Chapter 58: Practice to Seek Talisman
"Okay, okay." Li Jianguo naturally agreed.
Lin Zhixian brought Li Jianguo out, and Aunt Zhen and Aunt Zhao looked over immediately: "What's going on?"
Lin Zhixian said: "I will perform a ritual for the child and then ask for a peace talisman."
"Indeed, we should." Aunt Zhen and Aunt Zhao both nodded.
But both of them looked at Lin Zhixian: Is it you who can do it?
Lin Zhixian has never personally taught anyone how to perform a ritual.
Can you do it?
Or should the Three Fairies come?
Lin Zhixian pursed his lips: Have you ever seen a pig run, even if you haven't eaten pork?
She has been busy from nine in the morning to nine in the evening these days, but her work is not in vain.
She knows all the procedures.
It just so happened that Sanxiangu had just finished serving a customer. When she heard that Lin Zhixian was going to perform a ritual to pray for the safety of Li Jianguo's son, she pushed the next customer back and asked Lin Zhixian to help. This way, if Lin Zhixian did anything wrong, she could correct it in time to avoid making a big mistake.
With the help of the Three Fairies, Lin Zhixian performed the ritual smoothly despite being unfamiliar with the process. He then blessed a peace amulet and gave it to Li Jianguo, asking him to take it back and give it to his child. "The gods will naturally protect Xiaobao's safety and health, but you as parents also need to take good care of him and teach him carefully."
Li Jianguo took the amulet with both hands and said gratefully, "Master, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of Xiaobao in the future."
Lin Zhixian nodded: "Don't throw away food because of choking, and don't spoil your child too much."
"Yes, yes, yes." Li Jianguo did not refuse.
Of course it hurts when the time comes to pay, but compared to my son, it's nothing.
After paying the bill, Li Jianguo took the amulet and left in a hurry.
Aunt Zhen and Aunt Zhao immediately surrounded Lin Zhixian, "Did Mr. Li's wife really cheat on her husband and lock her son in the house until he almost starved to death?"
Lin Zhixian: “…”
"What's going on?" Sanxiangu didn't know what was going on, so she came over and asked.
Before Lin Zhixian could answer, Aunt Zhen said, "Ah Xian did a great deed today. He saved a life."
Aunt Zhen briefly explained the situation of Li Jianguo.
The three fairies were all stunned and looked at Lin Zhixian: "Is this true?"
Lin Zhixian nodded.
"My God, is there really such a vicious mother in this world?" Sanxian Gu felt that her three views were refreshed.
To be honest, as a fortune teller, she has seen everything.
It is very common for a stepmother to waste her adopted children, and even biological parents beating and scolding them is not uncommon either. But it is the first time I have seen someone lock his son at home and starve him to death just to fool around with his lover.
"There are really all kinds of people in this world." The Three Fairies sighed.
"That's right." Aunt Zhen also sighed: "Mr. Li is also lucky. He saw the report about Ah Xian in the newspaper when he came to Hong Kong City, so he thought of asking Ah Xian to tell his fortune. If it weren't for him, his son would have starved to death. Now he has been sent to the hospital, but his life or death is still unknown."
"I hope God is merciful and will not let such a poor baby die like this." Aunt Zhao also sighed.
The Third Fairy turned to look at Lin Zhixian, who said, "From my observation of his face, the Children's Palace is no longer as dim and dim as before, as if it was about to go out. So I think his son should be able to get through this difficult time. However, what will happen in the future depends on God's will."
In other words, Lin Zhixian was also sure whether Li Jianguo's son could survive.
Sanxianu was immediately worried.
But she soon thought again that Li Jianguo was from the mainland. Even if he really made a mistake in his calculation, would he come to Hong Kong City to settle the score with them?
Even if he comes, would you still be afraid of him?
The Three Fairies relaxed when she thought of this: "We are not gods who can save lives after all. We can only say that we should do our best and leave the rest to fate."
Lin Zhixian nodded, it was indeed true.
On the other side, Li Jianguo hurried back to the company, asked for leave from his boss, and then packed up his things and went home.
Transportation at that time was not as convenient as it is in later times. When he returned home, it was already evening. The house was deserted and no one was there.
Li Jianguo glanced around the room, not knowing where the fat aunt and the others had found the child. When he thought of the three-year-old child, hungry and thirsty, being locked up in this dark and cold room for several days and nights, he felt so heartbroken that he couldn't even breathe.
Lin Meiyun.
He felt heartbroken and resentful.
He worked so hard to earn money outside, but she betrayed him and treated their child like this.
Inexcusable.
But the most important thing right now is my son.
Li Jianguo put down his luggage and hurried to Auntie Fei's house to ask which hospital the child was in, and then hurried to the hospital.
Auntie Fat breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him: "Li Jianguo, you're finally here."
"How is Xiaobao?" Li Jianguo asked hurriedly, his eyes fixed on Xiaobao lying on the hospital bed.
It was as if he was meeting Xiaobao for the first time. Although he was only three years old, he was so tiny.
Li Jianguo's eyes instantly turned red. He should have noticed it long ago, but Lin Meiyun kept saying that Xiaobao was born prematurely and was born weak, and no matter how he was taken care of, he would not be able to be well.
Now he realized that it wasn't that Xiaobao was not well raised, but that Lin Meiyun simply didn't take good care of him.
Auntie Fei followed Li Jianguo's gaze and looked at Xiaobao, sighing, "Xiaobao is so pitiful. The doctor gave him a full-body check-up. He was born premature and was born with a weak constitution. Not only has he not had enough nutrition in recent years, but he has also been hungry and full. His stomach has problems and his immune system has been damaged. Not to mention that he was hungry for several days this time. If he hadn't been sent to the hospital for treatment in time, he would not be able to be saved now. But the doctor said that Xiaobao is severely malnourished and has problems with his stomach. He must stay in the hospital for observation and treatment for a period of time."
Li Jianguo felt even more heartbroken after hearing this.
Li Jianguo thanked Auntie Fatty and called his hometown early the next morning, asking his brother to bring his mother over to help take care of the child. Before his brother's mother arrived, Li Jianguo did not dare to leave the hospital and stayed there, while his wife Lin Meiyun was nowhere to be seen from beginning to end, which made Li Jianguo even more heartbroken.
After his brother's mother arrived, Li Jianguo asked his mother to help take care of the children, and took his brothers to look for Lin Meiyun. In the end, they caught Lin Meiyun and her lover in bed. In anger, Li Jianguo and his brothers broke Lin Meiyun's adulterer's legs on the spot. Lin Meiyun was also beaten with a bruised face and broken ribs, and was dragged to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce.
For the sake of his son, Li Jianguo gave his mother 100 yuan every month and asked her to stay and help take care of the child. At the same time, he quit his job that required frequent business trips and switched to a job that did not require frequent business trips and allowed him to go home every day. He also took the trouble to find suitable jobs for his brothers so that they all had income and could rest assured helping him take care of the child. And because his brothers all had money, they did not have to withhold his son's things and leave them to other grandchildren and sons.
It can be said that Li Jianguo tried every possible way for his son and even never remarried.
In the end, Xiaobao became healthier day by day under Li Jianguo's meticulous care, and Li Jianguo always remembered Lin Zhixian's words and did not spoil the child too much just because he was weak, thus spoiling his temper. Many years later, Xiaobao finally became a successful person, and Li Jianguo and his son were grateful for Lin Zhixian's kindness all their lives.
