"Yes, my mother asked me to talk to you alone." Daya knew that Li Xiaoxiao was a little reserved, so she glanced at Li Huawen after she said that.
Li Xiaoxiao understood and asked Li Huawen to wait for her in front.
After Li Huawen walked away, Daya thought for a moment before speaking softly, "My mother woke up last night and overheard grandparents talking to the witch. The witch said that you were possessed by a thousand-year-old fox demon, which is why you did so many things. She also said that she would perform a ritual to capture you. My mother asked me to tell you so that you can quickly come up with a solution."
Li Xiaoxiao was quite surprised about the news brought by Daya. She thought that the Li family just wanted to make a doll for her to curse her and vent her anger, but she didn't expect that they would even invite a witch. The ancient people believed in such strange and supernatural things, and would think of this as the cause of any bad things.
As a new type of person in the 21st century, she did not believe these things before, but after she traveled through time, she began to doubt that perhaps there really were some unexplainable things in the world.
However, based on the fact that the witch hired by the Li family was possessed by a fox demon, Li Xiaoxiao concluded that she was a charlatan.
After saying that, Daya left in a hurry. She had sneaked out in the morning while everyone was still asleep. Given the current relationship between Li Xiaoxiao and the Li family, if the Li family saw her, they would not forgive her when she returned.
The only person in the Li family who is good to Li Xiaoxiao is Su. Last time she made a big fuss in the Li family, Old Lady Li asked her two sons to beat her. It was Su who pulled Third Uncle's clothes to stop him from doing it. Today it was Su who asked Daya to come and report the news. Li Xiaoxiao will remember this favor in her heart.
Li Xiaoxiao was still doing her job as usual, as if nothing had happened. When she returned, Sun had already prepared the meal. Their family usually had millet porridge in the morning, but this morning they had white flour pancakes. At her repeated and strong requests, their family's food intake had improved dramatically, and they would occasionally have the brown rice they had when the family split up.
After dinner, Li Dahai weaved bamboo baskets. The bamboo baskets were big and took up a lot of space, so the finished ones were temporarily placed in the storage room of Aunt Wang's house. Li Ruolan and Sun made clothes, and the remaining cloth was used to make shoes. Li Huawen continued to write. He could write many of the words on the paper, and his writing was pretty good. Only Li Xiaoxiao was idle and had nothing to do. She had originally planned to go up the mountain today, but knowing that the witch would come, she had to wait for her at home.
Sun didn't know the truth and was quite happy. She ran outside every day and didn't look like a girl at all.
Li Xiaoxiao waited and waited, and when she was about to fall asleep, it finally came.
"Witch, this is it." Li Laosi's rough voice came from outside the door, with a hint of excitement in his tone.
Sun was not careful and the needle pricked her finger. She didn't care that her finger was still bleeding and looked at Li Dahai in panic. Li Dahai stopped what he was doing and looked at Li Xiaoxiao inquiringly.
Li Xiaoxiao knew what they were here for, and stood up calmly, "It's okay, I'll go out and take a look."
"Her father, what do you think happened?" Sun asked anxiously. She was still frightened by what happened yesterday and her wounds were still hurting. It had only been one night, so why did it happen again? Why couldn't the Li family let them live in peace for a few days?
"Xiaoxiao is here, it's okay." Li Dahai had no choice but to comfort her.
Li Huawen threw away the small wooden stick in his hand, snorted, and stood up to chase Li Xiaoxiao.
As soon as Li Xiaoxiao went out, he saw an old lady who was about fifty years old. She was wearing a yellow Taoist robe covered with various patterns, a Taoist hat, holding a dustpan in one hand and a peach wood arrow in the other.
While Li Xiaoxiao was looking at her, she was also looking at Li Xiaoxiao. This girl had clear and sharp eyes, and seemed to be difficult to deal with. But since she was already here and the deposit had been received, going back at this time would damage her reputation as a fortune teller, so she had to bite the bullet and go on.
Li Laosi, who was standing behind the witch, had a smug look on his face and was holding a cloth bag in his hand. It looked like he was performing a ritual for her and collecting her props.
It's probably around nine o'clock now and there are not many people on the street.
"Li Dahu, what are you doing here again? You kowtowed to my mother yesterday, but it was not enough. Are you here to continue today?" Li Xiaoxiao pretended not to know. When there was no one around, she didn't call her Fourth Uncle anymore. Instead, she called him by his name, mocking him coldly.
"Hmph, you fox demon, how dare you possess my niece? See, the person in front of you is the most powerful witch in the county, and I'm here to take you down today." Mentioning what happened yesterday, Li Laosi was so angry that his teeth were itching. This bitch made him lose face in front of the whole village. He went to the county yesterday afternoon and invited a witch overnight.
Li Xiaoxiao sneered. She had seen many charlatans on TV before. Their attire was not much different from this one. They were all trying to cheat people out of their money.
The Li family can all see that she is different from before. I wonder if her family members have noticed it too.
Li Huawen, Li Dahai and Sun went out one after another. As soon as they went out, they heard Li Laosi say that Li Xiaoxiao was possessed by a fox demon.
"My second sister is not like that." Li Huawen was the first to stand up. He had seen witches perform rituals before, and they would cause people to bleed to death. He had a deep impression of this. He liked his second sister now, and she was definitely not a fox demon.
"What do you know, little kid? With her small body, she can hunt two wolves. She must be a fox demon." Li Laosi glared at him fiercely.
"Our Xiaoxiao is not like that. She has never done anything to harm others." Li Xiaoxiao has changed a lot recently, but Li Dahai thinks that's because she has grown up and become sensible. He is his own daughter, and he has watched her grow up since she was a child. If she was really possessed by a fox demon, he would not be able to tell.
Also, if it really was a fox demon, then it must be a good fox demon. If it weren't for Xiaoxiao, their family would have to sleep on the streets now, and they wouldn't have money to eat and build a new house.
Li Xiaoxiao was very happy to get the recognition from her family, and it was worth it for her to treat them as family.
The witch didn't care about all this and started to perform the ritual. Li Xiaoxiao didn't stop her. She wanted to see how the witch was going to catch this fox demon.
At this time, all the laborers in the village went to the fields, leaving only the elderly and children at home. When they heard that the Li family had invited a witch to perform a ritual, they spread the word and went to watch the fun.
"This old Li family is really evil. They want to torture their own child to death."
"That's right. It just ended yesterday and it happened again the next day."
"It's all about money. Seeing that Xiaoxiao's family is rich, they find ways to ask for money."
"She has worked hard to get it, so I can give it to her. Mrs. Li is thinking about good things every day."
Soon, the outside of Li Xiaoxiao's house was full of people again, chatting and gossiping. Those who arrived earlier heard Li Laosi say that Li Xiaoxiao was possessed by a fox demon, and when they thought about the abnormal behavior in recent times, they thought it seemed possible, otherwise the Li family would not have gone to so much trouble to invite a fortune teller. Everyone knows that hiring a fortune teller costs a lot of money.
Soon another voice was heard in the crowd, saying that Li Xiaoxiao was possessed by a fox demon who was specifically here to harm people. In the future, they should not get too close to her family, as the fox demon would suck people's lifespan.
