Black Wind Village is a backward and impoverished place. The Ma family is spoken of by everyone in the village. After having five sons, the 40-year-old woman of the Ma family became pregnant again....
The three of them woke up at around five o'clock, and Shangguan Wenyan skillfully arranged everything in an orderly manner.
After the meal, the group took stock of their equipment, especially the Soul-Capturing Bell and the Soul-Suppressing Nails, which were quite useful.
"Lihua, it's up to you this time." Ma Linghua was quite strict with Lihua; it wouldn't do for the women of the Ma family not to be able to catch ghosts.
I used to worry about that! But now I don't. As soon as she sees where Pear Blossom is lacking, she immediately teaches her step by step. She has to teach Pear Blossom properly.
"Grandma, I understand. I definitely won't let you down." She remembered all the combos. Kill the demon, use the Soul-Capturing Spirit to fix its soul, then kill it again. This was the combo for demons. As for ghosts, those that listened to her advice were put into a bag, and those that didn't were directly sent to the afterlife.
"Hmm! Not bad, very good, Grandma has high hopes for you." She is an outstanding woman among the women of the Ma family.
Ma Linghua looked arrogant, which Shangguan Wenyan happened to see. Was her teaching method a little wrong?
"Mom, when we go to Da Mao's place this time, will you put it in your underwear or mine?" Ma Hehua asked expectantly.
"Tsk! Are you stupid? A few good-for-nothings are giving you money, so you have to give it to your mother, me. So who's going to put the money in there?"
Ma Hehua thought about it and realized that made sense! Wasn't all her money going to support her mother?
"Mother, I've been filial to you my whole life, but my eldest and second brothers are really unfilial." Thinking about this, she felt a little disdain for her two brothers whom she hadn't seen for several years.
"Hmm! Panmei and Zhaomei are really asking for it. They're two useless things, all they know is how to send money, they don't even bother to say a few kind words to their old lady." Hearing Hehua's words, I felt very unhappy. I'll call Zhongguo tomorrow and tell him to keep an eye on them.
Li Panmei: "???"
Li Zhaomei: "???"
Misfortune strikes out of nowhere while you're sitting at home?
"Alright, let's go down the mountain. We'll ask Old Deng to take us." Ma Linghua carried a satchel, her two braids were tied with red rope, and she was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket and old-fashioned cotton shoes. To be honest, she looked quite nostalgic.
Like the young girls in those communes back then, she looked incredibly young.
Ma Hehua's outfit was the same, but... not very good. Her blush, however, made her look like a matchmaker. (Use your imagination!)
Ma Lihua was the same, but she was very pretty. She had long hair and long braids, which reached all the way down to her buttocks.
Her rosy cheeks had finally returned to normal, but she still needed to bring a few bottles of ginseng water. Thinking of the red envelopes her five older brothers had given her, she felt a surge of joy.
"So happy to be home?" Shangguan Wenyan felt a pang of jealousy.
"Wow! All five of my older brothers give me red envelopes. I'm the only girl in my family, so I'm the future of the Ma family." She said with pride and a touch of smugness.
Shangguan Wenyan: "………………………………"
Something doesn't sound right!
"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore, Brother Shangguan. We might be back very late, just don't lock the door." As she spoke, she applied some snake oil ointment.
Shangguan Wenyan: "????"
Looking at the somewhat worn seashells, he couldn't help but ask, "Is your face-wiping device clean?"
“How could it not be clean? This is made from an old clam from the pond on Black Mountain near my home. I’ve been buying it for decades. She’s a health enthusiast.” As she spoke, she carefully placed the snake oil ointment away.
Shangguan Wenyan: "…………………………"
Very good, a clever demon.
"However, since she used resources from our Black Mountain region, she has to pay a production fee, which is only a little over a hundred a year." She said this with a proud look on her face.
Her family also collects rent, but the money just doesn't go away quickly. The Ma family can't keep their money on them, otherwise their luck won't be good.
"Pear Blossom, let's go. Why bother talking to him so much? Men can't interfere in women's affairs." Ma Hehua glanced at Shangguan Wenyan with her nose in the air.
He endured, he endured...
After watching the three women leave again, the storm in his eyes intensified. So what if it's five years? He can wait that long.
As soon as the group went down the mountain, Ma Hehua took a needle and started pricking Lan Niang's little paper doll, her actions simple and crude.
"Ouch... Ouch... Ouch..." This familiar feeling startled her. "Lan Niang, come see me quickly!"
She knew it; today was truly an unlucky day.
However, Deng Paopao came running happily. When he was stabbed, he knew he had teleported down the mountain.
"Master Daoist..."
"Stop! Don't call us Taoist priests, call us fairy maidens!" Ma Hehua couldn't stand him calling them Taoist priests; they were little fairies!
"Ah...yes, yes, yes...Fairy, what brings you here?" he asked with a fawning expression.
Lan Niang stared at him in utter bewilderment. Was this man possessed by a ghost? Why was he being so nice?
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and greet the fairy and the others." Deng Paopao was incredibly excited!
After getting on the ghost bus, she asked Deng Paopao mysteriously.
"Old Deng, are you possessed by an evil spirit?"
"Can't you speak properly? I'm a damn ghost, what evil spirit are you talking about?" He glared at her with displeasure.
This puzzled her, so she made up her mind and secretly went to the back of the car.
"Lan Niang, the seats in the front are uncomfortable! By the way, did you receive the money I burned for you?" Ma Hehua asked her with a generous air.
"Money? What money?"
Lan Niang looked at Ma Hehua with a completely bewildered expression.
"Of course it's money for ghosts! I burned 10,000 for you and 10,000 for Old Deng. By the way, no need to thank me, after all, I'm a kind person!" The more Ma Hehua talked, the more she felt like a great philanthropist.
Lan Niang's expression tensed up when she heard her say that. Ten thousand? That's a huge sum of money! She's struck it rich!
Wait a minute... that's not right! I burned it for her, why didn't she receive it?
He asked cautiously, "Fairy, how did you burn all that money?"
"Hey! Have you gone mad from being a ghost? Just find a random spot, say Old Deng's name, and you'll be burned there!"
Old Deng?
Lan Niang suddenly realized that this was why Old Deng was so eager; he had received a huge sum of money and was even thinking of secretly taking her money.
She laughed it off without changing her expression, thanked him, then reached for the front of the car and stared at Old Deng with a gloomy face.
"Why...why are you looking at me like that? It's kind of scary!" Old Deng said, feeling a little guilty.
"Hmph! Deng Paopao, you better give me my money back after the fairies get off the bus, or else... I'll fight you to the death."
Damn! How did this woman find out? Did that blabbermouth fortune teller let it slip?
Seeing Lan Niang's expression, as if she wanted to devour him, he swallowed hard. "It's not like I'm not going to give it to you. I've been keeping it for you since you haven't been home lately. Alright, alright, stop grinning. I'll give it to you in a bit. Look how excited you are."
Not excited? It's ten thousand yuan, what's there to be excited about?
The three members of the Ma family were completely unaware of the swordplay between the two. However, the ghostly carriage was very fast. This time, with money, the carriage was filled with yin energy, and it arrived in Jiangcheng in half an hour.
