Wen Qingliu automatically ignored his gaze, patted the corners of his clothes and stood up.

"Take me over there and have a look."

When Ma Ma heard this, she became very panicked.

Her grandson just has a slight fever, there's no need to make a fuss about it.

What's more, there is more than one grandson in his room.

His son and daughter-in-law are also in the room.

My son and daughter-in-law used to run a business outside, but they never made much money.

In the past few months, I even mortgaged all my properties to fill the big hole left by my nephew's business.

He couldn't bear to see his son, daughter-in-law and their little grandson sleeping on the streets.

He secretly brought the three of them to live in his own yard without telling his master and mistress.

Originally, the servants' rooms were all large bunk beds, with several girls sleeping together.

But old people like them all have their own room.

Although it is not big, there is only a bed and a table in each room.

There are four people in their family. The son and daughter-in-law sleep on the floor, while she sleeps on the bed holding her little grandson.

Nanny Ma carried Wen Qingliu to the door of the room trembling with fear.

She turned around suddenly.

"Please wait for a moment, young lady. The principle is a bit confusing. Let me sort it out first."

Wen Qingliu saw through it but didn't say anything. After all, she didn't come here to help the couple catch anyone.

Seeing her nod, Ma Ma hurried into the house.

The daughter-in-law was holding her little grandson and coaxing him.

"Mom, why are you back so soon?"

There was no time to explain. After putting him on the bed, he urged his son and daughter-in-law to hide quickly.

The young couple looked confused.

Nanny Ma explained that someone from the owner's family wanted to see the little lion and asked about his high fever.

When the young couple heard this, they quickly found places to hide.

After seeing that they had hidden well, Nanny Ma went out to welcome Wen Qingliu.

Wen Qingliu walked in and went straight to the crying child on the bed.

With just a quick glance, she knew that the child's soul had been taken away.

It just happened last night, so it is still easy to take it back now.

Just as Wen Qingliu was about to take out the talisman, Nanny Ma came over and took her grandson away.

"Girl, the child is still young. Maybe he was infected because his parents had a fever a few days ago."

Nanny Ma was worried, fearing that the child would be so careless as to reveal the fact that his parents were also here.

Wen Qingliu sighed, his tone flat.

"Put the child down."

Of course, Ma Ma would not listen to her if this girl really knew that her son and daughter-in-law were in this courtyard.

Then the master and his wife will inevitably know about this.

Now the whole family depends on the monthly salary he earns from working in the county magistrate's office.

No matter what, she would never let her grandson tell this story and lose her job.

Wen Qingliu was speechless. She didn't know there were other children in this mansion.

I always thought An An was the only child.

It was natural to assume that the dream-eating beast's target was An An.

The child is only three years old and is very clingy because of the high fever.

Even when he was held in his grandmother's arms, he kept crying and just wanted to find his mother.

"Mom, woo woo, I want mom, mom to hold me."

The daughter-in-law, hiding in the closet, was filled with heartache when she heard her son's miserable cries.

She wanted to go out and hold her son in her arms and give him a good beating.

But she couldn't do that. Now she was living secretly in the servants' room of the county magistrate's mansion.

If she went out rashly like this, she would definitely be exposed.

Wen Qingliu repeated it again.

"Put the child down."

When Ma Ma met her gaze, she felt a sense of inexplicable fear in her heart.

He couldn't resist her strong request, and the county magistrate was also waiting on the side.

She could only put the child back on the bed tremblingly.

Wen Qingliu took out a talisman paper from his sleeve and gently tapped it on the child's forehead.

Suddenly, the child stopped crying and gradually became drowsy.

Wen Qingliu heard the voice and gently touched the top of the child's head.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep, when you wake up your baby's soul will come back."

Nanny Ma was watching in astonishment. In comparison, County Magistrate Liang's expression was much calmer.

The child fell into a deep sleep, and the couple who were hiding became a little uneasy.

Wen Qingliu took out a new talisman paper, lit it, and circled it around the child's body several times.

Even though the talisman paper was not that big, it burned extremely slowly.

After going around three times, there was still a large part of the talisman paper left.

Wen Qingliu could only continue to circle. When he reached the fourth and a half circle, the talisman paper suddenly burst into flames.

Wen Qingliu immediately grasped the fiercely burning talisman paper in his palm.

When he opened his palm again, the burning talisman paper had turned into ashes.

He dipped his fingers in the ashes and wrote some words and patterns on the child's chest and back that outsiders could not understand.

Then he tore off the talisman stuck on the child's forehead.

After a while, he woke up and his previously terrifying body temperature returned to normal.

The governor of Liang County marveled at it and took a few steps closer.

Did the child’s fever go down in just a short while?

He just saw the boy, his whole body was red due to high fever, just like a boiled shrimp.

But it only took about a quarter of an hour, and the child recovered as normal.

Liang Ruzhi sighed for a long time before he spoke.

"Is this child's soul complete?"

Wen Qingliu nodded and said, "This happened so quickly that the soul didn't leave very far."

"But those kids discovered it too late and didn't find the soul back directly."

“So those kids can’t use this method.”

As Ma Ma listened to their conversation, her legs began to tremble.

It turned out that the grandson's fever was not caused by a high fever caused by a cold contracted by his parents.

Is it because he lost a soul?

The couple who were in hiding were also shocked to hear these remarks.

They also heard about the children with fever in the town.

Didn’t you expect the truth to be like this?

If this girl hadn't come today, wouldn't their children be the same as those kids?

You have a high fever every day and the pain is unbearable?

After solving the child's problem, Wen Qingliu left.

Because he had snatched back a child's soul from the dream-eating beast.

So much so that he could now roughly guess the location of the dream-eating beast.

After all, she is different from ordinary people. She can see souls.

She could see which direction the soul came from, and roughly when it would be in that direction.

Wen Qingliu bid farewell to the Liang County Magistrate and his wife, and walked alone towards a small road west of the town.

Not far from the path, you will find a high mountain.

It was naturally impossible for Wen Qingliu to climb up, so she directly took out a blanket from the storage talisman.

After sticking a flying talisman on the blanket, she sat on it cross-legged and controlled the movements of the flying carpet.
