You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

"Lao Zhang? Which Lao Zhang?"

Old man Su hasn't reacted yet.

"Zhang the butcher in town. Oh, don't ask. Where's Ah Chen? Is he home?"

Su Chen walked to the door with the cloth bag and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm here. Have you fished the person out?"

"I fished him out, but he just passed out. No matter how hard I squeezed him, he wouldn't wake up."

She led the way and explained the situation hurriedly.

"Originally, we were planning to slaughter the New Year pig on the 26th, but Ah Xiu got into trouble and Xiao Jun escaped, so we had to postpone it. Unfortunately, Dad received an urgent task, and we helped to take notes. We were too busy, so we had to postpone the slaughter until today..."

"It was such a mess when we were slaughtering the pigs that we didn't even know when Old Zhang's grandson Xiaoguang went to the dry toilet. It was Aunt Liu next door who discovered it when she went to use the dry toilet. We don't know how long he'd been there..."

"Tell me, it's New Year's Day, why are you so restless? Old Zhang is really something, why would he take care of his grandson after killing a pig? It's such a long mountain road so early in the morning..."

Su Chen didn't say a word.

Almost every household in Niuwei Village has a dry toilet, usually located next to the backyard, and some households sometimes have theirs built in a row.

Dry toilets are made by digging a pit, covering it with wooden boards, leaving a gap in the middle, and hanging a curtain in front to block it.

The gaps are big and small, the big ones can be as wide as 20 to 30 centimeters, mainly to prevent people from pulling on the wooden board when going to the toilet.

A gap of twenty to thirty centimeters wide may not matter to adults, but children can easily fall into the pit if they are not careful. Therefore, in their home, old man Su would rather let his children squat on the toilet at home.

When Su Chen hurried over, everyone had already washed Xiaoguang clean with hot water, stripped him of his clothes, and wrapped him in a blanket.

The man woke up after pinching his philtrum, but his eyes were dazed and he looked dull, not speaking a word.

When Zhang the butcher was anxiously asking his grandson to speak, Hu Shiliang saw Su Chen coming and hurried to greet him.

"Achen, come and take a look, why is he awake but silent?"

After the previous incident of treating Ah Xiu's heavy bleeding, the people of Niuwei Village still had great confidence in Su Chen's medical skills and made way for him one after another.

Butcher Zhang was also pulled up by Hu Shiliang.

Su Chen felt Xiao Guang's pulse, frowned for a moment, then relaxed, and smiled at them: "It's nothing serious, the child was frightened and lost two souls. I'll go get him."

Butcher Zhang listened to his calm voice, and for some unknown reason, his anxious heart gradually calmed down.

But he frowned again soon, looking at Su Chen who was going to the dry toilet with others, and asked Hu Shiliang in a low voice: "No, no, if you lose your soul, don't you just call it back?"

Hu Shiliang was also confused.

He shook his head.

“I really don’t understand this.”

"But Ah Chen is really capable, so it's right to listen to him."

Butcher Zhang nodded.

When Su Chen arrived at the dry toilet, he noticed a familiar smell.

After a closer look, he laughed: "Zi Gu?"

A human figure slowly emerged from a ramie leaf that was sticking out of the dry toilet.

"I realized someone was in danger and rushed over, but it was too late. The child had already fallen."

Su Chen nodded: "No wonder."

Generally speaking, falling into such a dry toilet is not only dangerous but also may lead to suffocation.

Zi Gu's divine power was limited, so she should have tried her best to protect Xiao Guang.

only……

It seems that a lot of divine power has been consumed, and Zi Gu's figure looks a little weak.

Thinking that he still had to rely on Zi Gu to contact Brother A Yu, Su Chen generously passed on some of his merit power.

Zi Gu bowed and pointed to a stone next to the dry toilet.

"Two souls are here!"

Dao power gently wrapped up Xiao Guang's two souls, and Su Chen nodded to Zi Gu: "Happy New Year!"

"Thank you~"

Zi Gu's figure slowly disappeared.

Su Chen quickly returned to Hu Shiliang's yard holding the two souls.

