Chapter 199 The Most Unlucky Little Brother
The village chief and his companions raised their eyebrows. With so many servants, this must be a wealthy family. The village chief's heart couldn't help but tighten. Wealthy families always had many rules, so it seemed they would have to go through a lot of trouble to get into the temple.
The woman saw the village chief and others walk in and quickly said politely.
"Greetings, everyone! Please have a seat!"
The village chief and his companions didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the old but clean bench next to them.
The woman glanced at them and continued.
"My surname is Gu, my given name is Yunrou, and my husband's surname is Chen. May I ask how you gentlemen address me?"
The village chief said directly,
"Hello, Madam Shen. We are refugees from the north. My name is Lin Dajiang, and I am their village chief."
This is Mu Chunping, this is Shen Junshan, and this is Ning Bao.
Ning Bao frowned when he heard the village chief use his nickname, and raised his voice.
"Hello Aunt Gu, my name is Mu Wanning. I am three years old, almost four years old. My nickname is Ningbao."
The woman looked up at Ning Bao, and instantly took a liking to the quirky and energetic little girl before her. She smiled at Ning Bao.
Hello Ningbao.
"Auntie, you smell sweet and fragrant. I like you."
"Hahaha! I like you too!" Gu Yunrou pointed to her son, who was sitting weakly and pale beside her.
“Ningbao, this little brother is my son. His name is Shen Muyang and he is eight years old.”
Ning Bao noticed the very handsome boy as soon as she entered the room. In fact, it wasn't just his good looks that caught Ning Bao's attention.
Rather, it was because there was something mysterious about him. Ning Bao suddenly jumped off the stool, walked up to Shen Muyang, and reached out her chubby little hand to pull a jade pendant from his neck.
"Auntie, why does my brother carry something with such heavy yin energy?"
Carrying this thing around is very bad for his health. Look at my brother's pale face with dark circles; it seems he's been wearing this jade pendant for quite some time now, and it's almost drained his life force.
"What? Ningbao, are you sure there's something wrong with this jade pendant?" Upon hearing Ningbao's words, Gu Yunrou immediately reached out and grabbed the jade pendant from her son's neck.
Ningbao did this on their first meeting. Mu Chunping was afraid that she would get angry and hurt his precious daughter, so he quickly stood up and hugged Ningbao.
"Mrs. Shen, I'm sorry, my Ningbao is quite naughty."
However, Ning Bao never speaks carelessly; if she says there's something wrong with the jade pendant, then there definitely is.
My wife may not know, but my son Ningbao once stayed at a Taoist temple and learned quite well. He is quite knowledgeable about metaphysics and ghosts.
If you trust her, you can ask her to help you analyze the situation; if not, just treat it as a child's joke.
After listening to her father's words, Ningbao looked at Gu Yunrou with a serious expression.
Gu Yunrou glanced at her son with heartache, then looked at Ningbao.
"Ningbao, good child, Auntie believes in you."
Can you tell your aunt about this jade pendant?
Ning Bao took the jade pendant from Gu Yunrou and rubbed it in her hand. As she rubbed it, the black mist on the jade pendant gradually disappeared.
"Auntie, this jade pendant seems to be worth a lot of silver. It's a fine piece of jade, but it got dirty before. However, Ningbao has cleaned it up, so it definitely won't affect the price it fetches."
Gu Yunrou took the jade pendant and was surprised to find that the jade pendant, which had been cold in her hand just moments before, was now warm, and even its color had changed.
What used to look like a piece of high-quality jadeite now looks like a very precious warm jade.
"Auntie, this jade pendant has been blessed by someone."
Gu Yunrou was stunned for a moment.
"Shouldn't something that's been blessed be able to ward off evil spirits? How could it have any yin energy?"
Ning Bao raised her eyebrows smugly.
“Good people can ward off evil by performing a ritual, but evil people will only attract evil.”
This jade pendant has been imbued with evil energy; wearing it for a long time will not only harm the wearer's health but also affect their lifespan and fortune.
Ning Bao turned to look at Shen Muyang.
"Young man, you've been wearing this jade pendant for at least three years now. Not only are you physically weak and your yang energy is severely depleted, but your luck is also extremely bad. You could say you're a complete jinx right now."
Shen Muyang: "…………"
He was truly unlucky. He would choke on his water, swallow his food, trip and fall while walking, or step in dog poop all over his feet, fall into the latrine, and even when he was just standing in the wild, birds would poop on his head...
Gu Yunrou was well aware of her son's situation, and she now firmly believed that the little girl in front of her was truly extraordinary. She had originally intended to ask Ningbao if she could find a solution.
But looking at the heavy snow outside, she knew this wasn't the time to talk about that; there were still hundreds of people standing in the snow outside…
