Judging from her expression, Ma Linghua knew everything; this troublesome girl was probably thinking about going to the banquet again.
Luo Ergou listened intently, his heart pounding with anxiety. He couldn't let anything happen to Granny Wang; after all, she had helped many people in the village and was a good person.
Although Luo Ergou was somewhat idle and prone to petty theft, he had never harmed anyone. Moreover, with Granny Wang in Eagle Village, it was safer.
"Um...I..."
Before Luo Ergou could finish speaking, Ma Linghua stopped him. Her eyes were cold and indifferent as she said, "I know what you want to say, but everyone has their own destiny. You expect me to save her? It's better for her to save herself. Those of us in this line of work are already going against the natural order. We should sweep the snow from our own doorstep and not worry about the frost on other people's roofs."
“That’s right. The reason our Ma family has survived this long is because we never meddle in other people’s business. That’s why we’ve lived so long.” Ma Hehua tried to flatter her, but was glared at by Ma Linghua.
If I don't meddle in other people's business, where will I get the money to send your brothers to school? If I don't meddle in other people's business, where will I get the money to buy land? If I don't meddle in other people's business, where will I find men to come to my door? If I don't meddle in other people's business, how will I feed those five money-losing brats?
However, she couldn't say it out loud; she was also a person who cared about her reputation.
Seeing that Luo Ergou was still unwilling to give up and wanted to speak again, Ma Hehua said, "You said your own life is in danger, yet you're worrying about this and that. You don't actually think we brought you back to protect you, do you?"
"Isn't that right?" Luo Ergou asked, stunned.
"Hahaha! You're so naive. Our Ma family never does anything without a benefit, right, Mother?" Ma Hehua asked her mother.
Ma Linghua; "………………"
Can't she be a little more low-key? Can't she at least pretend to be kind and generous? What a dim-witted daughter.
"Since we've come this far, I won't pretend anymore. Your yin energy is quite good, and that woman who cheated on me is incredibly nourishing for cultivators like us who use yin energy to cultivate our bodies." She licked her lips, her eyes full of excitement.
Huang Xiaoxiao felt incredibly embarrassed. What the hell is this woman who cheated on her husband with no name?
"Mother, let them rest in the Black Mountain for a while. After three days, we'll go and catch that water ghost, refine them together, and use them to nourish us." Ma Hehua was also excited.
All the spirits and ghosts in the Black Mountain heard it, but remained calm, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary. In contrast, Luo Ergou and Huang Xiaoxiao were so frightened that they trembled all over.
Luo Ergou said tremblingly, "Auntie, aren't you good people? You can't do such a wicked thing. What you're saying isn't true, is it?"
He seemed somewhat afraid, fearing that Ma Linghua's answer might still be affirmative.
But he was destined to be disappointed. Ma Linghua looked at him with an expression that said, as if he were an idiot, her face cold and indifferent.
That shattered the only illusion in his heart. Why? He couldn't understand.
"Seeing how defiant you are, I'll put your mind at ease and make sure you understand! Your auntie is a good person!"
“Our Ma family, by my generation, had almost reached a bottleneck, but what can I do? I’m smart! I broke through the Ma family’s bottleneck because I discovered that only the ruthless can stand to the end.” Her expression was like that of a demon, making Luo Ergou and Huang Xiaoxiao feel a chill in their hearts.
"Mom, why are you talking nonsense to them! They say on TV that villains die from talking too much. Let's go home and get some sleep! They can't escape anyway," Ma Hehua said with a yawn.
Ma Lihua nodded; she also wanted to sleep, she was too tired.
"Alright then! Let's go home."
The three members of the Ma family swaggered along the only road in the Black Mountain to Black Wind Village, completely unafraid that Luo Ergou and Huang Xiaoxiao would escape.
"You don't think you can fool the Ma family with your lies?"
"Brother! You're so naive."
"That's right! The Ma family never believes in ghosts."
"Even if it were true, they wouldn't believe it. Besides, you've delivered yourself right to their doorstep, so why would they let you go?"
"What an idiot."
The voices of the ghosts and spirits around him reached Luo Ergou's ears in waves. His face darkened with malice, and his fangs loomed between his teeth.
"Er...Er Gou, what should we do? They're not taking the bait at all."
Huang Xiaoxiao was terrified.
"Don't argue, things aren't over yet, we still have a chance."
Luo Ergou wouldn't admit defeat so easily; the yin energy emanating from the three women of the Ma family was truly delicious!
He licked his lips and gave a strange smile.
The surrounding ghosts and monsters; "………………"
Ha! Where does that confidence come from? What an idiot.
It has to be said that Luo Ergou's intelligence is truly worrying. In the old cemetery of Eagle Village, watching Ma Lihua take action, the scene and the scale of it were so impressive that even his great-grandmother performed a ritual to help her pass on to the afterlife. How could he possibly think of scheming against her?
Huang Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered. It seemed that Luo Ergou was about to clear his name, and she needed to find a new job.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The three members of the Ma family brought Luo Ergou to the pond in Eagle Village. In fact, Luo Ergou did not drown in the river, but in the pond. The water ghost had simply moved him to a different place.
"How can you see ghosts in broad daylight?" Ma Hehua muttered.
"You'll know if you can or not once you go down there." As soon as Ma Linghua finished speaking, she kicked Ma Hehua in the buttocks, and with a splash, Ma Hehua fell into the water.
Ma Lihua gave her grandma a thumbs up. Once her mother goes down there, she'll know whether there's something fishy going on or not.
Ma Hehua felt incredibly wronged. Did her mother never even greet her? She suspected that her mother no longer loved her.
Soon, a strong pulling force came from Ma Hehua's feet. She shouted excitedly, "Mom, he's pulling me again! I felt it! He's really strong!"
"What are you babbling about? He's pulling you, why don't you pull him up? Use the Ma family's ghost-catching skills on him!" Ma Linghua said with a twisted expression. This daughter of hers was truly unacceptable.
Yes! How could she not have thought of that?
So the water ghost in the river used all its strength to fight Ma Hehua.
The first time, Ma Hehua was not skilled enough and he pulled her down to drink a few mouthfuls of pond water, causing her to cough a few times.
The second time, I had a better grasp of the technique, but I was still left behind by a meter.
The third time, she kicked off her canvas shoes and stomped on the ghost's face. The pungent smell of her foot made the ghost pop its head out and then vomit repeatedly in the pond.
Several people watching by the pond; "………………"
"Damn it, you old hag, I'll make you pay!" As soon as Ma Hehua finished speaking, she grabbed the water ghost by the hair and pushed him into the pond.
Ma Lihua; "………………"
"Grandma, does my mother's massage of him work?" Ma Lihua asked curiously.
"Ha! What kind of effect is that? I wonder how much shit your mother has in her brain," Ma Linghua said through gritted teeth.
