Chapter 7: The Big Business of Egg-filled Pancakes
On a staircase where few people usually walk, a girl was sitting on the steps crying.
Duan Anluo walked over and squatted beside her, "You have no desire to live."
The girl was startled and wiped her tears hurriedly. "Who are you? When did you come?"
Duan Anluo took out a piece of candy and said, "I just got here. Do you want some candy? You will stop crying after eating it."
The girl shook her head and looked at him with a wary look, as if she was looking at a human trafficker. The better-looking the man, the less trustworthy he is.
Duan Anluo sat directly on the stairs and peeled a piece of White Rabbit candy to eat. "You should go back quickly. If you don't go back now, it will be too late."
The girl turned her face away and said calmly, "I don't want to live anymore. I'll just die."
Duan Anluo was amused. The little girl was like a cat, quite temperamental. "Because they don't believe you?"
The girl's eyes were red and she became angry when she said this. "I'm not pregnant. I don't know why they don't believe me."
Duan Anluo's tone was calm, "I know, you're just sick."
This simple sentence brought a glimmer of light to the girl's eyes, followed by even more grievance. A stranger believed her, so why didn't her parents believe her?
She was already very scared and didn't dare to see anyone, but they still wanted to make trouble at school.
Why do they keep pushing her like this?
She can't like anything, she can't do anything she wants, even making friends requires their permission. They only force her to study, study, and study!
They never believed what she said, they just wanted to see her transcript and see if they could respect her just once, even just once!
Is everything over if she dies?
As long as she died, they would no longer be able to force her, and she would not know how much they troubled her.
It would be better if you died, die quickly!
Duan Anluo interrupted her wandering thoughts, "You didn't die of old age, and you can't leave even if you die. You can only watch your parents go to school to make trouble with your teacher. You can't do anything you want."
"Why?" This sentence stirred up the girl's stagnant emotions, and her tears streamed down her face. Even death couldn't solve the problem, so what else could she do?
Duan Anluo comforted her: "Miss, I can prove your innocence and I can cure your illness."
The girl's eyes suddenly widened. "Really?" Then she lowered her head and said disappointedly, "Forget it. If there's this time, there will be a next time. They never believe me."
"Would you like to sign a contract with me? I'll cure your current illness and make sure your parents don't force you anymore. The condition is that if you make money in the future, you'll give me ten dollars a month for fifty years."
The girl was stunned. What kind of contract was this?
It’s only ten yuan a month, just the price of a cup of milk tea, and she can afford it now.
"Within five years, if you need my help again, I'll add ten yuan each time. If you come to me again after five years, the fee will depend on your financial ability." Duan Anluo raised his hand, "Let's high-five and swear. If you break the contract, you'll be in trouble."
The girl hesitated for a moment, and under Duan Anluo's gaze, she slowly raised her hand. In fact, she didn't have much hope, but she just didn't want to die so much for the time being.
After clapping their hands, Duan Anluo calmed her soul down for a moment, "Have you ever been to Xishan?"
“Yes, I’ve climbed the mountain myself.”
Xishan Mountain is located in the west of the city, with an altitude of only 500 meters. When she is in a bad mood, she takes advantage of her parents not being at home to secretly go hiking and come back the same day.
"See a temple?"
"Um."
"What wish did you make when you went in?"
The girl pursed her lips, feeling embarrassed to speak.
Duan Anluo stood up. It was clear without her saying anything that she just wanted to change her parents.
"The Bodhisattva can't fulfill your wish, but I can."
When Jiang Yuan found Duan Anluo by following his scent, he just happened to be coming out of the stairs. Jiang Yuan asked worriedly, "Master, why are you here?"
Duan Anluo tapped the child's head and said, "Your master just negotiated a big deal."
Jiang Yuan covered his forehead, "How big is it?"
Duan Anluo gestured and said, "Right now, it's about the size of an egg-filled pancake."
Jiang Yuan thought for a long time, but still couldn't understand how big the egg-filled pancake business was. Instead, he wanted to eat an egg-filled pancake, the kind with two eggs and spicy and sour potato shreds.
Duan Anlu went directly to the emergency department, where her parents were sweating profusely.
The doctor was just as anxious as they were. They'd checked Dong Jiaxi's stomach yesterday and found nothing abnormal. Another check today wouldn't be very helpful. Her parents were still pressing for surgery. What if they found nothing after opening it? Should they sew it up again?
