Li Heng's son was only two years old. He was thin and small, with delicate features. His small face made his eyes look particularly big.
When Mrs. Li answered the phone, he was still asleep, but he seemed very restless, twitching every now and then.
However, when Madam Li reached for the safety lock around his neck, he suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed Madam Li's hand.
"What are you doing?!" His gloomy, cold tone and indifferent, gloomy eyes were nothing like those of a two-year-old child.
Madam Li was startled.
She screamed and shoved his hand away, ripped off the safety lock, and scrambled out of the room. She went straight to the tool shed, found a hammer, and without hesitation, smashed it hard against the safety lock.
"ah……"
In the void of air, a distorted and piercing scream seemed to echo.
The lock body of the safety lock was deformed and cracked, revealing something hidden inside.
Madam Li reached out to peel back the skin to see what was inside, when a childish voice suddenly came from the stairwell.
"Auntie, don't move!"
Madam Li's hand froze. She looked up and followed the sound, and saw a beautifully sculpted little girl standing there.
Her big, dark eyes stared at the broken safety lock, her little face showing a serious expression.
Behind the little girl were her husband, her parents-in-law, and the Jian and Ji families.
Qiqi took out a talisman from her butterfly crossbody bag, ran over, picked up the peace lock, and stuck the talisman on the crack.
Then she put the safety lock into her small bag before saying to the Li family, "This safety lock was taken from a dead person. My little brother has a special birth chart and a special constitution. Wearing something with such heavy yin energy for a long time is normal, since he is still young and not in good health."
As she spoke, she took out a bottle of pills from her bag, poured out one, and handed it to Li Heng.
"Uncle Li, give this to the little brother, and he'll wake up right away."
Li Heng looked at the pretty pink candy-like thing in the little girl's fair hand, and without hesitation, he reached out and took it to the child's room, intending to feed it to the child.
Madam Li stopped her and asked in a low voice, "Aheng, who is this little girl? Didn't Qichuan introduce the master? Where is she? Was it the master's idea for me to smash the peace lock just now? You don't know that when I took off the peace lock, he suddenly opened his eyes and spoke to me very fiercely, like a completely different person. It scared me."
“That young girl is the master. She was the one who said there was something wrong with the peace lock and the kapok tree in the yard.”
As soon as Li Heng finished speaking, a servant stumbled over.
"Young Master..."
Li Heng recognized him as the man he had sent to dig under the tree and immediately asked, "Did you dig anything out of under the tree?"
"We dug it out." The maid's face was pale, and she was covered in mud, looking as if she had been severely frightened.
Li Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he pressed, "What did you dig up?"
"It was a bottle, and inside the bottle was a leg bone. Hair was wrapped around the leg bone, that hair, that hair..."
What's wrong with your hair?
"That head was alive! When we set it on fire, the hair came back to life!" The maid almost vomited as she recalled the scene.
Mrs. Li's legs went weak, but fortunately her husband helped her up.
Li Heng, forcing himself to speak, asked, "Was it burned?"
"It was burned!" the maid's lips trembled. "While it was burning, I could hear people screaming in agony."
It was as if they weren't burning hair, but people.
Just thinking about it is terrifying!
Madam Li's legs were so weak at this point that she could no longer stand.
I didn't believe it at first; how could such a small child be a master?
The medicine they were given looked like candy for children; I wondered if they had been scammed.
But after hearing what the maid said, she no longer doubted it.
"Quickly, quickly feed this medicine to Enen."
Li Heng handed her over to the maid for support, then went into his son's bedroom and fed the pink pill from his palm into his son's mouth.
Before he could even bring the water glass, the pill had already dissolved in Xiao En's mouth and he had swallowed it.
The next second, the eyelashes of the thin, sickly little boy on the large bed trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
"Xiao En!" Li Heng exclaimed in surprise, his voice trembling with joy.
"Dad," the little boy blinked and called out weakly.
Li Heng's eyes were red. He hadn't heard his son call him "Dad" for a long time since his son fell ill.
When Mrs. Li, who was being helped in by her maid, heard her son call her "Dad," she immediately burst into tears.
"Yes, yes, you're awake." Madam Li rushed to the bedside, holding her son's little hand, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
"Mommy..." Seeing her mother cry, Xiao En felt heartbroken and reached out her little hand to wipe away her tears. "Mommy, don't cry, En En will sleep!"
My two-year-old only cries when he falls and hurts himself.
Back then, his mother would blow on it for him, and it would stop hurting.
So he wanted to blow on it for his mother so she wouldn't feel pain.
Mrs. Li's heart ached at her son's thoughtfulness, and she cried even harder.
“Mom isn’t upset, Mom is happy. Seeing Enen wake up makes Mom happy.”
Then Qiqi and the others came in. When the two elderly people from the Li family saw that their grandson had woken up, they also joined the crying crowd.
Jian Qichuan could only temporarily act as the host, inviting Ji Chengfeng and the others to sit down first, and then having the servants bring tea, snacks, and fruit platters.
When the Li family calmed down and came downstairs, they saw the little girl sitting on the sofa, hugging an apple and taking small bites. Their affection for her was immediately evident.
"Qiqi!" Looking at the little girl's exquisitely beautiful face, like a porcelain doll, Madam Li wished she could hold her in her arms and cherish her.
However, since this was someone else's child, she couldn't directly take action. She could only restrain herself and say with a smile, "Little Qiqi, thank you for saving our Enen. Grandma has prepared some gifts for you as a token of gratitude. I hope you like them."
Madam Li only gave birth to one son, Li Heng, and Li Heng went through great difficulties to have another child, Enen.
They had no experience raising daughters, and when they saw a soft, obedient, and adorable little girl, even if she wasn't their own, they wanted to give her all the best things.
The maid brought up all the gifts prepared by the Li family, which were toys, clothes, and high-end snacks that little girls would like.
There was also a bank card. Qiqi glanced at it and narrowed her eyes when she saw the golden aura of wealth emanating from it.
"Wow, what a beautiful toy! Thank you, Grandma, Qiqi loves it!" Qiqi excitedly picked up a magnetic dress-up toy book and started playing with it.
What extra thoughts could a child possibly have? They're happy just to receive a gift.
In particular, she earned this gift herself through hard work.
It smells so good!
