Wu Tian was also unsure of what was happening with this sudden turn of events.
Neither of them dared to be negligent, so Wu Tian immediately drove Zhou Qian to her home.
Since they were within the city, it only took them less than ten minutes to arrive.
Upon entering the house, Zhou Qian anxiously called out, "Dad, Dad! What's wrong with Mom?"
Zhou Huaxu came out. He looked very haggard. Upon seeing Wu Tian there, he said, "Wu Tian, you're here too."
His reaction felt off to Wu Tian. Normally, Zhou Huaxu would have been very happy to see Wu Tian.
But his current subdued attitude indicated that something had indeed happened.
Wu Tian asked, "Uncle, what exactly is wrong with Auntie? Would you mind telling me?"
Zhou Huaxu sighed and said, "Wu Tian, you're not an outsider anymore. In my heart, you're already my son-in-law, so you can come in with Qian Qian."
After speaking, Zhou Xu led them into Li Lanfang's room.
At this moment, Li Lanfang was lying on the bed, motionless.
Zhou Qian quickly went over and called out, "Mom, Mom, what's wrong, Mom? Don't scare me!"
But Li Lanfang just kept her eyes closed, showing no reaction at all.
Zhou Qian was frantic, her face filled with tears, and said, "Dad, how did my mother become like this? Tell me quickly, I'm dying of worry!"
Zhou Huaxu replied, "I really don't know what's wrong with your mother."
"She was fine yesterday during the day, but at night, she suddenly said her head hurt and then she fainted!"
"I rushed her to the hospital overnight, but the hospital said they couldn't find any symptoms."
"And they couldn't wake her up with modern medical methods, so they sent her back."
"I don't know what to do now, which is why I called you back. Otherwise, I would never have told you about this."
Zhou Qian's mind went blank upon hearing this.
What did he mean by suddenly fainting, and that there were no symptoms?
If someone was like this, how could there be no symptoms!
She hurriedly said, "I'll call someone now. If the city can't cure her, we'll go somewhere else. I definitely won't let anything happen to my mother!"
She was truly panicked, even her hair was becoming disheveled.
Just as she was about to make the call, Wu Tian reached out and pressed her phone, saying, "Don't worry. There's a doctor right here. Why do you have to send her away?"
Zhou Qian was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that Wu Tian was a divine doctor!
She quickly held Wu Tian's hand and anxiously pleaded, "Wu Tian, Wu Tian, please, you must save my mother!"
"I know you're very capable, you have a way, you must have a way, right?"
Wu Tian said gently, "First, relax your emotions. Don't get yourself too worked up."
"If you refuse to relax, then I won't act."
Hearing this, Zhou Qian knew Wu Tian was doing it for her own good. She took a deep breath and finally calmed down a bit.
She said, "Wu Tian, I'm counting on you this time."
Seeing this, Wu Tian continued, "No problem, but there's something I need to tell you in advance."
"Your mother's condition cannot be treated as an illness, because the hospital is right. Your mother is not sick."
"What did you say?" Wu Tian's words made Zhou Qian agitated again.
"Not sick? How can she not be sick?"
"If my mother isn't sick, how could she have become like this?"
Wu Tian explained, "It's very simple. Although she's not sick, her body has indeed been negatively affected, and these effects are much more serious than an illness."
He walked over and touched Li Lanfang's forehead.
Immediately, a red blood spot appeared on Li Lanfang's forehead.
"Look, this is where the problem lies."
Zhou Qian didn't understand Wu Tian's words. She frowned and asked, "What is this? How did such a thing appear on my mother's head? What does it represent?"
Wu Tian said, "You might not believe it, but this is a form of evil sorcery."
"And you must have heard of this sorcery. It's called 'Zha Xiaoren' (voodoo doll)."
"Zha Xiaoren?!" Zhou Qian and Zhou Huaxu immediately felt their ears ringing.
Wu Tian nodded and said, "That's right, it's Zha Xiaoren."
"It is precisely because of this that your mother has fallen unconscious."
Zhou Qian said in disbelief, "Is this true? You're not lying to me, are you?"
"But how can this be Zha Xiaoren? Shouldn't that be something fake?"
Wu Tian replied, "It may seem fake to you, but sorcery does exist in this world, and so does Zha Xiaoren."
"However, those who use such malicious tactics are likely from the evil path."
He said seriously, "The evil path generally doesn't attack people actively. In your mother's case, she might have offended someone. Do you know if your mother had any conflicts with anyone recently?"
"This..." Hearing this, Zhou Qian involuntarily looked at Zhou Huaxu.
"Dad, is what Wu Tian said true?"
Zhou Huaxu thought for a moment, and then his expression became somewhat horrified.
He said, "If you put it that way... your mother did have a conflict with someone, and it happened yesterday afternoon."
Zhou Qian was startled and quickly asked, "Is this really true?"
"Dad, tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"
Zhou Huaxu explained, "Doesn't your mother like to play mahjong? Yesterday afternoon, she had a conflict with someone in the mahjong room. It seemed like a miscalculation of points, I don't know the specifics."
"They were arguing very fiercely, and I had to go to the scene to pull your mother back."
Zhou Qian quickly asked again, "Then who did Mom have a conflict with? Do you know that person?"
Zhou Huaxu nodded and said, "I know her, but I'm not familiar with her. I heard it was just an ordinary housewife..."
As he said this, Zhou Huaxu seemed to remember something.
His expression suddenly stiffened: "Wait, I remember now. I heard that person's brother works as a Taoist priest outside. If that's the case, then..."
The atmosphere suddenly became eerie. Wu Tian said, "It seems there's no need to guess anymore."
"It must have been her brother who used evil sorcery, which is why Auntie became like this."
Hope flickered in Zhou Qian's eyes. She grabbed Wu Tian's arm and asked anxiously, "What should we do now?"
