Zhang Chusheng is the eldest son of Butcher Zhang, and he is also a well-known good boy from all over the country.
Not only does he know how to help his family solve problems at a young age, but he also usually does his best when others ask for help...
Coupled with his intelligence and shrewdness, the elders in the village spread the rumor that this child was either a Wenquxing star or the reincarnation of the Wenquxing God, and was destined to achieve a great career in the future.
However, it was precisely because of Zhang Chusheng's personality that he liked to help others that brought him this disaster.
Because after returning from private school one day, Zhang Chusheng saw a pale old woman at the entrance of the village, and he instinctively stepped forward to support the old woman.
Zhang Chusheng originally wanted to send the old lady home, but the other party insisted on sending him to a nearby rural road.
Therefore, although Zhang Chusheng was a little worried about whether the old woman could return home smoothly in her condition, he still obediently sent her to the rural road.
Later, in order to thank Zhang Chusheng, the elderly woman wrapped a few copper coins in oil-wrapped paper and gave them to him.
He said it was to thank the other party for helping him. No matter how much Zhang Chusheng refused, it was of no avail. He had no choice but to accept the "thank you gift" the old woman gave him honestly.
"So, didn't Chu Sheng do a good thing? How could that old woman harm him?"
Frowning slightly, Pei Wende, who had already gone ashore and put on his clothes, asked in confusion while listening to the stories of the three civet brothers.
"Also, how did you know about this?"
Upon hearing Pei Wende's question, the three civet brothers were speechless and continued hesitantly.
Before Zhang Chusheng returned home with the few copper coins, he met the three civet brothers in the village who were sneaky and wanted to go home but didn't dare.
After all, since the last incident, Old Man Zhang has stubbornly refused to let the three brothers enter the house, and they must live alone.
So the three civet brothers secretly hid in the village. In a sense, they had violated the agreement between them and the stubborn old man.
If the stubborn old man knew that these three useless brothers had sneaked back to the village, he would definitely be furious at them.
In desperation, the three brothers made promises and begged for mercy in order to silence Zhang Chusheng, and then they coaxed him into not reporting on them like the stubborn old man.
It was during this process that the three brothers learned the reason why Zhang Chusheng appeared near the entrance of the village at that time.
Maybe it's out of pure curiosity, or maybe it's out of mischievous revenge...
After receiving Zhang Chusheng's promise, the third of the three civet brothers secretly stole Zhang Chusheng's oil-wrapped paper copper coins and proudly showed off to him.
Faced with such childish provocation, Zhang Chusheng naturally didn't care. On the contrary, he somewhat understood why Old Man Zhang made the decision to force the three brothers out of the house.
"You three..."
When he heard this, Pei Wende glanced at the three brothers with the same funny and speechless look.
"Then what? Is there something wrong with those oil-wrapped paper copper coins?"
In fact, when he asked this question, Pei Wende already had some expectations in his heart.
The reason why the three brothers were so sure that the old woman harmed Zhang Chusheng must be because of the oil-coated paper copper coins.
But what puzzled Pei Wende was what was so fishy about those copper coins?
Also, what is wrong with Zhang Chusheng now?
"Those copper coins are dead money..."
"That old witch is a voodoo girl, the descendant of Miao Jiang's voodoo technique..."
"She wants to borrow Zhang Chusheng's life and longevity through the magic of life borrowing..."
As the three civet brothers talked about each other, Pei Wende gradually understood what happened at that time, and his face became serious.
Because the three brothers were competing with Zhang Chusheng to get the copper coins wrapped in oil-wrapped paper. Whether it was luck or misfortune, the three brothers tore up the oil-wrapped paper, revealing the copper coins and the writing of "Internal Beta" inside.
Those copper coins are not the contemporary copper coins that are currently popular and commonly used, but the Kaiyuan Tongbao that was widely circulated during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty.
And on the internal test of the oil-coated paper, the words "Borrow your life for seven days" were clearly written.
The moment they saw those words, not only the three civet brothers stopped playing, but even Zhang Chusheng turned pale.
Because he had studied in private school for so long, Zhang Chusheng knew those words completely and knew what they meant.
Afterwards, Zhang Chusheng, who had no intention of fighting anymore, immediately threw down the oil-wrapped paper and copper coins, and ran home in a panic.
As a result, that night, the three civet brothers learned from the villagers that Zhang Chusheng had a high fever.
To this end, Butcher Zhang rushed to a nearby county overnight and invited a well-known local doctor to come back and treat Zhang Chusheng.
What happens next can be imagined.
Faced with this evil spell, which was not a normal disease at all, even with the doctor's superb medical skills, he could only temporarily relieve Zhang Chusheng's condition, but could not cure his condition.
"What day is it now?"
After listening to all the stories of the three brothers, Pei Wende, who looked calm, suddenly asked thoughtfully.
"Well, today should be the third day."
Seemingly aware of Wen De's heavy heart, the civet cat boss whispered without daring to look directly at him.
"But you don't have to worry too much. Butcher Zhang has already taken Chu Sheng up the mountain, and he should be receiving treatment in the temple now."
As the most mature character among the three civet brothers, the civet boss has actually long realized that the behavior of his three brothers was inappropriate.
However, their nature is like this, coupled with their fear of strangers.
Being able to go up the mountain to inform Pei Wende at this time and clearly explain the cause and consequences of this incident is the best result that these three brothers can achieve.
"I know, you did a great job."
Fortunately, Pei Wende also knew this and did not have too strict requirements on the three civet brothers in this regard.
On the contrary, Pei Wende now feels that these three brothers are not useless.
At least their appearance clearly explains the real reason for Zhang Chusheng's "illness".
"What about the oil-wrapped paper and the copper coins? You probably didn't throw them away, right?"
Zhang Chusheng may not be aware of the importance of oil-wrapped paper and copper coins, but the three civet brothers, who are also practitioners after all, are certainly not unaware of how crucial those two things are.
All evil arts must rely on a medium. If there were no medium for oil-wrapped paper and copper coins, even if the emperor came, he might not be able to save Zhang Chusheng at this time.
"We didn't lose it. We definitely didn't lose this!"
He quickly shook his head in denial. The three civet brothers still had some common sense.
"We hid everything on our bodies and made sure not to lose a single coin."
