“I’ll go open the door!” Seeing Pan Jiang look in his direction again, Wu Haoming hurriedly covered his chest. He couldn’t take it anymore and hurried to open the door.
Xiao Shan couldn’t take it either and immediately followed.
Although Pan Jiang was indeed simple and honest, he was also quite sensitive and sensed that the two guests in front of him didn’t like him very much. The honest man was a bit at a loss, and immediately found an excuse to leave.
Chi Shuyan saw the embarrassment on the honest man’s face and didn’t ask him to stay. She waved her hand and let him go, then said warmly, “I’ll see you out!”
Pan Jiang hurriedly waved his hand in refusal. “No need, no need!”
Chi Shuyan insisted warmly, “It’s just to the door. Don’t stand on ceremony. We’ve troubled everyone in the village these days!”
Chi Shuyan tried her best to maintain a friendly appearance.
Sure enough!
Pan Jiang’s reserved expression eased a lot. He said warmly that they could stay in the village for as long as they wanted, and that if there was anything they needed help with, they could just tell the villagers.
There was no lack of welcoming and friendly people in the village. If Chi Shuyan and the others needed help, they just needed to say so.
When she sent him off, Chi Shuyan ‘accidentally’ touched him as she digested some useful information. She pressed on his pulse for a long time, but there was still no heartbeat. Her gaze on the person in front of her grew heavier, and her eyes grew deeper.
Pan Jiang, this honest man, didn’t think much of it, but was embarrassed by the enthusiasm of the young lady in front of him. He was about to say that his family grew especially delicious vegetables, and if they wanted any, he would go to the field to pick some and send them over in the afternoon.
But before he could speak, there was a sudden loud bang at the door. Pan Jiang looked over, and two anxious, agitated and terrified screams quickly rang out.
These hoarse screams were simply more exaggerated than Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming’s screams earlier. If one listened carefully, the voices sounded shaky and deranged. Yang Kun’s wretched scream in particular could probably be heard by many families around them.
Fortunately, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan were quick to react. They hurriedly covered the mouths of Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin, who had come in through the door, and looked at them sympathetically.
The two hurriedly comforted them. “Calm down! Calm down!”
But Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin had been too agitated last night, especially Yang Kun, who had almost been killed by that ‘thing.’ The face of that ‘thing’ had left a deep impression on him and he couldn’t forget it. Now, he was seeing that familiar face once more, and the other party was even walking in his direction.
“Don’t come over!” Yang Kun’s legs trembled and he pissed his pants. His face was pale and his vision turned black. His eyes rolled back and he suddenly fainted.
Ruan Shenglin wasn’t any better off than Yang Kun at that moment. Although he hadn’t pissed his pants, he was indeed going crazy with fright. His face was pale and haggard. Not long after Yang Kun fainted, when Ruan Shenglin saw that terrifying ‘thing’ walk in his direction, his eyes rolled back and he fainted as well
Chi Shuyan: …
Pan Jiang: …
It wasn’t just Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin who were scared out of their wits. In fact, Pan Jiang, this honest man, was also shocked by the bizarre actions of the two men in front of him, especially when he saw them suddenly faint. Pan Jiang was at a loss and baffled. He paused and asked in concern, “What… happened to them? Are they anemic?”
Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan: …
Seeing that no one was speaking, Pan Jiang thought that the two of them had suddenly fallen ill. He didn’t know much about treating illnesses. Before he left, he deliberately said to Chi Shuyan in concern, “Although there’s no hospital in our village, Aunt Miao’s medical skills are especially good. If you like, you can ask her for help.”
At that point, Pan Jiang thought of something and said, “Aunt Miao used to be especially good, but ever since Jianmin left the village, her temper has become a little strange. Just be a little patient with her, and it should be fine. Aunt Miao is easy to talk to.”
Chi Shuyan didn’t expect this pleasant surprise early in the morning. Her eyes lit up. She had been trying to come up with an excuse to get close to the Xu family since last night, and didn’t expect someone to drop this gift into her lap this morning.
As for the unconscious Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin, Chi Shuyan also felt some sympathy and guilt. Speaking of which, she really hadn’t thought things through.
She clearly knew that the two of them had been agitated last night; it wasn’t strange for them to go crazy when they saw this ‘person’ today. Even Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming had been scared out of their wits, to say nothing of Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin.
When Chi Shuyan saw Pan Jiang out, she specially instructed Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming to take good care of the other two men and to wake them up.
Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming immediately nodded. “Sister-in-law, we understand!” As they spoke, they glanced at the two unconscious people on the floor with even more sympathy in their eyes.
Fine, Film Emperor Ruan and Manager Yang were simply more unlucky than they were. They had just been agitated last night, and it was so early in the morning. If the two of them weren’t unconscious at that moment, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming would have asked them about their traumatic experience.
Chi Shuyan didn’t know that Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming were still in the mood to be curious. When she went out to see Pan Jiang off, she casually mentioned the Xu family again. However, Pan Jiang didn’t know much, and he couldn’t give her very much information.
Chi Shuyan felt a bit helpless.
Out of the goodness of his heart, Pan Jiang even specially reminded her not to ask too many questions if they went to see Aunt Miao, especially when it came to the Xu family. Aunt Miao didn’t like to talk about it.
Chi Shuyan looked gratefully at the honest and kind man in front of her. Before he left, she suddenly took out an Exorcism Talisman from her pocket and threw it on the ground when he wasn’t paying attention. She suddenly said, “What’s that?”
Pan Jiang also noticed the yellow thing on the floor and didn’t think much of it. He subconsciously went to pick it up, but as soon as his hand touched the yellow Exorcism Talisman, his fingers suddenly throbbed. He immediately pulled back and looked at the yellow paper on the floor in horror. “What the hell is that?”
Chi Shuyan’s eyes darkened when she saw the other party’s fingers turn black when they touched the talisman. However, when her gaze swept over the other party’s confused expression, her eyes flashed with even more puzzlement!
By the time Chi Shuyan returned to the living room after sending Pan Jiang off, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming had already woken the other two men up. Manager Yang Kun had even changed his pants.
It was just that their expressions were still muddle-headed and mostly terrified. When they saw Chi Shuyan, it was as if they were seeing their savior. Only then did their terrified expressions ease a little, though their faces remained pale.
Ruan Shenglin’s face was a little better than Yang Kun’s at least. Yang Kun’s face was still a little ashen. One could imagine how scared he had been just now.
Ruan Shenglin suppressed the agitation and fear in his heart. His voice trembled as he stumbled over his words, “Master… Master Chi, what… what on earth happened just now? That person… he… last night… wasn’t he dead?”
