Chapter 46 The snail spirit was almost sent away!
Inside the Zhao family's old residence.
Grandma Sun, Zhao Daqiang, and Zhou Shi all politely invited Matchmaker You to their home. To show their sincerity, they even bought a pair of white geese in advance, which Matchmaker You would take to the Zhang family later.
"Matchmaker You, we will provide the twelve taels of betrothal gifts that the Zhang family mentioned. Please make a trip to the Zhang family to propose marriage and help convey that my Xiaofeng wants to marry Caixia."
When the two children get married, I'll definitely give you a big red envelope, and you'll receive all the proper matchmaker's gifts.
As soon as Grandma Sun finished speaking, Matchmaker You couldn't stop smiling.
Once a match is brought together, the matchmaker receives not only a red envelope (a traditional Chinese gift of money), but also gifts such as meat, fish, wine, and snacks.
Depending on their own circumstances, the amount of food prepared will vary, but at least six catties of meat, two large silver carp, two catties of wine, and four kinds of snacks.
Being a matchmaker is a good profession; you can make money and even have food to eat.
Zhang Caixia from Heiniu Village is quite pretty, but in a place where the bride price is only five taels of silver in the surrounding villages, no matter how pretty she is, there aren't many foolish and rich men willing to pay double the bride price to marry her!
Finally, Zhao Feng was willing to pay ten taels to marry her, but unexpectedly, after hearing about Zhao Lianhua's story, the Zhang family raised the price by two taels.
Even the matchmaker thought it was absolutely impossible for the marriage to happen, but the Zhao family's old house actually agreed. Old Mrs. Sun really doted on her eldest grandson.
Matchmaker You blurted out auspicious words: "This marriage is a match made in heaven. The days to come will be like sesame flowers blooming, getting better and better, and sweeter and sweeter."
Zhang Caixia is gentle and virtuous, a good homemaker, and says, "Your Xiaofeng is strong and healthy..."
Before the matchmaker could even utter the word "Zhuang," Zhao Feng, hunched over in a chair, closed his eyes, seemingly asleep, showing no sign of masculinity whatsoever.
She couldn't bring herself to say the auspicious words that were almost on her lips.
But when she thought about the benefits she could get after facilitating this marriage, she gritted her teeth and continued talking.
"With your strong and healthy bodies, you're sure to be able to support a family, and the two of you will definitely make your lives prosperous and thriving..."
Just as the matchmaker was halfway through her speech, Zhao Feng, who was sitting in the chair, suddenly let out a scream.
Then came a series of screams of "Ahhh!"
He kept shouting and covered his face with his hands, then touched his feet, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.
"My dear grandson, what's wrong? Tell Grandma where it hurts."
Grandma Sun said worriedly.
Seeing that Matchmaker You's expression was not quite right, Zhao Daqiang quickly stepped forward and pulled Zhao Feng back, telling him to sit still.
Immediately, Zhao Daqiang offered a weak explanation to Matchmaker You:
"This child must have accidentally fallen asleep and had a nightmare. Please don't be offended."
Matchmaker You put on her professional smile, thinking to herself: If it weren't for the fact that your family is willing to give twelve taels of silver as a bride price to the Zhang family, I would have definitely turned around and left.
Which young man can fall asleep or even have nightmares when meeting a matchmaker?
Zhao family.
The menstrual spirit stabbed wildly inside the shell with its needle, only to find that the snail spirit, apart from shrinking smaller and smaller, still couldn't transform into human form.
She said regretfully, "This method won't work?"
The durian spirit's eyes suddenly lit up, and she smiled at Zhao Taohua, saying:
"Sister Zhao, the snail spirit has retreated into its shell. Can I release some foul odor to make it stink and come out?"
Perhaps it can even transform into human form?
Zhao Taohua said, "Why don't you give it a try!"
After saying that, Zhao Taohua immediately set up a shield to prevent others from being suffocated by the durian spirit.
Her stench was absolutely intoxicating.
With Zhao Taohua's permission, the durian spirit excitedly approached the snail spirit, and the durian tucked in her hair immediately bloomed from its tightly closed state.
