Chapter 37: Collecting Ghosts
"Xiao Wei, my wife, I'm here to pick you up."
"Xiao Wei, come to me, I will take you home. We agreed to be together forever."
A cold voice came from far away, calling Yang Xiaowei's name again and again.
Inside the room, the window that was originally closed was suddenly blown open by a gust of wind.
In July, the weather was extremely hot, with the temperature approaching 40 degrees Celsius every day.
The sun was scorching outside, but the wind blowing into the room was chilly.
The temperature in the room seemed to drop by more than ten degrees in an instant, making people feel goose bumps all over.
Yang Xiaowei heard the cold voice calling her name, and she covered her ears in fear: "No, I'm not your wife, go away, and don't come to me again."
Although Chen Shufen didn't hear anything, she immediately stepped forward and held her daughter in her arms. Even though she was trembling with fear, she did not let go of her daughter at all.
The cold voice was getting closer and closer, carrying with it a tremendous rage.
"Whoever dares to stop Xiao Wei and me and stop us from being together shall die!"
More and more black smoke floated in from the window, until the entire room was almost completely engulfed by the black smoke.
Outside the ward, Chen Shufen and her family saw the bright room suddenly become dark, and then they could not see anything clearly.
A cold breath came out from the crack in the door.
Chen Shufen widened her eyes and watched the wisps of black smoke sweeping towards Yang Xiaowei in her arms at a very fast speed, but just as they touched her, they seemed to hit something and retreated at a very fast speed.
This was repeated several times.
The black smoke seemed to know that he could no longer get close to Yang Xiaowei. After letting out a sharp roar, it went back into the ward.
Chen Shufen was so frightened that she almost lost her soul. After realizing that the talisman had worked, she held the talisman in her hand even tighter, as if she were grasping at a life-saving straw.
Yang Xiaoni and Yang Zhiqiang, who witnessed the scene nearby, were also trembling with fear. The family huddled together, not daring to breathe.
Inside the room, black smoke roared and swept towards the air. After a moment, it slowly gathered into a human shape.
He is a man about forty years old.
The man's face was pale, his facial features were distorted and so hideous that his original appearance could no longer be discerned.
A pair of resentful scarlet eyes drooped from mid-air, and a cold and murderous gaze fell on Jiang Ruan Ning.
After discovering that he had been deceived, the male ghost above his head looked even more resentful.
"Anyone who dares to stop me from doing good things will die!" The male ghost's voice was cold and murderous.
Jiang Ruan Ning looked up at the sky with cold eyes, and took out a stack of yellow talismans calmly: "No one could be interested in you when you were alive, and you still want to match you with a pretty female college student after you die. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself to see if you are worthy?"
The male ghost was instantly enraged. His ferocious face opened wide with a bloody mouth that was split behind his ears. He let out a sharp ghost cry and pounced towards Jiang Ruan Ning.
Jiang Ruan Ning narrowed her eyes, pinched a yellow talisman between her fingers, lowered her head and silently recited a few spells, and the talisman burned in her hand.
She threw the talisman into the air.
A loud rumbling thunder suddenly sounded.
A bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere in the room and struck the male ghost in mid-air.
The male ghost immediately let out a scream, and most of the black energy on his body was chopped off.
Jiang Ruan Ning didn't give him any time to catch his breath.
The talisman in his hand was thrown out, and the second thunder sounded.
After being struck several times in succession, the male ghost let out an angry and shrill roar in pain, and fell to the ground from mid-air.
He finally realized the danger, and an expression of fear appeared on his hideous face. He endured the pain and crawled up from the ground, wanting to fly out of the window.
Jiang Ruan Ning sneered: "Want to run, it's too late!"
The four talismans in his hand flew into the air and turned into four golden rays of light, standing in the four directions of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest respectively, trapping the male ghost who wanted to escape in the magic circle.
The golden light turned into sharp swords and pierced the male ghost's body. Only a shrill scream was heard, and the male ghost's body turned into black fragments in the golden light.
Finally, it disappeared without a trace.

"Master!" Yang Xiaoni heard footsteps at the door. She mustered up the courage to look up, and when she saw Jiang Ruan Ning coming out, she stood up excitedly.
"It's okay." Jiang Ruan Ning handed her the necklace, "He won't bother your sister again."
"Master, is he really gone?"
Yang Xiaowei was still trembling with fear, her face was still pale. Even though she had not seen the fighting in the house just now, the horrific roars still frightened her.
The man in my dream is handsome and romantic.
This is also the reason why she was attracted to the male ghost in the first place.
