Chapter 278: Gains and Losses
Mr. Yan's wife couldn't help crying softly at the end, which shows that Mr. Yan's condition was very serious at this time.
Mr. Liu's face changed slightly and he looked at Duanrao for help.
"Fortunately, you arrived in time and can still be saved. As long as you cut off the connection between you and send the child away, the negative energy that Mr. Yan has contracted will gradually dissipate. After that, get more sun and eat more good foods to nourish your body and you will recover."
"...cut off the connection between us?" Ms. Qi's face was pale and her body was shaking a little.
Mrs. Yan on the other end of the phone seemed to have heard what they were saying and asked in confusion.
Mr. Liu didn't know how to explain more to her at the moment. He simply comforted her with a few words, hung up the phone, and walked forward to hold his wife's slightly trembling hand.
"What you mean by severing the relationship between this child and us is..."
"This child is your closest relative. He was made into a ghost by Uncle Liu's brother to boost your fortunes. Now he is used to do this kind of evil thing that harms people's lives. The resentment and evil spirit in the ghost are already at a critical point. If you continue to let it go like this, when the resentment and evil spirit in it completely devour its sanity, it will turn around and attack you and your wife."
Duanrao had mentioned this to them before, and the two nodded in understanding.
"The best way now is to awaken its mind as soon as possible, and let it realize that the person who made it like this is not its biological parent, but someone else, so as to eliminate its resentment and let it be free. But conversely, if you want to awaken its mind, you must first sever the relationship of support between you two. The reason why your brother was able to raise this little ghost before was because of the blood connection between you..."
"So, once you've dealt with this matter, it will have nothing to do with us anymore?"
"Strictly speaking, that's true."
Ms. Qi stared at the things in the wooden box for a long time. Finally, she couldn't help it. She turned her head and hid in her husband's arms, crying silently.
Mr. Liu's eyes also turned red, and he tilted his head back, trying hard not to let the tears fall.
"Besides that, there's another problem."
"What's the problem?"
"The purpose of raising this little ghost is to increase your fortune. It cuts off the connection between you and sends it away. Your fortune will also be affected, and may even backfire and cause some business crises."
Where there is gain, there is loss. Many things in this world have already been priced. If you want to get them, you have to pay the price.
Mr. Liu's younger brother and his family are planning to put the price on Mr. Liu and his wife so that they can get something for nothing. And now Duanrao wants to change this cause and effect.
The little ghost's resentment was transferred back to his younger brother's family, but it was also a fact that Mr. and Mrs. Liu had gained some wealth over the years because of the little ghost. Even if the threat to their life was resolved, some things still had to be paid back.
The couple was very calm when they heard her say that. Compared to severing their blood relationship with the child, this little thing really didn't affect them.
"We both feel uncomfortable holding the money earned by this child through hard work. We are both capable and can earn the money back bit by bit even if we go bankrupt. We owe this child a debt in the first place. We, as parents, failed to protect him. If we cannot repay him in this life, we only hope that we will have a chance to compensate him in the next life."
Du Anrao also breathed a sigh of relief. There were not many people who could remain calm in the face of interests. If these two people were still thinking about those trivial matters at this time, although she would not stand by and watch them die, she would still feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Fortunately, the two of them are consistent in their words and deeds, and they really love the child as they show.
"In that case, just do as I said just now. Send the child away first, and then exchange your two destinies."
Ms. Qi didn't say anything. She just walked forward with tears in her eyes and touched the little guy in the box. Tears slid down her cheeks, hit the little guy's head, and disappeared in the black mass in the blink of an eye.
Everyone present was silent as they watched this scene. No one would disturb a mother saying her final goodbyes to her child at this time.
After a few breaths, Ms. Qi wiped the tears from her face and stood up again, her eyes more determined than ever before.
"Thank you."
Du Anrao nodded. One of her morning tasks on the mountain was to liberate the souls of the wronged. This little ghost had not yet had the chance to be stained with blood. Although it had some resentment, it was far from the level of hatred. It was not a difficult evil ghost, and it would be much easier to liberate him.
As she closed her eyes and recited scriptures, strings of golden runes invisible to the naked eye flowed into the black body of the little ghost, breaking through the black miasma and wrapping up its small body bit by bit.
After a moment, a small figure shrouded in a faint golden light finally tore open the inky shell that tightly bound it and floated out of the box.
Du Anrao opened his eyes as if aware of something, and what he saw was the shadow of a chubby child. Under the sunlight outside, he couldn't see clearly, but he could still feel that it was a very pretty and cute child. If Mr. and Mrs. Liu's child had been born, he would probably look like this.
Du Anrao stared at the shadow for a long time, took a deep breath, pointed at Ms. Qi and the other person and said, "Did you see that? They are your biological parents, and they have always loved you. It's just that you were not destined to be together, and because of the evil people, you were not able to become a real family in the end. It's not your fault, and it's not their fault either."
The child's amber eyes rolled around, looking at the two of them with a little curiosity.
The moment Duan Rao opened her mouth, Ms. Qi suddenly realized something and her whole body froze. After she finished speaking, she could no longer suppress her excitement and trembled as she said, "He's here, right? My poor child, he's here now, right?"
"Baby, I'm your mother. I'm sorry for you. I didn't protect you well. I didn't know you were so close to me all these years, and I made you suffer so much..."
Ms. Qi couldn't help crying again at the end of her speech, but Du Anrao noticed that the baby's body was becoming more and more transparent.
It is originally a dead wandering soul and cannot stay in the mortal world for too long. Before, it was because of that body that served as a cover, temporarily concealing the secret.
Now that it has gotten rid of that body, it has been liberated but has also lost the reason to stay.
"Go with peace of mind. They will be fine, and the bad guys who harmed you will get their comeuppance soon."
I don't know if the little baby understood or not. It stared at the two people who were hugging each other and supporting each other. Suddenly, it smiled, floated slowly in front of the two people, reached out and touched Mr. Liu's shoulder, then pushed down hard, and leaned over to kiss Ms. Qi on the forehead.
