Chapter 10 Willow Leaves, Well Water, Kitchen Knife_1

Ma Hong heard the female ghost's voice and immediately walked in the direction of the female ghost. He couldn't see the female ghost, and his body fell to the ground, his hands groping on the ground from time to time.

In your eyes, the female ghost's hand had already overlapped with Ma Hong's, but Ma Hong could neither see nor feel it.

Huang Mao quietly walked up to you and whispered, "Brother Li, can you let the boss see that female ghost? Since the two of them know each other, it might be better to let them resolve this matter themselves."

Now it was your turn to be puzzled. In fact, you didn't know much about this area, you just liked to watch supernatural stuff and knew a bit about it, but all that knowledge was theoretical. Whether it could succeed was unknown.

However, since people had already come, you also planned to bring this matter to a perfect conclusion.

"Huang Mao, go to the river and fetch some willow branches, the leaves should be as tender as possible, and fetch some well water."

Huang Mao heard this and hurriedly sent his underlings to do it. After they had prepared everything, you picked a few tender willow leaves and threw them into a basin filled with cold well water. Then you took two leaves and gently wiped them over Huang Mao's eyelids.

After Huang Mao opened his eyes, he shook his head at you.

You scratched your head and muttered to yourself, "Strange, willow trees gather yin, and willow leaves soaked in well water should open the third eye for a short time. This method should work."

In your knowledge, there weren't many methods to open the third eye, the only other option was cow's eye tears, but that was not something you could find at the moment.

With no other choice, you had to ask your mother for advice.

After the phone call connected, you briefly explained the situation to her. She sighed lightly and said, "You, always regretting not reading enough when it's time to use it, right? Those supernatural things written by some youngsters, what do they know? Most of it is just hearsay, and some are outright copied from stories."

You quickly flattered her, "That's right, how could they compare to you, a peerless beauty?"

"Don't try to butter me up with sweet talk. I'm telling you, if Mrs. Hao asked you to do something, you better do it well. Using willow leaves to open the third eye is a viable method, but it requires some Taoist power. Where would a greenhorn like you get any Taoist power? As for cow's eye tears, forget about it. They used to exist, but now cows are all bred, not pure anymore, and it's useless to use them."

You scratched your head, "There must be some way, right?"

"Have someone fetch a kitchen knife from the hotel kitchen, a knife that is used daily to kill chickens, ducks, and fish."

"Then what?"

"Fill an iron basin with well water, put the kitchen knife in it, and after soaking for a few minutes, ordinary people will be able to see the ghost's reflection in the water."

"It works like that?"

"Less nonsense, just go do it. This is the only method you can use right now. After this matter is settled, make sure to go to your residence early, and if there's nothing else, just turn off your phone."

"Okay, I got it."

Following your mother's method, Ma Hong, Huang Mao, and the others indeed saw the female ghost Xiao Mei in the reflection of the basin.

Just as Huang Mao had said earlier, this matter was Ma Hong's private affair, and it was left to Ma Hong to resolve afterward.

Besides, your ability only went so far.

Huang Mao was the local big shot around here, and he was very familiar with the area. He gave you a ride in his van.

The house Mrs. Hao had you stay in was by the side of Xiang Lake, a secluded place with mostly elderly neighbors and no passing vehicles.

It was a single-story house with three rooms, fully furnished.

After Huang Mao left, to prevent others from seeing through Zhao'er's flaws, you locked her in the room. When you returned from buying groceries at the nearby market, you found her still obediently standing by the door, staring blankly at you.

You looked at her and gently caressed her cold yet tender face, feeling a wave of emotion in your heart.

In the past, you would never have dreamed that you would have such a stunning beauty by your side. The more you were with her, the more you felt that all the women around you were nothing but plain and vulgar, like Cuihua and Feng Jie.

Even Wu Qiyao, whom you had secretly loved for three years, paled in comparison to Zhao'er.

This was even when she was without any consciousness. You couldn't help thinking that she must have been a breathtaking beauty in her lifetime.

"Zhao'er, I'll cook for you tonight and make you a delicious meal!"

Although you knew she didn't eat, you still set up in the kitchen, deftly washing vegetables, occasionally looking at Zhao'er standing behind you, a natural smile of happiness on your face.

When you picked up the kitchen knife to cut off some unwanted parts of the fish head, the moment your left hand touched the fish head, a flash of a fishmonger chopping a fish head crossed your vision, causing your right hand to deviate and cut a not too deep nor too shallow wound on your own arm, blood immediately flowing out!

"Ouch, hiss—"

As you hurriedly turned around to find a towel, Zhao'er, who had been motionless behind you, suddenly pounced on you!

She acted out of character, bending down and biting your wound!

Startled by Zhao'er's abnormal behavior, you quickly reached out to push her away, but you felt a tingling sensation from the wound.

Looking down, you were surprised to find Zhao'er extending her sexy little almond tongue, licking your wound like an obedient little cat. Each lick sent shivers through your soul, as if ants were crawling all over your body, even your toes twitching involuntarily.

The blood on the wound was quickly licked clean by Zhao'er, and the wound miraculously healed.

What surprised you even more was that Zhao'er then tilted her head and said to you with a cute and dazed expression, "Hungry."

You thought you had heard wrong at first, but then she said again, "Hungry."

You opened your mouth slightly, clearly not reacting at once. After wiping your face several times, you hurriedly asked, "Zhao'er, were you saying you're hungry just now?"

Zhao'er didn't answer, but she licked her sexy red lips with her tongue, making you feel as if ants were crawling in your heart, an unbearable tingling sensation.

"Just wait a moment, I'll cook something for you right away."

To avoid losing your composure, you quickly led Zhao'er to the dining room and had her sit in a chair.

Unlike before, she didn't mimic your actions and stand up, but sat obediently, staring blankly at your busy figure in the kitchen.

Tomato and egg stir-fry, steamed pumpkin, fish head tofu soup, crispy ribs, four aromatic dishes were brought out by you and placed on the dining table.

You also served two bowls of rice, but Zhao'er seemed not to know how to use chopsticks, her movements comically imitating yours.

"Let me feed you instead."

Like feeding a child, you took a soup spoon and alternated between feeding her rice and vegetables.

Seeing her eat so deliciously, your heart felt as if it was filled with honey, sweet and content.

Honestly, you never expected Zhao'er to be able to speak or eat like a normal person.

In less than two days since coming out of the underground palace, she was becoming more and more like a normal person.

You looked down at your wound that had already healed and suddenly thought that Zhao'er's ability to speak might be because she drank your blood.

Therefore, after the two of you had finished all the food, you deliberately cut your finger with a small knife, squeezed out a bit of blood, and extended your finger to Zhao'er's mouth. However, Zhao'er shook her head and said with a voice as pleasant as silver bells, "Full."
