Just then, the hemp rope snapped and a small strand broke.

The woman saw it and cried, "The rope is about to break, Xiaoru, hurry up and get some rope to tie it up!"

"you shut up!"

The girl named Xiaoru turned her head and yelled at her, "Take them out!"

The woman picked up the youngest child and ran out crying. The other children saw her running out and also ran out crying.

When a boy of seven or eight years old saw Yin Yunting and Lu Zhaoling at the door, he reached out and grabbed the sachet on Lu Zhaoling's waist.

"Another distinguished guest!"

He shouted this as he stretched out his hand.

Yin Yunting grabbed his hand before he touched Lu Zhaoling's sachet and pushed him gently.

He originally wanted to push the child away a little, but he didn't expect that with just a light push, the child fell out, fell to the ground, and started crying loudly again.

"Bad guy! He's a bad guy, just as bad as the last one!"

The other children ran to the yard, looked at the child on the ground, and then looked timidly at Lu Zhaoling and Yin Yunting.

The senior sister and the junior brother looked at each other and found it very strange.

This family is really strange.

But looking at the woman and the children, they didn't look like they were possessed, or losing their souls, or anything like that.

This shows that they are like this.

"Aren't you here to help? Help me catch my dad!"

Xiaoru screamed.

At the same time, another strand of the hemp rope broke, and the man on the bed freed one hand and shook the old man off.

When the old man was about to fall off the bed, Yin Yunting reached out and held him up.

At this time, Lu Zhaoling also stepped forward quickly and slapped a talisman on the man's forehead.

The man who was about to break free was suddenly frozen in place, unable to move.

Xiaoru, who was still holding on to him desperately, was stunned.

She hadn't reacted yet, her hands still tightly pressing the man's shoulders.

Until Lu Zhaoling patted her and said, "Okay, let go."

She subconsciously let go, her whole body felt weak and she was about to fall off the bed, but Lu Zhaoling held her.

"You, who are you?"

The old man also came to his senses. He looked at Yin Yunting and then at Lu Zhaoling in shock.

"We were just passing by. We saw you at the entrance of the village just now. You looked frightened, as if you had encountered some difficulties, so we wanted to come in and see if there was anything we could do to help you," said Yin Yunting.

There seems to be nothing wrong with this statement.

"Thank you very much, both of you."

Xiaoru pointed at the symbol on the man's forehead, "What is this?"

"symbol."

Lu Zhaoling just replied with this one word.

Because she had just met Xiaoru and felt the amulet she had drawn on her.

She didn't know this family at all, and it seemed unlikely that this family would go to the capital to get her talisman. Thinking about the cause and effect between her and Lu Anfan, Lu Zhaoling had some guesses in her mind.

Lu Anfan’s amulet is with Xiaoru.

The boy just now said that it was another noble person, and he also said that it was a bad guy, just like the previous one. Could it be that the noble person before was referring to Lu Anfan?

"Is this amulet so powerful?" The old man was exhausted just now. Now looking at the amulet, he was eager, "Will it be harmful to my son?"

"It just temporarily immobilizes him. It won't do any harm."

Lu Zhaoling looked at the man.

"Father, this is your son, right? What's wrong with him?"

The old man sighed heavily upon hearing this.

"It's my son, and this is my eldest granddaughter. Her father doesn't know what happened. She went up the mountain two months ago, and she became like this two days after she came back."

"We asked a doctor from the city to come and see my father. He insisted that my father was crazy and that no one could cure him. He said that whenever he got sick, he should be tied up."

Xiaoru's voice was a little hoarse and she sounded very tired.

"Which mountain are we going to?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

"It's the nameless mountain in front. That mountain has no name. We and people from another village go to that mountain to chop wood, hunt, and pick wild fruits. I've never heard of such a thing happening before."

"By the way, if you want to go into the city, you have to pass by the foot of that mountain, but that road is not easy to walk on."

Xiao Ru looked up at them and said, "If you want to go over there, I can lead the way for you. Just give me a hundred coins as a guide fee."

Do you want money for leading the way?

Lu Zhaoling asked, "Do you do this job? Have you ever led others before?"

"Yes, I have," Xiaoru said, "It's really hard to get there. You can walk by yourself, but it will take time and you might get lost."

Lu Zhaoling looked at her neck and saw that Xiaoru was wearing something on her neck, but she didn't know if it was Lu Anfan's talisman.

"Xiao Ru," the old man looked at his granddaughter with disapproval, "Young Master, how can you still charge us for helping us?"

Xiao Ru remained calm, "They wanted to come in and help on their own initiative. They didn't ask for money for their help. Also, it's just a talisman, so it's not that difficult, but it takes me an hour to lead the way back and forth."

Yin Yunting looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect that this girl would have such a personality.

"You, how could you do this?"

The old man sighed and looked at Lu Zhaoling, "Miss, you, you are some kind of expert, right? How many times can this talisman be used?"

"Three times." Lu Zhaoling said.

"It can only be used three times?" The old man looked quite disappointed, but he still spoke, "Well, can you sell this talisman to us?"

"I'll trade food with you." Xiaoru interrupted her grandfather. "We make our own rice crackers. They're delicious. You'll know when you try them. Besides, rice crackers are the most convenient to carry with you when you're on the road. I carry them to the city to sell during the market. Two pieces cost ten cents."

Lu Zhaoling raised his eyebrows.

"You are quite good at business."

"Of course, our family will rely on me in the future. If I'm stupid, how can this family survive?" Xiaoru didn't think she did anything wrong. "Look at my mother and my brothers and sisters, they are all like idiots."

Her mother has a mental problem. She gave birth to a string of children, and except her, all the other children have mental problems.

"Give me some rice crackers to try." Lu Zhaoling said.

She wanted to see what the cause and effect was between Xiaoru and Lu Anfan.

It seems that Xiaoru's marriage is having some twists and turns.

Xiaoru went out and scolded her younger brothers and sisters a few more times outside.

"There's nothing we can do about Xiaoru in our family. As the eldest sister, she has to support the family. Fortunately, she got engaged not long ago. When my grandson-in-law comes back and gets married, Xiaoru will have someone to help her." The old man said to them.

"I wonder where Miss Xiaoru is going to get married? Is it in the village?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
