Proves She's Not a Sweeper
People are the same wherever they go. There are stupid people, smart people, bad people, and good people. But there is one thing in common: there are always more good people, especially in the countryside. Although there are few literate people, the majority are still simple and honest people. This is the case with the people in Hebian Village.
When Li Shi said that Su Zhi was not a sweeping star, although they felt that Li Shi was not as powerful as the old Taoist priest, they all wanted to know when they heard that he had evidence. After all, no one wanted to live in the same village with a sweeping star, even if she already lived at the easternmost end of the village.
"Shitou, you said Zi'an's wife is not a bad luck charm, and you have evidence, then show us the evidence!"
The person who was speaking was the head of Hebian Village, which was equivalent to the village chief. He was the highest-ranking person in the village, and could be said to be the only minor official here. In charge of such a village, he certainly hoped that his village would be peaceful and prosperous. Having such an unlucky star would have a bad influence on him. Not to mention that the heads of other villages would laugh at him, maybe the superiors would think that the feng shui of Hebian Village was not good, so the unlucky star was sent down. Then he would be in trouble.
The head of the village was also surnamed Li. He was a fairly fair person and was nice to Shen Zian, so he tolerated the existence of Su Zhi, who was sentenced to death. If it was someone else with bad intentions, even if he didn't burn her to death or drown her in a pond, he would most likely drive her out of the village.
"Yes! Yes! If you have evidence, show it!"
"If this Zi'an wife is not a bad luck, it will be a good thing for our Hebian Village!"
Some people said that everyone had the same idea, no one wanted to live in the same village with a jinx, even if they were far away, they would still feel uneasy. However, some people did not believe what Li Shi said, and they were all fooled by the old Taoist priest's fortune-telling skills. There were also people who were jealous of Shen Zian's good luck, who made Shen Zian so good at hunting that he could even hunt tigers now? He deserved to have a jinx wife!
"I think he might be bluffing! That old Taoist priest is really good at fortune-telling! How could he be wrong?!"
"Yes, yes! If it wasn't for the lucky star, why didn't you say it earlier?"
When Sanlang Shen and his brothers heard about the excitement, they ran over. Their eyes sparkled as they looked at the two tigers that were still scary even though they were dead, thinking how great it would be if they could kill them themselves. Shen Silang ran over and wanted to touch the tigers but he didn't dare to go forward, and his saliva was flowing out. Sanlang Shen was older and heard others say that his fourth uncle's wife was not a lucky star. He immediately got anxious. The old Taoist priest said that the unlucky fourth aunt was a curse on him! Regardless of whether she was a lucky star or not, she couldn't be allowed to turn over. If she turned over, she would have to go back to the Shen family again. He didn't want to be so close to her and be cursed!
"Auntie Si is a bad luck charm! Her face is so ugly! It will soon be exposed! She will stink in the summer! She must be a bad luck charm, the old god can't be wrong!"
Silang was almost thrown to the ground by his brother's pulling, and he also shouted loudly: "It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong!"
Sun was very happy when she heard this. She wanted to see how smart my two sons were. No wonder the old Taoist said that this was a destiny of great wealth and honor! Sun was so happy that she forgot that the old Taoist was just an actor they hired, and he was not a god-like Taoist at all.
When everyone heard Shen Silang shouting like that, they thought, yes, Zi'an's wife's disease is a serious illness. Her face is so ugly that even the doctors in the town can't cure her. People who get this disease must have done something wrong. They must be unlucky!
Dalang and Erlang were also in the crowd at this time. When they heard Sanlang and Silang say that, they frowned and pulled them aside. Sanlang and Silang also took the opportunity to hide. The look in Fourth Uncle's eyes just now was really scary. He was worthy of being the one who killed the tiger!
Li Shi thought that Brother Zi'an had a really bad fate. Although his parents and brothers were unreliable, at least they were not so arrogant. He coughed and began to speak.
"My fellow villagers, everyone says that Zi'an's wife is an unlucky star, and that encountering a tiger is a bad omen, but this tiger didn't hurt anyone, and we killed it! Think about it, how ferocious this tiger is, how powerful it would take to kill a tiger, and there were two tigers! No matter how powerful Zi'an is, he still needs luck to kill two tigers! His luck is so good, he was so blessed that he killed two tigers without any injury! If these two tigers were sold for a lot of money, and they became famous, how lucky would that be? How can it be said to be bad luck? So I say that it is not only that Su Zhi's sister-in-law cannot be said to have brought bad luck, but she has brought good fortune!"
After hearing this, everyone thought it made sense. They thought that was the case. Encountering a tiger was a bad thing, but killing it was a good thing! This tiger was so hard to kill, but it was killed so easily. This was something that only happened to lucky people!
Is it possible that Zi'an's wife is really a blessed person?
Some people already think so.
The village chief stroked his beard and nodded, agreeing with him.
Shen Zian and Li Shi heard everyone's discussion and saw the headman nodding. They were very happy and thought that this matter was going to work!
Shen Zian bowed to the people around him and said, "Fellow villagers, my wife is kind-hearted and intelligent. It is my blessing to marry such a woman. I don't believe she is a jinx. You all think she is a jinx because she has a serious disease, which is even more unbelievable. Let me tell you that my wife's illness has begun to get better, otherwise she would not have come up the mountain with me. I think she will be completely cured in two or three days."
"Is this true? He can't get better that quickly, right? We saw the old Taoist priest when he went to the Shen family. His face was unbearable to look at!"
Someone shouted in the crowd.
Li Shi testified, "My sister-in-law is indeed recovering, and she is recovering very quickly. She will be completely cured in two or three days. If you don't believe me, you will believe me after you see her in a few days."
Now most people believed it, thinking that it had only been a few days since Zi'an's wife's illness was cured. If she was a lucky charm, it would be impossible for her to recover so quickly from such a serious illness. Looking at the two big tigers, they all felt that Shen Zi'an's wife was not a lucky charm. But thinking about the old Taoist priest who looked like a god, they didn't know who to believe.
Sun hummed aside and said, "The Sweeper Star is also a god in the sky. It's not surprising that he recovered from his illness. Maybe he felt better because he absorbed the blessings of others."
Shen Zian glared at Sun and was about to speak when he was stopped by Li Shi.
Li Shi said to the crowd whose expressions had changed again, "I told you that my sister-in-law is not a bad luck charm. I have evidence! When we went up the mountain today, we not only encountered these two tigers, but also the holy beast!"
As soon as the word "holy beast" came out, the people in Hebian Village were stunned, and then they became noisy like boiling water. Even if they were just country folk, they knew what the holy beast was, because the holy beast was a wolf. In order to prevent them from offending the holy beast, the government would issue an order. The story of the holy beast would also be passed down from the older generation. Even a three-year-old child knew that the holy beast was a white wolf and should not be provoked! To them, the holy beast needed to be respected more than the gods in heaven, because this holy beast in this world was still a wolf that would bite people!
Li Zheng took a step forward excitedly, stroked his beard and asked: "Shitou, did you really encounter the holy beast?"
Li Shi nodded and said, "We saw a very big wolf, whose fur was almost as valuable as silver. My sister-in-law saved its two cubs, and it was very kind to me! My sister-in-law stood with them, and nothing happened to her. It even gave me a hundred-year-old ginseng."
The crowd was in an uproar again. Shen Zian looked at Li Shi and wondered how he had never realized that Brother Shi was so good at making up lies. However, this lie was brilliant!
