Chapter 181 Doubt

"That's not." Xicheng's mother denied, "but the two were frightened and spoke in a mess. Later, they rested for a long time before returning to work."

"When they were resting, another strange thing happened. There were several workshops in our factory. Our workshop was mainly spinning, and our front workshop was made of silk reels. The silk reels were made of hot water, and the workshop was very hot, and then the female workers often fainted from heatstroke."

"As a result, all the female workers who fainted from heatstroke would say something very strange during that time."

Xicheng: "What?"

"They said that it was too stuffy and too hot, and they had to cut the head open and cool down. As a result, one day, one night, a girl who had heatstroke woke up with a fruit knife and half-opened her eyes and asked, "Are you hot? I'll cut the head open and cool down?"

"In the end, there was no way to make a fuss, so the factory reported the matter. Not long after, your father was sent to the factory." When Xicheng's mother said here, she smiled and a red cloud flew on her face. Maybe she thought of Xicheng's father's style back then, and her mood seemed to have returned to her youth.

"No one of us knows what your father does. The factory only says that it was someone sent by superiors to solve our problems. Your father took a compass and walked around the factory, and then asked us to have a vacation in the silk and spinning workshops. I was brave at that time. Although I had a vacation, I sneaked back."

"I just want to see if your dad is the master of their rumor."

Xicheng's face unconsciously smiled. I think this kind of thing should be more common in that era than now. Although the identity of an expert is a bit strange, they should still be in awe at that time.

Xicheng's mother continued, "As soon as I went back, I bumped into your father catching monsters in our workshop. I don't know what he was fighting with. I lay down on the workshop and saw a broken window. I was watching it. Suddenly my head buzzed, and then the world changed."

Xicheng didn't expect that his mother and father would have such a magical experience. For a moment, his eyes widened and asked anxiously: "What has it become?"

"It turns into... how to say it, it's like a dream. I float in the sky, but I can see another me below." Xicheng's mother tried her best to explain.

"The third perspective?" Zhang Ze was curious and continued.

"No, it's the soul that comes out of body." Xicheng, as a monster hunter, was obviously more professional at this time.

After he said this, Zhang Ze also understood that Xicheng's mother should have been hit by a monster at that time, and her soul rushed out of her body and was taken away.

"What about later?" Xicheng asked quickly.

"I just watched your father start searching everywhere in the workshop. When I turned around, I looked at the place where I was hiding. Another one giggled. I sometimes dreamed of nightmares now. It was so strange. It felt like a human laugh, not like a human being. Especially when I saw myself laughing, it was even more scary."

"I was anxious at the time. I wanted to say that I was here, why is there another me there? But I was so light and couldn't fall to the ground. I had to watch the other I twisted like a bug, trying to get down from the windowsill to the ground."

"But your father moved faster. He jumped out of the window, used a long sword, and a yellow paper talisman was pasted on it. Suddenly, he hit my head a little, and said: Come out for me! Then he pulled hard. I felt like a piece of skin was torn off all over my body, which hurt me and screamed."

"Then I saw a very big moth sticking to the sword, which was pulled out of my head. Your father used a bag to put the moth in a bag. It was strange that the bag was very small and the moth was very big, but once the bag was a bag, the moth disappeared."

"Then your father raised his head, looked at me flying in the sky, and said, "Why don't you get off now! Be careful that your body will be snatched by someone again. Then he recited a few spells, and I felt like someone was pulling my feet, and I flew back."

Xicheng's mood was also rising and falling as her mother told her. When she heard that her soul returned to her body, she smiled unconsciously, "Then you promised me to repay my father's life-saving grace?"

"Where, then I fainted. I was taken to the hospital and lay down for two or three days before I woke up. I heard them say that I had a fever and talk nonsense those two days, which was so scary. Your father, I haven't seen me once."

"Then you guys..."

"Listen to me, I will continue to work after I get better. At that time, my mother was young and beautiful. Many people in the factory arranged to introduce me to my partner. One day, the section chief in charge of receiving your father said that when your father chatted with him, his job was of special nature and no one liked to introduce him to him. He was almost thirty and hadn't found a partner yet.

I was so happy when I heard this. I asked the section chief to help me pull the line. The section chief went to find your father and said to introduce him to a partner. Your father was so happy. When we met, your father was stunned when he saw that it was me, but there was nothing to run away. I could not say anything nice to me when I watched movies and went to the park. But I already recognized your father and insisted on marrying me if I gave up."

"At that time, I had a very unpleasant fight with your grandma and your uncle." Xicheng's mother sighed, and the smile on her face dimmed.

"Why? Wasn't my dad also a formal unit at that time?" Xicheng asked, and the matter finally came to the right place.

"Where, your father didn't have a unit at that time?" Xicheng's mother angrily said.

Xicheng is even more strange now. When Wu Chenzi talked, he said that their unit was a subordinate of the Cultural Bureau to the outside world.

Xicheng's mother continued: "Your father has no unit, it doesn't matter. If you catch a monster, they will pay him a money. Although the income is okay, it is always unstable. And how do you introduce this job to others? Everyone is in this factory and that factory. Your father catches monsters, so your grandma simply disagrees."

Xicheng's brows became deeper and deeper, but he still didn't believe it. He saw his father's studio with his own eyes.

So he asked tentatively: "Then did my dad go to work in the Cultural Bureau later?"

"Cultural Bureau?" Xicheng's mother looked at him strangely, looking in a daze.

"Yes, do you remember the Taoist priest and monk who came to my house to find me last time?" Xicheng asked his mother.

"Um."

"Aren't they my dad's friends? They said that my dad used to work with them, and the Folk Culture Research Institute under the Cultural Bureau."
