Chapter 91
I quickly made a batch of jade magic tools. In Xinjie's words, the aura doesn't need to be that strong, just a little bit of use will do. Anyway, they are all sold to Thailand.
This batch of magical instruments totaled fifty, with various uses. After handing them over to Xinjie, he actually went to Thailand. This is completely different from the man I knew. Before, he spent his days playing around, but now he's started a business, albeit a minor one.
I specially left two jade beads for Zhang Song and Mao Jianming, engraved fire bells and blessing spells on them, and sent them to them by express delivery.
Fuyuantang is doing good business now. We can sell more than 20 magical instruments a month. Seeing the business is getting more and more popular, Xiaorong and I are motivated to go to work every day.
One day, a young girl came into the shop and asked, "Do you have any fortune tellers here?"
"What problem did you encounter? Can you tell me briefly?" I saw that she was a little restrained, so I tried to speak gently.
"I have been seeing unclean things in our village recently. I have consulted a local monk before, but he said he couldn't see them. I wonder if the monk in your temple can help me," she said.
"I'm the gentleman here. If you trust me, I'll help you take a look," I said.
Everyone who heard that I could deal with ghosts was very surprised. This reminded me of what Sister Rui said to me: she is a very quiet girl, but the job she does is too scary.
Ever since I saved Xin Jie, Sister Rui has been chatting with me online every day, and sometimes she comes to Fuyuantang to see me.
Of course, she would often introduce me to some of her friends, telling me how powerful the magic tools I had were. Her friends were all very shrewd. Given Sister Rui's status in Shi City, even if what she said was false, everyone would buy one after hearing it.
I never point it out. When Sister Rui's friends buy things, I will specifically give them some small precautions. After all, I am not a swindler who just sells without caring about the consequences.
Ruijie also bought a love lock from me, with the intention of firmly binding Xin Zhongrui. But I also told her that no matter how powerful a magic weapon is, it is only an artifact; the real driving force is still the person himself.
She said it was just for good luck. In fact, her relationship with Xin Zhongrui has been very stable over the years. Even if both of them are angry, Xin Zhongrui will make concessions.
As the chairman of Xinhai Bank, it is not easy to have such an attitude. They say that money can make people bad, and this sentence applies not only to men but also women. However, whether it is Sister Rui or Xin Zhongrui, it can be seen that they have deep feelings for each other.
Sister Rui has the appearance of a good wife who brings good luck to her husband. It is a blessing for Xin Zhongrui to marry Sister Rui.
Let’s stop talking nonsense and get back to the girl who is standing there feeling a little uneasy.
"I believe you, but I don't have any money. I can use things at home to pay for it. Do you think that's okay?" she said timidly.
Only then did I observe her appearance. It was already very hot, but she was still wearing thick spring clothes. Although they had been washed, there were still some traces of mending on them.
Nowadays, it is not common to see girls dressed like this in Shi City.
I said, "Okay, then take me to your village first. The problem isn't with you."
When she heard me say yes, she nodded in surprise and bowed and said thank you.
I quickly supported her waist. It shouldn't be such a big deal for such a small thing.
Just now, when I looked at her appearance, I also took a look at her aura. There was indeed some black energy gathered between her brows, but her whole aura was very natural.
"Xiao Rong, I'll leave the store to you. I'll go with her first."
"Okay, boss. Remember to send me the location when you arrive." He said with a smile.
"Why?" I asked curiously.
"I'm afraid you'll be tricked into some remote mountain village and used as a reproductive tool." Xiaorong said helplessly.
After Xiaorong said this, the girl in front of me quickly said, "No, no, the villagers are very nice. Forget it, I'll leave then."
She ran out in a panic, and I quickly chased her. Without even turning back, I shouted, "Just stay home and take care of the store!"
When I caught up with the girl, she was squatting in the corner crying. I patted her shoulder and she quickly lowered her head to wipe away her tears. When she saw that I was chasing her, she didn't say anything and just squatted there.
I am sometimes very soft-hearted. Seeing her like this, I couldn't bear it and said, "Come on, take me to your house."
After comforting her for a while, she finally said, "I really didn't lie to you."
"I get it. Xiaorong is just quick-witted. Actually, she's not a bad person. Don't take it to heart. Let's go."
She stood timidly beside me, and I got to know her situation through chatting.
The girl's name is Li Fei. She is from Ping County. Her parents died early, and she was raised by people from the same village who fed her one by one.
What she is facing now is that every night when she goes to sleep, she hears someone whispering in her ear.
When she heard the whisper, she would instantly fall into a nightmare and would not wake up until dawn.
If you have nightmares for one or two days, it's not a big deal. But if you have nightmares for a long time, it will make you feel unwell, which is actually because your brain is not getting enough rest.
According to modern medicine, everyone dreams at night, but they forget about it when they wake up in the morning. Prolonged dreaming can affect the brain's rest, which is why there is a black aura between her eyebrows.
Of course, there is another point. This black energy is indeed abnormal, otherwise I would not have gone with her.
I drove to her house according to her instructions. It might be her first time riding in a car, so she was very reserved and timid.
After sitting for a while, she began to look out the window with curiosity. It had only been over an hour since we arrived at her house, and she exclaimed, "It went by so fast! It took me half a day to walk there when I was there!"
"You mean you walked into the city?" I looked at her.
"It wasn't a complete journey. Uncle Zhang from the village took me to the county," she said.
Ping County is very far from the city. It is hard to imagine how tired she must have been walking all the way there.
The moment I saw their village, I was shocked.
Our village is already very backward, but many people have built new houses, while this village still has the old tiled houses from the last century. The tiles on the roofs are still black and gray, and the walls are made of large stones with a small amount of cement added in the cracks.
Seeing this village, I was overwhelmed with emotion. Time seemed to have stood still here. Smoke rose from the chimneys, and the sounds of children playing and parents shouting for their children to come home filled the streets.
Li Fei and I got out of the car and all the children in the village surrounded us.
They looked at me curiously. Li Fei said, "Xiao Ya, didn't you hear Aunt Liu calling you home for dinner?"
The little girl named Xiaoya smiled and ran home.
The remaining children asked boldly, "Sister Feifei, who is the sister next to you? She is so beautiful."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile.
