Eighteen, Lowering the Head

  Eighteen, Lowering the Head

  As the figure of White Feather disappeared into the streets, the middle-aged man seemed to have exhausted all his energy, letting out a long sigh. "That guy is finally gone." His gaze turned to the subordinates still on the ground, and he couldn't help but sprinkle it on them. He raised an eyebrow and said, "A bunch of useless trash, what are you doing lying there? Get up quickly for me!" However, after being hit by White Feather's chaotic blows, each of them was like a scattered frame, struggling to get up. They all supported their bodies with great effort, but it seemed to have little effect, as if they were rolling around like maggots.

  The middle-aged man's anger in his heart was even more fierce, he came to the front of the thugs, lifted his big foot and kicked them, while scolding: "Useless things, a group of useless things, useless trash."

  ................................................

  Bai Yu had already returned to the bottom of his rental building, and although he was still seething with anger, he knew that he had been caught off guard and couldn't do anything about it. He needed a well-thought-out plan to deal with those people. As he prepared to go upstairs, he saw Jin Auntie still standing at the bottom of the stairs, covered in mud, but he didn't want to bother with her and started walking towards the stairs. Just then, there was a rapid footsteps coming from upstairs, and down came a woman who looked like she was around 34 or 35 years old. It was Li Jie, a resident of the building. Li Jie was originally a full-time housewife, kind-hearted and especially caring towards Bai Yu, but since her husband had gone missing on a business trip a year ago, she would occasionally go out to find odd jobs to do. Bai Yu still held Li Jie in high regard and hastily asked: "Li Jie, where are you off to? You're in such a hurry."

  Li's wife stopped in her tracks, looked clearly at the white feather who was speaking, and hastily responded with a "yes" before continuing on her way, saying: "It's Xiao Bai, my daughter had some trouble at school, I need to hurry over and take a look, bye."

  Li stepped hastily downstairs and upon seeing Jin's muddy appearance, her face showed surprise. She quickened her pace again, walked up to Jin, reached out to grab her shoulder, and asked with concern: "Jin, what happened? How did you end up like this?"

  Jin Yi heard her words and, with a muddy face, suddenly approached his eyes, scaring Li Sao. Jin Yi smiled mysteriously at her and whispered: "I'll tell you, but don't tell anyone else, I'm a ghost."

  Li's expression was stunned, and she said, "Are you a ghost?" She immediately reacted and thought to herself that she must have gone crazy. She then carefully asked, "Sister, are you okay?"

  "I'm a ghost, what business do I have? You're the one with problems, be careful or I'll eat you up." Aunt Jin seemed to have been annoyed by Mrs. Li and actually shouted at her.

  Mrs. Li was frightened by Aunt Jin and didn't dare to answer, she retreated a few steps back, then saw Bai Yu watching from the side and hastily called out: "Xiao Bai, quickly come over and help send Aunt Jin back home."

  Bai Yu couldn't help but feel speechless, wanting to help her? Bai Yu looked at Jin Yi's current disheveled appearance and couldn't help but sigh, but thinking of Jin Yi's stinginess again made her heart still angry. Bai Yu said helplessly: "Li Shu, you'd better hurry up and go to school to see how Liu Ying is doing."

  Li's wife couldn't help but say sternly: "Xiao Bai, how can you do this? No matter what, he is your landlord, and her husband is still working outside and hasn't come back yet. As a tenant, you should be helping out. I also know that Jin Dajie has been over the top sometimes, going around saying bad things about you and making your reputation not so good, but you can't kick someone when they're down!"

  Bai Yu's face turned red when he was scolded by Li Shuo, but what she said made sense. He couldn't help feeling a little apologetic towards Jin Niang in his heart. What he did seemed really not good, and it seemed that he had become the same kind of person as her.

  However, at the beginning, Bai Yu didn't think things would become so dramatic. He thought that scaring Jin Yi into a illness would be enough, but with her poor mental quality, she ended up becoming crazy beyond his expectations. This is just what happens when one gets hysteria, being frightened too much and losing control of their mind. Actually, it's still curable. Now that the anger has been vented, why not find some time to cure her again?

  However, Bai Yu's heart suddenly skipped a beat, how did his mindset become as if he didn't put everything in his eyes? It seemed that looking at everything and thinking about some problems was completely different from before. At this time, it seemed like he wanted to achieve all the things he had thought of before, which made Bai Yu himself feel a little scared.

  This is actually the attitude of a small person who suddenly has extraordinary strength, and at this time, they will often express all the resentment that was previously in their heart. In the past, Bai Yu had watched countless times on the internet, thinking about how to take revenge on those who suppressed or looked down on him after he gained power, wealth, or authority. Now that he has capital, his inner thoughts have emerged.

