Chapter 1297 The Returnee's Notes 371
"No! No... Master, I'm waiting for someone. Can you please not kill me? I want to wait for my mother. She's almost gone, and I need to watch over her. What if she gets bullied by other ghosts?"
The male ghost was wearing a very ordinary shirt, but it was covered in dust and bloodstains, and half of its head was broken.
He was now looking at Xie Ning with a fawning expression, completely lacking any dignity.
"Come in first."
She didn't bring the Soul Umbrella, so she just put the ghost into a porcelain bottle, which was a disposable item, but it was small and easy to carry.
When they came out, Yang Hong and He Ruo were chatting happily, and the caregiver would occasionally chime in. Compared to Xie Ning, He Ruo seemed more relaxed chatting with Yang Hong.
Xie Ning, however, ignored the two of them and looked in the direction the fireworks were drifting, which landed on He Ruo.
Xie Ning stopped in front of the group and pointed to Yang Hong, "Auntie, I'd like her to buy me something, but she's not familiar with this area. Could you come along and show me the way?"
Yang Hong immediately replied, "Yes, Auntie, this is my first time here. I don't know what shops are nearby. Can you take me around?"
After receiving He Ruo's approval, Auntie happily went downstairs with Yang Hong, who was an extremely warm-hearted person.
After everyone left, Xie Ning turned to look at He Ruo.
"He Ruo, have you been to any strange places lately, or received anything strange? This thing makes you feel uncomfortable..."
He Ruo didn't know why Xie Ning asked that, "No, I didn't go to any strange places."
As for the strange things that made her uncomfortable, He Ruo subconsciously thought of Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy who grants children, but quickly shook off the thought, after all, that was Guanyin who grants children.
She suffered so much, yet still couldn't conceive. Not wanting her family to fall apart, her husband happened to find a wise man who claimed he could help her conceive.
She said that she had been having miscarriages because the soul of the baby in her womb was weak, and this Guanyin Bodhisattva who grants children is for nourishing the body and soul.
After she wears it for a while, she can go abroad to have the surgery. The IVF technology there is more advanced, and she won't have to suffer as much.
She didn't really believe in the concept of spirits, but she felt that the technology abroad would be more advanced and the prices there weren't too high, so she hesitantly agreed.
She saw many women there who had successfully undergone IVF, and she also saw those bright and beautiful children... She would have one too.
Through daily assimilation, He Ruo has transformed from initially being indifferent to having children to now having a strong desire to have them.
So she didn't tell the truth.
"...and I didn't receive anything strange."
Xie Ning looked down and met He Ruo's gaze, quickly realizing that the other party was lying. "You can't fool me, He Ruo."
He Ruo instinctively shrank back, and then Xie Ning grabbed her shoulder. She then heard Xie Ning say something very strange, in a tone she couldn't understand.
"Engineer Xie, what are you doing...?"
Before she could finish speaking, the yellow talisman Xie Ning was holding caught fire, and the embers, still glowing, fell on her. In that instant, she felt a sharp pain.
He Ruo's face turned pale instantly, and cold sweat poured down her forehead.
Xie Ning didn't want to hurt her, so he took a little cinnabar, put it on his fingertip, and then dotted it on He Ruo's body a few times. With his other hand, he controlled He Ruo's injured hand to prevent it from moving around.
A moment later, a cloud of black mist shot out from He Ruo's body. He Ruo looked up blankly and then heard a faint baby crying from the black mist.
"What...is this?"
ghost? ghost!
The moment the thought crossed her mind, He Ruo couldn't withstand the shock and fainted.
Xie Ning didn't hold back when dealing with the wisp of black energy; she directly put it into the bottle, and just in case, she added a small bell to the red string at the bottle's opening.
After doing all this, Xie Ning finally freed his hands to help He Ruo sit up properly. He placed his fingertips on her pulse and knew that He Ruo was just frightened and still a little weak, but there was nothing seriously wrong with her.
While covering He Ruo with a blanket, Xie Ning noticed the small Guanyin statue hanging around He Ruo's neck, which still had a trace of black energy remaining on it.
It looks like it's made of jade, but it's not. It's not real jade, but a synthetic jade made of resin.
After all, jade is believed to possess a spirit and is meant to ward off evil and promote health; such a situation should not occur.
