"What's the matter?"
“…”
After hearing her words, Taoist Kongxu tutted his words and said, “Your mother-in-law is no match for you!”
"Stop! She's just my husband's stepmother, not my real mother-in-law."
"It's not impossible to help you, but..."
Su Li took out a piece of silver: "One tael."
"Okay, I'm leaving now!"
After putting the silver close to his body, Taoist Kongxu grabbed a handful of dirt and smeared it on his face. He then combed his meticulously combed hair into a messy bun. Finally, he turned around in a casual manner and walked out of the yard.
Su Li was stunned. Is this Taoist priest also an acting genius?
"Master Dao! What's wrong with you?"
Outside the door, Pei Zhang's mother, daughter and three others were waiting anxiously from a distance. They were shocked to see Taoist Kongxu staggering out in a disheveled state.
"Oh, what a powerful evil spirit! I almost couldn't escape..."
"What?" Zhang was shocked. "Master, has the evil spirit been eliminated?"
Taoist Master Kongxu shook his head: "That evil spirit is too powerful. I can't do anything to it with my magical power..."
"What should we do? Taoist Priest, is there no other way?"
Zhang was so scared that she was at a loss. She and her daughter had come into contact with the evil spirit several times. Would she be infected by it?
Being interrupted, Taoist Kongxu resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "Don't panic, female disciple. Although I can't kill the evil spirit directly, I took the opportunity to cast a spell on your daughter-in-law during the fight."
"Ahem!" he continued, "I'll bury talismans around this courtyard later. In two months, the evil spirit will surely be wiped out!"
"That's great, that's great!" Zhang finally felt relieved. It didn't matter if it took a little longer, as long as the evil spirit could be killed.
"But there's one thing to note..."
"Master, please speak."
"That evil spirit loves quietness. The reason it chose to commit evil in Taohua Village is because it's remote and quiet. It's good for you to know about this, but you must not make it public. If everyone knows about it, it will cause panic and anger the evil spirit. If the evil spirit then kills people, even if my master comes, there will be nothing that can be done to stop it..."
"We've remembered it, we've all remembered it. We won't tell anyone," Zhang said, looking at her two daughters. "Have you remembered what the Taoist priest said?"
"Mom, we remember..."
Pei Xiuli was also scared. Pei Xiuluo was not very brave to begin with, and she was scared to death this time.
"Alright, I'm going to cast a spell, so be quiet."
"puff!"
After chanting some incantations and performing some rituals, Taoist Kongxu took the opportunity to stuff a chicken blood bag into his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood in front of the mother, daughter and two others.
The three of them were so frightened that they believed in evil spirits even more.
"Master, are you okay?"
Taoist Master Kongxu pretended to be out of breath and said, "I am fine. I have cast the spell. In just two months, the evil spirit will be eliminated. Laywoman, don't worry. However, I have been severely injured in dealing with the evil spirit. I must return to the temple to practice in peace. I will take my leave now."
"Thank you for your hard work, Taoist! Take care, Taoist..."
Su Li in the yard felt much more at ease after seeing that the effect had been achieved.
She was busy making money and was too tired to deal with them. Since they had called a Taoist priest to exorcise the evil spirit for her, she might as well take advantage of the situation and make them afraid of her.
Thinking of this, she swaggered out of the yard and called out to Zhang's mother and daughter who were about to leave.
"Give me the silver!"
Zhang took a few steps back in fear: "Didn't we agree on three days? Tomorrow, I'll give it to you tomorrow."
She endured it and waited for two months until the evil spirit was eliminated, then she would see how she would deal with her!
"If I don't see the silver tomorrow, I will go to my father-in-law's house and ask for it myself..."
After saying that, he ignored them and went to Su Xiaocui's house.
After taking the two children home, it was almost noon, and Su Li went into the kitchen to make lunch.
In ancient times when there were no refrigerators and the weather was not very cold, the braised duck and braised pork left over from yesterday had already gone bad.
Su Li felt a little pain in her heart. It was all hard-earned money. When she made enough money to live in a big house in the future, she would definitely build an ice cellar!
Half an hour later, a dish of fried bacon with garlic sprouts, steamed eggs and stir-fried vegetables is ready.
Amidst the praises of the two little ones, the mother and her two children had a hearty meal.
After washing the dishes, Su Li moved the broken easel from the study to the yard. The new easel would not be completed until tomorrow, so he had to make do with it for now.
"Mom, what are you doing?" The two siblings followed her in and out, looking like curious babies.
"Portrait, can I draw your portrait?"
"Portrait? Is it a portrait of us?" Pei Zhao was curious.
"Hmm!" Su Li thought for a moment, "Let's go to the back mountain... and wait!"
"mother?"
"Go change clothes first..." The autumn clothes are not thick, and the new clothes washed last night are now dry.
The two little guys were so happy after putting on new clothes.
"Mom, this dress is so beautiful, so soft, and so comfortable to wear!"
Pei Chuer was so happy that her eyes were curved with smiles. She had never worn such beautiful and soft clothes before, and they were her favorite pink and white color. Of course, she chose this color herself in the clothing store.
Pei Zhao's clothes were dark green, which he had picked out himself. He hugged his mother and said softly, "Mom, you're so kind! I love you the most, hehe!"
Su Li patted the heads of the two little guys: "Let's go and draw..."
The back mountain is a small hill, not very high, and is planted with peach trees. These peach trees belong to Su Xiaocui's family. Because it is autumn now, the peach branches are bare.
But it has a certain beauty to it.
Su Li asked the two little ones to pick a peach tree they liked.
"Mom, I like this one!" Pei Zhao excitedly said loudly.
