Early the next morning.
After breakfast, the brother and sister went next door to play with Xiaohuzi.
Su Li gave some instructions and headed towards the end of the village.
At Carpenter Pei's house, she ordered two small desks and chairs, as well as an easel.
She plans to make some extra money by painting first.
There was an easel in Pei Ji's study, but it was too shabby and she was a little disgusted with it.
Carpenter Pei said that the easel was simple and could be made tomorrow. If she needed it urgently, he could ask his wife to deliver it to her tomorrow. The table would take three days to make and he would then send it to her home.
She happily agreed, paid the deposit and went home.
"Where are the people? Where did they go?"
"Mom, could it be that the evil spirit knew we brought a Taoist priest with us and hid away in fear?"
"There's something wrong with her!"
When I got home, before I even entered the door, I saw Zhang's mother and daughter talking loudly in the yard.
“Bang!”
Su Li pushed the door open, startling the people inside and making them turn around to look at her.
"Have you raised the money so quickly?" Next to Zhang stood a white-haired Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and pretending to be profound. She pretended not to see him.
The day before yesterday, Zhang said that she would raise the money for her. Of course, she knew that Zhang would not be so happy and would definitely cause trouble again.
"Daughter-in-law, you're back?" Zhang froze for a moment, pretending not to hear, put on a chrysanthemum smile, walked over and was about to pull her hand.
She didn't care at all when Su Li dodged her. "Daughter-in-law, this is Taoist Kongxu, whom I specially invited to exorcise the evil spirits for you. Taoist is very powerful and will definitely be able to remove the evil spirits from your body..."
"Master Kongxu?" Su Li looked at the white-haired Taoist priest with a curious look.
"Master, please take a look at my daughter-in-law. Is she possessed by an evil spirit?"
Taoist Kongxu looked profound as he came closer and looked at Su Li's face.
He frowned, looked puzzled, then suddenly realized something. After a while, he flicked his dust whisk and said seriously, "This female lay Buddhist has indeed been possessed by an evil spirit. If the evil spirit is not exorcised, I'm afraid... she won't live long..."
"See, see, I told you!" Pei Xiuli was both scared and excited. She wanted to know how that loser could suddenly become so powerful!
It turns out that I was really possessed by an evil spirit!
"Master! Is there any way to get rid of the evil spirits for my daughter-in-law?"
Zhang asked anxiously.
She didn't care whether that bitch was dead or alive. She was afraid that she would reveal her affairs and be forced to hand over the money.
After getting rid of the evil spirit, she would turn back into the useless person she used to be, and would still be at her mercy. Isn't that much better than her dying?
“I can, but…” Taoist Master Kongxu looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
He could see that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not on good terms with each other, and he guessed that the mother-in-law wanted to control the daughter-in-law who was rebelling against her.
"Master, please speak!" Zhang said nervously. This evil spirit is so powerful. Don't kill that bitch and then come to harm them...
"I'll tell you, Taoist Priest," Su Li said with a half-smile, "This evil spirit is extremely vicious. To exorcise it, it will consume half of your magic power, and you'll need a lot of supplements to replenish it. Therefore... the reward for exorcising this evil spirit is very high!"
“Ah, this… this…”
Taoist Master Kongxu was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.
There's a ghost!
There's a ghost!
How did this person know his dialogue?
Are you really possessed?
Didn’t you see it?
This person clearly looks like someone who is very rich and powerful, right?
Calm down! After all, he's a seasoned swindler... ahem... veteran, and he's been through all sorts of situations. This little girl has probably encountered the same people and heard the same things before.
Don’t panic, don’t panic!
"The laywoman is clever! Indeed..."
This really scared Pei Zhang's mother and daughter. This evil spirit was so powerful that it could predict what the Taoist priest would say next!
"Master! How much silver do you need to get rid of the evil spirit?" Zhang trembled.
"Since the laywoman is so caring towards her daughter-in-law, I will do a good deed today and only take half of your silver, five taels!"
"Five... five taels?" Zhang wanted to embezzle the silver her husband had given to Pei Ji's family for most of the year, which was only five taels.
She gritted her teeth and took out the silver. In order to avoid being threatened by the evil spirit, she paid five taels!
All we have to do is get rid of the evil spirit in that bitch Su Li's body and then ask her to return the money!
When it came time to hand over the silver, Zhang refused to let go. After a struggle between the two, Taoist Kongxu finally got the silver.
Zhang felt extremely painful.
"Then I will begin to perform a ritual to exorcise the evil spirits. Please ask all those who are not related to this courtyard to leave, so as not to be affected by the evil spirits and suffer bad luck from now on..."
"Yes, yes, yes! Please come in, Taoist priest!" Zhang hurried out of the yard with her two daughters, fearing that the evil spirit would infect them.
After Zhang's mother and daughter left, Taoist Master Kongxu said with a smile, "Although you are possessed by an evil spirit, you are a woman of great fortune and honor. You will surely become a noble and noble person in the future! I will exorcise the evil spirit for you, and you will surely have smooth sailing!"
The lady from the Pei family has the appearance of someone who will be very rich and powerful. He can't afford to offend her.
Su Li couldn't help but laugh: "You are really good at getting the best of both worlds, Li Xiu... Taoist Priest."
“You…how did you know…” Taoist Master Kongxu had a terrified expression as if he had seen a ghost.
Help!
Who can tell him who this evil person is?
This place belongs to the south, but he comes from the far north. He has never used his real name since he started to cheat and deceive people.
How could anyone in this remote mountain village have seen him or known him?
Have you really met someone with real skills?
"Who are you? How do you know my... identity?"
