Chapter 410 The Coward's Black Moonlight Witch 41
The next morning, He Baifeng found Tan Shuai and said seriously, "I can't teach you anymore. Let your mother take you away later."
Tan Shuai was delighted, but he still asked, "Why?"
He Baifeng replied: "I have decided to retire."
After saying that, He Baifeng turned around and walked into the house, picked up the phone and dialed Wang Yaling's number.
The phone rang only twice before it was quickly connected.
Just as He Baifeng was about to speak, Wang Yaling's happy and anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mom, I just happened to have something to tell you, so you called me."
He Baifeng frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
There was a hint of excitement in Wang Yaling's voice. "It's hard to explain over the phone. I'll tell you when I get back."
He Baifeng thought that she would ask Wang Yaling to come back to pick up the child, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then you can come back."
It was already noon when Wang Yaling rushed back to her hometown. As soon as she entered the house, she smiled brightly at He Baifeng. "Mom, let me tell you, the director of the Market Supervision Bureau is surnamed Sun. I've made inquiries. His son has been in a coma for three days and has been bedridden. Many doctors have been able to find out the cause."
Chu Bojian frowned. How could this symptom be exactly the same as Xu Peng's before his death?
He Baifeng asked in confusion: "Why are you telling me this?"
Wang Yaling said anxiously, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If you can cure his son, Director Sun will definitely look at us differently..."
He Baifeng interrupted Wang Yaling and said firmly, "I can't help you. I have decided to retire."
Wang Yaling was a little anxious. "Why can't you help? Don't you always have a way to solve these strange diseases? Why don't you go and take a look? Tan Zhidong and I's storefront has been closed, and our business is almost closed down. As long as you help Director Sun, we can reopen."
He Baifeng looked at Wang Yaling. In just one month, a few strands of white hair had appeared in her hair.
But when she thought of Shen Xinran, she hardened her heart and said, "I can't help you. Go back and take Tan Shuai with you."
Unexpectedly, Wang Yaling knelt down in front of her, her voice choked with sobs, "Mom, please just help me. I've been in trouble one after another recently. Some people are urging us to ship goods, and some are urging us to pay back the money. If this continues, we will have no choice but to sell the house..."
He Baifeng listened to Wang Yaling's crying and softened her heart. She returned to the room, opened the cabinet where the talisman papers were kept, and took out a piece of talisman paper. "This is the last one. Take it."
He Baifeng did not lie, this was indeed the last painting by Shen Xinran.
Wang Yaling didn't notice anything was wrong with He Baifeng, she just smiled from ear to ear, "Mom, I knew you still care about me."
After watching Wang Yaling put the talisman into her bag, He Baifeng asked her, "Have you eaten yet? Do you want to eat something together?"
Wang Yaling hadn't eaten anything since morning, and now she felt a little hungry, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
While Wang Yaling and He Baifeng went to the kitchen, Shen Xinran set his sights on Wang Yaling's bag.
Chu Bojian guessed what Shen Xinran wanted to do, and stood up directly, blocking Tan Shuai's sight.
Shen Xinran returned to the room first, found a talisman that He Baifeng had drawn earlier on the bedside, and then used this talisman to replace her own talisman.
After finishing all this, Shen Xinran smiled at Chu Bojian, then turned his back to everyone and tore off the talisman he had drawn with his own hands.
Humph, if you want to use her things, no way!
After lunch, Wang Yaling hurried away with Tan Shuai, while Chu Bojian went directly to Xu Peng's house.
Xu Peng was the eldest son in the family, with two younger sisters and a younger brother. His sudden death in the prime of his youth was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the family.
When Chu Bojian arrived at the Xu family, the entire family was still shrouded in grief.
Xu Peng's portrait was placed in the middle, with smoke curling from the incense burner in front of him and a few candles flickering with faint light.
Xu Peng's bright smile in the portrait forms a sharp contrast with the sad atmosphere around him.
Xu Peng's relatives were either sitting or standing, with tears on everyone's face. Their eyes were empty and blank, as if they were unable to accept this cruel reality.
The old man in the family sat in the corner, wiping tears from the corners of his eyes with trembling hands from time to time, muttering to himself, as if calling Xu Peng's name.
Chu Bojian found Xu Peng's mother and whispered, "Auntie, I'm Xu Peng's classmate. I'm here to burn some incense for him."
Mother Xu's eyes were filled with tears. "It's really amazing that you still remember him."
Chu Bojian followed behind Mother Xu and lit three incense sticks in front of Xu Peng. Then he asked Mother Xu, "How did Xu Peng leave?"
Mother Xu's eyes were dry. "At first, he was just a little sleepy, but then he kept sleeping longer and longer, and we couldn't wake him up. We took him to the hospital, but they couldn't do anything."
Chu Bojian nodded and asked, "Are Xu Peng's belongings still there? I remember he had a tattoo sticker. I want to see it."
Mother Xu nodded, her eyes soft. "It's all over there. His father said to burn it, but I can't bear to do that. I have to wait until the seventh day before burning it!"
Chu Bojian walked to the corner and searched through Xu Peng's belongings until he finally found the tattoo. He smiled and said, "Can I take this back as a souvenir?"
Mother Xu nodded and said, "You can take it. See if there is anything else you like. As long as you don't mind, you can take it."
Chu Bojian shook his head: "No more, just this."
After Chu Bojian came back, he immediately found Shen Xinran and asked, "Do you think there is anything wrong with this tattoo?"
Shen Xinran took a casual glance and immediately noticed something was wrong. Her expression became serious, "Where did this come from?"
Chu Bojian replied, "Remember Xu Peng from our class? He passed away a few days ago, and he had this tattoo on his arm."
Shen Xinran nodded, his tone serious, "This tattoo sticker is outlined with a talisman pen and contains a formation that can absorb a person's essence."
Chu Bojian's eyes widened, and he felt a wave of fear in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't apply the tattoo at that time. He didn't know who made this tattoo. It was really unscrupulous!
Wang Yaling returned to the city exhausted. As soon as she entered the house, she couldn't wait to hand the talisman given by He Baifeng to Tan Zhidong. "This is my mother's gift. She said to boil it and turn it into water and drink it directly."
Without asking any questions, Tan Zhidong immediately took the talisman to Director Sun's house, while Wang Yaling waited anxiously at home.
Time passed minute by minute, and Tan Zhidong finally came back. Wang Yaling hurried forward and asked, "What happened?"
Tan Zhidong shook his head and sighed: "It's useless."
Wang Yaling looked anxious, "How could it be useless?"
