Chapter 128 Peppermint Candy (Part 2) He was afraid that he would eat Lin Zhuyue alive...
When they returned to Qianyuan Community, Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can learned that Wang Hexu had fallen asleep.
They entered the room with Wang Hexu's parents, making no effort to be quiet as they entered, but Wang Hexu didn't wake. He had been harassed by the K3 bus for a long time, and he hadn't slept well in a long time. He was exhausted, but now he finally managed to drift off to sleep, and his sleep was deep and profound.
Shi Can rolled up Wang Hexu's quilt, revealing the boy's feet.
Lin Zhuyue cooperated and opened the Bagua bag.
The weak living soul flowed out of the Bagua bag and flowed into the body that had lost this soul for a long time.
Shi Can sat down beside the bed, took Wang Hexu's hand, and checked his pulse. After a moment, Shi Can said to Wang Donglai and Li Xiaotong, who were unable to see anything and looked confused:
"The pulse is getting stronger, can you feel it too?"
Li Xiaotong placed her fingers on her son's wrist.
Wang Donglai quietly observed Wang Hexu's changes and said:
"He seems to be looking better than before."
Shi Can took out two moxa sticks from the tool kit, handed them to Wang Donglai, and said:
"At eight in the morning, take him out to bask in the sun, with his back facing the direction of rising sun. Don't go out between sunset and sunrise, and don't go out on rainy days. His soul has just returned and is very unstable. It's easy for a newly returned soul to fall out, so don't read horror stories or watch horror movies."
"Every room in the house, especially the bathroom and this bedroom, should be fumigated with moxa for forty-nine days. These two moxa sticks will be enough for tonight. When daybreak comes, go find a Chinese medicine clinic and buy some more."
Wang Donglai took the moxa stick, took out his cell phone, and said:
"Young Master, please say it again and I'll take a note."
"I'll send it to your phone later. There's a recipe for a Chinese herbal tea that boosts yang energy. I'll also send it to you. Then boil some water for him to drink according to this recipe."
Shi Can is to Wang Dong,
"As for school...don't go to school for the next two months. If you feel like you've been staying home too long and can't keep up with your studies, take a leave of absence this year. Your studies are important, but your life is more important."
Wang Donglai nodded solemnly and replied, "Okay."
"By the way, let's burn some more paper money for this little brother's great-grandfather."
Shi Chan added,
"The old man has long gone to where he should have been. He showed up twice to rescue him, but he was forced back both times. It's very heartbreaking. When my little brother gets better, remember to pay your respects to the old man more often. The old man loves him very much. If he didn't love him enough, he wouldn't have paid such a high price to save him."
When talking about Wang Hexu's great-grandfather, tears welled up in Wang Donglai and Li Xiaotong's eyes.
"My grandfather had a strange temper. He was very strict with my father and didn't have a good relationship with my mother. But he loved his grandchildren, loved me very much, and was also good to my wife. When he was about to die, he couldn't recognize people anymore. No matter who he held, he would call my wife and me by our names."
Wang Donglai looked at Wang Hexu who was sleeping and said,
"If my family were lucky enough to have four generations living under one roof, he would definitely spoil the children to the heavens."
Li Xiaotong went to get a lighter, lit the moxa stick, and used the smoke from the moxa stick to smoke Wang Hexu's room.
The moxa sticks had a strong smell when they were burning. Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can didn't like it very much, so they left the room first.
"Are you guys going out tonight?"
Wang Donglai asked Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can,
"If you're not going out, just stay at home. We have two guest rooms. Although they're a little small, they're still quite comfortable. The bedding is ready, and the house is cleaned regularly, so it'll be ready in no time."
Lin Zhuyue shook her head and rejected Wang Donglai's kindness:
"It's not time to rest yet. Although we have brought your son's soul back, the K3 bus is still running. If we don't deal with it, your son's situation will not be safe."
"We both need to study this K3 bus carefully. Let's stay at the hotel tonight and not bother you any more."
Wang Donglai said: "Then I'll take you there..."
"No, we can go by ourselves."
Shi Can said to Wang Donglai,
"I've added your number to my whitelist. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Don't be afraid to bother me. For us, failing on a mission is more terrifying than not getting enough rest."
