Chapter 229 My Mother is a Fortune Teller 14
The little one ate several pieces of peach shortbread, his face covered in crumbs, before the couple finally finished off all their stock.
The two of them were exhausted. They both breathed a sigh of relief, lay down on the bed, and looked at the roof beams with smiles on their faces and eyes full of anticipation.
Even though I didn't exert any effort, I still felt tired.
She also lay back, between her parents, looking speechlessly at her chubby paws that were already stained red.
The family of three had barely rested when someone knocked on the door.
"Ying Niang, Ying Niang..."
This sounds like someone from the village, because only villagers would call someone that.
"They're here---!"
The couple exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with excitement.
After yesterday's events have been brewing overnight, there will definitely be even more people asking for peace charms today.
Here it comes, doesn't it?
Lu Yingniang excitedly got up quickly, and Hu Ziqiang also hurriedly got up.
He picked up his daughter and carried her to the hand pump well to wash her face and hands.
Unfortunately, even after using soap, her little hands remained bright red.
Xiao Xiao looked at it with disdain, then couldn't help but hum twice and slap her father Hu Ziqiang's face a few times.
"It's okay, it's okay, it won't be red tomorrow."
Hu Ziqiang wasn't annoyed. He smiled and kissed his daughter's chubby little paws before going to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Lu Yingniang opened the door and saw a group of villagers gathered at the entrance, talking all at once.
"Yingniang, we've heard that your family's amulets are especially effective. We all want to ask for a few."
An older woman said urgently.
Lu Yingniang smiled broadly.
"Alright, everyone, don't rush, one at a time."
Just then, a strange, sarcastic voice came from behind the crowd.
"Hmph, you ignorant village woman, you narrowly escaped death, yet you dare to openly swindle and cheat people here?"
When everyone turned around, they saw that it was a group of Taoist priests.
Leading the group were two simply dressed middle-aged and elderly Taoist priests, followed by several younger Taoist priests, both men and women.
One of the Taoist priests was recognized by someone in the village.
Isn't this the fake Taoist priest who just sponged off the village chief a few days ago, only to be the first to run away when things got ugly?
"You liar, you actually dare to come back?"
"Da Niu, go quickly and inform the village chief that the Taoist priest who tricked him has arrived."
"Okay! I'm going right now!"
As he spoke, Da Niu took off running towards the village.
"Who...who is lying?"
My friend, you mustn't be talking nonsense.
I am a properly registered Taoist priest, with a Taoist certificate.
Lu Yingniang stood on the threshold, hands on her hips, a cold smile on her face:
"Oh, so having a Taoist certificate makes you something special?"
Why was he always freeloading at the village chief's house, doing nothing but cheating people out of food and drink?
When the fox spirit was about to harm people, you shameless liar ran away the moment she saw it.
The villagers all agreed.
The Taoist priest's face turned bright red, and he angrily pointed at Lu Yingniang and cursed:
"You----! I will not pay any attention to you, you fake sorceress who is pretending to be a shaman."
Tell me, where is that fox spirit now?
Today I've invited my senior brother to exorcise the demon; he'll surely rid your village of this scourge.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yingniang laughed disdainfully.
The villagers, upon hearing this, burst into laughter, pointing at them and mocking them:
"By the time your senior brother arrives, the daylily will be too cold."
Let me tell you, that fox spirit was already eliminated by our Yingniang long ago.
Right there in the cemetery on the back hill, it was burned to ashes.
The Taoist priest listened with disbelief, his eyes wide as he retorted:
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
These words enraged the villagers even more, and they all cursed:
"My God! What kind of fake Taoist priest is this? He's trying to scam people again."
Last time he came alone, but this time he brought so many people.
Do they really think the people of Lujiazhuang are so simple and kind, so easily fooled!
"That's right, once you're here, you're not going anywhere."
"Pour out everything you ate and drank last time."
Most of the villagers shared the same surname, and in their anger, they quickly surrounded the Taoist priests.
"Don't do anything reckless. That fox spirit has three hundred years of cultivation. Even I am no match for her."
How could she possibly be eliminated by a village woman who hadn't cultivated any magic power at all?
Don't let her fool you.
Besides, don't falsely accuse anyone of freeloading.
I did my part that day, they don't know, but you, you sorceress, should know.
"If it weren't for my efforts in resisting and buying time last time, you wouldn't have had a chance to escape!"
He pointed at Lu Yingniang's nose and scolded her sternly.
He was certain that after he ran away last time, Lu Yingniang, that fake sorceress, must have run away with him too.
Although we don't know what happened to Lu Shuanzi in the end.
But since the fake fortune teller is alright, the young man should still be alive.
Yes, young people have plenty of energy and blood.
Even if you're constantly being drained by a fox spirit, you won't die in two or three months.
"Bullshit! If it weren't for you, you fake Taoist priest, getting in my way, our Yingniang would have wiped out the fox spirit long ago."
The villagers, unconvinced, pointed at his nose and cursed.
They now idolize Yingniang to no end, and besides, she's family, so they can't tolerate outsiders talking nonsense or slandering her.
At this moment, the village chief arrived hurriedly with several people. Upon seeing the Taoist priest, he glared angrily.
"Well, you actually have the nerve to come back."
The Taoist priest hurriedly explained that he was injured that day and had no choice but to leave first.
Now, a highly skilled senior brother has been invited, and he has rushed here without stopping, all to help the village chief completely rid himself of that harmful fox spirit.
The village chief snorted coldly, pointed at his nose, and cursed:
"Give me a break! You think I'm easy to fool, huh?"
"You came alone last time, but this time you brought a whole family?"
The village chief looked behind the Taoist priest and saw that there were several junior Taoist priests following him.
There were seven or eight people in total, including the old, middle-aged and young, plus two teenagers!
Good grief, they really thought he was a sucker.
"No, let me explain..."
"Alright, Zaiming, no need to explain."
At this moment, the old Taoist priest couldn't help but stop him, then stepped forward and made a gesture of Amitabha Buddha.
“Benefactor, I am Zhang Zaifeng, a Taoist priest from Zixing Temple on Mount Hua.”
My junior brother may be a bit gluttonous, but he doesn't lie. Please calm down.
Right now, the most important thing is to find out where that fox spirit is.
Also, village chief, how is your youngest son's health these days?
"This humble Taoist priest has brought with him some blood-replenishing and yang-restoring elixirs, which can help your son exorcise the demonic energy and recover soon."
"It's too late. The fox spirit has already been killed, and my son is already cured. He doesn't need your elixir."
The village chief looked incredulous and said with a sneer.
Zhang Zaifeng was taken aback; it seemed the village chief wasn't lying.
Is it really true, as they say, that the fox spirit has been exterminated?
How can this be?
He glanced back at his junior brother, Zai Ming, who also looked puzzled.
He was well aware of Zaiming's abilities; although he was a bit of a drinker, he was quite capable when it came to serious matters.
He said the fox spirit was highly skilled and wouldn't be mistaken.
