Chapter 52
As a mother, only she herself knows how much she cares about her children.
Jin Chaochao naturally would not refuse. The Leng family was also a family worth making friends with. A good relationship would be beneficial to both her and the Fu family.
After all, there is a long way to go, and more friends will mean more paths in the future.
Leng Yu was very happy to see that his family and Jin Chaochao got along well with each other.
Halfway through the banquet, Ji Lao found Jin Chaochao.
The old man, who is in his eighties, looks vigorous and his old eyes are still sharp.
"Miss Jin, could you please spare me a moment to talk?" He seemed to have something to say.
Jin Chaochao stood up from the sofa and followed him to the Leng family's garden.
At noon, the sun was shining brightly outside, and the hot air made people sweat instantly.
With his hands behind his back, Ji Lao brought Jin Chaochao to a deserted place under the shade of a tree.
His lips moved for a long time, as if he had something to say but found it difficult to speak. But in the end he said, "Miss Jin, I heard from Old Man Leng that you are from the Xuanmen. Something strange happened in my house recently, and I want you to come over and take a look."
"What's so strange?" Jin Chaochao asked.
"My grandson said that he often heard someone crying outside the window in the middle of the night, but he could not see anything when he opened the window. Recently, the child fell ill and did not get better after a week of treatment in the hospital."
In fact, he doesn't believe in metaphysics.
He felt that the child was young and growing, and might have been confused in his sleep and had hallucinations.
But now the child is sick, and after a week of examination in the hospital, the cause of the illness has not been found.
Every time the test results were normal, the child would have repeated fevers, talk nonsense in the middle of the night, and even have nightmares.
The doctors tried all kinds of medicines but to no avail.
Jin Chaochao saw that Mr. Ji had a sad face and a dark aura under his eyes, so he counted with his fingers and it was a bad omen.
She took the initiative to suggest: "I think the child is dying. I'm afraid he can't wait. Take me over to see him now."
Mr. Ji was stunned. "Is it so serious? But the doctor said that he is fine and all his physical indicators are normal."
Jin Chaochao didn't explain too much, "Then it's up to you to decide."
Anyway, she calculated that the child's life was in danger.
Seeing Jin Chaochao's natural attitude and calm tone, Mr. Ji felt uneasy.
Although he felt it was not good to leave early to celebrate his old friend's birthday, he thought about the life of his little grandson.
He decided to leave anyway.
After Mr. Ji explained the situation to Mr. Leng, he took Jin Chaochao and left the Leng family.
The city’s military hospital, the highest-level ward.
In front of Ji Zhengyu's bed, Grandpa Ji pointed at the young man lying on the bed and explained: "This is my grandson!"
Jin Chaochao looked at Ji Zhengyu.
I saw that he had an IV hanging on his arm, his face was red, his brows were furrowed, and he looked like he was in great pain.
Even at noon, one could see that there was a dark mist between his brows, dark circles under his eyes, and his lips were an abnormal blue color. Of course, these symptoms are something that ordinary people cannot see at all.
Jin Chaochao didn't wait for Ji Lao to say more. She walked up to the boy and pried open his eyes, and found that his pupils had begun to dilate.
He looked like his three souls had been taken away.
After twelve o'clock tonight, if he cannot find his three souls back, his seven spirits will also dissipate.
The most important thing to do right now is to find out the reason why his three souls were taken away.
"His condition is quite serious. Mr. Ji, you have to take me to see his room." Jin Chaochao's expression gradually became solemn. At the same time, she took out a cinnabar pen from her bag and drew runes all over Ji Zhengyu's arm.
These runes can ensure the safety of his three souls for six hours.
Mr. Ji became nervous, his old eyes full of worry, "Please follow me, Miss Jin!"
The Ji family lives in an area more than an hour away from the Leng family, and their home is also a magnificent villa.
Ji Zhengyu's room is on the second floor.
As soon as she opened the door, Jin Chaochao saw a bamboo ball on the table. It was black and no one knew where it came from.
Jin Chaochao walked forward, picked up the ball, turned around and asked Ji Lao, "Where did you get this ball?"
Mr. Ji explained in an unsteady tone, "It seems to be picked up from outside. He always said it was an antique or something. I think it is a toy made of bamboo."
Jin Chaochao shook her head seriously, "This is not an antique at all, it's clearly a hydrangea thrown by a female ghost. Then let me ask you again, before he said he heard the woman crying, did he go to any special place?"
Mr. Ji fell into deep thought again.
Ji Zhengyu fell ill a week ago, and he picked up the ball half a month ago.
At that time, he seemed to have gone on a picnic in the suburbs with his classmates.
"I remember that he went on a picnic with some classmates."
"I'll go check out the exact location."
Mr. Ji immediately asked the housekeeper to look for Ji Zhengyu's classmates, and soon found their picnic place.
Jin Chaochao drove over with Ji Lao again.
This whole process lasted until the evening.
In a picturesque valley in the suburbs, there are traces of barbecue on the ground.
Jin Chaochao knew that this was the place.
She looked around but didn't see anything special.
"I have to go look around. Master Ji, just rest here and wait for me."
Mr. Ji is old and it is very inconvenient for him to move around.
He nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll wait here. It's getting dark, Miss Jin, please be safe."
Jin Chaochao responded and turned into the jungle.
The valley is densely covered with vegetation and weeds are everywhere.
She wandered around for a long time, and when the sun was about to set, she finally saw a path that she could walk on.
She walked along the path up the mountain and could see many traces of footsteps.
After she walked for about ten minutes, she finally found a small mound of earth.
The sun had just set at this time. Jin Chaochao walked to the mound. A cold wind suddenly blew, and the surrounding trees rustled.
But when she looked closely, the surrounding trees and leaves did not shake.
Jin Chaochao was not afraid. She walked forward slowly, took out three incense sticks from her bag and lit them.
She stuck the incense next to the pile of dirt and said faintly, "I'll give you one hour to release the person to me, otherwise I have plenty of ways to capture you."
The surroundings quickly became silent, and a biting cold air came from nowhere and swept towards Jin Chaochao.
Jin Chaochao sneered and clasped his hands together, "The universe is in its right place, all evil will retreat..."
As her voice fell, a dazzling golden light burst out from her body.
The arrogant cold air just now dissipated instantly.
The small raised mound of earth shook and then sank a large area, as if something underground had collapsed.
Soon, a woman's terrified voice begging for mercy was heard from the dirt pile, "Master, spare my life. I will let him go now."
Jin Chaochao sneered: "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished. If you had done this earlier, the house wouldn't have collapsed."
The woman's voice was full of grievance. "I am a ghost who loves funerals. If I can't find someone to marry, I will never be able to leave this place. He picked up my ball..."
