Chapter 42 Attitude Change

  "No, I won't," said Hua Gu, shaking her head. "But my mom will."

  "Oh, will she be able to dispel the evil then?"

  "Heh heh, the curse you put on yourself can be lifted, but if someone else puts a curse on you, it's not necessarily so, depends on the situation."

  "Oh," I thought of telling her about my sister's situation, to see if her mother could help, but the words stuck in my throat. My sister's life was at stake in these few dozen hours, and if they couldn't help, wouldn't it just delay things and put my sister in greater danger?

  I shifted the conversation and asked her about Hua Jinlan. As soon as she heard the name, she immediately furrowed her brow and spoke with great caution. In the end, except for raising wasps in the mountains, nothing else came out of it, exactly the same as what Ah Li told us.

  I let out a long sigh and looked up at the sky, who can tell me how I can save my sister!

  Wang Jue patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't lose heart, there must be a way. The thing that happened last night, someone will come to investigate, let's see what happens then."

  Just then, a group of people came chattering from outside the yard. As they drew closer, it was the village head, leaning on his cane, who was in the lead - speak of Cao Cao and he appears.

  "What's going on here last night?" He said, pointing at us sitting on the threshold with his crutch. This posture was extremely annoying.

  I held back my anger and said: "I don't know the specifics, but it seems that person crawled out of the coffin, took a sickle and hacked everything to pieces."

  "Hmm," he put down his cane and thought for a few seconds before asking, "Was there anything unusual that happened in the mourning hall earlier?"

  When I heard this question, Wang Jue and I both felt a chill at the same time. This tone, could it be that something similar had happened before?

  I carefully recalled the scene at that time, Wang Jue was feverish and drowsy, I sat beside him, what made me look out of the door?

  A raccoon dog! That's right, a raccoon dog! At the time, I was wondering if the raccoon dog would bring food, and when I looked out the door, a black cat suddenly appeared. Then, Scarface stood up.

  "A black cat jumped across the hall. After that, the old man in the coffin stood up."

  "Black cat!" The crowd suddenly buzzed. Wang Jue and I exchanged another look of surprise.

  "Quiet," the village chief raised his hand, signaling everyone not to speak. "You two come to my house, Hua Gu will clean up here, and tonight a few people will go with me to the mountain to find Hua Jinlan." After finishing speaking, the village chief walked out of the crowd with his cane, and I followed behind him with Wang Jue, with everyone's eyes fixed on us.

  Out of the yard, turned a few corners, and arrived at the village chief's house. At first glance, it was a wealthy family, with two stone lions standing outside the door, three small Western-style buildings standing inside the gate, loofah vines crawling all over the wall, and a cherry tree stretching out its branches full of fruit beyond the wall. Such a beautiful villa would sell for 30 or 40 million in Shanghai.

  "Dad..." As soon as they entered the yard, a little girl ran towards them and threw herself into the village chief's arms.

  Wang Jue burst out laughing. I took a look and couldn't help but laugh too, it turned out that Ali's father was the village head. You can't tell from his appearance, this old man in his seventies still has such a young daughter. Well, nowadays it's popular for older men to marry younger women, and for children and grandchildren to be around the same age. Men should wait until they're forty to find a twenty-year-old wife, then they'll be able to afford a villa as beautiful as this one in front of us.

  The village chief patted Ah Li's head, propped himself up with his cane and crouched down with difficulty, saying: "Dad wants to talk to the two uncles for a while, you go out and play for a while."
