Chapter 191: Catch Your Tail (4)
Jiang's mother quickly wiped the tears from her face. Seeing her only son lying on the hospital bed, she felt heartbroken. She no longer cared about being elegant and just wiped the tears a few times with her sleeve.
The housekeeper ran upstairs in a hurry and bumped into Jiang's mother who was about to go out.
Jiang's mother's voice was still trembling. She suppressed her inner excitement and asked, "Uncle Zhou, what's wrong?"
"Madam, there is a little girl outside who claims to be from the Jiang family. She said she knows how to save the young master."
Old Master Jiang stood up tremblingly with the help of a cane. His body was still a little shaky. Uncle Zhou immediately trotted forward and supported him.
"Master, what are you..."
He was unable to ask the rest of the questions because Old Master Jiang patted the back of his hand. The tacit understanding between the two of them as master and servant over the years told Uncle Zhou that this meant that he should not ask more questions.
Uncle Zhou had no choice but to swallow his words. He had already understood roughly that the old man's sudden weakness was probably due to the young master.
"Ugh……"
Uncle Zhou sighed silently in his heart. Who can tell whether this God-given bloodline is a blessing or a punishment?
"Let's go." Old Master Jiang nodded slightly to Mother Jiang, his eyes solemn.
Jiang's mother quickly tidied her clothes and followed him downstairs.
……
The puppy was very light and didn’t feel heavy when Jiang Wan held it in his arms.
After explaining his purpose to the housekeeper, Jiang Wan stood at the door waiting.
It is better to be formal when meeting the relatives of the broken ones.
The door opened—
The two families had some friendship, so Jiang Wan called him sweetly, "Grandpa Jiang."
"Hey~" Mr. Jiang responded to her with a smile, "Come in, Wan'er."
Jiang Wan noticed the woman next to him. There were a few faint tear marks on her face and her cuffs were wet. Judging from her age, she should be Fragment's mother.
"Aunt Jiang."
Jiang's mother also responded. She forced a smile and pulled Jiang Wan into the house affectionately.
Jiang Wan was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't reject it.
She could understand a mother worrying about her son.
Although they were concerned about Jiang Zhinian's illness, the Jiang family still behaved very considerately.
The nanny brewed a pot of tea, and steam continued to rise from the mouth of the pot.
Jiang Wan was the first to speak, "Grandpa Jiang, A-Nian's soul is in this puppy."
On the way here, Jiang Wan greeted him and explained the reason.
The puppy was lying quietly in Jiang Wan's arms at this time, with its eyes rolling around, looking at Grandpa Jiang and Mother Jiang.
Without paying attention to her intimate name, Jiang's mother and old man Jiang looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Considering the occasion, Jiang Wan did not call him "Fugui" anymore, but said, "Anian, go ahead."
She slowly put the puppy on the ground and watched it run to its relatives.
[Then I will go find my family first and ask them to confirm it.]
Mother Jiang had no magic power, so she looked to old man Jiang for help, hoping to hear the answer from him.
Mr. Jiang looked at it for a while and said, "Yes, Zhinian's soul is in there."
He spoke rapidly, with a hint of excitement in his tone.
Hearing the affirmative answer, Jiang's mother couldn't help but hug the puppy and cry.
Jiang Wan didn't want to disturb this "lost and recovered" scene, but time did not allow her to wait any longer.
Helplessly, she had to speak up: "Grandpa Jiang, the most urgent thing is to get Ah Nian's soul back into his body as soon as possible. It's getting late. If we wait until night, this matter will be difficult to handle."
The yin energy is strong at night, so the forces of the Great Demon Society will take action under the cover of darkness.
The golden afterglow filled the sky and reflected on the murals on the wall.
Old Master Jiang glanced at the pendulum, and his heart gradually sank to the bottom.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon and time waited for no one.
He waved his hand, signaling Uncle Zhou to help him up, and said to Jiang's mother, "Yuehua, take A-Nian upstairs."
"Hey, I'll be right there."
Jiang Wan followed behind them, looking at Mr. Jiang's light footsteps, her brows slightly frowned, as if something was on her mind.
"Wan'er," Jiang's mother was sincerely thankful to Jiang Wan this time, and she also really wanted to be close to Jiang Wan.
"Hmm? Aunt Jiang." Jiang Wan looked at her and asked tentatively, "Why do you and Grandpa Jiang seem not surprised by my arrival?"
Jiang's mother explained, "The old man had told the fortune teller before, and it said that Zhinian's illness would improve today, so we are just waiting."
The implication is: You are the turning point.
A hint of understanding flashed across Jiang Wan's eyes. If one uses divination to forcibly spy on the secrets of heaven, the person who performs the divination will suffer backlash.
In this case, it is not surprising that Mr. Jiang's health is seriously poor.
After all, they are a fragmented family. Jiang Wan doesn't want him to experience separation in his small world again, and wants to do his best to make him live a happy and fulfilling life.
She asked Xiaoxing for another pill.
Xiao Xing, who had been robbed of everything, was hiding in a small dark room, hugging the quilt and crying, "Wuwuwu... those are elixirs, not candy beans. The landlord's house can't stand you robbing it like this... Wuwuwu..."
"You are such a heartless woman. You only have men in your eyes and heart. Woo woo woo..."
Jiang Wan thought it was too noisy and simply blocked it out.
Forget it, I'll coax this little bastard after I finish dealing with the fragments. There's still time.
Jiang Wan saw Jiang Zhinian with tubes inserted all over his body. She didn't expect that their first meeting in this dimension would be in such a scene.
As a cultivator, it is impossible for him not to know that given Jiang Zhinian's current condition, the medical equipment in the human world is of no use to him at all, and will instead increase the burden on his body.
Mr. Jiang has called the family doctor and asked him to remove all the tubes from Jiang Zhinian.
Fortunately, it is summer now, with long days and short nights.
As long as the sun has not set, the big demon dare not come out.
The puppy broke free from Jiang's mother's arms at some point and ran over to rub against Jiang Wan's trouser legs.
"Are you scared?"
Jiang Wan squatted down and kept his eyes level with it.
[Don't be afraid, I want to return to my body as soon as possible and marry you.]
Jiang Wan was a little depressed. There were so many people around and there were some things he couldn't say.
She could only give an ambiguous reply, "Let's get rid of that big demon first."
The others couldn't hear Jiang Zhinian's thoughts, but they were really curious, so they looked towards Jiang Wan frequently.
Xiaoxing’s argument is: Only the Jiang family has the method to save Jiang Zhinian.
Jiang Wan was also confused, but she could guess a little bit that this method must be very dangerous.
She walked to Mr. Jiang and asked, "Grandpa Jiang, what should we do?"
"Light seven lamps, take a lock of his hair, soak it in the blood of his blood relatives for an hour, and then sew the hair into his childhood underwear. Tomorrow, his soul will be able to return to its place."
"Dad! Use my heart's blood, use mine!" Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother stumbled over and pulled the old man's sleeve tightly.
Mr. Jiang's face was cold and hard. "No, the blood of a mortal will not work. The person who takes the blood must be a man from the Jiang family."
