C1880 We Are Such a Match Made in Heaven
The appearance of the weird old man scared Xie Yuqing once again. She had completely shrunk behind Liu Lei and was trembling. She did not dare to stand out and speak.
Liu Lei looked the old man up and down.
Then, he calmly replied:
"It's nothing, it's just that my wife is cowardly, I wasn't scared by you."
"We have to leave first. Continue sweeping the floor."
With that, Liu Lei held Xie Yuqing's hand and walked around the weird old man.
Xie Yuqing's legs trembled as she passed by the strange old man.
Fortunately, Liu Lei blocked the way to the weird old man, otherwise Xie Yuqing would have been too scared to walk.
Actually, Liu Lei was always getting ready.
As long as this old man acted rashly, he would immediately retaliate.
But fortunately, the old man didn't have any intention of attacking and directly let them leave.
From a distance, Xie Yuqing turned around and saw that the old man was still staring at them.
Furthermore, he had a bizarre smile on his face.
Xie Yuqing's body suddenly trembled. She did not dare to look back as she quickly followed beside Liu Lei.
"That old man just now was so scary. What happened to him? Is he already a ghost?"
Xie Yuqing asked with lingering fear.
The impression that old man gave was indeed very much like a ghost, and Xie Yuqing couldn't be blamed for thinking that.
"No, he's not a ghost."
"He was only heavily attacked by the Yin Qi, so he looks quite strange."
"So, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to attack us, I won't hurt him."
"Once the matter here is settled, he might be able to continue living."
Liu Lei answered.
"So this is how Yin Qi enters the body."
Xie Yuqing said fearfully.
"Actually, there are many different kinds of symptoms, not just the one just now. But that one is quite severe."
"It's so serious that my body is about to be controlled. I only have a tiny bit of consciousness left."
"This little bit of consciousness caused him to come out and sweep the floor at night."
Liu Lei helplessly shook his head and said:
"Looks like I have to solve this problem as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the frail old man won't be able to last for long. He won't be able to live for more than two days."
"No matter how healthy an adult is, they wouldn't be able to withstand Yin Qi, let alone an old man like that."
"Whether or not he can live will depend on his luck."2
Hearing this, Xie Yuqing suddenly felt that the old man was a bit pitiful, diluting her fear.
As the saying goes, a man dies a great death.
No matter how scared she was, Xie Yuqing's heart softened when she recalled that it was someone who was on the verge of death.
"Then let's quickly settle this matter. We definitely can't delay any longer."
"We want to save the lives of all the inhabitants!"
Xie Yuqing said firmly.
"Then what if it takes a lot of time? For example, all night long. Are you not going to work tomorrow?"
Liu Lei asked with a smile.
Xie Yuqing hesitated for a moment.
After all, for a workaholic like her, work was a huge weight.
However, after only hesitating for a short moment, her expression became firm again and she said:
"It doesn't matter. All night long!"
"Compared to the lives of so many residents, not going to work is nothing!"
"I will definitely hold on until this matter is over!"
"Hahaha, it seems that my wife still has a strong sense of justice. To be able to compete with a fourth young master like me, we are truly a match made in heaven."
Liu Lei laughed. He felt like he was liking Xie Yuqing more and more.
