Chapter 152 The Old Woman Selling Eyeballs on the Street at Midnight

Yun Shu really didn't dare to look.

Although she had accidentally seen Lu Shijing's clothes were wet before and knew he had a great physique, her master had told her when she was a child that she shouldn't look at men who weren't wearing clothes, or she would get a sty.

Having a pimple on your eye that won't heal properly really affects a girl's image! Most importantly, if people see her sty, they'll know she's been peeping at boys—how embarrassing!

When Lu Shijing saw Yun Shu's relieved expression, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

He saw Yun Shu packing up the takeout boxes and asked her, "Then are you coming home with me? I'll take you home later after I've finished my business."

Yun Shu nodded. "Okay."

Lu Shijing came by himself, so it was a good opportunity to give him the new amulet; she wouldn't need to make a special trip to deliver it.

Yun Shu closed the shop and got into Lu Shijing's car.

On the way there, the car was completely quiet. Yun Shu stared out the window, lost in thought. She was too tired from a day's work and didn't want to think about anything.

Lu Shijing was driving, but he still managed to glance at her several times.

Seeing that she looked tired, Lu Shijing pursed his lips and suddenly said, "Have you been working too much lately? I can talk to your agent and help you turn down some work."

Yun Shu shook her head. "No need, I need to save money."

Although the advertising fees she recently earned were enough to pay off her debts, she still needed to cultivate and save money to buy medicinal herbs to aid her cultivation, and those herbs were very expensive.

There are also some medicinal herbs that she wants to buy but can't find anywhere; she doesn't know where to look for them.

The spiritual energy in modern times is already low, and without the aid of these medicinal herbs, her cultivation will recover very slowly.

Thinking of this, Yun Shu suddenly heard a screeching sound of brakes.

Lu Shijing stopped the car.

"What's wrong?"

Yun Shu turned to look at Lu Shijing.

He gestured with his chin toward the front of the car, "There was an old lady in the middle of the road. The streetlights in this area are too dim; I almost didn't see her."

When Lu Shijing saw the old lady sitting motionless in the middle of the road, he wondered if she was feeling unwell, so he decided to get out of the car to check on her.

Yun Shu suddenly grabbed him, "Don't get out of the car, just drive straight there."

"What?"

Upon hearing Yun Shu's words, Lu Shijing realized something was wrong, and his expression became somewhat serious.

But he stared at the old woman in the middle of the road for a long time and still couldn't see anything wrong. The old woman didn't look like a transparent thing; she even had a shadow.

Lu Shijing asked Yun Shu again, "Are you sure you want to drive straight over there? If you do, you'll just run her over and kill her."

Although the Lu family could use money to settle such matters, Lu Shijing's ingrained upbringing prevented him from doing such a cruel thing.

And he also has to accumulate merit!

"Do you believe me or not?" Yun Shu stared at him unhappily and urged, "Hurry up and drive, or she'll start clinging to you."

Lu Shijing was about to step on the gas pedal when he saw the old woman on the ground stand up, carrying a basket in her hand, and walk towards his car.

The old lady looked kind and gentle, not like a bad person, but Lu Shijing remembered what Yun Shu had said and slammed on the gas pedal.

His car drove right through the old woman.

Lu Shijing's pupils contracted slightly.

"It really is..." a ghost?!

But why does this ghost look so much like a real person? When the light shines on it, it even casts a shadow!

He glanced at the rearview mirror with a complicated expression and saw that the old woman was still standing there, while another car was driving by not far away.

The driver of the other car also thought the old woman was alive and, fearing he might hit her, quickly slammed on the brakes.

The car stopped.

The old lady walked to the car, knocked on the window and asked, "Want to buy walnuts? Kind people, do you want to buy walnuts? After I sell these walnuts, I can go home."

The driver even got out of the car and asked with concern, "Grandma, are you alright? Were you hit?"

"No, no, do you want to buy walnuts?"

The old lady shook her head and asked him.

The car owner was initially worried that the elderly man was deliberately trying to extort money from him, so he even took out his phone to record the incident. However, he was surprised to find that the elderly man had no intention of swindling him at all.

Seeing that the old lady had a kind face and that there were only two walnuts left in her basket, he said, "Since there are only two walnuts left, sell them to me and go home to rest early."

"well."

The old lady nodded with a smile, "Two walnuts, just give me two yuan."

The car owner happened to have some change in his car, so he gave the old lady two coins.

On Lu Shijing's side.

He saw the car stop in his rearview mirror, the old lady walked to the side of the car, and then he couldn't see anything anymore because his car turned.

However, as soon as she turned the corner, Yun Shu said, "Stop, stop, let me see what she's selling."

Even though they were quite far apart, Yun Shu still heard what the old lady and the car owner were saying.

Lu Shijing asked in confusion, "Didn't you tell me not to stop?"

"We can stop now, that old woman is gone."

Yun Shu sensed that the aura had disappeared.

They waited at the corner for a while, and then the car that sold walnuts drove up. Lu Shijing drove over and forced the car to stop.

The driver got out and yelled angrily, "How do you drive? You almost caused an accident, do you know that?"

Seeing how angry he was, Lu Shijing pulled Yun Shu aside and got out of the car first. He then said to the driver, "You just saw a ghost."

"What?" The driver looked at him like he was crazy, then cursed, "You're the one who's seen a ghost, making a U-turn on this road at night!"

Yun Shu has already come down.

She said to him, "Do you want to take another look at what you bought? If I'm not mistaken, you bought a pair of eyeballs."

The car owner looked speechless. "Those are two walnuts, you two are crazy!"

Yun Shu slightly raised her hand and threw an exorcism talisman directly towards his car.

She stood behind Lu Shijing, and it was dark, so the driver didn't see her move at all.

Suddenly, a scream came from inside the car, "Ah! What...what is this!"

"Wife!"

The car owner's wife was still in the car. She quickly turned around and went back inside to check, "Honey, what's wrong?"

He opened the passenger door from the outside. The woman inside was deathly pale, her hands trembling as she stretched out in front of her, too afraid to move.

"Honey, the walnuts you bought...they've turned into eyeballs! Ah!"

The streetlights outside the car shone in, making her see even more clearly. She was so frightened that the two eyeballs in her hand fell directly under the seat.

The owner of this car is named Fu Yuezhong.

He also saw the eyeball in his wife's hand, and the color drained from his face instantly. "I remember I bought walnuts..."

Fu Yuezhong finally sensed something was wrong, and the more he thought about it, the more terrified he became.

"By the way, there aren't many people or houses on this road. Where did that old lady come from? And she... she's selling walnuts on the road late at night, why is she only selling two walnuts!"

Fu Yuezhong panicked immediately, "Holy crap, holy crap, she's not selling walnuts, she's selling eyeballs! Why would she sell me eyeballs?!"
