Chapter 77 You're in Charge of This Home
The child's eyes glowed with an eerie green light, and his entire body emanated a chilling aura.
As soon as the child landed, he was like a wild beast, bracing himself on all fours and looking at him and Cao.
He opened his mouth, revealing sharp fangs, which instantly terrified Zhao Shengde and Cao Shi, causing them to tremble. The two tried to run away, but their legs went weak and they fell to the ground.
Only then did Zhao Shengde notice that Yan Zhenzhu's face had lost all color and life, like a skin that had been drained of moisture.
Before Zhao Shengde could recover from his fear, he heard the child let out a chilling scream.
……
Zhao Taohua was tying straw mats at home when she suddenly heard cries for help coming from outside. When she put down her things and went to follow the sound, she found a lot of people coming out of Grandma Feng's house.
"What happened? Who was shouting for help just now?"
Zhao Taohua asked the crowd.
"It was Yan Zhenzhu. She said that Zhao Shengde and Cao Shi wanted to harm her, and then she fainted. However, Uncle Xiangping just found out that she is nearly a month pregnant."
Now, Zhao Shengde has taken the person home.
As soon as one of the villagers finished speaking, Zhao Xiangping came out of Grandma Feng's house, and Zhao Taohua's eyes were immediately drawn to the sinister aura emanating from Zhao Xiangping's hands.
“Grandpa Xiangping, how come you have so much yin energy on your hands? What did you just touch?” Zhao Taohua asked.
"What? Yin energy? Have I encountered an evil spirit?"
Upon hearing Zhao Taohua's words, Zhao Xiangping immediately looked at his hands in horror.
He thought back carefully and realized that he hadn't touched anything; he had just tied straw mats at home.
Zhao Taohua discovered that not only did Xiangping's great-grandfather have yin energy on his hands, but other villagers also had some yin energy on them.
She asked in shock, "How come so many of you are tainted by yin energy? What did you all encounter just now?"
Everyone looked terrified: "What? We all have yin energy on us? This..."
"We were just building thatched huts in the fields."
"We weave grass rugs at home."
Zhao Taohua looked at the villagers who were talking and asked in confusion, "Could it be that the bamboo and straw have gotten dirty?"
She was just tying up a straw mat, but her hands didn't come into contact with any yin energy!
Suddenly, someone remembered something: "I just helped Yan Zhenzhu up."
“I helped her up too. Oh, and Uncle Xiangping even took Yan Zhenzhu’s pulse…”
Zhao Taohua looked at the people who had touched Yan Zhenzhu and found that all of them had yin energy on them.
Grandma Feng asked in disbelief, "Does Pearl have a malevolent aura? Has she been afflicted by evil spirits?"
This is incredible! Just now, Brother Xiangping diagnosed her and found out that she is less than a month pregnant.
Oh my god, Pearl has a kind of yin energy on her, won't that have any effect on the child?
The woman is very weak when she first gets pregnant!
As soon as Grandma Feng finished speaking, two terrified screams came from Zhao Shengde's house in the distance.
"!!! Oh my god, could something have happened to Pearl?"
Grandma Feng said worriedly.
Upon hearing this, everyone rushed towards Zhao Shengde's house. Unexpectedly, when they pushed open the courtyard gate, they saw a child with bluish-gray skin lying on top of Zhao Shengde with his mouth open.
Cao fell to the ground, her face drained of color, her lips cracked and bloodless, slightly parted as if silently pleading for help.
Everyone who saw this scene was so frightened that they took a half step back.
Someone asked fearfully, "Why is this child this color?"
Some speculated, "Could he be an evil spirit?"
Zhao Taohua squeezed to the front, her pupils shrinking: "A demon child?"
Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately threw a yellow talisman at the evil child, sticking it directly to his forehead and instantly immobilizing him.
"what!"
The yellow talisman instantly emitted a beam of yellow light, and the evil ghost child let out a sharp roar, its body twisting and struggling violently.
Zhao Taohua estimated that the child was already three years old. He frantically grabbed at his head with both hands, trying to tear off the talisman, his face full of pain!
Seeing this, no one dared to step forward. Zhao Taohua parted her lips slightly and read aloud:
"When the sky is clear and the earth is bright, quickly destroy the evil spirits!"
As the incantation was recited, the light on the yellow talisman grew even brighter, enveloping the evil child and causing it to wail.
Finally, the light completely enveloped it, continuously compressing and purifying it. In the end, accompanied by a shrill scream, the evil child turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated.
Zhao Taohua immediately went to check on the three people on the ground.
Seeing this, the others asked timidly, "Peach Blossom, has the evil spirit been eliminated?"
Only after seeing Zhao Taohua nod did the others dare to approach.
The faces of Yan Zhenzhu, Zhao Shengde, and Cao Shi on the ground were all deathly pale, which looked terrifying and startled everyone.
"Peach Blossom, what's wrong with them?"
Zhao Xiangping asked questions while taking the pulses of the three men, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they were all still alive.
When he took Yan Zhenzhu's pulse, he was shocked to find that her previous pregnancy pulse had disappeared!
After confirming several times, Zhao Xiangping said, "Oh no, Pearl's child is indeed gone. Could it have been caused by yin energy?"
"The evil child you just saw is the pregnancy pulse in her belly. She is possessed by an evil spirit, and someone put the evil child in her belly, which is why you were able to detect the pregnancy pulse."
As Zhao Taohua spoke, her gaze fell on Yan Zhenzhu's lower body, which was wet and looked as if she had just given birth to a ghost child.
Zhao Xiangping still found it hard to believe: "But, but when I took her pulse just now, she was less than a month pregnant."
But just now he looked at that evil child, and it looked to be about three years old.
Zhao Taohua explained, "That's because he first absorbed the essence of Sister Pearl and crawled out of her belly. Then, he absorbed the essence of Zhao Shengde and Cao Shi. That's why he was able to grow so big so quickly."
"And what about them now..." Grandma Feng asked.
At least three lives were lost.
Actually, Grandma Feng didn't care much about Zhao Shengde and Cao Shi, thinking they were just getting their comeuppance, but Pearl was innocent.
This child has had a tough time since marrying into the Zhao family. She only recently started to stand up for herself, but...
Grandma Feng felt sorry for Yan Zhenzhu, and seeing her lying on the ground looking like she was about to die made her even more heartbroken.
Zhao Taohua explained, "They only had their essence drained; they can be revived."
Everyone, please make way and don't block their sunlight. The sunlight can dispel the yin energy on them and help replenish their yang energy.
After Zhao Taohua finished speaking, she called over an aunt to help Yan Zhenzhu into the room and find her a clean set of clothes to change into.
Just then, Madam Yan weakly awoke. She grabbed Zhao Taohua's hand and said:
“Peach Blossom, my mother-in-law gave me some strange ginger and brown sugar water. I suspect she put something in it.”
Zhao Taohua frowned, immediately recalling the bowl she had just seen on the ground in the yard, which also seemed to possess a faint aura of yin.
Suddenly, Zhao Taohua seemed to understand that the evil child was fed to Yan Zhenzhu by Cao Shi!
An idea popped into Zhao Taohua's mind, and she leaned down and whispered in Yan Zhenzhu's ear:
"Sister-in-law Pearl, do you want to use this incident to win over Aunt Cao and Brother Shengde?"
From now on, this family will be run by you, and you'll be in charge.
