Chapter 20 Exorcising the Ghost Bride
The uncle looked much worse than yesterday after just one day apart, and the red and black ghostly matchmaking line on his wrist was even thicker than yesterday!
She turned her head and looked into the distance, where she saw a disheveled ghost dressed in a bright red wedding robe standing not far away.
Zhao Taohua was puzzled: This shouldn't be!
Yesterday, the uncle clearly kept the amulet in his pocket, so the evil spirit shouldn't have dared to approach him again.
What's going on? Are we getting closer and closer to that middle-aged man?
While pleading for help from Zhao Taohua, Wei Jianfeng glanced fearfully at the vengeful bride standing not far away.
Originally, he only saw her in his dreams. She clung to him, wanting to marry him, but he always refused.
Unexpectedly, this morning, after his wife burned the amulet, she actually appeared right in front of him.
No matter where he goes, he can see her!
Furthermore, he could clearly see a rope binding him and her together on his wrist, and no matter what he did, he couldn't break the rope!
He was terrified; the only thing that came to mind was the girl who sold talismans yesterday.
Sure enough, when he arrived, he found her there!
"Where is your amulet?" Zhao Taohua asked.
With the peace charm she drew, evil spirits couldn't get close at all, and the vengeful ghost's matchmaking thread couldn't possibly get thicker or shorter.
If this vengeful ghost's matchmaking thread is allowed to continue unchecked, Wei Jianfeng will be forcibly dragged to a wedding ceremony by the vengeful ghost bride in two days, thus becoming a person of the underworld!
Wei Jianfeng got angry when this was mentioned: "My wife thought the amulet was fake, so she actually threw it into the stove and burned it!"
The moment the talisman turned to ashes, I was able to see her. She had been clinging to me all morning, and I really didn't know what to do.
"Please, girl, save me!"
This morning after he got up, he made a point of sharing with his wife that he finally got a good night's sleep because he had bought that amulet.
Unexpectedly, that tiger woman thought he was talking nonsense, saying that he had been cheated out of a hundred coins and burned the amulet!
His hellish life began!
Zhao Taohua looked down at his wrist. At this moment, the ghostly matchmaker's thread had already embedded itself in his skin. A single peace charm was not enough to eradicate the harm caused to him by the yin energy within the ghostly bride's body.
But if they want to deal with the vengeful bride, she has no spiritual energy right now...
She had just replenished some spiritual energy from Shen Ming yesterday, and after drawing ten peace talismans, it was all gone again.
Just as Zhao Taohua was feeling troubled, a wisp of snow-white hair suddenly appeared in her line of sight. Overjoyed, she ran straight toward the person.
"Brother Shen Ming, please do me a favor!"
Without saying a word, Zhao Taohua took Shen Ming's hand and walked towards the stall.
The moment the large and small palms touched, Zhao Taohua's spiritual energy immediately increased.
When Qian saw Zhao Taohua holding Shen Ming's hand in public, she frowned slightly.
Peach Blossom is about to turn 18, and Shen Ming is also getting on in years. She will talk to Peach Blossom about the differences between men and women.
Zhao Taohua pulled Shen Ming down to squat down with her. She had Wei Jianfeng extend his left hand, roll up his sleeve, and expose his wrist.
Wei Jianfeng could clearly see the slightly thick red and black rope on his wrist, tightly binding it and digging into his flesh.
Zhao Taohua pinched the rope between her thumb and forefinger, pulled hard, and immediately broke the rope.
Immediately, Zhao Taohua quickly wrapped the rope around her wrist twice and gripped one end of the rope tightly.
The moment the red and black rope left his wrist, Wei Jianfeng felt as if he were a drowning person who had been suddenly pulled ashore and could finally breathe normally again.
"!!!"
The vengeful bride obviously did not expect that the matchmaking thread she tied to Wei Jianfeng would be broken, and that it was a little girl who looked only fourteen years old.
You're asking for it! How dare you ruin her plans!
