Hua Jiunan spoke softly.
"Senior, let's eat some here."
"Then wait until it gets dark before going to the front to have a look!"
"Okay!" Qi Baijia naturally agreed and found a specialty snack bar to stop.
"Sir, in fact, the representative delicacies of each city cannot be made in hotels. They have to be local snacks!"
Without saying a word, I ordered a bowl of cat ears for everyone, along with a few pieces of Wushan butter cake, and everyone was full of praise for the food.
Zhao Fei, who had a big appetite, couldn't eat enough, so he ordered three more portions with a big grin.
The mini version of Chang Baye learned the painful lesson of eating instant noodles and falling into the bucket, and behaved much better this time.
Instead of using the "golden hook hanging upside down" posture, he asked Zhang Chao to release a bronze corpse and carry him upside down.
It is euphemistically called "the dragon absorbs water".
A bowl of "cat ears" was sucked clean by Mr. Chang in just a few strokes.
After all, among the four, apart from Hua Jiu Nan, he is the more reliable one.
As for the little brat Chen Daji... Chang Baye: "Bah!"
After having had enough wine and food, the group returned to the car and rested for a while before setting off again late at night.
"Little sir, the place where the hanging-boot ghost haunts is in the village ahead."
"In the beginning, they only appeared occasionally, scaring women and children who were alone."
"The trouble got worse and worse later on, and the trouble was so intense that even eight villages within a ten-mile radius could not live in peace."
"The local Sanqing disciples came to drive away these dirty things, but they were all teased by them... either shaved into yin and yang heads, or stripped naked and hung on a tree..."
Chen Daji was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and curiously stared at Qi Baijia carefully.
"Uncle Beggar, you still have your hair and beard, but have you been stripped naked and hung up?!"
Qi Baijia's face turned red, and he even became angry with embarrassment.
If I hadn't seen Chen Daji's terrifying "fighting posture", I would have wanted to challenge him in a duel!
"Major General, you have gone too far!"
"Old man, I was only beaten to death, but I wasn't stripped naked!"
While talking, the five of them arrived at the entrance of the haunted village, parked the car and walked inside.
Because the weather was too hot, not every household in those days had air conditioning. If conditions were good, it would be good to have an electric fan.
Therefore, the villagers all slept late, waving cattail fans and sitting in twos and threes on the roadside to enjoy the cool air.
The enthusiastic villagers saw the beggar and immediately shouted hello.
"Master Dao, you are here again? Can you do it this time? Don't let the little devil take care of you again!"
"Oh, by the way, last time you were stripped naked and hung on a tree. You were so busy running that your underwear was left on the ground."
"I've washed it and kept it at home. I'll go back and get it for you!"
Qi Baijia: "..."
Hua Jiunan was speechless for a while, and then sighed after a moment.
"The people of China are really passionate about their ancient ways!"
Zhao Fei was obviously not interested in whether Qi Baijia was stripped naked and hung upside down. The old Taoist priest was not a beauty, so there was nothing interesting about her.
He was just curious and asked passers-by.
"Uncle, didn't you say that our village is haunted? Aren't you afraid?!"
The old man smiled and shook his head.
"I was scared at first, but now I'm okay."
"The hanging-boot ghost is just a prank, not harmful. At best, it's just a fright."
"It's the same as a child: just ignore them, let the kid do its thing, and after a while he gets bored and leaves."
Qi Baijia nodded slightly.
"Indeed it is."
"If they were really the kind of dirty things that could kill people, the higher ups would have stopped tolerated them long ago, and they wouldn't have been delayed until now!"
While he was talking, he saw a man running over in a hurry, dragging his wife with him.
"Master Dao, are you here? Come and see what's wrong with my wife?!"
Everyone watched carefully:
The woman was sallow and thin, with a huge belly, as if she might give birth at any time.
Chen Daji couldn't stop talking.
"Pregnancy and miscarriage? What's the use of asking Uncle Beggar for this kind of thing? He's an old bachelor himself!"
"Uncle, you have to beg my boss: not only can he have an abortion, but he can also deliver babies!"
The men in the village almost cried when they heard this.
"Brother, you don't know, my wife is definitely not pregnant. Her belly grew this big in three days!"
"I went to the hospital for a checkup and found nothing wrong, and, and..."
Hua Jiunan took over the words with a solemn expression.
"Brother, can your sister-in-law still hear someone talking to her in her belly?!"
When the man in the village heard Hua Jiunan explain the horror in one word, he immediately pulled his wife and knelt down towards him.
"This little brother... no, Master!"
"Master, please be kind and save my wife!"
"I will pay for as much incense as you want, and I can sell your house or land!"
As a good student in the new era, Hua Jiunan was not used to others kowtowing to him, so he immediately stepped forward to help him up.
"Brother, please don't do this. I'll do my best!"
