Upon hearing this, grandma took out two talismans from her arms and said that she had spent the whole morning discussing the solution with the two Immortals.

Finally, they used the magic power of three people to draw two powerful talismans. It took another whole afternoon, and that was it for one day.

Grandpa looked at the two talismans and asked in surprise: "What kind of talismans are these? It took three people's mana and an afternoon to complete? Can Xiao An's problem of attracting ghosts be solved?"

The grandma sighed and shook her head and said: "It can only suppress it and cannot cure it, but at least it can ensure that Xiaoan will be fine for five to ten years. I hope he can meet the other half of his soul soon."

Then grandma poured a bowl of warm water and opened the two talismans.

I saw a strange eye drawn with a red pen on a talisman, but the eyeball was a Tai Chi pattern, as if it could see through the realms of Yin and Yang.

"This is the talisman that seals the yin and yang eyes. After sealing Xiao An's yin and yang eyes, as long as they are not too powerful evil ghosts, ordinary little ghosts will not be able to see them. This will not attract too many sneaky eyes, cough cough cough..." After coughing, my grandma put the talisman one meter above my forehead and lit it while muttering something.

What grandma means is that if you can't see ghosts, they won't pay much attention to you.

But if you can see them, they can also sense them, so they will arouse their sneaky curiosity and haunt you.

After the talisman was burned, I felt a magical power penetrate into my forehead. It was a little itchy, but fortunately it wasn't uncomfortable.

Then I couldn't see the black shadows that occasionally flashed outside the window, and I felt much more at ease.

But although I couldn't see the ghost, I could still feel the presence of the ghost outside, and my body felt a little chilly.

Immediately afterwards, grandma burned another talisman into ashes, stirred it evenly in a bowl of warm water, and fed me to drink it.

My grandma said that this is an evil-proof talisman drawn by condensing the magic power of three Chuma Immortals. It can protect me from sneak attacks for a certain period of time.

As a three-year-old, I didn't understand anything, so I drank the Fu Lu water obediently. I immediately felt a warm feeling in my limbs and my body no longer felt cold.

But I could still feel the sneakiness outside the window, and I pointed at the window and made a childish voice, "Grandma, there are still dirty things outside."

Seeing this, grandpa worriedly asked grandma if I was okay.

Grandma hugged me and said with a kind smile: "Don't be afraid, Xiao An. Although you can still feel them, you have the magic power condensed by the talisman to protect you, so they can't get on you."

"Well, okay, grandma." I nodded in understanding.

Grandpa was relieved after hearing this and said that it would be great if my problem of attracting ghosts could be completely solved.

Just like that, time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, another four years have passed.

I really haven't seen anything sneaky in the past four years, but I can feel that there are always dirty things around me staring at me.

The most serious incident was on the Qingming Festival, when I was playing at the door, suddenly dark clouds gathered and strong winds blew. I felt that there were more than a hundred ghosts suddenly appearing around me, and they were much more sneaky and fierce than the previous ones.

I was immediately frightened and cried loudly, and ran towards the house, "Grandma, Grandma, there are suddenly many ghosts around me. I'm scared, Grandma..."

But before I could finish shouting, a shrill howl suddenly came from behind me, followed by a stream of icy air rushing toward me, which must have been sneaking up on me.

I was so frightened that the ghosts who usually stared at me only dared to wander in the distance.

This time he actually wanted to get on my body. He must be a very vicious ghost.

"Ouch, ouch, go to hell!" Suddenly, a skinny hand grabbed my shoulder.

But just when I was terrified and in danger, a ball of dazzling golden light suddenly appeared from my body.

The Sneak behind him suddenly let out a shrill howl, and was flung far away by the golden light. The Sneaks around him were even more frightened and fled away.

It must be my grandma's evil-proofing talisman that worked. I was stunned and stood on the spot.

At this time, my grandma rushed out of the room. She was relieved when she saw that I was fine, and told me to try not to go out next time during the Ghost Festival.

Except, I have been taken home by my grandfather many times in the past seven years, but every time I was afraid and didn't want to go back.

Because I knew that my mother was a lunatic and that she wanted to kill me after I was born, I was really afraid that she would suddenly get sick and chop me up with a kitchen knife.

Fortunately, in the past seven years, my mother's condition has improved somewhat. Although she often runs around like crazy, she rarely attacks people.

Regarding my problem of not liking to go home, my grandfather patiently advised me that it is your home after all, and you should go back more often to see your parents, brothers and sisters, otherwise the relationship will fade away.

I'm not sure. Growing up in my grandma's house, I don't have much impression of my family members and I don't have deep feelings for them.

However, when I grew up and became sensible, I missed home.

But when I was a kid, I really didn’t like going home.

Not to mention that my family is from a rural area, and we are so poor that we can’t even eat a few stews a year. How could I want to go back after enjoying the delicious food and spicy food at my grandma’s house?

Apart from the lack of maternal love, I had a pretty good childhood, with good food and good clothes, but my sister and brother who lived at home were not so lucky. It was good for them to wear new clothes once a year.

Every time my sister and brother come to my grandma’s house and see the beautiful clothes I wear, they will look envious.

Although I was wearing clothes left over from my aunt's cousin, she was from the city and the clothes she took off were fashionable and of high quality, so I was treated like a treasure.

My grandma has four children, namely the eldest aunt and the second aunt, my mother and my old uncle. Except for my mother, they are all working-class people and live a prosperous life.

I would come back to visit my grandma during the holidays. My second aunt and my old uncle treated me fairly well, but my aunt always looked down on my family.

Every time I come here, I yell at my grandma that she shouldn’t have let that crazy mother of mine get married in the first place. Not only did she marry a pauper, but she also had to raise me as a child after giving birth to a burdensome person like me. Suffer.

Mainly, my grandma was very dissatisfied with me and neglected to care for my cousin, which also aroused strong dissatisfaction from my aunt.

When I was seven years old, I was relatively ignorant about these trivial family matters, but I didn’t expect that when I grew up, my cousin would become my old enemy!

One day in the summer, my grandpa took me back to the countryside for a walk.

I didn't want to go, but my grandpa said he would take me to kindergarten when school starts in a while. I thought it would not be that easy to go home.

This year, my grandma and grandpa tricked me into going to kindergarten more than once.

I couldn't bear to let my second brother go and decided not to go. I felt that the kindergarten was not a good place.

But the second elder kept saying that there were many children like me in the kindergarten, and they often played games that were very fun and could also learn knowledge. This deceived me and made me full of curiosity about the kindergarten.

After my grandpa pushed the bicycle out of the warehouse, he patted the seat behind and motioned for me to get on. I pursed my lips and pedaled on, heading towards my hometown in the countryside.

As soon as I entered my yard, I saw my crazy mother giggling at the door. When she saw me, she quickly stretched out her hands and said, "My big boy, you are here again, please let mommy hug you!"

How could I dare to let her hold me? I felt that my mother was scarier than a ghost, so I hid far away, prompting my mother to show a sad expression and question, "Aren't you my son? Then why don't you let me hold you?"

When I looked at my mother who was wearing dirty clothes and had unkempt hair and hadn't washed her face for a month, I didn't feel any kindness at all, but felt disgusted.

"You are not my mother. If you were my mother, why did you kill me after I was born?" I asked fearfully.

Unexpectedly, my mother suddenly became ill after hearing this and cursed loudly, "You little beast, you don't even recognize me as your mother. I think you are just looking for a beating!"

As she said that, my mother picked up a thick wooden stick and rushed up to hit me on the head!
