Chu Runrun was hugged so tightly by Ning Xuan that her little face turned red.
"Pretty brother, can you...can you loosen up a little? I can't breathe!"
Han Lixue quickly pulled her son's hand away a little and rescued the little girl.
"Son, do you like this little sister?" Han Lixue asked.
Even though Ning Xuan let go of Chu Ruanruan, he still held her tightly.
"I feel comfortable being close to her!"
Ning Xuan was very frugal with words, but Han Lixue understood what her son meant.
"You mean you feel comfortable being near her?"
Ning Xuan nodded and raised his face, and the rare blush on his face confirmed that what Ning Xuan said was true.
Han Lixue was stunned for a second before quickly shouting, "Doctor, Doctor Li, come here quickly!"
The accompanying doctor hurried over with a medical kit to examine Ning Xuan.
"Strange! The young master seems to be in much better health, even his breathing is much steadier!" Doctor Li said in surprise.
Han Lixue almost cried for joy when she heard this. After so many years, she finally heard good news about her son.
"Little girl, what's your name?" Han Lixue asked Chu Runrun hurriedly.
"Beautiful auntie, my name is Chu Runrun!" Chu Runrun said timidly.
"Chu Ruanruan, your last name is Chu?" Han Lixue asked in surprise.
Ten years ago, Ning Xuan was seriously ill and even the hospital issued a critical illness notice. When they were about to lose their son Ning Xuan, an old Taoist priest in a gray cloth gown passed by their door and said that there was a way to save Ning Xuan's life.
Originally, they were trying their best to save Ning Xuan, but who would have thought that the old Taoist priest really saved Ning Xuan. Although Ning Xuan was still weak, his life was no longer in danger.
They wanted to repay the old Taoist priest, but he left after saving the man, leaving behind only a sentence: Do more good deeds and you will be rewarded.
It was also from then on that the couple became keen on public welfare and poverty alleviation. They did not expect that this blessing would come suddenly.
"Child, what's your grandfather's name?" Han Lixue asked hurriedly.
"My grandfather's name is Chu Yi!"
Hearing this name, Han Lixue finally confirmed that Chu Runrun was the granddaughter of the old Taoist priest who saved Ning Xuan that year!
"Beautiful aunt, do you know my grandfather? He passed away suddenly last year and I can't find him!" Chu Runrun lowered her head in disappointment.
"Your grandfather is gone! What about your parents?" Han Lixue asked hurriedly.
Chu Ruanruan shook her head: "I don't have a father or a mother. Grandpa said they went to live in heaven!"
Han Lixue was stunned for a moment, then looked at the dirty and ill-fitting clothes on Chu Ruanruan, and a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes.
How did a seven-year-old child survive for a year without adult care?
"I'm sorry! Little girl, I don't know where your grandfather has gone!" Han Lixue said guiltily.
"It doesn't matter! Anyway... I'm used to it!" Chu Runrun lowered her head, her little face full of sadness.
Ning Xuan looked at Chu Runrun. He now had only one thought, he wanted to take this dirty little girl back home, wash her clean and then hold her in his arms.
"Mom, her grandfather is gone and she has no parents. She is an orphan. Can I take her back?" Ning Xuan asked.
Han Lixue was overjoyed and quickly said, "Of course! But you have to ask your sister if she agrees."
Ning Xuan looked down at Chu Ruanruan again: "Do you want to go back with me? I can give you a beautiful dress and lots of toys!"
Chu Ruanruan raised her head and looked at Ning Xuan timidly and asked, "Can I eat the clean chicken drumstick?"
Chu Ruanruan's words made Ning Xuan feel even more distressed: "Come back with me, and you can eat as much chicken as you want!"
"Can I eat with Dahei?"
Chu Ruanruan looked at Ning Xuan pleadingly, and Ning Xuan couldn't bear to say no.
"Of course! You can eat with whomever you want! But... who is Daihei?"
Chu Ruanruan immediately waved to the distance: "Dahei, come here!"
The big black dog ran over immediately after hearing the call, and rushed to Chu Ruanruan, wagging its tail.
"Handsome brother, this is Dahei, left to me by my grandfather!" Chu Runrun said with a smile while touching Dahei's head.
Ning Xuan looked at the dirty black dog and quickly took two steps back, suppressing his nausea and saying:
"Do you usually eat with it?"
Chu Ruanruan nodded: "Uncle and aunt don't let me into the house. Every time, Dahei steals the food and brings it to me, otherwise I will starve!"
Han Lixue has always been soft-hearted. When she heard Chu Runrun say this, her nose felt sore and her eyes turned red.
"Ruanruan, I'm sorry! If I had known you were living this kind of life, I would have taken you away!"
Han Lixue wanted to hold Chu Runruan in her arms, but Chu Runruan dodged.
"Beautiful aunt, you can't touch me, I will bring bad luck to you!" Chu Runrun said with her head down.
"Who said that! Didn't my brother catch you? There's no such thing as bad luck. You're clearly bringing good luck!"
Han Lixue said this and hugged Chu Ruanruan.
Chu Ruanruan's eyes turned red: "Beautiful aunt, are you really not afraid of me?"
"What's there to be afraid of! You and your grandfather are Xiao Xuan's benefactors!" Han Lixue smiled with tears in her eyes.
This was the first time someone was not afraid of her and was willing to hug her. Chu Ruanruan burst into tears.
Everyone looked at this scene and felt like they were recognizing their own family.
They didn't expect that Grandpa Chu actually had a favor for the Ning family. If they had known this, they would have brought Chu Ruanruan home to raise him even if they were afraid!
"Mrs. Ning, it's getting late. Do you want to go in and rest first?" said the village chief.
As soon as the words fell, Chu Ruanruan hurriedly said: "No! Pretty brother can't go in!"
Han Lixue was puzzled now: "Ruanruan, tell Auntie why my brother can't go in?"
Chu Ruanruan pointed at the house and said, "There's a bad guy in there. My brother has too much Yin energy, and he's just waiting for me to go in and harm me!"
"What bad guy? Why does he want to harm me?" Ning Xuan asked in confusion.
"My brother was born in a yang year, yang month, and yang hour. Grandpa said that this kind of physique is a very yang physique that ghosts and gods will retreat from. However, there is a lot of yin energy in my brother's body, which suppresses the very yang energy, so my brother is very weak.
"The bad guy inside is a vengeful ghost who has lived for decades and needs a scapegoat. As soon as you go in, it will use the Yin energy in your body to occupy your body!" Chu Ruanruan said seriously.
Everyone in Taoyuan Village knew how different Chu Runrun was. In addition, Grandpa Chu was a fortune teller who had solved many strange things in the village, so everyone believed Chu Runrun's words to some extent.
Han Lixue looked at Chu Ruanruan seriously and said, "Auntie believes you. We won't live here anymore! Where do you think we should live?"
"Let's go to my house! There is a ghost-avoiding formation left by my grandfather. It shouldn't be able to get in!" Chu Runrun said.
Before Han Lixue could say anything, the village chief said, "Chu girl, your house is too shabby. Why don't you choose another place for your wife to live?"
"Grandpa Village Chief, I don't have enough ability now and can't draw a ghost-avoiding formation. If the bad guys inside come out, other places will not be safe!" Chu Runrun said seriously.
The village chief choked and said, "Okay! Let's take some people and clean up your house, otherwise your wife will be uncomfortable living there!"
Chu Runrun was somewhat reluctant, but after looking at Han Lixue and Ning Xuan, she nodded.
Her house was too shabby. If she didn't clean it up, she really couldn't bear to let such a beautiful aunt and brother live in it.
