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

"What purple?" Aliang was curious.

The old man was more concerned: "Will it affect Zheng's eyes?"

"I'll try to be careful when I smoke," Su Chen said, looking at A Zheng, "If you feel uncomfortable later, just let me stop, understand?"

"Okay uncle."

The old man nodded in relief when he heard this.

Aliang opened his eyes wide, but only saw Su Chen's right hand fingers move slightly.

He sighed helplessly.

As expected, I still can’t see anything.

Quietly retreating to the door, he stuck his head out and looked out at the street.

Although one of the parties involved in the incident was sent to the police station and three were sent to the health center, there were even more people on the street, all whispering to each other.

Aliang hesitated, walked out, and approached the three people closest to him.

"Who is A-Lin's wife having an affair with? Do they have any children?"

The three of them looked at him carefully.

"Oh, I'm from Liangshan Town. I came here to play. I'm curious."

"No wonder they look unfamiliar. Where are those two children? They used to seem to have a good relationship, but now...tsk tsk, I wonder if those two children are A-lin's."

"Really? You don't know, they started fighting at home early this morning. It's New Year's Day. It's unlucky to live next door to them..."

……

As they were chatting, one of them looked at Aliang again.

"What are you doing in our Lingtou?"

Ah Liang said bluntly: "I came with my uncle to find that crow-mouthed brat."

When they heard about the crow's mouth, the three of them immediately became alert and stopped getting close to Aliang. They subconsciously moved away and glanced at the dilapidated hut again.

"Your uncle... is in there?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"How long were you with him, young man?"

A Liang: “???”

"Not... long. I just went over there to watch the fun."

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

One person warned: "Don't spend too much time with him. He's a jinx. I'm telling you, if you walk past him, you'll either fall, or have things thrown at you, or get hit by bird poop."

"If you stay with him for too long, you'll be in big trouble!"

Ah Liang blinked. "Is it possible that those people were destined to be unlucky?"

"What nonsense! How could a good person become so unlucky? It must be the influence of a jinx."

"That's right, his parents have calculated his fate and they say he is the reincarnation of a jinx."

"Really? How could you not want a guy with a penis like this?"

"I heard they didn't even buy me New Year's goods this year."

"Not only that, I heard they haven't given the old lady any money for a year."

A Liang: “…”

No wonder!

On New Year's Day, everyone wore new clothes, but the little kid was wearing old clothes.

What kind of parents are these?

A Liang didn't bother to gossip with others, turned around and walked towards the cabin angrily.

"Uncle, let me tell you..."

"Ah~"

The boy let out a slight cry. Aliang was stunned for a moment, then hurried in.

"Hey, little brat, are you okay?"

Ah Zheng covered his eyes with his hands, then rubbed them and put his hands down: "Uncle, it only hurts a little, I'm not afraid!"

The old man and Aliang both breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Chen also smiled and nodded, his eyes falling on the tip of his index finger.

There, a trace of purple aura was being tightly wrapped by the power of Taoism.

When the Taoist force touched, a strange feeling came.

Su Chen frowned, slowly closed his eyes, and felt carefully.

Seeing this, A Liang looked at the old man and said, "Old man, A Zheng's parents don't give you living expenses?"

The old man laughed dryly.

"Maybe... you forgot?"

"You can even forget this? You're not human!"

After a pause, he asked again: "How do you live?"

"I went to the market to help out this morning and didn't eat much, so why can't I survive?"

The old man smiled and said: "I have saved money for Zheng's education."

"What about his parents?"

Ah Zheng pouted: "I don't want mom and dad, I only want grandma."

He snorted softly, "My parents are going to bring bad guys to capture me and sell me for money. I don't like them!"

Ah Liang and the old man were both surprised: "...Huh?"

One asked "Is it true or not?" and the other asked "When?"

"At night," Ah Zheng added, "when it's very dark."

Su Chen opened his eyes and used his Taoist power to wrap the purple aura again.

After briefly exploring and touching it with the power of Tao, pictures emerged in his mind.

He was sure that had not happened yet.

This purple aura is indeed extraordinary.

It's a bit like divine power, with its own functions.

Thinking of a scene in those pictures, Su Chen frowned.

"Old man, your son and daughter-in-law will indeed come back in the evening."

The old man was stunned for a moment and laughed dryly: "They, really want to sell Ah Zheng? No, you can't be such a jerk, right?"

Ah Liang hesitated when he heard this and asked, "That's right, uncle. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. It's not that bad, is it?"

Meeting Su Chen's solemn gaze, he shut up.

The old man came to his senses and pounded the coffee table.

"What a sin! Ah Zheng is their own child, they simply..."

"You're worse than an animal!"

She pounded her chest and almost couldn't breathe.

Ah Liang patted him on the back and said, "Don't worry, old man. It hasn't happened yet."

The old woman recovered and said, "Yes, yes, it hasn't happened yet. Ah Zheng, let's not stay at home tonight. Grandma will take you out to hide for a while, okay?"

Ah Zheng practically shook his little head like a rattle: "Grandma, I don't want it!"

"If you don't want this child, you'll be captured and sold."

"Grandma isn't as strong as your parents, so she can't protect you."

"Be obedient, Ah Zheng!"

Ah Liang also followed suit: "That's right, little brat, just listen to your grandma and be good."

"No, they don't like me."

"And I can say grandma."

As soon as he said this, the old man paused, his shoulders drooped, and his eyes became red.

A Liang thought of the attitude of those people outside towards the little brat, hesitated for a moment, and turned to look at Su Chen.

"Uncle, how about..."

He thought about taking the kid back to Niuwei Village to spend the night.

People in Lingtou Town were worried that he was a jinx, but he was not afraid.

Su Chen shook his head.

"It's impossible to hide forever. It's better to have a permanent solution."

He looked at the old man and said, "Selling a child is illegal anyway. How about calling the police?"

The old man waved his hands hurriedly: "Don't report it, absolutely don't report it."

"Yeah, uncle, call the police. The kid's parents will probably be arrested too. It's New Year's Eve, how can we..."

Meeting Su Chen's gaze, A Liang touched his nose guiltily: "Well... calling the police is a good idea."

The old man pleaded with Su Chen anxiously: "I will take Ah Zheng and hide well. I won't let Ah Zheng be caught by them. Please don't call the police, okay? Please don't..."

Seeing that Su Chen didn't express his opinion, she said anxiously: "I only have one son. What should I do if he goes to jail?"

Ah Liang curled his lips: "Isn't that little brat also your grandson?"

"The palms and backs of your hands are all made of flesh, what do you know, young man?!"

A Liang: “…”

This is the truth, but I always feel something is wrong.

Su Chen stood up and smiled at the old man.

"Don't worry, we won't call the police."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and thanked him repeatedly.

Su Chen touched A Zheng's head and said, "Remember to hide well at night, okay?"

"Yeah, thank you, uncle."

After walking out of the cottage, Su Chen took A Liang to the stream in Niuwei Village.

Ah Liang kicked the small stone in frustration: "Uncle, are you really not going to call the police?"

"What if the brat really gets caught?"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows: "Don't worry, someone will take care of this matter even if you don't call the police."

A Liang: “???”

"Who?"
