Chapter 30: Lend Your Good News
"It's been five hours since we lost our child." Xiao Xue wiped her tears and burst into tears. "With the current convenient transportation, my child could have been anywhere. It's my fault. I shouldn't have stayed out of anger today and let my mother-in-law take the child out alone. It's all my fault."
Xia Wange stared at Xiao Xue's face for a long time through the reflection in the glass.
"Did your mother-in-law say something today that's why you don't take your child out?"
Xiao Xue said, "My mother-in-law said today that my milk supply is not good, that the baby is always hungry, and that he is much smaller than others. I said that I wake up every night to feed the baby, and that I don't get enough rest. If it's not enough, I'll feed him with formula."
"My mother-in-law disagreed, but later she told me to catch up on my sleep at home while she went out to the park to take the baby for a walk. I was too sleepy, and I had been taking care of the baby all morning, so I agreed."
At this point, Xiao Xue burst into tears. "She usually takes the baby out alone, but today, an old man suddenly fell in front of her. She was startled and her eyes were drawn to the child. When she turned around, she found that the child had been taken away! We saw the surveillance video. It was a short woman in red clothes who took the child away. It's all my fault. It's all my fault!"
Xia Wange looked ahead, his eyes dark, and asked softly, "Daughter?"
"Yes, I gave birth to a baby girl. She is very cute. She will laugh when you tease her, and she has two dimples when she laughs." Xiao Xue had already cried her eyes out.
Xia Wange said in a cold voice: "Did your mother-in-law always urge you to have a second child?"
Hearing this, the other party sighed, "My mother-in-law always said that fortunately I had a natural birth and could have a second child soon. I got angry and said that we agreed to have only one child and I would take care of the baby every night. I didn't want to go through it again. She would say that not having a son would mean the end of the family line. At this time, my husband would also talk to her and say that there was no throne to inherit in our family, so there was no need to have a son, and a daughter would be enough. Then my mother-in-law would go back to her room angrily and sulk, but she would be fine after a while and continue to help us. My mother-in-law is a very good person, but she has a bad mouth. She is also hardworking and has helped us a lot."
Hearing this, Lu Qiu glanced at Xia Wange, only to see that the other person's face was frighteningly cold. He had some vague guesses in his mind.
Feeling that Xia Wange was secretly angry, Lu Qiu changed the subject and asked, "Does the method you use have a name?"
After a moment, Xia Wange opened his eyes and said, "This method is called the Rope (God) Leading Incense."
The driver, Xiao Liu, also spoke up at the right time, "Um, Master Xia, is this considered confidential? I'm just a little curious about how the talisman paper just now caught fire by itself."
"White phosphorus was used." Xia Wange said.
"Ah? White phosphorus?" Driver Xiao Liu was shocked. "Then the whole thing in the bowl is burning because of the white phosphorus?"
"Because of alcohol." Xia Wange said as a matter of course.
Immediately, driver Xiao Liu's voice rose two or three degrees, "Alcohol?!"
"Yes." After the car got off the highway, Xia Wange saw that the smoke had become shorter and the speed had increased a lot. "Pull over, I'll drive."
After saying this, she added, "Don't always be superstitious at such a young age. Believe in science. Lighting a fire with bare hands is something that gods can do."
Xiao Liu moved to the back seat and looked at the constantly changing cigarettes and held his breath.
You are like this, and you tell me not to be feudal and superstitious?!
Huh? Who would believe that? My worldview has changed, and you want me to change it back?!
After a few people made some jokes, Xiao Xue's originally heavy mood eased a little. However, as Xia Wange drove the car through the narrow alleys in the countryside without slowing down at all, her heart involuntarily rose again.
"Xiao Xue, open the navigation and see what the village in the southwest is called." Xia Wange ordered.
Xiao Xue immediately opened the navigation and took a look. "It's called Chenjia Village. Chenjia Village... My mother-in-law's hometown seems to be called Chenjia Village as well. I've been there once during the day."
"I called 120 and they said a three-month-old baby in Chenjia Village was almost out of breath and needed emergency treatment."
Xiao Xue's heart suddenly jumped into her throat. With trembling hands, she quickly dialed 120. Following Xia Wange's instructions, after she finished speaking, she fell into her seat as if she had lost her strength. She didn't dare to think about anything or ask anything.
After a moment, she looked at the farmers passing by the window from time to time, and said blankly: "Master, am I hallucinating? I always feel like I have been to this place before."
Xia Wange took a puff of the incense and held it between her fingers. She drove and said, "How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Chenjia Village is the Chenjia Village you have been to."
In an instant, Xiao Xue's eyes widened and her breathing became rapid. She turned around and leaned against the glass window, staring outside until she saw many of the houses that she had seen flash by when she came here during the day.
Suddenly, she clenched her fists and broke down crying, "Chenjia Village! It's Chenjia Village! What a Chenjia Village! Hahahaha, hahaha, it's actually like this! I usually buy her this and that just for fear of mistreating her! I give her money every month just for fear that she will be dissatisfied, and the result is like this! It's actually like this! I'm so stupid! I'm so stupid!"
"We're here." Xia Wange stopped the car and said softly.
Xiao Xue immediately stopped crying, wiped away her tears, and her eyes were full of determination.
Xiao Liu got out of the car. Lu Qiu looked at the wheelchair, then at the somewhat rugged road ahead, and shook his head, saying, "I'm not going. I'll wait for you in the car."
"You have to go." Xia Wange said solemnly, "You are very important."
After that, Xia Wange pushed the wheelchair forward according to Xiang's instructions and ordered, "Xiao Liu, carry him."
"Okay." Xiao Liu immediately carried Lu Qiu on his back and followed him without asking about his employer.
Lu Qiu looked at Xia Wange who was pushing the empty wheelchair, pursed his lips and said no more.
Finally, they stopped in front of a dry well. There was a heavy iron cover on the well. The surrounding area was covered with dust, but there was not much dust on the cover. It was obvious that it was added later.
Xiao Xue completely collapsed and rushed forward to open the lid, but Xia Wange held the lid down and said to Lu Qiu, who had moved to a wheelchair, "You come."
Lu Qiu was slightly startled, nodded and held the lid with both hands.
"Think about something good." Xia Wange held the other side of the lid and said to Lu Qiu.
Lu Qiu looked at Xia Wange and said softly, "She will definitely be able to overcome the danger and have a smooth future."
Xia Wange showed her first sincere smile of the night, "I'll give you my good wishes."
