Spells are difficult to detect with instruments and cannot be reflected in pulse; they only slowly erode the life force of the person being targeted. Therefore, they will also manifest in facial features and physical posture.
There are many kinds of spells, but those passed down in the mortal world are very simple and superficial. Most of them involve smearing the spell with the blood of the person casting the spell on talisman paper, burning it into ashes and putting it in dolls, sachets, or sewing it into clothing and bedding.
Alternatively, they might use corpse oil or vengeful bones as a catalyst to attract filthy, devouring energy, chant incantations, and then seal it within a medium!
Alternatively, it could be a spell cast using objects with the power to attract negative energy, such as mirrors, ancient trees, or umbrellas...
Although Ke Meiyu could not determine what kind of curse was inside Dong Ermai, she was able to inscribe the life-giving talisman that the filthy devouring energy loved most, draw it far out of the body, and then add an isolation shield talisman.
Once the foul air that has no power is exposed to sunlight and there is no host to provide it with life, it will naturally dissipate into the world.
After clearing away the impurities, Ke Meiyu used her divine sense to cleanse Dong Ermai's body, replenishing the life force he had lost, and then removed the spirit-gathering array before snapping her fingers.
Dong Ermai slowly opened his eyes and said apologetically, "Comrade Xiao Ke, did I just fall asleep?"
Ke Meiyu was so hungry that she had already started munching on a biscuit. "Um, sister-in-law, you," she paused, guessing based on the size of the gas mass, "before and after your wedding, did you receive any gifts or anything special from unfamiliar people?"
Dong Ermai was taken aback, then frowned and thought for a moment. “I haven’t received any gifts, but,” she said softly, “my mother saw that the women who got married at the same time as me got pregnant in just one or two months, so she was a little anxious and secretly asked for a doll for me, saying that it could attract children and was very effective.”
“I was afraid of bringing trouble to my father-in-law, so I secretly burned it. Does this count?”
Ke Meiyu nodded. "Sister-in-law, you must have offended a villain, or rather, the Li family has offended a villain. They sent someone to find a sorcerer to seal a curse that would kill off a child inside the doll."
"The Curse of Childlessness requires hair from your sister-in-law's body. Only if you touch it will the curse be triggered. Not only will your sister-in-law be unable to conceive, but her life force will also be devoured by the filth, and she will not live past forty!"
Dong Ermai's face was pale. She gripped the blankets tightly and stared blankly at Ke Meiyu.
"Sister-in-law, it's alright now. I've already lifted the curse on you. The person who cast the curse will definitely suffer a backlash, which is a small punishment," Ke Meiyu said quickly. "From now on, you and Brother Li can have as many children as you want!"
"Maybe that sorcerer who hindered your chances of having children before has come back to haunt you, making you have two or three children at once."
"Really?" Dong Ermai looked down at her stomach in disbelief. "I can have a baby?"
She clearly felt a chill in her stomach, but couldn't find anything wrong with it. Yet, she felt an unprecedented comfort and warmth.
"Why don't you try it later?" Ke Meiyu chuckled as she finished the last bite of the cookie.
She pulled out a stack of bright yellow mahjong tile-sized brocade pouches with a rope and embroidered with red peace symbols from her pocket.
She bought these wholesale from the system store. They contained homemade purification and good fortune talismans, which not only prevented impurities from entering the body, but also refreshed the mind, invigorated the spleen, and slightly boosted luck.
Although the results may not be obvious, at least the seemingly sure thing won't be disrupted by someone else. Even if there are problems, it's more likely that good things come with difficulties.
Each member of their family received one.
"This is a gift for your family. I have fumigated the small bag with medicine. It is good for your health to carry it with you."
"Thank you," Dong Ermai said, still somewhat dazed.
It felt like I had a wonderful dream.
Ke Meiyu didn't stay long, but when she left, Li Guosheng pulled her car and put three boxes of fruit inside.
"This is called reciprocity, Comrade Xiao Ke. If you don't accept it, then we won't dare to take the mountain goods you sent. Otherwise, if people see it, there will be gossip."
Ke Meiyu nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll have my brother go to the Qianzhuang Supply and Marketing Cooperative later and bring some goodies for Sister Meizi. We live nearby!"
As soon as they left, Li Guosheng quickly grabbed Dong Ermai's hand and asked, "Ermai, what did Comrade Xiao Ke say?"
Dong Ermai's eyes still held a hint of confusion. "Comrade Xiao Ke said that I can't have children not because of any physical problem, but because I've been cursed with infertility."
"She said I'll be able to have children in the future..."
Li Guosheng was also stunned. "A curse? Are there really curses in this world?"
"Probably. I didn't even tell you. When I first got married, my mother prayed for a baby for me. But Comrade Xiao Ke managed to find out about this. And just now, I don't know how I fell asleep in bed, but when I woke up, my stomach felt especially warm and comfortable!"
Dong Ermai became more and more excited as he spoke, "I think this time it might actually work!"
Li Guosheng was also somewhat surprised and delighted. He looked at her with burning eyes and asked in a low voice, "Then, did Comrade Xiao Ke mention any precautions?"
Dong Ermai blushed and shook her head, "No..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt dizzy and the next second the man picked her up and carried her upstairs.
"Since Mom and Dad haven't gotten off work yet, shall we give it a try?"
Ke Yuanda pedaled his bike back, staring at the three boxes that were almost completely obscuring his vision. "Girl, is this really a bad idea?"
"It's like we came here for their fruit."
Ke Meiyu laughed and said, "What's wrong with it? Are wild boar sausages worthless? They can't even afford to eat them if they want to."
"Brother, after you take me back later, go to the Qianzhuang Supply and Marketing Cooperative and bring some food to Sister Meizi."
