Chapter 1475: Corpse Oil Smeared On His Body
From the body of Xie Yiyuan, Ning Shu caught a whiff of a peculiar smell. It was foul yet fragrant, truly strange. Ning Shu had smelled it before she even stepped into the room.
She never imagined it would be corpse oil. The smell became stronger when she got near Xie Yiyuan just now.
As soon as Xie Weiming heard about corpse oil, his face grew unsightly. He asked in a low voice, “Is it someone who wanted to hurt him on purpose?”
Ning Shu replied faintly, “Corpse oil is from corpses. The dead have a heavy Yin energy, so it’s easy for bad things to happen if you have corpse oil smeared on your body.”
Xie Weiming frowned, looking at the bed where Xie Yiyuan was lying. His eyes became particularly fierce.
Xie Weiming had the servants boil calamus water and give Xie Yiyuan a bath.
Ning Shu sat on the sofa with her legs crossed. Seeing Xie Weiming come over, she said, “I don’t have a place to live, so arrange a room for me next to your son’s. That way, I’ll be the first to know if anything happens.”
Xie Weiming naturally had no objections.
Ning Shu added, “Master said that you must pay more this time.”
Xie Weiming was stuck between laughter and tears. He nodded and said, “Money isn’t a problem. I just wish for my son to be healthy and the company to get back on track. Recently, there have been a lot of strange things happening. Employees keep having accidents. If this goes on, the company will go bankrupt. Help me take a look at the company.”
Ning Shu said, “Alright.”
After resting for a while, Ning Shu concocted medicine for Xie Yiyuan and then carried it to him.
Xi Yiyuan’s room’s temperature was high, and the light was incomparably dazzling. Xie Yiyuan’s bedsheet was already wet from his own sweat.
Ning Shu got a servant to bring some water for Xie Yiyuan. If he continued to sweat buckets like this, he would die from dehydration.
But the servants knew that Xie Yiyuan had encountered something evil, so none of them dared to get close to them, fearing that they might attract the attention of the ghost.
It caused Xie Weiming to lose his temper. He then personally took care of his son.
Ning Shu was able to understand the servants too. If they got involved in this kind of thing, they would likely end up dead or barely alive.
In the next few days, Ning Shu took care of Xie Yiyuan. After drinking the medicine for some time, his pulse wasn’t so chaotic.
Now, if she pasted a talisman on Xie Yiyuan’s body, he didn’t have any radical reaction. Evidently, the baleful energy and Yin energy in his body were almost gone.
Xi Yiyuan had to recuperate properly, or his body would collapse.
Xie Weiming also noticed that his son was much more normal and he wasn’t as crazy as before in trying to commit suicide all the time.
Xie Yiyuan was also a lot more sober. When he woke up, he could recognize people, which made Xie Weiming relieved.
This period of time had really been hard for Xie Weiming. His wife had died early and left their only child. His son returned after studying abroad half a year ago and started to manage the company. But unexpectedly, such a thing happened.
Xie Weiming could discern that Ning Shu had quite a bit of ability. He praised the old man in front of Ning Shu, saying that he was a great teacher to have taught such an excellent apprentice.
Xie Weiming wanted to have Ning Shu go to his company as soon as possible. He said to Ning Shu, “Little Daoist, come with me to the company today.”
“Just call me Tao Qin, please. Let’s go to the company,” said Ning Shu.
Xie Weiming looked at Ning Shu up and down and asked, “Do you only have this set of clothes?”
Ning Shu’s clothes were indeed rustic, so she could only nod. “Yep, I only have these.”
“What kind of clothes do you like? I’ll ask the secretary to buy you a couple. Do you like skirts?” Xie Weiming saw that Ning Shu didn’t look like a girl at all. What girls nowadays were like her?
Ning Shu waved her hand and said, “Jeans and T-shirts will do. Skirts aren’t convenient to work in.”
Xie Weiming asked his secretary to buy clothes for her. Ning Shu changed into jeans and a T-shirt and tied her hair into a bun.
Afterward, she only took the cow tears along with her. She got in the car and went to the company with Xie Weiming.
