Chapter 77: This world is unscientific (8)
Zhang Lian Fei stood in between the two cars with a ghostly expression on his face. At this moment, some of the onlookers had already called the police. Others were trying to pull the drivers and passengers out of the two cars that collided.
Someone suddenly patted Zhang Lian Fei on the shoulder, jolting him out of his daze: “Boy, what are you still standing here for? You should hurry up and leave. You’re already lucky enough to have escaped from death’s grasp this one time. What are you still doing here? Waiting for death?!”
Zhang Lian Fei exclaimed as though he had just woken up from a dream and started to run towards the footpath. But just at this moment, another car came speeding down the road. Seeing that the black sedan was about to hit Zhang Lian Fei and cause another car accident, this time, Ren Zhu directly roared from the other side of the street: “Stop! Take 3 steps back!”
Zhang Lian Fei’s body jolted and he obediently moved back 3 steps, letting the sedan pass by the tip of his shoes. In total, only 3 seconds had passed for this entire incident. Most of the people around the two crashed cars didn’t notice this scene, but those who saw it couldn’t help but look at Zhang Lian Fei with a very strange expression, thinking: was this kid targeted by the grim reaper today?
Even Zhang Lien Fei himself didn’t really know what he should do. He was afraid that if he took a few more steps, some other incident would suddenly happen and take his life away.
Seeing everything that happened, Yi Xiao slightly frowned and raised his hand to point at Zhang Lian Fei. Zhang Lian Fei suddenly sensed that his back pocket seemed a little hot, and then it became hotter and hotter, until someone cried out in alarm: “Hey! Why is your butt smoking?!”
Zhang Lian Fei quickly reached into his pocket and threw out a small piece of wood that was now scorched black. Firmly staring at that piece of wood, his intuition told him that this thing was very ominous; it must be the cause of his disasters.
“Why are you still standing here in a daze? Hurry up and come back with me to eat lunch.”
At this moment, Ren Zhu had already walked up to his side and said this sentence very naturally. Zhang Lei Fei was quite astonished. Clearly, he had never seen this person before, but he subconsciously wanted to listen to him. Also, his body was automatically following him?! Naturally, he didn’t know that his friend was right behind him and using all his strength to push him onto Ren Zhu’s car.
“Uh……” Zhang Lian Fei silently sat in the car for a while before saying: “That, hello?”
Ren Zhu smiled when he heard this. This child looked just like a big bear dog, but surprisingly, even his IQ was similar. “That, which teacher are you at school? I don’t think I’ve seen you before? Anyway, thank you for just now. If it weren’t for you, I might have been directly hit by that black car.”
Ren Zhu nodded: “En. You really should thank me that. However, don’t you find it strange that you could actually avoid being hit by those two cars when they collided? Is your luck that good?”
Zhang Lian Fei immediately thought of the strange feeling he had before and his eyes widened: “Do you know what’s going on? I know my own luck; it has always been mediocre. Nothing good has ever happened to me. However, bad things would happen from time to time. Just now, even I couldn’t believe that I actually avoided that crash. But at that time, it seemed like something suddenly wrapped around me and blocked the impact.”
Ren Zhu smiled. He glanced at Pang Fei who was sitting beside Zhang Lian Fei and looking quite proud of himself before gently saying: “Then you should thank the other person.”
“Who is it? Is it this teach- uh, this mister driving the car?”
Ren Zhu didn’t answer his question, and instead asked: “Why did you follow Li Yao to that bookstore today? Don’t you know that the very reason your good brother has disappeared for a year was because he followed her to the bookstore?”
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Lian Fei’s naive and simple-minded look instantly vanished and he sat up like a hound on alert. He stared sharply at Ren Zhu and Yi Xiao: “Who are you? Why do you know about Xiao Fei’s matter?!”
Ren Zhu continued to smile: “It seems that you two really are good brothers. Then I’ll let him tell you himself. I’m too lazy to waste time explaining.”
Zhang Lian Fei was a little stunned when he heard this. What does he mean by letting Xiao Fei talk to him? Did these two people find Xiao Fei? Or did they intend to kidnap him, so they first pretended to be Xiao Fei’s friend to deceive him? Just when Zhang Lian Fei was wondering how he should respond to this situation, he suddenly felt a chilling wind blow beside him. Feeling a shiver down his spine, he turned around and was nearly scared to death.
“Wah—!!”
“Y-y-y-y-you!”
Pang Fei sighed and said to a terrified Zhang Lian Fei: “Fortunately, this brother I managed to pull you out from the grim reaper’s arms. Can you not look at me like that? Your brother is just a little uglier; can you stop making a big fuss?”
Zhang Lian Fei heard this familiar voice that needed a spanking and was completely stunned: “Y-you’re Pang Fei?”
Pang Fei snorted: “You can now call me Ghost Pang Fei thank you very much.”
