"Drink! Ptooey!" With a little saliva on her lips, Ma Hehua counted the money quickly, holding it between her fingers.
“1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9…………18.” He counted once, then counted again, and then took out a small flashlight from his bag and looked at the bills one by one.
Little Bean; "……………………"
Haha! You're really well-equipped. Why don't you get a money counter?
Their serious demeanor and professional money verification skills are almost on par with professionals.
"Hmm! Not bad, 1800 yuan." Ma Hehua hadn't even warmed her hands when she saw her mother quietly watching her.
Ma Hehua; "……………………"
"Hehe...Mom, here! 1800 yuan, not a penny less, it's all real." As she spoke, her eyes were still fixed on the money, and she handed the money to her mother.
"Hmm!" Ma Linghua calmly accepted the money, then asked Xiaodouzi, "Are there still those zombies at Burial Cliff?"
"hold head high!"
How many?
“There are three of them, all of whom have been tied up by the people in our village. They haven’t been around for long,” Xiaodouzi said, distressed.
"Okay! I understand. Don't worry, I'll handle this matter perfectly for you." He said this while packing the money.
Ma Hehua was incredibly envious!
Yunzhi lowered her head and touched the bells among the silver ornaments around her neck.
She longed to go out and see the world; her eyes were full of yearning. While making dinner, she watched Ma Lihua listen to music on her Genius Watch and felt a pang of envy.
"Dinner's ready."
Yunzhi called them to eat. This time the food was normal, and the three of them ate very well. Ma Linghua ate five bowls, Ma Hehua ate six bowls, and Ma Lihua ate four bowls.
Xiaodouzi ate... half a bowl, and Yunzhi ate... an empty bowl.
"Grandma, you have quite an appetite!" Little Bean said through gritted teeth, a gentle smile on his face.
"Hey! It's just so-so!" Ma Linghua lay on the stool, savoring the taste of the cured meat. Oh my god! It was so delicious, even better than Zhongguo's.
After eating their fill, they felt sleepy. "Little Bean, wake us up at nine o'clock!" The group stood up and went into the room Little Bean had arranged.
However, Ma Lihua did not sleep. Instead, she carried the ginseng water out of the room. It was already dark. Looking at the dim candlelight in Yunzhi's room, she thought for a moment and went up to knock on the door.
"Who?" Yunzhi asked somewhat coldly.
"It's me, Pear Blossom."
"Squeak!"
The door was opened quickly, and Yunzhi carefully welcomed the beautiful and delicate Ma Lihua into the room.
Looking around Yunzhi's room, Ma Lihua looked her over, and Yunzhi felt a little nervous.
"Are you a witch doctor?" Ma Lihua asked curiously.
Yunzhi's face stiffened and turned pale. She lowered her head and remained silent.
Gu Po possesses the ability to create and perform Gu magic, an ancient form of witchcraft that involves using poisonous insects, spells, and other techniques to influence or control a person's behavior and health.
Therefore, in the Miao region, witch doctors are both respected and despised, and their later years are destined to be lonely and miserable.
Gu witches usually have special physical characteristics, such as defective eyes or special mouth features. Sometimes their appearance may be very attractive, but their personality and behavior are different from ordinary people.
Their homes are usually kept clean because they need to raise Gu, and there are many kinds of Gu, such as toad Gu, ant Gu, water Gu, sparrow Gu, centipede Gu, love Gu, etc.
In western Hunan, witch doctors are highly ostracized because they not only use love curses to control people's emotions, but also possess many secrets of witchcraft, allowing them to cast curses on others at will.
People afflicted by the Gu poison may experience symptoms such as persistent high fever, abdominal swelling, paleness, dizziness, and tinnitus.
However, the conditions for becoming a Gu Po are very strict. One of the conditions is that one must have the legitimate bloodline of Jiuli.
Yunzhi was destined to be a Gu witch from birth. Her mother was of pure blood but not a Gu witch. After giving birth to her, because of her identity, she was raised in the old mountain village.
The Gu master is amazing; she has been passed down her skills since childhood. Yunzhi learned many Gu techniques without being taught.
She was raised by Xiaodouzi, who never married. After his seventh uncle died, he simply took Yunzhi and lived in the village. He stopped leaving the village and instead began to enjoy his retirement.
Due to limited resources, Yunzhi had attended school, but not junior high. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but she couldn't afford the expensive tuition. Her mother and father didn't care about her and wouldn't pay for her schooling.
What's more, her mother had given birth to a younger brother for her and had long forgotten about her.
Grandpa Xiaodouzi couldn't afford to send her to school, but Yunzhi was a sensible person. She planned to take care of Grandpa Xiaodouzi until he died and just live like this in the village forever.
Looking at Yunzhi's gloomy and depressed expression, Ma Lihua was puzzled.
"If you're so capable, why should you bow your head?"
Yunzhi suddenly looked up at her, "You... what did you say?" Her voice was choked with emotion.
“The witch doctor is very powerful, and you’re not bad at all!” Ma Lihua said earnestly.
"Thank you... thank you for your compliment." Yunzhi was somewhat emotionally overwhelmed. Every time she went out, she would be gossiped about by the village children and adults, and she had heard these vicious words for more than ten years.
"Do you raise a lot of insects?" Ma Lihua asked her.
"Many." Yunzhi said with some pride, then fell silent for a moment.
"There's no point in having more. I'm already lucky to have them by my side in this life." Yunzhi thought these insects were much cuter than people.
