Chapter 381 The Coward's Black Moonlight Witch 12

Aunt Sun said as she handed Chu Bojian a bowl of mung bean soup, "Eat it, it's good for clearing away heat and relieving summer heat."

Chu Bojian nodded gratefully, "Thank you, auntie."

Aunt Sun smiled and said, "What's there to thank me for? I haven't spent all the money your mother left with me yet."

Chu Bojian lowered his head and ate the mung bean soup in silence, feeling mixed emotions.

In order to gain wealth and fame, that woman was willing to be someone else's mistress.

The purpose of giving birth to him was very clear, just to get to the top.

But she failed.

Because the man she chose had no shortage of money or illegitimate children. He was with her just for the temporary novelty. Once the novelty wore off, he gave her a villa to live in during her retirement.

But she was unwilling to let her son take a cold bath in the middle of winter, because when her son had a fever, she could let the man visit the villa.

Chu Bojian spent his childhood in illness.

But later, it didn't work when he got sick.

Later, the woman fell ill.

To be honest, he didn't know whether the woman had truly loved him.

She said she loved him, so how could she leave him alone at the door of the Chu family and ignore him for three days?

She said she didn't love him, but before she died, she took him back to her hometown, found him a place to live, and left some money to everyone around him so that they could take care of themselves.

Aunt Sun left after staying for a while, but Chu Bojian felt his scalp tingling and couldn't sleep at all when he thought there was a ghost in his yard.

The leaves outside the window rustled in the wind, but to Chu Bojian, the sound sounded like the whisper of a ghost, which made him even more frightened. He simply covered his head with the quilt.

It was not until the sun rose the next day that he cautiously poked his head out and breathed a sigh of relief.

After he finished his breakfast, he put on his schoolbag and prepared to go to school.

When they arrived at the He family's door, it was locked, proving that He Baifeng had already sent Shen Xinran to school.

Chu Bojian went to school alone. As soon as he sat down, his deskmate came over curiously and asked, "Chu Bojian, why did you shave your head?"

Chu Bojian said with a hint of impatience, "I like it, it's none of your business."

After saying that, he lay down on the table and tried to catch up on some sleep.

The head teacher walked into the classroom and noticed Chu Bojian the first time. She walked to Chu Bojian's desk and asked with concern, "I heard that you fainted yesterday. How are you feeling today?"

Chu Bojian raised his head and forced a faint smile, "I feel much better, thank you, teacher."

The head teacher nodded and encouraged, "That's good. The high school entrance exam is next month, you have to work hard."

…

The first thing Shen Xinran did when she got home from school was to check what the light bulb was doing. But it was still sleeping! It had been sleeping for almost a whole day and night, so I wondered if anything had happened.

Just as Shen Xinran was worried about the light bulb, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums outside the yard. Shen Xinran looked outside the yard and saw that it was Mrs. Chen and her family.

As soon as Granny Chen saw Shen Xinran, she asked enthusiastically, "Little Fairy, is your grandmother here?"

He Baifeng walked out of the room after hearing the noise. When she saw Mrs. Chen, she was a little surprised, "What are you doing?"

Mrs. Chen took two steps forward, a smile on her face. "I came to thank you! Ever since you performed the ritual for my family, my husband hasn't said he saw a ghost again."

He Baifeng smiled and said, "This is what I should do. The most important thing is that I am blessed by Bai Xian."

Mrs. Chen's husband, He Baifeng, held a banner with the eight characters "Great Divine Power, Blessing All Living Beings" written on it. He smiled and said, "I made this especially for you."

He Baifeng took the banner, feeling a little uncomfortable. She had performed rituals for so many years, but this was the first time she had received one.

Many villagers gathered at the gate of the He family's courtyard to watch the excitement. They asked Mrs. Chen, "What did He Baifeng do for you that you're making such a big fuss and sending her a banner?"

Mrs. Chen immediately described what had happened in her family in vivid detail. "You don't know, my husband was haunted by a ghost before. I accidentally heard about He Xiangu's reputation. With a half-believing and half-doubting attitude, I invited her to come to my house to perform a ritual. My husband never said there was a ghost in the house again..."

The villagers were stunned and exclaimed in admiration: "Really? He Baifeng is so amazing!"

Mrs. Chen said proudly, "Of course. I've invited several Taoist priests before, but none of them worked. But He Xiangu's ritual cleansed my house."

He Baifeng was overjoyed to hear Mrs. Chen's compliments. From now on, if anyone dares to call her a fake fortune-teller, bring her to see this banner!

Chu Bojian stood on the outskirts of the crowd. He had always thought that He Baifeng was just a liar who pretended to be mysterious.

But what Mrs. Chen said made him wonder, could it be that He Baifeng really has some real skills?

After Mrs. Chen and her family left, Chu Bojian mustered up the courage to walk towards He Baifeng and said in a low voice, "Grandma He, I actually saw a ghost the day before yesterday."

He Baifeng was about to close the door when she heard Chu Bojian's words and rolled her eyes. "You must have read too much and become stupid. There are no ghosts in this world!"

Chu Bojian's eyes widened as he retorted anxiously, "But I did see him. He was in my yard. He was about thirty years old, pale as a cadaver, and he floated in front of me."

Shen Xinran was holding a lollipop in her hand. When she heard Chu Bojian's words, she looked at him with interest.

He Baifeng sighed and said earnestly, "Child, don't scare yourself."

Chu Bojian looked directly at Shen Xinran and asked, "Do you believe me?"

Shen Xinran ate a lollipop and nodded seriously.

She had met all the ghosts in this town, and she had already guessed which ghost Chu Bojian had met.

Chu Bojian immediately looked at He Baifeng, "Look, Niuniu believes in me."

He Baifeng chuckled, "You know what Niuniu's situation is. Could it be that you are just like Niuniu, with an IQ of only three years old?"

Chu Bojian was speechless. How could He Baifeng, as a fortune teller, be an atheist?

After He Baifeng finished speaking, she turned and went to the kitchen.

Shen Xinran walked up to Chu Bojian and asked, "Are you afraid of ghosts?"

Chu Bojian sneered: "Nonsense, who isn't afraid of ghosts?"

Shen Xinran pursed his lips into a straight line and said seriously, "I can help you."

Chu Bojian asked, "If your grandmother can't help me, what can you do to help me?"

Shen Xinran took something out of his arms and said, "This is a talisman. With it, no ghosts can get close to you."

Chu Bojian looked doubtful, "Are you sure?"

Shen Xinran's expression was indifferent. "If you don't believe it, you can try it."