Wang Donglai still sent Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can downstairs and even to the car. Only after their car left the community did he turn around and walk home.
Lin Zhuyue sat in the co-pilot seat and said:
"We haven't booked a hotel yet..."
Shi Can was driving. He handed his phone to Lin Zhuyue and said:
"Just book now. See if there are any better hotels nearby."
Lin Zhuyue took the phone, opened a group-searching app, and searched for hotels. Dongli City had so many hotels that a long list popped up, overwhelming Lin Zhuyue.
Lin Zhuyue muttered, "Couple's room with a king-size bed...?"
Shi Chan stepped on the brake.
He turned his head and looked at Lin Zhuyue meaningfully.
"Oh, no, that's not what I meant..."
Lin Zhuyue raised her hand to cover her mouth, but she soon realized that she couldn't defend herself if she covered her mouth, so she put her hand down and explained,
"It's just... a lot of these indecent things popped up when I was searching, and I'm a little curious... No, no, I'm not curious at all-"
Lin Zhuyue wanted to strangle himself.
Shi Can no longer looked at her and said sarcastically:
"I guess so. With your slow brain, you can't even think of that. For you, holding hands and kissing is the most extreme form of love."
Lin Zhuyue was stunned for a moment and asked angrily:
"Why did you start making personal attacks?"
Shi Can stretched out his hand and said:
"Give me the mint. It's in the groove under the door handle."
He needs to eat something cool to cool down.
Shi Can has always been proud of his young and energetic body, but such a body also has its disadvantages. It is very reactive. If there is anything unclean in his mind, he will immediately feel like there is a fire burning in his body.
Lin Zhuyue handed him the mint, looked down at her phone, and quickly booked a room. It was a standard room, with white sheets, white pillows, and a white quilt. Aside from some extras at the headboard, there was nothing wrong with it.
After checking in and entering the guest room, Shi Chan immediately went to take a cold shower. After the shower, he walked out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, unscrewed it and poured it down his thirsty throat.
Lin Zhuyue was wearing pajamas, sitting at a round table by the window, searching for information on her laptop.
Shi Can sighed, walked over and asked:
"Any progress?"
"Well, I found some stuff."
Lin Zhuyue turned the computer over so that the thin screen with a narrow frame was facing Shi Can and said,
"Dongli City Municipal High School has a century-long history, but Wang Hexu didn't attend the main campus, but the North District branch. The branch has only been established for fifteen years. The area where the branch is located is very remote. Fifteen years ago, it was just a village. Today, the only economic force it has is brought by the North District branch."
"That is to say, fifteen years ago, there was no school or hospital here, just a dilapidated village. There was no K3 bus in the village, only the 16 bus, which was notoriously dirty and messy."
"However, there are some old news on the Internet, and those news reports show traces of the K3 bus."
Lin Zhuyue said to Shi Can,
"Fifteen years ago, bus route K3 was a city-circling route, with its starting and ending stops both in Lishan, where the Dongli City Funeral Home and Crematorium are located."
"So, I looked up some scary stories online about the K3 bus, saying it's a bus you should never ride, not for living people. One anonymous user claimed they were on the last bus, and while they were sitting on it, they realized the passengers and driver were actually paper dolls, so they got off in terror."
Shi Chan took the computer and looked at the information on it without any expression.
"Many people said there had been accidents on K3 Road before."
Lin Zhuyue raised her head, looked at Shi Can's collarbone with water dripping down it, bit her lip, then immediately turned her eyes away guiltily and said,
"But I can't find any specific news, so I wonder if it's just not reported... Many accidents and deaths go unreported, so we might need to use official resources to investigate."
Shi Can handed the computer back to Lin Zhuyue and said:
"Then check it out. Call the logistics center. You go ahead and call. I'll go to the front desk and get another room..."
If Lin Zhuyue continued to stare at him like this, he was afraid that he would not be able to control his beastly nature and eat her alive tonight. It would be safer to book another room.
Shi Can picked up his phone and ID card, and just as he reached the door, he turned around and asked:
"After completing the mission, I want to go back to my hometown, my mother's hometown. You can come with me... I'll take you to meet someone who's half a Ling family member. He has some of your things. You already have the keys, and it's almost time for those things to be returned to their original owners."
