Chapter 15: A Hero Saves a Beauty
Liu Jiaoli dodged in fear, and her sprained ankle was painful.
She thought that she had been holding Jiang Changdong's hand for so long just now. Did he know that she was awake all along and deliberately made less noise to trick her?
Suddenly cold sweat climbed up my back.
Jiang Changdong in front of him seemed to have lost his mind and was being controlled by someone, like a puppet.
No matter how she shouted, there was no response from the other party.
Despair filled her body like a dam bursting. She watched helplessly and fearfully as "Jiang Changdong" walked towards her step by step.
Seeing that he was about to open his bloody mouth and pounce on her again, Liu Jiaoli closed her eyes resignedly.
“Help!!!”
The imagined pain did not subside, Liu Jiaoli opened her eyes blankly,
Jiang Changdong's hand stopped a few centimeters away from her, maintaining the posture of rushing towards her, unable to move.
Under his feet was a talisman array.
"Why do you bully women? You are so incompetent."
Shen Qingze made hand gestures and walked in from the gate against the light. His clothes fluttered without wind, his eyes radiated golden light, and his shoulder-length hair was blown slightly.
At that moment, he seemed like a god descended from the sky.
It's so beautiful that it takes your breath away.
"Jiang Changdong" turned his head stiffly, his lifeless eyes seemed full of resentment, staring at him angrily,
Shen Qingze walked into the house and slowly approached Liu Jiaoli.
"Why are you looking at me? You have the guts to bully a woman, but don't you allow me to be a hero and save her?"
Liu Jiaoli looked at Shen Qingze in surprise, as if she didn't expect him to show up so timely.
"Mr. Shen, you didn't go home?"
Shen Qing pointed to the snack bag on the ground next to the door and said with a smile
"If you forget to take something, come back and get it"
Jiang Changdong felt that he was being ignored. He roared to the sky and twisted his body to try to break free from Shen Qingze's restraints.
"Stop struggling, this is a binding formation, be quiet"
He didn't seem to believe in evil, and he tried even harder to emit ghost energy. The two forces collided in the air and confronted each other.
Shen Qingze raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
“Very persistent”
He waved his hand, and the flames on his fingertips jumped a few inches more violently. With his slender fingertips, it jumped flexibly and then rushed towards "Jiang Changdong" fiercely.
Feeling the huge power coming from the other party, even Liu Jiaoli forgot to shout.
"Jiang Changdong" moved his body backwards, then suddenly roared towards the sky, and a strong resentment suddenly broke out of his body.
Jiang Changdong lost his support and fell to the ground.
The ghost that ran out of his body retreated in panic, stood not far from the three people, and glared at them angrily.
"Oh, you finally came out? I thought you would stay inside like a coward."
The ghost floating not far away was also harmed by the talisman, and no one knew what it was thinking.
Shen Qing decided to check on Mrs. Liu and Jiang Changdong first.
Jiang Changdong's breathing was stable and there was nothing wrong with his body. He was probably just possessed by a ghost and had lost his self-consciousness, but his life was not in danger.
"Mrs. Liu, are you injured?"
Liu Jiaoli nodded, her pale face still not completely gone, and asked timidly,
"How's my husband? Is he going to be okay?!"
Shen Qing smiled and shook his head.
"He's fine, he just fell asleep and will wake up later."
Shen Qing turned his head and looked at the ghost not far away.
"The most urgent thing now is to solve this problem first."
The ghost recovered and Shen Qing could see its appearance in the moonlight.
She had long straight black hair down to her waist, her face was pale, and she was wearing a white skirt. The hem of the skirt seemed to be stained with blood and was dirty and messy. She was thin and looked like she would fall down if the wind blew.
She looked like a smart little girl when she was alive, so how could she have so much resentment? This is no longer an ordinary ghost. It can possess and control living people. It must be an evil ghost!
"Excuse me, young lady, what is your name? Why are you hurting people here?"
The girl raised her head and looked at Shen Qingze with a haggard face, and asked with resentment,
"You are a Taoist priest? Why are you helping them?!"
Shen Qing waved his hand.
"Take money from others and help them get rid of disasters"
The girl yelled, "You and them are all bad people! You are in the same group!"
"Whatever you think, you haven't answered my question yet."
Not only did the girl not answer Shen Qingze's question, but she kept muttering to herself.
"I'm going to kill him,"
"But he has a lot of helpers,"
"What should I do, what should I do?"
The girl's increasingly nervous appearance completely wore out Shen Qingze's patience. He spoke impatiently,
"Tell me who you want to kill, and I'll help you kill him if you answer my questions!"
The girl finally raised her head and looked at him in surprise, but then slowly turned to fear and despair, and shouted in a shrill voice,
"No, you're a bad guy too if you help them! You're all bad guys!"
The girl's figure slowly disappeared with screams that became more and more shrill, leaving behind Shen Qingze who was confused and Liu Jiaoli who was full of sorrow.
Shen Qing came back to his senses, looked at the woman hunched over on the ground, and said calmly,
"Mrs. Liu, it seems that you haven't explained a lot of things to me."
Liu Jiaoli's already frail body looked even weaker at this moment. She supported her unconscious husband and sat on the ground in silence. Perhaps she was still unable to accept what she had just faced.
Shen Qing sighed helplessly. He could only wait until dawn and until both of them had recovered before he could continue questioning them.
－－－－－
Shen Qingze was waiting in the living room. The tea in his hand tasted warm and had a light fragrance.
Liu Jiaoli calmed down the still-drowsy Jiang Changdong and walked down the stairs slowly.
"Sorry for the long wait, Mr. Shen"
"Soon, you take care of the household affairs first, I'm not in a hurry"
Shen Qing held the tea in one hand and picked up a potato chip with the other hand and stuffed it into his mouth. He didn't look serious at all.
Liu Jiaoli considered her tone and said with a wry smile,
"Thank you so much for saving my life last night."
"If you hadn't come in time, my husband and I would have been..."
Shen Qingze didn't mean to come back. He just remembered that he hadn't taken his snacks when he reached the door of his house. He didn't know when he would be there next time. He couldn't accept giving away the snacks he had worked so hard to buy, so he wanted to come back in the middle of the night to take them secretly.
Unexpectedly, I hit the jackpot and happened to be the hero saving the beauty.
"You're welcome. I expected this."
It's like pretending well.
Liu Jiaoli smiled helplessly
"I was originally worried about Mr. Liu's ability, but now I am really blind and have wrongly blamed him."
Shen Qing put down the teacup and said seriously
"I'll express my gratitude later, Madam Liu. You saw what happened last night. If you have any more unspeakable things to say to me, I'm afraid this matter won't be resolved. You won't be so lucky next time."
Being able to save someone once doesn’t mean you can save them countless times.
Liu Jiaoli knew it clearly in her heart, but she really couldn't say it out loud. Would this sinful secret that had been hidden for so long finally be revealed by her one day?
"Have you ever heard of the word 'imprisonment'?"
