Chapter Six, Miss Qin, I am leaving
Qin Cai was taken aback when she received the phone call
Are you harvesting wheat? Or are you cutting your veins to commit suicide ... ... = mouth = .
Qin Cai was somewhat taken aback: "How did you all get here?"
She was contemplating whether she should seek Bai He’s assistance. However, Bai He, despite being troublesome on ordinary days, is not easily swayed once he has made a decision. If he refuses to help, there must be a reason behind it
As soon as he finished speaking, he truly turned and left. Qin Cai's mind buzzed, and in an instant, her hair stood on end. At that moment, in the eerily quiet candle shop where one could hear a pin drop, the phone rang with a thunderous sound.
Qin Cai panicked: "Please don't do this... I, in fact, am just an apprentice, I have no real skills, truly!"
Let us wait for the master to return and then plead with him; perhaps he will be able to think of a solution
The woman lowered her head and after a long while said: "Miss Qin, you are different from those fraudsters we have met. You must know the reason for Yushan's condition. Please... at least give it a try."
After sitting like this for half a day, she got up and moved stones for half the night, and in the end, she slept until she naturally woke up. Qin Cai was so exhausted that she didn't even have the strength to get up. Holding her pillow, she wanted to cry but had no tears—this work is truly not meant for humans!
As soon as these words were spoken, several people were instantly overjoyed and expressed their gratitude repeatedly. The woman took out a box from her handbag, opened it under the light, revealing a piece of deep green jade, remarkably translucent: "This piece of jade is the finest from Yushan, let it be given to Miss Qin as a deposit."
A figure outside gradually became clear—it was actually Li Yushan, who was said to be on the brink of death! He stood at the door and smiled at Qin Cai, saying, "Miss Qin, I am leaving"
She swung in the air for a while, finally starting to feel anxious—how to get back?! How to wake up, hey!
Qin Cai was taken aback; the woman's lips were as bright as if she had just drunk blood: "Miss Qin, I love my husband very much. These two are his sons, and they love their father as well. In this family, Yushan is the main pillar; if anything were to happen to him, we would have no home. " Her voice gradually grew dim, "Miss Qin, please... help us.
As soon as they left, Qin Cai was filled with despair
Qin Cai persevered in moving for three days and three nights, waking up when exhausted, then falling asleep again before continuing to move. By the end, the stones on the mountain had finally decreased somewhat. However, Qin Cai became even more troubled—the stones on this mountain were continuously increasing.
By the next day, Qin Cai had only slept for two hours before getting up again to continue with that arduous task. Reflecting on the ancient figure named Yu Gong who once moved mountains, Qin Cai felt that her workload was comparable to that of that fool.
He actually struggled to get up and kneel, which frightened Qin Cai greatly: "Please don't do this, don't do this!"
Since Qin Cai rejected that middle-aged man, Qin Lao Er has been losing his temper every day. Qin Cai did not want to stay at home any longer, so on the fifth day of the new year, she left home and moved into the Baihe Paper Candle Shop. The shop had not yet opened, and Qin Cai had nothing to do. Aside from bringing an old cotton coat to Huang Xiaolian in the air raid shelter, she spent her days in meditation, sometimes even forgetting to eat.
Qin Cai let out a loud sneeze and quickly lowered her head to look at her wrist. She saw that the paper sickle was still a paper sickle, properly inserted into the black leather wrist guard. However, the incense ash was scattered all over the ground. Qin Cai sighed and got up to clean up the incense ash
The sickle seemed to possess a spirit of its own as it slipped from her hand, spinning backward and getting lodged in a crevice of the stone. Qin Cai felt her body float for a moment, as if she were being swung into the air like a swing. Once her startled heart settled, she realized that a golden rope was still attached to the sickle. At this moment, the sickle was stuck in the crevice, and the rope was suspending her.
Four days had passed again, and Qin Cai was still resorting to the clumsy method of moving stones. She felt certain that she would die before Li Yushan. At night, she returned to the rocks, and when she moved the third stone, unexpectedly, this time, it triggered a chain reaction. In just a moment, the stones on the mountain began to tumble down with a loud crash, leaving Qin Cai greatly astonished
This family is surprisingly affectionate towards one another, which deeply moved Qin Cai. After hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "I will give it a try, but it may not work out, so do not get your hopes up."
When this idea emerged, she was still quite hesitant. On one hand, she could not provide concrete evidence; on the other hand, even if someone were indeed practicing sorcery, she would be unable to stop it
The woman lit a cigarette and gently exhaled a smoke ring: "I am the wife of Li Yushan"
Qin Cai recalled Bai He’s words and resolutely shook her head: "I truly cannot manage the books, I am sorry"
She struggled in front of the mountain for half a day, and finally sat down, feeling both amused and helpless—Master, how on earth can I awaken from this?
