Chapter 2: Which Family Owns the Luxury Car Series (2)
Why did Quan Xiaolang break the spell of the Three Immortals with just one breath?
Li Sangu shouted loudly and reached out as if to probe into the oil pot. However, at that moment, Zhou Quan took a step ahead, extended his hand into the oil pot, felt around, and directly grabbed the copper coin.
Just as Li Sangu was about to say that she was going to catch ghosts, she noticed that Zhou Quan, who had been sitting on the bed, had stood up
"Good child, it doesn't matter if you can't speak Mandarin fluently, mother will teach you! Mother, mother!" She pointed at herself and said to Zhou Quan.
However, the way these people looked at Zhou Quan was somewhat unusual
Zhou Quan not only got up but also strode towards her, causing the onlookers in the neighborhood to retreat in haste, with only Zhou Quan's mother flustered and trying to hold him back
Joyfully holding her son, Zhou Quan's mother taught him a few more words, and Zhou Quan learned them all. Although his pronunciation was still somewhat inaccurate, Zhou Quan's mother felt a great sense of relief in her heart
They were very curious about how Zhou Quan had the ability to reach into the boiling oil pot without getting harmed, so they gathered around, asking questions in a flurry of voices
Zhou Quan looked at the tall and thin man, and it seemed that this individual was indeed the father of this body
Zhou Quan felt a sense of curiosity, wondering how he would act after going out. Seeing him peering around, Zhou's mother held him back.
She was about to send away those neighbors who were watching the commotion when suddenly, Li Sangu entered quickly with that short and stocky boy.
When I didn't know there was tension on the water's surface, Zhou Quan muttered to himself. Of course, he was speaking Mandarin, so others could only hear it vaguely and did not understand what he was saying
The oil pot was set up, and the fire was ignited. In just a moment, the oil in the pot began to bubble vigorously. Li Sangu danced with excitement, and suddenly a copper coin appeared in her hand. She waved it around the top of Zhou Quan's head and then directly tossed the coin into the boiling oil pot
Ah, I accidentally... how about we change the oil?" Zhou Quan stuffed the copper coin back into the astonished hands of Li Sangu, smiling meaningfully.
Meanwhile, he also splashed the boiling oil from the frying pan, scattering it all over the ground
A deep bow
His face was also filled with concern, appearing haggard, as he rushed to Zhou Quan's side and scrutinized him carefully
"Nonsense, what soul-loss syndrome? You are a person who cannot speak anything but nonsense!" Mother Zhou scolded.
"How could that needle float on the surface of the water?" someone asked in confusion.
Although Mother Zhou spoke in a low voice, Zhou Quan could hear her clearly in the room! Despite some peculiarities in her accent, he could still understand Mother Zhou's meaning through a combination of inference and guessing.
Although there has not yet been any formal verbal communication between the two, the middle-aged woman’s maternal affection is something he can clearly sense. Therefore, upon realizing that Li Sangu is a swindler of the sort who deceives people for money, he cannot bear to see the middle-aged woman being taken in, which is why he decided to intervene
Such foolishness is not something even a young fool would easily undertake. Therefore, all the emotions and countless words in my heart were condensed into a single action directed at Zhou Quan
Zhou Quan smiled at his mother, then bent down and blew forcefully into the wooden basin
A wave of tenderness rose within her, causing her to forget all her troubles, focusing solely on one thing: no matter what happened, Zhou Quan was the child she had carried for ten months with great effort.
Zhou Quan shuddered all over and stared blankly at the middle-aged woman
In light of this situation, the surrounding people were all exclaiming in astonishment, even Zhou Quan's mother, who initially did not believe it, now showed a look of surprise and doubt.
The short and sturdy boy was well-prepared and immediately brought over a wooden basin, which contained a bowl of water.
The iron needle, which had just been floating on the surface of the water, suddenly sank after he took this breath
At her sudden scream, those who were watching the commotion immediately stepped back, and a few timid individuals stumbled and fell flat on their backs.
Originally living in the twenty-first century, having achieved some success in his career, he was preparing to purchase a valley forest in the countryside for retirement. However, after saving a young girl who was attempting to take her own life, he fell into the water and became what he is now.
As he took away the oil pot, he shot a fierce glare at Zhou Quan.
The tall, thin man muttered under the gaze of Zhou Quan
Li Sanggu shouted angrily; she was the number one fairy in the neighborhood, proficient in various magical arts, and took on the side job of matchmaking, relying on this skill to support her family. If she were to back down today, who would seek her out as a fairy for spells in the future
Nonsense... you are talking nonsense! The tall woman raised her eyebrows, for this was indeed a curse upon her son
Zhou's mother pulled him away and said: "What nonsense are you talking? Our child fell into the water, was overly frightened, and is just a bit forgetful. He is still perfectly fine. Just a moment ago, he even saw through the tricks of the third aunt!"
As Zhou Quan was overwhelmed by the noise, his mother shouted loudly, swung the door bolt, and drove those people out again
"There is no need to say more, I have already cast a spell to bind that water ghost in the basin, and next, of course, it is time to see me catch... catch..."
Isn't Sanxian Gu using magic to immobilize the water ghost? Then how did the needle sink?
