Chapter 174: Saved the Old Man
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Slap him awake,” Su Meng said indifferently.
Everyone: “…” Do you have to be so rude?
The moment Village Chief heard Su Meng say that she would hit him, he released his hand and stood to the side. Lin Ai was also far away and did not want to make a move, so they could only rely on Shen Jian.
Shen Jian looked at everyone with a bitter look and then gently hit the old man, but there was no reaction.
“You need to hit him harder to wake him up. Although it’s very impolite, it’s also to save his life,” Su Meng explained from the side.
Although he couldn’t bear it, Shen Jian still went all out. Thinking of how hard Su Meng hit him, he hit the old man’s face. This time, the old man finally woke up. He covered his face and cried out, “Why does my face hurt so much?”
Shen Jian wanted to go into the ground. When he saw that the old man had woken up, he quickly apologized to him, “I’m sorry, Sir. You wanted to jump into the well just now. No matter how I called you, you didn’t have any reaction. I could only use this method to wake you up.”
The old man was puzzled, “What did you say? Jump into the well? Why would I jump into the well? Hey, that’s not right. Wasn’t I at home just now? Why did I suddenly come here?”
The Village Chief told the old man the general meaning. After hearing it, the old man quickly thanked Su Meng and Shen Jian. “Thank you. If it weren’t for you, this old man would not be able to answer to you.”
“You don’t have to thank me. You are warm-hearted. Usually, you help others in big and small matters. This is your own reward. If it were anyone else, they would have jumped into the well long ago.” Su Meng spoke to the old man in a very respectful tone, because the old man had helped her yesterday.
Since everything was fine, the old man bid farewell to everyone. He was disgusted by this kind of place and usually never came here.
Seeing that the old man had left, Su Meng pointed at the few houses and asked, “Are those few houses occupied now?”
“Sigh, although we all know that this place is a treasure land of feng shui, how would a living person dare to compete with a dead person for a place? These few houses are just for the sake of getting some good feng shui. There are no people living in them. What they have is the ranking of the ancestors of every family in our village. Living people don’t dare to live in them. They can put down their memorial tablets and worship them for a long time.”
“Master, how are you going to resolve this matter?” the Village Chief asked.
Su Meng walked around the vicinity and took out a talisman that she had drawn in advance in the car. She stuck it on the stone beside the well.
Shen Jian was standing beside Su Meng. The well gave him a very uncomfortable feeling until Su Meng stuck the talisman on it. He felt that the sinister aura was gone in an instant.
“Fill up the well first, then tear down the house. Build an altar in this area and worship it once a month. After a year, if strange things don’t happen again in the village, it will be changed to once every six months.” Su Meng told the Village Chief the solution.
The Village Chief asked, “Is it that simple? But, you said that their fates are abnormal. What should we do about this?”
“These people’s fates have been changed. There is no way to solve it, but their descendants can avoid it.” Su Meng expressed her helplessness.
Hearing that Su Meng said there was no way, the Village Chief’s face immediately darkened. He said coldly, “Miss Su, we agreed just now that you would help the village solve the problem and I would give Hong Si to you. Now, you say that you can’t solve it?”
Seeing the Village Chief’s change of expression, Su Meng’s face also darkened. She said in a deep voice, “Village Chief, you have to know that it’s illegal to imprison others. I didn’t have to exchange conditions with you. Moreover, if I don’t help you, your descendants will continue to suffer. Now that the descendants are fine, it’s already the best solution.”
The atmosphere was a little low. Lin Ai, who was at the side, was a little dumbfounded. She quietly pulled Shen Jian to the side. She asked, “Why didn’t Sister Su Meng call the police directly? Why did she negotiate with them? It was the Village Chief who was at fault. What he did was illegal.”
“You don’t know about feng shui. If you forcefully take Brother Hong away, he will suffer a backlash. Boss needs to break the array at the Village Chief’s house to allow Brother Hong’s body to recover. If we call the police, Boss won’t be able to stay at the Village Chief’s house for long.” Shen Jian’s expression was solemn.

The Village Chief did not notice the commotion and was still negotiating with Su Meng.
Su Meng sneered. She said, “Village Chief, let’s get straight to the point. You heard the solution I mentioned and felt that any other feng shui master would be able to do it. Although you know the solution, other feng shui masters won’t be able to draw my talisman.”
