Chapter 57 I'll Save Everyone Except You
After Xie Zaozao finally came out, Chen Xiaohua opened her eyes again. She looked at Xie Zaozao with longing eyes: "Sister, I, I want to live..."
As soon as she finished speaking, her body shrank another inch.
Old Chen cried out, rushed over and hugged Chen Xiaohua: "My daughter, my daughter, please hold on! Mr. Fu, please save her!"
The couple favors boys over girls, but they don't want their daughter to die!
Fu Yanzhi lit a talisman on the girl's forehead, then turned it gently, and faint sparks swirled on her cheeks like fireflies.
The shrinking trend of the body stopped, and Chen Xiaohua's complexion looked better.
Almost at the same time, laughter was heard from Old Chen's house. The laughter sounded like children playing, or girls being playful. The sound was so pleasant to the ears that it made everyone change color.
Min Lu's expression suddenly changed: "Xie Zaozao, what did you say to make this dirty thing angry?"
Xie Zao Zao glanced at Min Lu: "When did you hear me speak?"
Min Lu: "Then why did you touch the girl's eyebrows just now? Weren't you transmitting sound?"
Xie Zaozao: "I'm wiping her sweat."
After saying that, he pulled Chen Jiayou over, took out a handkerchief and gestured on his forehead in a pretentious manner: "That's it."
Xie Zaozao seemed to know where Min Lu's weakness was, and her movements and postures were very suggestive, but in fact she didn't touch anyone at all.
Min Lu was angry.
What the hell, wiping sweat! You can wipe sweat just between your eyebrows? Who are you trying to fool?
And why are you standing so close to Brother Chen?! You're a widow, shouldn't you wear a black veil and stay away from men?!
Min Lu stood up angrily——
About the same height as sitting up.
What's going on?
Min Lu realized it belatedly and looked down, and was shocked to find that she had also begun to shrink, and her body began to have the same bad smell as Chen Xiaohua.
Min Lu froze in an instant. She became a master of mystic arts for two reasons: one was to have some status in the family, the other was to find a rich husband.
This time the matter was rather tricky, as several mystical masters had come. Min Lu saw that Chen Jiayou might not be able to succeed, so she thought of trying her luck to see if she could meet a new one.
As a result, before he could find the right person to attack, he fell into the trap himself.
She looked at Xie Zaozao with some resentment. If this woman hadn't seduced Chen Jiayou, she wouldn't have come here to suffer this.
She usually loves cleanliness and even her clothes and shoes are fumigated to smell fragrant. Now the smell on her body is simply disgusting. How can she stand it?
She looked at Xie Zaozhao with resentment. This woman had made herself like this, but she was standing there, dressed so beautifully. On her left stood Mr. Fu, who took good care of her, and on her right stood Chen Jiayou, who helped her take care of the child.
Hugging left and right!
A shame for women!
Why can't she do this!
Thinking of this, Min Lu couldn't help but attack Xie Zao Zao: "Miss Xie, the child was fine originally. What on earth did you do to make the child's condition suddenly worse, and bring us into trouble?"
Min Lu pointed at some of his fellow disciples who had been attacked like him, and said with deep sorrow: "We mystic masters are most afraid of being careless in our actions, otherwise it will easily put innocent people in danger."
"Xie Zaozao, although you are quite powerful, you still have to take everyone's life seriously. You just touched that girl's forehead, and then we ended up like this. How dare you say it has nothing to do with you?"
Xie Zaozao: "Dare to say it, it has nothing to do with me."
Min Lu: “You——”
Chen Jiayou hurriedly advised: "Alright, alright, let's get down to business. Stop arguing. We're all members of the Fu family, what are you arguing about?"
It's not good to make others laugh at you. Go home and close the door and quarrel as much as you want, but be united outside.
Chen Jiayou originally wanted to talk about it when he got home, but now that there were outsiders watching, Min Lu misunderstood it and thought it meant something else.
Senior Brother Chen actually speaks for Xie Zao Zao everywhere!
Doesn't he know what kind of person Xie Zaozao is?
She couldn't help but jump out again: "Why can't we say it? Are we being dragged down by her in vain? After all, she is not a member of the Fu family!"
She pulled a young man she was familiar with and said bitterly, "As mystical masters, we're naturally not afraid of death. But if someone commits suicide and gets us into trouble, wouldn't that be an unjust death? We're here to save people, not to clean up after brainless people!"
Before Xie Zaozao could refute this, she heard Fu Yanzhi say coldly, "Isn't it because you didn't learn the skills well that you became like this?"
Min Lu was embarrassed, her face flushed, and she lowered her head in shame.
She was not ashamed of her own behavior, but because Fu Yanzhi scolded her in public, which made her lose face!
She bit her lip and silently retreated into the crowd, feeling extremely wronged.
Xie Zaozao didn't let her hide: "The one who was yelling just now, you think you saved someone? Who did you save?"
Min Lu counterattacked: "What about you, who did you save?"
Xie Zaozao: "I'll save everyone except you later."
Min Lu was so angry that she couldn't breathe and became five inches shorter.
Xie Zao Zao turned around and walked into the house. Old Chen's family was relatively poor, and there was basically nothing in the house except for broken furniture. There was only a shiny jar in the corner that looked worth some money.
Xie Zaozao walked straight to the jar. Old Chen followed behind him, wiping his sweat. "That's the jar. Buy it and then..."
"Didn't you throw it away?"
Old Chen was stunned for a moment and then smiled apologetically, "I originally threw it away, but after that I found it among other things at home. This thing is really good, so I picked it up."
Xie Zaozao glanced at him, and Old Chen suddenly felt his back tighten.
This little girl is so pretty and charming, but why does she make people's scalps tingle when they look at her?
She seems to be no worse than Mr. Fu. No wonder Mr. Fu asked her to give birth to his child.
Xie Zao Zao glanced at the jar and was about to speak when he heard Fu Yanzhi say from behind: "It's a good thing you didn't throw the jar away."
Old Chen suddenly felt happy amidst his sorrow: "What do you mean? Is there something special about this jar?"
Xie Zao Zao: "If you threw away this jar, I'm afraid your whole family would be dead now."
Old Chen sat down on the ground, his face as pale as death.
Fu Yanzhi: "Tell me, where did you dig out this jar?"
Xie Zao Zao glanced at Fu Yanzhi, wondering why this person interrupted him. But then he turned his attention to what Lao Chen was saying.
Old Chen originally wanted to hide it, but seeing the situation, he was afraid that it would be bad if he continued to hide it, so he had to tell the truth.
It turned out that Old Chen had been worrying about his son's future marriage these days, and his daughter's childhood engagement was also not arranged, so he was thinking about whether there was any other way to get some money.
Finally, he really thought of something. He took the few copper coins he had just earned from selling firewood and ran to the ghost market.
The so-called ghost market is not a market run by ghosts, but an alley that specializes in selling things related to the dead. The alley is only open at midnight, and everyone wears a mask for fear of being discovered by the government or mystics.
At the beginning, the ghost market was quite harmonious, with people selling the belongings of deceased family members to supplement their family income. But gradually, some people started selling funeral items, and some even dug up the graves of wealthy people for money.
Some people also went to rob ancient tombs, digging out valuable things and selling them for money. At the beginning, the tomb robbers had some sense and knew to only take the valuable things after digging.
But later, once they dug up a grave, they would not return empty-handed. They would take whatever they saw, even leaving their underwear for the deceased.
Just look at Lao Chen’s pickle jar and you’ll know.
If they can steal this stuff, what else can't they sell?
