almost unconscious now."
Wenjuan's tears slid to the corners of her mouth and dripped onto the steering wheel. She felt so pressured in her chest that she couldn't breathe.
"The doctor said if he doesn't wake up, even if he doesn't die, he will probably become a vegetable."
The most painful thing in the world is to lose a child in middle age, and she really can't accept it.
The journey of more than ten kilometers took more than forty minutes. At around ten o'clock, the two finally arrived at the hospital. As Bai Siyu entered the inpatient department on the tenth floor of Meihua Building, he felt a sinister aura coming towards him from the right side.
Before Wen Juan could give directions, she saw Bai Siyu turn around and walk straight towards the ward where her son was. She was startled and felt both fear and joy in her heart.
There was only a middle-aged man in the ward at this time. He was Wenjuan's husband. Originally, Wenjuan's parents-in-law were also there, but before the two of them came back, the two elderly people became ill due to anxiety, fainted and were admitted to other wards.
"You have to go out just to find this lying Bai Siyu?!"
As soon as the man saw Wenjuan, he stood up angrily and started blaming her.
Bai Siyu didn't expect to be pointed at and scolded as soon as he entered the room. He stopped at the door. Wen Juan was embarrassed and angry, with helplessness and pleading on her face. She involuntarily bent her waist and spoke softly to Bai Siyu.
"Don't be angry. He might have gone crazy because of anxiety. Plus, he read all the online comments a few days ago... He just couldn't stop talking. I... I will definitely give him a good scolding later."
"You're still blaming me?!" The man's face became even angrier. "Do you know that my parents were so worried about Tao'er that they fainted? You don't care about Tao'er or your parents. Wenjuan, what do you want to do? This family is breaking up because of you!"
"What did I do? Lin Weichuan, are you crazy or what?" Wen Juan was also stunned by the scolding, "Didn't I go to see the master for Tao'er? Was it my idea that my parents fainted? What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Am I talking nonsense? It's your habit for Tao'er to play the script-killing game. My mother said that day that she would take Tao'er back to her hometown, but you insisted that Tao'er had made an appointment with his classmates. If he didn't go, both Tao'er and his classmates would be unhappy. Didn't you support him to go to the party?"
Lin Weichuan angrily smashed the hospital bed.
"I'm going to visit my parents. I'll be here soon. If he doesn't leave, don't blame me for being rude!"
Lin Weichuan grabbed the mobile phone on the hospital bed and strode away. Wen Juan was shaking with anger. She looked at Bai Siyu in fear, fearing that Bai Siyu would turn around and leave in anger.
"Siyu, Siyu... you are a tolerant person, don't take it personally, he is just mad, he is not like this usually, the teacher will apologize to you first, I will let him apologize to you later."
Bai Siyu smiled and said, "It's okay, teacher. Let's go see your son first."
Looking from the door of the ward, the person lying on the bed was completely shrouded in surging black air. He could not even see the person's face. His life was almost over. If Teacher Wenjuan had come to see him ten minutes later.
This boy can be reborn.
Wen Juan looked at her son, whose face was flushed red and purple and who was almost out of breath. Her legs went limp and she knelt beside the bed, tears streaming down her face again.
"How come it's worse than before I left? How come it's worse... Tao'er, Tao'er! Open your eyes and look at mommy, look at mommy..."
She then grabbed the corner of Bai Siyu's clothes madly, crying so hard that her tears fell on Bai Siyu, and even used honorifics involuntarily.
"Master, Master Bai, please save my son. Is there any hope for my son? Please save him..."
Wenjuan was crying incoherently. Bai Siyu patted her hands soothingly and asked her to move three steps away.
Then she took out a bunch of red ropes from her schoolbag, tied three copper coins on the ropes, raised her hand and threw them. Unscientifically, the red rope floated above the bed in the air. The three copper coins were hanging less than three inches away from the boy's nose and moved automatically without wind.
"Ding-ling... Ding-ling-ling......."
The voice was agitated and urgent, with an inexplicable evil tone. Wen Juan's eyes widened and turned red instantly.
My heart almost stopped!
Bai Siyu, however, still had a calm look on his face. He muttered something, took out a piece of yellow paper, dipped it in cinnabar, drew a talisman on it, and stuffed it into the palm of the boy's tightly clenched left hand on the bed.
"puff!"
A sound of air flow came from nowhere and exploded on the bed.
In almost an instant, the three copper coins began to move rapidly, faster and faster. The yellow copper coins, which originally had clear patterns, soon became dirty, as if covered with two layers of black and red blood scabs. The blood scabs were still flowing, and were about to drip along the copper coins onto the boy's face!
Wenjuan covered her mouth tightly, almost screaming. She tried her best to control herself from rushing over to catch the thick red stain that looked so unclear and was about to drip onto her child's face.
But soon, the fear, depression, heartache... on her face all turned into joy.
But within three breaths, the boy's face on the hospital bed returned to normal. Before, his face was red and purple, and his forehead was black, except for his pale lips, but now he gradually looked like he was asleep!
Even two seconds later, he slowly opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but cry out weakly: "It hurts... my hand hurts..."
"Tao'er!!!"
In an instant, a huge surprise hit Wenjuan's desperate heart. She screamed and rushed over with tears streaming down her face.
Bai Siyu casually recalled the string of copper coins. The second before it fell into Bai Siyu's hand, the blood stains on it instantly dissipated and disappeared into the air.
"Where does it hurt? Tell mom, where else do you feel uncomfortable?"
"Hand, left hand...burned." Lin Jingtao raised his left hand in surprise, his eyes slowly focused, and when he opened his hand, he saw a handful of cigarette ash falling down and splashing on his face.
Lin Tao was shocked: “!”
