A jinx, me? But I bring good fortune to my whole family!

The air in the courtyard was instantly sucked out.

Everyone stopped breathing.

Those dozens of pairs of green eyes that shone in the darkness, carrying the chilling aura of hellfire, sent shivers down one's spine.

The villagers, who were just talking excitedly, were now too scared to utter a sound, not even daring to breathe, for fear that if they made a sound, those things would pounce on them.

Grandma Gu and Gu Jianping knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

They wanted to run, but their legs were weak and wouldn't obey them. They could only watch helplessly as more and more green lights appeared on the wall, and they were so scared that they almost peed themselves.

This...this old woman, she really attracted mountain spirits and monsters?

The only one still standing was Granny Wang.

Her face turned pale, and her hand holding the peach wood sword trembled slightly.

But she couldn't back down in front of the whole village! If she backed down, how would she ever make a living in this area again?

Granny Wang bit her tongue hard, the sharp pain bringing her back to her senses. She forced herself to stay awake, pointed the peach wood sword forward, and screamed at the top of her lungs with all her might.

"You audacious fiend! Seeing this fairy maiden here, you'd better retreat at once!"

Seeing that the green-eyed creatures didn't move, she grew bolder, thinking that her domineering aura had intimidated them.

"Hmph! You're smart enough to know your place!" Granny Wang puffed out her chest, swaggered around the courtyard, and began to gesticulate dramatically. "I've long seen the demonic aura emanating from above this house. Today, I've set up this altar to force all of you cowardly creatures out of hiding!"

"Look!" she said triumphantly, turning to the terrified villagers to show off her skills. "If it weren't for my powerful magic, would we have witnessed such a spectacle? These little devils are completely subdued by me!"

As she spoke, she brandished her peach wood sword and prepared to charge towards the top of the wall.

"I'll beat you all to a pulp today!"

The very moment she rushed out.

On the wall, those green eyes moved.

The lead one was noticeably larger than the others, with glossy fur.

It slowly jumped down from the wall and landed steadily in the yard.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, this enormous weasel actually stood up on its two hind legs, just like a human!

It stood straight, its two furry front paws clasped together, facing the direction of Gu Jianguo's new residence in the distance, and actually... actually bowed respectfully!

The movements were precise and devout.

The entire courtyard fell into dead silence once again.

Everyone is stupid.

The villagers rubbed their eyes hard, wondering if they were seeing things.

A weasel bowing to a person?

This...this is Wong Tai Sin manifesting his power!

Wang the fortune teller abruptly stopped halfway through her run. The smug look on her face froze instantly, her mouth gaped open wide enough to fit an egg, and she stood frozen in place, looking utterly comical.

Before anyone could recover from this unbelievable scene...

The weasel, which was standing upright, suddenly raised its head and let out a sharp cry towards the sky.

"squeak--"

That cry is the bugle call to charge!

On the wall, dozens of weasels moved in perfect unison, transforming into dozens of yellow shadows as they rushed into the yard from all directions!

"Ah! Here it comes!"

A timid woman let out a scream, causing a stir in the crowd.

Strangely, after these weasels rushed into the yard, they didn't even glance at the people around them. Their target was clear: Granny Wang, who was still standing there dumbfounded!

They don't bite or hurt people.

Yes, it bit into Granny Wang's incongruous robes and ripped them off!

"Sizzle—"

The sound of tearing fabric was particularly jarring in the quiet night.

Some of them jumped onto the table and tore all the yellow papers with scribbles and the props used to swindle money to shreds on the ground with their claws.

"My magical artifact!"

Wang the fortune teller finally came to her senses and let out a scream.

She frantically tried to save the weasels, but there were too many of them. As soon as she chased one away, another would pounce on her.

In no time, her elaborately mysterious robes were torn into several tattered pieces, hanging disheveledly on her body.

Just then, a dark shadow swooped down from the night sky!

Extremely fast!

Wang the fortune teller felt a sudden chill on the top of her head, and then the wig she had specially worn to pretend to be a hermit was precisely snatched away by a crow's claw!

The crow clutched the wig, circled once in the air, showing off its prize, and then let go of its wing.

The wig, spinning around, landed perfectly in the burning brazier in the middle of the yard.

A strong, acrid smell of burnt hair instantly filled the air.

And Granny Wang's bald head was completely exposed to everyone.

Not only was it bald, but it also had several unsightly patches of scabies, which shone brightly in the firelight.

"puff--"

In the crowd, someone couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of laughter filled the entire courtyard.

"Hahaha! Turns out he's bald!"

"A fortune teller, my foot! Her hair is all fake!"

"This isn't a shamanistic ritual, it's a monkey show!"

The villagers' laughter slapped Wang the fortune teller hard across the face.

Her face changed from white to red, from red to purple, and finally turned into a liver color.

The scam was exposed in public, and in such a socially disastrous way!

She couldn't hold on any longer. Her eyes rolled back, she screamed, threw down the peach wood sword in her hand, and scrambled out of the courtyard as fast as she could.

The villagers in the courtyard finally realized what was happening.

"See that?! Even Wong Tai Sin is bowing towards the third brother's house!"

"That's right! This isn't just the second son's family being haunted; it's clearly a divine intervention, sent to punish the people in this old house for their wickedness!"

"Serves them right! Let them cause more trouble! Even the Weasel God couldn't stand it anymore!"

"I think the Gu family is truly blessed! Even the mountain spirits protect them!"

Every word of these discussions reached the ears of Old Mrs. Gu and Gu Jianping.

Grandma Gu was so angry that she trembled all over, and her old face turned purplish-red.

Finished!

It's all over!

Their attempt to steal a chicken backfired, and now their old family home has become the biggest joke in the whole village!

Inside the house, Gu Jian'an, who already had a high fever and was being held down on the kang (a heated brick bed), was terrified when he heard the commotion outside and saw dozens of weasels rushing in.

He broke free from the two women holding him down and suddenly sat up on the kang (a heated brick bed).

His eyes were wide open, his pupils unfocused, staring straight ahead, and he was shouting incoherently.

"I was wrong... I'll never peek again... Don't bite me... I won't do it again..."

Before he could finish speaking, his eyes rolled back, his head lolled to the side, and he collapsed, completely unconscious.

"Second brother!"

"son!"

Gu Jianping and Grandma Gu exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Grandma Gu was both angry and anxious. Looking at the weasels all over the yard and the villagers pointing and whispering about her, a surge of anger rose to her head.

She suddenly grabbed a fire poker next to her, shakily got up from the ground, and swung it around to hit the weasels.

"I'll beat you all to death! You bunch of beasts! How dare you cause trouble in my house!"

She was acting like a madwoman.

But she was paralyzed and couldn't move herself. When she struggled to hit someone, she suddenly screamed, "Ouch!"

Grandma Gu fell flat on her back, her head hitting the ground hard with a thud.

She lay on the ground, struggling with her hands and feet for a long time, but she couldn't get up no matter what she did.

The yard full of weasels, having completed their task, quickly retreated and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

All that was left was a mess and an old hag lying on the ground, groaning.

The villagers watched this scene unfold, but not a single one stepped forward to help.

There was no longer any sympathy in their eyes, only undisguised contempt and schadenfreude.

Sin!

This is all retribution!

Just then, two blinding car headlights suddenly lit up from the direction of the village entrance.

A black Volga sedan slowly drove into the village and finally came to a steady stop in front of Gu Jianguo's new house.
