Looking at the anxious and frightened look of the man in the live broadcast, Lan Xi remained calm.
She could tell from the beginning that there was indeed something unclean around this man.
And the appearance of that thing is closely related to him!
Since Lan Xi accepted the other party's divination fee, he naturally had the obligation to help the person figure out the truth.
She didn't ask for the other party's birth date or horoscope, but just looked at his face and spoke directly.
"You live in a remote village, your family is poor, and the local customs are quite feudal."
Listening to the host's words, netizens couldn't help but start typing on their keyboards.
[They live on the edge of a mountain. This is what they just said. The host repeated it again. Did she think she figured it out herself?]
[As we all know, most country folks are feudal, and the host's statement is as good as nothing!]
[Why are you in such a hurry? The host hasn't finished speaking yet! ]
…
In the live broadcast room, Lan Xi was indeed still continuing.
"You are the only child in your family, and there are four people in your family..."
"No! There are only three people in my family!"
On the other side of the live broadcast, the man suddenly interrupted Lan Xi.
When netizens who were watching the live fortune-telling saw this, they refreshed the messages even faster!
[What's going on? Did the anchor make a mistake?]
[The anchor has always been very accurate in fortune-telling, but something went wrong today?]
[People make mistakes, horses stumble, the anchor can't always calculate accurately, right? ]
I've always heard that this anchor is very accurate in fortune-telling, but the first time I came to the live studio, I saw that the anchor was wrong. So, is the so-called accurate fortune-telling all hype?
[I still can't believe the anchor could have made a mistake...]
…
Lan Xi took note of all the discussions and questions raised by netizens.
Her expression was normal, and her eyes were fixed on the man on the live broadcast.
"There are four people in your family. Besides your parents, there are you and your wife."
"Maybe you haven't obtained a marriage certificate, but you've had a wedding banquet and a wedding ceremony in the village, so you're now part of my family."
Hearing Lan Xi's confident words, the man's eyes became vague.
And netizens finally stopped saying that the anchor is no longer good at fortune telling!
[Looking at this man's expression, it seems the host got it right!]
【We've already had a wedding banquet, so of course we're a family! 】
[He doesn't consider us family without a marriage certificate. This man is a bit heartless~! ]
[Not to mention not having a marriage certificate, some men still treat their wives as outsiders even if they have one!]
[I just saw this man asking for help and heard him talk about his family situation. I felt quite sympathetic towards him, but now, seeing how he treats his wife, I have no sympathy at all!]
…
Amidst the discussions among netizens, the man accepted the result calculated by the anchor with silence.
Lan Xi continued:
"The situation in your family this time was caused by your daughter-in-law."
Hearing the host's words, the man's eyes widened slightly, and then an expression of 'as expected' appeared on his face!
Then, his face was filled with anger as he cursed, "I knew it was that bitch!"
Seeing this, netizens started commenting.
[Just now I felt sorry for this man's wife because he didn't treat her as a family member. Now... if his wife really harmed his parents, then she really deserves to not be considered a family member!]
"That's not right! This man said at the beginning that the trouble in their family was caused by something dirty, but looking at his expression now, it seems that he had already guessed that it was his wife who did it? So, was it the dirty thing that did it, or his wife?"
Is there a possibility that his wife is that 'dirty thing'?
[Is his wife alive or dead?]
…
The truth of the matter soon began to unfold.
Lan Xi said, "Your wife has some health problems. Her parents are close relatives and married. Everything was normal when she was born. She became ill during her school years and often became dazed and talked to herself."
"She couldn't continue studying at school because of this, and her condition became increasingly apparent when she returned home."
"People in your village are superstitious. Some say that her soul is wandering around. As long as she gets married and has roots, she'll slowly get better."
"Because she's not normal, normal families don't want to marry her, but your family wants her. Because you're poor and can't afford the bride price, good girls don't want to marry into your family at all."
"After you got married, her condition did improve a little. She seemed to be more normal, but she still sometimes became dazed."
When Lan Xi said this, the man had a surprised expression on his face the whole time and listened quietly.
Judging from his reaction, netizens knew that the host was right about everything!
【Marriage between close relatives is really unacceptable! 】
[Her dazed state and monologues seem like schizophrenia.]
[It's schizophrenia! I know a couple who are married and their son has mental problems.]
Can getting married really cure schizophrenia?
[Of course not! But why did his wife's condition improve? ]
…
No one can answer some of the questions asked by netizens.
Lan Xi continued to speak.
"Not long after your wife married you, she became pregnant. However, the baby didn't come into being. When she was five or six months old, she became ill again and accidentally aborted the baby."
"Because of this incident, your family members have been treating your wife badly. Gradually, her condition has worsened due to her bad mood."
"At this time, your parents heard that there was a master who could treat her illness, so they invited the master over."
"That so-called expert said they have a fumigation therapy that can cure your wife."
When Lan Xi said this, the man on the live broadcast link looked grim and visibly panicked!
He even shouted to the live broadcast room, "Stop talking!"
"But if you don't continue, you won't be able to know the situation in your family and what caused it." Lan Xi replied in a faint voice.
The man fell silent with a complicated expression, and Lan Xi continued.
"The master asked you to prepare a large pot with various herbs boiling in it, and a wooden barrel placed on top of the pot."
"That day, your wife was wearing red clothes that were supposedly meant to ward off evil spirits. Your parents tied her up and stuffed her into a wooden barrel, leaving only her head exposed for steaming."
"As the fire under the pot was lit, the barrel became increasingly hot. Your wife could no longer bear it and began to cry for help."
"But your family all believes in the shaman who's performing the ritual. Your parents even told your wife to be patient."
"Many of you watched, but no one saved her. Eventually, her heart-wrenching cries died down, and only then did other villagers react and call the police for help."
"But when the police arrived, she was already dead."
"A living person was steamed to death before your eyes."
When Lan Xi finished speaking, the man lowered his head, not daring to look into Lan Xi's eyes, nor daring to look at the messages sent by netizens in the live broadcast room.
When netizens heard this, they were all shocked! (End of this chapter)
