The ghoul went in and walked around, then came out with a dispirited look, “How could this be? It’s all gone. My Mother and my jewelry and everything in this house are gone!”
Xie Qiao could but help but smile.
“This is all for you, and you’re still smiling!” The ghoul stomped her feet.
“No one has taken care of it for more than ten years, so it makes sense. You don’t have any gold or silver items, so naturally, you’ll have other ways to repay me. Why shouldn’t I smile?”
Mo Lingzi had said before that one had to repay what one owed others.
This ghoul owed her a favor. If she could not repay it with gold or silver, she would naturally have to use her luck to repay it.
Perhaps, because of this luck, she would be able to live for another two days.
..
Xie Qiao was quite happy. She was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, she walked toward the courtyard that the Lin family rented.
The Lin family was not wealthy. When the steward rented the courtyard, he had also considered that point. He chose a more remote location and the surrounding area was filled with ordinary people.
Xie Qiao bought some snacks and gifts and arrived not long after.
When she stopped in the alley, she saw Xie Pinghuai standing in a place with a conflicted look on his face. His facial features were almost squeezed together.
“What are you standing here for?” Xie Qiao walked forward and asked.
“Eldest Sister, can I go home? I don’t want to stay here,” Xie Pinghuai asked pitifully.
Xie Qiao looked in the direction where Xie Pinghuai was looking.
However, he found that Grandpa Lin was in someone else’s yard. He was squatting on the ground, helping someone to clean up the filth in his mouth. His hands and body were dirty.
“Grandpa Lin is saving someone?” Xie Qiao was a little surprised.
“Yes, he heard someone screaming. He came out and saw that this person was lying on the ground and convulsing. He even vomited disgusting things…” After Xie Pinghuai said that, he could no longer hold back his disdainful expression, “It’s too disgusting, Eldest Sister. This is even more disgusting than horse manure!”
Just as Xie Pinghuai finished speaking, he heard Grandpa Lin say from inside, “After cleaning up this filth, the convulsions have been stabilized. However, you’ll still have to see a doctor. I’m just a wandering doctor. If you’re still worried, it’s better to go to the medicine shop to check it out.”
Grandpa Lin stood up very amiably. He wiped his hands and smiled. He left that person’s house.
Xie Pinghuai quickly turned to the side and distanced himself from Grandpa Lin.
Grandpa Lin was stunned for a moment, then he said, “It’s dirty, isn’t it? I’ll just go back and wash up. If I didn’t use my hands earlier, that person might have choked to death from the vomit. Look, it’s such a small price to exchange for a life. It’s worth it, isn’t it?”
As Grandpa Lin said that, his footsteps were a little excited. He carried the medicine box back to his small courtyard.
“Eldest Sister, the Lin family members are all stupid,” Xie Pinghuai seemed to have found a backer, he said to Xie Qiao non-stop, “Their family is very busy! This house has only been rented for a month, and they actually took on the job of a medicine shop. They have to produce medicinal ingredients all day long, causing the entire house to be filled with the smell. I haven’t been able to sleep well these two days!
“That Aunt went out in the middle of the night to deliver a baby for someone else. She even insisted on dragging me along and asked me to help carry the things. I stood guard outside and heard the woman inside wailing and howling. It was really scary,” Xie Pinghuai’s eyes were black and blue.
When Xie Qiao heard that, she curled her lips and smiled.
Not bad, he should be tortured.
When Xie Qiao entered the courtyard, he saw Xie Xi squatting on the ground and playing with a little black dog.
“The salesman passed by yesterday and Xi’er stared at the little black dog. I bought it and let her keep it for fun,” Lin Yaxiang rubbed her hands, “I don’t know if the young lady of a rich family can touch that, but it’s not dirty.”
