Chapter 224 My Mother is a Fortune Teller 9
After burning the fox spirit, the village chief organized people to fill in the grave, completely leveling the unclaimed mound.
Afterwards, he led a group of people to escort Lu Yingniang back to the village.
A group of elderly people and young children were already waiting at the village entrance.
From afar, they could hear the people coming down the mountain in high spirits, chatting and laughing, with bursts of hearty laughter erupting from the long line every now and then.
Aunt Qi stood on tiptoe, raised her hand to look, and said with a beaming smile:
"She's back, she's back! It seems she succeeded. Yingniang is really amazing!"
This time, it's even more formidable than the hundred-year-old rat spirit we caught last time!
"Of course! I told you Yingniang was highly skilled and wouldn't lie, but you just wouldn't believe me."
"A three-hundred-year-old fox spirit, really, I wonder what she looks like, and how completely she's bewitched Shuanzi..."
"Haha.... This is not Shuanzi's fault. He's a grown man, how could he possibly hold back?"
It's all her mother Yufen's fault. Last time I said I'd find a wife for Shuanzi, a girl from Kaoshan Village.
Yu Fen didn't find him suitable and wanted to marry a girl from town.
Well, this is terrible. A young, innocent boy has been defiled by a fox spirit.
How will I ever get married again?
"Pfft, Wang Laoni, don't say that. If Yu Fen hears you, she'll tear your mouth apart."
As they talked, they started talking about the Taoist priest from earlier, saying that he was really useless.
They ate and drank at the village chief's house, but when it came to trouble, they abandoned their host and fled. Their character is truly despicable.
They also said that Yingniang was indeed as good as her fellow villager, much better than the Taoist priest from outside.
Others say they saw the fox spirit.
I was relaxing indoors when I saw a dark shadow run across the opposite rooftop, disappearing in a flash like an arrow.
At first, I thought I was seeing things, but then I realized that the roof tiles had been broken and fallen off, and I was shocked to find that it was real.
My goodness! Just thinking about it is terrifying.
Behind the crowd, Zhao Honglian held her son's hand, her lips curled in disdain.
The villagers have all gone mad, even mader than in their previous lives.
It's unbelievable that so many people believe that big liar, Lu Yingniang.
She was so angry she gritted her teeth.
These past few days, she has been subtly advising her mother-in-law to keep her distance from Lu Yingniang.
He also told her several superstitious stories published in the newspaper, all of which led to her family being ruined and her life ending tragically.
But the mother-in-law disagreed, saying instead that they were just unlucky and hadn't met a wise person.
If Yingniang were here, she would surely be able to avert disaster and bring prosperity to the family.
She stared at him, and when she said it too much, her mother-in-law started scolding her again.
This time was no different; the mother-in-law immediately supported Lu Yingniang upon hearing the news.
Many others, completely infatuated with Lu Yingniang, echoed her sentiments.
She sighed from the back of the crowd, thinking to herself, "You'll know what's good for you once the government arrests Lu Yingniang."
They are a bunch of foolish men and women, a pitiful bunch.
In the entire Lujiazhuang village, I am the only one who understands.
It's true that everyone else is drunk while I am the only one sober.
At the banquet, Lu Yingniang was seated in the seat of honor, with Lu Xiaoxiao, the gluttonous little girl, sitting next to her.
With the village chief and a group of elders accompanying them, no one cared about seniority anymore.
The village chief and his family, in particular, were overflowing with gratitude.
As soon as she returned, Lu Yingniang went into the house to check on Shuanzi.
He told me frankly that he should get some rest and wake up tomorrow.
Eat more chicken, duck, fish and meat to nourish yourself, and you'll recover.
They were naturally delighted to hear this.
In the courtyard, especially at the men's table, people were drinking and eating heartily, talking animatedly, their voices rising in waves.
In the alleyway outside the courtyard, women sat at a table holding their children, chatting happily.
Zhao Honglian saw her husband, Lu Tiezhu, with a flushed face through the courtyard gate.
He stood up and started shouting and laughing with his cousins at the same table, getting really into drinking.
"My goodness! I've really learned something new today. I didn't know there really are demons in this world!"
"That's right, I didn't believe it before either, I just thought it was Yingniang..."
At this point, Tie Zhu smiled sheepishly, his voice lowering slightly.
"I thought Yingniang was lying, but I never expected it to be true! My goodness! This is truly an eye-opener."
"Yes, yes, I've learned a lot today."
This is the first time I've ever seen a fox with three tails in this world. I heard it has three hundred years of cultivation.
"Oh dear, didn't you hear how this fox spirit imitated human laughter?"
Haha, that sounds like it gives me the creeps.
Although the voice sounded like a woman's, it still sounded somewhat fake compared to a real person, and it was quite eerie!
"Haha, it's a pity I was too far away to hear it with my own ears."
You know, this fox spirit is really something. Instead of absorbing the moonlight to cultivate, she runs down the mountain to suck the essence of men.
With three hundred years of cultivation, how many men would he have to die from absorbing that power!
