"But...don't people only become ghosts after they die?" The old woman glanced at her feet, which were detached from the ground and floating in mid-air. "Isn't what I am now a ghost?"
Qiqi shook her head: "You're only a soul separated from your body right now, not a real ghost yet. But if you don't return to your body soon, you'll become a real ghost."
"But I can't go back!" She had just tried to return to her body, but there was no way.
Each time it lunged forward, it passed right through the body.
“You definitely can’t do it on your own,” Qiqi said, pulling out a talisman. “Watch me!”
After saying that, he held up the talisman and walked towards the old woman's body on the ground.
The middle-aged woman next to the old lady was almost fainting from crying and didn't notice Qiqi approaching.
However, the onlookers were sharp-eyed and spotted a little girl named Qiqi approaching, so they quickly called out to her.
"Hey, whose kid is this? Come back here, he's making trouble!"
Qiqi turned around and smiled at the person who spoke: "I'm not trying to cause trouble, I'm trying to save this old lady."
As Qiqi spoke, she slapped the talisman in her hand onto the old lady's body.
Jiang Mei was still immersed in grief when she heard the words of the onlookers and looked up. She saw a little girl sticking a yellow talisman on her old lady and immediately wanted to stop her.
In the end, it was too late, and they could only watch helplessly as the talisman was pasted on the old lady's forehead.
"What are you doing!" Jiang Mei suddenly became furious, reaching out to pull Qi Qi aside and shouting sternly, "Where did this brat come from? Where are your parents?"
Qiqi stumbled and almost fell as the woman pulled her.
Fortunately, after she transmigrated, she meditated every day, which made her small body stronger than that of an ordinary child and made her more stable, so she didn't fall to the ground.
She wasn't angry. Instead, she looked at the woman and said in a childish voice, "Auntie, I'm saving the old lady. The old lady isn't dead yet; she'll wake up soon."
Although Jiang Mei was angry that Qi Qi had stuck things on the old lady's body, her anger dissipated almost immediately when she saw Qi Qi's soft and cute face and heard her speak in a sweet and gentle voice.
She crouched down, suppressing her grief, and her tone was much gentler than before, which had been sharp.
"I'm sorry, little girl, I was in such a hurry just now, did I hurt you?"
Qiqi shook her little head: "No, Auntie, I'm fine."
Jiang Mei added, "That's good, Auntie thanks you for your kindness, but..."
The woman choked up and couldn't continue.
Thinking of her beloved husband and only son who had just passed away, and how her family was in chaos and surrounded by wolves, she feared that if something happened to her mother-in-law now, she would have no place in the Cen family.
Thinking that she couldn't protect her husband's family business or his mother, Jiang Mei's tears flowed like a broken string of pearls.
"Auntie, don't be sad, Grandma will be alright." Qiqi blinked her big, round eyes. This auntie is so pitiful.
Jiang Mei didn't take Qi Qi's words to heart at all. She just wiped away her tears and looked at Qi Qi, saying, "Little girl, where are your family? Have you gotten separated from them? Auntie will ask someone to help you find your mom and dad, okay?"
Jiang Mei felt extremely guilty thinking about how she had almost made the child fall.
If the old lady could stay here without anyone else, she would definitely take the little girl to find her parents and apologize to them.
"No need, Auntie." Qiqi pointed to Ji Chengfeng, who was walking through the crowd towards her. "I came with my dad. My dad is over there."
Hearing that the little girl's father was there, Jiang Mei breathed a sigh of relief and had no mind to care about Qiqi anymore. The old lady was unconscious and her body was getting cold. She was about to die, so she had to quickly find a way to stabilize the situation at the company and at home and arrange a dignified funeral for the old lady.
She wiped away her tears, forcing back the grief in her heart, and reached out to remove the talisman from her mother-in-law's forehead.
"Auntie, you can't pick it up yet, you have to wait a little while." A small hand reached out and stopped her.
Jiang Mei looked at Qi Qi with a puzzled expression, but seeing that the little girl looked serious, she didn't seem to be lying.
And she kept looking around her, as if there was something nearby.
But when she looked to the left and right, there was nothing there at all.
For some reason, Jiang Mei thought of some strange things, and her heart suddenly started beating faster.
"Little girl, what is this talisman for? You keep looking around me, is there something around me?" Jiang Mei asked this question with a mix of trepidation and unease.
But there is also an indescribable hope!
"This is a soul-soothing talisman, which can help the old lady's soul return to her body." Qiqi looked up at the woman with her fair and tender face and said, "The old lady was under someone's evil spell, and her soul left her body, which is why she is showing symptoms of apparent death."
Jiang Mei was completely bewildered. What kind of evil magic was this? What about the soul leaving the body? What about feigning death?
What is all this nonsense?!
However, she understood one thing: "You mean that as long as this talisman is pasted on, my mother-in-law will get better?"
"Hmm." Qiqi glanced at her side again; the old woman's soul had already disappeared and returned to her body.
The woman felt a glimmer of hope, but looking at the still lifeless old woman on the ground, she thought to herself, "I must be crazy to have believed a child who is only three or four years old!"
"Qi Bao." Ji Chengfeng squeezed in, glanced at the talisman on the old lady's forehead, and knew it was his precious daughter's doing. He quickly squatted down in front of her, grabbed her little arm, and asked, "What's going on?"
"Dad, this old lady has had her soul extracted using evil magic and is pretending to be dead. I'm trying to save her."
Upon hearing that it was another form of evil magic, Ji Chengfeng's expression twisted.
Why are there so many people using evil magic to harm others lately?
Or is it that he was unaware of this before, or that this situation has always existed?
Just then, the sound of an ambulance wailing came from the intersection.
Someone shouted, "The ambulance is here! The doctor is here!"
Then, an emergency doctor in a white coat rushed over with a nurse and knelt down to examine the old lady's condition.
Seeing the talisman stuck to the old woman's forehead, he paused for a moment, then said irritably, "What's wrong with your family? Instead of taking her to the hospital when she's sick, you resort to these weird and unorthodox methods. Who's going to take responsibility for delaying her treatment?!"
Qiqi blinked her big eyes at the angry doctor. The calming talisman had worked, so she took her short legs and walked forward.
