Let me see which unlucky person is here to tell fortunes today

Chapter 289 Eyes

The comments were filled with chatter, and almost everyone was complaining about Xun Mao's thinking, which was incomprehensible to ordinary people.

After all, even if we are born in the same province, there are people who can eat spicy food and those who cannot. You can't doubt your own birth just because of your taste.

Xun Mao was a little unconfident to begin with, and when he heard the comments, he lowered his head even lower.

But at this moment, Ji Chu said: "Mr. Xun's guess is correct, you are indeed not your parents' biological child."

【What? 】

[Is taste really in our genes? ]

After getting the confirmation from the anchor he trusted the most, Xun Mao was obviously quite excited. He held up his phone and asked anxiously, "Anchor, what about my parents..."

Ji Chu raised his hand to interrupt: "There is a more complicated story about your life experience. I can only tell you first that your adoptive parents did not buy you from human traffickers, but were asked by your biological parents to adopt you. They are good people!"

Xun Mao felt relieved, but at the same time, a feeling of bitterness welled up in his heart.

Compared to being abducted by human traffickers, being given away by one's biological parents seems to be more difficult to accept.

"Anchor, can you tell me that complicated story?"

Ji Chu nodded: "Of course."

"You were born in a family in a certain area of ​​Sichuan and Chongqing. There are six people in your family, including your grandparents, your parents, your aunt, and you."

"Your grandfather runs a funeral shop. Although others say it's unlucky, every time someone in their family dies, they have to patronize your business. Therefore, your family is relatively wealthy in the local area."

"The problem occurred when you were one year old."

"You didn't know why at the time, but you were in poor health, always having a fever and nosebleeds every now and then."

"Your family took you to many hospitals for examinations, but they didn't find anything wrong."

"Your family suspected that your family ran a funeral parlor, which had a lot of Yin energy, causing you to lose Yang energy. After asking around, your parents heard that there was a very powerful old Taoist priest in a faraway place, so they wanted to ask him to give you a Taoist talisman to keep you safe."

"Because the journey is long and you are in poor health, they can't take you on the long journey, so they left you in the care of your grandparents and aunt."

"It just so happened that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Ghost Festival, and every household had a lot of people burning paper money. Normally your dad would help your grandpa, but since he was away this time, your grandpa had to call your aunt to help."

"The only person in the whole family who can take care of you is your grandma."

"But your grandma can't rest either. She has to cook and send food to the two of them while you are asleep."

[Host, I want to ask why funeral shops are so busy, isn't it just paper money and gold ingots? ]

Ji Chu shook his head: "No, there are also paper villas, paper people, and as the times change, there are even paper mobile phones, paper computers, and so on."

[Yes, before the Lunar New Year, I went to visit the grave and my mother bought some paper-made Huazi. I was stunned by them. I asked my mother, "Can my grandpa receive it?"]

[My mother said she didn’t know, but grandpa never smoked such good cigarettes when he was alive, so she must let him taste it after he died.]

[Hahaha, it’s the same in my family. This Qingming Festival, when I got home, I saw my mother bought paper-made Maotai. I was also stunned for several seconds.]

Ji Chu: "Most of these are actually produced on assembly lines, but the place where Mr. Xun comes from generally believes in things left by their ancestors."

"Moutai Huazi is indispensable, and the hand-typed yellow characters are also in short supply, so Mr. Xun's grandfather's funeral shop will be quite busy."

[Host, can I ask, can the deceased family members receive the Huazi and Moutai? ]

Ji Chu chuckled, then shook his head: "Things produced by machines don't carry human willpower, so how can those dead relatives receive them!"

[Alas, it seems that the living are just deceiving themselves. ]

Ji Chu: "Okay, those are off-topic."

"Back to the previous topic, Mr. Xun's grandmother had to take care of the child while delivering meals to her husband and daughter. She was worried about leaving the child alone at home, so she could only push a cart to bring the child and the meals to the store."

"But it was because of this action that they had to send Mr. Xun away."

Xun Mao was shocked: "Host, did something happen in the funeral shop?"

Ji Chu nodded: "I said before that Mr. Xun has been weak since childhood and often has fever and nosebleeds."

"The funeral shop was extremely messy at the time. There was hardly any place to put things. There were orders from fellow villagers everywhere."

"After your grandma brought the meal to you, she saw that you didn't cry or make a fuss, so she wanted to help make some paste while your grandpa and aunt were eating."

"But after just a moment of negligence, you have already sat up from the stroller and reached out to the paper figure beside you."

"It just so happened that you had a nosebleed, and your hands were stained with blood, so you smeared it on the paper man's eyes."

[Oh my god, I remember that you can’t put eyes on paper figures, right?]

[Why? Is there any trick in this? ]

[Just like adding the finishing touch to a painting, once the paper figurine has its eyes painted on, it will come alive. ]

Ji Chu: "What the netizen said is right, but it's not that the paper man came to life, but that he was possessed by a ghost wandering in the world."

"Just like the police catch fugitives, there are also many ghosts in the underworld who will escape the pursuit of ghost police."

"In order to completely get rid of the ghost messenger, they will look for a suitable body."

"But the souls of the living are full of yang energy, so they can't snatch them. The bodies of the dead are stiff, and with modern cremation, they don't even have a chance to snatch them."

"Paper figures are different. They are light and fit their requirements for bodies."

"Of course, the eyes are the first channel for the soul to connect to the outside world, followed by the ears, nose and mouth. Therefore, a paper figure without eyes is just a piece of paper to them. Only paper figures with eyes can be used by them."

Xun Mao frowned and said, "Host, you mean that I accidentally put eyes on the paper figurine, which caused me to be haunted by ghosts, and my family had no choice but to give me to my adoptive parents for adoption?"

Ji Chu smiled mysteriously: "Speaking of this, do you all think the same as Mr. Xun?"

[Hmm? Is there another reason? (Tactical retreat)]

[If there were other reasons, I really don’t know what they were, which forced Mr. Xun’s parents to give their son away.]

Ji Chu: "Of course this is the reason why Mr. Xun's parents gave him away. It just so happens that the son of Mr. Xun's adoptive parents also died of illness at about the same time."

"In order to let their son use someone else's birth date to avoid the entanglement of ghosts, they thought of giving Mr. Xun away, but..."

Xun Mao: “Just what?”

Ji Chu: "It's just that the story of you using blood to draw eyes on paper figures when you were a child didn't exist at all."

Xun Mao was shocked: "What?"
