Chapter 18 Xiao Quezi's Advice



When the villagers in the house heard that Si Nizi was possessed by Wong Tai Sin, their eyes lit up.

Although the legend of Wong Tai Sin has a long history, few people have actually seen him. Today, I am fortunate enough to see him. Isn’t the gossip fire in my heart burning?

One of them was anxious and stood up immediately: "What are we waiting for? Quickly calculate which direction Wong Tai Sin is? Can't we all find it together?"

Xiao Quezi moved his stiff fingers and gritted his teeth and spoke out the speech he had prepared in advance.

"Si Ni'er's situation is a bit special. She was bewitched by Wong Tai Sin's aura, not possessed. There's no need for Wong Tai Sin to stay nearby. I'll go back and make some magic water for her to drink."

These words made Xiao Quezi's cheeks burn with anger.

It’s not like he hadn’t worked with others to do some spooky things before, but now he was talking nonsense in front of the real owner, and Xiao Guizi felt a little embarrassed.

On the other side, when Old Man Shen saw that Xiao Lame finally said it as they had agreed in advance, he finally put his heart at ease.

"I was wondering, how could Si Nizi suddenly go crazy? She must have offended Wong Tai Sin somehow outside. Oh, she is still young and can't handle it!"

Old man Shen quickly said a few polite words, trying to cover up the rumor that he was beaten stupid by his eldest grandson a few days ago.

Someone spoke up for Old Man Shen: "That's what I'm saying. We're all family. How could we kill each other? Isn't that what I'm saying?"

"That's right, that's right."

"Did the fourth girl offend Wong Tai Sin when she went out to collect firewood?"

"Maybe he was just too young. He should have kneeled down and admitted his fault to the immortal at that time, and he wouldn't have lost his mind!!!"

The topic of conversation in the room gradually shifted from Si Nizi to the various legends of Wong Tai Sin.

Originally, Shen Siyue wanted to stand up and prove her innocence, but seeing the satisfaction on Old Man Shen's face that showed his wish had come true, she silently shut her mouth.

Old man Shen just wanted to fool others.

I wonder what outrageous things she will do in the future. Will she feel embarrassed after what Old Man Shen went to such great lengths to prepare for her today?

Xiao Quezi listened to the conversations around him that were getting more and more off topic, without saying a word. He only felt that the gaze from Shen Siyue was fixed on him.

“Shen…Brother Shen, since you’ve seen it, I’ll go back first.”

After saying hello to Old Man Shen, Xiao Quezi was about to get up, put on his shoes and leave.

"Sit for a while, you've come a long way, take a break before you go!!!"

Old man Shen tried his best to keep him, although it was impossible to keep him for dinner. In those days, every family was starving and no one had enough food to treat others to a meal.

But he wanted to keep Xiao Guizi for a while longer. After all, this man was not easy to invite. If he gave away half a pound of flour, he would have to listen to the sound for a while longer!

Xiao Quezi wanted to slip away immediately, as the gaze from Shen Siyue made him feel very uncomfortable.

His skill of observing qi had never failed, so he guessed that Shen Siyue must have been possessed by a lonely ghost.

Thinking of the ancestors who died young that he had heard from his father, Xiao Guizi became even more determined to stay away from them.

He knew his own capabilities and the best he could do was to predict good or bad luck. He didn't know how to do advanced stuff like exorcising ghosts.

And according to what Xiao Quezi had learned before, the fourth daughter of the Shen family chased her family members with kitchen knives, smashing and biting them. He guessed that this lonely ghost might be a fierce ghost.

If Shen Siyue knew this idea, she would spit at Xiao Quezi and say, "Who are you talking about? Your whole family is full of evil spirits."

Xiao Quezi didn't want to be involved in this kind of cause and effect. It was not worth it to risk his life for half a pound of flour.

Thinking of the half pound of flour, Xiao Guizi's heart ached, but he still decided to go back and let his own son return it to Old Man Shen.

The food is good, but you have to be alive to eat it.

How stupid must he be to get himself involved in a life-threatening incident just to satisfy a little appetite?

My heart was in a state of confusion, but my face didn't show a single sign of it.

Xiao Quezi quickly got up and put on his shoes, then walked towards the door with Old Man Shen seeing him off.

With one foot already out of the threshold, Xiao Quezi suddenly paused, turned his head to look at Shen Siyue, opened his mouth to speak but stopped, and in the end he said nothing and left the Shen family's house.

Until Shen Siyue's gaze disappeared, Xiao Quezi grabbed Old Man Shen's arm and almost dragged him out of the Shen family's yard.

"Hey... hey... slow down, slow down, sir, what are you... what are you doing?"

Old man Shen, who was staggering as Xiao the Cripple was dragging him, had to steady himself in a hurry and speak. Otherwise, if he continued to be dragged, his old bones would have fallen to the ground.

Seeing that they were already some distance away from the gate of the Shen family's courtyard, Xiao Guizi let go of Old Man Shen's arm. After taking a deep breath, he calmed his pounding heart.

"I'll ask my kid to return the flour you sent me. I don't want the stuff anymore. If you have any problems in the future, don't blame me. Just consider it as my free help this time. Do you hear me?"

Um?

Xiao Guizi's series of words made Old Man Shen stunned.

"What...what do you mean? How can I ask you to help me for nothing? Just take the flour and rest assured!"

Old man Shen waved his hands quickly. Shen Zhifu was a man who kept his word when he was outside. How could he ask for back something he had given away?
