Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin were actually very resistant to the thought of going to the village doctor. It wasn’t that they didn’t believe the doctor, but they now felt that not only was the village dangerous, the people here were also very dangerous.
Before, the two of them hadn’t thought much of interacting with the villagers, but no matter how guileless the villagers appeared, after what happened last night, how could Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin dare treat them as such any longer?
If Master Chi hadn’t made the suggestion, how could the two of them agree? Besides, judging from her tone, it seemed she planned to go with them to take a look. The two relaxed.
Moreover, Ruan Shenglin was really worried about his wife and the child in her stomach. Tong Tong had been vomiting non-stop last night.
Ruan Shenglin was worried and probed, “Master Chi, are you coming with us?”
!!
Chi Shuyan nodded. “I happen to be free, so I’ll go with you!”
With Chi Shuyan’s agreement, Ruan Shenglin was overjoyed. On the side, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan wanted to say something, but hesitated.
While Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin were bringing Xu Tong over, Chi Shuyan called the other two over and asked them in detail about what happened in the morning, such as how the talisman that had been stuck on Pan Jiang was torn off.
She had tested the Exorcism Talisman and confirmed that it did work on the other party, so who had torn off the first talisman?
At the mention of this, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan felt a little guilty, and only then did they tell her the truth. Pan Jiang indeed hadn’t torn off the talisman, but it had been blown off by the wind. Speaking of which, it was their fault for being careless and not paying attention. The two had gone to check on Pan Jiang early in the morning and were relieved when they saw that he was still stiff and motionless, but they then forgot to close the window.
The wind was strong this morning, and it blew away the talisman that was stuck on Pan Jiang.
Chi Shuyan felt a bit helpless after this explanation. Seeing her expression grow sharper, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan immediately reflected on themselves and apologized to her, which made it difficult for Chi Shuyan to say anything. Seeing that the two of them had really learned their lesson this time, Chi Shuyan didn’t say anything else. She only instructed the two of them to be more vigilant while they were staying in this village and not to take their lives lightly.
Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan also knew how serious the matter was, and immediately nodded in agreement.
Chi Shuyan planned to follow Ruan Shenglin and the others to Aunt Miao’s place later. According to Pan Jiang, the other party’s character was very strange. She was afraid that bringing too many people over would make her unhappy and wary, so she arranged for Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming to stay behind and take care of Brother Feng.
Before she left, she glanced at Qi Zhenbai’s room. There was no movement inside, and she couldn’t help but say, “Let me know when Qi Zhenbai comes back.”
Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming immediately nodded.
After explaining everything, Chi Shuyan planned to go out and wait for Ruan Shenglin and the others, but recalling how they had run into evil last night, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming still had something to say.
Before Chi Shuyan left, Xiao Shan couldn’t help but say, “Sister… Sister-in-law, we still have something to tell you!”
Chi Shuyan stopped. Seeing that the two really had something to say to her, she looked at them. “Go on!”
Wu Haoming was more eloquent. After hesitating for a while, he immediately recounted what happened last night. “Sister-in-law, we think we might have run into evil last night… We didn’t go anywhere else, and just had a few drinks with Da Qing and the others. We didn’t think much of it before, but after listening to Manager Yang, we remembered something.”
Wu Haoming paused for a moment before he continued with a solemn expression, “Last night, Da Qing and the others invited Xiao Shan and I over for a meal and a drink. However, Da Qing’s behavior and expression were a little strange. When we first saw the others, their faces were deathly white, like the dead. It was scary. We didn’t think much of it at that time and just thought that they were sick or something. When we arrived at Da Qing’s house, Xiao Shan and I chatted and drank with them, but we felt that something was off. Most of the time, they didn’t speak and just stared at us and smiled, and their smiles were especially stiff.”
Last night, he and Xiao Shan had even secretly joked that Da Qing and the others were staring at them as if they wanted to swallow them alive. However, the two hadn’t thought much of it at that time and had just been kidding. After all, they were on good terms with the group during the day, so they didn’t suspect anything at all.
It was only after what suddenly happened to Manager Yang Kun last night that they remembered their interactions with Da Qing and the others last night. The two of them felt that it was especially strange.
Fortunately, they had the talismans from Master Chi in their pockets. Otherwise, who knew if they would have survived.
But at the thought of how normal the behavior and expressions of Da Qing and the others were during the day, they didn’t understand what was going on. Could it be that they were really possessed by something?
