Chapter 160 Being lowered
~
Before the car stopped, we heard the sound of gongs and drums outside.
They looked out of the car window and saw that the department store was already crowded with people.
Among the crowd, there were people playing with lions, beating drums and gongs, and many people setting up stalls selling various snacks. It was very lively.
Ruan Zhao parked the car in a place where it would not be in the way, and several people got out of the car.
As soon as Qin Ze and Qin Mu saw the people playing with the lion, they immediately ran over there excitedly.
"Brother, there is a big lion over there, let's go and see it."
"it is good."
Ruan Zhao and others hurriedly followed.
After looking around for half an hour, they went shopping in the department store, bought some things, and then drove to a famous park nearby.
The park is also very lively, with many acrobatic performances and stalls.
Qin Ze and Qin Mu ran straight to an acrobatics stall. Ruan Zhao was not afraid that they would get lost, so he let them watch the fun.
"Brother, there's a monkey!"
"Look, mom! That little monkey is so awesome!"
Because today is a holiday, many parents brought their children out to play, and there were many children gathered outside the acrobatic circle.
Ruan Zhao saw a man selling candied haws nearby, so he went over and bought a few.
As Luo Yang walked outside the acrobatics circle, he ran into someone he knew. "Third Aunt."
Meng Fang, who was standing nearby, turned around after hearing the voice and was surprised to see Luo Yang. "Yang Yang, why are you here?"
As he spoke, he caught sight of Shen Yanqing beside him, and his eyes immediately lit up. "Is this your girlfriend? So good, boy, you actually found such a beautiful girl. Why didn't you tell Auntie?"
When Shen Yanqing heard that Meng Fang had misunderstood, she glanced at Luo Yang and motioned him to explain clearly.
Luo Yang glanced at Shen Yanqing and scratched his head shyly. "Aunt, you misunderstood. She is my colleague."
Seeing Luo Yang's shy look, Meng Fang knew that Luo Yang had set his sights on Shen Yanqing, but hadn't gotten her yet. "Ah, Auntie, I understand. Then you better try harder. Such a beautiful girl, try to get her home as soon as possible."
Luo Yang glanced at Shen Yanqing again, his face full of smiles. "Don't worry, Third Aunt, I'll treat you to wedding candy sooner or later."
When Shen Yanqing heard what the two said, she was not shy and simply walked directly to Qin Ze and Qin Mu to watch the acrobatics.

Suddenly, Meng Fang's son Luo Qiang tugged at her sleeve and shouted, "Mom! I want that monkey too. Buy it for me."
When Meng Fang heard this, she quickly pulled Luo Qiang's hand away and said, "Oh, son, this monkey can't be kept at home. We can't buy it."
Luo Qiang got anxious when he heard this and immediately started throwing a tantrum. "I won't! I want to buy it. If other people can keep it, why can't I?"
When the people around heard what he said, they all looked over here.
Meng Fang's face suddenly turned red, and she hurried forward to stop Luo Qiang, but Luo Qiang made even more trouble.
When Luo Yang saw this, he hurried forward to help persuade him.
When Ruan Zhao came over, he saw Luo Qiang sitting on the ground crying. Luo Yang and Meng Fang were trying to pull Luo Qiang up, but Luo Qiang was too big and struggled so hard that they couldn't hold him back.
Ruan Zhao walked over to Shen Yanqing and asked, "Qingqing, what happened?"
Shen Yanqing twitched her chin and replied simply and clearly, "Luo Yang's cousin wanted to buy the monkey, but his mother wouldn't let him."
"Ah! If you don't buy it for me, I won't get up! I want it!"
Luo Qiang let out a loud howl, startling everyone.
Seeing that the child was making more and more noise, affecting the acrobats so much that they couldn't perform, Ruan Zhao gave the candied haws to Qin Ze and Qin Mu, then walked over to take a look.
After seeing Luo Qiang sitting on the ground and making a scene, Ruan Zhao was stunned.
No wonder it's still like this at such a big age, it turns out someone tampered with it.
Seeing Luo Yang and Meng Fang anxiously standing beside him, Ruan Zhao walked straight over, raised his hand and pointed his index finger directly at the center of Luo Qiang's eyebrows.
The next second, Luo Qiang, who was crying non-stop, suddenly quieted down.
