The ultimate master in the city

Hearing this, Zhang Shisan was puzzled and interrupted Liu Zhenguo, asking, "Isn't your question a bit roundabout? What does worshipping the mountain god have to do with this?"

Zhou Fengchen also found it strange, "The key point is that they've brought up things from decades ago."

"Can you two please stop interrupting?" The young nun, Kuzhu, had a temper. She glared at them, then turned to Liu Zhenguo and said, "You continue!"

"Okay, okay, I can't explain this clearly unless we start from the beginning."

Liu Zhenguo continued his narration:

Su Sungua thought he had entered the wrong house, so he ran out to look around. It was indeed his own house!

Looking back at the girl, she appeared to be in her early twenties, dressed in a festive red robe, with makeup on her face; she was incredibly beautiful.

Su Sungua stammered, "Who...who are you? What...what are you doing at my house?"

The girl smiled and said, "I'm your wife, whose house would I go to if not yours?"

Wife...

Su Sungua immediately felt like his brain wasn't working properly. He thought to himself, "I've been single for so many years, I'm almost going crazy thinking about women, and I don't have the money to get married. Where did this wife suddenly come from? Are you kidding me?"

"I...I don't know you," Su Sungua said.

The girl ran over with a smile and took his hand, saying, "Oh, I'm Xiaohua from Yanghuai Village, twenty miles away. I really like your bamboo weaving skills and have wanted to live with you for a long time. You can't look down on me!"

When the girl took his hand, Su Sungua felt lightheaded and his bones went limp. He didn't think about anything anymore. He ate a meal with the girl, then washed up and went to sleep, enjoying a shameless night.

The next day, before dawn, the girl Xiaohua got up and said, "I have to go home during the day, so I can only come to keep you company at night. Remember, don't tell anyone, or it will ruin my reputation and I won't be able to come anymore."

Finished talking and left.

Su Sungua reluctantly saw her off at the door, and was absent-minded all day, fearing that Xiao Hua would never return. He waited anxiously until nightfall, only to find that Xiao Hua had come again.

From that day on, Su Sungua worked as a bamboo weaver during the day and waited for Xiaohua to come over at night. After dinner, they would do naughty things, and Su Sungua felt incredibly happy. He thought that this was the kind of life a man should live.

It was market day again, and Su Sungua invited Old Liu to go to the market to sell handicrafts.

Old Liu sensed something was wrong. Su Sungua was acting differently than usual; his face was dark, he was yawning constantly, and he seemed listless. So he asked him, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Su Sungua laughed and said, "What are you talking about? I'm having the time of my life!"

Old Liu shook his head. "No! No! You're definitely wrong. You look like you're seriously ill!"

Su Sungua stubbornly clapped his hands and feet, "He's as sturdy as an ox, with no problems whatsoever, except he recently found an old..."

I'll stop here. Xiaohua told me not to tell anyone.

Old Liu seized the opportunity, "Old what?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Su Sungua shook his head.

Old Liu, unable to get any answers, didn't press further, but he grew suspicious and began to mutter to himself.

Back then, people were poor, and friends were true friends. The friendship was much stronger than the casual acquaintances of today. After the market closed in the afternoon, Su Sungua said goodbye and hurried home. Old Liu was worried, so he secretly followed him, thinking to himself, "I want to see what this kid has been up to lately."

By the time they arrived at Su Sungua's house, it was almost dark. Old Liu was squatting under a big tree, staring at the door of his house.

After waiting for more than an hour, a girl in red suddenly floated out from the dark, overgrown weeds in front of the village, plunged into Su Sungua's house, and then a burst of laughter came from inside.

Old Liu was initially confused, wondering how a person could float while walking. The key point was that this was a beautiful young woman, how did she end up in Su Sungua's house? This guy was over thirty years old, ugly as a rogue, what kind of girl would be so blind as to offer herself up?

He tiptoed to the door and peered through the window. He saw Su Sungua cooking two side dishes and eating them with the girl. The two were cuddling and hugging as they ate.