He knew that with this sound, he was about to bid farewell to the past, truly living in this world as the son of the woman before him
A steel needle floats on the surface of the water
"Why did the third aunt leave? Isn't she going to catch the water ghost anymore?" Seeing this situation, someone who originally didn't quite believe it said with a smile
Look at me
Do not rush, look!
When Li Sangu entered, neighbors on both sides had already come in to watch the excitement
It is that scoundrel Du Gou'er who has caused my child to end up like this; he deserves a good lesson!" Mother Zhou seemed to be speaking to herself
Moreover, any books, newspapers, or academic subjects that were studied in a past life, as long as there are some impressions left, can basically be recalled
Mother Zhou recounted the entire sequence of events, and Father Zhou listened with great anger: "Those few rascals, Du Gou'er and the others, have truly sunk to the level of pigs and dogs, daring to take Da Lang to do such things!"
"Whether it is true or not, one can tell with a single test." Li Sangu raised her chin and snorted, then beckoned to the short and sturdy young man.
Inform the other party that their son has already died and that I have taken over his body
Zhou Quan's lips moved slightly, and he finally called out in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Mother"
"Alright, my child has just woken up, so please do not make any noise!"
This water ghost possesses profound skills; my ghost-binding needle cannot restrain it. Watch as I capture it and send it into the oil pot
However, he had no way to explain all of this to the middle-aged woman before him
This time, it was the turn of the Three Immortal Aunts to be taken aback and retreat.
"Call out, good child, call out!" Seeing him in a daze, the middle-aged woman said again, her eyes filled with hope
After driving them away, she looked back at Zhou Quan, her eyes filled with a hint of suspicion: "Da Lang, are you... are you alright?"
Li Sangu looked at Zhou Quan, her expression shifting back and forth, feeling somewhat uneasy. Then she turned around and ran away, while her short and sturdy son stood there in a daze, but was pushed away by her with a slap.
"Child, my child, what are you doing?" Upon seeing this situation, Zhou Quan's mother set aside her doubts and hurriedly helped him up
But now, facing this middle-aged woman alone, even after having been through the trials and tribulations of life for several decades, he felt utterly at a loss.
Bang
As he spoke to this point, there was a faint hint of fierceness in his demeanor. Zhou Quan felt a stir in his heart; it seemed that the father of this body was indeed a man of some mettle.
It seems that this condition of losing one's soul is not severe; although Zhou Quan can no longer speak, he has become somewhat smarter than before
Li Sangu muttered incantations, her hand shaking the talisman paper, and then suddenly threw it into the basin of water
Li Sangu clicked her tongue and then said to Zhou Quan's mother, while the onlookers in the street either nodded or whispered among themselves, all agreeing that what Li Sangu said was quite right
Zhou Quan, how did you come to know about the methods of the Third Aunt?
Zhou Quan's current situation cannot be described as good in any way
Zhou Quan's mother did not have much to say; regardless of what her son just mentioned, he is still her son. Her son does not speak formal language, so she will teach him herself
She carefully placed the iron needle into the water, and to everyone's astonishment, the iron needle actually floated on the surface of the water, instead of sinking!
She went through all the furniture and items in the room, and Zhou Quan realized that his memory was exceptionally good; anything that had been taught to him just once could be remembered.
He deliberately slowed down his speech, so Li Sangu still understood the four words "change a pot of oil". Immediately, Li Sangu jumped up, without saying a word, turned around and left
However, that basin of water showed no unusual changes
Zhou's mother let out a cold laugh twice: "Even if it is your good companion, I cannot deal with it. As for this matter, you can handle it as you see fit"
There is something about this child's gaze that feels off to me
Just as the mother and child were teaching and learning from each other, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open by someone
However, this time, that short and stocky boy was still holding a small pot.
You can rest assured," Father Zhou simply said three words, then went outside and shouted at the door, "Du Gou'er, come here!"
In another world, his mother passed away before he achieved success in his career and never enjoyed the benefits of his accomplishments
Her short and sturdy boy ran after her, reaching the door, and gave Li Sangu a slap before remembering to take the oil pot away as well
"Three Immortals, what, what, what should we do?" At this moment, Zhou Quan's mother was also in a state of panic
The child has not become foolish; rather, with just a little learning, he has once again mastered the skill of speaking
I mentioned there are water ghosts, right? The water ghost is quite powerful, tsk tsk, this water ghost has considerable magic, from the Zhou family, your family is in big trouble
At this moment, how could the neighbors not understand? It is clear that Li Sangu's tactics have been seen through by Zhou Quan, which is why she fled in such a disheveled state.
At the sound of his call, Zhou Quan's mother was overjoyed, her brows raised and eyes smiling, truly experiencing once again the feelings of being a new mother
Li Sangu let out a cold laugh, then with a flick of her hand, a needle appeared once again between her fingers
Before her words had finished, a loud sound came from outside, as if someone had received a slap across the face. Immediately after, there followed a series of dull thuds and the anguished cries of pain that resembled the wailing of ghosts and wolves
Zhou Mu raised her eyebrows, about to get angry, when a tall, thin man rushed in anxiously: "Mother of the child, what has happened to my son? Has he come down with a case of soul loss?"
In just a moment, footsteps were heard at the door. Father Zhou circled around Zhou Quan twice, and upon confirming that he was indeed fine, he then walked out.
