Chapter 208: Is There A Sun Family Member?
Just as Xiao Qidong was about to rush to Sister Yuanman, Brother Feng quickly blocked him. Before he could speak, he smelled a strong sour stench mixed with the smell of alcohol.
Brother Feng: “Yue——!!”
He covered his nose and quickly retreated, not forgetting to lift up Nan Yuanman and run with her. His face was full of disgust: “Oh my god, how long has it been since you last took a bath? Why do you smell so bad!”
Nan Yuanman, whose sense of smell was even more sensitive, couldn’t help but cover her nose with her hand. Her hand was already covered in dirt, and now she looked even more like a little tabby cat: “Stinky stinky!”
Xiao Qidong stopped awkwardly, sniffed his armpit: “That bad… urp!”
He couldn’t help but dry-heave once, then quickly said: “Brother Feng, lend me your bathroom!”
“My room is on the second floor, hurry up and go clean yourself up, you stink!” Brother Feng frowned tightly, wanting to kick him flying but afraid of dirtying his own foot.
While Xiao Qidong went to clean up, Brother Feng also lifted Nan Yuanman to the restroom on the first floor, washed her face and hands clean, and changed her clothes.
Nan Yuanman sat on the sofa, accepting Brother Feng’s feeding, when Xiao Qidong, freshly washed, came down from upstairs.
As soon as he came down, he complained: “Brother Feng, it’s not that I didn’t want to wash, it’s that I didn’t dare to take a bath at home!”
After resolving Wei Junchen’s matter a week ago, Xiao Qidong and Xie Yifei went back to their own homes.
After staying obediently at home for two days, they couldn’t stay put anymore and wanted to go out to play and have fun.
When Xiao Qidong went out, he even invited Brother Feng, but at that time Brother Feng was immersed in taking care of the kid and refused him, so he could only go have fun with Xie Yifei.
The first couple of days were fine, but by the third day, Xiao Qidong started having bad luck frequently.
First, while drinking at the bar, he didn’t know who left a wine bottle on the ground. He stepped on the wine bottle and fell straight into a wine barrel, nearly drowning himself.
Later, while walking on the road, things inexplicably fell from above.
It was either flower pots or water basins full of water, or wine bottles, even loose falling windows and billboards.
Every time, they fell right toward his head.
If he hadn’t firmly remembered what Sister Yuanman told him to be careful of objects thrown from high places, he would have been smashed to death long ago.
These weird incidents also made him a bit scared deep down, so he obediently stayed at home, planning to wait for the seventh day to pass before coming to find Nan Yuanman.
That night, thinking he had drunk alcohol and smelled strongly of it, he went to the bathroom to take a bath. While washing, he suddenly felt someone pressing down hard on his head, forcing it forcefully into the water.
Xiao Qidong sniffed, speaking with lingering fear: “If I hadn’t bought an amulet from Sister Yuanman that night, I-I would have completely died in the bathroom that night.”
He only felt the amulet, hung around his neck with a red rope, heat up. His head, which had been forcefully pressed into the water, suddenly could move again.
After he could move, Xiao Qidong hurriedly put on the clothes he had just taken off and wanted to immediately come find Nan Yuanman, but unluckily, his door lock was broken!
He couldn’t get out at all!
And his home’s glass was bulletproof grade, with ventilation openings screened by screen window made of diamond sand. With no tools on hand, he couldn’t get out!
Worst of all, he could feel that the ghost that wanted his life was still in the room!
Xiao Qidong could only crawl into the wardrobe to seek a sense of safety, not daring to breathe loudly or make any noise. He just kept his eyes wide open, clutching the remaining amulet, and spent the night like that.
As soon as it was bright, the previously broken door lock worked again. He came tumbling over to find Nan Yuanman, however…
The car broke down halfway.
Xiao Qidong had run all the way here, so that’s why he was so disheveled and smelled so bad.