After the two souls safely entered Xiaoguang's body, Xiaoguang first blinked his eyes, and then began to struggle violently.

"Ah!"

He was digging with all his limbs, probably thinking he was still in the dry toilet.

Su Chen slapped another calming talisman on Xiaoguang.

The six or seven-year-old child finally calmed down.

Butcher Zhang's heart tightened and then relaxed, and he looked at Su Chen anxiously: "Xiaoguang..."

"The two souls have returned, but they were frightened after all. For the next period of time, don't take the children out to play with firecrackers or anything like that. Rest well at home. Adults can accompany them when they are free. They will recover soon."

Butcher Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Also, Xiaoguang fell for quite a while. If it weren't for Zi Gu protecting him, he would have died long ago. Remember to pay your respects to Zi Gu and express your gratitude."

When he said this, not only Zhang the Butcher was stunned, but the other onlookers were also dumbfounded.

"Zi Gu? Who is that?"

Su Chen heard someone whispered, "They say they're offering sacrifices, but could it be someone who died in Niuwei Village earlier?"

Su Chen: “!!!”

Thinking about how remote Niuwei Village was, he patiently explained, "Zi Gu is the toilet god."

He then instructed Zhang the butcher on how to offer sacrifices and then stood up.

"Uncle Liang, I'll go back first if I'm alright."

How could Hu Shiliang let him go back empty-handed? He hurriedly pulled him aside and stuffed a red envelope into his pocket.

Finally, she patted his shoulder and said, "Achen, today is so much thanks to you. If something had really happened, I'm afraid I wouldn't have a good time this whole year."

But it's not just him.

At this moment, the owner of the dry toilet, Hu Shiliang's second uncle Hu Ming, also breathed a sigh of relief.

If someone really died in the dry toilet, he would definitely have to pay compensation.

Luckily fortunately!

As for the red seal of thanks...

Didn’t Aliang give it to me? If he gave it to me, it would be the same as if he gave it to me!

Su Chen accepted the red envelope and walked back. He hadn't taken two steps when he heard the child's aggrieved voice behind him: "Wuwuwu~ Grandpa, I was scared to death!"

There was also a rough soothing voice: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoguang!"

Then there was a "pop" sound.

"Wow~"

"You still dare to cry? Did grandpa tell you? You should tell me when you need to go to the toilet? Grandpa will go with you, where are your ears?"

"Old Zhang, Old Zhang, stop twisting the child's ears. Don't scare him again after he's just recovered!"

"I'm really going to be scared to death by this kid..."

Su Chen raised the corner of his mouth, and instead of going home, he walked to Chunming Street.

Arriving at the public restroom again, Su Chen smiled at Old Yu and said, "Uncle Yu, let's go. I'll write some Spring Festival couplets later. Can you bring back a pair?"

Old Yu was stunned: "You can also write Spring Festival couplets?"

Then he quickly packed up and followed Su Chen to the hardware store.

There are already two tables in front of the store.

Wang Haitao held a brush and a book and squinted his eyes.

Ah Biao said disdainfully: "Are you capable of this? It's just a dozen words, and you spent so long reading it."

"I, I'm just afraid of making a typo. Don't rush me, don't rush me!"

Kong Aichun noticed Su Chen coming and hurried over to push Wang Haitao aside: "Xiao Su, hurry up, I've been waiting for you!"

Aunt Li and A Kui, who were helping to cut the red paper, also smiled at Su Chen.

Wang Haitao was unhappy: "Hey, hey, hey, can you at least give me some face?"

“I can really write~”

Su Chen jokingly snatched the book from his hand: "Can I see it?"

"Hey, I bought this overnight..."

"Forget it, forget it. I'll start writing now."

A Biao originally wanted to watch the show, waiting for Wang Haitao to put pen to paper...

Huh?

Also, it’s really well written.

It's just... it seems to be similar to the words in the book.

Su Chen also noticed that Wang Haitao was copying the font from the book.

He shook his head, picked up the pen and dipped it in ink.

Kong Aichun was leaning on the table and watching.

"Spring has returned, and all things are revived. Blessings and joy abound in the world..."
