Chapter 99 Great Progress in Thought
Li Yingtang suddenly felt sad.

The girl happily got married, thinking she was heading towards beauty and happiness.

As a result, there were many hardships. "The worst thing to do during confinement is to cry. Take good care of yourself, the child still needs you."

Fengfeng held back her tears and squeezed out a "hmm" from her throat.

Li Yingtang continued to enlighten the other party: "The elders' words."

"Oh! Oh! Oh!" Aunt Fang sighed continuously and disturbed Li Yingtang several times.

Cheng Dahe brought the meal into the living room and deliberately kicked over a chair, and only then did Aunt Fang stop.

"Fengfeng, it's time to eat," he said.

"Hey. This is from Doctor Qin's house. Have something to eat." Fengfeng held the bowl and handed it to Li Yingtang.

She glanced at the noodle soup and waved her hand: "You are full, why are you just eating this? I have a lot of meat at home, so I will give you some."

"Don't do that. There's an egg inside. It tastes good to me." Fengfeng scooped out the egg with chopsticks and showed it.

"Take your time to eat. I'll go back first. If you have any trouble with food or drink, feel free to come to me." Li Yingtang sympathized with the other party and took the initiative to promise.

Fengfeng had adjusted her mood and smiled: "It's not difficult. I can't send you off. Dahe, can you send you off?"

"No, no." Li Yingtang left Fengfeng's house and walked back along the village road.

There was a faint knocking sound in my ears.

If you listen carefully, it sounds like opera.

Is there anyone in the village who has set up a stage to celebrate a birthday?

Why haven’t you heard of it?

She followed the sound and found that there was a noise at Old Man Cheng's house.

His house had no yard, and there were several layers of people surrounding the door.

I heard from nearby villagers that Old Man Cheng was possessed by evil spirits. He screamed every night and said there was a ghost on the window.

The two brothers of the Cheng family were so annoyed that they joined forces to ask a great wizard to exorcise the evil spirit for them.

The wizard said that the other person was possessed by an evil spirit and needed to be steamed in a pot.

I saw Old Man Cheng being forced into a wooden barrel with the lid closed, leaving only his head exposed.

Below was a large iron pot with a pile of dry firewood next to it.

"Help, help."

Old man Cheng screamed.

The villagers were just busy joining in the fun and no one helped him.

The mage waved his peach wood sword and chanted something, and when someone lit the fire, Li Yingtang ran away in fear, and at the same time he pulled Wu Hong away: "Hurry up and tell the village chief to take charge of the situation. Make a big deal out of a small deal. If it's too late, it will get out of hand and someone will call the police. The village chief will be the first to suffer, and we will probably have to find a new village chief. Your brother-in-law might even lose his job as a teacher."

Wu Hong was shocked: "Is exorcising an evil spirit so serious?"

"Who prepares so much firewood for exorcism? It's enough for stewing meat. I dare not watch, and I can't stop others from watching." Li Yingtang shirked his responsibility, separated from Wu Hong, and slipped back home into his room.

Old man Cheng is dead this time!

She picked up a random book from the shelf to pass the time.

Just after turning two pages, the door was pushed open and Qin Xian appeared and said, "Did something happen in the village? Why are you so flustered? I heard a commotion outside. Is there someone dying in a family?"

Li Yingtang: "." The village only has dead people singing opera, she was panicking? "Old man Cheng was possessed by evil spirits, his two younger brothers asked a shaman to help exorcise the evil spirits from him. Didn't you tell me not to be superstitious? So I watched for a while and came back."

"Yes, we should not be superstitious." Qin Xian was very relieved that he had finally corrected his bad habits. "What book are you reading?"

Li Yingtang: "How the Steel Was Tempered."

Qin Xian nodded slightly, not bad! His thoughts have made great progress. He sat next to her, and she immediately leaned on his arms like a boneless person. Her hands were not idle either. When she was not turning the pages of the book, she would gently pinch his knuckles for fun.

"Tangtang, do you smell a strange smell?"

