Chapter 3 - Summoning the Soul?

The moment I said that, Er Gou's mother immediately shrieked, ”You're the one who harmed my Er Gou!”

In the next moment, the three of them weren't able to stop her, so they pinched my throat to the point that I almost burped.

”Hey, hey, auntie …” Cough cough, can you speak some logic? ” It was with much difficulty that I was able to struggle free from mother's hands. My throat was filled with a burning sensation as I hastily replied, ”I'm still not sure what's going on right now. You said that I met the mountain ghost who got married in the mountain ghost, but no matter how you put it, the one who was unlucky should be me, why did it have to be your son? ”

After hearing what I said, the expressions of the surrounding people turned a lot better.

The Goddess Li half closed her eyes: ”Young man, what you say does make sense, but Er Gou's three souls are gone, and his seven souls are missing six souls, so this matter needs you to resolve.”

I can't quite accept Goddess Li's words, does she really have three souls and seven souls? Do ghosts and other creatures really exist in this world?

Goddess Li ignored me and walked straight to Er Gou's side. Two yellow grains of rice appeared in his hands as he stuffed the yellow rice into Er Gou's nose and patted on Er Gou's chest. and I stared wide-eyed, thinking that some miracle was about to happen.

Er Gou suddenly coughed and spat out more yellow hair.

Goddess Li turned around, ”Er Gou's mind and soul have already been trapped by me, so the mountain ghost at the back mountain won't be able to snatch it for now. Tonight's soul summoning will be avoided by anyone other than Qingyan Village's soul and soul.” With that, the Goddess Li turned her head towards an old man in the crowd and asked: ”When I came, I heard that a group of outsiders had entered the village the day before yesterday.

The old man seemed to be the village chief. He nodded his head and instructed a young man beside him, ”Go to the back of the mountain and bring those people from the city here.”

The young man replied, and quickly ran out of Er Gou's house.

Someone from the city? Could it be the people in suits and ties that he had seen earlier? My mind was in a mess as I suddenly thought back to the Bei's house mentioned in the mysterious letter. Since the soul summoning ceremony was scheduled for tonight, I might as well complete the mysterious person's instructions first.

I turned my head to look at Goddess Li and carefully asked, ”Grandma Li, where is this Bei's house? Can I trouble you to bring me there?”

Goddess Li looked at me and her hands trembled: ”You still can't go to Bei's house, these two days are Lunar New Year, other than mountain ghost, there are many other things that you can't control. Although I do not know what relationship you have with the Bei Clan, hearing the old granny's words of advice, it's still better for you to wait until the Grand Moon Day before you head to Bei's house. ”

Goddess Li's words caused my head to be filled with fog. What was the Lunar Scourge? Other than the mountain ghost, could it be that there was something else that was scary in the Qingyan Village, and what was in the Bei's house?

If Goddess Li didn't bring me along to see her position in Qingyan Village, she wouldn't be able to make things convenient for me. Thus, I could only obediently wait at Er Gou's home. With Goddess Li here, Er Gou's mother was no longer noisy. But the sadness in her eyes never left her.

Not long later, the young man whom the old man sent to look for returned, followed by seven or eight people, led by the elegant Dashu named Li that I met in the morning. Other than the five underlings who looked like men, there was also a young lady.

Initially, I didn't pay much attention to her, but after seeing her, I was stunned for a moment and blurted out: ”Li Ruoxi!”
