Chapter 82: Quick Slap in the Face
Su Wei was furious.
Nian Nian is his only daughter. She has been pampered since childhood. How could she have suffered such harm?
If Lu Beichen hadn’t stopped him, he really wanted to beat Shen Wan to death!
"Uncle Su! Calm down. Master Shen really has no intention of hurting Nian Nian. She is trying to save Nian Nian!" Lu Beichen tried his best to explain.
Su Wei pushed him away in anger and said angrily, "Did I ask you to meddle in other people's business?"
"Is Chen Wan saving people or killing people? I have eyes and I can see for myself!"
"Lu Beichen, originally, because your father and I are on good terms, I, as an elder, would not bother with you, but I never expected that you would bring this lunatic to the ward in the middle of the night to set fire!"
"Go away, and don't call me uncle anymore!"
Su Wei made a harsh statement, which meant that he wanted to break off relations with the Lu family.
Lu Beichen was helpless: "Uncle Su..."
"Shut up, I don't want to listen! Take her away, or I'll call the police if you're one minute late!" Su Wei pointed outside the door and said sternly.
Chen Wan's face was light: "I came here entirely for Mr. Lu's sake. Since someone doesn't know what's good for them, forget it. Just wait to collect your daughter's body."
Su Wei angrily grabbed the bouquet and was about to throw it at her: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, come and try!"
Shen Wan left without looking back.
"You get out too!" Su Wei pushed Lu Beichen away.
Lu Beichen looked helpless: "Uncle Su, you...ah!"
He turned around and chased after Shen Wan.
When the two passed by the bathroom, they happened to see medical staff carrying Shen Yunyi out.
He stank so badly that he fainted from the stink.
"Master Shen, Uncle Su..."
"I understand." Chen Wan didn't take it to heart at all, "Let's go to the riverside first and offer sacrifices."
The riverside was frighteningly dark in the middle of the night.
Even if there was a moon, its light could not illuminate the inky black surface of the river.
The shore was so quiet that Lu Beichen felt uneasy. He looked at Chen Wan cautiously, only to see that she didn't react at all. She just took out the sacrificial items from the trunk and placed them on the stone step by step.
Chen Wan lit incense and gold and silver ingots, and then asked Lu Beichen to scatter paper money into the water to guide the way.
She said, "Listen, water ghosts in the river. I know you stay underwater all year round. At night, your spirits are as cold as an ice cellar. When the sun comes out, it's like being cooked by hot oil. When it rains, it's like being pierced by thousands of arrows. Being a water ghost is extremely painful. But as long as you don't have blood on your body, you can rely on my guidance to live on the shore. You just need to wait until your life span is over. Then the ghost messengers will take you back to the underworld to report."
Shen Wan burned a large paper villa on the spot.
The law-abiding water ghosts heard her call, stepped on paper money to come ashore, and all excitedly surrounded the big villa.
"With a house, we don't have to suffer day and night!"
"Thank you, Master!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Lu Beichen couldn't see the water ghost, but he could feel gusts of cold wind blowing towards him.
Shen Wan looked into the river, where the huge mountain of rotten flesh was lurking in the water, staring at her.
"It's time to call it a day and go home to sleep."
On the way, Lu Beichen asked her: "Master Shen, you said the water ghost escaped, so it will go to find Nian Nian, right?"
Chen Wan nodded: "That's right, the water ghost will definitely make a move within three days, otherwise if we miss the opportunity, it will have to stay in the water for several more years."
Lu Beichen asked curiously, "What you just said about water ghosts being cold at night, cooking with hot oil during the day, and feeling as painful as a thousand arrows piercing their hearts when it rains, is this true? I thought ghosts wouldn't feel these pains."
"You think too much. Even though ghosts have lost their bodies, they still feel pain. And this is the pain of the soul, which is much more severe than the pain of the body."
"I see. That person who jumped into the river was really pitiful. He thought he would end it all because he had no hope in life. He didn't expect that he would be even more miserable and hopeless after death."
"Yes, so I went to offer sacrifices to them and build a house for them. At least they can shelter from the wind and rain."
Lu Beichen admired her kindness.
Master Shen is obviously a good person in every way. I don't know why the Shen family treats her so harshly.
If the Shen family knew that Shen Wan was a true master of metaphysics and had great strength, they would probably regret it to death.
Chen Wan returned home, heated up the medicine soup, drank it, and fell asleep.
…
Nightfall, hospital.
Su Wei sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes bloodshot, looking at his unconscious daughter with fatigue and worry.
He put down all his work to look after his daughter because he was afraid that the psychopath Chen Wan would sneak into the hospital and commit murder.
Thinking of Shen Wan's behavior, Su Wei scolded her again.
"Niannian, my precious daughter, please wake up soon. If your mom is still alive, she will be heartbroken. Can you please wake up soon? Daddy promises you that if you want to apply to the film school, Dad will support you to study there!"
He originally didn't want his daughter to enter the entertainment industry.
But now, compared to my daughter living a healthy and happy life, going to film school is nothing!
Su Wei sighed.
The lights in the ward suddenly flickered a few times.
Su Wei subconsciously looked towards the door.
The door was half-open, and all I could see was the dark corridor outside.
Su Wei had an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness.
Until he smelled a damp and rotten smell coming in from outside the door.
"What a smell! It stinks!"
Su Wei stood up and went to close the door.
But I accidentally saw a pair of footprints appearing out of nowhere on the originally clean ground.
The footprints were wet and were actually moving towards the bed.
Thinking of the water ghost that Shen Wan mentioned, Su Wei was suddenly shocked, with fear in his eyes.
"Don't hurt my daughter!"
He rushed to the bed and waved his hands wildly, as if trying to drive something away.
“Ding ding! Ding ding ding!!”
The instrument made the familiar rapid sound again.
Looking at my daughter again, her face was pale and her lips were purple, as if something was strangling her throat again.
Moreover, the quilt was suddenly soaked with water and weighed heavily on the daughter.
Tick-tock…
Drops of water dripped from the quilt like running water.
Su Wei widened his eyes, panicking and not knowing what to do.
Suddenly, he remembered the text message Lu Beichen had sent him.
Su Wei looked around and finally saw the alcohol-based disinfectant on the table.
He hurriedly opened the bottle cap, sprinkled it around the bed, and then tremblingly took out a lighter to light it.
The flame suddenly ignited!
The water footprints quickly retreated to the door and turned into a puddle of water.
Su Wei was horrified to see a swollen ghost face reflected in the water.
The ghost face stared at Su Niannian on the bed, the corners of his mouth cracked little by little, and black water like a stinky ditch came out.
"Go away!" Su Wei trembled as he took the disinfectant and sprinkled it on the door, then lit it.
The water ghost stared at him unwillingly and disappeared into the depths of the dark corridor.
Instead of feeling relieved, Su Wei was shaking with fear.
"There is a ghost. There really is a water ghost haunting Nian Nian..."
“Chen Wan…yes, find Chen Wan!”