  Of course, this is not the main reason. The main reason is actually related to his cultivation, but Bai Yu doesn't know that cultivators cultivate to comprehend the heavens and earth, thereby achieving a state of unity with the universe. Therefore, every cultivator has a kind of spiritual awareness that ordinary people do not possess, and in their six senses, they can always feel the differences in each person's nature. The standard for perceiving this is the strength or weakness of one's karma and merit. To say that Jin Niangzi was just a bit poisonous and had the essence of a venomous woman may not be considered a great evil, but Bai Yu couldn't help feeling a sense of disgust towards her from the moment he first saw her. Bai Yu wasn't clear why this was the case, so he directly attributed it to past events.

  Li's sister saw that Bai Yu remained silent and didn't say a word, thinking she wasn't listening to her. She couldn't help but feel a hint of disappointment in her eyes, and sighed: "I won't mention it again, I'll take her back home myself."

  "Leave it to me," said Bai Yu hastily, "I'll send her back."

  Li's wife looked at him in surprise, a flash of delight in her eyes, and immediately regained her smile, saying: "Okay."

  Bai Yu nodded and walked up to Jin Yi, stretching out a hand to grab her shoulder. But Jin Yi's expression suddenly turned violent as she struggled fiercely to break free. However, Bai Yu was much stronger, and with just a slight exertion of force, he lifted Jin Yi, who weighed over 250 pounds, off the ground. Despite her desperate struggles, it was all in vain.

  Li's face was full of surprise, she really didn't expect that Bai Yu's seemingly weak body would have such great strength.

  He carried Jin Yi to her home, took out the key from her body and opened the door, then pushed her inside and slammed the door shut. Bai Yu looked at Li Jiao who was standing there in a daze with a shocked expression and couldn't help but ask: "Li Jiao, why aren't you going to school?"

  Li's sister immediately reacted and exclaimed: "Yingying!!!" She quickly rushed downstairs, and Bai Yu looked at her hurriedly, couldn't help but smile wryly. What a passionate big sister! Suddenly, Li's sister, who was running down the stairs, seemed to slip and let out a cry of surprise; "Ah yo." She sat directly on the stairs, both hands quickly covering her right ankle, gritting her teeth and gasping for air, as if she had sprained her foot.

  Bai Yu quickly opened his own door and threw the things in his hand inside, then hurried forward to ask with concern: "Is Auntie Li okay?"

  Mrs. Li bit her lower lip, but didn't say a word. Bai Yu could tell from her expression that she was definitely not feeling well. So he squatted down and said, "Mrs. Li, let me carry you on my back." Mrs. Li suddenly felt a bit flustered, her traditional thinking made her feel embarrassed to be carried by a man. But Bai Yu didn't mind at all, saying, "Hurry up and get on, then tell me the location."

  Li's wife finally gritted her teeth and climbed onto Bai Yu's back, then said: "In the nearby hospital." Upon hearing this, Bai Yu was somewhat surprised, saying: "How did Yingying end up in the hospital? Is she sick?"

  Li's wife sighed deeply and said, "I don't know, I just heard from the teacher who made the phone call that she suddenly fainted during physical education class and is now being treated in the hospital." Bai Yu asked while rushing downstairs, "Do you know what happened?"

  "The doctor also couldn't find any specific reason," said Li, "according to the teacher's words, all the physical indicators are normal, but she has been in a deep coma all along."

  "Huh?" White Feather was somewhat perplexed, all indicators were normal yet she was in a deep coma? It was truly strange. Suddenly he remembered something, just the other day Liu Ying had been saying that she wasn't feeling too well. At the time White Feather thought it was just a cold, but never expected things to turn out like this. However, he didn't understand anything about medicine, so naturally he didn't know the specific reason either.

  The hospital where Liu Ying was staying was a small one, not far from where Bai Yu lived, but to save time, Bai Yu still took a taxi and sped along the highway. After asking for Liu Ying's room number, Bai Yu rushed over with Li Sao on his back.

  As the door opened, they saw that there were several people inside who seemed to have been there for a while. When they saw the door open, a middle-aged man with a big belly was taken aback at first, and then quickly composed himself and asked the two of them: "You must be Liu Ying's parents, I am the principal of ** Middle School."

  The two of them politely shook hands with him one after another, saying "Hello Principal." Then Bai Yu gently put Li Sao down on the ground and came to the bedside. First, he politely nodded at several people beside the bed, then his gaze turned to Liu Ying on the bed.

  His pupils suddenly contracted, and he found that Liu Ying was not as simple as being ill. He smelled a familiar feeling on Liu Ying's body, similar to the feeling when he was performing his technique. At this time, Liu Ying lay pale-faced on the bed, seemingly unconscious, making coarse breathing sounds.

  At this time, Bai Yu saw Liu Ying's current state and thought of the spell that had been cast on her. Two words involuntarily appeared in his mind - "降头".
