Fang Qing smiled mysteriously and showed two fingers.

"Two hundred taels will solve the problem?" Xu Qianqian looked curious.

She has been living among piles of gold and silver since she was sensible. She doesn't know what two hundred taels means to a family in a remote rural area.

"It's not two hundred taels, it's twenty taels!" Fang Qing smiled, as if he was showing off his skills.

"Twenty taels?" Xu Qianqian stared with big eyes, unable to believe that twenty taels took care of this family.

Lin Tianchong interjected: "In villages like ours, we don't even see silver all year round. These twenty taels are already a huge amount of money for them."

Li Feibai was silent, he had been observing the things around him.

"Sir, what are you looking at?" Zhao Qiancheng asked.

"Look at the wall, there are some talismans on it."

Everyone came in in a hurry and didn't pay attention. Now they turned around and took a closer look, and found that the windows on the wall of this family and every door were actually covered with talismans.

"Why is this? Is it the custom of Jishui Village?" Fang Qing was puzzled.

"How can there be such a custom?" Xu Qianqian replied.

Li Feibai spoke slowly: "Country people use talismans to seek good luck and avoid evil. Usually they just stick one on the front door, with copper coins and gossip attached. How come there are so many of them posted here, and they appear to be random and unorganized?"

"Tianchong, your longevity village is not far from here, do you know if there is this custom?" Fang Shengshou also asked.

Lin Tianchong shook his head and replied: "There is no habit of sticking talismans in Changshou Village. Although Jishui Village is adjacent to Changshou Village, there is almost no contact between the two villages. I am not very clear about things here."

"Is there a ghost?" Fang Qing said suddenly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a breeze blew up outside the door, causing the candlelight to sway.

"ah!"

Xu Qianqian was so frightened that she screamed softly, closed her eyes and buried her head in her chest.

"Pa"

Li Feibai hit Fang Qing on the back of the head: "Don't always scare Qianqian, there are no ghosts in this world."

Fang Qing rubbed his head and laughed.

While several people were discussing, the middle-aged man walked out of the kitchen with a tray filled with six bowls of tea.

That way, he looked more like a bartender.

"Gentlemen, here comes the hot tea, be careful to burn your mouth."

He brought the tea to the table one by one.

The few people had a tacit understanding and did not take action. They all looked at Fang Shengshou.

Fang Shengshou had no expression on his face. He picked up the tea and took a sip. Then his mouth moved a few times, as if he was chewing something, and then he made a slight gurgling sound in his throat.

Then, Fang Shengshou nodded to everyone, indicating that there was no problem with the tea.

Seeing this, the man grinned and said, "Gentlemen, although we are in a remote and remote area, we are by no means black-hearted people. There is nothing wrong with this tea. Just drink it without worry."

When these words came out, Li Feibai was a little surprised.

They didn't expect that a country boy could actually understand Fang Shengshou's method of identifying poisons.

"How did you know I was tasting poison?" Fang Shengshou's expression became a little solemn.

The others also became wary.

"Don't be nervous, gentlemen. I once worked as a waiter in an inn and have seen many people in the world argue about poison, so I know this." The man replied.

"So you really have been a buddy." Fang Qing muttered.

After hearing what he said, everyone relaxed a little.

"Brother, may I ask your name?" Li Feibai asked immediately.

"All of us in Jishui Village have the surname Zeng. My last name only has the character "Niu", so just call me A Niu."

"Brother A Niu, sit down." Li Feibai patted the seat next to him and motioned for him to sit down.

"Master, I still have to prepare straw mats for you." Zeng Niu said with a smile and touched his face.

"No rush, we don't go to bed that early. There are some things we are curious about and want to ask you." Li Feibai motioned for him to sit down again.

"What...what's the matter?" Zeng Niu suddenly looked nervous when he heard what Li Feibai said.

"Why are there so many talisman stickers in your house?" Li Feibai asked directly.

"Sir, you...you'd better finish your tea and rest as soon as possible. Leave here as soon as dawn tomorrow. I'll prepare straw mats for you."

After saying that, Zeng Niu hurriedly wanted to leave.

"Eh!"

Fang Qing stopped him again: "Brother, don't leave."

After dragging Zeng Niu back, Fang Qing continued: "No one in the world dares to refuse to speak when my young master asks me."

Zeng Niu frowned and seemed very embarrassed.

"Everyone, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that... I don't dare to say it."

"Don't dare to say? What is there that you don't dare to say?" Fang Qing was puzzled.

"Brother A Niu, come here." Li Feibai stepped forward, put his arm around his shoulders, and motioned for him to sit down.

Then, he took out a five hundred tael silver note from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand.

"I have a few questions. If you answer them honestly, this banknote will be yours."

After taking the banknote, Zeng Niu wiped his eyes, then took it and shined it under the light for a while.

"This...is this true?" He couldn't believe that he could see so much money in his lifetime.

"Of course." Li Feibai raised his lips and smiled.

"Oh my god, mother, mother..." Zeng Newton suddenly lost his mind and called her mother.

When everyone saw it, they couldn't help laughing.

"Sit down." Li Feibai once again motioned Zeng Niu to sit next to him.

Zeng Niu was still immersed in great joy. When he saw Li Feibai waving, he wiped away the excited tears from the corners of his eyes, gradually calmed down and sat down.

"Sir, if you want to know anything, just ask. Even if I risk my life, I will tell you everything." Zeng Niu patted his chest, looking fearless.

"Risk your life? To answer a few questions, you have to risk your life. Brother A Niu, what's going on?" Li Feibai was curious in his heart.

Zeng Niu glanced at the door, then stood up, closed the hall door tightly, and sat down again.

"You asked me just now why there are magic talismans posted on the walls of my house. I tell you, it's because...there are zombies around here!"

"Zombies?"

Except for Li Feibai who frowned slightly, the other five people exclaimed at the same time.

"Shhh"

Zeng Niu made a silent gesture: "You don't want your life, so loud?"

"How come there are zombies?" Xu Qianqian hugged her flowers with raindrops.

Now that Zeng Niu is sitting next to Li Feibai, she can no longer hide next to him.

"Impossible, how can there be zombies in this world?" Zhao Qiancheng immediately denied his statement.

"Brother, I see that you are young and have little experience. How come there are no zombies in this world?" Zeng Niu asked back.

Fang Qing secretly laughed on the sidelines. It was rare for anyone to dare to reply to Zhao Qiancheng.

"Have you seen it with your own eyes?" Zhao Qiancheng continued to ask.

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes." Zeng Niu said confidently.

"Brother A Niu, can you tell us in detail?" Li Feibai was greatly confused.

The word zombie reminded him of Uncle Nine in his previous life.
