Learn one small skill every day

Upon hearing this, the brother-in-law's expression clearly showed displeasure: "If my sister weren't disabled, would she even be interested in your family's conditions?"

Well, they've started to dislike each other.

Bai Miao watched the two bickering, all that was missing was a plate of melon seeds.

After much back and forth, both sides eventually compromised, agreeing that the woman could have a maximum of two children, and if she couldn't have a boy after that, then they would just let it go.

Bai's mother demanded that if both were girls, one of them had to be sold to the Liu family to cut their losses, as they couldn't afford to raise both.

After both sides reached an agreement, the brother-in-law left dissatisfied, seemingly to go home and report back.

Bai Miao felt that his main purpose in coming here was to confirm the extent of his illness and whether he would be able to support his family in the future.

If all of these are fine, then my own sister, who is disabled, can get married if she wants.

But my own mother is the real beast.

Bai Miao suppressed the urge to smash her with a brick and poured the now-cold tea outside the courtyard.

Chapter 210 Night Raid

After learning from Hu Muyao that the ghosts in this instance were real, Bai Miao became much more cautious.

Originally, I was thinking of trying to kill everyone in the village, or poison the reservoir.

Now Bai Miao had no choice but to abandon these ideas.

What if you poison someone to death today, and they turn into a ghost and come back for revenge tomorrow?

After the wedding arrangements were finalized, Bai's mother busied herself with farm work. Although she still reminded Bai Miao not to wander around, Bai Miao thought, "How can wandering around the village be considered wandering around?"

So Bai Miao came to Zhao Wanyang's house once again.

Dreams are absurd.

Bai Miao saw the grapes planted by Zhao Wanyang, which bore huge fruit in just one night.

Moreover, it was so large that Bai Miao felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Each grape was as big as a person's eyeball, but Zhao Wanyang didn't notice anything amiss and just grinned foolishly at the grapes under the trellis.

Upon seeing Bai Miao enter the courtyard, she exclaimed excitedly, "Look! Your method really works! This year's grapes will definitely be the best ever!"

"Where's your dad? Is he on duty at the reservoir?"

“He hasn’t come back since yesterday, but the village chief told me that my dad is fine at the reservoir, but there’s something he needs to take care of.”

Bai Miao asked with a serious expression, "Are you willing to believe what I'm saying now?"

"Believe me, I'll send you some when the grapes are fully ripe."

"Alright, there are some things I'll only tell you."

Bai Miao looked around, walked to the courtyard gate, and carefully closed it.

Seeing Bai Miao's mysterious demeanor, Zhao Wanyang's curiosity was piqued, and she pressed him for details, asking, "What's going on? Is there any gossip in the village we can hear about?"

“I see a dark look on your face; your father may be in danger soon.”

Zhao Wanyang was displeased: "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Shh... Keep your voice down, listen to me quietly."

Bai Miao pulled Zhao Wanyang to sit down under the grape trellis: "You know the Liu family in the next village, right?"

"Know……"

Upon hearing the name Liu, Zhao Wanyang visibly tensed up.

This family was notorious for its fierceness and intimidation throughout the surrounding villages.

“I’ve done the math. The Liu family has recently experienced a major upheaval, and it’s related to water. Your father works as a security guard at the reservoir, so he’s probably involved as well.”

"what?"

Zhao Wanyang almost cried out in surprise, but Bai Miao quickly covered her mouth: "Didn't I tell you to keep your voice down? We can't let others know that we know this. I painstakingly calculated this."

"You...when did you learn all this?"

Bai Miao shook his head slightly: "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. Do you think I've been playing the fool all these years for nothing?"

Zhao Wanyang's gaze toward Bai Miao immediately turned one of awe.

These days, nobody dares to disbelieve these things.

Moreover, when the village chief informed Zhao Wanyang, she did indeed feel somewhat uneasy.

"Then...then what should I do?"

“You should pester the village chief to find out the situation. Your father is the only breadwinner in your family, so I think the village chief will understand your feelings. You can also mention from time to time that you want to go to the reservoir to check on your father’s condition, and then see how he reacts.”

