Chapter 27: The Witch Came Again

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Matchmaker Xu saw who it was, she smiled. “Hey, Madam Bai. Has your daughter gotten married?”

Madam Bai smiled and waved her hand. “Not yet. There’s no hurry. We’re taking our time selecting. Do you know any good boys? Can you help suggest a match for my daughter?”

Matchmaker Xu smiled. She naturally wouldn’t reject a business. As she spoke, she followed Madam Bai to her house.

After rejecting Matchmaker Xu, Madam Wei became busy.

In the blink of an eye, it was April. Liu Sanniang had already made a brand new pair of shoes for each person in the Liu family.

She picked a day and gave the shoes to her parents.

Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang were overjoyed. “Sanniang, this is such a beautiful shoe. I don’t know if I should wear it or not.”

Liu Erlang put on his shoes happily. “Brother, you can give them to me if you don’t wanna wear them. We’re about the same size anyway.”

Liu Dalang slapped him. “In your dreams.”

Madam Wei’s eyes were filled with pride. When she wore this pair of shoes outside, those who had good taste would definitely ask her. Once they knew that this was made by her daughter, they would be envious.

Mr. Liu was overjoyed. His daughter was good at cooking and embroidery and her life in the future would be good.

Liu Erlang loved to show off. After getting new shoes, he walked around the streets and alleys that day, showing off to all the friends he knew.

When he met Chu Yan, Liu Erlang greeted him happily. “Chu Yan, where are you going?”

Chu Yan replied calmly. “West.”

Liu Erlang smiled and said, “Where? I’ll go with you. My sister made me new shoes. I’ll walk around in them so they’ll fit better.”

Even a fool could tell that he was showing off.

Chu Yan lowered his eyes and saw the new pair on Liu Erlang’s feet. On the dark blue shoes, there were two pine trees embroidered. They were vivid and lifelike. A pair of slender hands appeared in Chu Yan’s mind.

Liu Sanniang made shoes for Liu Erlang and probably had made them for others as well.

She still owed him a favor, but she forgot about it just like that. If she didn’t give shoes to him, he would get them himself!

His eyes darkened and he did not talk to Liu Erlang any further.

Liu Erlang was still in a joyful mood, so he didn’t mind being ignored by Chu Yan.

After finishing with the shoes, Liu Sanniang had nothing to do. At noon, she cooked porridge and steamed cornbread to send to Mr. Liu, Liu Dalang, and Liu Erlang. After they finished eating, Liu Sanniang took the bowls and chopsticks home.

The Liu family had some land in the backyard to grow vegetables.

Liu Sanniang was already thinking about what to cook for dinner.

When she walked past the street corner, she was pulled to the corner by a rough and large hand. She was about to scream, but her mouth was covered. A low voice came from above Liu Sanniang’s head. “It’s me.”

Liu Sanniang wanted to scream even more. Ahhh, this lunatic. What was he doing?

Did Chu Yan have a grudge against her?

Liu Sanniang was so scared that she wanted to cry.

Chu Yan wrapped his arms around her. “Did you forget something?”

Chu Yan let go of her hand. Liu Sanniang gasped. “What did you say?”

Liu Sanniang did not want to admit it, but she had a pretty good idea about what Chu Yan meant.

She forgot to thank Chu Yan and didn’t even mention his good deeds to her parents.

Liu Sanniang didn’t expect someone who would become a general in the future to be a petty person.

“You know what I mean.”

Chu Yan spoke in a low voice. His gaze landed on her hands. These hands were slender and fair.

His gaze darkened.

Liu Sanniang trembled. “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. What do you want in return? I’ll give it to you.”

Chu Yan chuckled. “Shoes.”

Liu Sanniang refused, shaking her head vigorously. “No, you can’t ask for that!”

As an unmarried daughter, how could she make shoes for other men? Hearing his request, Liu Sanniang immediately blushed.

However, Chu Yan did not give her a chance to refuse. “I only want shoes.”

Liu Sanniang lowered her voice. “I don’t know what size you wear, this…”

It was too unreasonable. She wanted to refuse.

However, before Liu Sanniang could say anything, Chu Yan gave her a stick. “This is the length of my feet.”

Chu Yan stuffed the branch to Liu Sanniang and let go of her.

Holding the branch, Liu Sanniang was angry and frustrated. Chu Yan was simply crazy. How could he make such an unreasonable request?

Liu Sanniang took a deep breath. She wanted to throw the stick away, but was afraid that Chu Yan would come looking for her if he couldn’t get the shoes.

Liu Sanniang gritted her teeth and brought the stick back.

What Liu Sanniang did not know was that after she left, Chu Yan appeared at the corner again. Looking at her back, he smiled and left.

To make shoes for Chu Yan, Liu Sanniang needed to buy new material.

However, she had to be careful and not let anyone know.

At night, Madam Wei returned with a woman who was about the same age as her.

When Liu Sanniang saw her, she was traumatized. This was the witch who came to perform witchcraft on her when she was seriously ill!

At that time, the witch jumped around, chanting a mysterious scripture. She even gave the talisman water to her mother and Madam Wei dissolved it into water for her daughter to drink. Liu Sanniang was extremely disgusted by the water.

Liu Sanniang looked confused. “Mother…”

At the thought of that talisman water, Liu Sanniang felt terrible.

Li Jingui was a famous witch in Yong County who specialized in dealing with strange things.

Madam Wei had been worried about her daughter suddenly acquiring psychic ability. She invited Li Jingui again, hoping that Li Jingui could get rid of her daughter’s psychic ability. She did not want her daughter to become a psychic.

Psychics were awe-inspiring and no one dared to offend them, but all of them lived their lives alone.

Li Jingui smiled at Liu Sanniang and told her to be rest assured. “Don’t worry, I don’t feel anything strange from your daughter.”

Madam Wei was very cautious and her tone was polite. “With you around, I’m not worried at all. It’s all thanks to you that Sanniang recovered so quickly.”

Liu Sanniang did not want to speak.

She had recovered quickly because of the medicine.

Ever since she was young, Madam Wei had never invited a witch over. It was obvious that Madam Wei was an atheist. However, last time, what Liu Sanniang said frightened Madam Wei.

Madam Wei did not believe in heaven or hell. but she invited Li Jingui back nonetheless.

Now that she had something to ask of her, she naturally had to say something nice.

Simply put, it was flattery. Everyone liked hearing good things about themselves. freew(e)bnovel.com

The doctor liked to be praised for his medical skills.

The teacher liked to be praised for being knowledgeable.

Girls liked to be praised for being beautiful.

Madam Wei praised Li Jingui for her good witchcraft abilities. Li Jingui felt delighted and smiled at Madam Wei. “Don’t worry, I can deal with all demons and monsters.”
