She felt as if a thousand pounds were pressing down on her, making it impossible for her to breathe or move. She felt her eyes were open because she saw Sister Bai. But there seemed to be a dark shadow on her.
"Get away...get away...!" Qin Xuehai kept shouting in her heart, but she couldn't make a sound. At this moment, she felt as if she was about to die, and unknown fear filled her heart.
Sister Bai also noticed Qin Xuehai's unusual behavior; this was definitely not normal. Upon seeing this, Mao Shanming exclaimed loudly, "Oh no! She's putting her claws on the bed!"
"Claw pressing on the bed" doesn't actually mean that a claw spirit is pressing down on you; it's a psychological reaction, caused by being frightened or experiencing excessive mental stress.
Mao Shanming was about to wake Qin Xuehai, but Sister Bai stopped him, saying, "You can't wake her up. Her mind is already affected. If you wake her up again, she might suffer another injury!"
“We can’t just watch her live in fear forever, can we?” Mao Shanming said, and Mao Xiaozhen nodded and said, “Yes, this sister looks so pitiful and helpless right now. Um… Brother Bai, please help her!”
"Um, what did you call me?"
"Brother Bai, I was only nineteen when I died. You were twenty, older than me, so of course I called you brother. Oh dear, please help this older sister! She looks so miserable!"
As a Taoist priestess, Sister Bai knew there were two situations in which people should not be woken up. One was sleepwalking, and the other was the infamous "claw pressing on the bed"! Waking someone up in either of these situations could result in illness at best, and even mental impairment at worst.
However, Mao Xiaozhen is already a little girl who can barely take care of herself, yet she still cares so much about others.
Sister Bai nodded slightly to Mao Xiaozhen and said, "She should be fine. I have a talisman on her body. No evil spirits can enter her body at this time. She can pull through on her own."
Actually, at this point, Sister Bai didn't know how to help Qin Xuehai either, otherwise she would have already intervened. She vividly remembered that before she came to this world, she had experienced a claw pressing on the bed one night while sleeping. At that time, she felt lost and helpless, and was completely gripped by fear.
At this moment, Qin Xuehai was still under that immense pressure and unable to escape. For someone deeply trapped in it, time seemed to stretch on forever. But for the person standing by the bed, it was only a few minutes.
Over those few minutes, Qin Xuehai slowly saw a figure appear beside him. The figure resembled Sister Bai, calling out to him. Then Qin Xuehai felt his back regain movement, followed by his hands. The dark shadow pressing down on him gradually faded.
Finally, Qin Xuehai suddenly opened his eyes!
Seeing Qin Xuehai open her eyes, Sister Bai breathed a sigh of relief. But just as she was about to walk over, Mao Xiaozhen floated to Qin Xuehai's side, smiling sweetly as she asked, "Sister, how are you feeling?"
After a brief moment of surprise, Qin Xuehai realized she was back in reality. Sister Bai was standing by her bedside, smiling faintly. The girl in front of her had a really nice voice, and a rather cute one at that. It was just that her face was a little too pale, almost unnaturally so.
"I'm fine. Who are you?" Qin Xuehai asked with a smile. Mao Xiaozhen immediately replied with a smile, "Hello, sister. My name is Mao Xiaozhen, and that's my father!"
As she spoke, Mao Xiaozhen pointed at Mao Shanming. Qin Xuehai looked at Mao Shanming in surprise; these days, it was rare to see someone still calling their father "Daddy." But when she looked away, she noticed Mao Xiaozhen's feet, which weren't touching the ground, and her eyes widened immediately.
"You, why aren't your feet on the ground?!"
Teacher Qin, having experienced quite a bit, instinctively thought of Xiao Zhen. Mao Xiao Zhen was also taken aback, then immediately put her feet down and smiled sheepishly.
Fortunately, Teacher Qin isn't a timid woman, otherwise she probably would have fainted from fright again. Sister Bai went over and comforted Qin Xuehai, saying, "Teacher Qin, Xiao Zhen is my newly adopted sister. How are you feeling now? Can I see that talisman?"
Qin Xuehai said it was nothing, and then reached behind her back. But when she touched her back, she was shocked and got up to search the bed.
Sister Bai looked at her, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The talisman... the talisman is gone!" Qin Xuehai said in surprise.
Chapter 27 Poaching
The talisman has disappeared!
Not only Qin Xuehai, but even Sister Bai looked astonished.
How could the talisman that was stuck to her just suddenly disappear? That's hilarious!
Sister Bai still didn't believe it and went over to take a look. Qin Xuehai was lifting his clothes when Sister Bai, clearly having forgotten her past hurt, actually reached inside!
The moment she touched Qin Xuehai's skin, Qin Xuehai grabbed Bai Jie's hand and pushed her away with force!
Bai Jie was even more shocked now. Qin Xuehai's strength just now was not something an ordinary woman could possess. She was just a teacher, a seemingly frail woman.
Qin Xuehai hadn't expected it either; she only knew that she had pushed Sister Bai away. Seeing Sister Bai stumble, she rushed over, her face changing drastically, and said apologetically, "Sister Bai, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! Please don't mind!"
"It's okay, push me again!" Sister Bai said to Qin Xuehai as if she had discovered a new continent. Qin Xuehai felt extremely guilty and said, "Sister Bai, I really didn't mean to just now. I didn't expect to have so much strength!"