Dong Jiaxi's physical condition is too poor now, and she has no desire to live. If she undergoes surgery, there is a 90% chance that she will not be able to get off the operating table and will die.
Dong Jiaxi's father was already getting anxious. "With such a big belly, you can't find anything, and you're at the First People's Hospital. Do you think I'll pay attention to you if I give you a red envelope? How much do you want? Just name a number, and I'll go back and sell my house!"
The doctor's face flushed with anger. "What nonsense are you talking about? We are a regular hospital! We don't accept red envelopes!"
Her mother was even more agitated. She grabbed the doctor's arm and was about to kneel down. "Doctor, please, I beg you! If anything happens to my daughter, I don't want to live anymore. I'm kneeling down in front of you. Please save her! Please save her!"
The medical staff hurriedly pulled her up and said, "It's not about the money. We really can't find the cause of the disease. Why don't you transfer to another hospital?"
"My daughter can't wait. She could die at any moment. How can I transfer her to another hospital?!"
If you have surgery, you will die.
Even without surgery, he would die.
The couple didn't want to do nothing and just watch their daughter die.
"Let's try. What if? What if she survives? We sign a waiver, and you do your best to save her. Is that okay?"
Duan Anluo glanced at the couple's faces and slowly approached them. "Since you care about her so much, why don't you trust her?"
Duan Anluo looked into the man's eyes in surprise. "You were born in a mountainous area and run a thriving business. Among the sixty-seven families in the village, most either have a son and a daughter, or only one son. Even your two useless brothers have sons. Only you, the most successful person in the village, have only two daughters."
You think you are looked down upon and laughed at for being childless, so you place all your hopes on your daughters, hoping that they will be admitted to prestigious universities, find decent jobs, and bring honor to you.
They have no freedom, no friends, no hobbies, only study and grades.
Your eldest daughter couldn't stand your control and ran away from home early. Seeing that she had grown up and was no longer under your control, you placed all your hopes on your youngest daughter, hoping that she would become a successful woman.
You forced her to excel, forced her to bring honor to you. Now she is dying, do you still feel proud? "
Everyone present was so shocked that they forgot to react, especially the girl's parents, because every word spoken by this handsome young man was true.
They clearly didn't know this person.
Duan Anluo then asked the girl's mother, "You are also a woman. You were looked down upon by your parents when you were a child, but your store's business is supported by you. Why do you still think girls are incompetent?"
The woman avoided looking directly at Duan Anluo's eyes that could see through people's hearts.
She didn't give birth to a son, so when the young men in the village got married, they didn't even ask her to make their beds.
She felt from the bottom of her heart that others looked down on her. Even her relatives from her mother's side would say to her when they asked her to borrow money: You don't have a son, what's the point of saving so much money?
It’s not that she doesn’t love her child, she just wants her to have a bright future so that she can hold her head up high in front of her relatives.
The medical staff present were the first to react, "Who are you? How did you get up here?"
Duan Anluo took out a Taoist certificate from Jiang Yuan's pocket. There was a red seal on it. This was the lowest grade certificate that his young disciple had worked hard to pass.
People in the metaphysics circle can understand the levels, but ordinary people can't. They just know that they are regular Taoist priests. Dong Jiaxi's parents immediately showed awe to them.
"My daughter was harmed by something dirty?"
Duan Anluo returned the Taoist certificate to Jiang Yuan and said, "Since I'm not sure, why don't I try it first? If it doesn't work, you guys can do it later."
"Can you really save my daughter? How long will it take to cure her?" He thought that if it didn't take long, he could give it a try, and if it didn't work, he could then let the doctor perform surgery.
Duan Anluo raised a finger.
"An hour?"
"One minute."
The doctor was at a loss for words. "We are a hospital, you are practicing feudal superstition..."
Before he could finish his words, his cell phone rang. The doctor answered the call. The person on the other end said something. The doctor looked at Duan Anluo in shock, then changed his tone: "Do whatever you want. Our hospital is not responsible if anything goes wrong. We have surveillance cameras, so you can't blame us if things go wrong."
Duan Anluo raised his eyebrows, looked up at the camera, and calmly extended three fingers.
How do people say that nowadays? OJBK? okk? Anyway, it's no problem, leave it to me!
The person peeking in the dean's office: "..."
Duan Anluo raised his hand in the air, suppressed the evil spirit churning in the girl's body, put his five fingers together, and grabbed out directly.
With the experience of the previous two absorptions, he did not hesitate this time and directly absorbed the negative energy into his body to repair his weak body.
