As for what fate awaits Liu Ming if he falls into the hands of the Hu family, Lin Xi is not worried at all.
After all, given what it did, it would be perfectly reasonable for it to be completely destroyed by the ghosts of the Hu family.
Even if those few ghosts go down to the underworld, the underworld won't be able to hold them too responsible.
Compared to the crimes Liu Ming committed, this ending can only be considered as him reaping what he sowed.
......
Two days later, Hu Meng finally returned to work after her leave ended.
A smile finally appeared on her face.
Upon seeing Lin Xi, he quickly thanked her and mentioned that his parents wanted to treat Lin Xi to dinner after get off work.
Eating is secondary; what we really need to do is properly thank Lin Xi for her help this time.
If it weren't for Lin Xi, her father's situation probably wouldn't be resolved yet, and he might have to leave them again in a few months.
Moreover, it's likely that other younger members of the Hu family will follow in the footsteps of their elders...
It's no exaggeration to say that Lin Xi not only saved her father, but also dozens of members of the Hu family!
Such a great kindness cannot be repaid with just a meal.
So when they were eating, they would give Lin Xi a big gift.
Lin Xi never refused a dinner invitation, so she readily agreed.
During the break, Hu Meng also told her about her grandfather and uncle.
Liu Ming was locked up by her uncle and his family. Just like what Liu Ming had done to her uncle and his family before, they used all sorts of methods on Liu Ming, determined to make her taste this kind of pain first!
And her grandfather has now been brought to live with them.
Although the elderly person has not yet fully recovered, a check-up at the hospital revealed that there was nothing seriously wrong with their health.
After that, we could only do as Lin Xi suggested and let him rest and recover gradually.
In short, everything is moving in a positive direction.
At 5:30 pm, Lin Xi and Hu Meng went to the private room at the restaurant that the Hu family had booked in advance.
This is a well-known Sichuan restaurant in the area. Lin Xi quite liked the taste of the food, and her steps were even a little more cheerful when she entered.
Upon entering the private room, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when she saw what was laid out on the table.
On the dining table was a rectangular box, not very big, about the size of a scroll painting.
However, what was placed in the box at this moment was not a painting, but a long, round bone that looked like white jade.
The bone, of unknown origin, was lustrous and shiny, and at first glance resembled a jade flute.
Moreover, Lin Xi could also sense bursts of spiritual energy from it.
Seeing Lin Xi staring at the bone, Mr. Hu immediately explained its origin.
According to Mr. Hu, the bone belonged to a friend of his who is a bone carving enthusiast.
That friend has always been very interested in bone carving. Years ago, he discovered this uncarved ox bone at an auction house. It was perfect in both color and shape, so he bought it in one go.
During the auction, the auction house stated that although the cow bone was not a rare or precious animal bone, it was nearly a thousand years old and could definitely be considered an antique!
Normal cow bones will eventually decompose completely, which is commonly known as rotting, within one or two years to several decades or even a hundred years.
But this cow bone has been buried in the ground for nearly a thousand years without rotting, so it is definitely not an ordinary item.
Furthermore, this cow bone is longer and more exquisitely shaped than ordinary cow leg bones, making it extremely valuable for collection.
When Mr. Hu's friend, a bone carving enthusiast, saw the perfect bone, he immediately took a picture of it.
After taking the picture, this can only be considered as raw material. He still needs to find a professional bone carver to carve things.
However, since he hadn't decided what to carve on the ox bone and didn't want to treat this perfect bone carelessly, he could only put it aside for the time being.
If that were all, Mr. Hu wouldn't have bothered to take out the cow bone and give it to Lin Xi.
The reason he gave Lin Xi this ox bone was because it seemed to have other miraculous effects.
After Mr. Hu's friend, who is a bone carving enthusiast, bought this cow bone, his luck suddenly improved, and his business became more and more prosperous.
Therefore, he firmly believed that this ox bone must be a symbol of good fortune.
However, that friend later grew old and passed away due to illness. Before his death, Mr. Hu spent a lot of money to buy the cow bone from him.
The cow bones weren't kept in the house they currently live in, but in another property of theirs.
Before the curse on Mr. Hu was lifted, he would occasionally go to that house to take a look.
I don't know if it's really because the cow bone has auspicious energy, or if it's just psychological.
In short, he always felt much more relaxed and comfortable after visiting that house.
However, he didn't think too much about it at the time. He figured he would die like his brothers and sisters in a few months anyway, so even if the cow bone had some effect, it probably wouldn't be very effective for him.
Therefore, he never considered using the cow bones as a lifeline.
Now that the matter was resolved, he and his wife were discussing how to thank Lin Xi when they remembered the cow bone.
Lin Xi has done the Hu family such a great favor, saving the lives of dozens of people in their family. Simply giving her money doesn't feel quite right.
So after thinking about it for a long time, Mr. Hu realized that besides money, this was the only thing they had to offer.
Regardless of whether the ox bone has any other use, it is certainly not insignificant as a collectible.
It's something that's presentable enough.
So Mr. Hu put the cow bone away, intending to give it to Lin Xi along with a red envelope.
After listening to Mr. Hu's explanation of the origin of the cow bone, Lin Xi quickly gave him an affirmative answer.
"These ox bones are indeed extraordinary; they must have been left behind by an ox that had become a spirit."
Everything in the world has the potential to cultivate itself into a spirit, and the ox is no exception.
A cow that has become a spirit is naturally different from an ordinary cow. If it follows the righteous path when cultivating its spirit, its aura will be a very pure righteous spiritual energy.
The owner of this cow bone was clearly a cow that followed the righteous path of cultivation; otherwise, the bone wouldn't still be able to sense spiritual energy after so many years.
Although the spiritual energy in this cow bone has become very diluted due to the long passage of time, it can still be made into a magical artifact if properly processed.
Lin Xi gladly accepted the gift, and also found a red envelope inside the box containing a bank card.
She glanced at it only once, and then accepted it along with the beef bone without any qualms.
Afterwards, Mr. Hu quickly asked the waiter to serve the dishes, and Lin Xi finally began to enjoy the food.
Seeing that Mr. Hu and his family had put a lot of thought into the gifts, Lin Xi gave Hu Meng and the others two talismans after the meal, telling them to place the talismans next to Mr. Hu so that his soul could recover as soon as possible.
Upon hearing this, Hu Meng and the other two were once again moved to tears of gratitude.
......
Although the cow bones are good, Lin Xi hasn't decided what to do with them yet.
If you want to make bone carving talismans, you can only make one talisman at most because there aren't enough materials.
Moreover, she already had enough talismans, whether they were paper talismans, wooden talismans, or jade talismans, and her Qiankun bag already contained a certain number of them.
