Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 138 Mo Li's Expectations

Yushe’s Torch Festival has become a hot topic these days.

Ran Qing could hear people discussing it at school, on the street, and in the vegetable market.

There are obviously not many people as boring as Ran Qing.

Most of them like to have fun.

That night, Ran Qing once again saw the huge and strange evil spirit appear in the house, digging out something from his stomach with its sharp and long claws.

With the help of two copper coins, Ran Qing was finally able to open his eyes and see the monster clearly - he couldn't even open his eyelids before.

But I could only open my eyelids.

How many more copper coins are needed to be able to move my whole body and fight the monster directly?
Ran Qing lay on the bed in a daze, watching the monster disappear into the darkness, and fell asleep again unknowingly.

I don’t know how long I slept soundly like this.

When footsteps approached and a girl in a thin nightgown walked into the room, Ran Qing, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up.

After he sat up on the bed, he subconsciously looked at the girl at the door.

The two looked at each other.

For some reason, Ran Qing actually saw a hint of expectation on the girl's face.

——What is Mo Li expecting?
Ran Qing was a little confused.

"What's the matter?" Ran Qing asked curiously.

Hearing Ran Qing's calm question, the girl immediately looked disappointed.

She lowered her eyelids and mumbled, "Well... seeing that you hadn't woken up yet, I guessed that you overslept, so I came over to wake you up."

Ran Qing looked at the sunlight coming through the crack in the door and the digital time on the clock.

He actually slept through the whole night again...

As a ghost walker, it is extremely rare to sleep through the night.

But after seeing his mother the night before, he also overslept.

Ran Qing frowned as he recalled what happened last night, and said slowly: "I did see my mother, she was really..."

But after seeing his mother, he would fall into an extremely deep sleep and sleep until dawn.

He couldn't talk to his mother. He could only see his mother standing by the bed, caressing his cheek lovingly and tenderly, feeling sorry for him being hurt by the monster.

The mother's arrival was indeed related to that monster.

She could see that monster hurting her son and it broke her heart...

Ran Qing murmured, "I won't be wrong. It's definitely not a monster."

His mother's touch made him sleep peacefully and comfortably.

When he woke up now, he even felt a warm warmth in his heart, as if he had fallen asleep in his mother's arms. That kind of peace and tranquility was the warmth that Ran Qing only had in his childhood memories.

He could even clearly feel that his complexion had improved a lot.

The appearance of his mother seemed to take away his pain and fatigue.

Ran Qing murmured, "I got two copper coins and saw my mother. Maybe if I get two more copper coins, I can wake up and talk to her..."

At this moment, Ran Qing's desire to collect more copper coins reached its peak.

He immediately got out of bed and took out the gloomy fortune-telling card.

The center of the gloomy little wooden sign was completely blank.

The red word "Life" has been sent out by Ran Qing.

But there is no news until now.

Mo Li asked curiously, "Where are we going next?"

When Ran Qing cast the curse last night, she was watching TV.

After a few seconds of silence, Ran Qing said, "Huaga Tiankeng..." Huaga is a remote town near Yuezhao.

It is not far from the village where Ran Qing was born. When Ran Qing was a child in the village, he would occasionally hear people mention Huaga Township.

But he had never been there and had no knowledge of the place.

However, these place names with "Ga" are all places where ethnic minorities live, and are often remote and difficult to travel to.

Even if you take a minibus, it will probably take at least two to three hours.

That word "life" bounces all the way over...how long will it take?
Ran Qing suddenly became anxious.

But the girl beside the bed noticed something and said in surprise: "Hey? Ran Qing, why is your leg not lame anymore?"

The night before yesterday, Ran Qing was injured in the Taoist temple while hunting ghosts. He fell and got bruised all over, his ankle was swollen, and a small piece of flesh was missing from his knee.

Ran Qing had been limping all day yesterday. When Teacher Jin saw the scratches on his face, she worriedly called him into the office to ask if Ran Qing had been bullied by some hooligans.

"My brother-in-law is the chief of the police station. If you're bullied, tell me and I'll take care of it!"

Teacher Jin was quite angry when he saw his beloved student being "bullied".

The public security in Yuezhao was relatively chaotic in the 1990s.

Although in key middle schools like the No. 3 Middle School in the city, you won’t encounter the situation of collecting protection fees.

However, in some schools in the city with poor school spirit, students who claim to be "gangsters" are extremely common.

Ran Qing's face covered with bruises and his limping appearance yesterday angered Teacher Jin. Ran Qing had to spend time explaining and comforting Teacher Jin before he could convince her that he was not bullied by the gangsters.

Now, only one day has passed, and Ran Qing is no longer lame.

The way he walked just now was clearly that of a normal person.

Mo Li turned on the light, looked at the boy in surprise, and said, "Those scratches on your face have healed..."

She walked over curiously, opened Ran Qing's collar without any hesitation, and observed Ran Qing's shoulders and chest.

All the scratches on the boy's shoulders and chest disappeared.

Mo Li stared in surprise: "You slept for so long, and when you woke up your injury was healed... Did your mother help you heal it?"

The girl's surprise made Ran Qing's heart tremble.

He quickly bent down and pulled the gauze off his knee.

The wound on the knee was still there, but the thick blood scab had begun to peel off, as if it had been resting for more than ten days.

This abnormal self-healing speed also made Ran Qing's eyes widen.

Recalling the warmth in his dream last night, the boy was stunned for a moment.

Is it his mother who is helping him?

Ran Qing looked at the time and took a deep breath.

"It's Friday."

There are still two days left. On Sunday, I can go to the hospital to find that man and ask him clearly.

Or I can go to the Torch Festival tomorrow and try to run into other unorthodox people.

Mo Li could also help ask, at least get some useful information from those people.

Something must have happened in Yuezhao ten years ago.

Gather together the Sixth Aunt, Ran Jianfei, Lu Baiyin and other evil people.

There are even sorcerers from Southeast Asia.

These are just the tip of the iceberg of what Ran Qing currently knows.

Only those who witnessed it know how many evil practitioners there were in Yuezhao City ten years ago.
