You said you would ascend to the immortal world, why did you end up in a mental hospital?.

Chapter 7 Lian

The little girl and Li Shouling looked at each other and were so scared that they quickly lowered their heads to eat.

With the immortal power in my body, my eyesight has improved a lot.

Even though I was several tables away, I could still see the little girl holding her bowl of rice...

There is no food in it.

"Immortal, don't you drink? Is our wine too bad?"

The village chief's words drew his attention back.

Li Shouling looked at the wine in the small cup.

"No, it has nothing to do with the quality of the wine. I just don't like wine."

The village chief stood up immediately, his face full of panic.

"Oh, my apologies, I didn't even think of asking you this question in advance. I am old and confused. I hope the Immortal will forgive me..."

Li Shouling waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

But the village chief did not sit down, but continued to ask: "Apart from wine, we only have water and juice squeezed from Zhangjia berries. Immortal, what do you think..."

Li Shouling was a little curious about what the juice in this world was like.

"Juice, then."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shouling suddenly noticed that the cup of raw medicine had not moved.

If there weren't so many people, Li Shouling would have wanted to slap his head.

Because she is invisible, I always subconsciously ignore her existence.

Fortunately I remembered.

"Brother Shengyao, what do you want to drink? Water or juice?"

A faint sound of mosquitoes and flies "juice" quietly entered Li Shouling's ears.

So Li Shouling said to the village chief: "Then give me and my brother a glass of juice each."

The village chief immediately ordered someone to get it.

Li Shouling tasted the food.

The three chickens are cooked with coarse salt, drizzled with soy sauce, and one that looks like butter chicken.

The fish was boiled with some grass he had never seen before.

The taste is very...

Well, health.

Those vegetarian dishes that are either green vegetables or some other wild vegetables taste healthier.

As the saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease.

Although it’s not bitter, it’s astringent… almost the same.

Suddenly he seemed to be hallucinating.

Like a thank you?
I glanced into the air and saw a piece of fish floating in the air, then disappeared along with the chopsticks.

Nothing can be seen.

At this time, the fat man who had spoken before spoke again.

"I, Zhang Youfu, offer a toast to the Immortal!"

He swallowed it in one gulp.

Li Shouling did not reply, but just nodded.

"It is a great fortune to offer a glass of wine to an immortal! I hope I can get some of his energy and have good business next year!"

Li Shouling just smiled at this.

He is not a real immortal, so what's the point of talking to him about this?

Then another person toasted.

"I also offer a toast to the immortal, and borrow a bit of his spirit so that I can give birth to a son next time!"

Li Shouling nodded politely.

But I always feel like something is wrong.

At this time, the village chief also toasted.

"I'll give you a toast too, old man. Get some of the immortal energy and live ten more years!"

Li Shouling:?

He suddenly came to his senses.

Why do they talk like they are trying to take away other people's luck?
Are you here to take advantage of me?

These three people seem to be of extraordinary status.

After all, they were the only ones wearing fine cotton instead of coarse linen, and their clothes were not solid colors, but even had some patterns on them.

It seemed like the three of them had started something, and more and more people came up to Li Shouling to toast and make wishes.

One could clearly feel that their respect was quickly transforming into greed.

There were even people pushing in from the back, as if they would lose out if they missed out.

In the past, Li Shouling had never experienced or even seen such a thing.

He didn't even know whether to be angry or what, so he just sat there stiffly, nodding in response.

What was supposed to be a happy meal turned into a tangled and tormenting one.

Soon, the meal was over and the people had finished toasting.

Ordinary villagers went home after eating and drinking.

Only these "high-ranking officials" are still accompanying Li Shouling and the others.

It's not just sitting, it's mainly listening to the village chief's chatter.

They talked about how many people died in the latest plague, or how the war next door almost affected them.

Li Shouling was so sleepy after talking so much that he finally got to the point.

"My god, we are really unlucky this time."

"It was a perfect Rat Ghost Marriage, and the process was perfect, but the Rat Fairy actually confiscated it!"

"As a result, the rat bride became a rat abandoned woman."

"After that, we won't have any peace..."

"On the one hand, we have to guard against the plague from other villages, and on the other hand, we have to be on guard against that abandoned woman..."

Li Shouling interrupted: "Why was it rejected?"

He had a vague feeling that something was amiss.

The village chief sighed.

"Hey, it must be that damned girl Zhang Pandi who is not faithful to her husband."

"The county asked a fortune teller to tell the fortune, and she said that the Gray Fairy has chosen her. If she marries him, she will not bring the plague here."

Li Shouling clicked his tongue in his heart and secretly cursed feudal superstition for being harmful.

But I soon realized that feudal superstition didn't seem to be the case here.

So he asked, "How do you know what Mi Po said is true?"

The village chief was stunned and whispered, "Does the immortal suspect Mi Po? But... I always went to her before, and it always worked..."

Well, if it really works, there’s nothing much to say. He is not someone who doesn’t know how to adapt.

But now the point is...

"So you now have two problems."

"The first is that Zhang Pandi has become a rat-wasting abandoned woman and is harassing the village."

"The second is the coming plague, right?"

The village chief nodded quickly.

"Then I'll ask the questions and you'll answer them."

The village chief nodded and responded.

"When does Zhang Pandi usually appear?"

"At night, any time after dark."

"Did she kill anyone?"

"No one has been killed yet, but some people have been scared crazy."

"Is there any pattern of action?"

"No, not at all."

"So I have to keep watch at night?"

"Uh... I can't think of any other solution for now."

After confirming that he would have to live a life of day and night reversal, Li Shouling left.

He didn't give the village chief and his friends as much face as before, because now it seemed unnecessary and they didn't seem to be a good match.

When he reached the door, Li Shouling was surprised to find that everyone had left, but the little girl was still there.

Li Shouling took the initiative to go up and say hello.

"What's wrong? Are you waiting for someone?"

The little girl nodded and handed over a candy.

"For me?"

The little girl nodded again and took a step forward.

Li Shouling’s first reaction was that she was also here to take advantage of the fairy spirit.

But such a cute kid, just let him take advantage of it, since he didn't have it anyway.

Take the candy.

It is white and plump, with some sugar residue stuck to it.

Throw it into your mouth.

It's greasy, as if lard has been rolled in white sugar.

It was so disgusting that he almost vomited.

After swallowing it, Li Shouling smiled and touched the little girl's head.

“Thank you, this is the best thing I’ve eaten today!”

Seeing his sincere smile, the little girl also smiled.

After smiling for a while, his face was filled with confusion again.

In the end, she turned and ran away without saying a word.

Li Shouling thought it was just a shy child and didn't take it seriously.

Besides, it's rare to see someone who isn't here to make a wish, and he's so cute, which immediately makes me feel better.

"She's so cute! I'd be so happy to have a sister like her."

"If it's possible...I'll also...brother..."

Li Shouling:?

There seemed to be some sound just now?
Not sure if it was hallucination or what, just ignore it.

Looking at Li Shouling walking towards the restaurant, the old village chief looked a little gloomy.

Thinking that the immortal seemed to like the little girl very much just now, he clenched his crutches tightly.
