Nan Yuanman: "Huh?"
All the creatures around gathered around. Zhuangzhuang had a blade of grass on his head, Zhou Jingchuan was next to Bai Yi, and even Old Master Nan, who was keeping watch, came over.
Several pairs of eyes were fixed on the box that Nan Yuanman had opened, where the white porcelain doll lay quietly beside several pieces of jewelry.
"Ah!" A thought flashed through Zhou Jingchuan's mind, and he pointed at the porcelain doll, exclaiming, "Could this be something left behind by the woman who set up the formation in Batang Village last time?!"
"Her spirit looks a lot like this doll!"
However, this doll looked cleaner than the woman who possessed Jiang Xinxin.
"Is that possible?" Nan Yuanman picked up the porcelain doll and examined it from all angles. If it were something evil, how could it be in Grandma Kang's hands?
Could it be... that Grandma Kang is also a heretic?!
But her soul is very pure. Not only that, her soul also has golden light of merit. She is a very, very kind person. She has nothing to do with the evil path she has encountered these days!
Grandpa Nan stretched out his hand: "Let me see."
Nan Yuanman obediently placed the porcelain doll into the outstretched palm of Grandpa Nan.
A bluish-black mist emanated from his palm, enveloping the porcelain doll. After carefully sensing it, Old Master Nan said, word by word, "It is...that group of evil...things."
This porcelain doll was made from human ashes. Perhaps because it was buried under the stove and suppressed by the yang fire day and night, no evil spirits remained on it.
However, the yin energy left by the ashes of the deceased cannot be removed.
Nan Yuanman was stunned, his round face instantly scrunched up.
Seeing Nan Yuanman's distressed expression, Bai Yi, who had been quiet all along, gently suggested, "Yuanman, why don't we call Grandma Kang up and ask her?"
Nan Yuanman nodded decisively: "Okay!"
Nan Yuanman searched the room and found a piece of clothing that Grandma Kang had worn before her death. She then took out the incense burner and began to perform the ritual.
Grandma Kang, who had just arrived at Wangxiangtai, didn't even have time to take one last look at the mortal world before her vision blurred and she was instantly transported to a different environment.
Grandma Kang: "???"
She stared blankly at Nan Yuanman, completely bewildered.
What's wrong? Do you think she didn't pay you enough? Call her up and give her more?
But she has no money left!
Nan Yuanman politely apologized first: "Grandma Kang, I'm sorry to bother you for a moment. Where did you get this porcelain doll from?"
As she spoke, she handed the porcelain doll in her hand to Grandma Kang.
Grandma Kang looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar porcelain doll, thought hard for a moment, and said, "This is my dowry left to me by my mother. When she went out to make her way in the world, she swindled a rich fool out of it. It is said to be a Western item carved from very expensive white jade, and it is very valuable."
It was also the only rare item in her family at the time.
That's why her mother allowed her to bring her dowry, just to make a good impression.
"What's wrong?" Grandma Kang asked cautiously, "Could it be that this porcelain doll is fake and worthless?"
Nan Yuanman breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, patting her chest and saying, "Thank goodness, Grandma Kang, you're not one of those bad guys."
"Grandma Kang, your mother has been scammed! This is a porcelain doll made of human bones, not jade at all! It's worthless! Those scoundrels used it to cheat people! Look, their names are even on it!"
She pointed out the two characters engraved on the Nanmanyuan doll to Grandma Kang.
To her, those wicked people were all villains! And those who joined them were villains too! She wasn't generous enough to save the villains' henchmen.
Grandma Kang's vision went black: "What?!"
But she's dead now, so even if she's worthless, she can't give the little fairy any other reward!
"Wait a minute..." Grandma Kang realized, "Little fairy, what kind of heaven did you just show me? I know them!"
Nan Yuanman's eyes lit up: "Grandma Kang, do you know where the big bad guys' hideout is?!"
If Grandma Kang knew where those villains' hideout was, she would go and send them all to meet the King of Hell right now!
"No, no, no, I don't know where they live, but I do know that most of the people in this village are theirs. They say that if you join them, you can get several hundred yuan a month, and they also give you eggs, flour and oil!"
Grandma Kang remembers it so clearly because she wanted to join them even during the most difficult times.
Leaving aside eggs, flour, and oil, just those few hundred yuan—this old lady can save tens of yuan a month by being frugal!
Upon hearing this, a solemn expression appeared on Old Master Nan's stiff face.
According to Kang Meizi's account, that cult has quite a few followers among the people... Does 908 know about this? Did they try to stop it?
Nan Yuanman exclaimed in surprise, scratching her head, "It sounds like they're not all bad guys after all; they're doing good deeds!"
Nowadays, even the largest villages in the countryside have several thousand people! Each person needs to earn several hundred yuan a month, which means a lot of money is required!
She was even a little tempted by it.
Nan Yuanman rubbed his hands together and chuckled, "Um, Grandma Kang, how do I join them? Do you think I'll get money, eggs, and flour if I join?"
The little dumpling's pauper nature kicked in; if only he could get some eggs, flour, and oil, he could take them home and eat them for a long, long time!
She still hasn't forgotten the feeling of hunger she experienced when her grandfather lay unconscious in his coffin.
So if there's any food, I want to grab it.
Grandma Kang was stunned for a moment, but when she looked at Nan Yuanman's big, bright eyes and expectant expression, she suddenly realized what was going on.
The little fairy is trying to use herself as bait to investigate the shady dealings involved!
Grandma Kang was deeply moved. "Little Fairy, you are so kind!"
Grandma Kang slapped her thigh: "Little fairy! You've come to the right person!"
She leaned close to Nan Yuanman's ear and whispered something to her. Nan Yuanman's eyes brightened as she listened, and she happily burned some more for Grandma Kang before saying, "I understand, thank you, Grandma Kang."
"No need to thank me, no need to thank me." Grandma Kang smiled broadly, took the paper money, and continued on her way to the underworld.
Nan Yuanman closed the box in his hand with satisfaction, put it into the small coffin, and was eager to set off immediately to infiltrate the enemy army.
She had only taken two steps when fate grabbed her by the back of her collar.
Like a kitten being lifted up, Nan Yuanman helplessly clenched her chubby little hands and turned to look innocently at Grandpa Nan: "Grandpa, what are you doing?"
Old Master Nan: "You...cannot...go."
"Danger."
"Notify 908 and tell them to come and resolve this."
Nan Yuanman frowned, clearly disagreeing: "Grandpa, I'm a big girl now! I can't keep asking adults to help me solve problems. I can do it myself!"
"Besides, didn't Auntie say that there might be a traitor within 908? What if we tell 908 and alert them?"
Zhou Jingchuan silently corrected him: "It means to alert the enemy."
Nan Yuanman: "Yes!"
She pleaded earnestly, "Grandpa, I'm still young, so they won't be too wary of me. I can infiltrate their ranks and catch them off guard! That's how it's always portrayed in TV dramas!"
Zhou Jingchuan: "It was completely unexpected!"
He was speechless: "Master, if we don't know how to use idioms, let's not use them."
"But this time I'm on Grandpa's side. It's too dangerous for you to go alone!"
