It was like I was the one dating her, and Yu Jie was just there to be a third wheel. He didn't answer my calls, so I was deliberately trying to trick him!
"I seem to have seen you somewhere?" Qiao Xiaomu frowned and stared at me.
"Oh, what a coincidence, I think I've seen you somewhere before?" I also glared at her.
"Really?"
"Yeah, what a coincidence!"
However, Yu Jie was already crying at this time, and whispered in my ear in frustration: "Let go, this is my girl, you are not allowed to pick her up!"
I slowly loosened my hand and said to him in a low voice, "Lend me some money, and I'll leave right away!"
Yu Jie said puzzledly, "Why didn't you say so earlier?" He turned to Qiao Xiaomu and said awkwardly, "Excuse me, I need to talk to him for a few minutes." Then he pulled me to the door of the cafe, pulled out a wallet from his pocket, took out a stack of large red bills, and said to me, "Here are two thousand yuan in cash. Is that enough? If not, I'll put it on your card for the evening party."
I took it, shook my head, and said, "That's enough." I stuffed the money in my pocket, then frowned and said, "—By the way, I think I've really seen that girl before?"
Yu Jie nodded and said, "It's the nurse we met at the Boai Maternity Hospital last time. I have her phone number, so after going back and forth, I was able to hook up with her. But for some reason, that hospital has completely collapsed, so she's now working as a nurse at another hospital."
I said in surprise, "Damn, sure. But she's a good girl, don't let her down. When you get married, remember to treat me to the wedding!"
Yu Jie patted my shoulder and said slyly, "Of course! We're good friends after all! — I heard you're going to Jiaxing with Zhao Xi and the others in a few days."
"Yes, I'm going to find Ning Xue." I nodded.
Speaking of Ning Xue, Yu Jie's eyes lit up: "It's been a while since I've heard from Boss Ning. If you find her, remember to say hello for me!"
"No problem." I made an OK gesture, and then laughed and said, "That girl's hands are really soft, it feels very comfortable to touch..."
"Go away!"
Yu Jie was so angry that he almost vomited blood. I quickly patted my butt and ran away.
Back at the grocery store, I spent hundreds of dollars on a bunch of gold and silver ingots, paper money, and other common items. I also bought some yellow paper, incense, candles, and other things. I realized my backpack was almost full! I had to buy a large backpack and organize my things into it.
On the way back, we passed the hospital where we had caused such a disturbance a while ago. It had partially collapsed and was surrounded by police. There was no word yet on what they were going to do about it. But the police said they heard from nearby residents that night that there were extremely distressing screams coming from the dilapidated building, and then the building collapsed.
What the police and nearby residents cannot understand the most is that a good obstetrics and gynecology hospital turned into a dilapidated and collapsed dangerous building overnight. What happened?
Aside from me, the madman in black, the golden-haired old man, Zhao Xi, Huo Liang, and the other people involved, I'm afraid no one else will know. Therefore, the police haven't yet responded to what to do with this dangerous building.
I didn't get involved. I returned to the villa, chatted with Zhao Xi and the others for a while, and then went back to the guest room to practice.
I had three days left before leaving Jiaxing. During these three days, I continuously cultivated various abilities, focusing especially on talisman drawing and the casting of the Samadhi Fire spell. In just three days, I had made some progress in both the Soul-Exorcising Talisman and the Samadhi Fire spell. I also followed Su Xiaoniu's advice and drew a few Soul-Exorcising Talismans in preparation.
Soon it was the beginning of the month, the Grain Rain season, when all things came back to life. The scorching sun shrouded the sky over the city, and although it was blocked by layers of dark clouds, it still stubbornly emitted its brilliant light to warm people.
Zhao Xi and Huo Liang woke up early and packed a car full of travel gear, large and small, as if they were going on a trip. But then again, there was no telling how long it would take to return from this trip south to Jiaxing. It might actually turn out to be a long-distance trip!
I didn't have much to prepare, and even if I did, I would have already put it all in a big bag and wait for Zhao Xi and the others to be ready before getting in the car.
Set off to Jiaxing in the south!
