There is a trick

Chapter 22 Pretending to be a ghost
The little boy had a coquettish look on his face, and even his voice became shrill and soft, as if a fox fairy possessed him!
The two men with rotten faces stood by the cellar, watching Shidanzi as if he was possessed by a ghost. There was obvious panic on their rotten faces!
Even Qian Chaodong froze and was afraid to step forward!

Shidanzi's situation looked extremely strange at the moment, so these people did not dare to act rashly.

Zhou Chang looked at the grain piled on both sides of the cellar. There was not a single mycelium of delusion growing in the grain pile. He then turned his eyes to Shi Danzi in the coffin who was still asking for a title from everyone.

He had a plan in mind, so he stared at Shi Danzi and said to Qian Chaodong, "It seems that my uncle's madness has not been cured at all. He needs to be locked up in the cellar and the intensity of the punishment should be increased.

For now, let's keep him sealed in the coffin for three days."

"Yep!"

Qian Chaodong nodded subconsciously. He looked hesitantly at Shi Danzi, who was still possessed by a ghost, and waved at the two men with rotten faces, "Go, seal the coffin!"

The man with the rotten face who had behaved ferociously before now curled up in fear, and only under the intimidation of Qian Chaodong's gaze did he slowly lift the coffin lid.

Shi Danzi in the coffin room saw that he was about to be sealed in the coffin again. A trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes. He suddenly kicked his legs, tilted his head, and his whole body began to spasm and twitch!
"What's going on? What's going on!"

Qian Chaodong and the two men with rotten faces were horrified and quickly retreated away from the cellar.

Only Zhou Chang stood by the cellar, quietly watching Shidanzi's lifeless eyes gradually become bright after he twitched.

Shi Danzi looked at Zhou Chang blankly: "What happened?"

"Your madness has not been cured, and you still need to continue treatment." Zhou Chang's eyes were heavy. "Now I can only lock you up in this cellar by yourself. I will let you out when you are cured."

The young man looked at Zhou Chang's solemn expression, and the corner of his eye twitched suddenly.

The panic on his face could not be suppressed at all and was evident in his words.

"I, I'm not sick!"

"No, you are sick. The Wong Tai Sin possessed you just now. Manager Qian, while he can come to his senses now, quickly seal his coffin!"

"I, I, I - Master Zhou - Brother Zhou, I'm really not sick!

I was the one who pretended just now!
I just wanted to scare them so that they wouldn’t dare to lock me up again and would drive me out of this cellar…” Shidanzi had a sad face and dumped out all his plans.

When Zhou Chang heard what Shi Danzi said, he suddenly curled up the corners of his mouth and grinned silently.

Then, he quickly calmed down and pretended to be expressionless.

Qian Chaodong and the two men with rotten faces, who were retreating in fear, came to their senses after listening to the conversation between Zhou Chang and Shi Danzi, and immediately surrounded them aggressively.

"You bastard, you dare to pretend to be a ghost to scare me!

I'll beat the shit out of you!"

Qian Chaodong's fat face was trembling. He squatted down, grabbed Shidanzi's clothes with his fist as big as a vinegar jar, and pulled him out of the coffin. His other fist was about to hit Shidanzi on the head!

This fat man who looked kind and generous suddenly went crazy, and it felt like his true face and evil expression were revealed!
Shidanzi was so frightened that his face turned pale and he closed his eyes tightly. Two tears immediately squeezed out of the corners of his eyes.

“He came down to the cellar with the work ticket given by the Wen family.

His master has a good relationship with the Wen family - if he hurts him, his master will have to go to the Wen family to seek justice. "Zhou Chang stood beside Qian Chaodong, like a wooden stake, his voice was quiet, as if he had no sense of existence.

However, this sinister voice stopped Qian Chaodong from going crazy.

Qian Chaodong turned his head and glared at Zhou Chang, who had an expressionless face. Then he groaned, picked up the stone egg and threw it to the edge of the cellar.

He even reached out to smooth out Shi Danzi's wrinkled clothes: "You are not crazy, so don't come tomorrow."

Shidanzi was surprised and happy when he heard the sound.

"You continue tomorrow." Qian Chaodong pointed at Zhou Chang's face and repeated what he had said to Zhou Chang before.

"it is good."

Zhou Chang readily agreed.

Led by Qian Chaodong, the group walked up the winding slope. The rice graves and grain mountains on both sides of the slope were dug up, and men, women, old and young climbed out of the coffins and stood on both sides of the slope.

Only when Qian Chaodong led people upwards, these dazed and distraught people seemed to have found their leader and followed Qian Chaodong.

Looking at the people around him who were shaking their arms and walking slowly, Zhou Chang could no longer find any spirit in their eyes.

These people came to the winery to treat their madness and hysteria, and now they really have no signs of madness - but they all seem to have lost their souls and turned into fools...

Does this count as curing madness?

Then why - why is Shidanzi still alive and well and shows no signs of becoming stupid?
Zhou Chang's own situation is special and cannot be lumped together with these people. Although Shi Danzi can pretend to be a ghost to scare people, he is a normal person after all. Why doesn't he become like a walking corpse like the other people in the wine cellar?
The crowd was as silent as a flock of sheep, driven by an invisible force, and walked out of Mifen one after another.

In the dark room of the flat shed, Zhou Chang suddenly felt like he was being watched. He drooped his brows, and at a certain moment, he suddenly turned his head to look somewhere -

In the crowd, the two men with rotten faces were walking side by side.

As Zhou Chang suddenly turned his head, they all subconsciously looked away, and then glared back at Zhou Chang even more fiercely.

At this time, Zhou Chang had turned around and continued walking forward.

Why are these two people spying on me?

What secrets do they have?
Qian Chaodong unbolted the only black lacquered wooden door in the inner room and pushed the door open to a gap just enough for a person to pass through sideways.

The daylight from outside leaked in.

The wine shop manager who had earlier sent Zhou Chang and the other two into the inner room was now waiting outside the door.

"You go out first."

Qian Chaodong pushed Zhou Chang.

Zhou Chang squeezed through the crack in the door and heard Qian Chaodong talking to the owner of the wine shop: "His madness hasn't recovered yet, so we have to let him come again tomorrow."

The owner of the wine shop looked at Zhou Chang thoughtfully and said "OK" in a flattering manner.

Afterwards, Qian Chaodong pulled the stone egg over and pushed it out of the crack in the door.

He called the wine shop owner to come closer and spoke a few words to him in a very low voice.

Zhou Chang's ears moved slightly, but he understood his words clearly: "This kid is smart! Clever!

Among so many people, only he and the one who was paralyzed by hysteria are still alive and kicking. Yunu Lake is in need of a water watcher. Give him more money and hire him to work."

The owner of the wine shop nodded, turned around and glanced at Shidanzi without saying a word.

He then led the confused crowd through the backyard of the winery and walked out of the lobby.

Under the towering gatehouse of Yongsheng Winery, there was a long queue of people waiting to buy wine, people selling themselves for a sip of wine, people stretching their necks to try to breathe in the aroma of alcohol floating in the air... there were more people than in the morning.

The crowd was full of people.

Some people who had been waiting in front of the gatehouse saw the winery manager leading a group of people out of the lobby, and immediately gathered around.

They vied with each other to recognize the people behind the steward who had come into the wine cellar to be cured of their madness.

"Dad, are you feeling better?"

"Have you seen that face-stealing fox in the flowery cotton jacket again?"

"Manager, why does my wife seem to have become stupid and doesn't recognize me?"

"Yeah...my son can't speak anymore..."
