Chapter 58 Isn’t that Xie Zaozao?
After learning the origin of the pickle jar, Xie Zao Zao bent over to check it out.
There was a black gas attached to the entire jar, carrying the smell of decay and corruption, and the foul odor was pungent. It was a real evil thing, and it was definitely not just Old Chen's daughter who was harmed.
Fu Yanzhi simply listened to the whole story and prepared to leave.
Seeing that Fu Yanzhi was willing to take care of it, Old Chen thanked him repeatedly.
Xie Zaozao stopped Fu Yanzhi and said, "Sir, don't you think there's something wrong?"
Fu Yanzhi frowned: "Where?"
"Since the family is poor, we should find an ordinary or old jar to pickle the pickles. You can find them in ordinary markets. There is no need to go to the ghost market to buy them."
"Although the furnishings in your house are old, it's clear that you once had some wealth. The hairpin on your wife's head is made of agarwood, right?"
After Xie Zaozao finished speaking, Fu Yanzhi lowered his head and looked at the tank for a long time without saying anything.
Xie Zao Zao thought he thought the same thing as himself: "Old Chen, if you don't tell the truth, we won't care."
Old Chen had a sad face: "I, I, I——"
Xie Zao Zao turned around and left with a dark face.
Old Chen fell to his knees in front of Fu Yanzhi with a thud: "Mr. Fu, I, I, I——"
Fu Yanzhi looked at Old Chen's tearful face and asked slowly, "Did you buy this jar specially?"
He really couldn't tell that this jar was not as good as the chamber pot in Shuyue's room.
Old Chen: “Huh?”
Old Chen didn't understand what Fu Yanzhi was saying at all. He was just so scared that he had to tell everything at once.
It turned out that Old Chen was also a middleman in the ghost market. He was only responsible for buying things from the tomb robbers and then selling them in the ghost market. Everything had been going smoothly. But one time, after he paid the deposit in full, the group of tomb robbers disappeared.
After working together for more than a year, Lao Chen didn't think they had run away secretly. He wondered if something had happened, so he found out about the group of tomb robbers.
He said he went hunting on the barren hill east of the city.
As soon as Old Chen heard it, he knew that they must have found another cemetery. How could there be any prey on the barren mountain?
He went over there in a hurry.
Finally, we found a dilapidated camp halfway up the barren mountain.
There were many pots, pans, and some clothes left there, but no one was there. Lao Chen waited there for a whole day, but no one came back.
It was late at night and he was a little scared, so he thought about going back. As a result, he saw something glowing not far away. When he got closer, he saw that it was this tank.
He moved it back overnight, fearing that someone would know it was a treasure, so he just said it was for pickling pickles.
Xie Zao Zao kicked him: "Anything else to say?"
Old Chen was kicked so hard that it hurt. He wondered how this girl could be so strong. He said timidly, "No more, no more."
Xie Zaozao immediately decided to go to the place Lao Chen mentioned.
She turned around and took a few steps when she heard Fu Yanzhi's voice behind her: "Where are you going?"
Xie Zao Zao said, "Let's go to the barren mountain and take a look."
After she finished speaking, she realized that she seemed to be too free and easy, and forgot that Fu Yanzhi was the leader over there.
If you want to open up space, you must perform well in front of Fu Yanzhi.
So he made amends by saying, "Sir, I'll go over there and take a look. Do you want to go?"
Fu Yanzhi didn't say anything.
Xie Zaozao: "If you don't go, I'll go by myself."
After saying that, he started to leave.
['Ding' Warm reminder, host, please do not act recklessly or put yourself in danger. Find ways to keep yourself under the protection of those above you.]
Xie Zaozao: ...What kind of excellent performance is this? Isn’t this cowardice?
But in order to open up the space, Xie Zao Zao had to timidly ask Fu Yanzhi: "Sir, how about we go together?"
Fu Yanzhi asked: "Why?"
Xie Zaozao: "Isn't that why you came here?"
Fu Yanzhi was very calm: "But you seem to be confident. I don't like to steal other people's limelight."
Xie Zao Zao: “…”
Fu Yanzhi added: "I'm not going."
Xie Zaozao: "You have to go."
"Why?"
"because……"
Xie Zao Zao had been running around for so long, and for the first time, he didn't know what to say.
She thought that Fu Yanzhi should take the initiative to say something to break the awkwardness, as he usually talked the most.
But when she looked up, Fu Yanzhi didn't say a word, as if waiting for her answer.
The system frantically gave her advice: "Just say you're not capable enough alone! You can't deal with the evil spirit!"
Xie Zaozao: ...I would never admit my incompetence even if I were beaten to death.
System: "Then, then just say you're scared by yourself."
Xie Zaozao: ...Afraid of a pickle jar? Haha.
System: "Why are you being so arrogant right now? It's not like you're really scared."
Xie Zao Zao thought about how Fu Yanzhi always managed to suppress himself, but he just refused to give in.
The system was really confused: "Then what do you say?"
Xie Zao Zao thought about it for a long time and finally came up with the most appropriate wording.
"Sir," she said, "we may not find the evil spirit. How about you hold the jar up?"
System: Oh my god!!
Fu Yanzhi glanced at her and said, "Good idea."
Xie had achieved a preliminary victory early on and said to the system, "Look, if he gets tricked, he'll definitely follow."
System: ...I always feel like something is wrong.
Seeing that Fu Yanzhi and Xie Zaozhao were ready to help solve the problem, Old Chen breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his wife and stood up, and thanked them profusely. Although they both looked worried, they refused to get close to Chen Xiaohua at all.
Min Lu and his group were even more anxious.
Min Lu couldn't help but ask, "Sir, if you go, what will we do if something unexpected happens here? Look, this child is very scared."
After Min Lu finished speaking, she pushed the young man beside her and whispered, "Say something, you can't let the master abandon us."
The young man's name was Luo Wei. Although his family was not a famous one, he was also well-known locally. He was a little unhappy about being pushed as a target by Min Lu twice.
So he volunteered: "Sir, I'll go with you."
Min Lu: “You——”
Fu Yanzhi nodded.
Min Lu didn't bother to push others to be shields this time, so she had to say, "Sir, what should we do? We can't just stay down like this. What if that filthy thing attacks the Chen family while you're away? How are we going to fight it?"
Xie Zao Zao said from the side: "You are in this state, and you still want to fight the enemy?"
Min Lu immediately became excited: "Of course, we mystic masters have some enlightenment, unlike you guys."
Xie Zao Zao nodded, pulled out a ribbon from his arms and made a circle on the ground: "All of you go in."
Everyone looked at each other, but when they saw that Fu Yanzhi didn't say anything, they all walked in.
Min Lu refused to move: "Are you kidding us? You just draw a circle and say you're protecting us. Do you think we're hamsters in the wild?"
Xie Zao Zao asked: "Are you really not going in?"
"I'm not going in. I'm not a fool."
Xie Zao Zao said: "Okay."
After saying that, Xie Zaozhao pinched his ten fingers together, and the ribbon flashed with a faint purple light, instantly floating in the air, forming a purple protective screen.
Min Lu sneered: "So many people, and such a small place——"
Xie Zaozao moved her fingers slightly, and the ribbon expanded to cover the entire yard, covering everyone except Min Lu.
Xie Zaozao: "Since you don't want to go in, just stay here and look after the house."
Min Lu: “You!!!”
She would never go in there even if she died!!
Seeing Xie leave early, Min Lu looked at the circle with regret but was unwilling to lose face and go in, so she had to stand at the door.
A mystic who was close to the Lin family looked at Xie Zaozao's back with astonishment on his face: "Is that... Xie Zaozao?"
