Chapter 1367 The Mother Goat's Advice
At this moment, Shao Yun looked like a wicked landlord, hands on his hips, glaring down at the mother goat, venting his anger and helplessness.
"I've been feeding you well, giving you fodder, and providing you with a place to sleep, and you still dare to say you're tired? I ask you, have I been milking your sheep or putting you on a plow to till the land? You're tired my ass! Even if you die from exhaustion today, get up!"
The mother goat, with her neck tucked in, watched as Shao Yun glared and vented his anger on her, and she knew exactly what was going on.
This is just taking advantage of an excuse; they're anxious but have nowhere to vent, so they take it out on themselves.
She rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Ugh... get to the point! Don't cause trouble here for no reason. What kind of skill is it to take it out on me!"
Shao Yun's thoughts were exposed by the mother goat's words, and a look of embarrassment flashed across his face, which was then replaced by eagerness.
He suddenly pointed towards the bedroom on the second floor and said anxiously, "What's wrong with my wife? She started talking nonsense as soon as she woke up this morning, acting crazy. I suspect she's possessed. What do you think?"
He remained defiant, but deep down he had lost all confidence and could only pin his hopes on the mysterious female goat.
The mother goat slowly raised her head, glanced at the second floor, and showed no surprise in her eyes. Instead, she had a calm expression that said, "Just as I expected."
Immediately afterwards, she shook her head, deliberately dragging out her words, and stabbed Shao Yun in the back with each and every one of them.
"Oh, so that's what it is. Well then, let me ask you, the biggest 'evil' in the family, how do you plan to deal with the trouble you've caused?"
"What did you say?!"
Shao Yun immediately bristled, instantly transforming into the "Great Western King." His impatience vanished, replaced by a "kind and benevolent" expression, though a ferocious smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. He slowly raised his hand, his knuckles cracking, clearly about to get serious.
He gritted his teeth and cursed, "I'll beat you to death today, you dead sheep!"
Seeing Shao Yun's "kind and benevolent" appearance, the mother goat trembled with fear. She dared not argue any longer, her limbs buckled, and she knelt on the ground with a thud, burying her head low and begging for mercy repeatedly.
"Don't hit me! Don't hit me! I was wrong, I shouldn't have poked you in the back, I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"
She knew Shao Yun's temper all too well; he was like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment!
Seeing that the mother goat had softened and was finally willing to help, Shao Yun suddenly stopped raising his hand, and the ferocity on his face vanished instantly.
He took two steps forward and urged impatiently, "You have a plan? Hurry up! Stop dawdling and tell me clearly how to save Ying!"
But to everyone's surprise, when the mother goat saw Shao Yun's impatient look, she put on airs again, instantly abandoning her pleading appearance and revealing a lazy "it's none of my business" expression.
She slowly raised her two front hooves and offered them to Shao Yun, saying in an affected manner, "Oh dear, what's the rush? When you need something from someone, you should at least show some sincerity, right?"
As she spoke, she wiggled her hooves, a sly smile on her face, and said, "Come on, give me a hooves massage first. If it feels good, I'll tell you how to save your wife~"
Seeing the mother goat's affected and arrogant manner, Shao Yun's eyes widened, his pupils dilated, and his anger surged up again.
Oh ho? You're getting too big for your britches, aren't you! Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm some kind of Hello Kitty!
"I think you're just asking for trouble. Today I'll give you a good workout!"
Before he finished speaking, Shao Yun stopped wasting words and went straight to the point, as the saying goes, the left fist deals more damage; the right fist deals more damage.
Shao Yun swung his left hand out hard, followed closely by his right, slapping the mother goat hard across the face with two resounding blows.
The force wasn't fatal, but it was loud enough to completely stun the mother goat. A trace of drool hung from the corner of her mouth, and she didn't react for a long time.
Something's not right! Didn't he ask for my help? Is this how you should ask for a favor? Who hits someone when they're asking for a favor?!
Before she could recover, she saw Shao Yun raise his arm again, his eyes fierce, as if he was going to beat her again.
The mother goat was terrified and no longer dared to put on airs. She kicked and pleaded for mercy, trembling like a leaf as she said:
"Hey, hey, hey! I was wrong! I was wrong, okay? Stop hitting me! I'll talk, I'll talk right now!"
She was genuinely terrified, afraid that Shao Yun would damage her vocal cords, leaving her unable to beg for mercy or offer any solutions.
Immediately, the mother goat, without the slightest delay, quickly explained how to save Ying.
"It's very simple! You don't need to do anything, just sit next to her and keep her company!"
Upon hearing this treatment method, Shao Yun immediately thought of Chongyun, Shenhe's nephew from Liyue, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, muttering:
"What kind of method is this? Just sit there? Do you think I'm Chongyun, with a built-in exorcism buff, able to suppress evil spirits just by sitting there?"
He genuinely didn't believe that such a simple method could cure Ying's erratic behavior.
