The ghost child has run off, and I don't know which way to chase it.
However, I am not afraid of it getting away.
This ghost child was invited, it has a "golden body."
As long as the "golden body" is in hand, this ghost child cannot escape.
For now, I'll settle Wang Qin first; the matter of the ghost child can be discussed later.
After making a decision with Mo Ting, the two of us immediately turned back.
When we arrived at the edge of the park's small lake again, we saw Wang Qin trembling in a corner by the stone wall.
"Sister Qin!"
I called out.
Seeing me return, Wang Qin's taut nerves suddenly relaxed a lot:
"Qin, Qin Ze!"
As she spoke, Wang Qin burst into tears:
"It's so good that you're back.
What about that ghost child?
I, I was so scared, really so scared!"
I said solemnly:
"We've already driven that ghost child away.
Sister Qin, you are safe now.
We'll take you away from here and go home."
Hearing "safe" and "home," Wang Qin's eyes filled with anticipation, and she nodded repeatedly:
"Good, good, I'll go with you, go with you..."
Then, Mo Ting and I took Wang Qin back.
Her emotions were not very stable right now.
So, Lao Mo and I temporarily refrained from asking too much about the ghost child.
We would inquire for the information we wanted to know once her emotions stabilized.
Because I had jumped into the water earlier, my phone was soaked.
When we left the park, Mo Ting called for a car.
Mo Ting had nothing else to do and didn't plan to go back.
Instead, he accompanied me to send Wang Qin home.
We were all quiet in the car.
Wang Qin was still trembling uncontrollably, appearing somewhat dazed.
It seemed the ghost child had thoroughly frightened her.
When we got out of the car at our destination, we discovered Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang standing at the intersection, waiting anxiously.
Seeing me bring Wang Qin back, they became immensely happy.
They ran over immediately:
"Qinqin!"
"Third child!"
Upon seeing Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang, Wang Qin clearly couldn't hold back any longer.
She called out "Mom and Dad" and then started crying her heart out.
The three of them then embraced each other.
Seeing this scene, Mo Ting and I both smiled.
Lao Mo even offered me a cigarette.
In truth, our line of work is very meaningful.
For me, it not only allows me to earn ghost lifespan for survival.
But it also has significant social value compared to my old job earning money, and it's sufficiently thrilling and exciting.
It's far more meaningful than working on a factory assembly line.
Of course, it's also sufficiently dangerous.
After the three of them cried in each other's arms for a while,
Wang Qin briefly recounted her experience and situation.
Then, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang turned to look at me, as if seeing me for the first time.
They only now realized that I possessed such abilities.
Their attitude towards me became extremely good:
"Little, Little Qin, thank you so much for this!"
"Yes, Little Qin, if it weren't for you, our daughter would have drowned!
May I ask the name of this young master?"
Uncle Wang looked at Mo Ting, who was also holding a peach wood sword, and asked persistently.
Mo Ting chuckled:
"My name is Mo Ting, and I am also a Taoist priest. Eliminating demons and evil is our duty."
"Mo, Master Mo, you and Little Qin worked hard today.
We truly don't know how to repay you."
Uncle Wang looked very grateful.
"No need, but don't be too happy yet.
We only drove that little ghost away; he will return."
Mo Ting said directly.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, and Wang Qin's faces instantly changed in shock:
"Ah! Then, what should we do?
Little Qin, you must help my daughter!
Aunt Wang will kneel before you."
Saying that, Aunt Wang actually made to kneel.
I quickly supported her:
"Aunt Wang, don't be so nervous.
Since I've gotten involved in this matter, I will see it through.
But before that, we need to understand more basic information from Sister Wang Qin, to facilitate our exorcism."
Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang both looked at Wang Qin. Although Wang Qin was still filled with fear, she now seemed to have grasped a lifeline and nodded repeatedly.
However, the side of the main road was not a suitable place to discuss these matters.
So, I suggested we go home first, especially since Wang Qin and I were still wet.
Before long, we arrived at my residence.
Mo Ting also visited my place for the first time.
My room didn't have much furniture, not even a television.
I told Mo Ting to sit down himself, and I went into the room to change.
Mo Ting took a few glances, then I heard his voice:
"Brother Qin, how often do you clean your room?"
While putting on my clothes, I replied:
"I don't clean it much. What's wrong? It shouldn't be dirty, right?"
Lao Mo chuckled a few times:
"It's not dirty, but it's just too neat and clean.
It doesn't look like a single person's room.
It's cleaner than my housekeeper cleans every day.
The floor tiles are so clean you can see your reflection.
Do you have OCD or something? Do you clean every day when you get home?"
Hearing Mo Ting's voice from the living room, I suddenly felt something strange.
I glanced down at the floor.
The floor tiles were indeed very clean, not a speck of dust in sight.
It was as if the floor had just been mopped.
But I clearly remembered that the last time I mopped the floor was over a week ago.
And I had only done a perfunctory job, not as clean as this.
Not to mention, it's been over a week since then.
For a moment, I sensed a hint of abnormality.
Before I could reply, Mo Ting continued:
"Brother Qin, could you perhaps have a girlfriend who cleans your room for you?"
