Chapter 28: The Child's Pillow
"What else do you want? She's okay again! Lu Menglin frowned and asked, impatience written all over her face.
I broke free from Han Jiuchen's embrace and said angrily, "Pay for your life." β
Lu Menglin stood in front of the windowsill, the expression on her face changed from disbelief to a sarcastic smile.
"Paying for your life?" Lu Menglin sneered, "You live well, what kind of life do you pay?" β
"Gu Ting's life."
"She? The blame is self-inflicted, if she is obedient, she will not die...... Ahh
I couldn't bear it anymore and shot her, even though I knew it didn't work, but I didn't do anything about it, and I felt bad.
"Slut!" Lu Menglin was really not hurt, but she attacked me angrily.
Han Jiuchen got up and stood in front of me, and said coldly, "Lu Menglin, that's enough." β
Lu Menglin suddenly stopped moving, "Han Jiuchen, you have always been like this, always ...... to others"
Lu Menglin looked wronged and wanted to cry or not.
Han Jiuchen was unmoved, "Put away your pitiful look, it's useless to me." β
Lu Menglin immediately smiled and snorted coldly, "I knew that you had no conscience." β
Lu Menglin sat on the windowsill, swaying her long legs and said, "Say, what do you want to know?" β
Han Jiuchen didn't talk nonsense, and got straight to the point, "Where is the child in Lu Chang's spiritual sense?" β
Lu Menglin's face froze, and she said with a different face: "I don't know." β
"Lu Menglin, I have already completed the spirit with Lu Chang," Han Jiuchen said, "I know very well what Tang Xuan also ordered, and which ones you privately instructed him to do." β
"You threaten me?!" Lu Menglin said angrily.
"If you don't care about Tang Xuanyi, you can not accept my threat." Han Jiuchen said.
Lu Menglin's face turned blue and white for a while, but finally compromised.
"Baixing Road, New District, Fuyu Zhaili in the antique market."
Lu Menglin wanted to leave after speaking, but Han Jiuchen took the first step to type out a rune paper and sealed the window.
"Ahh
"Did I say I'm going to let you go?" Han Jiuchen's cold was to the bone.
"Han Jiuchen! You've backtracked! Lu Menglin was obviously panicked.
"You should stop after Gu Ting dies," Han Jiuchen walked towards Lu Menglin step by step, "Now, hand over the corpse pill and go back." β
"You want me dead?!"
"I'm giving you a chance to reincarnate."
Lu Menglin snorted, looked up to the sky and roared, black hair grew all over her body again, and the whole person was like a chimpanzee.
Seeing this, Han Jiuchen quickly stepped back and covered me to retreat to the door.
He warned me not to run around, and then turned to face Lu Menglin.
Han Jiuchen turned his wrist, and the heavenly punishment was out.
Without waiting for Han Jiuchen to make a move, a black mist rushed in from outside the window, surrounding Lu Menglin
In the end, the black mist turned into a big hand, grabbed Lu Menglin's neck, and dropped her in mid-air.
Under the big hand of the black mist, Lu Menglin's neck was soaked with blood.
Lu Menglin completely lost her anger at this time, and all her black hair receded, and she returned to a delicate beauty.
"Ah Xuan...... Hahaha...... You actually hurt me for her......" Lu Menglin laughed miserably, and her big eyes slid down her face, "Ah Xuan...... Tang Xuan also ...... You really want me dead......"
"You shouldn't let Lu Chang make a move on her," Tang Xuanyi's voice came from the black mist, which was extremely gentle, "Lin'er, go all the way." β
The big hand pushed it away slightly, and then expanded into a large net, enveloping Lu Menglin.
"Stop!" Han Jiuchen seemed to see what Tang Xuan also wanted to do, and immediately waved the heavenly punishment.
Unexpectedly, just as Han Jiuchen was attacking, a trace of black mist rushed towards me.
Han Jiuchen immediately turned around and took me into his arms to avoid the trace of black mist.
"Ahh
Lu Menglin let out a miserable scream.
Han Jiuchen and I looked at each other at the same time, only to see that Lu Menglin was only a white bone left.
Black mist scurrying around the office.
"Tang Xuanyi! Shameless of you! Han Jiuchen's angry aura spread.
"You gave up saving her," Tang Xuanyi's voice came from the black mist, "You are the culprit who killed her, hahahaha-"
The black fog receded through the window.
The entire office began to distort, and for a moment of dizziness, Han Jiuchen and I seemed to have entered a teleportation channel.
When we had a down-to-earth feeling, the two of us were already standing at the door of the teacher's office building.
"What just happened?"
Han Jiuchen ignored me and only said, "Don't you go in?" Don't you want to talk about internships? β
"Do you think I still have the heart to talk about internships?"
Han Jiuchen looked at me with a posture of breaking the casserole and asking the end, and sighed lightly, "If you want to know something, ask." β
We both said as we walked inside.
I asked first: "Lu Menglin likes Tang Xuanyi?" β
After today's incident, I can roughly guess it.
The Lu Chang that Han Jiuchen said just now is probably the impostor.
That ghost raped me, most likely because Lu Menglin gave an order behind Tang Xuanyi's back, so she was afraid to let Tang Xuanyi know.