When he shone the light on the girl, Old Liu was horrified and fell to the ground with a thud.

It turned out that after Su Sungua agreed to make paper houses and paper cars for the middle-aged man that day, Old Liu waited until night but did not see him return. So he took his handicrafts and wandered home. Two days later, when he went to the market to buy things, he encountered a funeral. He inquired and found out that it was the middle-aged man's family. Curious, he went over to see what was going on.

Back then, burial was the norm, and cremation wasn't common. Coincidentally, the big red coffin rotted, the ropes weren't tied securely, and a wooden plank next to it cracked. The body of the girl in red clothes fell onto the street on the spot. Many people saw it, and Old Liu also mustered up the courage to take a second look.

That girl is none other than the one Su Sungua is holding right now!

Old Liu was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. He thought to himself, "It's over, I've encountered a ghost." He got up and ran home.

He barely stopped breathing on the way home, and only calmed down when he saw his son Liu Zhenguo fiddling with the radio. He then gasped for breath.

But then I wondered, why did that female ghost target Su Sungua? Was it because she made paper houses and paper cars for her?

He didn't dare to sleep all night, thinking to himself that this wouldn't do and he had to find a way to save his life. The next morning, he bought two catties of white sugar and two catties of peanut candy, ran to a small Taoist temple thirty miles to the east, found the Taoist priest inside, and said that his brother had encountered a ghost. He said that the priest had to save his life, as the boy had no parents and was very pitiful.

The Taoist priest took the candy and said, "Don't rush, tell me the story in detail."

Old Liu told him everything. The Taoist priest said it was no big deal. This beast had just died and his cultivation was low. Call your brother out and I'll ask him.

Old Liu called out Su Sungua, and the three of them squatted in a secluded corner of the mountain.

Upon hearing the two reveal their purpose, Su Sungua immediately became agitated. He had been so focused on helping the middle-aged man weave something that day that he hadn't paid attention to what a dead person looked like. He retorted, "You're talking nonsense! You're the ghosts! My little Hua is perfectly fine."

The Taoist priest said sternly, "You have lost one and a half of the three yang flames on your shoulders, and your yang energy is completely gone. You will be killed by that female ghost in a few days. Believe it or not!"

Old Liu also said: "She said she's from Yanghuai Village, have you inquired about that? Would a normal girl act like that? Look at you, who would want you?"

Upon hearing this, Su Sungua felt a growing unease. He had indeed felt his health decline these past few days and said, "Anyway, I don't really believe it. I think Xiaohua is fine!"

The Taoist priest was very perceptive and knew that Su Sungua was also suspicious. So he took out a bottle from his bag and handed it to him, saying, "This is ox tears. It can help you see ghosts. Take this and secretly apply it to your eyelids tonight. When you go back later, if you find that she really is a ghost, shout loudly to lure her this way. I will perform a ritual to kill her here!"

"Only a fool would believe you!" Su Sungua said, then grabbed the cow tears and left.

The Taoist priest immediately took Old Liu to the Taoist temple to retrieve the ritual implements, and then returned to the original spot to set up the formation.

Take Su Sungua for example. He ran to the riverbank halfway there and looked in the mirror. He realized that he was indeed very ugly, and that a pretty girl like Xiaohua would definitely not be interested in him.

After thinking for a while, he ran to Yanghuai Village, twenty miles north of the village, and secretly asked around. Sure enough! There were people in the village named Xiaolan, Xiaoxiang, Xiaogou, Chuizi, and Lvshunzi, but no one named Xiaohua.

He panicked a little, ran to the bushes and squatted there until dark. He took out the cow tears, wiped them on his eyelids, and then hurried home.

Xiao Hua had already arrived, wearing an apron and serving dishes. He leaned closer to the window to look at Xiao Hua, and what he saw made his scalp tingle!

The little flower floated on the ground, its feet barely touching the ground. Its egg-sized white eyes bulged out, veins popped on its head, and it had a gaping maw with a mouthful of black teeth—it was terrifying!

"ah--"

He screamed and turned to run.

I like the novel "The Strongest Master in the City".