The girl's belly was shrinking visibly. The evil spirit struggling inside sensed danger and wanted to break out of her body, but Duan Anluo crushed it with his spiritual energy and absorbed it completely.
The last spiritual energy awakens the sleeping soul, "Solidify the soul and calm the spirit, wake up!"
Dong Jiaxi opened her eyes under the expectant gaze of her parents. The doctors and nurses ran faster than them and rushed over to do various checks. They only breathed a sigh of relief when they were sure there was no danger. When they looked at Duan Anluo again, their eyes had changed.
Especially the emergency doctor, thinking about what the dean said to him, he always felt something was wrong. He felt like there was a magnitude 3 or 4 earthquake. It didn't collapse, but it was shaking violently.
The first thing Dong Jiaxi said when he saw his parents was: "Dad, Mom, you believe me."
The couple held her hands tightly and said, "It's not your fault that your parents believe in you."
Dong Jiaxi looked at Duan Anluo who was not far away, and the corners of her mouth curled up reluctantly, "Thank you."
Her father wiped away his tears and said, "Thank you so much, Taoist priest. I'll transfer some money to you for the incense offering."
Duan Anluo took out his phone and opened the payment QR code. "Just give it as you see fit. I won't force you."
The girl had already given it, her parents had insisted on it, and there was nothing he could do. Although the Buddha said: wealth, fame and fortune are like empty flowers, if you are trying to persuade him, then forget it.
He now believes in what the Taoists say about letting things take their own course. Not only does he not want to refuse, he also wants as much as possible.
"Your two daughters are very lucky. According to numerology, people with great luck are more likely to attract bad people to stand in their way. Has your business been getting worse since your eldest daughter ran away from home?"
The man nodded vigorously. "Yes, business is indeed not as good as before. You are absolutely right!"
As long as you are a businessman, you will immediately be interested when it comes to money.
Duan Anluo said seriously, mixing truth with lies: "That's all the work of villains. Some people can't stand you doing well, so they always use the fact that you don't have a son as an excuse. In the future, you should make decisive decisions. If anyone says that your daughter is not good, just scold them, and your business will get better and better. To be frank, they are blocking your way to wealth."
The man suddenly realized that this was the case.
After they started their business, they made money, bought a house and a car, and every time they went back home, people would talk about their daughter. Actually, he didn't like to hear those people talking, but since they talked about it, it was inevitable that he would be affected.
He originally wanted to transfer 2,000 after scanning the code, but he immediately changed it to 3,000. This master is amazing. I made a good connection with him today, and I can even ask him to check the feng shui of my store in the future. Maybe my business will get better and better.
Duan Anluo narrowed his eyes as he looked at the numbers, "Believe me, daughter, you will have grandchildren around you and enjoy your old age. The whole village will envy your good life.
If you continue to be manipulated by villains, you will drive her to death, and your eldest daughter will hate you to death. In the future, you will have to live under a bridge when you are old, and there will be no one to collect your bodies when you die."
The man quickly transferred 35% of the money to Duan Anluo and said, "Thank you, Master. I'll remember this! I won't let this foolishness creep in again. If anyone laughs at me for not having a son again, I'll cut off all ties with their family!"
Duan Anluo looked at the account record and waved happily to Dong Jiaxi. He had said everything he needed to say, and it was up to her to decide what to do in the future.
Dong Jiaxi thought Duan Anluo was reminding her about the contract, and nodded solemnly. Don't worry, she won't default on her debt.
There was still a tadpole-sized evil spirit left on Duan Anluo's finger. These things were controlled by evil creatures and stuffed into the bodies of ordinary people.
In this world, hemp ropes always break at the thinnest part, and misfortune always finds the unfortunate people.
This thing tortures these poor people in order to absorb their painful emotions and nourish itself.
Now that the prey is gone, the evil creature can sense it.
Duan Anluo shook his finger and said, "Come out and talk?"
A cold and resentful voice seemed to come from hell, "It's you again! Killing my child!"
Duan Anluo: "Is it fun to play with other people's lives and emotions?"
"What do you know? They all deserve to die! Everyone deserves to die! This is the crime they committed!"
"If you tie a few more knots on your head, you think you are a Bodhisattva. The one with many knots may not be a Bodhisattva, but may be Jerusalem artichoke." Duan Anluo strangled the evil spirit on his hands with disgust, and wiped his hands with the corner of his little disciple's clothes. The smell of blood was too strong. He had inhaled so much and he was not clean anymore.
