Chapter 23: Departure to Xinghua Village
"How could I forget Xiao He!"
She made another fortune-telling.
Come to think of it, the Qijiu Fortune Changing Formation and Xiaohe were both given to Hu Ziqian by the man in black robe.
Xiao He is of course also part of their plan.
Take her with you when you go to Xinghua Village.
The next morning
Jiang Chu first went to the pond to pick up Xiao He. Xiao He had been staying in the pond for the past few days and was about to grow mushrooms.
"Master, you are finally here. I am so bored."
Jiang Chu took out a yellow talisman and stuck it on her body: "This is a spiritual nourishment talisman, it can warm your soul. This is my compensation to you."
The moment the yellow paper touched the soul, Xiao He's soul became much more solid.
She happily circled around Jiang Chu: "Ah, thank you, Master. I want to be your ghost for the rest of my life."
Jiang Chu just let her go, since no one could see her anyway.
According to the address given by the Mu family, Jiang Chu took a two-hour drive and then walked for two hours.
After crossing a mountain, the view suddenly opened up and in the valley not far away stood rows of identical small houses.
Although this was the first time Jiang Chu had seen this formation, all formations involved the circulation of spiritual power, and Jiang Chu quickly found the center of the formation.
Jiang Chu also felt the tracking symbol she had placed on Li Zhao yesterday (the nanny in Chapter 8 of The Guide).
After finding out about Xinghua Village from Sun Qingyue, she had forgotten about this matter.
In order to avoid being recognized, Jiang Chu used a disguise talisman to change his appearance.
The originally bright and delicate facial features became dull, and the color of the clothes faded and became gray.
Jiang Chu hunched his back slightly, looking timid.
At first glance, he is just an ordinary villager with a pretty face.
Xiao He looked at the familiar scene in front of her, and scarlet memories came flooding back.
The ghost energy around him got out of control again.
"No, no, don't kill him!"
"Ah, why are you doing this to me?!"
Jiang Chu quickly calmed her down, and as time went by, Xiao He finally calmed down.
This time the ghost energy's counterattack was more severe than before. It seemed that she had found the right place.
The ghost energy will only be strengthened when approaching the place where the ghost died.
It’s not time to alert the enemy yet, so Jiang Chu put Xiao He into the soul-nourishing talisman and went down the mountain to prepare to enter the village.
She had a jade token hidden in her sleeve. As she passed a large banyan tree at the entrance of the village, she stopped and looked up: "This tree must be a hundred years old!"
There was an old man smoking a pipe under the tree. When he heard the sound and saw Jiang Chu, his eyes suddenly lit up, but soon returned to normal, and he slowly inhaled and exhaled smoke.
"This tree was planted by our village's first mayor himself. He said that banyan trees can bring wealth. Since the tree was planted, every household in our village has become a millionaire."
As he spoke, he was somewhat smug, and looked at Jiang Chu with a condescending air: "I guess you are also a young man who heard this rumor and wanted to verify it."
Jiang Chu nodded with tears in his eyes, his voice choked with sobs.
"My father owes two thousand yuan from gambling. If he can't pay it back by next month, he's going to ask my mom and me to pay it off."
"I happened to hear about a village called Xinghua Village where everyone is a millionaire, so I thought I'd try my luck and see if there are any kindhearted people who can help me pay off my debts."
The old man shook the pipe in his hand, slowly stood up, and looked her up and down: "I have a job that should be suitable for you. Come with me."
"Really? Thank you!" Jiang Chu was about to cry and kept bowing. "If you can really help me pay off my debt, I'd be willing to work like a slave for you in my next life!"
"Alright, alright." The old man smiled and waved his hand. "Just follow me. I can only give you an opportunity. Whether you can seize it depends on your performance."
Jiang Chu wiped his tears with his sleeves, and the dusty sleeves made his entire face look dirty.
The old man frowned and pointed his pipe at the stream beside him: "Go wash your face first, it looks so ugly."
Jiang Chu's face turned red all of a sudden, and he quickly ran towards the stream. However, he was tripped by a stone because he was too anxious, and fell directly to the ground.
Jiang Chu climbed up tremblingly. His clothes on his knees and arms were torn and bleeding.
She struggled to run to the water to clean her wounds.
The old man laughed even more happily.
Jiang Chu's gentle and easy-to-control appearance completely confused the old man, so that he did not notice that at the moment Jiang Chu fell, she quickly stuffed the jade talisman in her sleeve into the soil.
Jiang Chu followed the old man timidly into the village.
Jiang Chu kept exclaiming in admiration along the way.
“Every household has a car!”
"This house is so tall! In our village, only the village chief can live in a house made of cement, but here every house is made of cement."
"Every household smells like meat. It smells so good. I haven't eaten meat in a long time."
This ignorant look successfully pleased the old man. He tapped his pipe and said, "As long as you listen to me and behave well later, you will have delicious food and spicy drinks every day in the future."
"Yeah!" Jiang Chu's eyes lit up, and he looked convinced.
"I don't know what to call you yet."
Old man: "Just call me Uncle Li."
"Hey, Uncle Li." A scruffy man with an untidy beard walked towards them. The moment he saw Jiang Chu, he couldn't take his eyes off him. "The latest ones are all good-looking."
Jiang Chu's face turned pale in an instant, and he looked at Uncle Li for confirmation: "What does he mean?"
Li Shuwen's expression suddenly turned cold: "Literally, don't you want to make money?"
"Anyone in this village can help you solve your debt. It doesn't matter if you follow one person or a group of people."
Jiang Chu hid the viciousness in her eyes and acted in a way that was consistent with her current status - running away.
I saw her running all the way, running along the same path she came from.
There were constant footsteps behind her, and she couldn't turn around.
The big banyan tree at the entrance of the village appeared in front of her. Just as she was about to step out of the village, someone grabbed her hair fiercely - it was Uncle Li.
A large group of men appeared around, looking at Jiang Chu wantonly, as if she were a commodity.
The man at the beginning tutted his tongue, and stared at Jiang Chu with those gloomy and disgusting eyes: "Do you think you can get away? If you are obedient, you will suffer less."
"Let me go." Jiang Chu kept struggling regardless of the pain on his scalp.
Someone said, "Why don't we just kill her right here and then? Otherwise, she'll keep trying to escape."
Someone chimed in: "I'm optimistic. This one looks like she's probably still a virgin, hahaha."
Malice from all directions was directed at Jiang Chu.
Xiao He tried to rush out again, but was suppressed by Jiang Chu's spiritual power.
It’s not the right time yet. If she takes action now, all the previous performances will be in vain.
"You have to show it to that adult first. You are not allowed to have any ideas about her during this period." Uncle Li suppressed the group of men with just one look.
Jiang Chu struggled so hard that Uncle Li knocked her unconscious.
Jiang Chu was carried on his shoulders and opened his third eye to observe the surroundings.
All the people walking around were men, even the children playing on the street were boys.
This is really weird.
Uncle Li brought Jiang Chu to a western-style house. He knocked on the door three times and someone came to open it soon.
She was an old woman with a hunched back.
Uncle Li put Jiang Chu down from his back and said, "He just arrived today. Discipline him well and don't let anything like what happened yesterday happen again."
The old woman answered yes.
After Uncle Li left, the old woman looked at the unconscious Jiang Chu and sighed silently: "What a sin!"