The two were a bit worried about Da Qing and the others, and couldn’t help but ask, “Sister-in-law, do you think we can give Da Qing a few talismans to protect himself and exorcize evil spirits?”
After listening to the two, Chi Shuyan’s heart sank again. She couldn’t help but think of how strange Pan Jiang had been, and she said, “I understand. As for the talismans, don’t be in a hurry to give them out. If I have the time after I come back in the afternoon, I’ll go with you to see them.”
After a pause, Chi Shuyan suddenly thought of something and asked, “Wait, how many people were at dinner last night? Did they all act the same way?”
Xiao Shan said, “Three. It was Xu Gao, Xu Meng and Da Qing who treated us to a meal. The three of them indeed all acted the same!”
“Okay, I understand!” Chi Shuyan didn’t say much. She patted their shoulders and went out first.
Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming wanted to say something, but hesitated. They still had questions, for example, about Pan Jiang’s strange revival early that morning.
However, the two also knew that Master Chi would tell them sooner or later. If she didn’t tell them, it was probably because the timing wasn’t right, or she didn’t know anything.
The two thought of Director Feng’s injuries and obediently stopped asking questions.
Chi Shuyan went out. Xu Tong, Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun were already waiting for her at the door. She first gave each of them a high-grade level 4 Safety Talisman which she had drawn last night. This kind of high-grade Safety Talisman was very rare. The Safety Talismans which she had given out before were all level 1 and could indeed protect them.
However, a high-grade level 4 Safety Talisman was even better. Not only could it ward off evil spirits, it could make a person’s body circulate energy. It could be seen how precious these talismans were, so Chi Shuyan only gave them one each.
She also gave them plenty of Exorcism Talismans, Exploding Talismans and Guiding Lightning Talismans.
As for the price, it was 100,000 yuan each.
As for why she was giving them so many types of talismans, it was because the things in this village were too strange and mysterious – even she was a little flustered at times by everything that was happening.
There had not been a day when she felt at ease ever since she came to this village, and the sense of oppression and uneasiness grew.
Occasionally, she even felt that it was better to leave this village as soon as possible. Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable.
But now wasn’t the time to leave.
That was why she generously gave the people in front of her more talismans to protect them. She might not care about anyone else, but she had become more and more familiar with Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Xu Tong recently. They also had good characters, and she couldn’t watch them die.
When she gave them the talismans, Chi Shuyan explained in detail the effects of the Exorcism Talisman, the Guiding Lightning Talisman, the Exploding Talisman and the Safety Talisman. She also told them to carry the Safety Talisman on them at all times and not to take it off, even in the shower, as this Safety Talisman could prevent evil spirits from getting close and could also change their luck.
Yang Kun, Ruan Shenglin and Xu Tong all knew that Master Chi was the real deal. The talismans she gave them were really good stuff. They were caught off guard and were overjoyed and excited to see her suddenly give them so many. After hearing about the Safety Talisman in particular, they were so excited that they didn’t know what to do.
Xu Tong didn’t think much of it and didn’t know that the village was dangerous. She just thought that carrying the talisman on her would be better for the child.
Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin, on the other hand, knew how big a favor Master Chi was doing them by giving them so many talismans, especially in this dangerous village. These talismans were priceless life-saving treasures, so one could imagine how excited and moved Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin were at that moment. Their hands trembled as they took these talismans. After thanking her gratefully, they immediately carefully hid the talismans in their inner pockets. Even then, they would touch them from time to time, especially the Safety Talisman, which warded off evil spirits and could change their luck.
The two had already made up their minds to find red strings when they returned to their accommodation later so that they could wear the talisman around their necks. They couldn’t take it off no matter what. If it wasn’t for the fact that the child in Tong Tong’s stomach had yet to be born, Ruan Shenglin would have asked for more Safety Talismans for his child.
They hurriedly thanked Master Chi in unison and said that they would transfer the money when they went back later. Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun made up their minds not to let Master Chi suffer no matter what. These talismans really were priceless, especially given the luck-changing effect of the Safety Talisman – it could cause a stir in the circle if word of it got out.
Chi Shuyan waved her hand and said politely, “It’s fine, there’s no hurry! Just transfer the money whenever you can!”
Ruan Shenglin suddenly thought of the film crew and said carefully, “Master… Master Chi, can the others… also buy some talismans from you?” After a pause, Ruan Shenglin was afraid that Master Chi would refuse, and that she would think that he was pushing his luck. He hurriedly said, “Ordinary talismans will do. They don’t lack money at all! It doesn’t matter how much it costs!”
