Jiang Xuxu and his group were taken to the witch's home.
In some villages in southern China, there are often people similar to fortune-tellers. For matters in the village, from big things like asking for good luck during sacrifices to small things like what to name a newborn baby and which direction the stove faces, the villagers will ask each other first.
The identity of Baoshan as the "village guardian" was originally given to the villagers by the witch.
At this moment, a group of people suddenly came, obviously from a big city, and said they were looking for Baoshan. Of course, everyone had to ask the fortune teller.
The witch was also called Hua Po by the villagers. She was about seventy years old, with a hunched body and a mysterious look. She glanced at Jiang Xuxu and his group and asked,
"What are you looking for Baoshan for?"
Lu Nanxing knew that the villagers believed in this witch, so as a diplomatic representative, he immediately stepped forward.
"Mother-in-law, we want to ask him to lead the way for us. We are looking for someone."
She has a baby face and speaks in a natural and friendly manner.
The flower lady didn't look at her, but spoke with a profound attitude.
"Look for someone. Look for the director of the village office. If you have any problems, go to the government. Little girl, don't be superstitious."
Lu Nanxing: ...
She glanced at the Bagua mirror and the house-protecting amulets hanging outside the door of Hua Po's house and thought to herself, you seem to be more superstitious than me.
None of their tribe does this.
But he still smiled and said,
"The village director can't find anyone. The person who asked us to come here said that we can only find the village guards."
When the flower lady heard this, a deep look appeared on her wrinkled face. She muttered something, and then her expression turned stern.
"If the person you are looking for is not from the village, Baoshan can't help you. Village guards cannot leave the village. This is the rule."
Before Lu Nanxing could say anything else, Hua Po had already driven them away. When the villagers saw that Hua Po did not respond, they naturally made gestures to ask them to leave.
Fortunately, the director of the village office heard the news and brought people to the scene in time. He first scolded the villagers,
"What's wrong with you? Didn't they just help the village find someone? You are a guest from afar, so even if we can't come to an agreement, we should be polite and show the hospitality of our Huabei Village..."
The village director kept talking a lot, and the villagers were so annoyed by his nagging that they left one after another. However, before leaving, he warned the villagers not to target the village guards.
The village director welcomed the group to the village office and apologized.
"The young people in the village have all gone to work in big cities, and the villagers who remain are more old-fashioned. But it's not that they don't welcome outsiders, it's just that the mountain is a little different in this village."
Baoshan was picked up by villagers from the mountains. He was a fool when he was found. Because he was young, the villagers sent him to the welfare home in the town at first.
In the end, somehow, the person ran back by himself.
After going back and forth several times, the person stayed in the village for some unknown reason.
Everyone in the village looked down on the child at first. Only one or two families in the village occasionally gave him some food, but it was just enough to keep him from starving to death.
What made the villagers change their opinion of him was that one night, Baoshan suddenly started shouting in the village and ran around the village, waking up most of the villagers.
Many villagers were furious and went out to arrest the man. At this time, an earthquake suddenly occurred in the village.
The village director said,
“Huabei Village had not experienced an earthquake in decades, but that earthquake came suddenly and several houses in the village collapsed.
If Baoshan hadn’t shouted in the village and woke up most people, the villagers would still be asleep when the earthquake hit and wouldn’t have been able to run away in time.”
It was when that incident happened that the village witch said that Baoshan was the village guardian, and that with him in the village, the village would be able to avoid disaster and bring good luck.
In addition, after the earthquake, almost everyone in the village believed in the village guardian, and over the years, every family would send him a portion of delicious food.
Because the person was brought back from the mountains, they simply changed his name to Baoshan.
Later, even when people from other villages heard about the incident of Huabei Village guarding the villagers, they became much nicer to the crazy people in their own village.
After learning the origin of Baoshan from the director of the village office, Jiang Xuxu and his team also understood the importance the villagers attached to Baoshan.
But it is impossible to leave like this.
So they used the excuse of looking for someone in the village, and with the coordination of the village office director, they borrowed a house from a family in the village and lived there.
After seeing off the director of the village office, the few of them looked at each other. Lu Nanxing looked at Jiang Xuxu first.
"Xu Xu, what do you think?"
Jiang Xuxu said, "He can see Hu Lizhi's true form at a glance, and can sense earthquakes in advance. The village guard must be a real village guard."
Hu Lizhi was curious when she heard this.
"The village guards are real, is there anything fake in the village?"
Lu Nanxing immediately said, "I know, that flower lady is fake!"
Although the old man was talking in a mysterious way, she couldn't sense any spiritual power from him.
So it is most likely a scam.
Hu Lizhi suddenly understood what was going on.
"So she's a liar. I thought her spiritual power was too strong so I couldn't sense it."
After all, she is a half-demon with weaker powers. Normally, she cannot sense when a demon hides its powers.
Hu Lizhi is quite used to this kind of thing.
Jiang Xuxu just said,
"Some witches in the village do have real skills, but some are just doing it to make a living. As long as they don't use the opportunity to make money or use the magic water to kill people, the security bureau will not interfere."
After all, the existence of these people often represents the beliefs and aspirations of some people.
What's more, she didn't see any karma or karma from the other party.
