The Lucky Star Reincarnates to Bring Her Family Fortune!

76 Meeting a Ghost

Since Lai Jinniang had returned the pearl, she had to remove the Feng Shui formation she set up earlier.

However, Zhou Xiaoli had no intention of letting them go just like that.

She was prepared to remove the powerful Feng Shui Evil Formation and replace it with another Fortune Breaking Formation.

Although it was not as domineering as the Feng Shui Evil formation whereby blood had to be shed, the new formation could still affect their fortune and make them poor.

However, before she reached the Old Zhou family’s courtyard, she heard a series of cries.

Zhou Xiaoli could not help but feel a little curious about it. It seemed like they indeed wailed and cried every night? Did her formation have such an effect?

Driven by curiosity, Zhou Xiaoli walked closer to see what was going on.

However, just as she reached the wall, a white figure with disheveled hair suddenly flew out of the Old Zhou family’s courtyard.

By a stroke of chance, it happened to land in front of Zhou Xiaoli…

“Aiya, what the f*ck!” Zhou Xiao Li was so shocked that she almost jumped out of her skin.

Subconsciously, she picked up a brick from the ground and was prepared to hit the ‘ghost’.

“It’s me.”

However, just as the brick was about to hit the ghost’s face, the ghost opened its mouth and a familiar voice rang out.

Zhou Xiaoli could not help but pause. Her eyes widened as she went over to take a look in disbelief.

The ‘ghost’ seemed to be a little shy, but in the end, he lifted his hair from his face.

It was indeed Wei Chiyu!

Zhou Xiaoli couldn’t help but burst out laughing when she saw Wei Chiyu dressed like that.

“No, Wei Chiyu, is there something wrong with your brain? Why are you dressed like this in the middle of the night?” she whispered.

Wei Chiyu felt a little awkward. “I want to help you.”

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoli immediately figured out what she had found strange earlier on.

“Oh, it’s no wonder that Madam Lai and her family would wail and cry every night then. I was wondering why would Madam Lai turn so weak in just four days? It’s all because of you.”

“Yes.” Wei Chiyu nodded and asked, “Did I manage to help you?”

“Yes, yes, you’ve helped me a lot.” Zhou Xiaoli held back her laughter.

Most importantly, the thought of Wei Chiyu, who usually wore a straight face, had pretended to be a ghost to scare people made her want to laugh.

No, she really couldn’t hold it in anymore.

Hearing that he had helped, Wei Chiyu was a little proud of himself, but when he saw Zhou Xiaoli laughing, he felt a little doubtful. “Then what are you laughing at?”

Zhou Xiaoli had been laughing for quite some time. She wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes and said, “Happy, I’m happy that you helped me.”

Wei Chiyu was skeptical. “Is that so? That’s good. Do you need me to continue scaring them in that case?”

Zhou Xiaoli waved her hand. “No, no need. I’m going to remove the formation today. You don’t have to scare them anymore.”

Wei Chiyu: “Okay.”

At this moment, the door of the Old Zhou family’s courtyard suddenly opened.

Wei Chiyu reacted very quickly. He grabbed Zhou Xiaoli’s waist with one hand and spun around. The two of them hid in the alley between the Old Zhou family’s courtyard and the neighbor’s on the left.

Although it was called an alley, it had become as such unintentionally. This was because the two families had a disagreement over the ownership of the tree in the middle of the alley when they were building the houses.

As a result, two walls were built and a gap was formed in the middle.

Therefore, it was not meant for pedestrians’ use and it was very narrow. The two of them stuck together and squeezed into the narrow alley.

Zhou Xiaoli’s head reached Wei Chiyu’s chest. She was basically lying in between Wei Chiyu’s arms, and she could clearly hear Wei Chiyu’s steady and powerful heartbeat.

In her previous life, she had never even held a man’s hand before!

Although she was thick-skinned and the two of them were just kids,

but perhaps the space was too small, and she became a little nervous when she was suddenly in such close contact with Wei Chiyu.

She couldn’t help but move away, putting some distance between them.

However, Wei Chiyu’s voice suddenly sounded in her ear. “Shh, don’t move.”

The next second, she heard footsteps coming from the Old Zhou family’s courtyard.

Zhou Xiaoli instantly stopped moving. All her previous efforts would be in vain if she was now discovered.

At this moment, they heard the conversation between Lai Jinniang’s eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law.

“Is there really a sound coming outside?”

“I don’t know. I just heard someone talking earlier.”

“But there’s not even a shadow outside.”

“I-I’m a little scared. Let’s go back.”

“Didn’t Mother say that the bad luck has been resolved? Then, that ghost should have left. Look, that ghost came for just a short while before leaving tonight.”

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew past. The dried leaves on the ground slid noisily along with the wind.

In the quiet night, the sound of the leaves being blown along the ground was especially loud. It sounded as if there was someone behind their backs and was slowly approaching.

The two of them immediately turned around and ran home in fear.

With a slam, they shut the door.

Looking at how frightened they were, Wei Chiyu must have frightened them quite a bit these few days!

“Well, they’re gone.”

Zhou Xiaoli gently nudged Wei Chiyu and spoke in a low voice.

Wei Chiyu finally reacted and let go of Zhou Xiaoli. The two of them walked out of the alley one after another.

As Lai Jinniang and the others were still awake, Zhou Xiaoli could not change the formation then, so she sat outside the Old Zhou Family’s wall and waited.

Wei Chiyu had no intention of leaving. Seeing Zhou Xiaoli had sat down, he sat down beside her.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoli looking at him, he opened his mouth and mouthed, “I’ll wait for you.”

Since Wei Chiyu knew that she knew how to set up Feng Shui formations, Zhou Xiaoli did not chase him away.

This time, the two of them did not speak again as they were afraid that the Old Zhou family members would hear them. The surroundings were a little quiet, and Zhou Xiaoli’s eyelids began to droop as she waited.

“Little Li, they’re asleep.”

It wasn’t until Wei Chiyu called her that Zhou Xiaoli stood up and began to move.

By the time she was done, it was late at night.

Wei Chiyu hadn’t left yet. He was indeed waiting for her.

Zhou Xiaoli yawned. “Let’s go. It’s done.”

Without saying anything, the two of them walked side by side back home.

A young man and a young woman taking a stroll under the moonlight. Unfortunately, when Zhou Xiaoli looked at Wei Chiyu, who was dressed as a ‘ghost’, she felt that there was zero romance in the air.

Wei Chiyu did not go back immediately when he arrived at the Zhou family’s door. Instead, he watched Zhou Xiaoli enter the house before leaving.

After such a long time, they were home and Zhou Xiaoli was exhausted. She took off her clothes and fell asleep.

The next day.

At dawn, Zhang Lan and Zhou Yu sat up and prepared to get up. As the two of them sat up, the old bed creaked.

Zhou Xiaoli had always been a light sleeper and she would wake up at the slightest sound. Therefore, when the two of them sat up, she opened her eyes.

“Ah, did I wake you up?” Zhang Lan whispered, then tucked Zhou Xiaoli in. “It’s still early. You should sleep for a while more.”

“Mother, you didn’t wake me up. Aren’t we going to the county to sell the sugar today?” Zhou Xiaoli’s voice was a little nasal as she had just woken up. “I should get up too,”she muttered.

Zhang Lan said softly, “There’s no hurry. It’s still early. There’s nothing for you to do at home anyway. Why do you need to get up then? Sleep a little longer.”
