The next day.

When I woke up, I thought about what had happened last night.

Why did the Paper Man fly up and what was that tornado? I immediately asked.

She sealed Wang Xiuzhi's acupoints with silver needles last night, causing the insect to mistake her as dead and forcing it to leave Wang Xiuzhi's body.

The Paper Man's body was stained with Wang Xiuzhi's blood Qi, the long worm then attached itself to the Paper Man's body, and the tornado contained a ruthless aura.

As the Paper Man were just a smokescreen, the worm would quickly discover that it had been tricked. He had to burn it before it found out.

Because the hostility was too strong, the aunt could not break it. The ten fingers were connected to the heart, so he cut his own palm, used his own blood to break the evil aura, pulled out the Paper Man and threw it into the fire.

Although it sounded simple, if there was any slight mistake, not only Wang Xiuzhi, even her aunt would have been in danger.

I thought about it and asked, why didn't they just seal Wang Xiuzhi's acupoints, thus saving him a lot of trouble?

The aunt shook her head, saying that it was because she was forced to. If there was any other way, she would never do that.

When I asked her the reason, she said it was a taboo and she didn't want to talk about it anymore …

Then, when Big Aunt said that Wang Xiuzhi was alright, and that she was so weak that she needed to rest for a few days …

The worm on her body had already been destroyed, and she wouldn't have the chance to harm anyone from now on.

Speaking of this, the aunt frowned and sighed deeply with a worried look on her face.

I didn't understand. I asked why. The aunt was silent for a moment.

She said that the sins of killing people and ghosts were all the same. In order to save Wang Xiuzhi, she had destroyed the long worm.

Only now do I understand why the village chief had a troubled expression when he asked the eldest aunt for help. What did she mean by 'sinful'?

However, there was something else that was even weirder. How come from the beginning till the end, he had not seen his aunt asking the deities for help.

I asked out my suspicions. My aunt said that the deities would not intervene in this matter. Wang Xiuzhi was wrong, the deities would not commit another life threatening crime just for her.

I couldn't help but feel sorry for my aunt, asking her why she hadn't rejected the Village Head at first.

The aunt only said two words, she couldn't bear to do it.

After a few days, Wang Xiuzhi finally recovered and immediately left the village, never to be seen again. Even the luggage was arranged and delivered by relatives.

Perhaps it was because during those two days, she was known to the entire village that she had no face to continue staying in the village.

Perhaps this incident had left a shadow in his heart and he did not want to continue experiencing such terrifying scenes.

Anyway, after that day, I didn't see Wang Xiuzhi again.

Although her aunt had provoked a evil fruit in order to save Wang Xiuzhi, it was still not without benefits.

The matter had stirred up quite a stir. Many people had heard that their eldest sister-in-law was famous for her ability, so the courtyard was often filled with people coming to visit.

Early morning of this day, a middle-aged man in his thirties arrived.

He had a large, oily beer belly, small eyes under gold-rimmed glasses, and a thick gold chain around his neck that glittered in the morning light.

He called himself Huang Wancai and lived in B City. He was a businessman, and drove for a few hours looking for his aunt to investigate.

Without waiting for the aunt to speak, Huang Wancai immediately revealed the whole story.

He said that there had been a lot of commotion in the house recently and that he could smell the incense every night. Sometimes, he could even hear weird noises in the middle of the night.

But at first he did not think about it, until one day he and his wife had a dream.

This dream truly frightened him. After inquiring all over the place, he found his aunt and helped him.

Huang Wancai's wife was called Lin Lili. He was pregnant for more than two months, and in order to protect his child, the two of them slept separately.

A few nights ago, he and his wife had a strange dream.

It could be said that a dream was not a dream.

That night, Huang Wancai was soundly asleep, and felt someone patting his arm twice, calling him.

His eyes flew open, but there was no one around him. He could vaguely see a black shadow that was about one and a half meters in front of him.

Huang Wancai was startled, but he very quickly remembered what it was.

Lin Lili was a stylist. Usually, she would put the mannequin on a rack to practice her hair style.

At that time, he was still complaining about his wife. After putting away all the things he had used, he looked at the time and realized it was only a little after 3. Then, he turned around and went back to sleep.

At breakfast the next day, Lin Lili said that she had had a strange dream last night.

Huang Wancai even laughed, saying that the husband and wife had the same thoughts, they even had strange dreams together.

Then her wife recounted her dream.

Last night as well.

