My lady, don't be angry. I'm letting you touch my big tail.

Joey immediately turned around.

Then someone ran out from not far away and shouted.

Believe it or not, that was one of the eight strange phenomena. If we could just wipe it out, that would be the third one to be done with.

Qiao Yi looked at Hua Ran and offered her a hand.

"Now, get up."

Hua Ran puffed out her cheeks, "I can't get up~ I twisted my ankle, my foot hurts~"

"Nonsense, I didn't twist it just now."

"You twisted your ankle when you fell! Look, look!"

Hua Ran poked one foot out of her white boot, revealing a slightly red and swollen, fair ankle.

Joey rolled her eyes, then squatted down and said, "Come here, I'll help you."

"Is it the kind of support where you can lean your whole body on your wife?"

Hua Ran spoke with great excitement.

Like a swaying flower.

Joey coughed, thinking to herself, "Why are you giving me so many hints?"

"Only half of your body can be pressed down!"

"Hmm~"

Hua Ran happily placed her hand on it.

All Joey wanted to say was, "Damn it, what a loss!"

It should be said that it's only one-third.

The system made a "hmm" sound in Qiao Yi's mind, as if it wanted to say something but then stopped itself.

It feels like Joey's standards are getting lower and lower.

The two arrived at a house not far away, and before they even went inside, they heard someone calling.

"I want to eat chicken, I want to eat chicken!"

"I'm going to bite all your chickens to death, bleed them one by one, and drink their blood! After I've killed them all, I'll bite your family members' necks!"

Hua Ran pouted, "I also like to eat chicken, but I only like to eat chicken legs. I don't like to eat the parts with lots of bones, and I don't like to drink the blood."

Joey immediately recognized what had hit the person inside.

weasel.

"Zhuangke" refers to the strange phenomena that occur when spirits or ghosts possess a living person.

Weasels are considered one of the most likely creatures in folklore to cause people to encounter misfortune.

As far as Joey knows, this thing is particularly annoying, especially towards birds.

In her previous world, there was a park where several pigeons and peacocks were kept. Somehow, a few weasels discovered it.

Even if the cage is installed with holes only the size of a finger, it won't stop the weasel.

At night, a lot of strange noises come from that place.

When the administrator went over to check, all the peacocks were dead.

Each one of them had a small cut made on their neck, leaving two bloody holes.

The older generation says that weasels have the ability to shrink themselves, no matter how small they are.

Think of this.

The people inside suddenly fell silent.

Qiao Yi helped Hua Ran into the courtyard of that family's house, and they heard the people inside making those "sniff sniff sniff" sounds.

"What's that smell, you vixen?"

Hua Ran was startled, and he took off his shoes and threw them into the doorway.

"Who are you calling slutty? I don't smell like that! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? You're the one who stinks, smelly and slutty. You'll knock yourself out from the stench tomorrow!"

"Get out of here quickly, let's keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other!"

Hua Ran spat disdainfully toward the door, her face instantly turning red.

He sniffed his sleeve on the left and his collar on the right.

"My lady, I don't smell. You've held me, I'm fragrant and soft, right?"

Joey was trying not to laugh.

Upon entering the inner room, one sees an old woman with disheveled hair, whose eyes are visibly developing into small, beady eyes.

There were several empty plates in front of her.

All that was left inside were chicken bones, and the old woman's belly was swollen and distended.

I'm afraid if I ate just one more bite, I would burst from overeating.

The obedient son next to her said, "Mom woke up this morning wanting to eat chicken, so I made it for her. But then she became really strange and scary. She made a 'crackling' sound and she was very strong. Usually, she can't even swing an axe because of her age, but this morning she carried a water vat and said that if anyone doesn't give her chicken, she'll smash them to death."

Upon hearing this, Joey realized that this was no ordinary bumper.

It's understandable that people satisfy their appetites through physical means, since it's rare to have a truly satisfying meal in everyday life.

But it's wrong to stuff the person you're possessing to death.

Most importantly, Qiao Yi looked at the old woman's face. She had a full forehead and thick, rosy ears, which indicated that she would live a long life. There was no black aura on her forehead.

The so-called black aura was not from the old woman herself, but from a weasel.

Joey then asked the obedient man, "Is your mother only like this today? Have there been any unusual occurrences in your house before?"

"Yes! Before, one of the chickens in front of my house would always be sucked dry. We knew it was a weasel, but we didn't want to offend it, so we took the chicken away. But recently, the vegetables we planted in front of the house have been chewed up, and there's always a knocking sound at night. When I open the door, there's nothing there, just... just..."

The man wanted to show the dead chicken to Joey.

Hua Ran bumped into Qiao Yi's shoulder and went ahead to meet her.

That means not allowing men to touch their wives' hands.

Joey looked Hua Ran up and down.

"Is your foot better?"

"Hmph, it has to be good even if it's not good. I can't give others a chance!"

Joey turned her head away and chuckled.

No one else would dare; they'd be terrified at the sight of Hua Ran.

Just then, the old woman suddenly started struggling on the bed, shouting, "I want to eat chicken! I want to eat chicken!"

She moved so violently that she broke free of the ropes and picked up a chopping block used for chopping vegetables, intending to hit someone with it.

Hua Ran quickly shielded Qiao Yi with her body.

Qiao Yi frowned, pushed Hua Ran away, and grabbed the old woman's wrist. As soon as the chopping block landed, Qiao Yi kicked it, and with a "thud," the chopping block crashed into the courtyard.

"Come out, all of you, come out!"

Qiao Yi pulled Hua Ran and the old lady's son outside.

Several villagers gathered around to watch.

Seeing that the old woman was about to break down the door, several strong women from the village went over to block the door.

"That's incredibly strong..."

The well-behaved man was so frightened that he burst into tears.

Qiao Yi glanced back at Hua Ran, her voice low and tinged with anger.

"I don't need your protection. Know your place!"

Hua Ran choked, her foxy eyes flashing with anger.

Joey ignored him and instead said to the villagers beside her, "There's no need to go to so much trouble to deal with weasels. Just bring two geese. Those things are attached to people now, and I don't want to hurt anyone."

A short while later, the two geese were indeed brought over.

Hua Ran wanted to be angry, so he ignored Qiao Yi and made Qiao Yi come over and beg him to talk to her.

As soon as he lowered his head, the goose fluttered at his feet, and Hua Ran screamed and jumped into Qiao Yi's arms.

She still had both legs raised, as if she wanted to be carried in a princess carry by Joey.

"My lady...take it away, take it away!"

Joey looked completely bewildered.

"A fox is afraid of a goose? No way..."

"I'm not scared, it's the stench! I hate smelly things! My lady, please take them away, take them away!"

Hua Ran wished she could squeeze her whole body into Qiao Yi's body.

Its tail was wrapped tightly around Joey's waist.

"Oh, okay, okay."

Joey ordered the geese to be chased away, and then said, "Now cordon off the surrounding exits. Make sure Grandma doesn't run out. Let her wander around this yard, understand?"

Soon, the door opened, and the old woman rushed out.