Lin Tao was shocked: "Ahem!"
Wen Juan couldn't hide her shock as she recalled the scene when Bai Siyu stuffed the talisman paper into her son's hand. Suddenly tears were about to fall. Looking at Lin Jingtao who was coughing because of the spit, she laughed and cried.
"Tao'er, you...you always wanted to meet your new idol, didn't you? It was him who saved you, it was Bai Siyu who saved you!"
Wen Juan moved away with tears on her face. Lin Tao looked up and saw Bai Siyu standing not far away. He was so startled that he jumped up, but because he was weak, he felt dizzy and fell back. Wen Juan was scared.
"Mom, I'm fine, I just got excited." Lin Jingtao explained quickly, then looked at Bai Siyu with stars in his eyes, "Master Bai, is it really you, Master Bai?!"
"Did you save me? I...I love you so much!"
"I, I, I, can I add you on WeChat... ahem, message?!"
This was the first time that Bai Siyu's first reaction after waking up was not to ask what evil had befallen him, but to excitedly ask for his contact information...
"Sure, I can ask Teacher Wen to push me to you later."
After all, I had promised to add him on WeChat after the college entrance examination.
Lin Jingtao was so happy that he almost went crazy. He wanted to get out of the bed, but he was too weak and was held down by Wenjuan.
"Why are you so excited? When you get better, Mom will take you to visit Master Bai's home."
Wenjuan wiped away tears of joy, and had involuntarily changed the way she addressed Bai Siyu to a respectful title.
Bai Siyu quickly said, "Teacher, just call me as you did before."
Wen Juan agreed repeatedly. Now, as long as it was Bai Siyu's question, she would agree.
"Master Bai, can I ask...what happened to me before?" After Lin Tao was shocked and excited, he finally remembered to ask about his own problems. He just played a play-by-play killing game, why was he possessed? That store was not newly opened, and many people have played the zombie bride game, so why did he get into trouble? !
"There is something wrong with the 'exorcism' ritual. Someone is borrowing his life."
Bai Siyu picked up her phone and sent a message to Mu Changzhu, while continuing, "In your role play, did the character who was possessed by the zombie bride fall in love with your character? Did she want you to agree to her request in a servile and coy way, and then escape in the end? Only then can the whole plot end."
Lin Jingtao was stunned for a moment: "Yes, Master, have you played that book too?!"
Wen Juan, who was originally very nervous, said: "......"
How come her son becomes like an idiot when he meets his idol?
Bai Siyu: "That ritual used sorcery and also included sacrificial rhetoric. Someone played the role of the zombie bride and asked you to lend your life. If you agreed, you would be lending your life to them."
Lin Jingtao was shocked and shuddered.
"My classmate wants to harm me?!"
That shouldn’t be the case, they are obviously classmates who have a good relationship with each other!
"If there was no problem with the script before, then someone among your classmates or the host of the script might have a problem."
Bai Siyu felt the phone in his hand vibrate and he raised his hand to move it.
The sound of the shepherd's candle came from the other side.
"We're here. Do you need help?"
"No need, just wait for me downstairs, I'll be down soon."
When Wen Juan heard what Bai Siyu said, she quickly stood up, felt her pockets, and then rummaged through her bag, but she had been so anxious and panicked these two days that she didn't bring much money with her.
It seems I can only give it to you next time when I visit you specifically.
"Siyu, thank you so much today. If it weren't for you..." Wenjuan's eyes were red. She didn't dare to say that. She sniffed and said, "You are my child... No, you are the benefactor of my whole family. If you need help from the teacher in the future, just ask."
Then he looked at Lin Jingtao and said, "Did you hear me? When you grow up and have any achievements, you must not forget today! You must also remember it during every festival!"
Bai Siyu felt that if he continued talking he would become Lin Jingtao's father, so he coughed twice.
"No...No, you're too polite, teacher. I'm leaving now."
"The teacher will see you off." "I want to see Master Bai off, too!"
"Just lie down quietly!" Teacher Wenjuan's majesty seemed to have returned. She glanced back fiercely and her coldness suddenly disappeared.
Bai Siyu inexplicably thought of the pain of the remedial classes he had attended a few days ago. A trace of bitterness appeared on his tender little face, and he touched his arm which was covered with goose bumps.
Suddenly I feel that it is not easy for a teacher like Lin Jingtao to be a child...
The two went downstairs together. Teacher Wenjuan thanked Bai Siyu profusely and apologized to him solemnly and with great guilt.
"Si Yu, I'm really sorry. You saved my child's life, but you were raped by my husband... I will make him come to my house tomorrow to apologize. He must apologize to you. Just wait for me to punish him!"
Bai Siyu paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Teacher, how is your relationship going?"
"We are usually pretty good, and he has always had a gentle temper, otherwise I wouldn't have married him." Wen Juan was stunned, "Why, is there something wrong with my husband? Has he also been invaded by evil spirits?! No wonder he has such a bad temper today, he was not like this before, he has a very gentle and kind personality."
If not for this, she would not have married Lin Weichuan in the first place, because apart from his academic qualifications and job, Lin Weichuan was far inferior to her in other aspects, especially his family background.
Bai Siyu frowned slightly, not knowing whether to say something or not.
Wen Juan became even more anxious, her eyes reddened again: "It's okay, just tell me what you found, the teacher will only thank you and won't have any other thoughts! I do feel that there is something wrong with him these days, he seems mysterious, is he also......"
"No." Bai Siyu sighed and looked at Wen Juan.
"Teacher Wen, is Lin Jingtao your only son?"
Wen Juan was stunned: "What?"
"Teacher Wen, your husband is lucky to have children. Lin Jingtao should be more than the only child now."
