Chapter 89 Entangled by the Mother Fungus
She walked up to Zhao Feng, waved her hand in front of his eyes, and called out "Brother" again.
As expected, Zhao Feng didn't react at all, and didn't even glance at her, as if he really couldn't hear her voice or see her hand.
She seemed possessed; a bad feeling crept into her heart, and she immediately said to Zhao Daqiang:
"Father, my elder brother isn't reacting at all!"
Zhao Daqiang said impatiently, "How could I not know he wasn't reacting? He didn't even flinch while bleeding so much."
Zhao Lianhua shook her head and quickly explained the strange thing she had noticed: "It's like my brother is being controlled by something. All he cares about is getting the twenty taels from Grandma to marry Zhang Caixia. So he doesn't care about anything else."
Just like when I first became addicted to being a contrarian, all I wanted to do was argue, no matter who the other person was!
Upon hearing Zhao Lianhua's words, Zhou's eyes widened in alarm. "So, Xiao Feng is possessed again?" she exclaimed.
As she asked Zhao Daqiang to untie Zhao Feng's ropes, she looked into Zhao Feng's pupils and found that his eyes were indeed lifeless, like a puppet.
Old Mrs. Sun recalled the scene in the herb field earlier and cursed:
"It must be that little bastard Zhang Caixia! She cast a curse on my precious grandson!"
After hearing her words, the grandson acted as if he were possessed. What else could it be but possession?
Zhao Sanshi chimed in, "Just two days ago, Xiao Feng promised you, Mother, that he would let you decide his marriage and that he wouldn't marry Zhang Caixia."
Today, Zhang Caixia said something to him in front of the medicinal herb field, and he suddenly changed his mind.
There must be something in here!
Grandma Sun told Zhao Sanshi to quickly go and call Zhao Taohua over to take a look, then gritted her teeth and said:
"That damned little dog! If she harms my precious grandson, I will never let her get away with it!"
……
Zhao Taohua and the menstrual spirit together delivered the straw mats to the medicinal herb field and covered the field with them. The straw sheds for the Zhao family's ten acres of medicinal herb field were now mostly completed.
When Zhao Taohua arrived at the medicinal herb field, she was surprised to see Shen Ming standing out among them.
His long, snow-white hair shimmered silver in the sunlight, making it impossible not to notice him.
"Brother Shen Ming, you're here too? Have you finished all the chores at your house?"
Under Zhao Taohua's surprised gaze, Shen Ming nodded.
Zhao Taohua was shocked: "All five mu have been finished?"
Shen Ming nodded again: "I hired a lot of people, so we finished quickly and came to help Uncle Ershu and Aunt Qian."
The Qian family has always had a good impression of Shen Ming, and since his arrival today, their progress has accelerated considerably.
He is strong and works quickly.
It's truly astonishing that an ordinary person could possess such strength.
Madam Qian called out, "Shen Ming, come to my house for lunch later. You can't refuse."
Shen Ming smiled and agreed, "Okay, thank you, Aunt Qian."
Shen Ming, Zhao Ershu, Qian Shi, the argumentative fellow, and the snail spirit worked together to build a thatched hut, while Zhao Taohua and the menstrual spirit carried a straw blanket toward the medicinal herb field.
Zhao Taohua estimated the time; with Shen Ming's help, they should be able to finish covering the structures three days before the hailstorm and the sharp drop in temperature.
“Peach Blossom!”
Just as Zhao Taohua was carrying the straw blanket, she suddenly heard someone calling her name from the edge of the field. Turning around, she saw Zhao Lianhua running anxiously towards her.
The moment Zhao Taohua saw Zhao Lianhua, she threw the straw blanket in her hand to the ground, her gaze instantly freezing and locking onto Zhao Lianhua.
The menstrual spirit looked at her in surprise: "Miss Zhao, you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhao Taohua had already left, so she had to move the grass blanket on the ground by herself.
