The following text

After breakfast with Zhou at the Beizhai, Zhou told Zhao Yu about the witch.

"When your father and I visited you this morning, they discussed and told people to come to the county to find a witch to drive away evil spirits for you."

As he said that, Zhou explained to his son what a witch was.

The so-called witch is commonly explained as a witch. It is generally women of a certain age. It is said that they have very special powers to communicate with the gods in the world. The more powerful ones can even directly expel the evil spirits that invade the human body.

After hearing this explanation, Zhao Yu was stunned for a while but couldn't come back to his senses.

In his previous life, he always implemented the belief that "seeing is true" and unless he saw it with his own eyes, he did not believe in such mysterious existences. Because of this, he never told fortunes and asked fortunes, burned incense and worshiped Buddhas, and only followed him to the temple to burn incense only as a belief, or as a spiritual comfort. He never thought that there would be any dreams that gods and Buddhas appeared to help him realize. After all, in his heart, he actually did not believe in such things.

But now, after waking up after a sleep, I have inexplicably arrived in a strange era, which has more or less shaken the materialism that Zhao Yu had insisted on in his past.

Perhaps there is indeed something indescribable in this world?

Maybe he noticed that his son was stunned. Zhou misunderstood something and rubbed Zhao Yu's hair and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, oh, in fact, your father and mother are still there, and he doesn't believe that any evil spirits have invaded your body, but... in short, it's okay."

Her words made Zhao Yu feel embarrassed.

If you think about it carefully, isn’t he the “evil spirit” that invaded Zhou’s son’s body? However, Zhou mistakenly regarded him as his biological son, which made Zhao Yu feel guilty.

But he didn't dare to say it straight.

Afterwards, Zhao Yu returned to the East Courtyard with the quiet girl who had packed her clothes and returned to the house where he lived.

There was only one bed in his room, and Zhou obviously had no intention of asking someone to move another bed. Perhaps in her opinion, Jingnu would become her youngest son's concubine sooner or later in a few years. It would be fine to let the two sleep on the same bed a few years in advance. Anyway, Zhao Yu was in his teens and did not have the ability to bully his daughter's family.

But Zhao Yu didn't think so. Seeing Jingnv's face blushing slightly, she was making the bed without saying a word, and then hugged another bedding onto the bed. Although Zhao Yu was willing to say something to resolve the embarrassment in the house at this moment, he really didn't feel like this.

Because the witch Zhou mentioned made him more or less concerned.

It is true that he did not believe in such an indescribable existence in his previous life, but now he dare not be so sure.

What if the witch invited does have magical powers and can see through his essence at a glance? Then what should he... go?

If he was really just expelled and returned to his original world, it would be nothing. After all, he did not come to this family out of his own obsession. Although he never saw Zhou from now on, it was indeed a very regrettable thing in his opinion.

Although Qidian Orphanage is often made fun of and criticized, this setting is mostly just to reduce the relatives who depict the protagonist's previous life. After all, these relatives almost do not account for much of the novel, so there is no need to focus on description.

In addition, it is to avoid individuals' provocations in advance, such as accusing the protagonist of being unfilial and forgetting his relatives in his previous life, and never thought about going back, so he simply tried to avoid future troubles.

Therefore, Zhao Yu was also an orphan in his previous life. Yes, he was a child who grew up in an orphanage.

cough.

It is precisely because he was an orphan who could not enjoy family affection in his previous life that Zhao Yu did not reject Zhou's sudden appearance of his mother.

More or less, I would still care a little bit. After all, in his previous life, he had never enjoyed the intimacy and doting of his son when his mother rubbed his cheek with her face. If the invited witch really saw the details...

Inexplicably, Zhao Yu felt a little irritated, and he was not in the mood to pay attention to Jingnv lying on the bed and tidying up the bedding, and walked straight outside the house, hoping that the fresh air outside the house could relieve his irritability.

And when he walked out of the house, he suddenly saw the jade carved beast placed on the wall.

Oh, by the way, Zhou told Zhao Yu about this jade carved beast yesterday.

This is a kind divine beast named Zuo Yu, with a lion head and tiger body, white hair and black pattern. Unlike some other tiger-like divine beasts or ferocious beasts such as Tsubasa, Qiongqi, White Tiger, etc., Zuo Yu is said to be kind by nature and cannot even bear to trample on grass. Even if he fills his stomach, he only eats natural dead creatures. In short, this divine beast that does not kill is very kind and kind.

It is also because of this that when Zhao Yu was young, Zhou specially asked someone to invite this statue of Zuo Yu, hoping that this divine beast named Zuo Yu could protect her young son. After all, according to the old alchemist at that time, Zhao Yu would have a great disaster around the age of ten, and if he could not overcome this hurdle, he would unfortunately die. Therefore, Zhou was particularly concerned.

The Yu in Zhao Yu's name is Yu from Zuo Yu.