But when she went to the grove that day, she saw him appear, and he looked completely different from what she had seen in her dream.
She was so scared that she wanted to run away, but her body uncontrollably moved towards the coffin in the grave.
Thinking back to what happened that day, Yang Xiaowei couldn't help but shudder.
"Well, he won't appear again." Jiang Ruan Ning raised her eyes, looked at Yang Xiaowei's pale face, and said, "If you have nothing to do during this period, get some sun to get rid of the remaining negative energy in your body."
"besides."
She turned her gaze to Yang's father and mother, and said with a serious expression on her face: "This incident was not accidental. Your daughter got into this affair because of human factors."
Yang Xiaoni was stunned: "Master, what does this mean?"
Chen Shufen and Yang Zhiqiang also had puzzled expressions. When Yang Zhiqiang realized what was going on, his expression changed: "Human factors? Master, do you mean someone wants to harm Xiaowei?"
Jiang Ruan Ning didn't say it too directly, but just said: "Besides you, who else knows her birth date and horoscope? Someone took your daughter's birth date and horoscope, which led to this Yin peach blossom."
She stopped there and didn't reveal more.
After a few seconds, Chen Shufen's face suddenly darkened and she cursed angrily, "It was my third sister-in-law. It must have been my third sister-in-law who did it! She asked me once before, saying that there was someone in the village who wanted to arrange a ghost marriage and had set her eyes on Xiaowei from our family. She only needed to use her birth date and horoscope to arrange the marriage. She also said that the family was willing to give a betrothal gift of 200,000 yuan and asked if I was willing!"
"I scolded her and sent her away, but I didn't expect that she would not give up. She even secretly took Xiaowei's horoscope to match it!"
Except for Jiang Ruan Ning, everyone else had a look of shock on their faces.
Someone actually used Yang Xiaowei's birth date and horoscope to arrange a ghost marriage.
This person is actually their relative.
At this moment, Yang Xiaowei thought about what happened last time she returned home, and her body couldn't help but tremble again.
Yang Xiaowei was angry and sad. She clenched her fists and said, "No wonder she insisted on having me stay for dinner last time when I went to her house. There were a few strangers at the table and they kept staring at me while we were eating! After dinner, she gave me a skirt. It turns out she was targeting me at that time!"
"Damn Zhao Cuihua!" Chen Shufen gritted her teeth and said, "She almost killed my daughter for money. I will never forgive her!"
Yang Zhiqiang remained silent, but his facial expression was not good, and his face was ashen.
He knew that his third sister-in-law was the most greedy for money.
But they didn't expect that this time, for money, he would actually set his sights on their daughter.
Thinking about how Yang Xiaowei was already dying when she was rescued, and how the doctor said that if she was dug out half an hour later, she would probably be dead, Yang Zhiqiang clenched his fists, with anger in his eyes.
Jiang Ruan Ning watched the family's reactions quietly. When Chen Shufen had almost vented her anger, she said, "The matter has been resolved. I won't stay any longer."
"As for the reward, I'll give you 10,000. I can transfer it via WeChat."
In her previous life, Jiang Ruan Ning personally stepped in to solve such problems for people, and the starting fee was at least eight figures.
But times have changed.
Yang Xiaoni's family has an average income, so the price she offered was almost a symbolic payment.
When Yang Xiaoni heard the reward she offered, she breathed a sigh of relief. If it was ten thousand, they could still afford it, so she immediately logged into WeChat and transferred the money.
"Master, it's almost noon. Let's have lunch together." Yang Xiaoni looked at the time and it was almost time for lunch.
"Yes, Master, what do you like to eat? We will book a restaurant right away." Chen Shufen and Yang Zhiqiang's attitudes were completely different at this time. They were both polite to the girl in front of them who was decades younger than them.
Even with a hint of respect.
Jiang Ruan Ning shook her head: "No, I have something else to do."
After hearing what she said, the family had no choice but to keep her.
"Master, you saved Xiaowei. Our family is unable to repay this kindness. Please accept our family's greetings." Yang Zhiqiang leaned down and bowed deeply to Jiang Ruan Ning.
Chen Shufen also brought her two daughters and bowed to her to express their gratitude.
Jiang Ruan Ning did not step forward to stop him, but accepted the bow with peace of mind.
Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda and is a meritorious deed.
She deserved this respect.
Just as Yang Xiaoni and her family bowed to her to express their gratitude, wisps of golden light appeared above their heads. Jiang Ruan Ning felt a warmth between her brows, and all the golden light containing merit was absorbed into her body.
