BXBX NOVEL Chapter 221 Human Hearts are the Coldes
Luo Qiu’s words were too heavy for him.
Momo, who had a dream, found himself too young whenever he wanted to do something.
However, it couldn’t stop him from reminding himself that he was the successor of Taoism of Dragon Tiger Mountain and his responsibility was to defeat the devils. But he had been carefully keeping the incident happened in Lui Village 45 years ago in his heart.
Because he knew.
That someday when he became more mature, he’d be able to deal with it.
History was filthier than the monsters and ghosts that he ever killed.
Momo looked at Luo Qiu, overlooking the whole Lui Village with him. Even though he dyed his hair blonde and had a tattoo of a Chinese dragon on his arms, he still didn’t like a hooligan. Instead, he looked more like a scholar.
He said, "My master once said that human hearts are the coldest."
Luo Qiu didn’t answer him but stood there, trying to think if his master’s heart was cold when he said that sentence.
Momo chose to leave.
He came here for the legend of the sea monster.
Since the legend was made up, his goal remained the present only.
That miraculous song that made people lose themselves.
Because that was true.
Momo started to recall something only after leaving. He forgot to take away or destroy the box. He didn’t even know if this senior was a good guy or a bad guy.
He returned, but neither he nor the box was there. Momo felt painful when he saw the ruins, feeling confused about the future.
He didn’t know the senior came from, not even his name.
The successor murmured to himself, "Is he...a gossiper? Hopefully he won’t spread it."
The incident in the hotel was a dark history for the young Taoism successor.
...
...
Luo Qiu met Ren Ziling and Lizi in the village, hearing from them the subsequent incidents and news that Lui Chaosheng had told them.
Looking at Lui Chaosheng’s photo, Luo Qiu said subconsciously, "It’s like mop hand."
Lizi was shocked by his profound knowledge and thought that Sister Ren’s son was excellent. Of course the more excellent one was his ‘girlfriend’, You Ye, who was present too.
Due to her optimistic nature, she gave too much thought to too many things---From Luo Qiu’s behavior along the way, it was easy to sense how serious he had spoiled Sister Ren.
It felt like their roles interchanged.
Ren Ziling nodded, "I’ve completed the thing that that girl requested but I don’t know how to tell her."
Luo Qiu suddenly asked, "Where are you heading to?"
Ren Ziling answered, "I have no idea, just take a walk to relax and seek for something special... Oh, Lizi, do you find there’s a string of shell Aeolian bells hanging under the eaves of every house?"
Lizi thought, "Maybe that’s the local custom. Like Octagonal Mirrors are hung in front of many places right?"
Ren Ziling added, "The use of those is to chase away evil spirits. But can an Aeolian bell achieve that?"
Lizi shrugged, "I don’t know. Let me ask someone."
Before Ren Ziling said ‘Yes’, a person rushed to them. That figure was Lui Yiyun who should be taking care of Lui Hai in the clinic.
She run hurriedly, panting heavily with a flurried face, "Sister Ren, have you seen my dad?"
Ren Ziling frowned, "What’s wrong?"
The girl almost cried, "I left for a second and went back but found that my dad wasn’t there! I asked the doctor, he said he didn’t see him either. What should I do? He’s still running a fever!"
Lizi comforted her, "He’ll be safe. He probably woke up and wanted to go somewhere else? Or maybe go home by himself!"
"But..."
Ren Ziling interrupted her, "Let’s go look for him separately. It’ll not be hard to find a person in this small village, unless he’s hiding intentionally."
"OK!" the girl nodded.
Luo Qiu said, "Then let’s go this way."
Luo Qiu pointed towards a direction. Ren Ziling nodded, heading towards another direction with Lizi and Lui Yiyun.
Watching the trio leave, Luo Qiu didn’t go to the way he pointed.
Instead, he checked the location of the clinic and walked towards there---It was not a hard thing for the club boss to seek a person.
Lui Hai didn’t get lost.
The information gathered showed that he was still in the clinic.
...
In the clinic, Lui Chaosheng was seeing patients. The clinic was always busy because it was the only medical facility in the village.
When Luo Qiu and You Ye passed by the consultation room, Lui Chaosheng was using a stethoscope to hear something in a kid’s body.
Lui Chaosheng, together with the kid and his parents didn’t see the two coming in.
Luo Qiu took a glimpse, going in the consultation room--- Lui Chaosheng’s office. The door was slightly opened.
At that time, no one noticed that the door was opened a little wide.
The office was small and could be viewed with one glimpse. Luo Qiu walked to a steel cabinet near to the wall. The servant girl understood tacitly, pressing her hand on the lock.
Crack.
The door opened slowly.
All the shelves were taken away. There was only a spacious area left and Lui Hai was now in this cabinet.
He was sleeping while the needle was inserted in his hand. An infusion bag was hanged above him.
There were not enough sickbeds. It was impossible to take him here for intravenous infusion.
This was Lui Chaosheng’s office, he was the only one who had the cabinet key.
