She gripped her mother's hand tightly, veins bulging on her forehead, her eyes, now just pupils, fixed on her, her face contorted in a grimace, her voice choked with sobs: "Why don't you want me—why! Why!!"
Li Yuzhen's mother screamed in fright and instinctively tried to shake off Li Yuzhen's hand, but she was holding on too tightly, and the sharp nails were almost digging into her flesh, so she couldn't shake it off at all.
Nan Yuanman, who had just caught up, saw the overwhelming resentment emanating from Li Yuzhen and quickly pulled out a talisman from his small bag and threw it at her: "Go!"
The talisman struck Li Yuzhen, who let out a shrill, inhuman scream in pain.
The next second, two streaks of black mist emerged from Li Yuzhen's body and swiftly slipped out of the half-open window, escaping immediately!
Nan Yuanman frowned slightly, but didn't chase after them. Instead, she looked at Li Yuzhen's mother, who looked utterly shaken. After examining her face closely, a realization dawned on her round face.
So that's how it is...
This unscientific scene almost made Li Yuzhen's mother faint. Her eyes widened, and she asked in a trembling voice, "What...what was that just now?"
Nan Yuanman looked completely innocent and said, "A ghost!"
Li Yuzhen's mother: "!!"
She suddenly fainted by the bedside.
Feng Congqian: "..."
He silently lowered his head and looked at Nan Yuanman.
Nan Yuanman scratched his head and muttered to himself, "I didn't mean to... Okay, I did. I didn't expect her to be so timid..."
She had just seen them; those two wisps of mist that had fled were two tiny infant spirits.
These two infant spirits have a karmic connection with Li Yuzhen's mother, and her fertility chart shows that she once had two children who died young...
These two infant spirits are very likely the two babies she once had who died young.
Or, to make a bold guess, their premature deaths were related to Li Yuzhen's mother.
That's why she deliberately tries to scare her.
Feng Congqian sighed helplessly, turned around and went out to call Teacher Li in so that she could help Li Yuzhen's mother to lie down on the cot.
Nan Yuanman walked to the bedside, climbed onto the accompanying stool with a slurping sound, and took out a talisman from his small handbag, folded it into a triangle, and stuffed it into Li Yuzhen's pocket.
They gave her another purification talisman, and the lingering yin energy and resentment on Li Yuzhen's body were gradually dispelled by the talisman.
Her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
Ten minutes later.
Li Yuzhen woke up from her coma. She opened her eyes, looked blank, and sat up, clutching her forehead: "My head hurts so much... How did I end up in bed?"
Wasn't she playing with Lou Yuqi in the sandpit building those sandcastles? How did she end up in bed in the blink of an eye? Where is she?
Li Yuzhen was a little scared, and just as she was about to cry, Nan Yuanman's voice came: "You're awake?"
Li Yuzhen turned her head sharply in the direction of the sound and saw Nan Yuanman struggling to peel a large orange. When she saw Li Yuzhen looking over, Nan Yuanman waved the orange in her hand and asked, "Want some?"
"Boss!" Li Yuzhen called out to her in surprise, nodding, "I want to eat!"
Nan Yuanman handed her a segment of orange, not in a hurry to ask her anything, but sat on the hospital bed with her as she ate, trying to ease her tension.
Just then, Li Yuzhen's mother, who had been unconscious, woke up from the cot and exclaimed, "Yuzhen!"
Li Yuzhen, holding an orange, looked at her mother, who had sat up from the hospital bed, with a surprised expression: "Mom? What are you doing here?"
"Yuzhen! My precious baby!" Li Yuzhen's mother staggered off the bed, hugged her tightly, her face full of joy and relief at having found her again.
Nan Yuanman shuffled off the bed, making room for the emotionally charged mother and daughter.
Hearing the commotion, Teacher Li came in from outside the ward, her face full of joy: "Little Li Yuzhen, you're finally awake! Do you remember how you got to the rooftop?"
Li Yuzhen looked bewildered: "Go to the rooftop? I didn't go to the rooftop. I... I was playing with Lou Yuqi in the sandpit. Then, I felt really sleepy, so I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I was here..."
Teacher Li looked surprised: "Don't you remember? You fell from the roof, that's why we took you to the hospital. Little Nan Yuanman even saved you!"
Li Yuzhen still looked completely bewildered.
She remembers nothing.
Nan Yuanman carefully observed Li Yuzhen's condition and judged that she must have been possessed and controlled by those two infant spirits, and she had completely forgotten that memory.
That's good, at least I won't be scared.
Li Yuzhen's mother seemed to sense something as well. She hugged Li Yuzhen tightly and pursed her lips without saying a word.
Teacher Li didn't believe Li Yuzhen had forgotten everything, so she asked her a few more questions and found that she knew nothing about the subject.
Li Yuzhen's mother hugged her and said in a slightly firm tone, "Teacher Li, the child may have selectively forgotten that memory due to the shock. Please don't press her any further."
"Don't worry, I won't hold the kindergarten responsible. Yuzhen just woke up and is still weak. She needs to rest. You should go back first."
Teacher Li had to leave the ward temporarily.
Before leaving, Nan Yuanman pulled out a light green business card from her small handbag. It featured a cute cartoon character and was named "Nan's Coffin Shop." Below it were the words: "Feng Shui consultation, fortune telling, exorcism, coffin for sale." She handed the card to her.
"Auntie, this is my shop's business card. If you need anything, you can call the phone number on the business card to contact me."
Li Yuzhen's mother still had a good impression of Nan Yuanman, not to mention that she was the one who saved Yuzhen, and she was especially grateful to her.
She also hadn't forgotten that when Li Yuzhen had turned into a monstrous, hideous figure, it was Nan Yuanman who had restored her to her original state.
Without consulting Nan Yuanman, she solemnly accepted the business card: "Thank you, my little benefactor. I'll contact you if I need anything."
"And since you saved Yuzhen today, I will bring you generous gifts to visit you tomorrow."
Her mind was in complete chaos, and she had no energy to properly thank Nan Yuanman.
Nan Yuanman waved his hand: "You're welcome. I'll be going now. Yuzhen, see you tomorrow."
Li Yuzhen nodded obediently: "Okay, bye-bye, boss."
After everyone left the ward, Li Yuzhen's mother sat on the hospital bed with Li Yuzhen in her arms, without saying a word.
Li Yuzhen keenly sensed that her mother was not in a good mood. She twisted her small body and turned to look at her with concern: "Mom, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
"I'm sorry, Yuzhen was too naughty and made you worry."
Hearing that soft, sweet voice, Li Yuzhen's mother's heart softened. She recalled the two wisps of black mist that had just flown out of the window, and then remembered Li Yuzhen's heart-wrenching questions. Her arms around her tightened slightly.
Li Yuzhen's mother opened and closed her mouth, but in the end she didn't ask. She whispered, "You are the precious child that your mother saved with half her life. As long as you are safe and healthy, your mother will be fine."
She closed her eyes and buried her head in Li Yuzhen's small shoulder. She was sorry to those two children. If they wanted revenge, they should come at her.
