Liu Xin's face turned pale instantly. She instinctively grabbed the sleeves of the other two and said in a weak voice.
"In there, in there is actually the Goddess of Fertility!"
Is it really that scary? No wonder they used so many thick iron locks to secure it!
"Lady Xin, did you hear the commotion outside? Have any of the constables from the government come looking for us?"
Lin Anniang also asked in a low voice.
"He's followed us with that chubby county magistrate. Should I lure them away?" Liu Xin was a little scared.
"No need, the Mountain Goddess told us not to worry about these guys." Although Lin Anniang didn't understand, she didn't doubt it.
How could the Mountain Goddess be wrong? Even if she is wrong, it's the fault of those two guys outside!
Liu Xin's hands trembled slightly, but after looking around, she saw that her sister-in-law and Madam An were both very serious and were still trying their best. She suppressed her fear.
The two people outside were also talking.
Luo Yong wanted to climb over the wall and go inside, hiding behind the wooden coffin to investigate as before.
However, Magistrate Chen desperately pulled him back: "Are you crazy? Don't you really know what demons and evil spirits mean? Those guys aren't even afraid of knives. Once they lock onto their prey, no one can escape!"
"Even the previous emperor couldn't escape the pursuit of evil spirits. How do you think he died suddenly? Let's just listen from outside. Is it really necessary to go to such lengths?"
Magistrate Chen certainly had a moral compass, but it wasn't enough to risk his life! He had seen demons and monsters before and knew how terrifying they could be!
Luo Yong clenched his fists tightly: "This might be the best opportunity yet, I must find out the truth!"
As Luo Yong slipped inside, County Magistrate Chen clapped his hands suddenly.
"You brainless idiot! So what if it's the best opportunity? Do you even think you'll make it back alive?"
"You, you wait here, I'll go call reinforcements!"
County Magistrate Chen made a swift escape.
However, he stopped halfway through the run.
Magistrate Chen vaguely heard the commotion. He looked in the direction of the mansion, then at the crowds of people coming and going, and finally stomped his foot in anger.
"I must have owed you something in my past life!" He secretly took out a yellow talisman from his pocket and then turned it back.
Magistrate Chen gritted his teeth, found a large rock behind the house, used it as a stepping stone, and quickly climbed up.
However, after climbing up, he was dumbfounded.
Because there were also people hiding behind the triangular slope opposite, and they were three women.
The two people looked at each other, their eyes widening in surprise.
“Madam An, this is Magistrate Chen,” Liu Xin whispered.
Lin Anniang thought for a moment and then decisively said, "Don't worry about him. The officials certainly don't want to be discovered by Granny Shi right now."