Bai Miao thought for a moment and then said, "If the village chief reacts very strongly, just say that you dreamt last night that your grandfather appeared to you in your dream and told you to go and save your father. If anyone dares to stop you, he will go and find that person tonight."

To counter magic with magic, one must use corresponding arguments to make these villagers, whose minds are filled with supernatural beliefs, yield to their demands and even instill fear in them.

Are you scared if I send you a message in your dream?

Zhao Wanyang was silent for a moment, then asked, "Won't my grandfather be unhappy if I say this?"

"It's alright, I asked him for you. Your father is his son, why would he mind?"

"Oh……"

Zhao Wanyang was skeptical, but when she saw the thriving grapes above her head, she felt that Bai Miao had not lied to her.

After all, they've already provided such a good method.

"Then I'll...give it a try."

"Yes, remember not to tell anyone it was my idea. Whatever you know, it was your grandfather who told you in a dream."

"Okay, I understand."

Zhao Wanyang nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Oh, right... there's one more thing. If the village chief still stubbornly refuses to tell you the situation, then you should run around the village shouting your grievances to put pressure on him."

"That works too. I don't believe that if I shout a few more times, he won't tell me anything."

After the two discussed the details, Bai Miao emphasized that no one else should know that he had come, and then he pushed open the door and left.

After leaving Zhao Wanyang's house, Bai Miao's thoughts became increasingly clear.

Tu Shanqing once said that her server and Yar City are two completely different servers.

In other words, the guy who created the nightmare is very likely unaware of what's going on in the East.

It only constructed this nightmare world by borrowing the copy of Hu Muyao's spiritual body's memories, combining its own understanding, and adding a bit of my memories.

Therefore, it may not be clear about Chinese traditions and the possible consequences of various things.

Even if it can read some knowledge from my brain, it can't reproduce it well.

"Phew...maybe I should try that one..."

Bai Miao looked up at the mountain he had to cross to marry his future wife, and a vague idea formed in his mind.

It's time to add a touch of Chinese-style shock to this nightmare.

But Bai Miao must make the arrangements as well as possible.

Bai Miao chose to leave the village and head towards the mountain where his future wife's village was located.

Without the ability to observe qi, Bai Miao could only rely on his own two legs and visual inspection to make judgments.

"As expected, there's a big problem with this mountain."

Even from a distance, Bai Miao felt that the feng shui of this mountain was very strange.

Auspiciousness mixed with misfortune, and misfortune mixed with good fortune.

This mountain is actually formed by two mountains stacked together, with a small stream and a wide road between them.

But on the other side of the road are steep cliffs, and landslides have frequently occurred during heavy rain.

If Bai Miao possessed the ability to observe qi, he wouldn't have needed to go to such great lengths to come and investigate.

Fortunately, it was confirmed that this was the venue I wanted.

It takes quite a while to get here, and Bai Miao has to get home before noon, or he'll get another beating.

Bai Miao had just returned home when his mother walked in from the yard.

“I just saw you running around the village. Were you harassing other girls again? You’re about to get married, stop thinking about other girls all the time.”

After the marriage was arranged, Bai's mother became exceptionally friendly towards Bai Miao.

"I...I felt uneasy, like something bad was going to happen to someone in our village, so I went out to check..."

"You brat, how dare you say such things?!"

Bai's mother screamed, as if she had heard some extremely shocking information. She rushed forward, intending to slap Bai Miao across the face and even try to drag him down to his knees.

"Please don't be angry, everyone passing by. My son is having a mental breakdown and may have said something offensive..."

Bai Miao dodged the slap: "Mom, I'm not making this up. I was sleeping just now and I dreamt that a fox was talking to me."

"Oh my! You dare to say that!"

Bai's mother was almost in tears.

"Mom, don't worry, she taught me a lot. I'll show you if you don't believe me."

Based on his knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, Bai Miao quickly pointed out some problems with his mother's health after just a quick glance.

"Do you sometimes experience back pain when plowing, and it feels like the pain is spreading?"

"Yes! That's right!"

Mother Bai nodded quickly: "Son...you really met a deity?"

"Mom, the foolish things I've done over the years were tests from God. Now, God sees my potential and is willing to teach me something."

Bai Miao's words left Bai's mother stunned.

But she seemed to gradually realize that her son was indeed different from before.
