Quick Transmigration: The Adorable Baby's Struggle

Chapter 221 My Mother is a Fortune Teller 6

"A strong killing intent? That's utter nonsense..."

Lu Yingniang had just spat out half of her phlegm when she swallowed it back down.

Because she suddenly remembered that yesterday her daughter had grabbed the old ghost with one little arm and slammed him to the ground with a loud "bang bang".

Wow, my daughter's got a bit of a wild side these days!

But it's definitely not a murderous aura.

Yes, that old Taoist priest with the bull-nose nose wronged my daughter.

"Don't listen to the old man's nonsense, my daughter is perfectly fine!"

"Ok!"

She nodded slightly, feeling that she was a great girl and a good baby.

The family leisurely descended the mountain and returned to the town the next day.

As soon as he entered the town, he was spotted by Lu Guoping, a fellow villager who was returning home from the market. Lu Guoping quickly reached out and called out:

"Yingniang, here, here..."

"What's wrong? Guoping!"

Lu Yingniang looked over upon hearing the sound, saw him, and asked in confusion.

"Yingniang, you're finally back! Something terrible has happened in our village!"

Lu Guoping looked anxious, his eyes wide open.

"What's the big deal?"

Lu Yingniang's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked.

"The village chief's youngest son suddenly fell ill with a strange disease and fell into a coma. Many doctors were consulted, but none of them could figure out what was wrong with him."

Some people say you're possessed by an evil spirit, and that it was looking for you!

But we couldn't find you anywhere in town yesterday. Now we're searching everywhere for someone to perform a ritual for you."

Lu Yingniang responded with an "oh," her face remaining expressionless, but inwardly she was troubled.

She's not as reckless and daring as before; now she knows that ghosts really do exist in this world.

She used to be fearless because of ignorance, but now she's genuinely terrified of this thing!

Despite his great reputation, he's just a fraud and has no real skills.

If the village chief's youngest son really does go mad, I don't know how I'll handle it.

Not only would you be disgraced, you might also get hurt.

She hesitated inwardly, but didn't show it on her face, maintaining an air of superiority.

Seeing that Lu Yingniang hadn't spoken for a while, Lu Guoping assumed she was troubled by the money issue and quickly said:

"Yingniang, don't worry. As long as you're willing to help, the village chief will give you a lot of reward, whether you succeed or not."

Lu Yingniang's heart stirred, but she still hesitated.

Just then, Xiao Xiao tugged at her clothes and said in a childish voice:

"Mom, let's go take a look."

Xiao Xiao wanted to do a few practical things to help Lu Yingniang and make amends.

Anyway, as long as she's around, no matter how fierce the ghost is, it won't be a threat.

Lu Yingniang looked down at her daughter and saw that the little girl's eyes were clear and firm.

A thought suddenly occurred to her: perhaps her daughter really does have abilities!

After all, she wasn't even afraid of old ghosts.

So I gritted my teeth and agreed.

She's in a difficult situation now.

Initially, the couple couldn't do heavy work, so they had no choice but to take this path to make a living.

Later, she had a daughter.

He was also frail and sickly, and had to take medicine every few days, which cost him even more money.

Therefore, I want to earn more money so that I can feel at ease.

And so, we had no choice but to continue down this path.

Of course, the fact that the money came too easily also made her reluctant to let go.

But this time, her daughter's encounter with a ghost truly terrified her.

Lu Yingniang had originally decided to retire from this line of work.

I always feel that if I walk too much at night, I'll encounter ghosts.

I've earned quite a bit over the years, and I'll go work in the city from now on.

I'll buy my daughter a small house and watch her grow up.

She came down from Yuhua Mountain with this idea in mind.

But now, she has no choice.

The villagers begged her for help, and she couldn't refuse their requests, nor did she dare to admit that she had lied to them.

Otherwise, her former followers would have definitely come and demolished her house.

"Village chief, village chief, Yingniang is back, Yingniang is back."

At the home of the village chief of Lujiazhuang Village, Lu Guoping braked the car, jumped off, and shouted into the courtyard through the wall.

Lu Yingniang, holding her daughter's hand and carrying a bundle on her back, stepped over the threshold and came in.

In the courtyard, Qin Yufen, the village chief's wife, quickly came out of the kitchen, grabbed Lu Yingniang's hand, and said with red eyes:

"Yingniang, you've finally arrived. Quickly help your auntie see what's wrong with Shuanzi."

That kid was naughty; he insisted on going to the mountains with his classmates in the sweltering heat, and then he got sick that night and remained unconscious.

The doctor couldn't help, saying that there was nothing wrong with her body, but she just wouldn't wake up.

"I searched for you all day yesterday but couldn't find you, so your uncle invited a wandering Taoist priest to come and take a look."

At this moment, a man came out of the main room to greet them; he was Lu Shuanzi's elder brother, Lu Zhuzi.

He forced a smile and greeted Lu Yingniang.

Inside the west room, next to Village Chief Lu, stood a thin Taoist priest.

He was wearing a drab gray Taoist robe, with an old belt around his waist and a worn-out gourd hanging from it.

Upon hearing the noise, the Taoist priest also turned his head to look over.

Xiao Xiao also saw the Taoist's appearance: a thin face, deep and mysterious eyes, a long beard, and a bundle on his back with a section of a peach wood sword hilt sticking out.

"Yingniang is here."

After greeting Lu Yingniang, Village Chief Lu turned to look at the Taoist priest with an apologetic expression.

"Master, please don't be offended. This is a member of my family, and he knows a little about exorcism and purification magic. Please continue..."

The Taoist priest was displeased and frowned as he refused:

"Since you have invited another expert, I will not presume to presume to do so. Farewell!"

With that, he flicked his sleeve, turned around, and walked out.

He had just seen Lu Yingniang, who was holding the hand of a little boy with a small topknot.

The woman carried a bundle on her back, just like him, which contained a peach wood sword and other utensils for eating.

He could tell that this woman had no magical powers whatsoever; she was probably a local sorceress or shaman.

Most of these are swindlers who cheat people out of their money, and they are far inferior to a wandering Taoist priest like him who has some real skills.

Three days ago, he cast a divination for himself. The divination indicated that his journey to the south, where there are three mountains flanking a river, would be beneficial for spiritual practice.

He rushed over, but after waiting all day, a family of three arrived on a motorcycle.

But when he saw it, he felt no excitement.

Knowing that it was not his own opportunity, he ignored it.

After waiting another day, he suddenly realized that his chance had been missed and felt dejected.

The village chief invited him here, where he was treated to a feast and asked for his help.

He saw that the boy lying on the bed had offended an evil spirit, and was surrounded by black energy. Exorcising the evil spirit would not be difficult; he could do it.

The village chief agreed and gave a generous donation.

But now they've even invited a country witch doctor who's good at shamanism to share a room with him, and he feels humiliated.

"No! Taoist priest..."

The village chief panicked and hurriedly reached out to stop him, his face full of pleading.

Lu Yingniang knew that these proper Taoist priests looked down on them, these country witch doctors and sorcerers, but she didn't care.

She has come to terms with things now and is no longer competitive; she's content as long as she can help the village chief solve his problems.

Just now, she stood by the curtain and looked, but couldn't see anything wrong with Lu Shuanzi.

If the Taoist priest in front of us has the ability to solve this, that would be the best outcome.
