Chapter Seven: Night had fallen, and the courtyard was fille
rgive me."Yang Fan single-handedly propped himself up on the counter, taking back the talisman from Sun Zheng's hand. He was a little reluctant to let go, staring longingly at the talisman in her han...When she took out the money, both Granny Xu and Aunt Zhang's faces changed.
Grandma Xu narrowed her eyes, "Yang Fan, what are you doing We gave you things and you want money in return What do you think we are"
Auntie Zhang: "We're not selling anything to you."
Yang Fan explained: "It's not... Grandma Xu..."
"It's not about what it is or isn't, we're bringing this to you, you don't need to pay us," Grandma Xu placed the items on the table and pulled Aunt Zhang out the door.
"Yang Fan, you don't cook at home these days, come to my place for meals."
Though he was elderly, his legs and feet were still nimble. He had walked to the courtyard in just this amount of time.
Yang Fan: “...”
In the end, she couldn't refuse. After all, she really didn't know how to cook.
He put the one hundred yuan back in his pocket and looked down at the food in his arms and the necessities on the table.
Yang Fan thought to himself that catching the vegetable-stealing ghost tonight would be reward enough.
In the evening, Mr. Li invited her to dinner, Yang Fan didn't stand on ceremony and went over for another meal.
Last night, Grandma Xu made stir-fried pork, salt-baked pork belly, chili fried potatoes, and a dish of roasted eggplant.
It was so delicious that Yang Fan ate two full bowls of rice before putting down his bowl.
Seeing her eat so much, Grandma Xu couldn't be happier.
After dinner, she wanted to help clean up the dishes, but after breaking two bowls, Li Dajie ruthlessly chased her out of the kitchen.
On her way home, Granny Xu insisted on seeing her off.
Outside, the sky was gradually darkening. On the way, Grandma Xu reminded her, "Yang Fan, don't go out wandering at night, especially after 10 pm. Go to sleep early and don't go out."
Yang Fan's eyes moved slightly, it seemed that these elders had also sensed something. She pretended to be innocent and asked her, "Why is that, Grandma Xu"
Grandma Xu: "As a young girl, it's unsafe to be out at night. Listen to Grandma Xu and stay indoors after dark."
Yang Fan nodded. "Okay, I understand, Grandma Xu."
In just a few short moments, the two reached her doorstep. Watching as she stepped into the yard, Grandma Xu then turned and left.
Standing in the courtyard, watching the old man leave, Yang Fan turned her head back into the living room and sat down on the sofa. She closed her eyes and slowly, the surrounding spiritual energy gathered around her and entered her body, little by little.
Time passed by every second. The original quiet courtyard suddenly began to become noisy.
"Have all the loquats on this tree been picked Why are there only so few left"
Under the loquat tree, several dark figures gathered. They looked at the few loquats on the tree and spoke.
The person who lived in this house has returned, she must have picked it.
"Big greedy girl, picking so many"
"Hee hee... She must think the food we've eaten is delicious, right" The shadow's voice was extremely lewd.
"They're back here, isn't the inn opening today" A shadow noticed the key point.
Of course! Since the people here are back, the station must be open, so they can pick up their packages!
Seeing everyone head towards the station, a few dark figures under the trees also followed.
At the station entrance, countless black figures stood at the doorway discussing.
"Finally, there's a new station master! I wonder what he's like and if he'll do a good job. I hope he's not as useless as the last one."
"It's said to be the niece of the previous stationmaster, that little girl named Yang Fan."
The black shadow whose voice was the most gruff heard that the stationmaster was a young girl, and immediately let out a mocking laugh, "Then this Huangquan Station isn't ours to decide anymore."
"Haha, the delivery inside must be chosen by our big brother."
Another shadow echoed, "Mighty brother!"
The shadowy figures at the back, hearing what the figures at the front were saying, looked at each other. In each other's pitch-black eyes, they saw despair.
"What time is it Why hasn't she opened the door yet You guys better go urge her!" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"Okay, big brother."
Several dark figures floated towards the small building.
Sitting in the living room, the voices of the shadowy figures outside reached Yang Fan's ears word for word. She slowly opened her eyes, a barely perceptible glint of killing intent flashing in them. She took a breath and let out a cloud of foul air.
knock knock knock knock
The knocking kept going.
Yang Fan stood up, turned around, and saw many ghostly faces pressed against the windows behind the sofa.
Those ghastly faces were twisted and contorted, some with bloodshot gray eyes weeping constantly, smearing their entire faces and the windows. Others had features scattered haphazardly, with mouths above their eyes, their flesh and blood a mangled mess.
Such a visually impactful scene, if an ordinary person saw it, they would definitely be scared half to death. But when Yang Fan saw this scene, his calm face instantly collapsed.
I'm going to die! These ghosts dare to dirty her window!
When the ghosts outside saw her change her face, they thought they had frightened her and were smug about it.
"Haha... she was scared by us."
I think Yang Fan was scared by them, their grimaces twisted and deformed even more terrifyingly.
Yang Fan coldly watched them court death. He raised his hand and drew a talisman of pacifying souls, golden runes appearing in the air.
The ghosts outside stared blankly at the golden talisman in mid-air.
"Hey…what's that" the ghost asked with a look of innocent curiosity.
"Run! That bitch knows how to draw talismans!" A sharp, explosive sound rang out.
The ghosts scattered and tried to run, but it was too late.
Yang Fan raised his hand and waved, the golden talisman expanding and spreading to cover the entire house and the courtyard outside. All the ghosts in the courtyard were struck by the golden talisman.
All ghosts were instantly frozen in place, unable to move.
"What's going on Why can't I move"
"I can't move either."
Just now, the ghosts were smug and arrogant, but now their faces are full of terror.
Other ghosts were also confused, they couldn't move!
When it came, everything was still fine.
In the ghost group, some ghost shouted, "Damn it! This woman knows how to draw talismans!"
Do the people here draw talismans Is she a Taoist priestess
Even a Taoist master wouldn't just casually brandish talismans at ghosts, they're just friendly spirits here to pick up their deliveries.
The sounds in the yard became louder.
At that moment, the door of the small house creaked open, and Yang Fan strode out, radiating an aura of menace. The courtyard was dark as ink, and she stood bathed in light at the doorway, resembling a celestial being descending from heaven, her figure enveloped in a halo of sanctity.
The ghosts in the yard suddenly fell silent. The whole yard was eerily quiet, and the ghosts stared at her blankly.
Squeezed at the very front of the warehouse, the ghost who had originally claimed to be in charge of Huang Quan Station, upon seeing Yang Fan, desperately tried to ignore his own existence. Unfortunately, due to the pressure exerted by the soul-suppressing talisman, he was unable to move.
The ghost's intuition told him that this woman was trouble.
Yang Fan stood at the door, looking at the yard packed with ghosts, and slowly opened his mouth, "You broke into my yard privately and stole the loquats from my yard. Tell me, what kind of death do you want"
She casually drew a Five Thunder Talisman, the golden talisman paper emitting a crackling sound of 'crackle and boom'.n Bin, who was rushing towards Yuancun to edit, suddenly sneezed twice in a row."Captain, are you feeling unwell" Feng Kelei, who was driving, asked with concern.Yan Bin sniffed, feeling a bit congest...
