Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser - Chapter 1151
Chapter 1151: Eating Food for the Dead
Chi Shuyan pulled off the two charred talismans on Xiao Ningjin and Wei Panyang’s foreheads. When she pulled them off, the two of them saw with their own eyes that the talismans on their foreheads had turned black.
No matter how dumb they might be, they could make some guesses about the charred talismans, not to mention that they weren’t stupid. They both sucked in sharp breaths at the thought that they might have become tangled up with some ghost thing. They couldn’t calm down for a long time, and they didn’t understand how they could have provoked such a thing at all!
Xiao Ningjin and Wei Panyang’s eyes were filled with horror. When they spoke, their voices were choked with emotion.
“Master… Master Chi, what… what’s wrong with me and Ning’er? And… Ah Hao… Is… Is he okay?” Wei Panyang’s voice trembled. One could imagine the fear in his heart.
Chi Shuyan took in everyone’s pale faces and said, “Chang Hao is fine. He’ll wake up later! As for the two of you…” At this point, she subconsciously glanced at the empty bowls in front of them.
Xiao Ningjin keenly understood Chi Shuyan’s meaning. His face changed and he immediately asked, “Master Chi, is there a problem with the noodles?”
As soon as Xiao Ning said that, Jiang Duo and Xiong Luoying immediately stared with wide eyes. They hadn’t eaten the noodles just now. Mother Wei had kindly cooked several bowls of noodles for them. They hadn’t thought anything about it at that time.
The noodles were so fragrant that everyone swallowed their saliva. The others immediately picked them up and ate them all, but Jiang Duo and Xiong Luoying didn’t really like to eat noodles, so they accepted Mother Wei’s good intentions but didn’t touch them.
Thinking of how only their talismans hadn’t turned black, Jiang Duo and Xiong Luoying became more and more suspicious of Mother Wei. However, Mother Wei was Wei Panyang’s mother. Even if she really harmed them, how could she harm her own son?
Wei Panyang’s eyes immediately widened. “That’s impossible. It would be impossible for my mother to harm me. It’s impossible for there to be anything wrong with these noodles.”
…
Wei Panyang said with a pale face, “Master Chi, say something. This definitely has nothing to do with my mother, right?”
Seeing everyone looking at her nervously, Chi Shuyan said, “It’s indeed not Mother Wei doing you harm, but there’s indeed something wrong with these noodles. This is food for the dead! Living people can’t eat it!”
As soon as Chi Shuyan said that, Xiao Ningjin, Jiang Duo and Xiong Luoying were so scared by the words “food for the dead” that they almost kicked away the bowls in front of them. Dense cold sweat immediately covered their foreheads, and chills ran down their spines.
In particular, Xiao Ningjin thought about how they had been eating what Mother Wei had brought over all day. Jiang Duo and Xiong Luoying were fine; they were picky eaters. Mother Wei had cooked noodles, and the two hadn’t touched them.
Now that Wei Panyang knew that his mother had cooked them food for dead people, his eyes widened in shock. “Impossible, impossible! Impossible!”
He said it was impossible, but he firmly believed Master Chi’s words. In addition, Chang Hao had spat out blood just now, so Wei Panyang panicked.
At that moment, Xiao Ningjin recalled that Mother Wei had been acting a little strange. Panyang had clearly said before that his mother seldom cooked. How could someone who couldn’t even tell salt from white sugar cook such outstanding and delicious food?
An absurd and terrifying guess appeared in Xiao Ningjin’s mind, and he hurriedly looked at Master Chi.
Chi Shuyan didn’t hide it anymore. She nodded and said, “There’s something wrong with Wei Panyang’s mother! She must have been possessed by something!”
This news was even more shocking than what they had just eaten.
When Wei Panyang heard that his mother might have been possessed by some ghost thing, his face changed drastically in fright. Afraid that something had happened to his mother, he suddenly let out a cry and got out of bed to hug Chi Shuyan’s leg. Chi Shuyan hurriedly pressed down on his shoulder and made him sit on the bed.
Wei Panyang simply hugged Chi Shuyan’s arm and wailed, “Master Chi, I beg you, I beg you to save my mother! I beg you! I beg you!”
Chi Shuyan was about to speak, when she suddenly heard movement at the door. With a dark face, she told Wei Panyang to shut up first.
Wei Panyang: …
Xiao Ningjin and the others: …
The door suddenly opened with a creak. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Mother Wei stagger in with a tray in her hands. She said lovingly, “Panyang, are you hungry? I made some more food. Everyone has a portion.”
If it were before, the boys would have been delighted at Mother Wei’s words. However, Master Chi had exposed Mother Wei.
The boys gritted their teeth and shuddered violently. They hurriedly swallowed their saliva and their faces turned white. It was only when they saw Master Chi in front of them that they calmed down a little.
“Oh, Panyang, you have a new visitor. Why didn’t you tell me in advance? I’ll make more food for all of you to eat!” Mother Wei gave Chi Shuyan an affectionate look as she placed the tray on the table.
Wei Panyang really didn’t believe that his mother would cook them food for the dead, but at that moment, he suppressed the fear in his heart and carefully observed his “mother” in front of him. His mother had always called him Ah Yang and not Panyang.
But his mother had been calling him Panyang all day today, which was very strange. The more he looked at her, the stranger things felt. If he hadn’t believed that something had possessed his mother before, he now believed 120% in what Master Chi said.
At the thought that something had possessed his mother, Wei Panyang wanted to cry. He tightened his grip on Master Chi’s arm, his face filled with panic and nervousness.
Mother Wei seemed very puzzled. No one spoke or ate. Seeing that they didn’t touch the snacks she had made, she said anxiously, “Panyang, have your friends try the snacks I made. By the way, two of your friends don’t like noodles, right? You can try these snacks first. They taste good!”
As Mother Wei spoke, she stuffed a few snacks into Jiang Duo and Xiong Luoying’s hands. As soon as they made contact with Mother Wei’s hands, which were as cold as a dead person’s, they were so scared that they almost screamed and their hands trembled. When they thought about how everything Mother Wei made was food for the dead, Jiang Duo and Xiong Luoying almost cried. Fortunately, Master Chi was here now. The two suppressed the fear in their hearts and looked at her. She looked at them calmly and said nothing.
The two relaxed and didn’t dare alert the enemy. Their voices trembled as they said in unison, “No… no… no, no need! We… we don’t eat these snacks either!”