The vengeful ghost bride rushed straight towards Zhao Taohua along the thread of fate.
At this moment, only Wei Jianfeng and Zhao Taohua could see the vengeful ghost bride. So, when it rushed towards them, Wei Jianfeng was so frightened that he scrambled to hide in a corner.
Zhao Taohua didn't dodge at all, still squatting on the ground, her fingers moving rapidly as she twirled the black and red rope.
The moment the vengeful bride came along the rope, Zhao Taohua simply touched her head with her fingertip, and instantly, the vengeful bride vanished into thin air, along with the red and black rope.
Wei Jianfeng was extremely surprised after seeing it. How could this girl be so amazing?
He carefully walked around to Zhao Taohua's back and asked, "Miss, is that ghost bride dead?"
Zhao Taohua hummed in agreement, then turned to look at his haggard face, where the lingering yin energy of the vengeful bride still remained.
She advised, "These days, you should get some sunshine; it will help you get rid of the negative energy in your body."
You may not feel well for the next couple of days, but you'll feel better in a couple of days.
The fee for exorcising the vengeful bride is two taels of silver.
When Wei Jianfeng heard that it cost two taels of silver, he felt a pang of heartache for only a moment, but then he felt that the money was well spent.
If it weren't for this young lady's intervention, he would still be entangled with that ghost bride.
When he told others, no one in the manor believed him. They all thought he was talking nonsense, possessed, or had gone mad.
Even his tiger girls thought so.
If she hadn't burned his lucky charm, he wouldn't be in such a miserable state today.
Wei Jianfeng immediately took out two taels of silver from his purse and gave it to Zhao Taohua. Then, he asked, "Miss, if I wear a talisman, will the lingering yin energy on my body immediately dissipate? And will I not feel unwell these days?"
Zhao Taohua nodded.
"Then I'll take two."
Wei Jianfeng then handed Zhao Taohua two hundred coins.
Zhao Taohua brought twelve peace charms today, that's plenty.
With the two amulets in his pocket, Wei Jianfeng felt comfortable and at ease.
Zhao Taohua didn't expect to earn another two taels, so in total she had saved seven taels and three hundred and sixty-two coins!
Wei Jianfeng thanked Zhao Taohua repeatedly and then left.
"Ahem!" Madam Qian coughed lightly from the side, then reminded her, "Peach Blossom!"
Zhao Taohua was completely absorbed in the joy of having saved more than seven taels of silver, and was completely puzzled as to why Madam Qian was looking at her with a serious expression.
She only realized what was happening when Shen Ming pulled his large hand away from hers.
Zhao Taohua felt a pang of regret: the charging had stopped again.
However, this time she received more spiritual energy than before, so she couldn't use it all up again when drawing talismans.
Shen Ming's ears turned bright red, and he quickly got up to leave.
Zhao Taohua, with her sharp eyes, noticed the five-nut mooncakes, crabs, and lotus root cakes in his basket and said, "Brother Shen Ming, are you here to buy things to eat for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Shen Ming nodded, but dared not look at Zhao Taohua, for fear that his peripheral vision would meet Qian Shi's gaze.
Even though Zhao Taohua was the one who took his hand first, he still felt embarrassed when Aunt Qian saw it.
He's a man, and if he holds hands with Zhao Taohua, Zhao Taohua will be the one who suffers.
Besides, the Taoist priest had told him that he carried a malevolent aura, and getting close to him would bring bad luck or even death. It was understandable that Aunt Qian didn't want Zhao Taohua to get close to him.
When Qian heard Zhao Taohua's question, she looked at Shen Ming with a sense of sympathy.
He was the only one left in the Shen family.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion, but this child is all alone, with no relatives at home; he is an orphan.
"Shen Ming, come to my aunt's house for dinner tomorrow night. We'll celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together."
When Madam Qian suddenly spoke, Shen Ming was taken aback, clearly not expecting her to say that!
