Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Why Refusing Money?_1
Ding Jiawang hoisted up Jia Yuan, Qin Sisi picked up the candlestick, and Ye You perched on Qin Sisi’s shoulder. The group left the ancient and dilapidated wooden hut.
The hut returned to normal, its window once again burnt. It would likely be demolished soon.
They erged from the secluded, dark path where Ding Jiawang’s private car was quietly parked.
He laid his sister in the back seat. Qin Sisi also climbed into the back seat, then Ye You’s claw drew near to Jia Yuan’s forehead, and a faint blue light slowly infused in.
A mont later, Jia Yuan opened her eyes slowly. Her long eyelashes fluttered a few tis and she sat up abruptly, exclaiming in panic, "A ghost, a ghost, I saw it."
Qin Sisi calmly patted her shoulder and gently said, "Indeed, there was a ghost, but I have killed it. I also brought back Brother nglei’s soul. Everything’s fine now."
Jia Yuan looked at Qin Sisi in surprise and finally her face gradually returned to normal. She stamred, "Sister Mage, I saw that ghost, it’s terrifying."
Qin Sisi knew that being younger, Jia Yuan, even though she earlier understood her brother had his soul drawn away by a ghost and believed in the existence of ghosts in the world, had a different impact from seeing one with her own eyes.
Witnessing such horrifying and terrifying scenes could leave a deep psychological shadow that might take a long ti to fade.
After a mont’s thought, Qin Sisi, holding Jia Yuan’s hand, told her, "Jia Yuan, the appearance of ghosts is usually terrifying, but that doesn’t an they will necessarily harm people. Ghosts out for revenge, carry out their grudges against the ones who hard them.
In general, ghosts won’t easily enter a stranger’s house, you’ve never done anything wrong, and your father has placed many protective items in the house, so rest assured, you’ll be safe."
nglei was harrowed by the ghost because he wandered into the haunted house after getting drunk. We’re now going to return his soul to his body, and he will recover soon."
Following Qin Sisi’s explanation and persuasion, Jia Yuan’s panic about seeing the ghost dissipated significantly. The rest would have to be washed away by ti.
Qin Sisi also knew that she was speaking of a typical situation, where there are bad people in the world, there are evil spirits in the netherworld, but for Jia Yuan, the most important thing was to calm her down.
Ding Jiawang started the car and drove Qin Sisi and Jia Yuan back to the hospital where nglei was staying.
Now close to four in the morning, Qin Sisi was sowhat anxious. After saying goodbye to the brother and sister of Ding, the three of them hurried towards Ding Jiawang’s ward.
In their haste, Ding Jiawang pushed the door with a loud noise which startled nglei’s father, who was sleeping on the couch. His worry of the past few days made his heart beat wildly.
He massaged his temples helplessly and said, trying to suppress his annoyance, "Jiawang, what are you doing at this late hour?"
nglei’s mother, who was sleeping inside, also put on her clothes and ca out. It was then Qin Sisi and Jia Yuan entered the ward.
Before nglei’s mother could ask anything, Jia Yuan had already rushed to her and, panting heavily, said, "Aunty, we’ve brought Brother nglei’s soul back, let us save him quickly!"
Qin Sisi looked at Jia Yuan speechlessly. The young girl had blurted out such a thing that nglei’s mother might take them for lunatics.
They had told them they were going to find nglei’s spirit when they left, but despite nglei’s mother’s warnings, Qin Sisi could tell that they hadn’t taken it seriously. In other words, they didn’t believe that nglei had lost his soul, thus showing no interest in their expedition.
In reality, nglei’s mother hadn’t seen them as mad but rather, ntally unstable, pitiful individuals.
"Jia Yuan, I know you care for nglei, but that doesn’t an you can speak nonsense. Go ho for now, and I’ll call you when nglei wakes up," nglei’s mother said politely but with an underlying sense of detachnt.
Jia Yuan held onto nglei’s mother’s hand and continued anxiously, "Auntie, everything I said is true. You have to believe ."
nglei’s mother frowned and though she didn’t respond, she exchanged a glance with nglei’s father. Both their faces conveyed their impatience.
Ding Jiawang, being a robust young man, felt disappointed. Despite them having gone through great lengths and risks to bring back nglei’s soul, his parents showed such attitude. He didn’t even feel the urge to defend his sister.
Qin Sisi stayed the calst, perhaps since she had already experienced too much disbelief and had grown used to it.
She walked up to nglei’s mother, took back Jia Yuan’s hand and looked coldly at nglei’s mother, then said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Give
twenty minutes. If I can’t wake up nglei within this ti, we will leave imdiately."
nglei’s mother showed a slight change in attitude. Although she didn’t believe in spirits, she thought it wouldn’t hurt to give it a try. It was only a matter of twenty minutes.
Just as she was about to agree, nglei’s father impatiently interrupted, "Enough! I’ve seen many con artists like you. You’re just after money, right? The doctors can’t do anything, what can you do?"
Qin Sisi turned critical, took a step back, and then turned her gaze from nglei’s mother to nglei’s father. She said forcefully, "If I cannot cure nglei, I won’t take a penny. His life or death has nothing to do with . However, both of you must be very clear that today, if I walk out of this door, nglei will never wake up. And then, you will be the ones who killed your son."
nglei was their biggest weakness. Only by threatening them with nglei’s safety could she make them change their attitudes.
She intended to say that she wouldn’t ask for money, but thought again, why shouldn’t she take money for saving a life using her abilities?
Upon hearing this, nglei’s mother trembled and unease appeared in her expression. She only had one child and if anything happened to him, she wouldn’t be able to go on living.
So, she finally agreed and said, "Okay then, please have a look at my son. If you can really wake him up, we’ll reward you handsoly."
Then, she turned to her husband to persuade him, "What’s the harm in waiting just a little while more? Let her try, even if it doesn’t work, we won’t lose anything!"
