Chapter 39: Did You Encounter a Ghost?
The fat woman and the matchmaker laughed, and the matchmaker praised: "Guizhi, Dahai is very hardworking! He is good at farm work and household chores..."
The matchmaker started to praise him with all kinds of praises behind his eyes, and Xifengyinlu, who was listening nearby, felt a little embarrassed. Was he still talking about his father who was lazy and only knew how to gamble?
One wanted to earn money for his gambling, and the other wanted her to be good-looking, so the marriage between the two families was settled. Because they were both second marriages, there was no big ceremony, mainly because the family of Xifengyinlu had no money to do so. They only prepared two tables to invite relatives and friends for a meal.
On the second day after the marriage, Dahai asked Guizhi for a dowry. Guizhi frowned, but still gave him a few thousand dollars. Later, she found out that he had used the money to gamble, so she immediately pulled him back by the ear.
Dahai was dissatisfied and made a fuss in the yard, wanting to go out. Guizhi could no longer tolerate it, so she knocked him down and beat him.
The yard was in turmoil, with screams and curses. The neighbors all came over to watch the fun, and Xifeng Yinlu also hid behind the door to watch, feeling extremely comfortable. Guizhi's daughter just glanced at it lightly and sat there peeling walnuts and eating them.
Xifengyinlu was puzzled and asked her, "Huahua, aren't you afraid?"
The little girl named Huahua rolled her eyes at him and said, "What are you afraid of? I've seen all kinds of situations. When my father just died, several uncles came to my house to make trouble, wanting to occupy my house for free. My mother fought several of them alone and beat them to a pulp!"
Xifengyinlu had also heard about these things, so he laughed too. It seemed that his father had suffered a lot.
Seeing that he didn't say her mother was tough like others did, and even laughed, Huahua asked him, "Aren't you afraid? They are all afraid of my mother."
The smile that sucked the wind and drank the dew froze. He heard screams and slapping sounds from outside. He swallowed and said, "Yes, I am a little scared."
"Don't be afraid. My mother is very reasonable. As long as you don't provoke her, she won't hit you."
The little girl handed him a peeled walnut and said, "Come on, brother, let's eat walnuts."
After his grandmother passed away, Xifengyinlu felt like he had no relatives left in this world, but now, when he heard the word "brother" call him, his heart softened and his eyes became a little moist.
Seeing his eyes red, the little girl rolled her eyes helplessly. What a timid and crybaby brother. Alas, it seems that there will be one more person who needs her protection in the future.
In the next few days, whenever Dahai sat down at the gambling table, Guizhi would pull him back and beat him up. Once, Guizhi was so angry that she even poured feces into his mouth. Dahai was so disgusted that he couldn't eat for several days.
After being beaten several times in a row, he dared not go out anymore. He huddled in the corner and sobbed in the middle of the night. Why was his life so miserable? He was supposed to earn money to gamble, sob!

Time goes back to when Xifeng Yinlu and Chi Qiao hung up the video. Chi Qiao was originally going to connect with the netizen who wanted to introduce a partner to his mother, but an netizen named Xiaoxiamiyouayou gave him a gift.
[Anchor! Can you help me check first? I feel like there is something unclean around me! ]
Chi Qiao asked the netizen for his opinion. The netizen was also very interested in Xiao Xiami's swimming problem, and his mother had been causing trouble for the family for a long time, so there was no rush. He let Chi Qiao show Xiao Xiami first, and he could be the first one in line tomorrow.
Since the netizen agreed, Chi Qiao connected with Xiao Xiami Youayou.
After the video was connected, there was a short-haired girl on the other end. She was sitting on the bed wrapped in a thick quilt, her face was red and her eyes were dark blue. She coughed for a while before she spoke.
[Isn't it summer? Isn't it hot for a girl to wrap herself up so thickly? ]
[Why does the girl look so haggard? Did she really run into something unclean? ]
[I suddenly got goosebumps, so scary, barrage of comments to protect me! ]
Xiao Xiami finally stopped coughing. Her eyes were a little red because of the force of the coughing. She looked up at her phone and said to Chi Qiao, "Master, I have been suffering from frequent insomnia since a month ago. I also have nightmares as soon as I fall asleep. In my dreams, there are zombies and ghosts, and some crawl out of the TV, crying and asking for my life. After that, I started to lose my hair severely."
She touched her ear-length hair, sniffed, and looked like she was about to cry. "My hair used to be very long and black, but now half of it has fallen out. I had no choice but to cut it short."
Netizens looked at her hair and found that her hair was yellow. Although it was curled, it could still be seen that it was a little sparse.
"My mother said that I was haunted by a ghost and taught me many folk remedies, such as putting scissors and garlic under the pillow and putting a bowl of water and chopsticks in the corner of the room. It worked at first, but it only worked for two days. After that, it was back to the old state. Master, please help me see if I am really haunted by a ghost?"
After hearing Xiao Xiami talk about folk methods, netizens started a topic:
[By the way, what is the principle behind these folk remedies? Do they really work? ]
[I don't know about scissors and garlic, but my family has done this before. My child was crying very hard, so my mother put chopsticks at the door, and my child stopped crying and making trouble after that.]
[Is it so magical? But what are standing chopsticks? ]
[Pour a bowl of water and stand three chopsticks up in the bowl. If they can stand, it works.]
[Can it stand upright? Why use three chopsticks? Can't we use four or five? ]
[I don't know about other places, but here we all use three chopsticks. The superstitious saying is that ghosts eat three incense sticks. The scientific saying is that the triangle is stable and can stand upright.]
The netizens went off topic while talking, and one netizen reminded them, "Don't you want to listen to the story?"
Only then did netizens turn their attention to the little shrimp in the video.
Xiao Xiami didn't read the comments, but was immersed in his own thoughts. "Later, my mother sent me a consecrated Buddha pendant, but it was useless. Master, is the ghost that haunts me very powerful, or is there not just one, but several?"
"And my mother said she wanted to come see me, but I didn't let her come because I was afraid that the evil spirits around me would haunt her again. Master, you must help me."
"I feel like my condition has gotten worse in the past few days. Not only am I suffering from insomnia, nightmares, and hair loss, I'm also extremely cold and sometimes feel groggy. Is a ghost trying to possess me?"
It can be seen that the girl loves to talk. She talked a lot, and although she kept asking Chi Qiao questions, she didn't give Chi Qiao any chance to speak.
Chi Qiao sighed, ate the fruit and listened to her. Seeing that she had finally finished talking and was still looking at him nervously, he put down the fruit stick and said, "You didn't run into a ghost, and no ghost wants to possess you."
[Ah? No, no ghosts? No, I'm ready to watch the master catch ghosts live...]
[No way? Then why does this girl always dream about ghosts and lose her hair? ]
Some netizens even shook their heads and said, "I see her forehead is black, maybe she has seen a ghost!"
"Master, did you read that correctly?"
Xiao Xiami was a little bit skeptical. If it wasn't a ghost, then how could she explain all the things that happened to her?
"I'm not mistaken. You really didn't encounter a ghost."
