"Thank you, Fourth Brother. You need to go back tonight to give Xiao Jiu and Xiao Su acupuncture. Fourth Brother can have the gifts delivered to our home tomorrow."
Mrs. Ji offered a somewhat apologetic explanation.
Upon hearing that Qiqi was going back to treat her nephew's illness, Ji Chengbei didn't say anything more. With a pale face, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, I'll have the driver deliver the gifts to your house tomorrow after they arrive. Sister-in-law, you can enjoy your meal. I'll go back and rest now."
"Alright, Fourth Brother, get some rest."
"Goodbye, Qiqi." Ji Chengbei said to Qiqi again.
Qiqi lowered her head, took out a talisman from her bag and handed it over, "Fourth Uncle, here's a talisman for you. Dissolve it in water and drink it, and you'll get a good night's sleep!"
After all, it was just affected by the evil energy of the hungry ghost, so its yang energy is a bit weak, and it may be plagued by nightmares when it sleeps at night.
However, drinking this talisman water will allow you to sleep soundly through the night until dawn.
Ji Chengbei had heard about Qiqi's abilities from his fifth brother. When she gave him a talisman, he didn't ask any questions, took it, said "thank you," and then turned around and went back to his detached villa through the back door.
After he left, Madam Ji asked again, "Qi Bao, is your fourth uncle really alright?"
"Hmm, it's nothing." Qiqi was gnawing on a pig's trotter, and some of the braised sauce got on her face, making it feel a little sticky. She rubbed it uncomfortably with the back of her hand. "Fourth Uncle was just affected by the evil energy, it's not a big problem. However, that hungry ghost on the plane has become quite powerful. We need to find the person it possesses, otherwise, there will be big trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Ji said with a solemn expression, "I will immediately have someone contact the airline to see if we can obtain the list of all passengers on the same flight."
With the passenger list, Qiqi could tell from the faces of those people who were possessed.
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Grandpa. Please let me know as soon as you have any news!" This is a great thing to do for the people, and it can accumulate merit. Qiqi can't stand idly by.
Seeing her granddaughter's enthusiastic expression, a sense of worry arose in Madam Ji's heart.
Such a large-scale search for someone will inevitably alert some forces that shouldn't be alerted, and at that time, Qiqi's matter will probably not be able to be kept secret.
In recent years, while the relevant departments have been cracking down on feudal superstition on the surface, they have also been secretly establishing related departments and recruiting a group of talented and extraordinary people.
However, they acted discreetly, suppressing paranormal events through government means before they spread, which is why the public still deeply resents the idea of ghosts and gods.
The reason they knew these inside stories was because they understood Qiqi's abilities and, in order to better protect her, they used a lot of connections and influence to investigate.
Qiqi is still too young, and Madam Ji does not actually want her to attract the attention of relevant departments too early.
This is not a good thing for her!
However, Qiqi's brilliance was too dazzling, and they couldn't hide it just by trying.
So when Sheng Fan proposed to adopt Qi Qi as his granddaughter, she did not object because she hoped that more powerful and influential families could provide Qi Qi with support.
Thinking of this, Madam Ji couldn't help but sigh heavily in her heart.
I just hope that when that day really comes, they can protect Qiqi.
After dinner, Madam Ji wiped Qiqi's hands and face clean and prepared to take her home.
Just before leaving, Qiqi suddenly said, "Mom, don't worry, Dad is already on his way to pick us up. Besides, he found evidence that Aunt Wen harmed you!"
Sure enough, a short while later, Ji Chengfeng walked in from outside, carrying a brown paper bag in his hand.
As soon as he entered the door, he said directly, "Wife, I've found evidence that Wenlan harmed you. It's all here." He handed the brown paper bag in his hand to Madam Ji, "I'll listen to your advice on how to handle it."
"What happened? Why do you say Wenlan harmed Wanqing?" Ji Chengfeng and the others hadn't told Madam Ji about this yet, so Madam Ji was somewhat bewildered.
In her memory, Wenlan was a well-behaved and sensible child, and she had a good relationship with Lao Wu's wife.
The two have been classmates since high school and later became very good friends. How come they're suddenly saying she harmed Lao Wu's wife?!
Previously, to avoid worrying the two elderly people, I hadn't told them about the curse placed on Madam Ji or the Seven Killings Formation set up in their house.
Now that Madam Ji had smelled the news, the matter seemed to have passed, so Ji Chengfeng recounted the whole story from beginning to end.
Even Mr. Ji put down his financial newspaper and magnifying glass and listened attentively.
Hearing that they had concealed so many things, Old Master Ji was furious.
"You guys are too audacious! Something so serious happened, and you kept it from us!"
Old Master Ji was so angry that he smacked Ji Chengfeng with his cane, making Ji Chengfeng jump up. "We were just afraid you would worry!"
"You're afraid we'll worry, so you won't tell us? What if there was no Qi Bao? Your whole family was murdered, and your mother and I didn't even know what happened. What are we supposed to do?!" Old Master Ji was so angry that his chest heaved violently, his lips turned white, and he looked like he was about to choke on his breath.
Qiqi quickly ran over, pinched a hand gesture with her thumb and forefinger, and pressed a few times on the acupoints on his chest.
Grandpa Ji finally felt a little better, and his chest felt more comfortable.
"Oh, thank you, Qi Bao." Grandpa Ji hugged and kissed Qi Qi, his white beard making Qi Qi giggle a few times. While laughing, he reminded him, "Grandpa, you're getting old, don't get emotional, otherwise your heart won't be able to take it. Take one of the medicine I made for you quickly."
Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji quickly ate one each.
The pills melt in your mouth, with a sweet strawberry and mango flavor mixed with the refreshing aroma of herbs, creating a delightfully pleasant experience.
"Qibao, this medicine... makes me feel so much better!" Madam Ji couldn't quite put her finger on exactly why it felt better, but she just felt much more relaxed overall.
Praised, Qiqi blushed and said, "This medicine can help Grandpa and Grandma improve their health. If they keep taking it, it can even make them look younger!"
While the idea of "rejuvenating" is an exaggeration, it can indeed make an elderly person appear younger than their actual age.
"That's wonderful! Does that mean Grandma won't need to go for beauty treatments anymore?"
Qiqi tilted her head, took out a stack of talismans from her bag, pulled out one, and handed the rest to Madam Ji. "Grandma, many of the skincare products used in beauty salons are not up to standard. This is a beauty talisman I developed. Grandma, if you wear it close to your body, your skin will gradually improve."
After a pause, he added, "I'll do some research later and make some natural skincare products for you. I guarantee they'll be better than the ones you buy outside!"
