Xiao Yu only noticed, after being reminded by Erzhu's mother, that the living room was littered with shattered glass and porcelain pieces. Even the TV had a hole in it, still emitting smoke.

A large framed landscape painting made of glass on the wall of the living room was also damaged, with half of it scattered on the floor and sofas.

"Uncle Niu!" After spotting the middle-aged man sitting in the living room, Xiao Yu nodded and greeted him.

"Xiao Yu! Isn't your mother at home" Upon hearing Xiao Yu's greeting, the middle-aged man frowned slightly and said.

"Haha, my mom isn’t feeling well today, so I came to take a look!" Xiao Yu knew immediately what was going on when he saw the expression of the middle-aged man. He couldn't help but chuckle softly as he replied.

"Old Man, don't worry! The skills are passed down from father to son in their family!" Hearing the words of the middle-aged man, Erzhu's mother quickly interjected.

"Xiao Yu, you're back! Come take a look at what happened to our child!" Right after Erzhu’s mother spoke, a man around twenty-four or five walked out from inside and said upon seeing Xiao Yu.

This man was Xiao Yu's elementary school classmate, Erzhu. Erzhu had always been tall and muscular since childhood, and he still was to this day. Standing at 178cm with a weight of seventy-five kilograms, Xiao Yu towered over Erzhu’s 175cm height and nearly one hundred kilogram build.

Erzhu often bullied Xiao Yu relying on his large stature, but if not for Xiao Yu's sister, Xiao Yu would likely have been beaten to death by Erzhu long ago.

Xiao Yu followed Erzhu into their room. Inside was also littered with shattered glass and a wardrobe had only half of its glass panel remaining intact. The appearance of the living room and this bedroom suggested that they had just finished fighting.

In the middle of the bed in Erzhu's room, there lay a two-year-old child, lying still with eyes closed, twisting left to right non-stop, his face flushed red as if blood was about to drip out. A woman around twenty years old was crying beside him.

"Move aside and let Xiao Yu see the child!" Erzhu grabbed the sobbing young woman from the bed forcefully, with a hint of anger in his voice as he said this to her.

The weeping young woman stood up after being pulled by Erzhu and saw Xiao Yu standing behind him, nodding at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu looked at the young woman, whom he recognized as Erzhu's wife. Since both families lived relatively close to each other, despite Erzhu often bullying Xiao Yu when they were younger, no one took it seriously once they grew up. Therefore, when Erzhu got married, Xiao Yu even went to help out. Although Xiao Yu didn't return home much in recent years, he still frequently ran into her and would nod and greet her.

The young woman's eyes were swollen like peaches from crying, one side of her face was puffy, and there was a clear palm print on her face, obviously inflicted by someone.

Xiao Yu glanced at the young woman before turning his gaze to Erzhu.

Erzhu felt embarrassed under Xiao Yu's gaze. He quickly said to Xiao Yu, "Xiao Yu, take a look at the child!" No sooner had he finished speaking when his phone rang. Erzhu waved at Xiao Yu and answered the call.

Erzhu answered the phone with several affirmations before hanging up and turning to Xiao Yu, saying, "Xiao Yu, you help watch over the child first; I have to go out for a while!" With that, he turned around and walked away. His wife tried to stop him but was pushed back by Erzhu's shove, as did his parents who were also reaching out.

Xiao Yu frowned slightly at seeing Erzhu's demeanor. He had noticed a faint layer of malevolent aura on him just now.

"Wuuu..." Upon seeing her husband leave without even looking back, the young woman fell to her knees and burst into loud sobs.

Erzhu's parents sighed simultaneously as his mother comforted and tried to calm her down.

Xiao Yu didn't move away from them but instead walked towards the bed. From the moment he entered, he noticed that half of the child’s soul had separated from their body, though Xiao Yu was unsure why this had happened.

As Xiao Yu approached, he held down the wriggling child with one hand and placed the other on his wrist to take his pulse. After a moment, he released the child's wrist and reached out to feel the child’s flushed face.

"Huh" As soon as Xiao Yu touched the child’s face, which felt like it was burning hot, he uttered a surprised sound before moving his hand to check the child’s wrist and ankle. Finding nothing amiss with them, he shook his head in puzzlement, then undid the child's shirt and started feeling around their chest.

Seconds later, Xiao Yu suddenly stopped.

Earlier when touching the child's face, which felt like it was burning hot, Xiao Yu had found that while there were no issues with his wrist or ankle, his upper body temperature was extremely high compared to normal. This is why he checked the child's chest; after feeling around, he discovered that above the child’s chest, the temperature was alarmingly high, whereas below it remained at a normal body temperature.

