Chapter 170: The Wasteland
"Sell goods, sell goods, there is a new embroidery thread today......! Hey, sister, why are you here?" On the street, the little boy who was carrying the heavy burden saw Murong Ni standing on the side, and walked over quickly.
Murong Ni took out a bag of spirit beads and said with a faint smile: "Get me some embroidery thread." ”
The seller looked at the bag containing the spirit beads in front of him, his face turned slightly red, and he pushed it back in the direction of Murong Ni, and then said, "Sister, you gave a lot more money to buy wine last time, and this embroidery thread is regarded as a gift from me." ”
So saying, the little boy put down the burden from his shoulders and scoured up a ball of embroidery thread from it.
Murong Ni's gaze swept into his burden, and then handed the spirit bead in his direction, and then said, "Get me some of these eggs too, you can keep the spirit beads." ”
The little boy looked shy, and said, "These are too many. ”
"Take it back and buy a new dress for my sister, it is my heart. Murong Ni smiled at him and said.
The little boy took the eggs from the basket and said, "By the way, Sister Ning, I remember that Fan Niangzi just bought eggs a few days ago, and she finished eating them so quickly?"
Murong Ni smiled, and then said: "I didn't buy it for myself, when I was in the Renxin Medical Center, I often saw Ping An come to get medicine for my grandfather, Dr. Xie told me about his situation, it is not easy for him to support this family with a child, so I want to buy some eggs to see him, but I don't know where his family lives." ”
Hearing this, the seller hurriedly said, "I know, I'll take Sister Ning with me!"
"In that case, then thank you in advance!" Murong Ni smiled.
It has been so many days since they came to Anping Town, and Murong Ni and Yu Jiu'er have gradually become familiar with the people in the town, and they still haven't found anything suspicious, so Murong Ni remembered Wang Ping'an's matter again.
Wang Ping'an's house was in a very remote place, and the seller took Murong Ni for a long time to arrive, and as soon as she came to this place, Murong Ni's eyebrows couldn't help frowning.
"Here...... Why is it so desolate?" Murong Ni couldn't help but ask.
She looked at the ground beneath her feet, and saw no vegetation growing, and the ground was bare, and as far as the eye could see, there was only a very simple hut.
The seller explained: "This has always been like this, I heard the older generation say that something happened here hundreds of years ago, it seems that there is some resentment or demonic energy, and it has always stayed here, and after a long time, it has led to no grass here, and the peace and life are miserable, after the death of my father and mother, I took my grandfather again, pawned the original house and lived for a period of time with the money in exchange, and I could only move to this ghost place." ”
Saying that, the seller said to Murong Ni mysteriously: "Sister Ning, I think Grandpa Wang's illness is caused by staying in this place for a long time, the old man is already old and has poor bones, and he is surrounded by these demonic resentments every day, it is strange not to fall ill, I am afraid that this disease can only be cured by the immortal masters in the Immortal Gate." ”
Hearing this, Murong Ni smiled at the seller, and then said: "Where are there so many strange forces and chaos, the front is Wang Ping'an's house, you are still busy selling goods, you don't have to go with me, go back quickly!"
"Sister Ning, you still don't want to stay in this place for a long time, it's terrible here!" the seller nodded towards Murong Ni and said carefully.
Murong Ni smiled: "Got it, hurry up and sell the goods!"
After the seller left, Murong Ni turned her head and looked at the house in front of her.
She quietly searched the past with her senses.
In the sea of knowledge, the whole room is shrouded in a kind of qi, but this is neither demonic qi nor resentment, but an obsession, according to the book, this obsession can be seen from the body of the dying person, and it should come from Wang Ping'an's grandfather.
Murong Ni's divine sense probed into the room.
"Grandpa, come and drink the medicine. Wang Ping'an sat in front of the bed with the old black bowl and helped the skinny old man up from the bed.
The old man was so thin that he was almost skinny, his eyes were deeply sunken, there was no light in his eyes, and there was something dark red stuck to his messy white hair, like blood.
"Grandpa, open your mouth, it's time for us to drink medicine. Wang Ping'an looked worried, and brought the medicine bowl to the old man, but the old man was still staring at the air in a daze, as if he was dead.
Seeing this scene, Wang Ping'an's nose was sore, and his eyes were red in a hurry.
"Grandpa, look at me, I'm safe, grandpa......"
Suddenly, a lot of blood dripped from the back of the old man's head, and it all fell into Wang Ping'an's hands, which made the already uncomfortable little boy even more desperate.
"Grandpa, grandpa!" Wang Ping'an hurriedly put the medicine bowl aside, and then took a dirty cloth from the table to wipe the blood on the back of the old man's head.
"Grandpa, don't scare me, Ping An can't live without grandpa anymore!"
Outside the house, Murong Ni's face darkened slightly.
The obsession was slowly dissipating, and the old man was dying.
"Grandpa!" Wang Ping'an called out in pain, and suddenly the door was pushed open, and there was a "squeak" sound.
He instinctively looked in the direction of the door of the house, and saw Murong Ni, dressed in red, standing at the door, carrying a basket of eggs in her hand.
"Sister Ning!" Wang Ping'an saw Murong Ni, as if he saw a life-saving straw, and hurriedly ran over.
"Sister Ning, can you watch my grandfather here, grandpa, he is sick again, I have to hurry up to find Doctor Xie, Sister Ning, I beg you for peace......" At this time, Wang Ping'an cried with a face.
Murong Ni hurriedly touched his head and said, "Go quickly, I'll watch it here." ”
As soon as Murong Ni's voice fell, Wang Ping'an glanced at her gratefully, and then ran quickly outside.
After Wang Ping'an left, Murong Ni's eyes turned to the old man lying on the bed who was about to die.
Time passed bit by bit, Wang Ping'an raced against time to run to the Renxin Medical Center, and rushed back with Xie Wenhan all the way, but when they rushed into the house, they saw that the eyes of the old man on the bed had regained some clarity, and Murong Ni was sitting on the edge of the bed, feeding him medicine.
Wang Ping'an was surprised for a long time, but Xie Wenhan reflected first, hurriedly carried the medicine box to the bedside, and looked at Murong Ni.
"Miss Ning, what happened just now?"
Murong Ni put the empty medicine bowl back on the table, looked at Xie Wenhan and said, "Soon after Ping An left, the old man's condition stabilized a little, I quickly gave him the medicine, and it was better." ”
