The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 355 Sister Hu is in Discomfort_1
Xiao Shu had just experienced something particularly complicated, and Li Qing could feel it too.
So many doctors consulted in the hospital, yet none could find a solution.
The mysterious middle-aged man from the Qi Family intervened, but even he could not resolve the issue.
Although the elderly Daoist only took a moment to act, it did not mean the issue was not serious.
Li Qing simply did not know how to respond to Qi Mengru’s gratitude.
He could only deal with it vaguely and put off the matter for later.
"Just now, Xiao Shu told me that he was trapped in a mirror, no matter how much he ran, he couldn’t get out!" Qi Mengru sighed lightly, "I didn’t expect that this problem would eventually fall on Xiao Shu."
Li Qing keenly noticed that there was more to Qi Mengru’s words, "Does Principal Qi know about these things?"
"You’re acquainted with that old Daoist, you must already know something. I won’t hide much from you," Qi Mengru sighed, "It’s a long story. Our Qi Family’s ancestral grave is on Purple Cloud Mountain, and unexpectedly, our ancestors’ tombs are located within the belly of Purple Cloud Mountain."
"Although I’m not very clear on how Xiao Shu encountered this issue, I suspect that it is closely related to these two things."
"To preserve our ancestors’ tombs, our family has taken many actions over the decades and centuries, such as altering the Feng Shui layout, constructing special formations and the like, so many that I can’t clearly enumerate them all."
"There are many things here that I’m not clear about, but similar incidents happened before, just not as severe as Xiao Shu’s."
Li Qing more or less understood Qi Mengru’s ambiguous explanation.
There was a Qi Family cemetery on Purple Cloud Mountain, dating back to the ancestors.
The Qi Family, in their desire to protect the ancestors and ensure the family’s prosperity, had brought about a lot of trouble.
"So, the mysterious death of the logistics department’s storekeeper is actually because of your family’s ancestral grave?" Li Qing asked.
Qi Mengru nodded her head, then shook it, speaking with a complex expression, "Although I have no concrete evidence, I suspect... it should be, something might have come out from underground."
"Xiao Shu also mentioned falling into a mirror, and the incidents at the logistics department before are all related to mirrors."
"But I’ve been away from home for many years, and I’m not detailed about many things. This time, if not for Xiao Shu’s severe condition, I wouldn’t have made that call."
In the end, to arrive at such an outcome, made Li Qing very uncomfortable.
The Qi Family’s ambition to sustain their lineage through the ages had already cost the lives of several storekeepers.
If not for the old Daoist’s intervention to solve this problem,
he might have also suffered an incident there in the not too distant future.
"You all should rest early; it’s already very late, I’ll go back first," Li Qing said despondently.
Qi Mengru looked up at Li Qing and tried to persuade him to stay, "It’s very late, don’t go back. I’ll book a room nearby for you; you should rest early."
"No need," Li Qing declined Qi Mengru’s kindness, "It’s not that far."
Leaving the hospital, Li Qing drove straight back to the village.
It was already past ten at night, but Han Mei was still at Li Qing’s home.
Dragging his weary body through the door and seeing the two women, a smile naturally appeared on Li Qing’s face.
"Why haven’t you all gone to rest yet?"
"Sister Hu is worried about you, and I can’t sleep either," Wu Xingxing said, "Is that child okay?"
"It’s nothing serious, just a child being playful, fortunately, the rescue was timely," Li Qing said with a smile.
He deliberately concealed the strange and bizarre incident that had occurred.
If he were to speak of it, the two of them probably wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.
Especially Han Mei.
She would likely be even more afraid to sleep alone.
Li Qing suddenly slapped his thigh.
Shit, a misstep!
He really should have spiced up his story just now, then his sister-in-law definitely wouldn’t have gone back.
Maybe the three of them could have squeezed in together on one bed.
"What’s wrong, Qingzi?" Han Mei asked.
"I think I forgot to lock the door," Li Qing blurted out without thinking.
Now that the lie was out, it was obviously not possible to take it back.
A single lapse, and he missed a golden opportunity.
"Is everything okay?" Han Mei asked worriedly, "If it’s urgent, you can have one of the teachers living on campus help lock it."
"No worries, it’s just the hallway door. All the other doors inside are locked," said Li Qing.
"That’s good, as long as it’s nothing serious," Han Mei yawned and stretched, showing off her curves.
"You guys should sleep early. I need to get back. I’m dying of sleepiness here."
"Sister-in-law, it’s too dark. Let me walk you home!" Li Qing got up and said.
"Sure!"
Li Qing walked Han Mei to her doorstep; the two of them shared a discreet and tender moment in the darkness before he headed home.
Ever since Li Qing had made advances last time, Han Mei had completely opened up to him.
She no longer rejected Li Qing’s opportunistic advances but would even sometimes take the initiative to his pleasant surprise.
The next day.
Li Qing was busy with chores at home in the morning, and only got to the school in the afternoon.
He had mostly collected all the materials needed from the school over the last two days, and Li Qing could now adjust his timing freely.
Walking into the logistics department’s dorm, Li Qing still couldn’t help feeling a bit weird.
This place really was a bona fide haunted house.
Even though he knew the old Taoist priest had cleaned up the mess, he still felt uncomfortable about it. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"No, I have to find a chance to ask Principal Qi to help me switch dorms, living here just doesn’t feel right," muttered Li Qing as he organized what he needed and stuck his phone number on the window.
Then he left the logistics department, soaked up some sun on campus, and wandered around aimlessly.
When he strolled into the garden beneath the east side’s laboratory building, Li Qing suddenly saw an enchanting figure.
She was wearing a vintage dress, bending over to take pictures of flowers with her phone.
"Sister Hu!" Li Qing exclaimed in surprise, barely stopping himself from slapping that pert backside.
Sister Hu, who was busy taking pictures of the flowers from all angles with her phone, turned her head upon hearing him, "Qingzi, what are you doing here?"
"Just hanging around with nothing to do," Li Qing said with a smile, "Sister Hu, you look so beautiful today!"
"Oh come on," said Sister Hu, blushing at the unexpected compliment and revealing a girlish charm, with a flicker of tender emotions stirring in the depths of her eyes.
Li Qing moved closer and his palm gently brushed over Sister Hu’s tender arm, "You’re more beautiful than any of the flowers here!"
Even cheesy pickup lines have their potent charm at times.
Sister Hu pursed her lips slightly, the tenderness in her eyes becoming even more intense, feeling as if her whole being was about to melt.
"Stop it, you’re making me feel all flustered," whispered Sister Hu.
