Both of them recognized that this was a supernatural trick. The two people bouncing outside should be called the Great Jumper. Wen Qian finally understood why Lu's father had insisted that Lu Yao withdraw all their money. They intended to use the money to seek out the Great Jumper to take her away, and at this moment, such things were absolutely not allowed to happen. To summon them, one would need to offer a hundredfold price.
She didn’t know what Lu's father and Cuihua had offered after throwing away the money to get their attention. However, she knew that Lu's father and Cuihua were digging their own graves. Since her rebirth and the changes that followed, there had been some rumors in the village, but she hadn’t paid them any mind; she never expected that they would remember it so clearly.
Lu Zheng’s face darkened in an instant. A faint light emanated from inside the house as he looked at the two people bouncing outside, who were adorned with garlic and chili peppers, dressed in strange clothing. "Monsters and ghosts, get away! Get away!"
Suddenly, Wen Qian and Lu Zheng rushed outside, closing the door behind them. They couldn’t scare Lu Chen inside. The two strange figures in the yard began circling around Wen Qian as soon as they saw her, their words becoming increasingly clear.
Gradually, Wen Qian caught a strange smell wafting from them; she couldn’t help but cover her nose. The stench of blood was overwhelming and pungent.
Wen Qian noticed Cuihua’s smug gaze and turned to look at her, her expression completely unfazed as she stared back. Cuihua’s previously triumphant face froze in an instant; fear gripped her as she dared not look at Wen Qian any longer. This woman, with her hair disheveled, was staring at her intently, her frail figure seeming like it was demanding retribution.
In that moment, the two bouncing figures also ceased their antics, stopping in their tracks to look at Wen Qian. They reached into their clothes for bottles and hurled the contents toward her.
The occurrence was too sudden and swift; just as the unidentified liquid was about to splash onto Wen Qian, Lu Zheng yanked her aside, and they both dodged out of the way. The mysterious liquid missed its target entirely and splattered onto the ground.
The foul odor exploded in the yard, causing even Lu Zheng to wrinkle his nose in disgust. The two figures stared in shock as they failed to hit Wen Qian; this wasn’t how things were supposed to unfold!
Cuihua and Lu's father sighed regretfully. After this incident, both Lu Zheng and Wen Qian fully understood what was happening. Wen Qian returned inside while Lu Zheng approached the two individuals.
Lu Zheng swiftly pressed both of them to the ground, while Wen Qian hurriedly brought out some ropes from the house to bind them. The two worked in perfect harmony, not wasting a single moment.
The two captives attempted to resist and shout, but Lu Zheng tore strips from their clothing and stuffed them into their mouths. Cuihua watched them with a hint of fear, trembling slightly as she glanced at Lu's father. What should they do? Why hadn’t Wen Qian returned to her original form? Why hadn’t it succeeded?
Suddenly, Lu's father realized that he had been too anxious. "You two cannot bind the Master like this; it’s a great disrespect! Quickly release them, or you will regret it!"
Wen Qian turned her gaze towards Cuihua, slowly approaching her and slapping her across the face. "Shut up." She looked into Cuihua's incredulous eyes and smiled. "Aren't you suspicious that I was possessed? Isn’t my behavior now perfectly normal? You should consider the consequences of your actions."
"Go fetch the captain," she ordered.
Lu Zheng nodded and immediately left for the captain's house, while Wen Qian pulled up a chair to sit opposite Lu's father. She smiled at him, realizing that he had made a misstep; he was handing her leverage to use against him.
Cuihua felt an overwhelming sense of regret. Why had they acted so foolishly? Why had they called for the Master? It was a pity for their gold bars—two of them!
In the afternoon, inside the house, Lu's father suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Cuihua. His rough voice broke the silence. "Go get two gold bars."
Cuihua was taken aback, unable to believe what she heard. "Gold bars? You want to take them?" They hadn’t been used in years, and now he wanted two?
"Go get them; I have use for them," he insisted.
Reluctantly, Cuihua went to retrieve them. As she looked at the remaining five gold bars, her heart ached. Couldn’t she just take one?
Mr. Lu got up and had Cuihua help him as he prepared to go out. At first, she didn't understand his intentions.
After waiting in a secluded courtyard and listening to Mr. Lu's conversation with the other party, she gradually began to comprehend the situation.
"Big brother, you know that this kind of thing can't be done now. Aren't you putting me in danger?"
Outside, the sun cast a slanting light on an elderly woman who resembled a grandmother. She sat on a stool, grinning as she watched Mr. Lu, her hands fiddling with a few pebbles.