Seeing that Shao Yun's emotions had finally stabilized, the mother goat breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed her sore cheek, slowly got up from the ground, and began to explain her method in detail.
"What do you know? This is called a mental illness that requires a mental cure."
It looked up at the second floor and said slowly, "Think about it, you've always been like a big tree sheltering her from the wind and rain, protecting her, pampering her, and providing her with a warm harbor."
"In her heart, you are her everything, her only support."
"She's not possessed or crazy right now; she's just panicked and confused. As long as you stay quietly by her side and let her feel your presence and your presence, she will gradually calm down, and those incoherent ramblings will gradually disappear."
Upon hearing the mother goat's words, Shao Yun's eyes immediately darted around, his brows gradually relaxed, and he secretly pondered: That's right! What this dead goat said seems to make some sense!
Whenever Ying felt uneasy or sad, she would gradually calm down as long as I was with her.
He scratched his head, still somewhat doubtful, and his tone softened considerably: "That simple? Okay, whether it works or not, I'll give it a try..."
……
Then, remembering the method the mother goat had told him, Shao Yun didn't delay any longer and hurriedly returned to the house.
Upon entering, I saw Mavica, Sylvia, and the others still sitting around the sofa in the living room, their brows furrowed, chattering away about how to save Ying. The atmosphere remained heavy.
After recovering her SAN value, Sitrus leaned back on the sofa, stroking her chin with one hand and tapping her head with the other, and said thoughtfully:
"In my opinion, we should try to exorcise the unknown evil spirits from her; that might solve the problem!"
Mavica immediately shook her head and retorted, "I think we should take Ying on a vacation and find a quiet place to rest."
“When I drove Xinoning crazy before, she was like this too. But after she went on vacation for a while, she came back completely cured!”
Ineff, standing to the side, remained committed to science, saying, "I don't agree with your methods. Miss Ying's body is perfectly healthy, there's no scientific basis for exorcism, and the effects of the vacation cannot be quantified."
"I think we should invite a professional doctor to conduct a comprehensive mental health assessment. Only by trusting science can we find the root cause."
The three argued endlessly, each sticking to their own opinion, while Orloren sat to the side, offering no useful advice.
Piran remained hunched over, sitting in the corner, looking helpless, and could only listen silently.
Shao Yun watched them argue heatedly but did not go forward to interrupt.
He was now completely focused on Ying, and all he wanted to do was to stay by her side as soon as possible, following the mother goat's advice, no matter how it might work or not.
He tiptoed and headed straight for the second-floor staircase without saying a word.
At this moment, Kong was squatting at the door of Shao Yun and Ying's bedroom, his hands covering his head, looking utterly melancholy and helpless.
"How could this happen... How could he suddenly go crazy..."
He reflected on it again and again, wondering if he had done something wrong recently, and whether he hadn't considered his sister's feelings when discussing the plan to smuggle herself into winter yesterday, which had led to her becoming like this.
Just as Kong was frowning in worry, he caught a glimpse of Shao Yun hurrying towards him out of the corner of his eye. His eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly stood up to greet her:
"Brother-in-law, you're back! Have you found a way to save my sister?"
Shao Yun didn't answer directly. His gaze fell on the tightly closed bedroom door. He raised his chin and asked, "How is my wife, your sister, now? Is she still acting crazy?"
Kong replied truthfully, "It's still the same, nothing's gotten better. Mavica, Sylvia, and that tall tribal chief... what's his name again?"
He tried to recall the big man's name in his mind, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't remember it at all, and he scratched his head in frustration.
Seeing Kong scratching his head in frustration, unable to recall the name, Shao Yun casually reminded him, "Bilan. Bilan is the leader of the Yanmi tribe."
“Yes, yes, yes! It’s Piran!” Kong nodded quickly and continued, “That’s right, and so are Euron and Inef. They’re still in the living room discussing Ying’s condition.”
“My younger sister is still in the house, talking nonsense from time to time, acting crazy, and I don’t dare to go in and disturb her.”
As he spoke, Kong looked back at the closed door with concern and sighed deeply.
"Brother-in-law, do you think... it's possible that last night, when we were discussing the plan to go to Zhidong, our words were too harsh and provoked my sister? After all, she still doesn't want to leave Nata..."
Shao Yun gently shook her head. Ying wasn't Lin Daiyu; even if she were sentimental, she wouldn't be so distressed by one thing. Besides, she wasn't the kind of person who couldn't handle any stress.
"Alright, stop thinking about it. I'll go check on her." After saying that, Shao Yun didn't delay any longer. She reached out, gently pushed open the bedroom door, and carefully walked in, afraid that any sudden movement might disturb Ying inside.
Kong stood at the door, watching Shao Yun's back, her eyes filled with anticipation, hoping that Shao Yun could find a way to help her sister return to normal.
Shao Yun gently pushed open the bedroom door, and the scene inside softened his heart.
