"Xiao Meng, are you okay?" Gu Mingtai walked up to her and asked with concern.
"It's okay. What about you here? Have you noticed anything?" As soon as they came in, the two of them split up into two groups. He checked outside to see if there was anything unusual around Zhang Yawen's house.
"It seems that our guess was correct. These people did not die of natural causes."
"Are you Zhang Meng?" Wu Runfa suddenly changed his previous fear and ran to Zhang Meng with excitement to ask.
"Do you know me?" After asking, Zhang Meng looked at Wu Runfa seriously and found that she seemed to have no impression of him at all.
"Of course I know you, but you don't know me. I heard about you from a friend of mine. I was planning to visit you at your house in a couple of days, but I didn't expect that we would meet here first."
After he said that, Zhang Meng thought about whether anyone wanted to come to see her recently. Thinking back, she remembered that last time when she was at the x-alias organization, He Liu seemed to have mentioned that he wanted to bring people to buy her talisman paper.
"Could the friend you're talking about be He Liu?"
"Yes, yes, it's him. He and I are good brothers and grew up together. But that guy is luckier than me. He got into that place. Unlike me, I can only rely on my little skills to earn some food around." Wu Runfa looked embarrassed.
"Since you are friends with He Liu, you are also my friend. I advise you to stay out of this matter. You can't control it."
Wu Runfa immediately nodded and agreed, "Okay, I understand, I'll leave now."
"Wait a minute, don't leave the money here, otherwise you will really be in trouble." Zhang Meng quickly called him.
Wu Runfa stopped and quickly took out two dollars from his pocket and stuffed it into the hand of Zhang Yawen who had just entered.
"This, this, what's going on?" Zhang Yawen, who had just come in, stared blankly at Wu Runfa who was fleeing in panic.
"Oh, he asked me to tell you that he had to go back home for something."
"But my wife's funeral hasn't been completed yet, why did he go back?" Zhang Yawen grabbed his hair anxiously.
"Brother Yawen, I forgot to tell you, this guy is my boyfriend. He's in the same industry as Taoist Wu. If you trust him, you can ask him to continue helping you."
Gu Mingtai, who was named by Zhang Meng, looked at her and raised his eyebrows.
Zhang Meng winked at him ingratiatingly. Gu Mingtai gave her a look that said he'd deal with her later, then looked at Zhang Yawen. "Yes, I do this too. I can help you."
Zhang Yawen was delighted at first, but then he looked at them both with a troubled expression. "I don't know, I don't know how much you charge here? I don't have much money at home, only a few dollars left. I wonder if it's enough?"
"We don't charge any money, we'll help you for free." Zhang Meng said with a smile.
Zhang Yawen was stunned. He looked at the two of them in disbelief and stammered to confirm again, "You really don't charge?"
There are actually such good things in this world.
"Yes, we won't charge you any money. Since Brother Yawen and my grandmother's family are neighbors, we won't charge you any money. You can keep this money to nourish your two children."
In fact, the meaning behind this is what Zhang Yawen's wife wants to say to the relatives in this family.
Zhang Yawen immediately burst into tears. A grown man, he cried like a woman, loudly and noisily.
"You are such kind people. I thank you for your kindness on behalf of my two children."
Gu Mingtai's face looked a little sour. It was so embarrassing for a grown man like him to watch his own kind crying like a woman.
"Stop crying. You're crying like a woman in front of a man. You're embarrassing us men. There's an unwritten rule before I perform the ritual here. Family members must stay away. Take your two children and leave."
Zhang Yawen had no objection and quickly left the mourning hall with his two children who were burning paper money for their mother.
"Don't chase them. If you don't want to bring disaster to your family, be honest and don't get close to them."
When Zhang Yawen's wife chased out, Gu Mingtai reminded her with a cold expression.
Zhang Yawen shed tears of blood and looked at Zhao Yuan's family members walking away outside with reluctance.
"I know you didn't hang yourself. Tell us what you felt was different about yourself before you died."
Zhang Yawen's wife, wiping away tears, suddenly became emotional. "I remember now. Before I died, I went back to my parents' home. On the way past my parents' home, there was a temple where a woman was delivering water. I drank a glass of water there, and after I came back, I felt light all over. I didn't think much of it at the time, but I never thought that this carelessness would cost me my life."
"A woman? Do you know that woman?" Zhang Meng asked.
Zhang Yawen's wife shook her head and said, "I don't know her. I've never seen that woman."
"You dare to drink her water without even meeting that woman. It seems you are quite brave." Gu Mingtai looked at her and smiled coldly.
Zhang Yawen's wife cried even harder after hearing what she said.
Zhang Meng secretly pulled the corner of Gu Mingtai's clothes, motioning him to talk aside.
The two walked to a corner of the mourning hall.
"Gu Mingtai, do you think she was harmed by a ghost?"
Gu Mingtai shook his head with a solemn expression on his face, "No, someone is using unborn babies to practice evil cultivation."
Seeing her confusion, Gu Mingtai explained, "I read in a book my master gave me a sinister method of using infants for evil cultivation. It's said that if you take nine babies fresh out of their mothers' wombs, drain their blood, and then use that blood to form a formation to restore childhood, that person will become at least fifty years younger."
After hearing this, Zhang Meng was completely stunned.
"Oh my god, there is actually such an evil method in this world. Doesn't that mean this person will never grow old?"
"Of course, they will grow old. But every fifty years, that person will once again use his nine unborn children to continue practicing that evil method."
Zhang Meng suddenly grabbed Gu Mingtai's arm and said nervously, "Gu Mingtai, you just said you wanted to use nine unborn children. According to my grandmother, five pregnant women have died. Does that mean four more will die?"
Gu Mingtai touched his chin and nodded, "If that person is practicing the evil method I mentioned, then it should be correct."
Thinking of four more poor children being taken away before they were even born, Zhang Meng anxiously grabbed Gu Mingtai's arm and said, "Gu Mingtai, please think of a solution quickly. We must stop that psychopath and not let her harm those poor children anymore."
