When Li's mother heard this, she believed it and became anxious immediately: "How could it be so serious? Look, it's obviously healed. He couldn't eat by himself before, but now he can eat by himself. How could it be getting worse?"
Grandma Bu walked around Sheng Chengan and Pei Nuo with a cane, muttering to herself and gesturing with her free hand.
Sheng Cheng'an and Zhou Luancheng could not understand the local dialect, but from the ups and downs of Grandma Bu's voice, they could guess that she was reciting something like a spell.
After turning around, Grandma Bu stopped in front of Sheng Chengan and frowned at him: "Why did you look for Xiaonuo so much? You have a wronged soul possessed by you. In order to give the wronged soul a place to parasitize, you chose Xiaonuo, right?"
Sheng Cheng'an was shocked. Although he knew that Grandma Bu was talking nonsense, he felt nervous for no reason. He had heard that there were many strange people and things in the countryside in the south.
I still couldn't help but wonder, could Grandma Bu really see something? Or was Zhu Zhu's spirit following him all the time?
Zhou Luancheng saw it clearly from the side. Seeing Sheng Chengan frowning and not speaking, he quickly said, "Old man, there are no ghosts or gods in this world. This is a new society. You don't need these old ideas."
Mother Li was already panicking, and obviously believed what Grandma Bu said. She quickly stopped Zhou Luancheng: "Hey, young man, you don't know anything, so don't talk nonsense. In the past, leaders have consulted Grandma Bu for medical treatment. You young people don't know anything, so you just follow suit and talk nonsense."
Grandma Bu quickly apologized in a humble manner: "Oh, don't listen to their nonsense. These people from the city don't know anything. If they knew how powerful you are, they would definitely not say that."
My ears are working very well now and my speech speed has become much faster.
It was obvious that no one had dared to challenge Grandma Bu's authority. She looked at Zhou Luancheng coldly, took a few steps back, and snorted, "It's not a good thing for young people to be too arrogant. One day they will suffer."
Then he shook his head and looked at Li's mother: "You guys are asking for trouble. I may not be able to help you."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away with his cane. Li's mother was so scared that she chased after him: "Hey, Grandma Shebu, we can talk it out. You said these children are not sensible. They definitely don't understand these things."
As a result, she chased him all the way to the door, but Grandma Bu showed no intention of stopping. Instead, she walked faster and faster.
Li's mother couldn't catch up, so she sighed for a while at the gate before returning to the yard in frustration.
Looking at Zhou Luancheng and Sheng Chengan, then at Pei Nuo, he sighed heavily: "You guys..."
Father Li, who had been silent all this time, now spoke: "You will go back to where you came from."
Sheng Chengan was very confused. He was just a country doctor. Why were the two old people so scared?
"You also believe this? What is the origin of this Grandma Bu?"
Mother Li sighed and waved her hand for everyone to sit down: "Sit down first. I can't blame you. You can stay here tonight and leave tomorrow."
"In our area, we believe in traditional Chinese medicine. Many diseases cannot be cured by going to the hospital, especially some evil diseases. We need to find a witch doctor like Grandma Bu to treat them."
"When Xiaonuo first came, she had a high fever. My daughter took her to see Grandma Bu. She recovered after taking two doses of medicine. Xiaonuo was only three years old at that time. After she recovered, she refused to eat and cried every day. It was also Grandma Bu who treated her. She said that she had encountered something unclean. Finally, she caught a rooster and performed a ritual to cure her."
Everything he said was full of admiration and awe for Grandma Bu.
Sheng Cheng'an and Zhou Luancheng looked at each other. It turned out that the problem was with Grandma Bu. No wonder Pei Nuo was afraid of her. She must have used some extremely terrifying methods when treating patients.
Father Li waited for Mother Li to finish speaking, and then remained silent for a while: "You can stay at home tonight and leave early tomorrow morning."
Originally, Zhou Luancheng and Sheng Chengan were planning to stay at a hotel in town, but now that Grandma Bu showed up, they both nodded in agreement to stay.
After that, Li's mother no longer had the heart to chat with them. She cleaned up the dishes with a heavy heart and hobbled to the kitchen.
Father Li was a man of few words to begin with, and now he was smoking his water pipe in silence.
When going to bed at night, Li's mother saw Pei Nuo holding Sheng Chengan tightly, so she gave in to the girl's wish and let Sheng Chengan and Pei Nuo live in Pei Nuo's former room.
Zhou Luancheng lived in the house next door, and the two old people lived in a small room next to the kitchen.
I don’t know if it was because of the elderly’s living habits or because of what happened in the evening that made the two of them uneasy. After assigning them rooms and telling them that there was hot water on the stove, I went back to the room to rest early.
Zhou Luancheng stood in the yard and watched for a while, then went to Pei Nuo's room and watched Sheng Chengan washing Pei Nuo's hands. He leaned against the door and watched for a while: "Be careful when you go to bed tonight."
Sheng Chengan frowned: "What do you mean? Is there any danger?"
Zhou Luancheng shook his head: "It's hard to say, but the customs of the people in these places are not as simple as we think. They have their own living habits. If we offend them, it will be disrespectful to them. And the whole town is very united. If we really cause trouble, we can't leave."
Sheng Cheng'an didn't say a word. He silently wiped Pei Nuo's hands and face, then took out some vanishing cream and wiped her face carefully.
Zhou Luancheng did not say anything. He watched him finish quietly before he spoke: "I'm going out tonight. You stay here and keep an eye on Pei Nuo. No matter what happens, don't get into conflict with the locals. Wait for me to come back and resolve it."
Sheng Chengan also had a bad feeling: "What could happen? Could that so-called Grandma Bu bring people in? Also, I think it's too dangerous for you to go alone, I'll go with you."
Zhou Luancheng tapped Pei Nuo with his chin: "If you come with me, what about Pei Nuo? Are you worried about her being alone at home?"
Sheng Cheng'an didn't say anything. He was indeed worried about Pei Nuo being alone, but he was also worried about letting Zhou Luancheng go out alone.
He also guessed that Zhou Luancheng must be going to investigate Grandma Bu, which would definitely be more dangerous.
People in small places are more united and easier to be brainwashed.
If they listened to that Grandma Bu, she might fight them to death, so he was worried about Zhou Luancheng going alone.
"I've heard that the people in the southern mountains are barbaric. Why don't we go together tomorrow during the day?"
As they were talking, Pei Nuo, who had been sitting obediently on the bed, letting Sheng Chengan rub perfume on her, suddenly jumped up, pointed at the door frame and screamed.
Sheng Chengan followed Pei Nuo's gaze and was almost frightened to death. He saw a three-foot-long green snake coiled on the door frame above Zhou Luancheng's head, hissing and spitting out its core...