"Yes." Han Jiuchen admitted.
"But didn't Chu Xuan say that she is your fiancΓ©e?"
"It's just a family marriage," Han Jiuchen said, "I have no intention of her, and I have avoided it several times, but Tang Xuan has also taken advantage of the loophole." β
"So...... Lu Menglin targeted me because of Tang Xuanyi? β
"That's right." Han Jiuchen nodded, "Tang Xuan also chose you to give birth to a ghost fetus for him, Lu Menglin was jealous, in addition to Gu Ting, your classmate named Dong Ling was also Lu Menglin's hands and feet." β
"No wonder she scolded me for being a junior......" finally figured it out, "It's all Tang Xuanyi, why did he choose me!" β
"Probably because you have a special physique." Han Jiuchen said.
We came to the third floor, at the door of my tutor's office.
"Go in, I'll wait for you outside." Han Jiuchen said.
"Oh."
β¦β¦
Ten minutes later, I took the signed internship contract and went back to the compound with Han Jiuchen.
This internship turned out to be the supernatural variety show that Han Jiuchen and Zhong Hengyuan said.
The contract was prepared and sent by the Zhong family, and the content should be that Zhong Hengyuan had communicated with Han Jiuchen in advance, and all kinds of terms were very conscientious.
However, it takes time to prepare for the project, and it will take more than two months for the official recording.
"Let me tell you, my mentor looks at me as if I have a lot of money outside!"
On the way back, I complained to Han Jiuchen.
Han Jiuchen chuckled as he drove.
"What are you laughing at? You are notorious, you know? I gave him a blank look, "The person who sent the contract said that he didn't dare to go to the compound, for fear of meeting you, so he bothered me to make a trip."
As he was talking, Chu Xuan's call came in.
Han Jiuchen used a Bluetooth headset to connect the phone.
I heard him say something about the children's pillow, and guessed that it was the one Lu Menglin said just now.
When he hung up the phone, I asked, "What is the origin of that child's pillow?" β
Han Jiuchen told me that he learned about the existence of a child pillow from Lu Chang's consciousness through the common spirit.
In the late Qing Dynasty, there was a female ghost named Gu Qingfei, who was originally the daughter of a big family, but she didn't know people clearly, and mistook the beast for a beloved, not to mention the loss of body and mind, and also conceived a sinful obstacle.
After she became pregnant, she was reluctant to have an abortion, let alone speak out, so she was sent by her family to a village in the countryside to give birth.
In October, she finally gave birth to a baby boy, but the child was born weak and died early at the age of three.
When she lost her child, she was depressed all day long, as if she had lost her heart.
Later, after being reminded by the maid around him, he found a master and sealed the child's soul into a child's pillow, and slept on the pillow every day, as if the child was still around.
Years later, when she died, her family dismissed the child's pillow as a bad thing and abandoned the wilderness.
And the child has been sealed for too long, and he has become angry, turned into a ghost, and cannot be reincarnated.
"The master who sealed that child is Tang Xuanyi," Han Jiuchen said, "There is no hole in the child's pillow." β
Back in the compound, Han Jiuchen packed some things and put them in the toolbox, and called the owner of the store where the child pillow was located, and made an appointment to go over immediately.
I didn't dare to leave anyone in the compound, so I followed him.
Twenty-five minutes later, we arrived at the gate of the antique market.
Han Jiuchen entered the antique store by phone, under the guidance of the boss.
This is a small shop with an area of only about ten square meters, with some pendants of high imitation copper coins hanging on the left wall, shelves and glass containers on the right, and the innermost cash register.
The boss said that the child's pillow was a bit evil, and he didn't dare to put it out and put it in the back room.
Han Jiuchen and I entered a small room under the leadership of the boss, and saw the child lying quietly on a wooden table.
It is a white and delicate work of art, from the overall point of view, the pillow is like a child lying on the couch, with the child's back as the pillow, the child's head rests on the left arm, the right hand holds a knot with a hydrangea, the forehead is open, and the expression is serene.
However, this one is different from the pictures I found on the Internet.
On the way here, I searched some pictures with my mobile phone, and the other children did not have any decoration on their faces, but this one, the child's eyebrows were set with a small ruby, and despite the age, this ruby still shines.
"Huh...... Is this different from anything else? As I spoke, I reached out my index finger and touched the ruby.
Seeing this, Han Jiuchen's face changed suddenly, and he yelled: "Don't touch-"
He came to me with a lunge and reached out to pull my hand back, but the owner of the antique shop suddenly stepped forward and turned around, blocking his movements.
It was too late, and my fingertips had already touched this little gem, and suddenly a red light appeared, and the gem seemed to have life, and instantly grew red branches, and climbed up my entire arm along my fingers.
The feeling of being restrained came from my arm, and I was so frightened that I retreated again and again, trying to find Han Jiuchen for help, but found that he was fighting with the antique shop owner.
I was going to try to break the branches with my own hands, but as soon as my hands touched their surfaces, the pain caused me to bounce away, as if I had been pricked by a needle.
What scares me the most is not the pain, but the fact that I found out that this child pillow wants to suck me in!
