Neither of the two people arguing noticed that Kuang Wu had been watching everything.
He could already see that the jade pendant was engraved with runes on both sides, indicating that the other party was a rune cultivator, several levels higher than the protective talisman he was wearing.
Such a good thing, given to an old man in the countryside, is a waste of nature's resources.
...
Before Hua Xiangyun had even left the village, Wu Chenxi was already walking towards her.
Some of the elderly people in the village still recognized her, and they were all very excited at the moment, wanting to go up and say hello but having to hold back.
I really don't know who invited this person here; he's a lifesaver for the village.
If this continues, everyone will be living in fear, and no one will have an easy time.
Insufficient sleep at night leaves people with no energy to work during the day, resulting in many not receiving their previous work points and feeling extremely tired.
If Granny Wu can resolve this anomaly in the village, they are willing to each contribute some money to properly thank her.
Captain Ren hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to go over and greet them.
"You've arrived." He was doing this for the village, Captain Ren silently encouraged himself. He was just greeting an acquaintance; he wasn't doing anything inappropriate...
Wu Chenxi had no impression of many people, after all, these people were just passersby in her life, and it was meaningless for her to remember them.
Hua Xiangyun was about to step forward when Wu Chenxi stopped her with a look. "I came here to exchange some things. I want to exchange some tickets for some grains."
Before Captain Ren could even speak, he was pushed to the back. "I have these things at home. Come on over to my house, have a seat, and have some tea."
“Old Mrs. Yang, you’ve gone too far. Speak properly, why are you pushing people around?” Xu Damei retorted. “Comrade Wu, I have not only grains at home, but also a bunch of dried vegetables and dried mushrooms. Let’s go take a look together. If you’re not satisfied, I’ll find you some more.”
She had to invite them to her home no matter what; she didn't want to be on edge again today.
Grandma Yang said, "Da Mei, I'm your elder, so stop calling me 'old woman' all the time. It makes your Xu family seem particularly ill-mannered."
Besides, I invited Comrade Wu first. If you have something to do, then let's wait until Comrade Wu and I have discussed it before we talk about it.”
A few days ago, her own boss personally saw that ghostly figure, and now she's so scared that she's in a daze. If it weren't for Comrade Wu coming over today, she would have personally gone to beg for help.
While they were still arguing, the others rushed forward to help them. Everyone wanted to resolve their troubles at home as soon as possible, otherwise they wouldn't be able to live a normal life.
Wu Chenxi cleared her throat. "I'll go with Captain Ren to his home to check. If there's anything else I need, I'll go back to your place to exchange it."
Captain Ren knew that arguing like this was pointless, so he straightened his face and said, "Alright, we can't delay the work in the fields. You all finish your work in the fields first, and I will take care of the rest."
He felt somewhat relieved. He glanced in the direction of the educated youth and thought to himself, "Thankfully, these kids aren't the troublemakers. Otherwise, even if I had the guts, I wouldn't have dared to invite the sorceress to the village."
However, this fortune teller really knew how to handle things. She knew to change her story when she entered the village. Even if someone came to investigate, she could just say that it was an exchange, not a transaction, and that she wasn't engaging in superstition. Who saw that?
Wu Chenxi left with Captain Ren, and Hua Xiangyun quickly followed.
“Let’s go do something too,” Wu Yanxin stopped the others. She was one of the few who knew the truth, and Hua Xiangyun hadn’t hidden it from her about living with the witch.
"What is Hua Xiangyun going there for? Is she going to exchange something too?" Li Mingli looked back curiously. Could Hua Xiangyun be going there just to join in the fun?
However, this old lady seems to be very popular with the villagers here; I wonder who she is...
"If you want to know, just ask her later." Li An figured something out; the old lady and Hua Xiangyun had exchanged glances just now, so they must know each other.
For some reason, the other party didn't expose him, so why should he be the bad guy?
When Wu Chenxi arrived in the village, she did not go directly to the brigade leader's house as previously stated, but instead had him lead her around the village.
"Comrade Wu, things are really getting out of hand in our village. We don't know if it's someone's doing it, but people keep seeing a dark shadow in the middle of the night." Captain Ren just wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible and restore the village to its former tranquility.
The villagers were terrified, and no one dared to look closely to see who was causing the trouble.
Although he believed in science, it didn't stop him from knowing that some things simply couldn't be explained by science.
Wu Chenxi walked around and pointed to one of the houses, asking, "Someone died here before."
Captain Ren's heart tightened. It seemed that this person was truly capable. "Yes, Xu Youzhi died suddenly overnight. Although he had no descendants, his nephews and children all saw him off in his final moments."
Although it was somewhat perfunctory, at least they fulfilled their final duty.
Could it really be as the villagers say, that Xu Youzhi was resentful and came out to cause trouble?
Wu Chenxi said, "He must have died a violent death."
Captain Xu said, "...He was so old, and his health had never been very good. Considering the time, it should be...it should be a natural death."
If he was truly murdered by someone else, it's impossible that no one would notice anything when they changed his funeral clothes.
Is there some inside story I don't know about, or did the Xu brothers betray their conscience and harm someone for the sake of their family fortune?
It is said that after Xu Youzhi died, the siblings locked themselves in their room and argued for several days, but no information was leaked about how much each of them would receive.
This is rather strange. If the amount wasn't so large, these people would have already made it public. Why would they hide it like this? Could it really be a case of murder for money?
Wu Chenxi circled the area before heading back to the village. "His lifespan has come to an end," indeed, he got his comeuppance for aiding and abetting evil.
"That's good." Captain Xu was still a little confused. Why did the master say that Xu Youzhi died a violent death? Was it a slip of the tongue?
Wu Chenxi followed Captain Ren to his home and picked some vegetables. She also left a talisman. "I just went around and didn't see any yin energy. It's possible that someone is playing tricks and scaring themselves."
Captain Ren liked to hear this answer. He said, "Why are there so many superstitious things?"
There had been trouble at the Ren residence before, but considering that everyone was eyeing that house, he didn't bother to investigate further.
Look at those former educated youth living there now, they're doing just fine. It's obviously a rumor.
The commotion in the village might be because the villagers have done something wrong and are scaring themselves.
After seeing the person off, Wu Chenxi saw Hua Xiangyun waiting not far away. She smiled and said, "Captain, you have things to do. I'll have this junior see me out of the village."
