The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 392: Treating a Dead Horse as if it were Alive_1
Suddenly, she received a call from Principal Qi, which startled Li Qing.
Her son had fainted again.
Had the old master not yet purified that unclean thing in the logistics department?
"That master travels far and wide; I can’t get in touch with him," Li Qing said truthfully, "Don’t your family members have a way to deal with it?"
"No!" Principal Qi cried over the phone, "They’re not only at their wits’ end but even suggested locking Xiao Shu in the dungeon. Li Qing, please come and save him. You’re the only one I can turn to now!"
Li Qing felt a chill in her heart.
The Qi Family was indeed ruthless.
So they’re at the point of leaving Xiao Shu to fate!
But he was just a little child.
But the problem now was that without the old master, even if he went, he’d be helpless.
"It’s not that I don’t want to help, it’s just that I..." Li Qing was about to explain when suddenly he remembered some words the old master had said that day, and the blood taken from his finger, so he changed his mind, "Send me your location, I’ll be right there!"
It seemed from what the old master implied that day that his blood had a restraining effect on that kind of thing.
Now, it was a matter of clutching at straws.
If his blood had no effect, then he would have no other options.
After hanging up the phone, Li Qing secretly shared the situation with Han Mei.
However, he still concealed the possible effect of his blood.
Such news was too shocking, and besides, he had yet to confirm it.
"Sister-in-law, you must not speak of this to anyone else, don’t let anyone know. I’m not even sure what’s going on myself, so let’s not cause panic. I need to go check it out now," he said.
Han Mei instantly became anxious, "But what can you do if you go?"
"I’ll try to find that old master again. After all, it’s a human life we’re talking about," Li Qing said.
"Just be careful, don’t overdo it; these things can be really sinister," Han Mei warned with concern.
Li Qing nodded, "I’ll help if I can, and if I can’t, I won’t show off."
"Please be very careful," Han Mei said again.
Such inexplicable matters brought an unknown panic.
Li Qing nodded, mounted his motorcycle, and quickly headed to the county.
Principal Qi’s son was still in the county hospital.
Li Qing could now navigate to this place even with his eyes closed.
He hurried up to the fifth floor of the inpatient department and saw Principal Qi, who was squatting at the door, crying her heart out.
"Principal Qi!"
Li Qing called out to her as he approached.
Principal Qi suddenly looked up, her figure gaunt, her eyes red from crying, even her makeup had smeared.
"Li Qing!"
She cried out and rushed into Li Qing’s arms.
Li Qing froze.
The two full, soft mounds pressed against him, causing a slight tremor in his heart.
"Li Qing, you’re the only one who can save Xiao Shu, please, I beg you, save him," Principal Qi held Li Qing tightly, crying, "They... they say Xiao Shu has an incurable corpse poison and might turn into some kind of monster."
"They want to lock Xiao Shu in the dungeon, leave him to his own devices, or even... to burn him..."
"Li Qing, I can only beg you now, please save him. As long as Xiao Shu is alright, I will agree to any of your demands. Even if I have to sell everything I own, even if you want me to... whatever your conditions, I will fulfill them, I beg you."
Li Qing gently pushed Principal Qi away, "Don’t talk about this now; I’ll give it a try."
"But honestly, without the old master, I can only try; as for the outcome... I really can’t guarantee it."
"If you’re okay with it, I can start now."
"Also, if anything unexpected happens, I hope you can understand. Otherwise, I dare not make a move."
Principal Qi wiped the tears from her cheeks and nodded vigorously, "Please go ahead and try."
"How much worse could it get? They’re ready to burn Xiao Shu alive!"
Li Qing nodded, "What’s the situation inside now?"
"After my family came over, they set up a ritual to prevent anyone from entering," Principal Qi said.
"I’ll go in and take a look," Li Qing said in a deep voice.
At that moment, he felt a pressure as heavy as a mountain.
A young life was at stake; he couldn’t rest easy if he didn’t try to save it.
But to save, he really had no confidence.
Li Qing placed his hand on the doorknob, took a deep breath, and pushed it down.
The patient room was upscale, but the smell inside was foul.
An indescribable stench, mixed with the odors of incense and various herbs, filled the room.
On the hospital bed, the small child was tightly bound with hemp ropes, his body covered with countless talismans.
His complexion wasn’t just very dark; nearly his entire body was black.
He could even vaguely see a mass of dark energy swirling around.
Li Qing’s heart grew uneasy at the sight.
The scene was indeed frightening! 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
What puzzled him even more was how these kinds of incidents kept happening to Xiao Shu?
Li Qing, steeling himself, prepared to imitate the old Taoist and smear some of his own blood on Xiao Shu’s forehead.
But suddenly, he realized...he seemed to need a suitable tool.
He couldn’t bite through his own finger.
With a wry smile, Li Qing pushed open the door and walked out.
"Is it already done?" Principal Qi asked anxiously, "Is Xiao Shu...?"
"No, that is, I might need a sharp tool," Li Qing said, "Like a knife..."
"Alright, alright, I’ll go and find one immediately!" Principal Qi said without any hesitation.
She had seen the old Taoist use a knife last time, and this time she had no doubt.
Before long, Principal Qi came running over with a surgical scalpel, panting, "Here you go!"
Li Qing nodded, took the surgical scalpel, and walked back into Xiao Shu’s patient room.
He hoped it would really be helpful.
Li Qing stood beside Xiao Shu’s bed, took a deep breath, and cut his finger.
After the blood emerged, he pressed his finger against Xiao Shu’s forehead.
Sizzle.
Li Qing didn’t know whether it was his imagination or for real.
He thought he heard a sound like water hitting a hot oil pan.
However, the black color on Xiao Shu’s face did fade a bit, which was indeed true.
Li Qing couldn’t help feeling a bit of joy; he hadn’t expected it to actually work.
Legend says that black dog blood overcomes unclean and mysterious evils.
Could it be...
Tsk, how could I compare myself to a dog!
Li Qing scoffed silently and pressed his finger for more blood.
The dark aura on Xiao Shu’s face had receded significantly, but the process was slow.
As it moved down to his neck, the process became even slower, and there seemed to be a rebounding trend.
"This doesn’t look too good," Li Qing muttered to himself, suddenly feeling overwhelmed.
He gritted his teeth and cut another finger, doubling down on his effort.
The piercing pain made him question his life decisions.
In TV and movies, they often show characters easily biting their fingers to leave a blood trace, but when it actually comes to doing it,
Li Qing deeply realized what the saying "ten fingers connected to the heart" truly meant.