Instantly, a foul stench was released, so bad that the snail spirit convulsed inside its shell, and a sticky mucus oozed out.
Those two monsters are simply inhuman!
They're sending it away!
Inside the Zhao family's old residence.
Zhao Daqiang breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Zhao Feng sit down quietly.
Suddenly, Zhao Feng covered his nose with both hands, shook himself violently from side to side, and shouted:
"It stinks, it stinks so bad, it stinks so bad!"
He then suddenly knelt on the ground, foaming at the mouth, which startled the matchmaker so much that she stood up from her chair.
She looked at Zhao Feng in horror and cursed at Old Lady Sun and the others:
"Is your son Xiaofeng sick or something? How dare you ask me to be your matchmaker?"
No wonder they were willing to spend twelve taels of silver as a bride price to marry the Zhang family girl; what kind of family is this!
After saying that, she lifted her foot and walked outside, not daring to linger for even a moment longer.
Grandma Sun quickly tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Matchmaker You, my dear grandson isn't usually like this."
Zhou also explained, "This is all a misunderstanding..."
Unfortunately, no matter what they said, Matchmaker You wouldn't turn around.
Fortunately, the matchmaker You was planning to go to the Zhang family to ask for Zhang Caixia's birth date and time after leaving the Zhao family's old house, and then bring it to the Zhao family's old house to have the two children's birth dates and times matched.
Fortunately, she noticed in time that something was wrong with Zhao Feng; otherwise, her reputation would have been ruined by the Zhao family's old house.
Lately, something really strange has been happening at the Zhao family's old house. First it was Zhao Lianhua, then Zhao Feng; both of these kids are acting strangely.
I heard that last time Zhao Lianhua got involved with a troll, this time, Zhao Feng is either sick or he's got involved with a madman!
His behavior is strange; he doesn't seem quite normal.
Inside the Zhao family's old house, Grandma Sun was terrified when she saw Zhao Feng foaming at the mouth and rolling his eyes.
"My dear grandson, what's wrong? Don't scare Grandma!"
Zhou hurriedly asked Zhao Daqiang to invite Zhao Xiangping over.
When Zhao Xiangping arrived, Zhao Feng was still lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing.
Zhao Xiangping frowned: "Epilepsy?"
But the symptoms don't quite match.
After checking on him, Zhao Xiangping found that Zhao Feng had already fainted, but his body was still twitching and foaming at the mouth.
Even if a person has passed out, their muscles are still not in a relaxed state.
Zhao Xiangping could only intervene by pressing acupoints and applying acupuncture, which finally put Zhao Feng into a true coma, and his body stopped convulsing and he stopped vomiting white foam.
Grandma Sun asked worriedly, "Uncle Xiangping, what's wrong with my dear grandson?"
Zhao Xiangping touched Zhao Feng's body and felt something was strange:
"Why is he all wet and sticky?"
Zhao Xiangping quickly opened his palm, and when he spread his fingers, there was actually stringy residue between them.
When Grandma Sun, Mrs. Zhou, and Zhao Daqiang saw this scene, they immediately remembered the saliva on Zhao Feng's chopsticks when he ate at the dinner table.
Something seems off with this child!
Grandma Sun also reached out and touched it; it felt like slime.
Normal people only sweat, not produce this kind of stuff.
When Zhao Xiangping treated Zhao Feng last time, Zhao Feng was burning up with fever, so he didn't notice this.
Zhao Xiangping and the three of them exchanged glances, and then Zhao Xiangping said, "Could Xiao Feng have picked up some spirits on the mountain?"
Grandma Sun and the other two stared wide-eyed. They didn't know either, but they felt that this must be the case.
Zhou recalled, "But when Xiao Feng was rescued and brought down the mountain, Tao Hua was there, and she didn't say that Xiao Feng was being haunted by a monster!"
Suddenly, Old Mrs. Sun realized something and gritted her teeth, saying:
"That little mutt must want money again. She won't do anything without it!"
