Chapter 47
Their cell phones had already run out of battery, and in the end it was a passing truck driver who called the police and asked them to take them back.
The wounds on Xie Que's body spread quickly, and he fainted as soon as he got into the police car. It was three days later when he woke up again.
He was lying on the hospital bed. Jing Xiebai was making a phone call outside the ward. When he noticed that he had woken up, he quickly hung up the phone and pushed the door open.
"Awake? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Jing Xiebai poured a glass of water for Xie Que. There was a dark spot under his eyes and he didn't look in good condition.
Xie Que took the cup of water, took a sip, and asked, "How long have I been sleeping? Are you okay? What happened to that Taotie before?"
"Don't worry." Seeing that Xie Que was fine, Jing Xiebai relaxed and leaned on Xie Que's shoulder, whispering, "I haven't rested for several days. Let me take it easy."
"You..." Just as Xie Que was about to ask if something had happened, he discovered that Jing Xiebai had fallen asleep. The man who was usually full of vigor and vitality, at this moment, showed a hint of dejection.
Xie Que looked down at Jing Xiebai, and his mind inappropriately recalled the scene of his first meeting with Jing Xiebai. He really didn't expect that their relationship would be so good later.
As he thought about it, Xie couldn't help but chuckle. All the fatigue from this period of time was swept away in an instant, and he felt a lot more relaxed.
This was the scene Lu Jueqiu saw when he pushed the door open. He was speechless for a moment as he looked at Jing Xiebai who was sleeping soundly beside him.
Xie waved at him, and the two of them worked together to lift Jing Xiebai onto the bed and walked to the balcony at the end of the corridor to chat.
"What happened in the past few days?" Xie didn't look at Lu Jueqiu, but his eyes were on the children playing wildly on the lawn not far away.
Lu Jueqiu followed his gaze and said, "Your injuries were too severe. I rushed you to the hospital the moment I met you. You're lucky to be alive."
"Where's Jing Xiebai? His injuries are no less serious than mine, right?"
Lu Jueqiu frowned, hesitating whether to speak or not.
Xie smiled silently, seeing his concern: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else." As the head of the family, Jing Xiebai naturally could not show his weak side in front of outsiders, and he could not make it public even if he was seriously injured.
Lu Jueqiu looked up at Xie Que, smiled, and stopped worrying: "You also guessed that his sword is not an ordinary thing, right?"
"Um."
Lu Jueqiu scratched his hair irritably and said, "He sealed up half of the sword's power. This time, when he encountered Chen Shan, he broke the seal and released Taotie."
"A beast like Taotie is greedy by nature, so it's impossible for him to be used by Jing Xiebai for nothing. Every minute he's out will cost Jing Xiebai a year of his life."
"What?!" Xie Que widened his eyes in disbelief, looking at Lu Jueqiu with despair, "Then he is..."
"Two years of life were lost." Lu Jueqiu's voice was very soft, mixed in the wind, and it actually brought a hint of coolness when it blew through the hot summer day.
Xie was stunned, not knowing what to say. Instead, Lu Jueqiu came to comfort him: "He's a man of measure. He was forced to do that last time. He never used this trick before..."
"sorry."
"Let's not talk about this for now." Lu Jueqiu changed the subject abruptly, "There are more serious problems."
"We found the rental house where Chen Shan lives."
Xie looked up in surprise: "Found it!"
"Yes." Lu Jueqiu sent the location information to Xie Que, "He has already escaped. I have arranged for someone to guard there. When Jing Xiebai wakes up, you can go with him to check it out."
Noticing the caution in Lu Jueqiu's words, Xie felt a little flustered: "What happened?"
"Alas." Lu Jueqiu sighed weakly, "There's an evil formation inside, and many people have been affected. It's difficult to break the formation. Jing Xiebai has to go and take a look before we can find a solution."
"Okay, then I'll go see him." Xie turned around and walked back, but was stopped by Lu Jueqiu after taking a few steps.
"Xie Que, it's impossible that you don't have any feelings for Jing Xiebai, right?"
Xie stopped where he was, without looking back, and opened his mouth, not knowing how to express his inner feelings.
You like it a little bit, right?
It would be impossible to say that I'm not moved at all, right?
Xie really couldn't figure out his own feelings. He wanted to stay with Jing Xiebai and not part ways even after catching Chen Shan, but...
"Tsk." Lu Jueqiu didn't ask any more questions and walked back, "Let's go back and see him."
Xie was silent and didn't say anything else.
Jing Xiebai woke up in the afternoon. When he woke up and learned that Lu Jueqiu had found Chen Shan's rental house, he wanted to fly over immediately.
"Don't worry, I've sent someone to guard it." Lu Jueqiu locked the door of the ward.
"What do you mean? How can I not be anxious?" Jing Xiebai was just a little tired, and he felt much more energetic after a good sleep.
"It's not too late to go tomorrow. It's a little late today." Xie Que cut an apple for Jing Xie Bai. "Anyway, there are people watching over us, so nothing will happen."
“…”
Jing Xiebai didn't insist. He took the apple and took a bite. "How are you recovering? That blood corpse bit you pretty hard."
