Chapter 28: Needling a girl's head to ensure a boy in the next pregnancy.
"What's the problem?"
Mu Qing pressed for an answer, her voice trembling with anxiety.
Before Yun Shu could answer, the front door of the villa opened by itself with a bang, and gusts of cold wind rushed in, making everyone shiver.
"The door's open! Run!"
Yu Xiaojun immediately crawled out from under the table, forgetting all about his female companion Chen Yuan, and was the first to rush towards the door.
He ran into the yard and shouted at Mu Qing, "Mu Qing, open the gate so we can drive out!"
Others also rushed out.
As soon as they arrived at the parking spot, a woman dressed in tattered clothes and with a sorrowful expression emerged from beside Lu Shijing's car.
Her face was deathly pale. She grabbed Yu Xiaojun and asked, "My daughter is missing! My poor daughter! Have you seen her?"
Upon seeing the woman who had suddenly appeared, everyone else froze in place, staring at her in horror.
At that moment, two beams of golden light shone from the direction of the courtyard gate, enveloping the courtyard.
The exorcism talisman sensed a strong ghostly aura.
They glanced at the courtyard gate, only to find it tightly shut. Then they looked at the woman who was holding Yu Xiaojun, and a sense of dread washed over them.
The courtyard gate hadn't been opened at all. How did this woman get in? Could the daughter she's looking for be that little ghost girl from earlier?
Yu Xiaojun clearly realized this too, and he said with a shifty look in his eyes, "I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything! Go ask someone else!"
"You're lying!"
A chilling aura emanated from the woman's eyes, and her voice became shrill, "You saw it! You must have seen it! Where is my daughter?! Are you trying to harm her?!"
The woman suddenly grabbed Yu Xiaojun by the neck, her nails growing unusually long, and drew long, bloody scratches on Yu Xiaojun's neck, the blood flowing down and staining Yu Xiaojun's clothes red.
"No, I didn't! Help..."
Seeing the woman reveal her true form, her face twisted and sinister, Yu Xiaojun turned pale, her consciousness gradually blurred, and she unknowingly wet her pants in fright.
Then a golden light flashed before his eyes, and a talisman floated in front of him and landed on the female ghost's head.
The female ghost was instantly immobilized, and Yu Xiaojun was saved, collapsing to the ground and fainting.
Yun Shu held a paper doll in her hand and looked at her coldly, "Your daughter is here. If you don't want her soul to be scattered, then let the people here go."
"Okay, okay, but don't hurt my daughter!"
The female ghost sensed her daughter's presence, her eyes widened in panic, and tears of blood streamed down her face.
"No...don't hurt her, you can take me away. She's just being playful, that's why she came here."
Yun Shu frowned and said, "Your daughter has a lot of resentment on her. If this goes on for a long time, she might become a vengeful ghost and be unable to control her urge to kill."
"She died a terrible death, that's why she's like this. I'll watch over her, please let her go! I beg you!"
More and more blood and tears appeared on the female ghost's face.
"Her father wanted to have a son, but my womb was uncooperative, and I had several daughters. Her father somehow got hold of a folk remedy for having a son, saying that if you stick needles into the head of your previous daughter and make her die in pain, it will scare away the girl who will be reincarnated, and you will be able to have a son next time."
I was beaten to death by that beast for trying to stop him from harming my daughter. That beast later had another woman and had a child with her, and even had a Taoist priest put up talismans at our door. We couldn't get revenge, which is why our resentment has only grown stronger.
Hearing the female ghost's tearful lament, everyone present couldn't help but recall the little ghost's appearance, and suddenly felt that ghosts weren't so scary after all.
That beast is far more terrifying than those two ghosts!
Even tigers don't eat their cubs, yet he treated his own daughter like this just to have a son!
The female ghost looked at Yun Shu pleadingly, "From now on, I'll take my daughter deep into the mountains, far away from people, and I promise I won't harm anyone. Please let her go, please let her go..."
Yun Shu sighed and released the little ghost from the paper doll.
The little girl's death was far more terrifying than her mother's; her face was a bloody mess with many needle marks, and her head was stuck with many silver needles.
Terrified, she ran to the female ghost and hugged her leg, crying, "Mommy, Mommy."
"Baby, be good, Mommy's okay." The female ghost was immobilized by the talisman and could only comfort her softly.
When everyone saw the little ghost again, they were still startled, but they couldn't help feeling sorry for her.
"Yun Shu, you can catch ghosts, can you help them get revenge? This child's father is such a scoundrel!"
"That's right! He killed two people, how come he hasn't been arrested yet? Let's call the police and have him arrested!"
Yun Shu didn't answer. She was currently expelling the remaining ghostly energy from Yu Xiaojun and Chen Yuan's bodies. If these two really died in this villa, Mu Qing would be in trouble.
Lu Shijing tried calling the hospital again, and this time he was finally able to get through. The ambulance would be here to pick him up soon.
After Yun Shu rescued the people, a company executive walked up to her and said, "Yun Shu, I've watched your live stream. You can make paper offerings, and your skills are excellent. Why don't you burn some offerings for this mother and daughter? I'll pay for it."
Then another person came over and said, "I'll contribute too, to burn more good things for them. Alas, the most terrifying thing in this world isn't ghosts, but the human heart!"
Everyone felt sorry for the little ghost girl and stepped forward to offer to help them financially.
The female ghost was frozen in place, staring in shock at these people. She never expected that these complete strangers would not only disregard their behavior but also crowdfund to send them things.
It turns out there are still good people in this world.
Her blood and tears gradually disappeared, and two clear tears involuntarily fell from her eyes. The resentment on her body also faded a little.
Seeing the people surrounding her, Yun Shu said, "I will help them, don't worry. As for the gifts you want to give, you can transfer the money to Mu Qing first, and Mu Qing will transfer it to me in bulk. Then I will go and buy materials to make paper offerings for them."
No one objected, and they transferred the money to Mu Qing on the spot. After Mu Qing finished tallying it up, the total amount transferred to Yun Shu was as high as 500,000.
The bulk of the money came from Lu Shijing, who gave 300,000 yuan. The others present were also from wealthy families and were generous, each giving several thousand or tens of thousands of yuan.
Yun Shu removed the talisman from the female ghost's head, then burned the paper doll for the little female ghost, who then had a semi-transparent doll in her hand.
She timidly hid beside the female ghost, cautiously looking at Yun Shu, "Thank you, sister."
"You're welcome."
Yun Shu turned to the female ghost and asked, "Where does that beast live?" She wanted to go and see what kind of fellow practitioners would dare to help such scum.
"I'll take you there."
The female ghost's home is in a small village next to Fuli Village. They were originally wandering on the road when the little female ghost saw Lu Shijing driving by and was attracted to it. The female ghost came to find her daughter.
However, after Fuli Village was transformed into a resort, it takes a long detour to get to the neighboring village.
Lu Shijing told Mu Qing to stay at the villa and wait for the ambulance to arrive, then he said to Yun Shu, "I'll drive you there."
Yun Shu: "Okay."
Before long, they arrived at the neighboring village. It was midnight, the night was dark, and the village was silent.
The female ghost led them to the front door, where there were two bright yellow talismans. On the wall next to the door hung a peach wood sword and a string of garlic.
Just as Yun Shu was about to step forward and pull these things down, a scream came from the house, "Ah, it hurts! My water broke! I'm going into labor!"
Then came the man's excited voice, "It's finally going to be born! I'm going to have a son!"