Pang Fei then saw Zhang Lian Fei’s eyes suddenly turn red. Zhang Lian Fei turned around and didn’t say anything.
Pang Fei froze: “Ai, I already said that you can’t dislike me because I’m ugly now. Can you not be so shallow?”
“Is ugliness the problem?! Do you know what it means to be a ghost?!” Zhang Lian Fei fiercely turned back and roared. He was angry, but Pang Fei could see overflowing sadness and grief from his good brother’s eyes.
He extended a pale hand and patted Zhang Lian Fei’s back: “…… Thanks brother, I’m really happy.” Happy that I have such a good brother like you who’s always thinking of me; happy that you’re more worried about my safety than myself.
Zhang Lian Fei was stirred up by this sentence and ended up bawling the entire way back.
When they finally arrived at Pang Fei’s house, Zhang Lian Fei saw that Mother Pang was eagerly waiting at the door. The two of them couldn’t help but hug each other and start crying again, while Ghost Pang Fei stood beside them looking like he had nothing left to live for.
At lunch, everyone finally understood the entire situation. Mother Pang discovered that Zhang Lian Fei had always been rushing about trying to find what had happened to her son. And after Zhang Lian Fei heard that it was Xiao Fei who saved him in that car crash, his eyes also reddened. Finally, the three of them encouraged each other and put food into each other’s bowls, perfectly ignoring Teacher Ren and Master Yi.
Ren Zhu smiled and continued to eat when suddenly, there was an extra piece of braised pork ribs in his bowl.
Ren Zhu: ?
He glanced at Master Yi who was sitting upright and eating. He didn’t look like he had just moved to pick up a side dish. Then did this pork rib suddenly grow legs and run into his bowl? Teacher Ren felt a little doubtful, but since it was already in his bowl, he may as well eat it. Thinking this, he silently gnawed on the pork rib.
Then, when he picked up a prawn with his chopsticks and brought it back to his bowl, he found that there was another pork rib inside.
Ren Zhu: ???
This time, there definitely shouldn’t be something wrong with his eyes, right?! He quickly turned his head, but Master Yi wasn’t even looking at him.
Teacher Ren stared at the pork rib in his bowl and suddenly started to wonder: did he come across a pork ribs demons?! If he eats the pork ribs, would the demon enter his body?
Master Yi glanced over when Ren Zhu lowered his head. Seeing his confused expression, his lips slightly raised, but quickly returned to normal. Taking things from a distance, he could already play with this spell when he was 5 years old.
Consequently, Teacher Ren somehow ate half the plate of pork ribs for this meal.
Having eaten and drank to his heart’s content, Pang Fei lamented: “Mum! Today’s meal was really delicious! It’s a pity that Da Fei ate too many of the pork ribs. Ai, this big bear dog. I could only eat chicken.”
Zhang Lian Fei immediately fired back: “What are you saying?! You ate more than half the plate of pork ribs and also want to blame me for it? Don’t even think about it!”
Mother Pang simply smiled: “Alright, alright. Next time, I’ll buy some more pork ribs and make……” Mother Pang stopped halfway and the smile on her face gradually faded. Choking on her emotions, she wasn’t able to continue, and sensing where the problem was, Pang Fei and Zhang Lian Fei also stopped talking.
The atmosphere became stagnant and gloomy.
“Uh, well, let me talk about two things.” Ren Zhu looked at them and decided to speak first. “The first thing is that there really is a problem with that discovery bookstore. Tonight, I plan to go investigate the bookstore with Master Yi and potentially find something. If we run into bad people, we will directly catch them.”
“The second thing is: Zhang Lian Fei, you were targeted today. Do you still remember that burnt piece of wood? There was a curse on it. Over the next few days, you should watch out for yourself and also find an opportunity to stick this onto Li Yao’s back.”
Saying this, Ren Zhu took out a purple talisman from his pocket. Needless to say, this came from Master Yi. Who knew when the two of them had discussed this. In any case, Master Yi remained silent, so Teacher Ren had to do the talking.
Seeing the talisman, Zhang Lian Fei’s eyes lit up: “Can this talisman silently kill people?”
Teacher Ren’s mouth twitched: “Isn’t your way of thinking a little too cruel? This can just track movement.”
Zhang Lian Fei felt a little disappointed, but he quickly said: “Teacher, you don’t need to worry. I will definitely complete the task! Also, can I go with you guys tonight? I am tall and strong so I can act as a shield and lift heavy objects!”
Pang Fei immediately followed up: “Me too! Me Too! I can attack and chase things down!”
Teacher Ren turned to look at Master Yi. The latter expressionlessly spat out a few words: “I can solve this alone. Am I taking you guys along to go sightseeing?”
Ren Zhu expressed: It’s fine if you’re just pointing at those two students. Why is taking me along also a burden?!
Consequently, having always worked alone, Master Yi suddenly had two extra people and a ghost behind him, looking just like a night tour group.
