Sudden Emotions
Chapter 166 Sudden Emotions
Chen Miao didn't have to wait long before Qi Ning and Zhong Cai walked in, along with several other people.
One of them was an acquaintance, Jiang Hong, one of the three people Qi Ning had pulled along to help when dealing with that evil cultivator who dealt with the six domestic animals.
"Oh, Chen Miao's awake. How are you feeling?"
Before Qi Ning could speak, Jiang Hong, who was very outgoing, stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Much better, but there are still some bruises..."
As Chen Miao was speaking, he suddenly felt that his back was not as painful as before, so he sat up.
"The stuff in your department is really quite useful."
"What, you want to join? With your abilities, I can vouch for you if you want to join!"
Jiang Hong sat on the edge of the bed and said with a smile.
"Let's talk about it later."
Chen Miao smiled and then accepted the peach wood sword that Qi Ning handed him.
"You went to the village?"
Chen Miao asked.
"went."
Qi Ning's words startled Chen Miao, and his heart couldn't help but jump.
"What did you find?"
Qi Ning shook his head.
"After we arrived, we first looked around and detected some fluctuations of yin energy."
"If there is no yin energy, I would be afraid to go in."
"However, the main reason I was allowed in was because of the elderly people in the village."
Qi Ning frowned, and Jiang Hong chimed in, "We hadn't been there long when we saw the village elders walking out along the river at the village entrance, carrying dry rations."
"If we hadn't stopped them, I reckon many of them would have collapsed if they had been allowed to walk down."
Chen Miao asked in confusion, "They've come out?"
Qi Ning understood what Chen Miao meant and nodded.
“They came out and said that the village rules had been broken and Fengmen Village’s fortunes had run out. They are looking for the children.”
“We asked what kind of luck it was, but they just said it was something the village chief had left behind.”
"Seeing them like this made me finally decide to go and take a look."
Is it the village chief again?
Chen Miao became even more curious about the village chief.
"How's the situation inside?"
Qi Ning replied, "The big rock at the village entrance has cracked and become two separate rocks. The three big locust trees are in the same situation; they've all cracked!"
"The coffins in all the rooms were also cracked."
"The corpses in the coffins have become ordinary corpses."
"As for the ghosts you imprisoned, they're all gone. I brought back the memorial tablets you placed at the village entrance and in your room, but they're all cracked and probably unusable."
Hearing Qi Ning say that, Chen Miao then noticed the bag being carried by someone behind him.
"I brought your bag back for you. There shouldn't be anything missing. Take a look."
Chen Miao opened it and took a look, and saw two spirit tablets with a large crack in the middle.
The area around the crack in the memorial tablet was covered with charred black marks, which were what blocked everything at the crack.
Chen Miao packed the things away and placed them on the bedside table, weighing them down with a peach wood sword.
"Thanks."
"No need to thank me. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to get out."
"By the way, what about the last zombie that came out?"
Chen Miao suddenly realized that Qi Ning hadn't mentioned the flying zombie, and couldn't help but ask.
"It's already been taken away. Apart from the dismemberment and the wounds left last night, the body is still quite intact."
Chen Miao nodded, inwardly a little surprised.
Last night, he used five qian (approximately 15 grams) of incense sticks for good deeds upstairs and another five qian (approximately 15 grams) downstairs.
The incense smoke from the forty incense sticks combined didn't cause the guy to self-immolate like the zombie in the funeral home.
That shows just how difficult that guy is to deal with.
"Chen Miao, if you're feeling alright, go back with Jiang Hong later. I still need to stay here and wait for someone to come."
Chen Miao nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Chen Miao originally thought that if the investigation bureau didn't come to the village, he would find an opportunity to go there and retrieve the spirit tablet. He felt uneasy leaving it outside.
Now that Qi Ning has retrieved the spirit tablets, he has nothing left to linger over. "Alright, let's eat something and leave in half an hour."
……
On the way back, Jiang Hong drove quite slowly because he had to take care of Chen Miao's injuries.
By the time they returned to Shannan City, it was already 4 p.m.
Zhong Cai did not go home, but instead went to the Shannan City Administration Bureau to pick up Xiao Bai from the daycare center.
Having not seen each other for half a month, Xiaobai immediately let go of the hands of the two little girls on either side of Zhong Cai and rushed towards him.
After Zhong Cai hugged Xiao Bai, his eyes also turned a little red.
A man in his forties who has never been in a relationship, Xiaobai is his only concern.
The thought that he might never see Xiaobai again because of his negligence filled Zhong Cai with guilt towards Xiaobai and gratitude towards Chen Miao.
"Chen Miao, let's go to my place for a meal."
Chen Miao waved his hand.
"I'm going to visit my friend. I'll go see him when I'm feeling better."
After saying that, Chen Miao rubbed Xiaobai's head.
"See you next time, Xiaobai."
Just then, Xiaobai walked up to Chen Miao and hugged him.
"Thank you."
Chen Miao smiled as he listened to Xiaobai's soft words.
"You're welcome."
After saying goodbye to Jiang Hong and Zhong Cai, Chen Miao made a phone call to Xiang Shang.
Soon, Chen Miao arrived at Xiang Shang's house.
It's not a villa, it's an apartment in a residential complex.
As soon as he entered, Chen Miao saw Xiang Shang and Gigi Lai.
"Sanshui, where have you been? I've been trying to reach you for days, but your secretary said you went out on business."
"She's not my secretary, she's my apprentice."
Chen Miao corrected him, then said, "I went out to take care of some things, and just finished today. I'm a little sleepy and a little hungry. Do you have anything to eat?"
"They'll be there soon. I ordered a table full, so I don't have to cook."
Xiang Shang said.
Chen Miao nodded to Li Zi, then went to the guest room to put his things in, and then sprayed his back twice with the medicine spray that Qi Ning had left him.
This is the third time I've sprayed it today, and you can see in the mirror that the blackness has lessened a bit.
"Looks like I can exchange for some medicine sprays to use in the future."
Chen Miao finished dressing and thought to himself.
Afterwards, Chen Miao and Xiang Shang had dinner, which was very plentiful, and Chen Miao ate a lot.
After all, these past few days, I've been eating either cookies or bread.
Xiang Shang was somewhat surprised by the way Chen Miao ate and kept asking Chen Miao what he had been doing.
Chen Miao thought about it and didn't tell the truth.
Although Xiang Shang has already encountered paranormal events, Fengmen Village is still too complicated.
Moreover, Chen Miao hadn't even figured out the situation in Fengmen Village yet, so he couldn't explain it clearly.
In the end, they managed to fool everyone.
When I got back to my room, it was exactly six o'clock.
Just as Chen Miao lay down on the bed, preparing to sort out the gains and losses of this incident, a sudden wave of unease arose.
It took Chen Miao a full two minutes to recover.
After realizing what had happened, he finally understood!
Before the battle last night, Chen Miao temporarily suppressed his negative emotions to prevent his wild thoughts from interfering with the subsequent operations.
Who knew that because the epilogue was triggered and the matter was urgent, he forgot about it.
And now, just like yesterday, is the time when he temporarily stored up his emotions.
A day passed, and Chen Miao forgot to release his negative emotions, which then came out on their own!
Feeling that abrupt feeling from just now, Chen Miao suddenly realized that perhaps temporarily holding onto negative emotions might have other uses.
After all, intense emotions can be effective in certain situations.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Miao put the matter aside for the time being.
He immediately began to take stock of his gains and losses this time.
