Chapter 79: Only Ashes Left of the Talisman Paper
After hearing the sound, Qin Yunie and Mrs. Li immediately ran out quickly.
When they arrived, they were shocked by what they saw.
The ground was littered with broken bottle fragments, a mess. At this moment, Sister Wang fell to the side, looking very embarrassed.
Mrs. Li's face changed drastically when she saw what was on the ground. She pointed at the small rag doll in horror, her mouth wide open, but she couldn't utter a complete sentence: "This, this, this..."
Qin Yunie approached cautiously and observed carefully. She was surprised to find that among the broken pieces of the bottle, there was a small and exquisite doll lying there quietly.
The doll was wrapped in a piece of bloodstained cloth with a person's birth date clearly written on it.
What’s even more creepy is that there is a needle as thin as a hair stuck in the doll’s body, which is almost imperceptible if you don’t look closely.
Although Qin Yunie didn't know what this meant, she could feel intuitively that this was definitely not a good thing.
Her face instantly darkened, and without hesitation she reached out and smashed another jade plate next to her to the ground. However, what was unexpected was that there was something hidden in the jade plate.
Qin Yunie then burned the painting again. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the painting seemed to twist and he could faintly hear a sharp cry.
She looked around and didn't see anything unusual.
At this time, the painting also started to burn and soon turned into ashes.
After being frightened, Mrs. Li held onto the stone pillar next to her and gasped for breath.
Qin Yunie walked over, supported her, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
She shook her head, her voice a little hoarse and trembling, "I, I'm fine."
Qin Yunie helped her into the house, sat her on the sofa, and asked the servant to pour her a glass of water.
At this time, the other servants also helped Sister Wang in.
Mrs. Li's hands were still a little cold. She held the steaming cup as if she was grabbing a lifeline, and took a sip with trembling hands.
The warm water flowed down my throat into my stomach, and my body felt slightly better.
Mrs. Li was so angry that her face turned blue, her chest heaving, and she shouted angrily: "Shang Mingyue really has such vicious thoughts!"
Qin Yunie quickly supported her and comforted her: "Aunt Li, don't be angry, your health is important."
Mrs. Li took a few deep breaths, calmed down a little, turned around and ordered the servants behind her, "Burn all those things outside and throw them away. The farther the better! Also, don't let anyone know what happened today. Anyone who violates this will be fired! I'll sue you for breach of contract!"
The servants had just heard the noise and seen what happened outside. They were all a little scared, but there was nothing they could do as they couldn't afford to pay the high penalty for breach of contract, so they responded in unison and quickly went outside to clean up the debris.
After giving the instructions, Mrs. Li finally recovered.
Mrs. Li looked at Qin Yunie, held her hand and said gratefully: "It's all thanks to you today. If you hadn't brought the news today, I'm afraid she would have succeeded in her plan!"
Qin Yunie smiled and shook her head. "Aunt Li, you are too kind. I am just doing my duty as someone entrusted me with this."
Mrs. Li looked at Qin Yunie seriously and shook her head. "If you hadn't brought the news in time, what would it have been useful for Old Qian to know about it? Since he chose you to bring the news, it means that he is powerless. But you can definitely send the news later. But by then, I'm afraid it won't be long before I go to see Old Qian."
She sighed, "I never thought that there would be a day when an eagle would peck my eyes."
"The doll has my birth date on it. Not many people know it, and Shang Mingyue is one of them. I didn't expect that she would use it against me!"
"Shang Mingyue and I were actually college classmates. We didn't keep in touch after graduation until ten years ago, when I saw her being harassed by a customer in a store. I gave her some money to invest in her husband's business. As a result, her family got involved with ours and slowly started to get better."
"A few years ago, when Lao Qian was still alive, his family learned that Lao Qian liked to collect antiques, so they specially sent one here. Gradually, they sent one every one or two years, and we got used to it."
Mrs. Li slammed the sofa in anger and said, "Recently, she said she met a seller who had a lot of good stuff. They made some money and sent some to me every now and then. I didn't expect she would have such thoughts!"
Qin Yunie reminded: "Uncle Qian gave you the thing wrapped in cloth and told you to always carry it with you."
She murmured, turning around and heading upstairs, "Yes, yes, I'll get it and put it on me now."
Meanwhile, a man in a black Taoist robe was swearing to Shang Mingyue, "Don't worry, as long as she keeps those three items at home, within three months, she will definitely become weak and sick, and will have hallucinations because of the painting, and eventually die."
However, the next second, he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, "Puff - cough cough..."
He shouted angrily, "Who is it! Who on earth discovered and ruined my plan?!"
Shang Mingyue immediately asked nervously: "Master, did she find out? Did she find out? Didn't you say it was foolproof? How come she found out right after I sent it over!"
The man called Master bit his finger and drew a talisman in the air, closing his eyes and muttering something.
Qin Yunie didn't know why, but she felt uncomfortable and panicked. She subconsciously looked upstairs.
The next second, she heard a scream from upstairs, "Ah——"
Her heart skipped a beat. Oh no! It was Aunt Li!
She immediately ran upstairs.
As soon as I reached the stairs, I saw Mrs. Li standing there in a daze, dazed and distracted.
Qin Yunie saw that she was fine, so he slowly walked over and asked with a slight breath: "Aunt Li, what happened?"
After Qin Yunie asked, he discovered that there was a pile of ashes at Mrs. Li's feet.
"I, I don't know either. I was just about to put the talisman that Lao Qian gave me on my body, but the talisman paper caught fire in my hand, and I subconsciously let go of it because of the burn." Mrs. Li said blankly.
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and was surprised to find that the talisman paper she had just taken had disappeared, leaving only a pile of ashes at her feet.
Mrs. Li: "Where is the talisman paper I just took?"
Qin Yunie's gaze fell on the ashes at her feet, and she vaguely felt that it was the talisman paper that saved Mrs. Li's life just now.
If Mrs. Li hadn't come up to take the talisman paper and held it in her hand, maybe now...
