Everyone stared at the two iron knives that Li Jin had thrown into the pot, puzzled.
However, Li Jin immediately cleared things up for everyone, "I heard from an expert that to deal with the curse, you just need to find the cursed object and fry it in hot oil to break the curse!"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
The reason something is terrifying is simply because it is invincible.
Just like the divination technique, people's fear of it stems from its lack of a solution.
Now, Li Jin has provided a solution!
Of course, some people may doubt the effectiveness of this method.
However, as long as someone believes it, the magic is broken.
This is the power of the human heart.
Looking at the whispering crowd, Li Jin added, "This method can not only break the spell, but also bring back the retribution for casting the spell upon those with wicked intentions."
He glanced at Liu Dagai casually, "It is said that the more vicious the curse, the greater the retribution."
Someone in the crowd shouted, "What kind of retribution could there be?"
Li Jin pointed to the iron knife in the oil pot and said loudly, "For example, if someone puts these two knives in someone's new house, it's just to curse the homeowner to be childless and die a horrible death. Now that I've broken this curse, it means that the person who cast the curse will be childless and die a horrible death."
The crowd erupted in cheers again!
"See? I told you there was something going on here!"
"It's true! I heard that Captain Li's second son and eldest daughter are building new houses! They must have been cursed!"
Who played it?
"You're so stupid. If it were someone else, why would they go to all that trouble to come to Liu Dagai's house?"
"You mean Liu Dagai did it?"
"No doubt about it, the two families are enemies. If Liu Dagai curses Li Xiangdong to death, then all the family property will belong to his son-in-law!"
This person has a rich imagination; one could say he hit the nail on the head.
"Then tell me, weren't the scissors in the landlord Liu's house also altered by Liu Da?"
"How could that be? Liu Dagai wasn't even born yet at that time! However, it's possible that he was born to his father or grandfather."
The crowd was noisy, but Liu Dagai and Liu Dage were struck dumb!
There's no other reason; others might have an inexplicable fear of spells like the "Suppression of Evil" or "Suppression of Nightmares." But the Liu brothers genuinely believed in them!
Back then, Liu the landlord and their grandfather were cousins. Despite their close relationship, their grandfather couldn't even borrow some grain from Liu the landlord.
The grandfather of the Liu brothers did odd jobs and short-term work everywhere. He would carry coffins to earn some money and build houses to make a living.
Later, he learned a trick from a carpenter, and when Liu the landlord was building his house, he used two pairs of scissors.
At the time, he thought he would prevent the only son of the landlord Liu family from having children, since his family had many children and were most closely related to the landlord Liu family by blood.
If one of them is adopted, wouldn't all of Liu the landlord's house and land become his?
Unexpectedly, Liu the landlord was also very stubborn. He would rather give away all his wealth to marry nine wives to his son than mention the matter of adoption.
Of course, these things were told to them by Liu Dagai's father. His idea was that this curse was quite effective, so that if anyone bullied his eldest son in the future, his sons would have the power to fight back.
Whether it was psychological or not, Liu Dagai felt a gust of cold wind sweep over him, and he felt a chill down his spine.
Just then, someone ran through the crowd, shouting, "Your Gou Dan'er and Shuang Liang were playing in the graveyard when they fell off a grave and broke their heads!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Dagai and Liu Dage felt dizzy and almost fainted!
The previously buzzing crowd fell silent. They exchanged glances, thinking, "Oh no, karma's coming!"
Seeing the swaying Liu Dagai and Liu Dage, Li Jin laughed heartily, "Of course, these are all feudal superstitions. We Chinese don't believe in superstitions. I'm here today mainly to dispel everyone's awe of feudal superstitions! I hope everyone will talk about science from now on!"
That's blatant lying!
Li Jin, you deep-fried double knives in a big iron pot, and Liu's son immediately got into trouble. You still dare to tell us to talk about science?
Those who understand will know that Li Jin doesn't want to give others anything to talk about, but those who are confused will be even more confused. Which one is true?
Li Jin led his men away in a grand procession. Before leaving, he threw the two swords in front of Liu Dagai's brothers and poured oil in their yard.
...
Li Xiangdong was writing something at his desk inside when he heard the noise outside the door and went out to greet them.
"nailed it?"
Li Jin sat down in a chair, took a sip of water, and said, "It's done."
Li Xiangchao followed in, laughing, "Sixth Uncle had just finished talking about retribution when those two brats fell off their graves. It's truly gratifying! I think now no one doubts the method of breaking the curse."
Most importantly, it has a deterrent effect on the Liu family, achieving twice the result with half the effort.
Li Xiangdong chuckled, "What a coincidence!"
Li Jin asked, "You didn't have someone do it?"
He thought it was Li Xiangdong who arranged it!
Li Xiangdong shook his head. He had been preoccupied with the letter these past few days and hadn't actually planned this.
Inside the room, Li Jiabao and Li Ping exchanged a glance, covered their mouths and chuckled, then gave each other a high five.
After Li Xiangchao and the others left, only the Li family remained in the house.
Li Jin was still a little worried. "How did you and Secretary Liu discuss it?"
"There is a lot of debate about Secretary Liu right now. Some say he is going back to the old ways, while others say he is determined to innovate."
When Liu Donglai took office in Huichuan, his reforms to disaster relief even made it into the internal reports, sparking a nationwide discussion.
Factory Director Yan and Huang Guimei were very worried, but Liu Donglai and Li Xiangdong felt that as long as there was a dispute, there was still a glimmer of hope.
Imagine if this had happened a few years ago, there wouldn't have been any controversy.
The existence of controversy means that there is now a force that wants to make a change.
Now, in the entire country of China, apart from Li Xiangdong, no one knows which force will emerge victorious.
Li Xiangdong spent three days carefully crafting a two-thousand-word letter.
He first showed it to Liu Dong, who looked at it for a full hour. "Don't send it yet, I need to think about it some more."
"It's best not to miss the wheat harvest."
This year, the entire Huichuan County was planted with Bainong wheat, and the weather was also favorable. Now, wherever you go, you see a vast expanse of golden, thick, rolling wheat fields.
In 1977, a bumper harvest of summer grain in Huichuan was already foreseeable.
Secretary Liu Junbo said, "Should we add some data?"
The most convincing data are the actual figures on grain production, per capita income and expenditure, and various agricultural and sideline products before and after Liu Donglai took office in Huichuan.
Factory Director Yan also thought it was a good idea.
Li Xiangdong shook his head. "No."
