262 Mother and Son Safe and Sound (Grand Finale)
“What’s wrong?” Ning Dai quickly asked.
Feng Tian said hesitantly, “How did I find that there is magnetic force everywhere here, and even…”
He raised his head and looked hesitantly at the outside of the village before saying, “Extended to the outside of the village.”
Ji Nian waved his hand impatiently. “Then let’s go look for it outside of the village. Seriously, why did you say so much?”
Mo Chen nodded. “I agree with Master Ji.”
Ning Dai looked at the villagers who were rushing over and sighed. “Let’s settle these people’s matters first. We’ll set off tomorrow morning.”
With the clue of ‘water’, it would be much easier for Ning Dai to deal with them.
Unfortunately, people couldn’t not drink water. Moreover, it wasn’t realistic to ask the locals to change into water purifiers. They could only find the source of the magnetic force as soon as possible and help them solve the root of the problem.
The next morning, the sky had just brightened. The four of them set off towards the place where the sun rose.
As expected, the deeper they went into the desert, the more the hands on the dial trembled. It seemed that their guess was right.
A gust of strong wind suddenly blew over, carrying sand and making it difficult for people to open their eyes.
“It’s a sandstorm! Get down quickly!” Feng Tian shouted.
However, this sandstorm was too intense, and Ning Dai was pregnant, so she couldn’t move nimbly. In just a few minutes, the sandstorm had already swept towards them, blocking their vision.
Ning Dai only felt a pair of gentle but firm arms pick her up, quickly leaving the center of the storm, and then gently put her on the ground.
A moment later, the storm disappeared. The few of them opened their eyes and were instantly stunned.
Half of the sand dune in front of them had been blown flat by the storm, revealing a highly precise mechanical object.
The four of them hurriedly rushed over and pushed aside the sand beside the mechanical object. Then, they took out the device that looked like a jack.
Within the device, there were a few magnetic objects floating in the air.
“Dai’er, look!”
Mo Chen moved his watch closer to the ‘magnets’. The needle inside had already started to spin like an electrified electric fan. Mo Chen could clearly feel a suction force sucking on his wrist.
“What a strong magnetic force.” Ning Dai sighed.
Feng Tian also sighed, “If it wasn’t for this sandstorm, I’m afraid no one would have been able to discover this device. I think we need to bring it out of the desert and study it properly.”
Ji Nian stared at the device and suddenly said, “Eh, isn’t this Li Yi’s handwriting?”
“It’s Master’s handwriting?”
He couldn’t help but laugh. “I’ve been looking for Master for a long time, but I didn’t expect him to be hiding here. Let’s go find him now!”
Feng Tian put the machine into the bag and sealed it. Then he pumped the bag into a vacuum and injected nitrogen to isolate it, so that the magnetic force wouldn’t continue to affect the locals.
To be on the safe side, they returned to the village again and took some water samples. Sure enough, they found that without the effect of the machine, the quality of the water instantly improved a lot.
Seeing this, Ning Dai also felt a lot more relieved. She asked her master to leave a lot of herbs and instructed the villagers to boil the herbs frequently and smell them. It had the effect of prolonging life.
Then, she asked the villagers for the address of the base on the equipment and found that it was not far from the village, so she looked for it.
In an abandoned shelter, they found a man. He was tall and thin. His beard was unkempt and his hair was messy. He looked very down and out.
However, Feng Tian looked at him for a long time and suddenly shouted happily, “Master!”
This man was Li Yi.
He looked at the people who found him and was also very surprised. During the conversation, they talked about their experiences in the past few years. It turned out that when he had agreed to elope with his lover, he found that she only loved his fame and the wealth he brought with him. She did not really love him as a person. He was completely disappointed and hid in the desert.
When he saw the device in Feng Tian’s hand, he was shocked. “Where did you find it? I’ve been looking for it for a long time, but I still couldn’t find it.”
Feng Tian quickly explained that they had encountered a sandstorm and found this device in the sand dunes. However, this device had affected the underground water source, causing the people living here to produce toxins in their bodies. They were especially prone to going crazy.
Hearing this, Li Yi let out a long sigh. “It’s all my fault…”
Ning Dai quickly comforted him. “Uncle-Master, can you leave this place with us? There are still many people in this world who love you.”
Under Ning Dai’s coaxing and comforting, Li Yi finally pulled himself together, and his eyes lit up once again.
Five months later.
“I gave birth to a little boy that weighs eight pounds.”
“Let me see! My little grand-disciple, your great-grandfather missed you so much…”
Ji Nian impatiently rushed over to embrace the swaddle. Feng Tian and Li Yi’s faces held a smile.
Mo Chen was not in a hurry to see the child. He bent down and hugged Ning Dai tightly, saying tenderly: “You’ve worked hard.”
They looked at each other tenderly, feeling only the happiness in their hearts and forgetting everything around them.
“Little Dai’er, let me name the child. How about it?”
Suddenly, Ji Nian’s voice rang out, breaking the romance between lovers.
Ning Dai and Mo Chen looked at each other and said in unison, “Alright, you’ll be in charge of naming the child. We’ll be in charge of nodding or shaking our heads.”
For a moment, a burst of cheerful laughter rang out in the delivery room.
