Her voice was trembling, and her small body trembled along with it.
Grandma Qin happened to be holding a fruit tray and saw her granddaughter frightened. She glared at Qin Lie and thought to herself, "Look at what he's done!"
Then she gave him a signal, indicating that he should comfort her.
Qin Lie raised an eyebrow, reached out, and lightly touched her smooth forehead. He casually said, "It's alright. As long as you don't draw talismans or capture spirits in front of him."
Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou trembled even more. She whispered, "I just used an Exorcism Talisman on Seventh Elder Brother, and Eldest Brother saw it!"
Oh no, she's really going to turn into pieces now.
The area below the mountain is too dangerous.
She wanted to go back and cry.
Upon hearing her words, Qin Lie was also sowhat surprised. His eyebrows furrowed, and he lifted her chin, looking at her with a serious expression. He asked, "Why did you use an Exorcism Talisman on Seventh Elder Brother?"
Seventh Elder Brother is not in good health. Shouldn't you give him a talisman for protection instead?
Zhouzhou didn't understand, so she obediently replied, "Because there is evil fortune on Seventh Elder Brother's leg. It's because of this that he can't walk."
After hearing this, Qin Lie and Grandma Qin exchanged glances.
Grandma Qin was also filled with surprise and confusion. She asked, "Evil fortune?"
She didn't know what had happened in Hu City or that Zhouzhou could draw talismans. Qin Lie briefly explained to her about Qin Rui's attempt to steal his luck.
They had witnessed his unfortunate state over the past few years, and Grandma Qin had always been puzzled about why this sudden change had occurred, considering that he used to have good luck.
After hearing about this matter, they finally understood what had happened. Moreover, when they heard that Zhouzhou had lured out and eliminated the evil god, they broke out in a cold sweat. Grandma Qin hurriedly embraced Zhouzhou, holding her hand tightly, feeling lingering fear.
This child is really bold. Isn't she afraid that she might not be able to handle it?
An evil god—it sounds really eerie.
Feeling her nervousness, Zhouzhou looked up at her and kissed her chin. In a soft voice, she said, "Grandma, don't be afraid. I'm very capable. I've dealt with all the spirits on the mountain!"
As she spoke, she puffed up her little chest with pride, her triumphant appearance making Grandma Qin chuckle. She kissed Zhouzhou's smooth forehead.
Qin Lie said, "In short, Zhouzhou really understands so mystical techniques."
Upon hearing this, even Grandpa Qin, who was sitting on the side reading the newspaper, looked over. After a mont, he stood up and said, "Let's talk in the study."
Qin Lie nodded and walked towards the study. Grandma Qin hurriedly carried Zhouzhou and followed.
Sensing that sothing was amiss, Zhouzhou blinked her eyes and looked at them, her attention shifting away.
Grandpa Qin looked at Zhouzhou, trying hard to soften his tone, and said, "Zhouzhou, can you explain to Grandpa what you an by this evil fortune you ntioned?"
"It's the evil fortune, the black dirty stuff. If it's present, people will get sick and have bad luck. Seventh Elder Brother has evil fortune on his leg, so his leg beca ill."
This kind of thing is hard for ordinary people to understand. Grandpa Qin tried his best to follow her line of thought and asked, "So you an if this evil fortune is present elsewhere, he may have problems in other parts of his body, but his leg will be fine, right?"
Zhouzhou nodded and shook her head, "Not necessarily. If the evil fortune is in the ridians, and the ridians are interconnected, his leg may still have problems."
Grandpa Qin nodded, understanding her aning. Then he asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Just now, you also ntioned that this evil fortune is not innate but artificial, right?"
Upon hearing the question, Grandma Qin's heart also tightened.
Zhouzhou nodded, "That's right. According to Seventh Elder Brother, was his leg not good from birth?"
Grandma Qin nodded and said, "But it wasn't detected when he was born. We only found out when he was learning to walk."
Saying this, she felt a sense of self-bla. If they had discovered it earlier, it would have been better.
Zhouzhou patted her hand to comfort her and said, "Grandma, don't be sad. This is man-made. Even if it was detected, the result would have been the sa."
Doctors only know dicine, not mysticism. Even if they knew, they would be helpless.
Grandma Qin felt even more distressed and anxiously asked, "Then, Zhouzhou, can you cure Little Seven's leg?"
