if it's just walking down the street with me. Leaving you alone inevitably leads to gossip and rumors from ordinary people...Humph...it's really a pity for you...A good girl like you has become some...Xi Linzhou rubbed her arms, red rashes began to appear on her skin. She complained, "This will take several days to disappear again! I told you I was just passing time watching movies outside and waiting for you guys! You insisted on dragging me in..."
"Have you got the nerve to call yourself a witch Besides, no one cares if you break out in hives or not. It doesn't matter who sees it!" My brother scoffed.
"Humph!" she huffed, turning her head away.
In the southwest corner, a long outline appeared faintly, twisting towards the east wing. The barking of a black dog shook the heavens... It was too loud; it would attract everyone around.
"...Shall we go down" I whispered. "I'll go calm the dog."
The big black dog whimpered twice when it saw me, then lay down on the ground and didn't move, as if giving up resistance.
In the southwest corner, that shadow grew thicker and thicker. Xi Linzhou suddenly covered her mouth and let out a soft gasp.
The door to the east chamber creaked open a sliver, and a small figure crawled out from inside.
Creep. A creepy creep.
Without using its hands or feet, it twisted its body on the ground, or propped itself up with its knees and shoulders, moving forward in a wriggling, inchworm-like manner.
Liú's youngest daughter was just over four years old. She rubbed so hard on the ground that her skin quickly broke.
Her tiny body twisted as she crawled toward the southwest corner. We hid behind the car, watching her. When she reached the middle of the yard, she suddenly turned and crawled towards the big black thing.
Dai Hei whimpered and retreated, we were ready. My brother gave me a look, telling me to exorcise the little girl while he dealt with the thing in the southwest corner.
The youngest daughter twisted her body strangely and opened her mouth toward the big black dog... What, did she want to bite the dog to death
When facing patients with "strange and evil spirits," the method of exorcism is the most convenient and quick.
The right index finger pinches under the nail, chanting a spell to exorcise ghosts.
The little girl's body suddenly stiffened, she turned her head and glared at us with a menacing look, then quickly crawled toward me!
"Ah!! Hurry, hurry, hurry, stop her--" Xi Linzhou cried out in alarm, retreating frantically.
Is this guy really Master Ma's apprentice He's so afraid of sinister things.
Because I wasn't sure if the little girl was possessed by a ghost or a demon, I played it safe and performed a warding off evil ritual, silently chanting incantations to confine any malevolent spirits.
The little girl paused, then suddenly turned her head sideways. I quickly stepped forward, pulled out the talisman and stuck it on her forehead, shouting, "Brother, hurry up, that thing is about to escape!"
My brother quickly stuck his entrenching tool into the soil at the southwest corner. The soil there was loose, and the shovel went in easily. Something underneath was struggling frantically. My brother cursed, “It’s got some guts… It’s a useless Liu Xian!”
Liu Xian!
I swallowed nervously, could it really be Liuxian entering the house
Xi Lingzhou, upon hearing this, hurriedly cried out: "Don't kill him! We said that Liu Xian mustn't be killed when entering the house!"
My older brother glared at her and retorted, “We still say that long worms entering the house and the dwelling being afflicted by evil spirits!”
Liuxian is a mythical creature from folklore, a long worm spirit, or an old snake spirit that has lived for many years. It is said that old snakes are particularly vengeful. If killed, they will come back to seek revenge.
Moreover, the old serpent possesses both evil and spiritual nature. It is said that an old serpent cultivated for many years can transform into a human form and also possess souls and objects.
Xī Língzhōu's face was covered with more and more rashes. She yelled impatiently, "Just don't kill Liú Xiān for now, I'll talk to it later!"
Let's talk She can even speak to animals, right
Uncle Liu and his wife, who were hiding in the west wing room to peek, were frightened. His wife couldn't help but say, "See, I told you that Second Miss would do strange things! She even talks to ghosts! Maybe she's taking revenge on us!"
In the dead of night, these words easily entered our ears. Xi Linzhou sneered and said: "Do you still need me to take revenge You will have a hard time later! Let me make it clear, no matter how many children you have, your ending will be miserable, with nowhere to rely on in your old age!"
This remark was especially jarring to the people from the mountains. Even if a family didn't have a son, they would usually take in a son-in-law to provide for them in their old age. Xi Lingzhou's words sounded like a curse, which caused Lao Liu's wife to explode with anger.
“You little brat, who are you cursing! If it weren't for your old mother carrying you for ten months and giving birth to you with her life, would you even be in this world! Back then, I went hungry begging just to have some breast milk for you! Thinking of selling you to a good family so you wouldn't suffer with us!”
She rambled on, crying hysterically and cursing.
Xi Linzhou let out a cold snort: "I have nothing to do with you lot. I'm only here to collect something ominous, don't bring up these old grudges with me! Selling your daughter and still saying it's justified You can only fool yourselves."
My brother shouted, "Are you guys trying to kill each other or just argue Come on, someone help out! If you keep this up, I'm quitting. You're on your own to clean up the mess!"
Lao Liu hurried over with his hoe to help dig. Lao Liu's wife ran to me and asked, "What's wrong with my girl"
"Temporarily driven away, don't tear off the talisman for now," I instructed, preparing to help my brother.
Xi Linzhou didn't dare to get close to the corner of the courtyard and ran out of it herself.
"Xiao Qiao," my brother gave me a wink, telling me to keep an eye on her so she wouldn't pull any stunts.
I chased out into the yard and saw Xi Lingzhou run to sit under a tree. She took out her laptop from her backpack and opened it, watching some mumbling love action movie…
She's really going to watch this kind of thing in the middle of the night, out in the wilderness!
"You’ve gone too far, haven't you" I said, unable to hold back. "Even if you hired us to deal with the spirits, you shouldn't be watching this kind of stuff here, right"
She snorted coldly and said, “What's wrong Do you think this is bothering you You've already had children, are you still embarrassed to look at these”
My face felt hot, like I couldn't communicate with a delinquent girl.
She pulled out her compact mirror and glanced at her reflection, frowning. "Watching this kind of film gets a physical reaction from me, the stronger the reaction, the faster my rash clears up."
What kind of reaction could you have watching this kind of movie!
"You really should get a boyfriend!" I said wordlessly, turning away.
The high-pitched and low cries of those women were unbearable to me. I could only stare at her from afar.
This weird little witch, her way of thinking is completely different from ours.

No matter how late it gets, every night Jiang Qiyun would appear by my side. Since we became close, he’s been “seriously responsible” about accompanying me through the night.
When he showed up today, I was put off by Xi Linzhou's attitude.
"What's wrong Who upset you" Jiang Qiyun appeared when I was still sulking.
"Nothing..." I shook my head.
That delinquent girl was still watching forbidden videos under the tree. I looked at her, and I saw that her eyes were fixed on me.
Could she see!
Jiang Qiyun frowned slightly: "Who is this woman The Niduan Palace is unusually different—"wrapped that thing up in a yellow cloth with talismans on it...it looked like a lamp base."Come up here, don't you say you were feeling unwell" I was on edge, worried about any stragglers.My brother s...
