Chapter 698 Ghost Legends

Fall in love with reading, starting with Cola Novels.

Ding Mei had already followed him out and was standing behind him when she whispered:

"You little rascal, you...you killed the fox spirit?"

Lu Yao closed the trunk and looked back at her:

"What fox spirit? It's just a fox."

Ding Mei's face was still pale: "But just now... it could talk, and it could even make that girl speak for it... I've heard from the elders that a fox can bewitch you and you can't fight it; you have to ask a shaman for help."

"Don't worry, I am the great god, the mountain god of Dahuan Mountain!"

Lu Yao smiled and said something, then bent down, grabbed a handful of snow from the wall, wiped his hands, and walked back.

Ding Mei followed behind with trepidation and entered the house.

Inside the house, Lu Weiqiang and his wife were lying on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), looking at their daughter.

Lu Xiulian's breathing became steady, and her complexion returned to normal, as if she were asleep.

Yuan Shumei, who was standing to one side, saw Lu Yao enter and couldn't help but ask:

"Lu Yao, what exactly is going on?"

Lu Yao walked to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), reached out and examined Lu Xiulian's eyelids, then felt her pulse.

The pulse has become much more stable. The reason the patient hasn't woken up yet is because the silver needles are still suppressing the blood vessels and meridians. Once the silver needles are removed, the patient will naturally wake up.

Looking at the time, it's still a few minutes before it's time to start the needlework.

He sat down, lit a cigarette, and slowly said:

"You've all heard of weasels or foxes, right?"

Lu Weiqiang's wife nodded:

"I've heard that. The old folks say that this thing cultivates into a spirit and can possess a person..."

Lu Yao waved his hand: "It's not some kind of spirit that has cultivated itself. This thing can release a foul odor that can make people dizzy, confused, and hallucinate. People with weak constitutions, who are already deficient in qi and blood, are more likely to be taken advantage of by it when it gets close."

He pointed to the rear window: "They are indeed charming, but the legends that portray them as having supernatural powers are an exaggeration."

Lu Weiqiang's wife was stunned.

"Then...then how could it have made Xiulian say such things?"

Lu Yao laughed and said, "Xiulian is bewitched. She's hallucinating and thinks she's a fox. The things she's saying are just her own thoughts. She's just talking nonsense."

Then pat the gun at his waist:

"Don't worry, even the most powerful monsters are afraid of this."

Fearing that the Lu family would blame Lu Yao, Ding Mei quickly stepped in to help Lu Yao smooth things over.

"Yes, when my mother was alive, she said that a woman from her hometown village hanged herself, and they could always hear her crying when she came back to that house. At night, when the lights were off, they could see a shadowy figure swaying on the roof beam..."

Yuan Shumei was so frightened that she clenched her fists.

Ding Mei continued, "No one dares to approach that house. Even the doctors they hired can't cure it."

Lu Weiqiang's wife was also made to feel uneasy by what she said, and asked:

"And then what happened?"

"Later, the Eighth Route Army's armed work team passed by and stayed overnight in that house."

"Has the ghost appeared?"

Yuan Shumei quickly asked.

She guessed Ding Mei was talking nonsense, but she couldn't help asking anyway.

If Ding Mei had known this story, since the two of them had lived together for so long and always told each other stories, she would have told her long ago.

Now it's obvious they're helping Lu Yao.

Ding Mei blinked her big eyes and said:

"Later, not only did the ghost not appear, but when the Eighth Route Army comrades heard about it, they fired two shots at the roof beam before leaving. The ghost never appeared again!"

"Yes, yes, guns can ward off evil spirits!"

Yuan Shumei nodded in agreement, holding Ding Mei's hand as she spoke.

Lu Yao stubbed out his cigarette and stood up:

"This thing preys on the old, weak, sick, and disabled. Whoever is physically weak or has something on their mind, it will target them. Xiulian was already feeling frustrated because of her boyfriend, and then she caught a chill at the cemetery, which weakened her body, making her vulnerable to this thing."

