"Master?"

I called out, but Master ignored me. Just as I wanted to call out again, I heard snoring sounds.

Feeling somewhat helpless, I walked over and sat down on a chair. I knocked on the table with my hands. "Master, you are up!"

"Mm …" Ah … "What?!" "Ah, you brat, you're back?"

Why can't such a powerful person dress up like an expert? In response to my master's question, I just leaned over the table and said, "Yes."

Master suddenly sat up and said to me, "Is the matter with Xiao Wu related to you? Everyone in the village is looking for Xiao Wu, and when they returned, they found that you were no longer there. I went to take a look at the boxes under the bed, and discovered that everything was gone.

"You aren't even worried about the safety of your disciple. Why are you sleeping here?"

After taking away so many talismans, even if I have to throw them all at you, it would be enough to ensure your safety. I'm worried about what you're doing, and you're my disciple. His Master said indifferently.

Then he asked me where I'd been and what had happened. To make it look like this.

I told him everything from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain,

After listening to my words, Master first praised me a few times, then touched his chin, as if he was talking to himself or to me.

"According to what you said, there are not only ghosts on the mountain, there are also monkeys that have become refined, and the fog that has not dissipated for years. Although I know that there must be something on the mountain, but Master doesn't like to mess around. As long as the things on the mountain don't harm people, I won't destroy them."

"One must know that in every place where strange beasts come from, heavenly materials and earthly treasures will be born. Moreover, I estimate that there will be even more things inside the fog. I will also go and take a look whenever there is a need."

No matter what Master thought, I would rather die than go. I don't want to go even if there's a gold mine on the mountain.

After putting all the fellows on the table, I went to the back room to take a bath. After coming out, Master was still sitting in his teacher's chair, but beside him was an extra bowl of noodles and two eggs.

I didn't hesitate and started to eat.

"Master, have you settled your matters?" While I was eating, I asked Master if he had been called away by that person. After returning, he said that it was rather troublesome.

The master shook his head. He told me that he had not, but that he had a clue. He came back this time to ask me to go with him.

I hurriedly begged Master to spare me, saying that I really couldn't take it anymore. Today's trip was truly tiring, so I had to rest properly for two days.

My master said, "You can go to bed after lunch and leave with me tomorrow morning." That's all I've got to say back.

Maybe it was because I was so tired today that I fell asleep as soon as I touched the bed.

The next day, he was woken up by the knock on the door. He looked at the time and saw that it was after 7. In the countryside, which was near the end of the year, most of the time, there was not much work done.

To my surprise, Master didn't get up either. I quickly put on my clothes and yawned as I went to open the door.

Who would have thought that it would be Xiao Wu's mother, Dongmei's and Dongmei's mother, who was carrying bags and bags of things.

"My two aunts, what are you doing?"

At this time, Master also came out, so I told them to enter the room first.

After talking for a while, I realized that I was here to thank me. He said that if it wasn't for me yesterday, perhaps Xiao Wu would really have had a bad situation. This year is coming, if something were to happen to Xiao Wu, no one would be able to bear the consequences.

He was carrying beef and sausages.

His master did not stand on ceremony and accepted them all.

Fortunately, his master had already stayed here for a long time, and everyone here was quite familiar with his master. They knew that although he didn't usually bother to mess with them, he was indeed a capable person.

After they left, I looked at my master with a face full of smiles, and asked my master, Xiao Wu, what happened to him?

I didn't expect my master to turn around and ask me if I knew where the "three things happen" came from. For what son of a bitch does it have to be called "three bad things"?

How am I supposed to know?

The master chuckled and said to me, "Take note of the scented wax that you burn every day." After saying that, he went back into the house.

I stood there thinking for a while before I realized what was going on.

The tradition of burning incense wax to the deceased had always been to burn three sticks of incense and two pieces of wax. Wasn't three sticks of incense and two pieces of wax just like that? So there was actually such an argument!

At this time, Master had already packed his things and walked out. He said to me, "Let's go!"

"You don't need to eat?" I was a little puzzled. No matter how anxious I was, I had to finish my meal.

"This is the rule. If we go to someone else's house to help them with their work, then we have to go to someone else's house to eat breakfast. First, we have to eat, which is to say that we will do our best."

I said "Oh" and followed him.

Master told me that the Lotus Village is rather big, and that the household is at the edge of the village, so if we walk this way, I think we'll have to walk for around ten to twenty minutes.

I asked Master what kind of things he had not done well in the past few days.

The master said that the daughter of the family got pregnant before getting married, and then went to the hospital to beat up the child. Unexpectedly, after coming back from the hospital, the daughter became sick, and had been sick for more than half a year.

For some reason, he blurted out a question, asking if his master was that child?

The master looked at me admiringly and said I was not bad, and now he knew what I was thinking.

But I'm very curious. According to the general knowledge of ghosts that my master told me, although this kind of infant's soul is very resentful, it shouldn't be that troublesome for my master. I explained my doubts to my master.

The master sighed and told me that that was the problem. Every time he went, the ghost child would run away, and as soon as he left, the ghost child would go back to pestering his mother.

I was a little curious and asked the teacher, this child should be just a baby, how could he be so smart?

His master said that this was what he suspected the most, and he had a very bold guess in his mind. However, he couldn't immediately confirm it, so he didn't tell me.

I couldn't be bothered to ask. I only came to this house when I was talking along the way.

The first thing he felt was: The house was so beautiful!

Compared to our He Family Village, every household is considered rich, but this family's house can be considered pretty even in the entire He Family Village. In the two story house, there are even white flowers and tiles affixed to the house.

After we arrived, the family immediately came out to welcome my master, and continuously told me: "Dr. Li, you have finally come."

My master asked the middle-aged man, "Brother, is your niece getting better in the next two days?"

"Sadly, my daughter told me that I can sleep peacefully during the next two days. At the very least, I have to keep having nightmares."

At this moment, I sized up the middle-aged man. He seemed to be about the same age as my master, which was why my master used the term "brother" when he was of the same generation as him. His face was also filled with the same kind of sickness and exhaustion, but it was also true that no matter which family's daughter was from, they would all be worried.

According to the rules, no matter how anxious I was, I still had to eat a little. When I was at home before, besides the New Year, I had never really eaten anything so good.

After a hasty meal, Master and I went to his daughter's house under the guidance of the middle-aged master.

As soon as I entered, I felt a familiar aura pouncing on my face. There's such a dense yin aura, it would be weird if I didn't get sick just by staying here!

There was a pale woman lying on the bed. She must be his daughter.

There was a young man in black sitting on the edge of the bed, as if he were taking care of this woman, and I was sure that he was the one who had hired my master.

But I'm also curious. Isn't it rumored that this woman got pregnant without getting married? Then who is this man? Judging from the way he was holding onto the woman's hand all this time, their relationship shouldn't be ordinary!
