Chapter 382 The Coward's Black Moonlight Witch 13
Chu Bojian was about to reach out his hand, but Shen Xinran took it back, "But you have to pay me back first."
Chu Bojian glanced back and forth between the amulet and Shen Xinran. With the mentality of trying everything possible, he nodded, "Okay."
After saying that, he handed the money that He Baifeng had given him during this period to Shen Xinran, "A total of forty, not a cent less."
Shen Xinran took the money in one hand and delivered the goods in the other, "If this doesn't work, you can contact me for after-sales service."
Chu Bojian looked at Shen Xinran's serious expression and shook his head. "You silly girl, do you know what after-sales service means?"
Then, he chuckled. He was really crazy to believe that Silly Girl could help him.
As night fell, Chu Bojian curled up in bed, his heart pounding like a drum, not daring to sleep at all.
But people have three urgent needs, and when the feeling comes, they can't be stopped.
He carefully pushed aside the quilt, and like a vigilant little animal, he pricked up his ears to catch every sound in the room.
After making sure that everything was quiet, he dared to tiptoe out of the room.
Standing in the corridor, Chu Bojian looked around and confirmed that there was no one and no ghost. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the toilet with confidence.
But just as he turned around, a deep male voice suddenly came from behind him, "Are you looking for me?"
This sudden sound was particularly harsh in the silent night, causing Chu Bojian's heart to skip a beat and fear to spread throughout his body like an electric current.
He instinctively reached out and tightly grasped the amulet that Shen Xinran gave him.
Erniu had been dead for thirty years. He was too bored and wanted to play a prank again, but he didn't expect that as soon as he approached Chu Bojian, he was bounced away by a ray of light emitted by the amulet.
He somersaulted in mid-air, feeling surprised and scared. How come young people nowadays are so powerful!
Chu Bojian was also stunned. He looked at Erniu being flung away and could hardly believe his eyes.
Here, Shen Xinran was about to go to bed when she saw the light bulb open its eyes. She looked surprised and said, "You finally woke up!"
Chu Bojian: “…”
No, he finally fell asleep. Congratulations, the amulet actually worked, allowing him to sleep peacefully.
Thinking of this, Chu Bojian looked at Shen Xinran with a hint of admiration.
But at the same time, he also felt a little doubt about He Baifeng's words in his heart.
Even Silly Girl is so powerful. As her grandmother, He Baifeng must be more powerful than Silly Girl.
But why did He Baifeng say today that there are no ghosts in the world? Is she pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?
At the same time, two Taoist priests, one old and one young, came from Daqian Village. They were wearing traditional Taoist robes, holding old-fashioned compasses and magical instruments, and stopped at the door of Chen's house.
A trace of regret flashed in the eyes of the young Taoist priest, "Master, it seems that the Nine Ghost Cats have escaped."
The old Taoist nodded slightly, his face calm, "It's better to run away. At least the owner of this house won't be in fear anymore."
The young Taoist priest still felt a little unwilling. He sighed and said softly, "What a pity! If we catch the Nine Ghost Cats, not only can we open our Yin Eyes, but we can also save our lives."
The old Taoist priest slowly shook his head: "It's not a pity. Everything in the world has its destiny. It's just that we are not destined to be together. Forcing it is useless. Letting nature take its course is the way of cultivation."
After hearing this, the young Taoist nodded thoughtfully. "So where are we going now?"
The old Taoist priest said in a deep voice: "I calculated that your uncle is in the east. Let's continue to go east and see if we can stop him from changing his fate."
The two continued to move forward, their figures gradually disappearing in the morning mist at the entrance of the village, leaving behind only their faint footprints and the melodious sound of Taoist bells.
…
The footsteps of the high school entrance examination are becoming clearer as the Dragon Boat Festival approaches. The tense atmosphere of the examination has not yet completely dissipated, and the results will be announced in less than half a month.
The admission rate in the town was not high. Only ten out of two hundred candidates were admitted to high school, and Chu Bojian happened to be the tenth.
The teachers and classmates all said that Chu Bojian’s ancestors were very happy because according to his usual grades, he was at most in the top 50 in the grade.
Shen Xinran knew that he hadn't finished many questions during the exam, so he had no hope at all for this exam.
But He Baifeng didn't think so. After returning from school, she patted Shen Xinran's hand and smiled gently, "Don't worry, Niuniu, grandma will definitely let you go to high school."
Shen Xinran frowned slightly. In fact, she didn't really want to study.
He Baifeng took out her old phone and dialed a number. A woman's voice soon came from the other end of the line, "Mom, what's going on?"
Shen Xinran knew that the person on the other end of the phone was Wang Yaling, He Baifeng's only daughter and Tan Shi's mother.
Wang Yaling rarely went home, and this was the first time He Baifeng had contacted her. "Niuniu has finished her high school entrance exams, so I'm planning to bring her to your place for a couple of days."
Before Wang Yaling on the other end of the phone could react, a male voice suddenly interrupted: "Mom, why did you come here? Are you out of money? I'll call you directly!"
He Baifeng's tone was filled with a hint of displeasure. "Why? Don't you welcome me? It's been a long time since you came back. I didn't come to see you again. I thought my daughter was gone."
There was an awkward silence on the other end of the phone, and finally Wang Yaling broke the silence: "Mom, if you want to come over, come over. I'll buy you a ticket."
He Baifeng said firmly: "No need, I will buy my own ticket and come up. You can pick me up at the station tomorrow morning."
Wang Yaling asked in surprise: "Tomorrow? How come so soon?"
He Baifeng didn't explain much, but just said lightly: "I'm so old, I've seen everything, so you don't have to worry about this."
After saying that, He Baifeng hung up the phone and turned to look at Shen Xinran, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, "Niuniu, grandma will take you to the city to find your parents tomorrow!"
Shen Xinran looked towards the chicken coop and asked, "What will happen to the chicks if we leave?"
He Baifeng smiled and said, "We can ask Aunt Sun to help us feed it for a few days."
Shen Xinran nodded and asked, "Can I bring the light bulb? It sleeps during the day and wakes up at night. I'm worried that Aunt Sun won't have time to find food for it at night."
He Baifeng smiled and nodded, "Of course."
…
Dawn had just broken, and Shen Xinran was still wandering in sleep when he was gently awakened by He Baifeng's voice, "Niuniu, we have to catch the bus today, so we have to get up early."
Chen Xinran rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up from the bed. From the time he put on his clothes to the time he followed He Baifeng out, he was in a state of half sleep and half wakefulness.
They first took a tricycle to the county seat, then took a bus to the city. When they finally arrived at the city bus station, it was almost noon.
This year was the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. As an important hub connecting various places, the station was crowded with people and bustling with activity.
As soon as Shen Xinran got off the car, he saw a slogan on the wall: "Unite as one, forge ahead, and write a new chapter in the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!"
