"Is it, is it that simple?"
The problem that has troubled Hejiacun for so long actually has such a simple solution?
For a moment, the old man suspected that the young fortune teller was lying to him.
"Old man, think carefully, when is the calmest time on that road?"
"Uh, it seems to be the period after burning paper money."
Even so, the old man was still skeptical, thinking that this method was too simple.
Don’t think about it, the village has found many Taoist priests and paid so much money for this matter, but the problem has not been solved.
As a result, the anchor said that it would be better to burn more paper money.
So simple?
"Old man, if you don't believe it, you can burn more paper money now and see if he feels it's enough, he will be quiet."
[What if they run out? They'll just come back and do bad things.]
"Don't worry, he won't come up again."
I understand what my sister means. Anyway, let's trick the person away first. Later, uh, later, my sister will definitely have a way. Grandpa, just burn it first and see, otherwise you will be saving people here for the rest of your life (laughing and crying)
"At least we can try our best to save her. At most, we can move the paper money we burned for her in advance."
【Hahahaha, who is this “she” of yours, Grandpa?】
Ji Yu replied to the message: "It was the old man's wife who passed away last year."
[Hiss, if Grandpa's wife knows about this, she won't come looking for him in the middle of the night, right?]
"I'll definitely find it."
Ji Yu smiled with his eyes narrowed, and his body visibly stiffened as he watched the old man taking paper money from the room.
He Dong smiled and shouted to his grandfather's back: "Don't worry, Grandpa, I will explain the situation to Grandma."
"Pah, pah, pah, what a bunch of rotten things."
The old man came out with several boxes of paper money and asked Ji Yu in Mandarin with an accent.
"Master, are these enough?"
"That's enough."
[Wow, I've never seen so much paper money in my life except in a store.]
[Grandpa, why do you keep so much paper money at home? ]
He Dong laughed innocently and said, "Hahaha, my grandfather runs a small shop in the village, and he also prepares paper money, firecrackers and other things at home."
【……6】
[Aren’t you using your grandmother’s paper money? ]
"Well, it was my grandma who came up with the idea to open this shop, so my grandpa thinks everything inside belongs to my grandma, including the paper money, of course."
Because there were too many paper money, one iron basin could not hold them all, so they simply put more than a dozen iron basins in. The flames rose slowly, illuminating the entire lakeside.
[As expected of a small shop, they even have so many iron basins.]
[Wow, what a big fire, so much paper money, and so many iron basins.]
Not long after the fire started, a loud voice came from not far away, breaking the silence of the small village.
"Fire, fire!"
"There seems to be a fire at the Ho Tung House. Come and put it out quickly."
Ho Tung, old man: "..."
"puff."
Ji Yu couldn't help it, and as if it was a signal, countless hahahahahahs appeared in the live broadcast room in an instant.
[It's on fire. I'm dying of laughter. I can laugh for a whole year.]
[Today was truly an eye-opener. This was the first time I saw burning paper money. The fire was so big it looked like it was on fire.]
Immediately afterwards, under the surprised gazes of the viewers in the live broadcast room, countless people ran out of their homes carrying buckets of water.
"It's on fire. Something's on fire."
"It's the Ho Tung family."
A group of people fetched water directly from the lake and poured it bucket after bucket towards the fire without saying a word.
"No, hey, wait, wait, don't splash it."
"Ahhh, stop splashing it, stop splashing it."
"What a misunderstanding, what a misunderstanding, it's not a fire, oops."
The grandfather and grandson were so anxious that one was pulling the other away, but in the end, they were taken to a "safe" area by the enthusiastic villagers.
The two tried to squeeze back in, but failed. In the end, they could only watch as all the paper money was soaked by water.
Grandfather and grandson: Silence is the Hejiacun Bridge tonight.
【Hahahahahahahahahahaha, I'm laughing like crazy, sorry, this is so funny.】
[The two of them stood there helplessly.]
【All this paper money was burned in vain.】
[What a warm-hearted villager! As soon as they noticed something was wrong, they came out to put out the fire for you.]
Ho Tung: There is no need to be so enthusiastic now.
"grandfather."
“Hey.”
"What should I do?"
The old man exhaled a breath of foul air and closed his eyes resignedly: "Wait until they are done."
After a while, the enthusiastic villagers who had put out the fire came out with buckets of water and bright smiles on their faces.
"Mr. He, it's almost winter and the weather is very dry, so fires are easy to start. What are you burning so late at night? What if something goes wrong?"
"Burning paper money."
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding villagers immediately turned their eyes to the grandfather and grandson, and everyone's face showed suspicion and disbelief.
[It's so funny, these people are wondering if they heard it wrong.]
"Are you kidding me? Why are you burning paper money for no reason?"
"I found a master who said that if we want to send the wronged souls away from this lake, we need to burn more paper money for them. If they have more money down there, they will naturally leave."
"Is this true?"
A gray-haired old man about the same age as Mr. He pushed away the person who had just spoken.
"Old He, is that master reliable? After burning paper money, will he come over tomorrow to perform a ritual?"
The old man was confused and picked up the phone to ask Ji Yu.
Seeing her shake her head, he said, "There's no need to do any rituals, just burn more paper money for him."
"You don't even need to do the rituals?"
The gray-haired old man looked at it suspiciously. Seeing that the person on the phone was so young, he shook his head in disapproval: "No, no, it won't work. She's not reliable at first glance. Lao He, you have to find someone around our age. This little girl looks even younger than your boy."
He Dong became excited: "Sister Ji Yu is younger than me, but she is a person with great abilities. All the Taoist priests you used to find had to call me "senior" in front of me, Ji Yu."
"Then which famous family is this girl from?"
He Dong: “…”
How would he know?
Ji Yu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter to me whether you believe me or not. What's important is that you've already found so many Taoist priests and they haven't solved the problem. Why don't you try my method? It all comes down to burning more paper money. You can wait for half a month to see the specific results."
"Two old men, how about giving it a try? My son falls into that tunnel every year when he comes home, and I'm really a little scared."
Cars have been falling into the lake at this turning point for a year now, and it's not going to work if it continues like this.
After thinking for a moment, Mr. He silently went to the warehouse and brought in a lot of paper money.
At the same time, Ji Yu also wrote a letter and burned it directly into Xiao Suantou's hands.
Once the wronged soul enters Fengdu, it can never return to the ground.
