I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life
Chapter 30: Fake Taoist Priest
After taking a shower, the clothes in the washing machine were washed. Xu Congyi took out the clothes and hung them directly on the small balcony. She looked at the clock in the space and it was about half past eight. It was still early, so Xu Congyi was too lazy to blow-dry her hair. Instead, she wiped it several times with an absorbent towel and sat on the sofa with her hair loose. After watching TV series for a while, she remembered that she hadn't applied a facial mask for a long time, so she ran back to her bedroom, found the mask from the drawer and applied it again.
Only then did Xu Congyi realize that the production date and expiration date on the mask packaging had all disappeared. She then looked for other packaged items in the house and found that they had all disappeared. It might be that the space felt that the existence of these dates was of little significance. After all, they were all renewable things. After being used up on the first day, they would be restored on the second day. It didn't matter whether there was a date or not.
Xu Congyi was adjusting the mask cloth in front of the mirror. The original owner looked pretty good, except that she was malnourished due to not eating because of illness, and she was short. However, after a month of recuperation, she has gotten much better. She has gained weight on her face and body, and has grown taller. At least she looks like a girl of twelve or thirteen years old, not less than ten years old.
He would sleep in the space tonight. After getting himself ready, Xu Congyi lay on his soft big bed, put one leg on his stuffed doll, and had a good sleep.
Because Xu Congyi had said in advance that she would sleep in the morning, there was no need to worry about the Xu family waking her up for breakfast. When Xu Congyi woke up, it was already past eight o'clock. In this era, basically every household woke up after six o'clock, so eight o'clock could be considered a late sleep.
Xu Congyi took the clothes she had washed last night and left the space, and washed up in the bedroom. She had prepared the water yesterday and placed it in the room, so she felt much more awake now. She then vaguely heard someone talking in the yard. Her elder and second brothers had gone to school and were not at home at this time. She could hear the voices of her grandparents, parents, and a man and a woman's voices she had never heard of before. After quickly washing up and changing her clothes, Xu Congyi pushed open the door and went out.
Seeing her granddaughter leaving the house, Xu's mother stood up and introduced her to the two of them with a smile, "This is my granddaughter."
Xu Congyi looked up and saw that the woman looked about the same age as his mother, but she was dressed a little better. She had a smile on her face and looked at Xu Congyi with gentle eyes. The man was dressed like a Taoist priest, and his small eyes looked Xu Congyi up and down, which made Xu Congyi feel very uncomfortable.
"Who are these two?" Xu Congyi asked.
"This person is mother's best friend before she got married. She lives in the county town now. She heard that you had recovered a few days ago, so she came to see you specially!" Li Dahua said "best" several times in a row, her tone rising with joy, "Just call her Aunt Zhao."
"Aunt Zhao," Xu Congyi called out obediently.
"Oh, how nice! We haven't seen each other for a long time. Yi Yi has grown into a big girl now. She looks so pretty!" Aunt Zhao took Xu Congyi's hand, looked left and right, and said with a smile, "Now the hardship has finally paid off and happiness has finally come to you."
"Cough cough" an untimely cough interrupted Xu Congyi and Aunt Zhao's reminiscing. Xu Congyi's intuition told him that this Taoist priest should not be a good person.
Hearing the Taoist's cough, Hunter Xu quickly stood up and introduced, "Yi Yi, this is Taoist Bai Hu. He just passed by our house and wanted to ask for a drink of water. I hurriedly invited you in. I just told the Taoist about your situation, and he said he wanted to meet you."
Ever since the last time the monk borrowed water and Xu Congyi recovered, the Xu family has been very hospitable to monks and Taoists passing by. They would not only boil water for them to rest and drink tea, but sometimes they would also bring them some food to take away. Xu Congyi was used to it, but it was the first time she met someone who specifically asked to stay and see her like he did today. Her intuition told her that there must be something fishy about this Taoist priest, but she did not show it on her face. Instead, she still greeted the Taoist priest politely.
"Master Baihu"
The Taoist priest did not respond. He stood up and walked around Xu Congyi twice in the forward direction and twice in the reverse direction. The Xu family and Aunt Zhao were all a little confused.
The Taoist suddenly stopped and said to the Xu family, "Suffering will eventually pay off? It's too early to say that. I tell you the truth, she is not your child."
Hunter Xu didn't understand what the Taoist meant. "This is my child, not someone else's. This is my daughter!"
The Taoist priest shook his head and said, "This body is your daughter, but the soul inside is not."
Xu Congyi was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the Taoist priest could see through her. She was thinking about how to explain the matter of "reincarnation" to the Xu family and Aunt Zhao when she heard the Taoist priest continue talking.
"Inside this body is a fox fairy who has practiced for a thousand years! This fox fairy took advantage of your child's illness, ate her flesh and blood, and stole her body. You still treat her as a treasure, but your child has already become a sacrifice for the fox fairy's practice!"
Xu Congyi was still thinking about how to explain to the Xu family, but after hearing what the Taoist said, he was speechless. This was a pure charlatan. He called him Taoist Baihu. He should be Taoist Hubai.
Li Dahua's reaction was even greater. He became restless from the moment he heard the first word "fox demon". When the word "sacrifice" was mentioned, Li Dahua simply picked up the broom next to him and swung it at the Taoist's face.
"Bah! I thought you were a real Taoist priest and treated you well, but I didn't expect you were a big liar!"
The Taoist priest didn't expect the Xu family to react like this. After all, when he said this to other families before, they were all very respectful to him and asked him to exorcise the evil spirits in their home. So the Taoist priest was also stunned and was directly hit by Li Dahua with a broom.
Xu Congyi admired his mother so much that he couldn't help but give Li Dahua a thumbs up.
But the Taoist priest still refused to give up after realizing what was going on, and shouted that he had a way to prove that Xu Congyi was a fox demon. The Xu family wanted to drive him out, but Xu Congyi stopped them.
"Let him check!" Xu Congyi shouted, "I want to see what you are capable of. You still dare to say that I am a fox demon!"
"Fox demon, don't be so arrogant. These mortals can't recognize you, but I can! I will expose you in a moment! Wait until I take you in! I will destroy your cultivation and see if you still dare to be so rampant!!" The Taoist was also furious. He had never been looked down upon by a yellow-haired girl before, and he kept saying cruel words.
The tone was quite loud, and Xu Congyi was also furious, "However you want to test me, I will accompany you to the end!"
The Xu family members standing by were a little anxious, but Aunt Zhao was very calm. She whispered a few words into Li Dahua's ear. Li Dahua suddenly realized what was going on and ran to Xu the Hunter to tell her husband what her friend had said. The Taoist priest did not notice that while he was arguing with Xu Congyi, Xu the Hunter had quietly left the courtyard.
