Wang Laosan finally took it seriously and took a few people to the pond he mentioned.
The second senior brother had a serious face and whispered to Jiang Mubai, "Let's see what happens. If something goes wrong, leave immediately. I don't think my uncle is very reliable."
Jiang Mubai nodded.
But the second brother was soon slapped in the face, because the uncle actually caught a vengeful spirit with a red rope. It was several unborn children entangled together. Wang Laosan's family was scared silly. The pregnant woman knelt down and started crying, muttering words that she was sorry for their human race.
Wang Laosan kicked her, glanced at his uncle, and remained stubborn: "How dare a few little devils harm my son? Then who is it, kill them!"
The woman rushed over and hugged his legs and begged: "No, let them go! They are your children too..."
Wang Laosan said gloomily, "Get out of here! Hurry up!"
Jiang Mubai watched his uncle take no action and couldn't help but feel a little worried. But his uncle suddenly twisted his neck and opened his mouth to introduce: "This thing is called an infant spirit. Children who have just been born or died before being born will turn into this thing." He shook the red rope and said, "If they escape, they will pursue your whole family to the death."
Wang Laosan was a little panicked: "Then what are you waiting for? Deal with them quickly!"
The uncle laughed and said, "Why do you want to deal with it? Oh, I forgot, the five copper coins you paid me were for me to investigate the cause of the evil, not for exorcism."
Wang Laosan's eyes widened: "You!"
The uncle shook the rope.
Wang Laosan swallowed his words.
"How much?" he gritted his teeth.
"Since you are so pitiful, I will give you ten taels of silver."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Mubai heard his second senior brother beside him gasp.
"Ten taels? Are you crazy? Master Xuanchen only charges a few coins at most! You, you, you..."
"I, I, I, he is him and I am me. You won't give it to me, right? Then I'm going to die." As the uncle was about to untie the red rope, the trapped ghost kept twisting and turning, looking very scary.
"Five taels! Five taels!" Wang Laosan softened immediately when he saw that his uncle was really going to release this thing.
"Ten taels." The uncle's hands did not stop moving. Jiang Mubai didn't know whether he should go up to stop the uncle. He guessed that his second senior brother thought so too, but because of the uncle's status, he didn't dare to move.
"Eight taels! I only have eight taels!"
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, so just look for whoever you should look for, okay." Jiang Mubai looked at his uncle whispering to the thing as if he was coaxing a child, which was a bit creepy.
"Ten taels!" Wang Laosan stomped his feet.
"Cash." The uncle immediately stood up straight and asked Jiang Mubai to follow Wang Laosan to get the silver.
Jiang Mubai listened to Wang Laosan's complaints and insults, feeling extremely uneasy. "Master uncle actually accepted ten taels of silver from someone else? Could he really accept so much for exorcising evil spirits?"
After taking the silver and putting it here, he nodded to his uncle, who looked very satisfied. The next moment, he tightened the red rope and carried it on his shoulders.
"What are you...doing?"
The uncle-master didn't even turn his head and motioned Jiang Mubai and the others to follow.
"Take it with you. I think this thing is very cute. Let's find a water tank to keep it. Do you want it?" He nodded and asked.
Wang Laosan shrank back: "You took the money! Why didn't you kill them?"
"The money I earn from catching them is the money I earn from catching them. Killing them will cost me a lot of money. It's very expensive."
