As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Lili came down from upstairs, and Shen Congmo glanced at her, chuckling softly, "Why do I feel like you’re somewhat different after getting married?"
"Where am I different?" Long Yubei glanced sideways at him, "I am still me, the fireworks are different."
Gu Lili sat beside Long Yubei, and as soon as she did, Shen Congmo asked, "I heard Lili can see things that aren’t clean; is that true?"
"Yeah." Gu Lili smiled lightly, "It’s true."
"I’m a bit curious, can those unclean things harm people?"
"They can," she replied. "Ordinary folks like you usually can’t see them, but can still hear their voices. Under normal circumstances, they don’t speak because it could easily scare people. Those with weak constitutions and poor health are more likely to become hosts for their possessions, and once possessed, they can control the bodies of normal people to do their bidding."
Shen Congmo’s eyes widened, "Is there a way to avoid being entangled by these beings?"
"There is." Gu Lili said, "I can draw you a talisman; carrying it with you will prevent it."
"Really? Could you give me a few more? I want to give them to my family."
"Sure." Gu Lili stood up, "I’ll go get some paper and a brush, oh right..."
She suddenly remembered, "Husband, I was actually planning to make some for my parents and grandparents anyway, so I’ll just make some extra this time; carrying them can’t hurt."
Gu Lili ran upstairs and quickly returned with a stack of yellow rectangular talisman papers, an inkstone, and a brush.
The ink inside was red.
Skillfully, she picked up the brush and started to draw the inscrutable talismans, one after another, under their fixed gaze.
She drew dozens in one go until her wrist was sore.
"Here’s for you; oh, and take some for Liang He too, have him give them to his family as protection against evil spirits."
"These we’ll give to our parents, one for each person." She first handed one to Long Yubei, "This is yours; fold it nicely and place it in the pocket you use every day or in your wallet."
Long Yubei took it, "Is this thing really that miraculous?"
"Trust your wife, I’m definitely right."
Dark eyes flashed with curiosity, "Have you seen any after we got married?"
"So many. On the streets, in the residential areas, on Xiliang Mountain, they’re everywhere," Gu Lili answered, "but I didn’t mention it because I was afraid you’d be scared, oh, and maybe we should also give one to He Meiwei; she’s frail, and there’s a lot of unclean stuff in hospitals."
Long Yubei nodded, "Alright."
Her willingness to give one to He Meiwei wasn’t because she held no grudges; rather, she now understood He Meiwei’s place in Long Yubei’s heart. To show her accommodating side by giving He Meiwei a talisman was not much of a concession.
Tang Qingli took the talisman papers to the Long Family Mansion.
He was supposed to deliver one to He Meiwei as well, but right then, Long Yubei received a call from the hospital attendant.
Saying He Meiwei had been convulsing uncontrollably for some unknown reason.
The doctor had just checked her and found nothing abnormal.
Long Yubei had no choice but to personally go to the hospital to see what was happening, with Gu Lili accompanying him.
Upon arrival at the hospital, there were several doctors and nurses in the ward, all looking worried. Thɪs chapter is updated by Nove1Fire.net
"Mr. Long, you’ve arrived. We don’t know what happened to Miss He, she started having these convulsions all over her body after using the restroom, and when we ask her questions, she doesn’t respond, as if she’s lost her soul," the attendant said with a face full of anxious helplessness.
