Reborn Fairy Wife Takes Me on a Gaggle-Fire rampage
Chapter 163 Ikehachi's Hair Stands on End
Upon hearing Su Yun's words, Chi Zao felt as if she had been struck by lightning, instantly frozen in place, her mind blank. It took her a while to recover, carefully considering every word Su Yun had said, and the more she thought about it, the more she realized how absolutely right he was.
"Yes! This matter must be thoroughly investigated, otherwise how can we be satisfied? This person is really too insidious and cunning, actually coming up with such a method to harm people. No, I have to call my little cousin right now." As he spoke, Chi couldn't wait to take out his phone to dial.
Seeing this, Su Yun urged, "Hurry up and start hitting! Get to the bottom of this as soon as possible."
Chi Zao looked up at the sky and saw that the once bright sky was now gradually darkening, as if an ink bottle had been spilled. With nightfall fast approaching, a sense of fear and unease rose in Chi Zao's heart; she didn't want to stay in this courtyard a moment longer.
"Why don't we go back inside first? What you just said gave me the creeps," Chi Zao said, unconsciously moving towards the house.
Su Yun nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's go inside first." The two hurriedly went inside, hoping to find some sense of security in the warm room. Chi Zao dialed her younger cousin's number.
"Cousin, how's your dad's condition? Has it improved at all?"
"Oh, don't even mention it, it's still the same as always, nothing's changed at all. Our whole family is about to go crazy with worry!"
"Have you considered seeing another doctor for him, or trying other treatments? Maybe this isn't an ordinary illness; it could be that he's been poisoned by a curse, or that some kind of evil spirit is at work."
"It's the 21st century now, we have to believe in science. There's no such thing as witchcraft or evil spirits! Those are just feudal superstitions."
"The end of science is metaphysics, you know. Haven't you seen related claims online? Sometimes, there are things that science simply can't explain."
"Even if these things really exist, you know my dad. He's always been very stubborn, and he definitely won't accept this explanation."
"No matter what, it's always good to give it a try. After all, so much time has passed. If conventional treatments don't work, why not try something different? What if it actually works?"
"Okay, I'll try my best to persuade him. But I can't guarantee I'll succeed."
"Okay, that's all for now. I'll wait for your good news." With that, the other party hung up the phone.
Chi Zao slowly put down his phone. For some reason, he suddenly felt as if every hair on his body had stood on end, as if he had been electrocuted. The strange feeling made him shiver involuntarily.
Su Yun, who was standing nearby, noticed Chi Zao's panicked appearance and quickly asked, "What's wrong? What happened? You're so scared."
"Is this contagious?"
"Probably not."
"That's hard to say. We'll have to go to the temple to get a good luck charm! Let's go tomorrow."
"Then I'll do as you say."
After changing her clothes, Chi Zao felt very relaxed and fell asleep soundly while hugging her doll.
Su Yun watched as Xiao Hei lay on the rocking chair like a well-behaved kitten, curled up on the blanket Su Yun had covered her with that day. It would prick up its ears to listen at the slightest sound; it was incredibly adorable.
Su Yun slowly woke up to the sound of the rain intensifying. The weather was really not cooperating; the rain was pouring down, and it seemed unlikely that she would be able to go out today.
Chi Zao's messy, bird's-nest-like hair seemed to proclaim to the world her exhaustion from the previous night. She yawned and sleepily opened her eyes.
"Su Su, this rain is like a torrential waterfall, pouring down. It seems we won't be able to go today."
Yes. What are your thoughts on breakfast?
"Let's order takeout! I'm going to search for those mouthwatering delicacies on the food delivery app."
"I am not hungry right now, just bring me a bowl of porridge, no need for any other food."
"it is good."
"Huh? My cousin called!" Chi Zao's face was full of surprise, just like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples.
"Cousin, it's just as you said!"
"Really?"
“After your reminder yesterday, I discussed it with my family, and everyone was willing to give it a try. We asked the old man in the village who knows about things to come back and take a look. The old man saw some clues, but he said that he was not capable of handling such matters and told us to find a bigger place to look for a doctor.”
"It's that serious!"
"I can hardly believe it myself, but unfortunately, we have no choice but to look for other places. Thank you for reminding us."
"Okay, I'll go eat now."
A short while later, the deliveryman returned like a whirlwind, carrying his box.
"Hello, are you Miss Chi?"
"Exactly."
"Your takeout is here, please accept it."
The deliveryman turned and sped into a Ferrari like an arrow released from a bow, the roar of the car deafening.
"My goodness, are food delivery services equipped with such high-end features nowadays?"
"Who knows which rich kid is honing his mind and tempering his body?"
You are absolutely right.
In the blink of an eye, Chi Zao had already neatly arranged the food. She plopped down with a flourish, her hands eagerly reaching for the food, ready to devour it. Su Yun, sitting opposite her, couldn't help but chuckle at Chi Zao's uninhibited manner.
"Hey Chi Zao, look at the way you eat! What are you going to do if you have to go on a blind date in the future?" Su Yun teased.
With her mouth full, Chi Zao mumbled a reply, "Hmph, don't worry about it! I came here to escape those annoying blind dates. Last time I got home, my mom laid out a whole bunch of guys' photos on the table and insisted I pick one I liked, saying she was going to arrange a meeting!"
Su Yun stared in astonishment, exclaiming, "My goodness! How does your mother know so many talented young men?"
Chi Zao swallowed a mouthful of food, shook her head, and said, "Actually, it's not all of them that my mom knew on her own. She said it was her card-playing friends who enthusiastically introduced them. And, oh, my mom even asked me about you, saying she wanted to play matchmaker for you too!"
"Huh? Really? When did your mother see me?" Su Yun asked, her face full of doubt.
Chi Zao replied with a grin, "It was during one of our video calls. My mom saw you and immediately thought you were pretty good, so she got the idea. How about it, are you interested in considering it?"
