Chapter 374 The Witch is Incredibly Effective
Everyone was asking for something, and they didn’t hide the excitement and desire on their faces.
Shen Wan remained silent. The closer he walked towards Old Lady Wang's house, the stronger the fishy smell became.
"Can you smell anything?"
Qi Chong sniffed hard and said, "What's that smell? I don't smell anything."
"Fishy smell." Chen Wan casually handed him a talisman, "Take it well, this thing is very powerful."
Qi Chong quickly put the amulet in his pocket as if it were a treasure.
"Fishy smell, it looks like a snake."
"Master Shen, how sure are you?"
Chen Wan was calm and composed: "Let's see."
At this time, the entrance of Wang Daqiang's house was crowded with people, all of whom came to ask questions because of his reputation.
Old Mrs. Wang’s sons stood at the door handing out signs and only let people in after their numbers were called.
Qi Chong looked around and asked, "Why can't I see Wang Daqiang?"
"Hey, are you two here to ask questions too? Pay the one hundred yuan registration fee first. If you don't show up when your number is called, you can still wait until the deadline."
Qi Chong had a good reason: "I am your eldest brother's friend, where is your eldest brother?"
Wang Er sneered and said, "It doesn't matter who you are friends with. If you want to see the witch, you have to pay. Otherwise, don't even think about going in."
Qi Chong gritted his teeth, took out two crumpled fifty-yuan bills from his pocket, and handed them to him with a painful look.
Wang Er stuffed a number into his hand: 44.
"Number 44, why does it feel unlucky?" Qi Chong muttered.
The person next to him whispered to him, "Is this your first time to see the witch? Don't talk nonsense, it's disrespectful to the witch, be careful or you'll be entangled in bad luck!"
Qi Chong felt goosebumps on his back because of what he said, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, have you been here before?"
"I've been here!" the man said proudly, "I'm here to fulfill a vow!"
"So, if you want to meet the witch, you have to be respectful and show your sincerity."
The man rubbed his fingers together.
Qi Chong understood what he meant: "How much does that cost?"
"When I came here last month, one question cost 1,000 yuan. Now, it seems the price has gone up, and one question costs 5,000 yuan."
"What? Five thousand yuan!!" Qi Chong shouted in shock.
Everyone looked at him with contempt in their eyes.
Qi Chong quickly apologized with a smile: "Ahem, what I mean is that the fortune teller is so effective, but she only charges 5,000 yuan, which is really good value for money!"
The man said unhappily, "I just finished talking to you and you're already yelling. You have no manners at all."
Qi Chong: “…”
He quietly retreated to Shen Wan's side and whispered, "Old Lady Wang is crazy because of poverty. Five thousand yuan for a question, why doesn't she just rob people?"
Shen Wan glanced at Old Lady Wang's three sons. Each of them had a big gold chain around their neck, which looked very valuable.
"It's only the 10th now. It's still early for our number. Let's go for a walk in the village first."
"Master Shen, did you see anything?" Qi Chong looked around, holding a special compass in his hand, "There's nothing wrong with the magnetic field here."
"You use it to catch ghosts." Shen Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I have a strange feeling. Whatever, let's take a look first."
The two began to wander around the village.
"Captain Qi, you are Captain Qi, right?" Village Chief Wang noticed Qi Chong and recognized him at a glance. He smiled and came over to greet him, "Captain Qi, why are you in our village?"
"Are you trying to capture Goddess Wang?"
Qi Chong laughed and said, "No way, I'm not working in the Ninth Bureau now."
"I just heard that there is an extremely effective witch in your village. I came here because of her reputation. Look, I have signed up."
He waved the number plate.
Village Chief Wang suddenly realized and laughed: "You scared me. I thought you were going to take Wang the witch away, but you can't. She is the lucky star of our Wangjia Village now."
Qi Chong: "I can see that your village has earned a lot of money this month, right?"
Village Chief Wang smiled and said, "Yes! Everyone is very happy. They earned as much as we did in a year in just one month!"
"By the way, Captain Qi, is this your girlfriend?"
Qi Chong smiled and said, "No, she is a writer friend of mine. She has been running out of inspiration recently and can't earn any royalties, so she asked me to bring her here to ask the fortune teller about her fortune and career."
Village Chief Wang said mysteriously, "You two have come to the right place. Goddess Wang knows everything. What she says is very effective. You just need to follow her instructions."
"Village chief, can you tell me about the witch's experience? I want to use it as material and write it into a novel in the future to promote your Wangjiazhuang."
When he heard that someone was helping to promote the project, Village Chief Wang smiled so hard that he couldn't stop and said it without thinking.
"Speaking of this old lady Wang, she lost her parents when she was young, and she grew up eating at hundreds of families in our Wangjiazhuang. She married an old man, but he died a few years later, leaving her with four children."
"Don't be fooled by how thin and small Old Lady Wang is. She raised four children by herself and found wives for them. But..."
"Just what?"
Village Chief Wang looked in the direction of Old Lady Wang's house with some fear, and said in a low voice: "It's just that her sons, except for the eldest son who is more filial, the other three sons are not good people."
"As the old saying goes, a son will never despise his mother's ugliness, and a dog will never despise his family's poverty. After the three sons of Old Lady Wang got married, they forgot about their mother and never supported her. If it weren't for Daqiang who has been taking care of her, Old Lady Wang would have starved to death long ago."
Qi Chong thought thoughtfully: "Wang Daqiang is filial."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have noticed something was wrong with me and rushed to find him.
"No matter how filial Wang Daqiang is, he can no longer take care of his mother. His daughter will go to college next year. A month ago, Wang Daqiang talked to his three brothers and wanted them to take turns to support their mother. He is going to work outside, but it is not for nothing that they work hard. He is willing to pay for her living expenses."
"Those three bastards refused to agree, and pushed Old Lady Wang around in the village committee, refusing to accept anyone."
"Look, Mrs. Wang was so angry that she fell to the ground and died on the spot."
"To be honest, this old lady Wang was not destined to die. She must have good fortune after surviving a disaster. She has been in the coffin for three days, and when the coffin was lifted, she came back to life. Don't you think it's miraculous?"
Shen Wan and Qi Chong laughed and agreed: "Amazing."
"Yes, Wang Daqiang heard that my mother was not dead, so he wanted to open the coffin to take a look, but those three bastards refused to open it no matter what. If he hadn't picked up a hoe and was about to beat them, I guess Old Lady Wang would have been buried alive."
"When they opened the coffin, they saw that Old Lady Wang's eyes were open, staring at them."
"The first thing she said was she wanted meat."
Shen Wan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Eat meat?"
Village Chief Wang nodded: "Yes, before everyone could react, Old Lady Wang climbed out of the coffin, grabbed a live chicken, tore its neck off and ate it. It was a terrifying scene!"