"It's nothing." Xie pulled his T-shirt down, revealing his gauze-wrapped shoulders. "Apart from staying out of the water for the next few days, there should be no problem."
Jing Xiebai carefully touched Xie Que's shoulder, his brows furrowed, "Chen Shan is such a scheming person that he even calculated the blood moon.
Not only did he kill the people sent by Jing Xiebai in a short time, he also turned them into blood puppets. His methods were really sophisticated. If he hadn't summoned Taotie, they really wouldn't be able to hurt him.
Jing Xiebai's eyes darkened a little. The next time he met Chen Shan, he would definitely not be at a disadvantage.
"By the way, how do you know Chen Shan is Li Mohan?"
"Hmm?" Xie didn't expect him to ask this. He raised his eyebrows and replied, "I guessed."
"There's no one around us who could possibly be Li Mohan, and Xie Lingsong wouldn't bring this person into our sight for no reason. So, after eliminating all the possible suspects, it can only be Chen Shan, right?"
Xie Que thought a lot during those days. Every step he took was in line with Xie Lingsong's plan. The other party had laid out all the clues in front of them, but when it came to Li Mohan, they had no idea at all. No matter how they thought about it, there must be something wrong, right?
And from the moment they entered the game, they were wondering: Who is Chen Shan? How could a ghost child know about evil magic? How did this evil magic come to be?
There are too many questions in front of me, and Li Mohan suddenly appears at this time. No matter how I think about it, there is only one possibility.
But he didn't expect Chen Shan to be Li Mohan, which made Xie Lingsong suspicious again. Why was he so close to Li Mohan? Was he really on their side?
"There's one more thing worth noting." Jing Xiebai interrupted Xie Que's thoughts. "What did he mean by 'We've met again'? What's the connection between him and Xie Lingsong? It doesn't sound like they have a good relationship."
Otherwise, you wouldn't say that you won't be soft-hearted anymore, right?
"Chen Shan is Li Mohan?" Lu Jueqiu was a little incredulous. "What's the story between him and Xie Lingsong? Why are they still entangled in each other in the next life?"
"I don't know either." Xie shook his head. He was also a little confused about the relationship between the two.
"Don't think about it, let's go home first." Jing Xiebai parked the car at the hospital. It was getting late, and it was time for them to drive home.
"Jueqiu, remember to call me if anything happens."
"Um."
Jing Xiebai clenched his fist and hit Lu Jueqiu, then picked up the car keys and drove home with Xie Que.
There were not many people in the community, and the person sitting in the security room was not the one Xie Que remembered. When parking the car, Xie Que thought about what had happened during this period and felt a little sad.
"Go back to my home?" Jing Xiebai noticed that Xie Que was distracted and waved his hand in front of him.
"Um?"
"You haven't been home for so long, it must be covered in dust, right? My house is cleaned regularly, and there are vegetables in the refrigerator. Come back to my place."
Xie did not refuse and followed Jing Xiebai back home.
The two of them packed up briefly, turned off the lights and went to sleep. The next day, they left home early.
Chen Shan's rental house was in a dilapidated neighborhood in the old city. When they arrived, they happened to meet the person sent by Lu Jueqiu taking over.
"Yucheng?"
Before entering the room, Jing Xiebai saw Jing Yucheng carrying a box of breakfast in the corridor, and took out two bags of dumplings from it: "I didn't expect you to come too." After saying that, without waiting for his answer, he hurriedly caught up with Xie Que in front and handed him the breakfast.
The rental house was small, but it was very clean. Jing Xiebai broke the formation when he entered.
"It seems Chen Shan was seriously injured. He ran away without even packing up his things." Jing Xiebai dug out two notebooks from under the bed. They contained various sorcery spells. He casually glanced through them, and the more he read, the more his brows furrowed. "Where on earth did he learn so many sorcery spells?"
"Huh? Can I see it?"
"No." Jing Xiebai closed the notebook and handed it to Jing Yucheng who was guarding the door. "Don't look at it. Go back and give it to Lu Jueqiu."
Jing Yucheng nodded, didn't ask any further questions, and quickly stood up.
"Let's look for it again." Jing Xiebai rubbed Xie Que's head, "There should be something else."
"Okay." Xie called two more people from outside to come in and search together. Finally, they found a Pisces jade pendant and a wooden plaque engraved with the words "Li Mohan" in a cabinet.
"His jade pendant and mine are a perfect match." Xie Que took out his own jade pendant, matched it, and handed it to Jing Xiebai. "It seems the relationship between Li Mohan and Xie Lingsong is more complicated than we thought."
They both wore a Pisces jade pendant and wanted to kill each other when they met. What happened between these two people?
"That's really strange." Jing Xiebai looked at the tightly bound jade pendants in his hands and speculated, "Could the two of them have split up because of this sorcery?"
Xie frowned and thought about what Jing Xiebai said, and found that it did make sense.
"Among the things Xie Lingsong left behind, there's also a piece of paper with records of sorcery. What does he mean? Does he also use sorcery?"
"Not really." Jing Xiebai shook his head and returned the jade pendant to Xie Que. "If he really used witchcraft, why would he only leave me that piece of paper? He should have recorded all the witchcraft like Chen Shan did."
