“Boss, that village is so bad. Why did you help him change the fate of his descendants? Can’t you just fool this kind of person?” Shen Jian turned around and looked at the house behind him through the back window.
Su Meng smiled and said, “Can’t you see his face? He did too many bad things when he was alive. Now that the fate gathering array has been broken, he won’t have any descendants.”
Shen Jian heard this and immediately turned to look at Su Meng. He said in surprise, “So, Boss, you successfully saved Brother Hong and punished him. After all, changing the fate of his descendants means that he will be unlucky.”
“This is his retribution,” Su Meng said calmly.
All of this was brought on by the Village Chief himself. He had agreed to do this. Su Meng had answered him about the consequences. He did not ask about the descendants, so Su Meng did not say anything.
“Xiao Meng, thank you for helping me. I thought that I would be spending my days there in the future,” Hong Si thanked Su Meng.
“Oh right, Brother Hong, how did you become like this?” Shen Jian asked.
Hong Si was silent for a moment before he slowly said, “It’s a long story. It’s a little complicated.”
“I grew up in the village. Thanks to my grandfather and the Village Chief’s care, I went to almost every family in the village for a meal. The people in the village are all family to me. On the day I came of age, a feng shui master came to the village. He said that we were fated and he would take me in as a disciple.”
“He said that after he took me in as a disciple, as long as I learned from him, I could rely on my own ability to earn money in the future. Although I didn’t go to school, my grandfather taught me quite a bit of knowledge. But it was useless in the village. I could only rely on others to live. In order not to drag others down, I agreed to Master.”
“I was afraid that the Village Chief and the others would be worried, so I only left a note for him and then left. A while ago, the Village Chief suddenly told me that something had happened in the village and that he needed my help, so I came back. He had helped me too much. He knew that I knew how to read feng shui, so he asked me to calculate how to solve the strange situation in the village.”
“My cultivation was too shallow to calculate it, so the Village Chief told me the solution of the other feng shui master. However, he said that it would have some impact on the spellcaster, but I didn’t expect the impact to be so great that I would directly lose my sight. But when I realized that it was impossible, it was already too late.”
“At first, the Village Chief said that I had brought back the good luck of the entire village by myself and that he would take good care of me in the future. However, as my body became weaker and weaker, the Village Chief became more and more impatient with me. Only then did I realize that he wanted to use me to change his life. I wanted to leave, but he didn’t let me go and didn’t let anyone else go to his house. In the end, this is what you all know now.”
Hong Si was a kind person. Su Meng could tell from the moment she met him that if he was not kind, her master would not have wanted him.
However, it was precisely this kind of kindness that almost took his life. A person had to be a little rough in order to live a better life.
Su Meng asked him, “Brother Hong, what do you think of the Village Chief now?”
“I used to be sincerely grateful, but now…” Hong Si paused. He continued, “He used my grandfather’s ashes to threaten me to be his formation eye. I used to treat him as family, but I didn’t expect him to only use me. He said that if I didn’t listen to him, he would scatter my grandfather’s ashes.”
“The people of our village believe in these things. They believe that if a person’s ashes are scattered after death, they will be sent to h*ll to be tortured. Although I don’t mind, I don’t want my grandfather to go through this.” Hong Si’s voice was low. The people in the car could hear the helplessness and sadness in his words.
Although he said it simply, Su Meng could tell that the Village Chief was trying to kidnap and threaten him morally.
“Brother Hong, have you ever thought about how you came to this village?” Su Meng asked.
Hong Si was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully, “I am from this village. I was born in this village, but my parents died early, so only my grandfather is by my side.”
Su Meng realized that Hong Si really did not know. She sighed and said, “Brother Hong, did you not suspect that you were kidnapped? You have never seen your parents since you were young, and there are no other relatives in the village. There are too many flaws. That feng shui master back then must have realized that you did not belong to this village and wanted to take you away. That was why he took you in as his disciple.”
“Most people would not provoke a feng shui master because feng shui masters rely on fate to make a living. Some black-hearted people would be provoked and curse or behead them. There are all sorts of ways to harm people. That’s why the Village Chief didn’t dare to stop him from taking you away. That’s why you were safe for so long.”
