Gu Zhou looked at her and explained, "It's not your father who wants to drink. It's the alcoholic who harms your father."
Ai Duo looked up in confusion after hearing this, and looked at Gu Zhou in confusion, her voice trembling, "What do you mean?"
Gu Zhou didn't say anything. He didn't see it all, so he could only let Qi Jing answer.
Qi Jing stood up and pulled Ai Duo out, pointing to the bamboo forest not far away and said, "There's a dead child buried in that forest. The dead baby is killing you and has replaced your father's luck. He drank and quarreled with his family, and he despised you because you are his daughters. These are not your father, but the father of the dead baby."
Aiduo's head suddenly buzzed. She shook her body, suddenly turned around, picked up a hoe from the corner behind the door, and strode towards the bamboo forest.
It was dark, but Aiduo didn't turn on the light and ran quickly towards the bamboo forest.
Gu Zhou pulled Qi Jing to follow, turned on the light on his phone to catch up, and pointed out the specific location to Ai Duo.
The bamboo forest was full of bamboo roots, but Aiduo was obviously angry at the moment. After a few hoe strikes, the bamboo roots were cut off, and Aiduo soon dug up something.
She waved a few more times and saw a wooden box buried in the soil.
Squatting down, Aido dug up the soil and took out the wooden box. The box was not big, but when it was opened, it smelled of rottenness.
The corpse of a baby lay quietly in the box. Aido was not afraid. She just stared at the corpse, her eyes red, and she burst into tears.
The suppressed crying was particularly obvious in the dark night. Gu Zhou hesitated and squatted forward. In the light of his mobile phone, he pulled out the white cloth under the corpse. There was a birth date written on it.
Qi Jing squatted beside Gu Zhou, watching Ai Duo staring at the white cloth on the ground with tears in her eyes, his body trembling slightly.
Qi Jing said, "This is the simplest fortune-changing technique, and it uses a drowned child. Your father must have been washed away by the flood. The mountain god saved him once, and has been using you to help your father suppress the fortune-changing technique ever since."
It's just that after you left, the mountain god lost his intermediary, and the situation got worse and worse. It was also because of your father's determination and perseverance that he was able to endure all these years."
After hearing what Qi Jing said, Ai Duo bit her lip and burst into tears. She took several deep breaths before speaking with a sob, "For so many years, we have blamed him. We blamed him for quarreling and making things difficult for our family. We blamed him for drinking and always offending people outside. We all felt that he had changed. He clearly loved us when he was a child and was very good to my mother.
I blame him for favoring boys over girls, and think he is making such a fuss at home because he doesn’t have a son. I…”
Aiduo gradually couldn't continue speaking. She was very tired and annoyed after every quarrel. She felt resentful towards Aiping and wondered why she was not a boy. Would there be no quarrels at home then?
She had thought of many possibilities, but never imagined it would be like this. While they were all blaming Ai Ping for quarreling at home, he was enduring the harm of these evil spells.
She has always been resentful of Ai Ping's changes, but she forgot that if she really favored boys over girls in that era, she would be strangled to death.
But she survived. She was an ordinary rural family raising three children, feeding them with the food grown on the land, sending them to school, never mistreating them in the slightest, and never forcing them to drop out of school.
She still remembers the hard work Ai Ping put in when he was working outside. He had no knowledge, no skills, only strength.
His hands were covered with calluses on the thick joints, his back was bent by heavy objects, he was afraid to go to the hospital when he was sick, and when he was injured he just dealt with it casually and left it alone.
Every penny saved by their parents is accumulated bit by bit through hard work and time to support their schooling and living.
How could I not love you?
How could she feel resentful?
Aiduo was crying, she was suppressing the sadness and self-blame for a long time, and she couldn't stop crying.
Qi Jing wanted to speak but was pulled back by Gu Zhou. It was better not to speak in this situation.
Qi Jing could only give up. After waiting quietly for a while, he watched Ai Duo recover and wipe away her tears. He said firmly, "I will make those who harm my father suffer twice as much!"
Gu Zhou was a little scared by this look. It was so decisive.
He made an OK gesture, and Qi Jing also stood up and pulled Ai Duo back a little, explaining to her, "If you break the spell, the other party will suffer double the backlash. No extra money will be charged."
Aiduo pursed her lips and said nothing. She stared at Gu Zhou's movements and saw him holding a spell card. He just casually threw it, and the spell card ignited and fell on the white cloth.
The flames quickly engulfed the white cloth and burned the birth date and eight characters on it clean.
Aiduo clenched her fists, but was interrupted by Gu Zhou before she could speak.
"Backlash is the best way. If you intend to harm them, you will be retaliated against once you are discovered. Even if you are not discovered, this is the evil you have sown, and you will definitely be punished in the future."
Gu Zhou stared at her seriously, "Do you want to make your family worry? Your father's illness needs time to heal. He needs someone to take care of him, and he needs blessings."
Aiduo was stunned, and immediately stopped thinking about it when she thought of her father.
Gu Zhou said no more, covered the wooden box and buried it again. Ai Duo did not stop him, but turned to look at the house not far above the bamboo forest. She already knew who had done the harm.
Qi Jing also followed her gaze and said, "Xu Zhiyi said your grandmother only had three sons, but I saw that your father had four brothers."
"Yes, we have the same father but different mothers. Grandma was remarried by Grandpa after his first wife died." Aiduo answered calmly, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes. "No need for magic, using normal means will not affect my father's recovery, right?"
Gu Zhou tilted his hoe, and he had a bad feeling. "What do you want to do?!"
Ai Duo wiped her face and said, "His daughter cheated on me, and I want his rich son-in-law to go to waste!"
Gu Zhou took a deep breath. This girl really wanted to take revenge on the spot, but the key point was that she looked very gentle and polite.
Gu Zhou couldn't accept this contrast and could only continue burying the soil.
After finishing the cleaning and coming out of the woods, Aiduo poured some hot water, washed her hands, and sat down again. Aiduo took out her phone and asked, "How much is it? I'll transfer it to you."
Gu Zhou looked at Qi Jing. It was not easy for him to make an offer here, so he decided to let Qi Jing decide for himself.
Qi Jing thought for a moment and said, "Five hundred, and I want something from you."
Aiduo looked up in confusion, "Five hundred?"
"It's five hundred, not five million. You heard it right." Gu Zhou explained. He also felt that five hundred was too low and no one would believe it if he told it to others.
As expected, Aiduo had an expression of disbelief on her face. "The fortune tellers in town all charge two hundred, and they're all just nonsense."
"You can add another five hundred and I'll calculate it for you."
Aiduo didn't hesitate, quickly scanned the code and transferred 10,000 yuan to Gu Zhou, then stretched out her hand.
Qi Jing twitched his ears when he heard the notification of the account arrival, then lowered his head to look at Ai Duo's palm, "I can't read palms."
"How do we calculate that?"
"The face can tell at a glance, there's no need to look at the palm." Gu Zhou put down his phone and asked Ai Duo, "Fortune telling to see the future, fortune telling to pray for wealth, luck, or marriage, which one do you want to see?"
