Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 844: Eight hundred forty-two, peace charm
Chapter 844: Eight hundred forty-two, peace charm
"Is it really that effective?" Lin Helian took the amulet with skepticism.
"The master who drew these talismans has consecrated them. It’s said that each talisman worn on the body can protect against three dangers. Once the three dangers have passed, the talisman will automatically turn to ashes," Luo Shu explained. The talismans she crafted were not those sold on the streets, which were merely scribbles on yellow paper. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
"That’s too miraculous!" Lin Helian examined the talisman in her hands, finding nothing special about it. However, since it was a gesture from Luo Shu, she naturally wouldn’t reject it. When she got home, she would have both Yhan Zhan and his son wear one each. Whether effective or not, wearing it would give her some peace of mind. Besides, Luo Shu wouldn’t deceive her.
"Anyway, wearing the talisman won’t do any harm. Just give it a try. That way, when Chief Yhan is on a mission, you’ll have something for emotional support. But, this talisman requires a special knot to wear it properly." Luo Shu took a talisman from Lin Helian, "Watch, this is how you tie the knot, so it won’t come off."
She deftly tied a knot and looked at Lin Helian, "Got it?"
"Got it," Lin Helian nodded with a smile.
After sitting at Luo Shu’s home for a while and seeing Lu Hanmo return, Lin Helian took her leave.
Walking to the bottom of the Guard’s Members Building, she heard children’s laughter not far away. Lin Helian turned her head and saw a group of children playing soccer on the lawn next to the building.
Seeing Yhan Cheng engrossed in playing with his friends, Lin Helian smiled and walked over. Xiao Cheng had become much more lively since he started playing with his friends.
"Mom, I scored a goal, did you see it?" Yhan Cheng had just scored and seeing Lin Helian coming over, he beamed with a bright smile, excitedly shouting to her. Among these friends, he had scored the most goals.
"I saw it!" Lin Helian replied with a smile and since there was still time, she stood by to watch Yhan Cheng and the others play soccer.
"I’ll kick this one, watch me." The chubbiest boy among all the children ran quickly to the soccer ball and kicked it hard.
The soccer ball flew forward, missed the goal, and hit a tree. It ricocheted straight back towards where Lin Helian was standing.
Lin Helian, seeing the soccer ball flying towards her, was stunned—completely forgetting to dodge. This was it; she was about to get hit.
The soccer ball rapidly approached Lin Helian, and when it was less than a meter away from her, it seemed to suddenly bump into something and was deflected away.
Everyone was stunned by this scene!
Lin Helian came to her senses, waved her hand in front of her but couldn’t find anything. She clearly saw a white light deflecting the ball back—where was it now? Could it be?
She reached inside her neckline and pulled out the talisman that Luo Shu had tied around her neck earlier, "Could it be this talisman?" Was it really as Luo Shu had said, capable of protecting against three dangers?
Thinking back to what Luo Shu had said and recalling the fleeting white light, Lin Helian held the talisman tightly, her eyes shining with excitement and emotion.
"Mom, are you okay?" Yhan Cheng ran up to Lin Helian, looking at her with concern. It was all Big Bear’s fault for kicking so hard!
Lin Helian reached out to take Yhan Cheng’s hand, her face brimming with irrepressible joy, "Xiao Cheng, let’s hurry home." She needed to tie this talisman on both father and son as quickly as possible.
"I’m going home now, I’ll play with you guys tomorrow." Yhan Cheng waved to his friends and followed Lin Helian home.
Back home, Lin Helian immediately took out a talisman and put it on Yan Cheng, admonishing, "Keep wearing it from now on and don’t take it off, understand?"
"Mhm!" Yan Cheng obediently nodded, reaching out to examine the talisman around his neck, "Mom, what is this?"
"This is a peace charm, it keeps you safe. Just now, the reason I wasn’t hit by the ball was because of it," Lin Helian took out her own talisman to show Yan Cheng.
Yan Cheng nodded as if he half-understood.
"What keeps you safe?" Yan Zhan walked in through the door, just in time to hear Lin Helian’s words.
"You’re back just in time, come here," Lin Helian called out to Yan Zhan with a smile.
Yan Cheng walked over, somewhat surprised, "What happened?"
"I’m going to show you something." Lin Helian took out an amulet and reached out to place it in front of Yan Zhan.
Looking at the talisman in Lin Helian’s palm, Yan Zhan furrowed his brows, "What is this?"
"This is a peace charm. It’s very effective. I’m putting it on you," Lin Helian picked up the peace charm to help Yan Zhan tie it around his neck.
Yan Zhan shook his head with a smile, "Just keep it on yourself." He didn’t believe in such things.
"This peace charm is really effective. I nearly got hit by a ball just now, but it protected me. If you don’t believe it, ask Xiao Cheng, he saw it too. Xiao Cheng, tell daddy if it’s true," Lin Helian turned to Yan Cheng.
Yan Cheng nodded, "I saw the ball flying towards mom, but just as it was about to hit her, it was deflected away."
"That must have been a coincidence," Yan Zhan said incredulously. If a peace charm had that kind of effect, then as warriors going into battle, they would just need to ask for a peace charm.
"Why don’t you just believe it? Luo Shu gave it to me, would she lie to me?" Lin Helian also got a bit angry.
"Luo Shu gave it to you? She believes in these things?" Yan Zhan was somewhat astonished. Luo Shu was a doctor, and doctors are supposed to be the most science-believing people.
"This peace charm was specially commissioned by Luo Shu from a master, and they have all been consecrated. Luo Shu said that each peace charm can protect you three times, and after the three uses, the charm will disappear on its own." She now deeply believed in Luo Shu’s words. However, she felt a bit wasteful since one of the three chances had already been inadvertently used.
"Is it really that miraculous?" Yan Zhan still couldn’t believe it—could such a pendant made from talisman paper be so mysterious?
"Even if you don’t believe, you still have to wear it. Bow your head, let me put it on you," Lin Helian insisted strongly. Now that she had witnessed the effects of the talisman, how could she allow it to go to waste?
"Let’s not," Yan Zhan said with a pained expression. He really didn’t believe in such things.
Lin Helian frowned displeasedly, but thinking of what Luo Shu had said before, her face instantly lit up with a smile, "After I put it on you, as long as you can take it off, I’ll agree that you don’t have to wear it." Luo Shu had told her that when tying the knot, if she silently thought "lock" in her heart, the knot would not come undone and couldn’t even be cut with scissors.
