Chapter 216 My Mother is a Fortune Teller 1
As Xiao Xiao looked over, the deformed little old man who was lying next to the little boy suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Xiao.
Seeing that Xiaoxiao dared to stare at him without blinking, he became furious, opened his mouth, revealed his fangs, and roared silently at her.
A few strands of hair hanging from the corners of his mouth and his white skull dripped green sap.
It looks disgusting!
Xiao Xiao glared at him angrily, pouting and silently cursing.
"So ugly, so unsightly!"
The old man seemed to understand the little girl's disgusted expression, and became even angrier.
He looked down at the little boy beneath him, feeling a pang of reluctance. Then he looked at the little girl opposite him. For some reason, even though the little girl's breathing was also weak, she gave him a creepy feeling.
In the end, they decided to continue devouring the little boy's yang energy.
Xiao Xiao turned away from him and looked at the woman in her thirties sitting cross-legged in the armchair, Lu Yingniang, the original owner's mother.
Lu Yingniang was from Lujiazhuang. Her parents died early, leaving her an orphan. Later, she took in Hu Ziqiang, the original owner of the body, who had fled famine in Henan and begged for food.
The two got married, but both were in poor health, and they couldn't even get enough to eat on their small plot of land.
When Lu Yingniang went to the field, she collapsed and fainted. When she woke up, something seemed wrong.
She kept spouting incomprehensible nonsense, and later became a "shaman" who specialized in burning incense, telling fortunes, and exorcising evil spirits.
The couple stopped farming and rented out their land to villagers.
At first, very few people saw it, and the villagers were skeptical. But as Lu Yingniang's predictions became more and more accurate, the word spread throughout the village.
Everyone in the surrounding villages knew that there was a very powerful fairy in Lujiazhuang.
More and more people came to visit, and left gifts as a token of their gratitude.
Its fame grew, and the rumors became increasingly outlandish.
It is said that Lu Yingniang is a fortune teller with great supernatural powers, and she can also bribe the underworld officials to extend people's lives and save their lives.
Many people from other places drive here specifically to see this place!
But if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet eventually.
People kept reporting that the couple was practicing feudal superstition, and the government subsequently arrested the couple and fined them a huge sum of money.
After they were released, Lu Xiaoxiao, the daughter they had finally given birth to, died alone in the house.
They didn't die of starvation or disease, but were tortured to death by evil spirits.
The couple was devastated when they found out.
They were already quite old when Lu Xiaoxiao was born.
Perhaps because she did too many shady things, Lu Xiaoxiao was born as thin as a kitten and would get sick every now and then.
She can't stand the wind, can't stand strangers, and takes medicine like it's a snack.
The couple usually don't dare let their daughter go out to play alone.
I always keep it with me and never dare to let it out of my sight.
After witnessing their daughter's gruesome death, the couple began a frenzied revenge against the person who reported them.
Then, he used talisman water to deceive people everywhere, which caused many people to delay their treatment and die.
Ultimately, both were sentenced to fifteen years in prison.
After listening, Xiaoxiao pouted and asked, puzzled:
"Then what is my mission?"
"The mission was submitted by the original owner, Lu Xiaoxiao. She hoped that her parents would not lie to or harm anyone, and that they would live well."
In addition, she also wanted to live a little longer and spend more time with her parents.
This is a supernatural world, but you don't need to worry. You possess the residual power of the deformed infant, which will be more than enough to deal with the evil spirits of this world.
Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up. She nodded and then looked at Lu Yingniang and asked:
"Was the original owner's mother truly a god?"
"She was lying from the beginning. She couldn't do heavy work and had a hard time supporting herself, let alone the original body who was weak and sickly."
She had no choice but to become a spirit medium.
"How could she fool these people? Surely they're not all fools?"
Xiao Xiao asked, puzzled.
"The original owner's father was a peddler who often collected things from the surrounding villages and towns, taking the opportunity to inquire about the affairs of these villages."
He also liked to bribe the village children with candy to get information about the people he wanted to find out.
Then, take a small notebook, organize and summarize the information, and teach it to your mother.
This is also why she is so accurate in her calculations and has such a great reputation.
Later, your father found a tattered, handwritten book about exorcism and spirit communication from an unknown era at a junkyard and showed it to your mother.
Your mother learned it on her own by following the instructions above, so she's only half-baked!
It's enough to fool most people, and even against competitors, as long as we don't delve too deeply into the subject, we can still get away with it.
Good grief, isn't this just a scammer?
After listening, Xiaoxiao looked at her father, Hu Ziqiang, who was sitting to the side with droopy eyelids, with bright eyes.
Goodness, this couple really works hard to earn money.
Moreover, this father is actually quite good-looking, with an oval face, almond-shaped eyes, and fair skin.
Xiao Xiao touched herself and thought, "Hmph! She must be pretty too."
Meanwhile, Lu Yingniang, seated in the main seat, squinted her eyes, took a puff of her pipe, and gently exhaled.
The smoke was thick, and behind it were abstract and grotesque statues of gods.
