Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder’s Record of Counterattacks

Chapter 3045: The Older One Got, the More Superstitious One Became

Fear gripped the village, and no one dared to defy the shaman’s instructions.

Even Li Bing’s mother didn’t come to cause trouble that day.

For one, there were footprints on her own door, which left her deeply unsettled.

The older one got, the more superstitious one became.

Besides, she felt unusually heavy and sluggish. Her hands and feet ached as if plagued by rheumatism.

Normally, she only experienced pain when it was rainy or cloudy, but today was different.

On top of that, her throat hurt terribly, making it difficult to speak.

A creeping fear took hold—had a ghost been pressing on top of her while she was sleeping?

Without her son by her side, she felt extremely vulnerable.

After taking her money, she handed her a bowl of talisman water.

By nightfall, thick smoke filled the village as people burned paper money in all the streets.

People were kowtowing in all directions, muttering incantations.

Not every house had been marked with footprints, but seeing their neighbors performing the ritual, they followed suit.

Wang Ying’s father took a bundle of joss paper and burned it outside their doorstep.

Inside, Wang Ying’s mother called for Wang Chao to come help.

Wang Chao replied that he was busy in an annoyed tone.

What a commotion! Ning Shu shrugged, feeling zero guilt.

She was too lazy to keep scaring people as a ghost. Besides, she had heard that several villagers had already fallen ill from the fright.

Even without her interference, they remained on edge, burning paper every night for seven days.

Ning Shu felt it was time to leave.

She had some money—enough to buy a train ticket and get by for a while.

Once she got to the city, she could figure something out.

If she had nowhere to stay, she could always sleep under a bridge. It wasn’t like she hadn’t done it before.

One could find shelter anywhere. Moreover, she still had a ginseng root.

It had started to dry out, but she had taken care to keep the skin intact. All the roots were intact as well.

For now, she just had to wait for news from the police station.

This wasn’t just about sending someone to jail. That would be too easy.

Meanwhile, Li Bing’s mother, furious that Ning Shu’s family had gone back on their word, returned to cause trouble.

But this time, she couldn’t shout or curse like before.

Her throat was so hoarse that even swallowing brought tears to her eyes. Eating and drinking were extremely painful.

Her body ached and she couldn’t even talk—but for her son’s sake, she pressed on.

Her son had been wrongfully imprisoned.

She pointed at Ning Shu, struggling to speak, forcing out hoarse, barely audible sounds.

Ning Shu turned her head slightly, cupping her ear.

“What? I can’t hear you.

“Grandma Li, have you been possessed by a ghost? Why can’t you speak?”

At those words, the crowd immediately stepped back, putting distance between themselves and Li Bing’s mother.

Li Bing’s mother’s face flushed with frustration, she tried again, forcing her voice louder.

But her voice was too hoarse so her words were barely comprehensible.

“You bi…” Li Bing’s mother screamed with all her might, and then tears instantly poured down her face. Her throat hurt so much it felt like it was about to explode.

Ning Shu’s expression didn’t change.

“Grandma Li, what are you saying?” she asked loudly.

Li Bing’s mother, shaking with rage, suddenly threw herself at the wall.

Last time, someone had stopped her.

But now?

After all the eerie events in the village—her sudden inability to speak, the strange occurrences—no one dared to intervene.

She truly looked like someone possessed.

No one wanted to risk touching her.

Before she could hurt herself, Ning Shu grabbed her. She had seriously never seen such an arrogant scammer.

But wasn’t the reason that Li Bing’s mother dared to act this way because the Wang family never stood up to her even once?