"What's that smell?" Li Yingtang turned his neck left and right and smelled himself. Could it be that he smelled of paper ash from burning paper in the morning?
Nothing.

There was only a faint smell of perfume. Qin Xian: "It's not from you. I can't tell whether it smells or not, or whether it smells or not."

"Why didn't I smell it? Did I step on poop? And did it mix with the perfume on my body?" Li Yingtang bent down again to pick up his shoes. The soles of his shoes couldn't be said to be spotless, but at least he didn't step on any poop.

"Xiao Qin, Xiao Qin."

The village chief outside hurriedly called for help, and Qin Xian stepped out: "Uncle, what's the matter?"

“Hey!” The village chief gritted his teeth in hatred and immediately pulled Qin Xian away. “Cheng Erde and Cheng Xiaode are two idiots. They hired a shaman to perform a ritual and they actually steamed old man Cheng. He was just brought out and he won’t wake up no matter how we call him. We don’t know if he’s dead or not. Come with me and take a look.”

Fortunately, Mrs. Cheng informed him, otherwise his position as village chief would have been over.

"I'll bring a first aid kit." Qin Xian left.

Li Yingtang also smelled the smell after a long time, a strange fragrant and stinky smell. Later he realized that it might be cooked by Old Man Cheng. There was a southeast wind today, and the health station was downwind.

So scary.

There are no patients in the health station and the residents nearby live far away.

The room was unusually quiet.

She was frightened by the occasional sound of firecrackers outside.

Her scalp was numb and she couldn't wait any longer, so she locked the door and went out, preparing to sit at Fengfeng's house for a while.

Fengfeng's family has boys and boys' urine to ward off evil spirits.

As soon as they reached the road, Wu Hong called her.

She turned and walked towards him: "How is Old Man Cheng?"

"Dead." Wu Hong's facial features twisted. "How miserable. You are wise enough to leave early. I didn't believe it and followed the village chief back to take a look. I vomited immediately. The skin on my hand fell off when someone touched it. I felt so sick. It's really unlucky during the New Year."

Li Yingtang: "." You come here to tell me these things, I don't think it's unlucky, right? "Have you caught the shaman?"

"The village chief had someone control him. After both parties discussed it, they offered to pay 150 yuan in compensation. That's the end of the matter."

Li Yingtang: "It's only 150 yuan, that charlatan got it cheap." He was so arrogant, and he must have done many evil things in private. Old man Cheng deserved to die.

"It's not a small amount. We farmers can't even save 150 yuan in a year." Wu Hong asked again: "Where are you going?"

"Just taking a walk around." Li Yingtang made an excuse.

"Come to my house and play." Wu Hong invited.

"Okay." Li Yingtang went to Wu Hong's house and visited Cheng Shi. Although Cheng Shi's talent was average, he was very obedient and did whatever he was told to do. He was teachable. She assigned him a lot of homework and then sat in the yard to chat with Wu Hong.

There is no custom of locking doors in rural areas, so women join them when they pass by.

Wu Hong was worried that the loud laughter would affect Cheng Shi's studies, so she used the excuse of going to Cheng Er's house to play cards and simply locked the door.

Li Yingtang followed along.

Cheng Er's house was filled with smoke and there were three tables, where people played mahjong, pai gow, and poker.

The stakes are high.

Liu Lirong's fiancé Qian Gang was also there, with a pile of cash in his hand.

There are probably about sixty or seventy of them scattered around.

Li Yingtang glanced at the other person with curiosity. This man seemed to have good fortune. After carefully examining his appearance, he found that his nose was very big, a typical lion nose.

One of his grandfather's friends had a nose like this.

No matter what you do, your financial luck is surprisingly good.

But he was also fickle and cruel. His original wife was killed early on, and the woman he kept outside was at least thirty years old, if not fifty.

Qian Gang looked up at this time and saw Li Yingtang. He saw that the other party was staring at the money in his hand with a distracted mind.

It turns out that there is no woman who doesn't love money.

I estimated that I could easily get the person by paying over a hundred dollars.
