I sell lunch boxes in the underworld

Chapter 79 The Talisman Paper is Only Ashes Left

After hearing the sound, Qin Yunie and Mrs. Li immediately ran out quickly.

When they arrived, they were shocked by what they saw.

The ground was littered with broken bottles and a mess. Sister Wang had fallen to the side, looking extremely embarrassed.

Mrs. Li's face changed drastically when she saw what was on the ground. She pointed at the small rag doll in horror, her mouth wide open, unable to utter a complete sentence: "This, this, this..."

Qin Yunie approached cautiously and observed carefully. She was surprised to find that among the broken pieces of bottles, there was a small and exquisite doll lying there quietly.

The doll was wrapped in a piece of blood-stained cloth with a person's birth date clearly written on it.

What’s even more creepy is that there is a needle as thin as a hair stuck in the doll’s body, which is almost imperceptible if you don’t look closely.

Although Qin Yunie didn't know what these meant, she could feel intuitively that these were definitely not good things.

Her face instantly darkened, and without hesitation, she reached out and smashed the other jade plate next to her to the ground. However, to her surprise, that jade plate also contained something hidden inside.

Qin Yunie then burned the painting again. Perhaps it was an illusion, but the painting seemed to twist and a sharp cry could be heard faintly.

She looked around and didn't see anything unusual.

At this time, the painting also started to burn and soon turned into ashes.

After being frightened, Mrs. Li held onto the stone pillar next to her and gasped for breath.

Qin Yunie walked over, supported her, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

She shook her head, her voice a little hoarse and trembling, "I, I'm fine."

Qin Yunie helped her into the house, sat her on the sofa, and asked the servant to pour her a glass of water.

At this time, the other servants also helped Sister Wang in.

Mrs. Li's hands were still a little cold. She held the steaming cup as if it were a lifeline, and took a sip with trembling hands.

The warm water flowed down my throat into my stomach, and my body felt slightly better.

Mrs. Li was so angry that her face turned blue, her chest heaving, and she shouted angrily, "Shang Mingyue really has such vicious intentions!"

Qin Yunie quickly supported her and comforted her, "Aunt Li, don't be angry. Your health is more important."

Mrs. Li took a few deep breaths, calmed herself down a bit, and turned to order the servants behind her, "Burn all those things outside and throw them away. The farther away, the better! Also, don't let a word of what happened today get out. Anyone who violates this will be fired! We'll sue you for breach of contract!"

The servants had just heard the noise and seen what was happening outside. They were all a little scared, but there was no way they could afford to pay such a high penalty for breach of contract, so they responded in unison and went outside to clean up the debris with swift movements.

After the instructions were given, Mrs. Li finally recovered.

Mrs. Li looked at Qin Yunie, held her hand and said gratefully, "I really owe you so much to you for what happened today. If you hadn't brought the news today, I'm afraid she would have succeeded in her scheme!"

Qin Yunie smiled and shook her head. "Aunt Li, you're too kind. I'm just doing my duty as someone entrusted me with this."

Mrs. Li looked at Qin Yunie seriously and shook her head. "If you hadn't brought the news in time, what good would it have done Old Qian even if he knew about it? Since he chose you to bring the news, it means he's powerless. But you can definitely bring the news later. But by then, I'm afraid it won't be long before I leave to see Old Qian."

She sighed, "I never thought that there would be a day when an eagle would peck out my eyes."

"The doll has my birth date on it. Not many people know it, and Shang Mingyue is one of them. I didn't expect her to use it against me!"

"Shang Mingyue and I were actually college classmates. We didn't keep in touch much after graduation until ten years ago, when I saw her being harassed by a customer in a store. I gave her some money to invest in her husband's business. As a result, her family benefited from this, and things started to improve."

"A few years ago, when Lao Qian was still alive, his family learned that he liked to collect antiques, so they specially sent one over. Gradually, they sent one every one or two years, and we got used to it."

Mrs. Li slammed the sofa in anger and said, "Recently, she said she met a seller with a lot of good stuff. They made some money and sent me some every now and then. I didn't expect she would have such thoughts!"

Qin Yunie reminded: "Uncle Qian gave you something wrapped in cloth and told you to always carry it with you."

She murmured, turned around and walked upstairs, "Yes, yes, I'll get it and put it on me now."

Meanwhile, a man in a black Taoist robe was swearing to Shang Mingyue, "Don't worry. If she keeps those three items at home, within three months, she will become weak and sick. The hallucinations she experiences from the painting will eventually lead to her death."

However, the next second, he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, "Puff - cough cough..."

He shouted angrily, "Who is it! Who on earth is it! Who discovered and ruined my plan?"

Shang Mingyue immediately asked nervously, "Master, did she find out? Did she find out? Didn't you say it was foolproof? How come she found out right after I delivered it?"

The man called Master bit his finger and drew a talisman in the air, closing his eyes and muttering something.

Qin Yunie didn't know why, but she felt uncomfortable and panicked. She subconsciously looked upstairs.

The next second, she heard a scream from upstairs, "Ah——"

Her heart skipped a beat. Oh no, it was Aunt Li!

She immediately ran upstairs.

As soon as I reached the stairs, I saw Mrs. Li standing there in a daze, completely distracted.

Seeing that she was fine, Qin Yunie slowly walked over and asked with a slight breath: "Aunt Li, what happened?"

After Qin Yunie asked, he discovered that there was a pile of ashes at Mrs. Li's feet.

"I, I don't know either. I was just about to put the talisman that Lao Qian gave me on my body, but the talisman paper caught fire in my hand. I was burned so much that I subconsciously let go of it." Mrs. Li said blankly.

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and was surprised to find that the talisman paper she had just taken had disappeared, leaving only a pile of ashes at her feet.

Mrs. Li: "Where's the talisman paper I just took?"

Qin Yunie's gaze fell on the ashes at her feet, and she vaguely felt that it was the talisman that had saved Mrs. Li's life just now.

If Mrs. Li hadn't come up to take the talisman paper, maybe now...