He walked to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and looked at Lu Xiulian:

"She'll wake up once the needles are removed. Take good care of herself and avoid places with heavy yin energy; she'll get better gradually."

Lu Weiqiang's wife burst into tears again, holding her daughter's hand as she looked at Lu Yao, then at Lu Weiqiang.

She felt sorry for her daughter, but dared not speak to her stubborn husband.

Lu Yao said to Lu Weiqiang:

"Uncle, you'd better not interfere too much in your children's marriages. The country is advocating freedom of marriage, so why are you still so rigid? Besides, just because that young man has a bad family background doesn't mean he'll never be able to change his ways. Give them some time and see. Trust me, if you want your daughter to be safe and sound, don't interfere too much."

Lu Weiqiang now looked at Lu Yao with new respect.

I sensed a very powerful aura emanating from him.

If any other young person spoke to him with such arrogance, he would have gotten angry long ago, but Lu Weiqiang didn't dare to do so to him.

Looking at Lu Yao, he suddenly asked in surprise:

"You look so familiar... You're the hero from the newspaper who fought off the remnants of the Japanese army... the one who fought the tiger in Dahuan Mountain..."

Ding Mei chimed in, "It's him! Uncle, you've been reading the newspaper too? It's our boss, that country bumpkin... no, his full name is Lu Yao, the militia company commander of Shuiling Town!"

Lu Weiqiang quickly turned around and rummaged through the gaps in the cabinet.

Find a copy of the Jiangzhou Weekly:

"This is something I specially bought when I went to Jiangzhou last time..."

"Snap snap snap," she flipped through the pages and found a page with a large photo of Lu Yao.

Although the black and white photo was slightly distorted when printed in the newspaper, it was still clear that it was Lu Yao himself.

The couple were even more astonished.

The gloom of killing the fox was immediately dispelled.

With a tiger-slaying hero in charge, the little fox will naturally not amount to anything!

Twenty minutes later, Lu Yao got the needle out.

Lu Xiulian stirred and slowly opened her eyes.

She looked at the people in the room, then at her own naked body.

Although Yuan Shumei covered her two private parts with a pillowcase, she felt ashamed now that she had recovered.

After all, she was an unmarried young woman, and her face turned red with fright. She quickly pulled the blanket over her head.

She peeked at her mother through the gap in the blanket:

"Mom, what's going on? Why are there so many strangers here?"

His eyes were clear, indicating that he was now rational and normal.

Lu Weiqiang's wife rushed over, hugged the quilt, and cried:

"Xiulian! Xiulian, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I just feel a little weak all over."

Lu Yao also breathed a sigh of relief:

"Alright, it's nothing. Let her get dressed, have some hot porridge and eggs to replenish her nutrition, and then get a good night's sleep."

Looking back at Lu Weiqiang, he said, "I'll leave that naked fox for you. If you want to eat it, soak it in cold water first, otherwise it'll smell too pungent."

Lu Weiqiang waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't want to eat it, I don't want to eat it, let's just bury it."

In the eyes of the people of Northeast China, foxes are still considered inviolable, and even if meat is scarce, they dare not eat them.

Lu Yao laughed and said, "Whatever you want. We'll be going now."

Lu Weiqiang's wife was also a reasonable woman; seeing that Lu Yao was about to leave, she quickly tried to persuade him to stay.

"No, young comrade, our child is so lucky to have you, otherwise he would be in big trouble! You absolutely have to stay and have a meal before you leave."

Lu Yao waved his hand: "No, Auntie, my family's winery is still very busy. I'll come visit again when I have time."

He then waved to Lu Xiulian, who was peeking through the gap in the quilt on the kang (heated brick bed):

"I'm leaving, sis. When it comes to dating, just date if you feel it's right for you. Don't worry about so many things."

Startled, Lu Xiulian quickly covered her face with the blanket, too afraid to peek.

I've seen and heard clearly that this handsome young man saved me.

But I was so embarrassed to have just peed naked!