After observing carefully for a while, Xiao Yu noticed that the child's fever was precisely at the spot where his soul had temporarily left his body. It was then that Xiao Yu became certain that the child’s fever wasn’t due to an illness but rather because of his soul leaving his body.

A moment ago when Xiao Yu felt the child’s pulse, he discovered that the child's physical condition was generally normal except for a sudden increase in heart rate, and yet nothing seemed wrong with his heart upon further examination by Xiao Yu.

Therefore, Xiao Yu was perplexed. After much thought, there was no clue pointing to anything unusual other than the scattered glass on the floor. Even though Ercol had a faint aura of煞氣 (malevolent energy), it wasn’t strong enough to affect this child in any way.

"Puh..." Suddenly, from under the child came a soft sound and an unpleasant odor spread out.

"He’s pooped. He’s pooped! Xiao Yu, please wait for a moment while I change his clothes!" Ercol's mother, upon hearing the sound and smelling the stench, smiled apologetically at Xiao Yu.

After saying that, she got onto the bed to lift up the child’s legs and saw that he had soiled himself. She then instructed her wife, Zhao Ling, "Go get him some new clothes!" As she said this, she began undressing the child from his cotton jacket.

After they finished changing the child's clothes, Ercol’s wife took a piece of paper for cleaning and stepped out.

Xiao Yu glanced casually at the paper in Ercol’s wife's hand. Suddenly his eyes narrowed and he said, "Hold on!"

Ercol’s wife paused as she heard Xiao Yu shout; looking back at him, she asked, "Xiao Yu What is it"

"It’s nothing, just give me the paper to have a look." With that said, he gestured for her to hand over the paper.

Xiao Yu picked up and smelled the paper before handing it back. He turned around to glance at the child, then looked around the room filled with broken glass pieces. He silently nodded in confirmation; he had figured out why this was happening.

The reason behind the child’s condition was due to extreme fright which caused his unstable soul to partially leave his body. Initially, Xiao Yu hadn’t considered it could be from fear, but when he saw the child’s feces and smelled a slight bitterness in it, his thoughts turned towards this possibility.

The saying “scared witless” describes such a situation; of course, this doesn't mean the literal damaging of one's gallbladder, rather because children are naturally timid, a sudden fright can cause their liver to secrete bile excessively. When the bile duct is full, it spills into the intestines and manifests in excrement.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu opened his mouth and asked Aunt Erzhu, "Aunt Erzhu, is the child's stool green"

"Um, um, yes, it's green!" Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s question, Aunt Erzhu hurriedly replied.

"Okay, that means there are no issues. The child has just been frightened. I will prick him with a needle, and he'll be fine in a while!" After listening to what Aunt Erzhu said, Xiao Yu nodded his head and smiled slightly as he spoke.

After saying this, Xiao Yu took out a golden needle from the acupuncture kit and walked over to the child. He concealed another hand inside his sleeve and made a finger sign with it.

The moment Xiao Yu got beside the child, the hand making the finger sign swiftly pressed in front of the child’s head.

In the eyes of Erzhu's family members, when Xiao Yu did this, it seemed like his hand was going to touch the forehead of the child. As soon as Xiao Yu’s hand pressed down, the part of the soul that had left the child's body was then pushed back inside.

Upon seeing the child's soul enter the body, with one hand holding the golden needle, he lightly pricked the area on the child's abdomen where the gallbladder is located. Since the child had been frightened and hadn't recovered yet, Xiao Yu used the golden needle to regulate his bile secretion.

With the hand that was holding the golden needle, Xiao Yu gently twisted it while the other hand massaged the acupoints on the child’s head, soothing the nerves that were tense from being scared.

The child who had been moving around restlessly gradually calmed down after fifteen minutes of treatment. His breathing became regular and his face, which was close to bleeding due to the fright, returned to normal.

Five more minutes passed, and when Xiao Yu saw that the child had completely recovered and was now asleep, he couldn't help but exhale in relief.

"Aunt Erzhu, the child is fine. Just don’t let him get frightened again. Although I saved him here today, it won’t be so simple next time!" Seeing the child had recovered, Xiao Yu said to Erzhu's family members.

"Sigh... Alright, Xiao Yu, we understand, and we won't scare the kid anymore," Erzhu’s mother sighed as she replied. When Erzhu’s wife heard this, she once again started sobbing beside him.down along the tracks and made various gestures as if playing with someone.In reality, she couldn’t see that over ten ghosts surrounded her and were amusing themselves by interacting with her stiffene...