In Lin Lili's dream, she saw a person sitting at the end of her bed. The dark and thin person looked like a bent old man, but his face couldn't be seen clearly.

At the time, she was not afraid. She only asked who the person was and why he was sitting on her bed.

However, after asking him a few times, the person still remained silent.

Lin Lili felt it was strange, in her dreams he had called her husband, telling her that she should quickly come and see who was sitting on her bed!

And with that cry, the black shadow immediately disappeared.

As the black figure disappeared, Lin Lili also woke up from her dream. She subconsciously looked at his phone, it was only slightly over three o'clock, and she continued to drift off to sleep.

He didn't think too much into it at night, but when he woke up, he felt that this dream was really strange, so he told it to Huang Wancai.

After Huang Wancai heard it, he immediately dropped the chopsticks in his hand and ran back into the living room, but did not see the fake model.

Turning his head, he asked Lin Lili if he had already put away the fake head.

And Lin Lili said that the first model had always been in the junk room, she had not taken it out for several days.

Huang Wancai's face instantly paled.

If it wasn't a mannequin, then what was the dark, thin shadow he had seen last night?

As he spoke till here, Huang Wancai's forehead was covered in sweat.

I curiously asked, "You and your wife were in the same room, yet you dreamed of the same person at the same time?" And it was in a dream that she called you, so you felt someone clap you on the arm to wake you up? "

Huang Wancai nodded his head, although what he said did not seem to be logical, he did not say that he was faking it.

Furthermore, the timing was right. The most important thing was that both of them were able to see a black figure that was thin like a bent old man!

I live with my aunt, and I've heard a lot of strange things.

But what Huang Wancai said still made me doubt his words.

But when he thought about it, there was no need for him to lie like that.

From start to end, the aunt did not utter a word, only until Huang Wancai asked about the way to resolve the situation, she just frowned and opened her mouth.

The aunt said that there was nothing wrong with Huang Wancai's body, nor was there anything messy about him, so she could not tell that there was anything wrong with him.

According to what he said about the dream, the problem might be the family or his daughter-in-law.

But Huang Wancai said that his wife did not believe him and would definitely not come.

The aunt shook her head. "Then we can only invite someone else."

I was a little disappointed to see that my aunt didn't care, because I was curious about what was going on.

Huang Wancai was even more anxious, he immediately took out a stack of red bills and placed it on the table, saying that as long as his aunt was willing to help, money would not be a problem.

Looking at the stack of bills, there were at least eight thousand, I think that Huang Wancai is really rich.

Although First Aunt usually treated patients and investigated, that was all for the sake of accumulating merits from the immortals worshipped by the Incense Hall.

Some gave twenty or thirty, some gave five hundred. This is my first time seeing someone as rich as Huang Wancai.

Huang Wancai hoped that his sister-in-law could personally visit his home and take a look. She would be able to resolve any problems that came her way.

But ever since Wang Xiuzhi's matter had been resolved, the First Aunt's health had not been very good. Recently, she rarely left the house, let alone went to the city.

As expected, the aunt waved her hand, saying that she couldn't walk far if she was in a bad condition.

But on account of Huang Wancai's sincerity, he was willing to help him.

After that, when Aunt told Huang Wancai to go back first, she gave him her phone number and said that she would give him a message in two days.

After Huang Wancai left, I asked my aunt how she planned to handle this matter.

The aunt said she couldn't go, but she could let the others do it.

Then the aunt made a call.

Hearing her call the other party Zhi Yuan, he explained the matter of Huang Wancai in simple terms, and stressed that after resolving the matter, he would be rewarded with a large sum of money.

I heard it was weird, thinking, "This person that my aunt is looking for really loves money, how could such a person be reliable?"

After hanging up, my aunt asked me if I wanted to go to B City for a few days.

I asked suspiciously. What's the relationship between me going to City B and Huang Wancai?

I saw through her intentions, so my aunt did not beat around the bush.

The reason she asked me to go to City B was actually to ask me to help her learn how to handle Huang Wancai's situation.

The aunt reckons that Huang Wancai's side is not a big deal, and there won't be any danger, so she can let me take this opportunity to learn.

Furthermore, it was said that the person she was looking for was a master with great ability. Even if there were any troublesome situations, the master was not a person she needed to worry about.

I had always been curious about this matter, so after hearing my aunt's words, I readily agreed. He was both excited and nervous about what might happen.

However, at that time, I didn't know how much of an impact this would have had on my life …