"Yes." Zhouzhou pouted and said, "I just said I can cure it, but none of you believed ."
Seeing this, Grandma Qin's heart imdiately eased, and she was lted by her. She kissed Zhouzhou's chubby face a few tis and said, "Grandma was wrong. We shouldn't have doubted you, Zhouzhou. Grandma apologizes, I'm sorry."
"It's okay." Zhouzhou generously waved her hand, not angry at all. She held her hand and swung her dangling feet, saying, "Dad and Grandpa don't need to worry either. It's easily treatable. Give thirty-one days, and I can make Seventh Elder Brother stand up. But, the person behind this mischief needs to be found. Otherwise, if they act again, Seventh Elder Brother will still get sick."
"Mmm." Grandpa Qin's face turned serious. He didn't expect his grandson to have been hard by soone.
"Does this person have any distinguishing features? How did they do it?" he asked.
Zhouzhou thought for a mont and said, "This person probably doesn't understand mysticism themselves. They likely obtained it from elsewhere, so in that case, they generally need to rely on an item to harm others."
Just like Qin Rui stealing Qin Lie's luck, they couldn't take it directly. Instead, they used his hair to obtain his breath and allowed the evil god to take over.
Items... There are people cleaning the house every day, so it's unlikely there would be anything else unless that person brought it in under a legitimate pretext. That's why they didn't notice.
For example, a gift.
Qin Lie also thought of this point. He narrowed his eyes and said, "I will investigate this matter."
"Oh, should we tell Fourth Elder Brother and Fourth Elder Sister-in-law?"
Grandma Qin thought for a mont and shook her head, "Let's not tell them for now. Your Fourth Elder Brother is a doctor himself. These past few years, he has flown all over the world to find a doctor who could cure Little Seven. Fourth Elder Sister-in-law has also suffered a lot because of Little Seven's condition.
If she finds out that Little Seven was hard by soone, I'm afraid her emotions will be even more devastated."
What she didn't say was that when Little Seven was born prematurely, the fortune teller said he had a weak destiny, so they didn't have grand celebrations like the full moon banquet. Only relatives and friends ca for a visit.
The gift givers were mostly close acquaintances.
If it turns out to be one of them, it would be another blow to her.
Just thinking about it made her feel heartbroken for her grandson and daughter-in-law.
Thinking about treating Qin Feng's illness, Zhouzhou thought of sothing that had just happened and pitifully held her head, saying, "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, you have to protect . I don't want to turn into little pieces."
"What are you talking about?" Grandpa Qin was puzzled.
Qin Lie's face looked sowhat embarrassed, and he cleared his throat.
Seeing his reaction, Grandma Qin snorted lightly, "Ask him."
Grandpa Qin looked over, "What's going on?"
Qin Lie didn't expect that a joke from the past would turn into the current situation. He didn't have much confidence in explaining it.
Upon hearing it, Grandpa Qin glared at him and sternly said, "Childish."
Indeed, it was childish.
To frighten a little child like that, it's amazing that he could co up with such an idea. Grandma Qin couldn't help but feel both angry and amused.
She looked down at Zhouzhou and comforted her, "Zhouzhou, don't be afraid. Actually, your dad was just teasing you. Calling you a little brat doesn't an he wants to cut you into pieces. It's just a way of addressing you, like calling you a little girl or a young lady."
Is that so?
Zhouzhou's ears perked up, and she looked at Qin Lie with anticipation. When she saw him nod, she imdiately felt relieved.
"That's good then." She let out a sigh of relief, and a hint of color returned to her little face.
Grandma Qin found it amusing and ruffled her head, "Don't worry, your Eldest Brother is very nice, and he likes you a lot too."
The eldest grandson appeared gentle and had a good temper, but that was only towards family mbers. Outside, he focused solely on his studies and was indifferent to others.
The fact that he paid attention to Zhouzhou multiple tis indicated his interest in her.
On the other hand, it would be hard for anyone not to like Zhouzhou since she was so adorable.
Zhouzhou nodded, and after speaking, she slid down from Grandma Qin's leg, opened the door, and walked out.
Just as she stepped out, she happened to see Qin Ren passing by the door. Her gaze slowly moved up and landed on his hand. Her pupils imdiately contracted, and she quickly slamd the door shut, darting into Qin Lie's arms, tightly hugging his neck.
"Dad, save !"
