Transmigrated as the Villain Boss's Mother
14. The Arrogant Taoist Priest
After driving the oxcart into his own yard, Xu Daniu started thinking about what had happened to Xu Zhu that day. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he decided he had to go to Xu Zhu's house to check on him.
He happened to run into Aunt Xu Zhu and her group on the way. Good heavens, there were three of them, one carrying a hoe and the other a sickle, which gave him quite a fright.
When they arrived at Xu Zhu's house, Xu Daniu volunteered to be the first to push the door open and go in. He took the farm tools from Xu Zhu's hands, intending to catch the bad guys in the yard off guard and make a good impression on Xu Zhu, who was of the opposite sex.
As soon as he pushed open the door, before he could even lift his hand, he was splashed with a basin of warm, sticky stuff. Xu Daniu touched it and exclaimed, "Holy crap, it's dog blood!"
At this moment, the Taoist priest in the courtyard, who had two fake mustaches, was chanting incantations: "Laojun, by your command, appear!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Daniu was furious. He slapped the thin Taoist priest with his large, fan-like hand, sending him flying to the ground, where the priest coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Wang Chunhua, her son, and her daughter-in-law in the courtyard were all stunned by Xu Daniu's strength.
Xu Zhu entered the room and sneered. Her teeth itched with hatred; it was that crazy woman again. She hadn't even started anything, yet this troublemaker had already come looking for her.
"What's going on?" Xu Zhu asked, his tone a mixture of sarcasm and anger.
"It's like this, little sister, Mother thinks you might have been possessed by a demon these past few days. So she found a Taoist priest with profound magic to take a look at you," Xu Zhu's older brother said quickly.
Her sister-in-law pinched Xu Zhu's older brother, Xu Liang, her face full of smiles: "Little sister, it's nothing serious. Let the master take a look at you. This master is very powerful!"
Xu Zhu glanced sideways at the Taoist priest who had been sent flying by Xu Daniu's fan, struggling to get up. Unfortunately, he only managed to stand up after two attempts. As Xu Zhu looked over, the Taoist priest stroked his beard with an air of profound mystery, looking utterly unfathomable.
"Do my second and third brothers also think I'm possessed by a demon?" Xu Zhu looked at her second brother, Xu Nian, who was the kindest person to her in the family. Xu Nian was the second oldest child, with older brothers and younger brothers. The old lady doted on her youngest son, and the old man doted on his eldest son. Because he was often overlooked, he had a good temperament and was kind to this older sister.
"Big sister, it's not like that. I think you're doing great lately." He didn't finish the sentence. Compared to his silly older sister who only knew how to listen to their mother, he liked his current sister much better.
Actually, Xu Zhu was a little scared, since she was indeed possessed, but she wasn't a monster.
"Second brother, that's not right. Xu Zhu is possessed by a demon. Why don't you let that demon leave? Look at Xu Zhu now, isn't he stupid? He doesn't even stand up for his own family, he's raising someone else's son, what a waste of money!" Xu Zhu's younger sister, Xu Xin, never called Xu Zhu "sister," always addressing him by his full name. Her eyes were filled with disdain for Xu Zhu.
"Da Ya, let the Taoist priest take a look at you. Don't let a demon possess you!"
Yes, eldest sister.
"..."
In full view of everyone...
In this situation, Xu Zhu was also in a dilemma. If she didn't test the Taoist priest, people would think she was guilty, after all, the change was too great; if she did test the Taoist priest, she was indeed not Xu Zhu, and even if she knew that this Taoist priest was most likely an imposter, what if the test really revealed it?
"Okay, let's test it." Xu Zhu knew that if he couldn't get past this hurdle, Wang Chunhua would still keep causing trouble.
"Xu Zhu, you..." Xu Daniu looked anxious. How could this be...
"It's alright, Brother Xu, I have nothing to hide." Xu Zhu kept a straight face, but sweat dripped down his back.
"Taoist priest, please try again," Wang Chunhua said respectfully to the Taoist priest.
Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest's face twitched. He was wrong, he was really wrong. He shouldn't have secretly gone down the mountain without telling his master, and then gotten beaten up by that idiot who was as strong as an ox.
The Taoist priest twirled his fingers, and Wang Chunhua was taken aback. The priest frowned, then gave another impatient hint. Wang Chunhua realized what he meant and quickly pulled a purse from her sleeve and stuffed it into the priest's hand. The young priest tossed the purse around and said haughtily, "Try again!"
He splashed dog blood on the figure, muttered incantations, and a human figure slowly materialized. Just as the village woman had predicted, he was possessed, but not by a demon. Hmm, how strange! I'll have to ask my master when I get back.
The figure bowed to him, pleading with him not to reveal the truth. The Taoist hesitated, then looked at Wang Chunhua and her group, who were beaming with pride, and then at the child who had appeared beside Xu Zhu at some point, looking at Xu Zhu with a longing and dependence on him.
The Taoist priest coughed: "He wasn't possessed by a demon."
"Impossible!" Wang Chunhua screamed.
"Hmph, I said no, and that's final. I'm not possessed by a demon." The little Taoist priest didn't care about Wang Chunhua; he had to hurry back to check his tailbone, lest he break it.
The young Taoist touched his fake beard, limped away, and said to Xu Zhu, "Take care of yourself."
Li Baobao happily snuggled into Xu Zhu's arms.
Xu Zhu picked up Li Baobao and put her back in her belly, then sincerely said to the Taoist priest, "Thank you."
"Hmph." The little Taoist priest turned his head away, not wanting to talk to anyone.
