Chapter 142 Temporary Resurrection
Qin Qinsen, who thought he was quiet, faced the bright moon in the sky, spread out a soul-calling banner made from a bed sheet, and prepared cinnabar and yellow talismans.
He took steps with wonderful rhythm, his gestures kept changing, and he chanted incomprehensible words.
Teng Su made a soft gesture to the elders, then pointed to the people in the backyard and whispered, "They are summoning spirits."
"Luo family?"
Teng Su's long-planned move naturally had the approval of his father. The news of Luo Nanchen's death had spread throughout the upper circles of Hai City immediately. When he heard the call to spirits, he naturally thought of Luo Nanchen.
"What's there to do? Just let that rotten motor die, so he won't continue to harm girls." Teng An's face was full of disdain. He didn't forget that the rotten motor had been thinking about his Xiao An before.
Anxi had just returned from a dinner with some new friends. As soon as he entered the house, he saw everyone walking mysteriously toward the backyard. So he followed them and asked, "Dad, Mom, what are you doing?"
At the same time, Qin Qinsen waved the soul-calling banner carved with bright red cinnabar and shouted softly, "Luo Nanchen, come back!"
Apart from Teng An's suddenly heavier breathing, there was no other movement.
Qin Qinsen held the flag and waited for a while, his back straight and his posture upright. From behind, he looked very calm, as if he was waiting for Luo Nanchen's ghost to arrive.
If someone were to face Qin Qinsen directly at this moment, they would have noticed that his expression was a little subtle. He seemed to be accepting the lack of reaction to the summoning ritual, not finding it strange, and even taking it for granted.
"It should be eaten... Hello uncle and aunt, why are you here?"
Qin Qinsen turned around gracefully, and was obviously stunned for a few seconds when he saw the row of audiences behind him.
"I just want to see you. You must be tired after a busy day. Uncle Zhang made some black chicken soup and left two bowls for you. Come into the house and have a bowl of hot soup." Mother Teng smiled and didn't pay any attention to the cinnabar on his hands and the torn bed sheets.
He gestured to Teng Su to help clean up and then pulled him into the house.
Only when he sat at the dining table, spoon in hand, did Qin Qinsen finally feel like he was back in the real world. As if realizing something, he hurriedly explained, "I'm not really trying to summon a spirit at home. I just suspect Luo Nanchen was eaten by a Gu ghost, so I'm in the backyard..."
Mother Teng touched Qin Qinsen's head and smiled very gently, "It's okay, we know Xiaosen is not such an unreliable person, he must have his own considerations. Drink the soup while it's hot, Uncle Zhang specially saved a chicken drumstick for you."
"Are you saying that Luo Nanchen was eaten by something?" An Xi couldn't hide his curiosity.
Since she successfully changed her fate, she has made many new friends outside, including many young sisters who have been harassed by Luo Nanchen like her.
When the few people saw the news pushed to them just now, they were all shocked.
I haven't heard that Lanmada had any hidden illness or disease, so how could he suddenly die?
Now it seems that it is indeed abnormal.
Qin Qinsen drank his soup while telling the story of what had happened during this period, and the whole family shook their heads.
"I told you that he would definitely get his comeuppance for provoking people everywhere, see." Teng An wrinkled his nose, his face full of disgust.
Teng's mother was even more worried about the victim. "What's going to happen to Miss Shangguan now? She definitely can't go to work at the company. She almost died. It's so pitiful."
Although she felt sympathy, Teng's mother wouldn't say something as foolish as asking Shangguan Yue to work at Teng's. Shangguan Yue probably didn't need such charity, otherwise she would have made the request, either indirectly or directly, when she first met Teng Su.
"Yun Yao has to prepare for the exam and go to school tomorrow. I'll go over and take her place." An Xi tilted his head to look at Qin Qinsen and Teng Su. "It sounds like I'm about the same age as her, and my personality is definitely better than Tao Huali's. I'll just treat it as meeting a new friend. Brother Qin, please don't try to take advantage of Yun Yao. She's busy preparing for the college entrance exam."
Everyone here knows the rumors about Tao Huali. The two families live not far from each other, so there is always a chance they will meet.
From those few encounters, Anxi was certain that Tao Huali had a baby face but a cold heart, and was not someone to be trifled with. That was why she suggested she take over Yunyao's shift, lest the frightened Shangguan Yue die of fright when they were alone together after Yunyao went to school the next morning.
"It's not that exaggerated, but it's good that you can go." Qin Qinsen looked at Anxi's face carefully for a long time.
"What's the problem?"
Anxi was a little nervous. She dared not forget Qin Qinsen's abilities. He was staring at her at this time, and she was afraid that something was wrong.
"Have you been seeing anyone recently?"
This is what I asked.
Qin Qinsen himself felt that he had not explained himself clearly, and continued, "He is not from the studio, but someone new. You just met him tonight, but your relationship is not deep. He must have been introduced to you by someone else."
Just when Teng An slammed the table and stood up, thinking that Anxi was being introduced to a date, Anxi spoke.
"Yes, I met her fiancé tonight when I was having dinner with Su Ming and the others, and we chatted for a while."
Qin Qinsen raised his eyebrows, "Do you have any photos?"
"I'll look for it." Anxi flipped through Su Ming's circle of friends and asked, "Engagement photos, okay?"
She took the phone, enlarged the man's photo, and handed it to Teng Su, "Looks like him, right?"
Before Teng Su could ask what it looked like, he was drawn to the familiar eyebrow and facial structure in the photo. "...similar."
"Bai Muqing started a business while in college. After graduation, he settled directly in Hai City and brought his parents over. However, it was said that his mother was in poor health and was often hospitalized."
Anxi didn't understand what the two of them were fighting about, so he could only tell them all the information he knew.
"I met Su Ming at work, we were in a relationship for three years, and we just got engaged. Is there something wrong with this guy?"
She had thought it all out. If Bai Muqing had any little secrets that were unknown to others, she would persuade her sisters to break up even if Su Ming hated her, and she would even use the connections of the Teng family!
"It's okay. He has a high and broad forehead, a straight nose, and open eyes. He has a good face that can make a fortune and take care of his family. But the bond between brothers and sisters is weak, and they have been separated since childhood."
It’s good that there are no little secrets. Anxi came back to his senses and asked, “You mean…?”
"We can only confirm it after meeting his parents, but it's almost certain."
Anxi was a little confused. "I haven't heard of any children being lost from Bai Muqing's family, but I'm not familiar with him and have only seen him once. Brother Qin, are you free tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? Su Ming is going to the hospital to visit a patient."
Just as he was about to agree, Teng Su knocked on the table, attracting everyone's attention.
"Everyone go wash up and get some rest. Especially you." He tapped Qin Qinsen's forehead with his index finger, causing his head to tilt back. "Aren't you tired enough? Tomorrow I'll go deal with Luo's affairs. You should get some rest. Send Anxi to Shangguan Yue and then come back to sleep. Do you understand?"
He glanced around with a serious expression, and the people gathered around the dining table all started to get busy.
They cleaned up the dishes and poured water back to their rooms, and then dispersed.
