Chapter 276 Female Anchor 17
Wu Xinrou smiled and said, "But I know you! You are Zhou Zhibin's mother, right?"
The aunt was surprised: "Do you know our Zhibin?"
Wu Xinrou nodded. "I've also eaten the big meat buns you made. They have fennel water in them, and they're so fragrant!"
"Oh my!" The aunt slapped her thigh, "That's right!"
She carefully observed Wu Xinrou's face and suddenly remembered: "You are Wu... Wu from the Ping'an Orphanage in front..."
Wu Xinrou smiled and continued, "Wu Xinrou. Zhou Zhibin and I used to be desk mates."
"Oh my!" The old lady pulled Wu Xinrou with a look of surprise. "It's been a long time since we last met. You're getting more and more beautiful!"
The two chatted for a while, and when Wu Xinrou was about to leave, the old lady stopped her and warned her, "There have been a lot of children missing lately. There are so many children in your orphanage, so you have to be very careful!"
Wu Xinrou thanked the other party for his kindness and returned to the orphanage with the cake.
Speaking of this incident at the dinner table, Dean He sighed and said, "It's truly a sin. A good child just disappeared without a trace."
Wu Xinrou looked at the children slurping their food like piglets and threatened them, "There's a wolf grandma outside lately. Play in the yard. If you don't behave and run out, you'll be eaten by the wolf grandma!"
The little ones nodded repeatedly in fear.
The two older children who were in elementary school looked at each other and smiled secretly.
Wu Xinrou gave each of them a chicken leg and warned them, "There's a child missing up there. Go home quickly after school and don't run around. Okay?"
He Yue is in the second grade this year. She was abandoned by her family because she had a heart disease. She nodded obediently when she heard this.
He Xian patted his chest and said carelessly, "Don't worry, Sister Xiaorou, we won't run around!"
Ho Yin is in the fourth grade this year. He has one leg longer than the other, so he walks with a limp and can't run fast.
Wu Xinrou became even more worried when she saw his arrogant look.
So, in the afternoon she went to a specialty store in the city and bought a phone watch for each child in the orphanage.
"My and grandma's phone numbers are saved in it. Just call if you have any problems, okay?" Wu Xinrou reminded him worriedly.
The children nodded obediently.
Wu Xinrou planned to stay in the orphanage for a while. When Zhang Yichen found out, he threw a tantrum at home and wanted to come find her.
Zhang's parents had no choice but to let him do what he wanted.
"I feel like my mom hasn't been acting right lately!" Zhang Yichen muttered to Wu Xinrou as soon as he arrived. "Ever since she got that rejuvenation injection, I've felt like something's wrong at home!"
"Rejuvenating needle?" Wu Xinrou was curious.
Zhang Yichen nodded. "It's that new thing Corning has released that claims to rejuvenate people. My mom got an injection, and hey, she looks younger now!"
Wu Xinrou frowned and called Liang Qi.
"Xiaorou, what's wrong?"
Liang Qi's voice is as energetic as ever.
Wu Xinrou felt relieved: "If nothing happens, then I can't come to you?"
"Hahaha, how could that be possible!"
The two chatted for a few minutes and then hung up the phone.
Liang Qi was just about to play another game when a colleague came over and called her, saying that her supervisor wanted to see her for something.
Liang Qi came to the office and found two other people inside.
One of the women, who was in her fifties or sixties, looked at her with satisfaction in her eyes.
Somehow, Liang Qi shuddered subconsciously.
That afternoon, Zhang Yichen was competing with several little boys in the orphanage in digging a sand pit when his cell phone rang.
"Hey?"
"Xiaochen, is Miss Wu with you?" His sister Zhang Yifei's panicked voice came from the phone, interspersed with strange screams.
Zhang Yichen was startled: "Sister, what's wrong?"
Zhang Yifei's voice was filled with tears: "Xiaochen, can you bring Miss Wu back? Mom... Mom is in trouble!"
When Wu Xinrou and Zhang Yichen arrived at Zhang's house, they saw Zhang's mother tied to a chair with a dark complexion and eyes rolled back. She looked emaciated as if all her blood and essence had been sucked out.
Wu Xinrou opened her eyes and saw a ghost child who looked about three or four years old lying on Zhang's mother's head, gnawing at her head.
There is a vague causal line between the ghost boy and Zhang's mother.
The ghost boy felt Wu Xinrou's gaze and looked at her fiercely with his red and bloodshot eyes.
Wu Xinrou walked up to the ghost boy, grabbed the back of his neck and lifted him up.
The ghost boy screamed sharply and opened his mouth wide to bite Wu Xinrou's hand.
Wu Xinrou was quick-witted and quick-handed. She pinched the ghost boy's deformed neck with one hand and covered his head with the other hand, gently covering the ghost boy's whole body with the golden light of merit.
As she moved, the ghost boy's struggle gradually stopped, the blood and tears on his face faded, and his eyes gradually became clear.
Wu Xinrou changed from pinching to hugging, letting the ghost boy sit on her arm, and her other hand loosely wrapped around his body.
After the ghost boy left, the color returned to Zhang's mother's face and she began to breathe heavily.
Wu Xinrou signaled to everyone: "Okay!"
The others hurried forward to untie the ropes that bound Zhang's mother. Zhang's mother leaned against Zhang's father, unable to speak, and she looked twenty years older.
The ghost boy leaned his little head on Wu Xinrou's shoulder and did not stop the actions of Zhang Yichen and others. He just occasionally looked up at Wu Xinrou with a wronged look and pointed at Zhang's mother and muttered something.
The others looked at Wu Xinrou's strange posture in awe. Zhang Yichen swallowed and asked cautiously, "Xiaorou, what's going on?"
"There's something wrong with that rejuvenation needle," Wu Xinrou paused, looking at Zhang's mother with pity, "the raw material it uses is a child's brain."
Mother Zhang's eyes widened instantly, and then a wave of nausea surged in her heart: "Ugh..."
"what?!"
Everyone else was terrified. Zhang Yixuan said with trembling lips, "Are you...are you sure?"
Wu Xinrou looked at the ghost child leaning against her and nodded to Zhang Yixuan: "The owner of the brain told me so, it can't be wrong."
Master of the brain?
Zhang's mother couldn't bear the blow and fainted with her eyes rolled back.
After a period of chaos, Zhang's mother was sent to the hospital. Zhang Yixuan began to narrate the story of Zhang's mother receiving the rejuvenating injection with a grim expression.
It turned out that ever since Jian Yifeng and Zhang Yixuan talked about the rejuvenating needle, the filial Zhang Yixuan went to inquire about the news.
The result was surprising; the rejuvenating injection actually worked.
Zhang's mother is not in good health. Back pain is just a minor problem. She also often feels dizzy and has to be hospitalized once or twice a year.
After Zhang Yixuan confirmed that the rejuvenating injection was effective, he went home and told his mother.
In fact, Zhang's mother had a video call with Jian Yifeng's mother before. Looking at the other person's face that looked twenty years younger, Zhang's mother was very envious.
However, considering the price of eight million per injection, Zhang's mother was a little reluctant, so she did not mention it to her family.
After Zhang Yixuan knew his mother's thoughts, he asked Jian Yifeng's mother to get a rejuvenating needle.
After the injection, the Zhang family was stunned.
