Living by the blade, fighting to the death.
Taking two hundred thousand from them wasn't much.
And given the Wu family's financial situation, it wouldn't break their backs.
Wu Lianyong paid the money, and after listening to us, he nodded repeatedly.
He took the herbal medicine and went to prepare it.
Wu Lianhua lay on the ground, too fat to turn herself over.
Seeing Wu Lianyong go to prepare the medicine, she said to me,
"Little Qin!
Hurry and perform the ritual, draw some talismans for your sister!
I look so ugly like this."
A smile played on my lips.
My earlier mention of performing rituals and drawing talismans was just talk.
The่ (gu) she was afflicted with would be cured just by taking medicine.
But a sense of ritual was still necessary.
We had to make them feel that even after spending money, it was worth it.
I nodded,
"Alright, let's take a break."
As I said that, I turned my head and winked at Lao Mo.
I whispered to him,
"Just put on a little show and we're done."
Lao Mo naturally understood my meaning.
With a mischievous smile, he said,
"You got it!"
Next, Lao Mo and I prepared ourselves.
Then, holding peach wood swords, we began to chant and circle around Wu Lianhua.
Afterwards, I took out the cinnabar brush and randomly drew a few strokes on Wu Lianhua's face.
Wu Lianyong, who had just come out after preparing the medicine, was stunned.
But our ritual only lasted for five minutes.
After all, it was just going through the motions.
After five minutes, I said to Wu Lianhua,
"Done! After you take the medicine, drink a bowl of the talisman water, and your pig hairs will all fall off."
Upon hearing this, Wu Lianhua repeatedly expressed her thanks,
"Little Qin, thank you, thank you!
It was my fault before. From now on, if you rent my place again, I definitely won't ask for a deposit."
I rolled my eyes.
You're so sharp-tongued, and you still expect me to rent your place?
But I didn't say anything, just waved my hand.
Since Wu Lianhua was uncomfortable lying on the ground,
We helped her, along with Wu Lianyong, to sit up and lean against something.
Then we called out the nanny and her mother to take care of her.
When the nanny and Wu Mama came out, they were terrified by Wu Lianhua's appearance.
One nanny screamed in shock, shouting that she was a monster.
Finally, Wu Lianyong explained for a while, which calmed the three of them down.
Lao Mo and I sat on the sofa, smoking and resting.
Xiao Mei's situation was special, so we had her go back to her handbag to sleep for now.
Wu Lianyong also asked about her.
I just said it was our friend, and after the female ghost, we left...
After waiting for two hours, the herbal medicine was ready.
Wu Mama fed the medicine to Wu Lianhua in front of us.
Since Lao Mo and I didn't know how long it would take for her to recover after taking the medicine,
We observed from the side.
At the same time, we asked Wu Lianhua how she felt.
But she only said it was bitter and felt nothing else.
However, ten minutes after Wu Lianhua finished the medicine,
Wu Lianhua suddenly clutched her stomach and cried out in pain...
"Pain, pain..."
This sudden turn of events attracted the attention of Lao Mo and me.
The Wu family rushed forward.
Lao Mo and I also stood up.
We exchanged glances.
Wu Lianyong repeatedly asked what was happening.
Neither Lao Mo nor I knew what was going on.
Before we could answer, Wu Lianhua suddenly started to vomit.
But what she was spitting out were black lumps of blood.
It was very smelly, an overpowering stench...
We all held our noses.
At the same time, we paid attention to the bloody lumps and Wu Lianhua's physical changes.
Besides vomiting, the pig hairs on her body were falling off one by one.
Soon, the ground was covered with them.
As Wu Lianhua continued to vomit, her plump body seemed to be deflating.
It was evident that the medicine was working.
I hadn't expected the medicine to be so potent.
It had only been ten minutes, and it was already showing effects.
Seeing this, I finally spoke,
"Don't worry, as soon as Sister Wu finishes vomiting, she'll be fine."
Hearing this, the Wu family felt a lot more at ease.
They continuously patted Wu Lianhua's back and cleaned up the filth on the ground.
Wu Lianhua's stomach seemed to have an endless supply of things to expel.
One mouthful after another of black blood clots.
A large pile had been vomited out, emitting a foul odor.
She continued to vomit for a good twenty minutes before she finally stopped.
When Wu Lianhua looked up again,
We could clearly see that the pig hairs that had grown on her skin had completely shed.
Her protruding nose and mouth had also shrunk back to their original state, as if they had receded.
Most importantly, her entire body of fat.
It had shrunk by at least twenty to thirty percent; she had visibly lost a lot of weight.
"Daughter! How do you feel?"
Wu Mama wiped Wu Lianhua's mouth and asked with concern.
Wu Lianhua leaned back on the sofa and let out a long breath,
"I, I feel, I feel so comfortable..."
Upon hearing this, the Wu family's faces lit up with joy.
They turned to thank Lao Mo and me again.
Seeing that Wu Lianhua was stable, Lao Mo and I assumed the gu worm had been removed.
So, we didn't plan to stay any longer.
We waved our hands and said,
"Alright, Sister Wu is fine now.
We should be going. Remember, continue taking this medicine for three days."
The Wu family listened and nodded in agreement.
Lao Mo and I packed our things, and they escorted us to the entrance of the residential complex...