Over the years, several young people in our surrounding villages have died mysteriously. Could it be the work of this fox spirit?
"I think it's pretty much true. Didn't you hear what Yingniang said?"
If a beautiful girl appears deep in the mountains, run away immediately; that thing is definitely not human.
……
After the little one had eaten and drunk his fill, Lu Yingniang pulled him home, and the village chief's family saw him off at the door.
They also packed a basket of meat and vegetables for Lu Yingniang to take back.
"Honey! Let me ask you, weren't you scared back then?"
Didn't Mom throw you out? Why did you rush towards her?
My mother was terrified.
Xiao chuckled and said smugly:
“I’m not afraid. Who told her to come and hit Mom? I’ll beat her to death.”
Looking down at her daughter's fierce yet adorable appearance, Lu Yingniang's heart melted, and she was deeply moved.
This is the baby born after ten months of pregnancy!
Ah! Having such a little one in this life is enough.
She was moved for a moment, then couldn't help but recall the fight from before, and asked curiously:
"My dear! When you hit the fox spirit, your arm was bright red and steaming. What happened?"
"Mom, I don't know either!"
Xiao Xiao replied with an innocent look on her face.
Lu Yingniang sighed upon hearing this, and could only guess to herself whether her daughter's amazing abilities were innate.
The next day, Lu Shuanzi woke up as expected. He was physically fine, but his spirits were low.
He's been drained of his energy by a fox spirit for three days now, no wonder he's not feeling well!
Village Chief Lu and his wife understood, so they specially prepared some kidney-tonifying and aphrodisiac foods for their youngest son.
Three days later, the sound of gongs and drums rang out outside Lu Ying's mother's house.
When Hu Ziqiang and Lu Yingniang came out and saw it, they were stunned.
Village Chief Lu was in the lead, holding a brocade banner, followed by several respected elders from the village.
Behind them, a young man carried a whole, freshly slaughtered sheep on a door panel, followed by others carrying eggs, cigarettes, alcohol, milk powder, biscuits, and other gifts, making a grand entrance by banging drums and gongs to express their gratitude.
Lu Yingniang was taken aback and looked at the village chief with a surprised expression.
"Village chief, what are you doing?"
Village Chief Lu didn't answer. Instead, he turned around, grabbed his youngest son, Lu Shuanzi, and shouted:
"You brat, hurry up and come thank your sister Yingniang for saving your life!"
Shuanzi's face turned red with embarrassment. When he woke up, he would know what had happened. After asking around, the whole village would find out that he had been violated by a fox spirit.
The shame was indescribable.
This morning, her mother pulled her out of bed, dressed her in new clothes, and brought a sheep to her door to express the highest gratitude to her cousin for saving her life.
Lu Shuanzi lowered his head and quickly walked to Lu Yingniang, bowed deeply and said:
"Sister Yingniang, thank you for saving me."
Lu Yingniang smiled and waved her hand, "We're all family, no need to be so polite."
The village chief stepped forward and handed the banner to Lu Yingniang.
“Yingniang, you are a great benefactor to our village. This banner represents the sentiments of our entire village.”
"I'll accept the banner, but you can skip the gift. Village Chief..."
Just then, the roar of a car engine suddenly came from afar.
A police car slowly drove into the village. Several policemen got out, one of them shouting:
Who is Lu Yingniang?
The villagers immediately fell silent, exchanging bewildered glances.
Zhao Honglian, standing in the crowd, was secretly delighted. Which righteous person had made a move?
Haha! Finally, someone's come to teach this big liar a lesson.
Wait a minute, let's see if you, Lu Yingniang, can still laugh without being able to.
Just now, she saw the thank-you gifts: a whole slaughtered sheep, half a carcass of pork, and Qin Yufen was also carrying several chickens and ducks, with eggs, biscuits, and other items behind her.
All of these added together must amount to several hundred.
Her eyes were red with envy. What right did this big liar have?
Is the village chief blind?! Giving so many good things to Lu Yingniang?
The police have arrived! Great, they're finally going to expose Lu Yingniang's true colors.
Zhao Honglian watched from the crowd with a gloating expression.
Lu Yingniang, however, calmly stepped forward.
"I am."
The police officer looked her over and said:
"Someone has reported you for engaging in feudal superstitious activities. Please come with us for an investigation."
The villagers were in an uproar when they heard this, and they all defended Lu Yingniang.
Village Chief Lu was so anxious that his face turned red.
"Officers, you must have made a mistake. Yingniang is genuinely catching demons and saving people."
But the police still took Lu Yingniang away.
Lu Xiaoxiao stared wide-eyed at the side, and angrily turned her head to lock onto Zhao Honglian, who was smiling broadly, in the crowd.
After all, everyone was angry and looked indignant, except for Zhao Honglian, who was watching the show with schadenfreude.
She clenched her little fists tightly.
"Auntie, didn't I change Lu Xiaobao's original fate? Why is she still reporting me?"
"It wasn't her, it was someone else."