Therefore, simply put, the divine beast Zuo Yu is like Zhao Yu's guardian god. Of course, this is just Zhou's wishful thinking. If there is indeed a divine beast like Zuo Yu in the world, whether he will protect Zhao Yu will have to be decided.

But then again, in order to ask the divine beast Zuo Yu to protect his youngest son Zhao Yu, Zhou has never forgotten to worship Zuo Yu in recent years. Although this jade statue was placed in Zhao Yu's house, and the once young Zhao Yu may not keep his mother's words in mind, Zhou still sent maids to his youngest son's house every day to worship fresh fruits and pastries in front of Zuo Yu's jade statue.

In the idea that it would rather believe in existence than non-existence, Zhao Yu stamped his foot in front of the statue of Zuo Yu and bowed to the statue.

But it's a pity, or should be said to be natural, the jade statue of Zuo Yu had no response.

Seeing this, there was a hint of hope that Zuo Yu Yu would appear like Zhao Yu, with a hint of self-deprecating smile on his face.

"Young Master?"

The voice of a quiet girl came from beside her.

It turned out that Jingnu had already laid the bed at this moment. Seeing her little master standing in front of the statue of Zuo Yuyu in a daze, she asked with some concern: "Young Master, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about the witch the wife said? Yinu's opinion, the young master does not need to worry about this. If you are possessed by evil spirits, it's just that the people in the house are chewing on the ground..."

“Hmm?”

Zhao Yu was stunned and asked Jingnv with some confusion: "Does there many people in the house know about this?"

Hearing this, Jingnu realized that she had lost her words and subconsciously covered her mouth with her hands. It was not until Zhao Yu asked again that she admitted with some anger: "Yes, after the young master accidentally fell from the tree yesterday, he didn't remember Cao An, Zhang Ji and others. This matter spread quickly..."

"Oh." Zhao Yu responded casually, and said in his heart: It's worthy of being a good thing that doesn't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles away. In just a moment, the mansion spreads.

"No wonder when I went to see my mother just now, I always felt that the people I met on the way looked at me a little strange..."

Zhao Yu, who knew it later, suddenly realized it.

Perhaps seeing Zhao Yu not speaking, Jingnv walked up to comfort him with concern and said, "Young Master, don't care about the rumors. The young master is the young master, how could he be an evil spirit?"

After hearing Jingnu's words, Zhao Yu didn't know how to reply, so he just nodded.

"Since you come, you'll be at ease. If that witch is really as powerful as the rumor, it's no big deal... although...

Standing in front of Zuo Yu's statue, Zhao Yu thought to himself.

He was still a little confused.

In the afternoon of that day, the servants in the mansion invited a witch from the county town.

When Zhou brought this witch to Zhao Yu's house, Zhao Yu secretly looked at the witch.

According to Zhao Yu's visual observation, the witch was about fifty years old. She gradually had a black cloth wrapped around her gray head. She was wearing a black jacket with inexplicable patterns or patterns. She looked very good on her wrinkled face. She had to be quite energetic and was a very energetic old lady.

Behind the witch was two young men, a man and a woman, followed by two young men, each holding a large cloth bag in his hand, and he didn't know what was in it.

When he first saw this witch, even Zhao Yu was nervous for no reason, until the witch smiled and said to him: "Second Young Master, don't worry, the old woman will definitely expel the evil things that invaded the second young master's body."

At that time, Zhao Yu opened his mouth and felt a little confused, but he was worried and asked deliberately: "Goddess, can you really do it?"

“That’s natural.”

The witch didn't know what Zhao Yu was thinking, and said to Zhou confidently: "Madam, you can send someone to a radius of dozens of miles to inquire. Everyone knows the reputation of my grandson, and everyone knows..."

Zhou nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "Yes, I heard about the reputation of the witch, so I sent someone to invite you."

Seeing Zhou's wife, the witch, was very happy. She faced Zhao Yu and showed that there were no few teeth left in her mouth. She grinned and said, "Anyway, don't worry, the second son."

“…Oh, then I’m relieved.”

After looking at the witch, Zhao Yu forced a smile.

At this moment, he was no longer worried or nervous.

After a long time of love, this witch was just a fool. Zhao Yu secretly felt that it was not worth it for his previous uneasiness.

In the next half day, the witch took her two disciples to start the so-called exorcist ceremony.

Zhao Yu sat on a chair. At first, he watched the witch rushing around with strange steps with interest. From time to time, he made some strange screams in his mouth. But after watching for a long time, Zhao Yu was tired of it, so he sat on the chair and took a nap. Anyway, he cooperated with the witch's behavior and just sat on this chair.

When he was awakened from his sleepiness by the quiet girl in a daze, he happened to hear the witch promised not far away that he had promised that the evil spirits that invaded his body had been expelled.

My mother, Zhou, was very happy. Zhao Jing, the Marquis of Luyang Township, who appeared at some point, immediately ordered someone to give me a reward, and the witch smiled.

When everyone present celebrated this, Zhao Yu only curled his lips secretly.
