Chapter 35

35

Granny Chang is a famous fortune teller in their area. Whenever a child is scared or an adult is possessed by evil spirits, they will call her over. Shen Yuntang didn't really believe in these things before, but after he died once, became a ghost, and was reborn, he began to believe these things more.

Grandma Chang has a weird temper. She lives alone and doesn't like to talk. She only says what she wants to say and won't say a word more no matter how much money you give her.

The villagers respected her very much and would not ask too many questions, so Shen Yuntang naturally did not dare to break the rules.

He had many doubts before. These few days, he saw Cheng Yeran looking absent-minded and thought that his soul had left his body because of fear. He asked Granny Chang to come and help call his soul back, but Granny Chang said that someone else had been replaced.

According to Granny Chang, the person who was replaced should not be Widow Chen, but someone else, someone who would not harm him. However, these past few days, Cheng Yeran was no different from before except that he was absent-minded.

wrong! Things have changed a lot. Since the day he got married, Cheng Yeran was no longer the lazy guy he used to be. He became hardworking, able to protect him, and had a good personality.

Perhaps, from the day of marriage, Cheng Yeran became a different person.

Now, not only is he not afraid, but he is also curious about what kind of person Cheng Yeran is. He often acts like a child, so could he really be a child?

No wonder when he asked Cheng Yeran whether he wanted to do it, the other party looked like he didn’t understand.

The assumption that he was a child was more devastating than that he was a wandering ghost from nowhere.

When he entered the room, he saw Cheng Yeran excitedly pinching a handful of soil and sprinkling it on his head, imitating Granny Chang's behavior. This made him look more like a child...

Shen Yuntang felt a little dizzy: "What are you doing?"

"What did Grandma Chang read just now? I listened to it three times and didn't understand it." Cheng Yeran looked at him expectantly, wanting to ask him if he knew.

"Granny Chang is calling back the soul. Call it back and then consolidate it." Shen Yuntang explained to him. After the explanation, he saw him looking down at his body, and foolishly asked him if he could really call back the soul? What if there is one more? Will it be squeezed out?

Shen Yuntang: "..." He is indeed a child. His IQ is no more than ten years old.

Shen Yuntang was torn about whether to tell him that he had been exposed. Granny Chang would not say anything to the villagers, but with Cheng Yeran being such a fool, he would be discovered immediately.

If the villagers discovered that you were possessed by a ghost, it would be a very serious matter. The person would be tied up with rattan sticks and beaten with willow branches until the ghost was driven out. Otherwise, the person would be burned to death.

Even if it was a ghost, he didn't want Cheng Yeran to die. He himself had been a ghost, and was not very afraid of this "ghost" Cheng Yeran.

He hesitated whether to expose the other person. If it was himself, he definitely wouldn't want others to know. What if he was exposed and he was scared away? For the time being, he should just let things take their course.

However, Shen Yuntang was not so sure that there was a wandering ghost in Cheng Yeran's body now. Grandma Chang said that there was a new person inside, but she did not perform any ritual to exorcise the ghost. Perhaps there was other hidden secrets.

He recalled Cheng Yeran's childhood. Cheng Yeran was a famous child prodigy in the village. He was smart and not lazy. Why did he become a lazy man later? Could it be that he was possessed by a ghost before, and the wandering ghost squeezed out his original soul, and the ghost squandered all the Cheng family's property and left, and the original Cheng Yeran came back?

When Cheng Yeran's soul left his body, he was still a child. When he came back, he was still a child's soul. Is that why he is so innocent and loves to act like a spoiled child?

Because he was the original owner of the body, Granny Chang could say so easily that the person had been replaced, and that she would enjoy a good life following him.

When he thought about it this way, everything made sense and Shen Yuntang stopped worrying about it.

"Don't tell anyone about Grandma Chang's visit just now, and don't tell anyone about summoning spirits. Telling it to others will bring bad luck." Shen Yuntang threatened him. After all, he was just a child, so it would be fine to just scare him.

"Oh, I get it." Cheng Yeran covered his mouth, looking mysterious and like a big fool. Fans always say that his silly look does not affect his appearance. When other handsome guys act silly, people always forget that they are handsome guys, but Cheng Yeran is the only one who doesn't. His appearance is too high to be ignored.

As the two were talking, they heard a knock on the door. Everyone had gone to see Uncle Zhang at this time, so why would someone come knocking on the door?

Shen Yuntang asked him to lie down and went to open the door himself, but Cheng Yeran always felt that there was something wrong with the knock on the door, as if someone was looking for a quarrel.

Cheng Yeran walked with him to the door, pulled him behind him and then opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, the two of them were almost knocked over by the stench outside.

It turned out that it was Uncle Zhang’s sons who carried Uncle Zhang’s body to his doorstep. “My father was killed by you. You must give me an explanation today!”

There were many villagers gathered around, all of them came to watch the fun. They were a bunch of people who liked to watch the fun and didn't mind making trouble, so they joined in the commotion.

Cheng Yeran stood at the door and looked at Uncle Zhang's eldest son. Just now, the eldest son was standing next to Uncle Zhang's body with fear that his legs were weak, but in a moment, he seemed to have become a different person. He ran up to him with confidence, and his expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book.

"Don't go over there, there are too many of them." Shen Yuetang was afraid that he would be beaten if he went over there.

Cheng Yeran gave him a reassuring look and told him that he knew how to handle it.

Shen Yunfeng also secretly ran over with the Xia family to watch the fun. He thought with glee that Cheng Yeran would lose everything this time! Selling tofu made a lot of money, but it was not enough to compensate for a life.
