Chapter 35: Ancient Curse
My cousin threw me out of the room and into the hall, and I was completely dazed.
He warned me not to move, and I really stood there motionless.
Not long after, he came out with a mirror.
I looked out the window at this time and it was already daybreak.
I breathed a sigh of relief, the house cleaning was over.
My cousin took us and the big rat away from the villa.
"Let's go have breakfast? I'm hungry." I looked at my cousin.
He frowned and said, "Wait a moment. Young Master Chen will come over to take care of the aftermath, and Lin Mu will also come. I have already called them."
I froze for a moment.
If it were any other time, my cousin would have beaten me if I had spoken to him like this.
But today, for some reason, he was particularly gentle and didn't act mean to me.
Although from his expression we can tell that he is not very impatient.
Not long after, Lin Mu and Young Master Chen arrived.
Young Master Chen is younger than I thought. He is only about 30 years old. Although he looks young , his face is tired.
From what I'd heard in the gossip reports, I'd heard that he was almost forty.
It turns out that rich people take good care of themselves. They eat a lot of delicious food and drink, and use all kinds of skin care products. They look almost ten years younger.
"Thank you, Mr. Wen."
When Mr. Chen got out of his black Mercedes, the first thing he did was shake hands with his cousin.
It can be seen that the man who was tortured by this villa was almost going crazy.
"Thank you, gentlemen and ladies. I'm really sorry to bother you this time. I know this villa is not easy to build, so I have already prepared the money for you." Young Master Chen said as he took out three checks from his arms.
"These are just some of my thoughts for you. They are not my respects. I hope you don't mind."
Three checks were handed to us one by one. When I saw them, my eyes popped out.
How is this just a small thought ?
It is a huge sum of money for us. My check says two hundred thousand, which is really a timely help.
My family’s ancestral grave also has hope because of these two hundred thousand yuan.
"The matter has not been completely resolved. There are still some follow-up matters that need to be dealt with. Also, I want to ask you for more money." My cousin's expression was serious. He looked at Mr. Chen and did not back down at all when asking others for money.
Young Master Chen's face was full of doubts, but he finally nodded: "Mr. Wen, how much more do you want? Just give me a number, and I'll give you everything I can."
"one million."
I was completely shocked when I heard what my cousin said.
I turned to look at Dong Jing, wanting her to persuade my cousin.
The two hundred thousand is enough for us, and I am a country boy. Before doing this business, I have never seen so much money, so I don’t have much pursuit.
Master Chen was just as surprised as I was. "What do you mean?"
"My nephew was bitten by this big rat." said the uncle, pointing to the iron cage on the ground.
"This beast is indeed...how about we burn it?" Young Master Chen obviously didn't want to give the money, so he recommended another direct and safe method to us.
The cousin shook his head and said, "It will definitely burn, but my nephew is now poisoned. We need to find someone to treat us, and this person is not so easy to find, so we need to spend money on the way. I won't ask for a higher price for this one million."
Seeing that Mr. Chen was still thinking, his uncle said, "You can either take my nephew back with you or cure his illness and send him back to me. But I can tell you very clearly that it is impossible for you to cure him with one million."
In front of Master Chen, we are just some quacks.
Of course he couldn't understand the price we offered .
But because we were the ones who cleaned the villa, and since we have the ability to make it clean, then in Mr. Chen's opinion, we also have the ability to make the villa dirty.
He didn't dare say anything else. He just took out a checkbook from his pocket, signed on it, and handed the check to me.
"I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, you can ask the little girl. My nephew was not poisoned, he was cursed by an ancient curse. And this big rat is obviously kept by someone, and that person is most likely your eldest brother."
I listened to my cousin's words and was a little confused.
What is the ancient curse?
What does it have to do with this big rat?
My cousin seemed to see my confusion. He not only explained the matter to Mr. Chen, but also looked at me and spoke to me seriously.
"You have to understand that someone has placed this curse on the big rat. Whoever it attacks will be cursed. And now the curse is placed on you. We must find the resurrection bead to remove the curse from you."
Seeing that I didn't react, my cousin put his hands on my shoulders and forced me to look at him.
"Do you understand? Otherwise you will die!"
His tone became a little heavier, and his voice was loud enough to make my head buzz.
I closed my eyes and felt the world spinning.
No wonder I felt uncomfortable all over after being bitten by the big rat. It turned out that the curse flowed through my blood and spread throughout my body.
For a moment, I didn't know what to do.
My grandma has put so much energy into keeping me in this world. No matter what, I must live.
"Don't worry about it for now. I'll help you find a solution after I finish dealing with this villa."
My cousin comforted me and turned to Mr. Chen and said, "The villa is clean now. I have taken out all the dirty things. I am going to perform a ritual here. You all wait quietly by the side. I will collect your money after it is done."
After saying that, my cousin pushed the check in his hand back into Mr. Chen's hand.
His actions were obviously meant to reassure Mr. Chen that we were not scammers.
"There is one more thing I must remind you of. You may not be able to confront your eldest brother head-on in the family. But on weekdays, you must be careful of him. He must have more than one trick. Otherwise, the feng shui of this villa alone would not have allowed you to become as miserable as you are now."
In response to my cousin's kind reminder, Mr. Chen nodded with determination in his eyes. I knew that he had reduced his suspicion of us.
My cousin turned to look at me and asked, "Are you okay?"
I nodded. Apart from feeling a little dizzy, I felt fine.
"That's fine. Help me with the ritual."
As he said that, my cousin handed the sail to me.