"Peach Blossom, come back to the old house with me quickly, my elder brother seems to be possessed by an evil spirit again."
He wouldn't listen to or look at anything; all he wanted was to take the twenty taels from his grandmother's trunk and use a grand sedan chair to marry Zhang Caixia!
Zhao Lianhua said anxiously to Zhao Taohua.
"Huh? Twenty taels? And a sedan chair carried by eight men?"
Upon hearing this, Qian, who was working, widened her eyes and looked at Zhao Lianhua in disbelief.
Zhao Ershu asked, "Lianhua, didn't your grandmother say that she had broken off the engagement with Zhang Caixia? Why does Xiaofeng want to marry her now?"
A dowry of twenty taels of silver and a sedan chair carried by eight men—this was something unheard of in the surrounding villages for decades.
"Second Uncle, it's not that Grandma wants to marry my eldest brother, it's that my eldest brother is obsessed with marrying Zhang Caixia."
Zhao Lianhua gets angry just thinking about it. No one in the family likes Zhang Caixia, except for her eldest brother…
Zhao Taohua looked at the trace of aura on her body that did not belong to her and said, "That's because he was entangled by the fungal mother spirit."
"Bacteria mother spirit?"
Zhao Lianhua had no idea what kind of spirit this was, but when she thought about Zhao Feng's current state at home, she felt that it must not be a good spirit.
"Peach Blossom, go and take a look at Xiao Feng!"
Madam Qian also disliked Zhang Caixia; the moment Zhang Caixia opened her mouth, Madam Qian could tell she was brainless.
Moreover, Qian also heard from Durian Spirit that Zhang Caixia and her three brothers had come to their house and caused trouble.
If we didn't have durian extract at home, they probably would have really smashed our house up.
It's best to avoid having any dealings with such mindless and unreasonable people.
If Xiao Feng marries a wife like that, he probably won't have a good life in the future.
When Zhao Taohua arrived at Zhao Feng's room, she immediately saw Zhao Feng being pinned down on the bed by Zhao Daqiang and Zhao Sanshi.
When the people at the Zhao family's old house saw her arrive, they were incredibly welcoming. Zhou immediately went to the kitchen and made her a bowl of steaming hot sweet soup.
"Peach Blossom, what's wrong with Xiao Feng?" Zhou asked worriedly.
Everyone in the Zhao family's old house looked at her, hoping she could help Zhao Feng return to normal.
“His consciousness has been controlled by the curse of the Mother Fungus,” Zhao Taohua said.
"A curse? Peach Blossom, is there any way to break it?"
Grandma Sun asked anxiously and immediately took out ten taels of silver to give to Zhao Taohua.
She has already spent twenty taels of silver exorcising evil spirits for her beloved grandson twice. Now she can marry a wife who is as beautiful as an angel and as virtuous as a housewife.
But the stubborn grandson insisted on marrying Zhang Caixia.
Once the curse on her grandson is lifted, she will immediately find him a wife so that he won't cause the family to lose money again because of Zhang Caixia!
After Zhao Taohua took the ten taels, she said, "Yes, as long as the curse power is severed, it will be fine."
Fortunately, it wasn't the mother fungus spirit possessing my cousin, otherwise it would have been a real problem.
"Troublesome?" Zhao Lianhua asked curiously.
"Yes, just like last time when the snail spirit possessed my cousin and almost took over his body."
Zhao Taohua sensed that this fungal mother spirit's cultivation level was not strong, at most a hundred years, which was not enough to transform into human form.
These kinds of spirits desire human form even more.
She walked towards Zhao Feng and stopped in front of him. She gathered a ball of spiritual energy in her palm, and instantly that ball of spiritual energy transformed into a sharp spiritual blade.
She grabbed a knife and plunged it into Zhao Feng's head!
The people in the Zhao family's old house were all startled. They heard a sound like the spirit blade colliding with something, followed by a sound like something being cut off.
