At this point, I had no choice but to make the call. Although it was late at night, I still dialed my uncle's cell phone number.

The phone rang for a while, and Uncle San said sleepily, "Why are you calling so late at night?"

"Uncle San, I'm so sorry. I don't want to bother you at this time, but I have a small problem."

"Why do you always get into trouble? What happened this time?"

I told him about the bronze medal. Uncle San sighed and said, "It was just such a small matter. I told you exactly what to do, but you didn't do it right at all."

I blushed and said, "It's my fault for being too careless. I won't do that again in the future."

"Alas! I can't blame you entirely. After all, this is your first time dealing with something like this, and you're still inexperienced. But there's one thing you must remember: in this line of work, every detail instructed by your master, seniors, and brothers must be memorized and followed strictly. Don't try to be clever and add your own twists. Doing so will only lead to big mistakes."

"I will definitely remember this lesson."

Uncle San hummed and said, "I didn't want to tell you too much for the time being, for fear that you would be upset. It seems that I have to explain it clearly. This bronze medallion is an object with a great history. It is a plum blossom flower taken from the hand of the female corpse of Nanzhu. Because of its extremely strong Yin energy, it is perfect for balancing the excessive Yang energy. However, women are inherently Yin. Wearing this plum blossom flower will increase their Yin energy. If there are any wandering evil spirits around, they will naturally be easily possessed. However, this kind of possessed ghost is a passing ghost. It has no purpose, so it is easy to drive away. The simplest way is to use a peach branch to knock on her crown a few times."

"So easy? Then you don't have to come."

"You can do this little thing yourself. Besides, I'm not in Longhua Village right now. I'm dealing with Director Ou's business."

Being able to perform a " ritual " with my own hands was extremely attractive to me. I almost laughed out loud. Although I said, "It's best if Uncle San can do such an important thing personally," my legs were already impatient to step out of the house to find Taozhi.

Uncle San had no idea of my worries and encouraged me, saying, "You can definitely handle this little thing. You must have confidence in yourself."

Before hanging up, I asked again, "Uncle San, this time you're hitting the woman's head with a peach branch, right?"

"That's right. Don't be too heavy-handed. Try to use thinner branches. They work best."

Peach trees can be found everywhere. Our neighborhood has a patch of them. I went to pick a long, thin branch. The laundry shop owner saw it and asked, "Does this work for you?"

"We'll know whether it works or not later." So we went back to the second floor, only to see his wife still facing the window and smiling silently, which was as creepy as it could be. I quietly walked to the bedside, stretched out the peach branch and tapped her crown gently. It didn't work at first, but after two or three minutes, her expression became more and more tired, and the black in her eye sockets began to fade gradually, returning to normal. Finally, she closed her eyes and lay on her side on the bed, snoring softly.

The laundry shop owner finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh my God, this disaster is finally over." After that, he cut the red rope with scissors, took off the plum blossom flower and handed it to me.

"I'm really sorry. My wife shouldn't have taken customers' things. This is retribution."

"This matter is not over yet. When your wife regains consciousness, you have to find out what she saw these days and tell me."

After giving the instructions, I went home and went to sleep. I slept until almost noon. Strangely enough, when I got up, I felt cold all over. Although I was covered with a down quilt, I felt like I was falling into an ice cellar and my whole body was almost frozen.

Did the temperature suddenly drop in the middle of the night last night?

Of course I know this can't be the reason. I guess it's related to that plum blossom coin.

It took me half a day to recover my body temperature and my hands and feet joints were finally able to move. Then I got up with difficulty and took the clothes containing plum blossoms to the balcony .

Sure enough, the body temperature quickly returned to normal.

It seems that there are too many things to pay attention to in this industry, and you will suffer if you are not careful.

Although my body functions have returned to normal, my limbs and joints are still sore and painful, so I went to a nearby Chinese medicine massage clinic to get cupping to dispel the cold. However, apart from getting red and purple circular marks all over my body, it didn't have any obvious effect. I walked back in the same posture as I walked here.

When I passed by the laundry shop, I saw the owner busy inside. When he saw me, he wiped his hands and walked over.

"Did she say what she saw?" I said.

"When asked, she just said one thing and she didn't remember anything about those two birthdays at all."

I actually don't understand how to deal with the aftermath. The purpose of asking this question is just to satisfy my curiosity. Since her memory is "blacked out", there is nothing to ask.

So I went home to rest. Not long after lunch, Chu Sen came. He told me mysteriously that my third uncle had gone to a village called Laolong in Guizhou.

I was amused by him and said, "What's so strange about this? After finishing the work, we have to move on."

"You don't understand what I mean. Should we go to Laolong Village in Guizhou?"

"I would like to go, but Uncle San didn't say he would take us."

"You didn't tell him you were going. Besides, we're students. If we want to learn skills, we have to take the initiative. Have you ever seen a teacher begging students to study hard?"

“But Guizhou is too far away.”

"I got a new Audi Q7. I guarantee you'll be comfortable all the way. All travel expenses will be covered by me."

I secretly thought that since I had no work at the moment and it would take five days to sell the Yin turtle, instead of waiting at home I might as well go to Guizhou to learn some skills from my uncle and broaden my horizons.

Thinking of this, I said without hesitation: "Then I will eat you all the way."

Chu Sen was not short of money, so we set off right away. After packing a few sets of clothes, we got into his new BMW Q7, which was indeed spacious and comfortable. So we drove to Guizhou.

However, the distance between the two places is indeed very far. It took us three full days of driving to enter Guizhou, and another two days to finally reach Laolong Village.

The reason why there are such strange villagers in this place is that the entire mountain village is located at the end of a mountain range. The mountain is composed of semicircular terraces from high to low. No one knows what kind of plants are planted in the terraces, but they are dark brown. Looking down from a high place, the entire terrace looks like the body of a giant dragon coiled on the ground, so it is called Laolong Village.

No matter how comfortable the Audi's seats are, my waist feels like it's about to break.

Stepping out of the car, Chu Sen also grinned and said, "My butt is flat."

"I hope that one day you can move Uncle San and become his disciple." I said, rubbing my waist.

"I guess it's difficult. His attitude towards me is ambiguous. He doesn't say yes, nor does he say no."

"I think I would, otherwise I wouldn't let you do so many things."

"I hope so. My ideal is to acquire extraordinary skills and serve my country and my people."

"Stop talking nonsense, don't you just want to show off in front of others?"

"Brother, as a man, you should at least have some sentiments. Although I am usually careless, I am a person of integrity."

I smiled and took out my phone and said, "Call my uncle first, then we can talk about it."

What I never expected was that the person who answered the phone was a policeman. When I asked, I found out that my uncle was taken to the police station for drunk driving. Although the punishment for drunk driving was not as strict as it is now, drivers found to be drunk would still be detained for seven days, so my uncle was still in detention at this time.

After hearing my news, Chu Sen was stunned and said, "I didn't expect our Third Uncle would like this?"

But if you think about it carefully, this matter is a bit strange. How could traffic police catch drunk drivers in a small mountain village? What sections of the road here require traffic police to enforce the law?

With questions in mind, we went to the county detention center, where we met my uncle. He seemed to be in good spirits and chatted for a while. I asked him, "Uncle, how did you get caught driving under the influence in the countryside ?"

Uncle San smiled faintly and said, "Needless to say, I was framed. We contacted the deceased's family the night we arrived, and they agreed to accept funding to bury their son. We had dinner together that night. I did drink too much, but I didn't drive at all. When I regained consciousness, I was already at the traffic police brigade."

I angrily said, "This is a blatant frame-up."