Ruan Zhao squatted down, his voice seemed to carry magic. "Are you sleepy? If you are, go to sleep."
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Qiang closed his eyes and leaned back.
Meng Fang saw him and quickly caught him from behind, "Qiang Qiang, Qiang Qiang."
Ruan Zhao comforted her, "Don't worry, he's fine, he just fell asleep."
Meng Fang turned her head to look at Ruan Zhao and asked anxiously, "Comrade, what...what did you do to him just now?"
Luo Yang realized something and quickly came over to ask, "Ruan Zhao, is there something wrong with my cousin?"
Ruan Zhao didn't deny it, but asked Meng Fang, "Has he been like this a lot lately?"
When this was mentioned, Meng Fang frowned in worry. "Yeah, Qiangqiang used to be a very well-behaved child, but lately, I don't know what's wrong with him. He gets angry all the time. If you don't give in to him, he'll throw a tantrum like he did today."
Luo Yang thought about what happened last time and immediately asked Ruan Zhao, "Ruan Zhao, has my cousin gotten into trouble with some bad guys?"
Meng Fang's pupils widened after hearing this.
She knew about Luo Yang's incident, but apart from crying, Luo Qiang was quite normal most of the time, so she didn't think about it that way.
Now that Luo Yang mentioned it, she realized something.
Ruan Zhao glanced at the people watching the excitement and didn't answer. "It's not convenient to talk here. Pick up your cousin first."
Luo Yang also remembered that there were many people around, so he quickly responded and picked up Luo Qiang.
Ruan Zhao looked around and pointed to a bench not far away. "Let's go over there."
~
Luo Yang nodded and quickly carried Luo Qiang over there.
As soon as they left, the onlookers continued to watch the circus.
While walking, Luo Yang had already told Meng Fang Ruan Zhao's identity.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Meng Fang asked Ruan Zhao with a worried look on her face. "Comrade Ruan Zhao, is my son really in trouble?"
Ruan Zhao shook his head. "It's not a dirty thing, it's a curse."
Although Meng Fang didn't understand, she was still frightened. "What is black magic?"
Ruan Zhao explained, “It’s a kind of evil magic that can control people’s minds and behaviors.
Someone must have pulled out his hair or taken his blood, and then used it to create a black magic spell in order to control him."
For fear of scaring Meng Fang, she didn't explain it in too much detail.
After hearing this, Luo Yang asked directly, "Then can you help him get rid of this black magic?"
Meng Fang nodded repeatedly when she heard this, "Yes, Comrade Ruan Zhao, please help my son. I can pay for it."
Ruan Zhao did not respond immediately, but walked forward and pulled open Luo Qiang's eyelids to take a look.
After seeing the black line on the white of Luo Qiang's eye, Ruan Zhao frowned. "Aunt Meng, what is Luo Qiang's birth date?"
Meng Fang was stunned for a moment and quickly told Ruan Zhao.
Ruan Zhao calculated it, and then said, "Your son's matter is a bit complicated.
The person who cast the spell didn't want to control him, but it was just an accident. I guess they accidentally took the wrong hair or blood and ended up taking his.
Moreover, only half of the black magic was cast on him, and there was still a bewitching talisman that was not placed on him. Or perhaps, the talisman might have been placed on the person who really wanted to cast the black magic.
In order to remove this half of the black magic from him, we must find the talisman paper."
Meng Fang was extremely anxious when she heard this. "Then where is the talisman paper?"
Ruan Zhao thought for a moment and continued, "The other party isn't coming for your son, so I can't figure out their identity.
Aunt Meng, have you ever thought about whether your son has encountered anything strange recently?
Meng Fang thought carefully, but after a long time, she couldn't come up with anything. "No, my son is quite quiet. He usually stays at home except for school. He only goes to work with his father occasionally. He hasn't encountered anything strange."
Luo Yang agreed after hearing this, "Yes, although my cousin is a boy, he likes quietness the most. He won't run around like other boys."
Ruan Zhao suddenly thought of something, "Aunt Meng, what does your husband do for a living?"
Meng Fang didn't understand why Ruan Zhao asked this, but she replied anyway. "Oh, my husband is the director of the logistics department of the military security department."
Ruan Zhao continued to ask, "Do you know his birth date?"
"know."
After Meng Fang finished speaking, Ruan Zhao counted on his fingers again, and soon the corners of his mouth curled up.
"found it."
