The wind was getting stronger and stronger, not only the fragments of the broken air conditioner were blown all over the sky, but also a lot of branches from the trees were blown off. Qian Jiajin didn’t dare to stay here for too long and trotted home holding the talisman that was still warm.

After pushing open the door, the warm yellow light in the house shone on his face. Qian Jiajin’s beating heart slowly calmed down, giving him a sense of survival.

Qian Jiajin’s wife, Wei Mingming, came out when she heard the voice outside the bedroom. She saw her husband’s face was pale, she couldn’t help asking: “Why does your face look ugly?”

“Just now I took a shortcut to the neighborhood, but I was almost hit by a blown-off air conditioner.” Qian Jiajin still felt a little terrified when he recalled the scene just now, and couldn’t help but take a look at the talisman in front of him. He couldn’t help being stunned for a moment. When he took out the talisman paper in his pocket earlier, it was still bright, but now it seemed to have faded, and its corner even showed some signs of burning.

Wei Mingming went to the bathroom and brought a hot towel for Qian Jiajin to wipe his face. When she walked over, she saw a yellow paper folded into a triangle in his hand: “Is it a talisman from the temple?”

“No, it’s a talisman given by the diners who came today.” Qian Jiajin recounted today’s events in detail and sighed annoyingly: “I didn’t take what the little girl said seriously at the time. I thought the young couple was playing some kind of truth or dare game and wanted to eat free meals, but I didn’t expect that he was a master with real skills. Fortunately, the master was kind and didn’t care about my narrow-mindedness. She gave me a piece of talisman paper before she leave. If this talisman didn’t suddenly burn me and stop me, I would be hit by the air conditioner.”

Wei Mingming has never been in contact with these things before, but this kind of thing would instead be believed or not, after all, this negligence was a matter of life: “You bring some gifts and go to the master tomorrow. Nothing is more important than life. You have to completely solve this bloody disaster.”

Qian Jiajin thought the same and hurried out the next day with a stored-value gold card in the store. He was dumbfounded when he saw the students in a hurry after arriving at Imperial University. He doesn’t know the name of that little master.

After struggling on the campus for a long time, Qian Jiajin remembered that the young man booked a private room by phone yesterday, so he hurried back to the store to ask the service staff, and then impatiently called Jiang Wei.

As if expecting him to come, Jiang Wei smiled as soon as he got on the phone: “Didn’t the little master tell you to come back tomorrow? Your talisman can last another day!”

Qian Jiajin almost cried when he heard this: “I can’t stand the stimulation. I don’t dare to go downstairs now. I’m afraid that dumbbells, kitchen knives, air conditioners and so on will fall from the sky. I will have a psychological shadow now. ”

Jiang Wei laughed lightly: “Even if you have a psychological shadow, there is nothing you can do. The little master is in class, and she won’t be free until five o’clock in the evening. The little master was in a good mood yesterday so she offer free service, but you didn’t accept it. You have to pay today.”

Qian Jiajin quickly said: “It should be! I will pay. It was my fault yesterday that I couldn’t recognize gold inlaid with jade. I specially prepared a gold card for our restaurant for the little master. I want to invite the little master to eat again!”

“Then you come back at five o’clock in the evening, and I will help you solve your bloody disaster first.” Before Jiang Wei hung up the phone, he kindly reminded him: “Remember to bring the talisman today, and be careful in everything.”

With Jiang Wei’s instruction, Qian Jiajin’s heart almost jumps out of his throat. He walked one step and looked around three times along the way, for fear of being hit by something. As a result, he encountered a car rushing across the road.

Qian Jiajin’s legs softened when he saw the car coming straight toward him. At the critical moment, who knows why, the car turned a corner and crashed straight into a tree on the side, which almost brush Qian Jiajin.

Qian Jiajin sat on the ground with a bang and couldn’t stand up. Subconsciously, he took out the talisman on his chest with his right hand. The color of the amulet was darker than it looked last night. The yellow paper became very fragile. As if it will turn into scraps of paper when it’s touched.

Qian Jiajin quickly and carefully put the talisman into his pocket, looking at the scrapped car beside him, he wanted to cry without tears. This was not a bloody disaster, it was like a real version of death!

The nearby traffic police came in a hurry, and as soon as the deformed car door was opened, a strong smell of alcohol gushed out from inside. The driver was a young man who seemed to have just turned 20. His hair was dyed colorful and looked like a feather duster. His forehead was covered with blood, and he was unconscious with his head tilted.

The ambulance arrived at the scene quickly and carried the young man into the ambulance. The traffic policeman saw Qian Jiajin sitting on the ground with a terrified expression. He walked over and squatted down and asked: “Are you injured? Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?”

Qian Jiajin shook his head again and again. The outside world was too dangerous. He would rather go to Imperial University to wait for the little master. Qian Jiajin felt that he had realized a truth, the place with little masters was the safest in the world.

After Lin Qingyin finished her class for the day, she saw Jiang Wei waiting outside the classroom as soon as she left the classroom. The students in the class were all used to the inseparable appearance of the two. They all smiled and winked at Lin Qingyin.

Jiang Wei greeted the students naturally, took Lin Qingyin’s schoolbag, and carried it on his shoulders. Then he lowered his head and said softly to her: “The lobby manager of that store called me early this morning, and I let him come over at five.”

Lin Qingyin’s heart moved slightly when she heard the words. She sweep her divine sense and saw Qian Jiajin sitting listlessly by the lake.

There was torrential rain last night, and the weather was a little colder today. Qian Jiajin sat on the bench with his arms folded for a full day, not even daring to go out for lunch, for fear of encountering another rampaging car.