Xiao Qidong wiped away tears: “Brother Feng, Sister Yuanman, I’ve had it rough!”
“Sister Yuanman, I’ve done good deeds all my life. Even when it comes to dating, it’s always mutual consent with the girl. Except for that one time when I was little and peed on my grandpa’s head, I haven’t done anything morally bankrupt.”
“Tell me, why am I so unlucky to get haunted by a ghost?”
Nan Yuanman blinked her eyes and suddenly asked him: “Have you gone to some gloomy place again these past couple days? The bad luck on you is practically marinated in.”
“No! I just went to the bar with Xie Yifei…” Xiao Qidong said, then suddenly widened his eyes: “The bar counts too? There were so many people at the bar! Isn’t that full of yang energy?”
“I don’t know what kind of place Brother Xiao’s bar is, but Grandpa said that places with lots of people have a lot of miasma, and miasma is what attracts ghosts and monsters the most.” Nan Yuanman counted on her fingers: “And before that, you all just escaped from the ghost domain formation.”
“Generally speaking, after coming out of the ghost domain, you need to get more sun, avoid gloomy and miasmic places, replenish yang energy, and only go out after your luck rises. Otherwise, it’s easy to get haunted by ghosts and monsters.”
“Earlier at the hospital, I saw your glabella was gray with obvious vertical lines. Your luck was even lower than Sixth Brother and the other big brother. From facial physiognomy, I calculated you were very likely to face the calamity of a heavy object crashing through the top of your head, instant death, so I specially reminded you to watch out for objects thrown from high places within seven days.”
She just hadn’t expected Xiao Qidong to not stay obediently at home for seven days and go out to have fun instead.
But luckily, he firmly remembered her words and was extra careful about objects thrown from high places while out, or he really might have fulfilled the calamity in his facial physiognomy.
“Moreover… big brother, you now have a face full of deathly aura, which means the thing haunting you is very fierce. You really didn’t do anything bad these past few days?” Nan Yuanman put on a serious steamed bun face and asked earnestly.
“Really not!” Xiao Qidong wanted to raise three fingers to swear: “I just drank some alcohol, bragged a bit, flirted a bi…”
Before he could say the word, Brother Feng kicked him.
Xiao Qidong quickly said: “Sister Yuanman, believe me! Really, if I did bad things, I-I’ll be struck by lightning, I’ll die a horrible death!”
“That’s strange then…” Nan Yuanman tilted her head, frowning a bit puzzled.
According to the knowledge Grandpa taught her, fierce ghosts, vengeful ghosts, and evil ghosts don’t harm people randomly. They first target those they had grudges with in life, to fulfill their obsessions.
After all, ghosts that harm people randomly will attract underworld officials to capture them.
So, the ghost haunting Xiao Qidong definitely had some connection with him.
But Xiao Qidong said he hadn’t done anything bad.
Nan Yuanman touched her chin, rummaged in her small shoulder bag, took out a piece of paper and a pen and placed them on the table, raising her little chin: “Come, big brother, write one character on it.”
“Remember, the character you write must be the first one that comes to mind.”
Xiao Qidong obediently picked up the pen and wrote a small character on it.
Nan Yuanman happened to recognize this character. She rummaged in her small shoulder bag and pulled out an old yellowed book bound with hemp rope and handed it to Brother Feng: “Sixth Brother, help me look up the character divination explanation related to the small character.”
Brother Feng was puzzled and confused: “?”
They still needed to look it up in a book? Couldn’t she just say it directly?
Nan Yuanman saw his doubt, puffed out her little chest confidently: “I’m only five years old, I haven’t learned all the characters yet, of course I need to check the book!”
Brother Feng: “……Fine.”
He carefully flipped through the book to the page on interpreting the small character: “Small, represents tiny, later generations continuing, Sun generation…”
“Sun…?” Brother Feng keenly looked at Xiao Qidong and asked: “Among the people you went out with this time, was there a Sun family member?”
