Chapter 421 The Longevity Elder

The moonlight was hazy, the path was rugged, and waves of white mist filled the air.

Chen Xiaojuan broke out in a cold sweat, and the spring breeze made her feel cold all over.

Where is this?

As she was thinking, she suddenly felt a burning sensation in her chest.

She subconsciously touched it and found it was a sachet that an old lady had stuffed into her hands on the way home last time.

She found that a black mist seemed to be floating out of the sachet and gradually condensed into a human figure in front of her. It was the old woman who gave her the sachet that day!

Chen Xiaojuan screamed and threw the sachet on the ground in fear.

Her face turned pale and she shrank back in fear, but she heard a gentle voice: "Poor child, God hears your cry and feels your grievance and helplessness. Don't be afraid, I am here to help you."

"Can you really help me?" She was stunned and asked tremblingly.

"Of course, tell me your wish."

Tell me your wish?

Chen Xiaojuan couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster when she thought of the magical witch who could make wishes that was discussed in class.

"Any wish is fine?" Her eyes sparkled.

"Of course." Grandma's voice was gentle.

"I want to study, I want to go to college, I want to leave this damn place!" she said eagerly.

"I want more... more..."

She paused, then suddenly looked up, a glint of resentment flashing in her dark eyes. "I want those two old fools to get their comeuppance. I want them to suffer a fate worse than death! And I want my adopted sister to have a taste of what it's like to be starved and beaten, locked up in the woodshed, with no one to turn to for help!"

"Okay, anything is fine." The witch's voice was still gentle.

"However, in order to fulfill my wish, I also need to take the corresponding reward from you, is that okay?"

Chen Xiaojuan was stunned for a moment, then revealed a bleak smile: "You take it."

She's already like this anyway, what else does she have to lose?

…

The other side.

Jiang Xu and his companions got off the car. The program crew booked a homestay in the town. The owner of the homestay was a warm-hearted middle-aged woman who was waiting at the destination early and led them in.

The town looks like an ordinary town, with a narrow road and residential buildings on both sides.

After walking for a while, the road ahead gradually became lively. Pharmacies and various shops appeared on both sides of the road. This should be the commercial area of ​​this area.

Among the crowd, an old man caught Jiang Xu's attention.

The old man was buying fruit. He seemed to notice the gazes. He turned around and saw Jiang Xu and his group. His face suddenly changed and he turned and ran away.

Jiang Xu couldn't help but frown. Jiang Yu beside her patted her shoulder gently, exchanged a glance with Lu Jiawen, and tacitly left the crowd and followed.

"Hey, isn't that Uncle Wang?" the proprietress asked in surprise. "I didn't believe my husband when he mentioned him yesterday. I didn't expect him to actually look completely healed."

Hearing that there was a story behind this, Zhao Xin said, "What's wrong with this old man?"

"Oh, it's strange. Uncle Wang wasn't feeling well a while ago and went to the hospital. He was diagnosed with advanced cancer. The doctors said there was no cure, so his son took him home. Who would have thought that after he came back, his health got better day by day, and now he can even go out to buy groceries by himself."

"Could it be that the hospital misdiagnosed it?"

The villagers who were watching the fun nodded when they heard this: "Yes, that's what I said. If you can avoid going to the hospital, then don't go. After all, if you go there, they can find out what's wrong even if you don't have any disease."

The proprietress recalled, "But the last time I went to see him, he was terribly thin, his face was pale, and he had trouble speaking. Now look at him, his face is rosy. How can he look like he's been seriously ill?"

"That's truly miraculous," the villagers exclaimed, suddenly realizing something. "Do you think it could be that witch?"

"You also know that witch?" Tang Yue asked curiously.

"Of course, who in this town doesn't know her? It's said that if you meet her, any wish you make will come true."

Zhao Xin quickly asked, "Have you seen her?"

The proprietress smiled and said, "We would like to, but we heard that she only helps those who are destined to meet her. So there is no place to meet her."

As they were talking, the group had already arrived at the door of the B&B.

After putting down our luggage, we had lunch in the B&B.

The owner of the B&B was very talkative, and Zhao Xin brought up the matter of Uncle Wang again.

"Their family..." The boss thought for a moment, "There's something else that's very strange about them."

"Their family runs a grain, oil, and non-staple food store. Business used to be good, but ever since Grandpa Wang was discharged from the hospital, their luck has been bad. First, a fire broke out in the store for no apparent reason, burning most of the stock. Strangely enough, the couple were sleeping in the store that day, and they slept so soundly. If the neighbor hadn't smelled the smoke and woke them, the losses would have been even greater."

"Later, they went to receive a new batch of goods. However, on the day of unloading, a sudden downpour hit in the middle of the night. I don't know who had opened the warehouse door, and the entire batch of goods got soaked."

"After two consecutive blows, I'm afraid even my original capital will be almost gone."

【Is it so weird?】

[Aren't fortune-tellers said to be very effective? If Mr. Wang really had met a fortune-teller, how could he have ended up in such a miserable state?]

Jiang Xu's eyes moved slightly when he heard this.

Sure enough, it was just as she had seen before—Uncle Wang’s lifeline and fortune line did not match at all.

She thought she probably knew what this so-called fortune teller, who was said to grant every wish, was all about.

After understanding the situation, Jiang Yu and the others had not returned yet, so everyone decided to go for a walk in the town.

After walking for a while, Jiang Xu saw a house in the distance. There was a trace of black and evil air lingering on the roof, and he couldn't help but frown.

Zhao Xin followed her gaze and saw that the door of that house was closed, but there were sounds coming from it, which he found strange.

His grandparents are both from the countryside. In the countryside, as long as there is someone at home, everyone will open the door when they get up in the morning.

There was clearly someone in the house, but the door was closed tightly.

"Aunt Ming, this is..."

The lady boss said, "The couple has been arguing a lot lately. I guess they don't want to be laughed at."

To be honest, no one knows what the couple is arguing about.

The woman is good-looking and gentle, and has never had a quarrel with anyone. The man also has a good personality, is responsible, and his family is wealthy. The two of them got together after falling in love freely. They originally had a good relationship, but recently they have been quarreling every few days and have been unable to live in peace.

At this point, she suddenly lowered her voice: "I heard that the man was stabbed by his wife with a knife a few days ago..."

"Everyone said his wife had mental problems and advised them to separate for a while, but the man refused."

Several people walked up to the door and knocked. After waiting for a long time, a haggard middle-aged man finally opened the door.

Seeing this group of strangers, he was obviously stunned.

"This is……"

The proprietress introduced, "This is Master Jiang, a very famous Feng Shui master. Everyone heard about your family and came to take a look."

Hu Chengping looked at Jiang Xu in surprise, and met her clear eyes, which seemed to see through everything.

Jiang Xu looked at his face for a few seconds, and at this moment, a woman's scream suddenly came from the house, followed by a crisp "bang" sound, like the sound of a knife falling to the ground.

Hu Chengping's face changed, and he turned around and ran in with horror, and everyone followed him in.

"Brother! My sister-in-law...she just wanted to kill me. I was so scared!"

As a result, as soon as he entered, he saw a weak woman throwing herself into Hu Chengping's arms.