Qin Cai hesitated, recalling the earnestness of Li Yushan's family at that time; she truly could not bear to leave Li Yushan unattended.
Although the increase in quantity is not as fast as her moving, it is impossible for her to maintain this speed of moving forever
The old man finally spoke, his voice low and hoarse: "Miss Qin, I have only one son, and I truly do not wish to see a parent bury their child. As an old man, I watch my only son gradually become unable to even get out of bed. My heart is truly in agony. However, the last time, on the very day someone with the surname Li recommended you to him, his condition improved. The next day, he was actually able to walk to meet you"
The woman stood up and waved slightly, and surprisingly, another person resembling a bodyguard pushed in from outside. He was an elderly man with sparse hair, and his eyes were hardly visible. The woman gently adjusted her skirt and surprisingly knelt down as well
Qin Cai sincerely declined: "No, no, no, I am truly just an apprentice, and I may not be capable of it."
The rocks at the foot of the mountain have ceased to collapse, still scattered across the landscape.
The woman was quite unreserved; as soon as she entered, she sat down at the counter. Her skirt was too short, and beneath the fishnet stockings, the lace-trimmed underwear was faintly visible. Two other young men, approximately in their twenties, also found seats. The remaining individuals appeared to be bodyguards, with some stationed outside the shop and others standing behind the woman.
Li Yushan has passed away
Qin Cai did not want to say much more, and could only bend down to move those stones—she really could do nothing; if she moved a little less, would Li Yushan live a bit longer
The woman said no more, put down the jade, and left the house. The others helped the old man into the car, while Qin Cai still pushed the jade through the car window. The woman turned back to look at her but said nothing more and drove away
On that night, Qin Cai was in meditation when suddenly someone knocked on the door. The shop was not open, and Bai He was not present, so it was unlikely that anyone would come. Qin Cai got up to open the door, and the sight outside left her momentarily stunned—a group of about six people stood there, among whom Qin Cai only recognized one heavily made-up woman, who had brought Li Yushan to seek medical help last time.
She sat in meditation before the ancestral master, her mind occupied with thoughts of Li Yushan. Before long, she felt a crack appear on her forehead, through which a cold wind rushed in. Soon, she indeed found herself once again in front of that mountain. The scattered rocks on the mountain had increased, seemingly endless.
She collapsed onto the pile of stones that had been moved in, suddenly recalling something—there is a legend about a magical technique known as the Five Ghosts Transporting Method, if...
Holding onto this foolish idea, Qin Cai moved for most of the night. Exhausted to the point of collapse, the amount moved was indeed pitiful.
A terrifying thought began to emerge in her mind—could it be that someone is using sorcery to harm Li Yushan
After thinking it over, she had no choice but to get up and prepare some food. After a few bites of her meal, she lay back down and continued to move stones—what could possibly be more miserable than this in this world
She thought of a way with the book, feeling very happy, but then became entangled again—how to go back, oh my!
He spoke so much in one breath that he was momentarily out of breath. A bodyguard next to him brought over an oxygen machine. He took a couple of breaths of oxygen and continued: "Miss Qin, regarding Yushan's illness, I am at my wit's end. Now you are our only hope, I ... ... "
At that moment, a loud bang was heard from outside, and she suddenly opened her eyes. It turned out that the incense burner next to the divine altar had fallen to the ground for some unknown reason, scattering incense ash everywhere
Qin Cai was naturally astonished—if one were to be crushed to death here, would that truly mean one is dead?
After moving for another four hours, Qin Cai could no longer bear it. Goodness, if that Li Yushan ends up not dying and I end up hanging myself, it would be too unworthy. She lay on her back on the bed with her four limbs in the air, feeling extremely frustrated—Master, if only you had taught me the Five Ghosts Transporting Technique earlier, that would have been great
Just as she was about to be pressed into a pancake, a sudden flash of white light emanated from the paper sickle within Qin Cai's wrist guard. In a blur, the sickle was already in her hand. Holding the sickle, tears streamed down her face—Master, in such a critical moment, what can a sickle possibly do
While tidying up the incense ash, a sudden sound came from outside the door. Qin Cai stepped out of the room and faintly saw a figure standing at the entrance.
But this is just a dream, it is truly unscientific
As soon as she finished speaking, the two young men beside her knelt down and said, "Miss Qin, please save our father."
Qin Cai immediately became tense, gripping the mop tightly: "Who is it?"