He appeared inexplicably mysterious and solemn.
"Fairy, Yingniang, please help me, I beg you."
Aunt Qi, kneeling on the ground with a headscarf over her head, pleaded anxiously.
"Don't rush, don't rush, let me take a look."
Lu Yingniang put down her legs, walked to Aunt Qi, squatted down, and while bending over to observe her carefully, she silently calculated with her fingers.
Xiao Xiao saw the deformed little old man who was perched on Xiao Bao's shoulder look up and stare at his mother with a piercing grin, but his mother was completely unaware.
Xiao Xiao frowned as she looked at the old man and glared at him.
"What's wrong? Yingniang, tell me!"
Aunt Qi felt a chill run down her spine when she saw her brows furrowed and her muttering to herself.
This is her only grandson!
Her son and daughter-in-law work in the city, leaving her at home to take care of her grandson. What if something bad happens to her? How will she survive?
Lu Yingniang suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Seventh Aunt, and sighed:
"Did Xiaobao go swimming in the river yesterday at noon?"
"Yes...yes, I didn't want Xiaobao to go, but for some reason, he insisted on going."
Aunt Qi spoke in a flustered manner, her eyes flashing with fear.
Actually, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong; it was the middle of the day, and they were playing with the monkey.
She shouldn't have let her grandson play by the water because she was soft-hearted.
There must have been a collision.
In particular, when Tie Dan, who was playing with his grandson, came back and said that his grandson seemed to have been washed into a deep ditch at the beachhead, he was shocked.
That place is the deepest part of Xiaoyang River, where whirlpools often appear inexplicably, sometimes even visible from the riverbank.
You can always see the whirlpool swallowing up some floating debris and branches on the river surface, and then slowly disappearing from sight.
Normally, the adults don't dare to take a bath there.
The village children were repeatedly warned that they could only play in the shallow water under the big poplar tree and were not allowed to go into the deep pools at the back of the river.
But yesterday, my child seemed possessed; he just wanted to swim there.
Tie Dan said he called for a long time but received no response. Finally, Tie Dan's father noticed something was wrong.
He yelled at his grandson's back, and the grandson woke up and swam back.
My grandson came back, and everything seemed fine at first, but he suddenly developed a fever that night and started talking nonsense.
She only realized it in the middle of the night, and she's been struggling ever since, unable to break her fever or wake up.
Only then did he realize something was wrong, and in a panic, he took his grandson to find Lu Yingniang, a well-known sorceress and shaman in the village.
Lu Yingniang stood up and slowly said:
“Deep in that river, there are drowned ghosts seeking replacements, and Xiao Bao, whose yang energy is weak, has been targeted.”
Upon hearing this, Aunt Qi was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, crying out:
"Fairy, you must save Xiaobao!"
"Let me perform the ritual to slay the ghosts and exorcise the evil spirits!"
With a determined look in her eyes, Lu Yingniang walked to the offering table and took down the peach wood sword that was placed under the statue of the god.
Then, stepping on the Seven Stars, his body like a swimming dragon, followed by a mysterious chant.
Lu Yingniang waved the peach wood sword wildly in the air, then placed the sword on Xiaobao's head and muttered some strange "ghostly words".
Finally, he reached out his left hand and grabbed the air above Xiao Bao's head.
With a "hey," he clapped his hand on the paper talisman cut into the shape of a human figure that he had prepared beforehand.
This signifies that the ghost has been caught and suppressed with talismans.
But Xiao Xiao could clearly see that the old ghost was not afraid of the peach wood sword at all, and was still lowering his head to absorb Xiao Bao's yang energy.
Lu Yingniang then picked up a bowl of mysterious potion, put it in her mouth, and sprayed it onto the peach wood sword.
After spraying, he swung his hand and slashed at the paper talisman on the table several times.
The sword left streaks of bright red blood where it passed, leaving Aunt Qi dumbfounded.
Xiao Xiao was taken aback and quickly asked the system auntie.
I only found out that there was turmeric on the talisman and that the holy water my mother sprayed was alkaline water. When turmeric comes into contact with alkaline water, it will undergo a chemical reaction and turn red.
I couldn't help but chuckle.
"Don't worry, Aunt Qi, the evil spirit has been exorcised. Let me make Xiao Bao a bowl of calming soup. If he drinks it and sleeps, he'll be fine tomorrow."
After saying that, Lu Yingniang picked up a talisman, muttered some incantations, lit the talisman, and put it into a bowl that had been prepared beforehand.
There was powdered cold medicine in the bowl. Lu Yingniang stirred it with water a few times, then handed the bowl of talisman water to Aunt Qi.
Aunt Qi quickly took it and started feeding it to her grandson.
"Auntie, this won't do, will it?!"
"Yes, Xiao Bao almost suffered brain damage from the fever, and was finally saved when he met a Taoist priest on the way to the hospital."
But after you recovered from your illness, you became a little sluggish, and your seventh aunt started to hate your parents.
She was also involved in the subsequent reports against your parents.
