CHAPTER 1159: CHAPTER 1155: RUMORS RUNNING WILD

"I think that master is right, our village might really need to realign feng shui, otherwise it’s unlucky."

"Speaking of which, how come suddenly three kids are sick at the same time today? This is clearly a bad omen."

...

The more the villagers talked, the more sinister it sounded, and the more it seemed to make sense.

Word spread quickly, and soon the entire village was discussing conducting a ritual.

After all, this concerns the future of Liuhua Village, and the descendants’ prosperity. Who doesn’t wish for a thriving family and healthy livestock?

The village started buzzing with discussion, but Chen Yang, who had left the village early, knew nothing about what was happening.

After leaving the village, he went home and immediately saw Dai Annie tinkering in the kitchen.

"What are you doing, Annie?"

Chen Yang walked into the kitchen, asking instinctively.

At the same time, he looked down and saw the girl actually cooking noodles in the kitchen.

Or rather... boiling porridge.

A large pot of noodles had been cooked into a lump by her, looking just like a blob.

Seeing this, Chen Yang couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"Are you cooking noodles?"

Chen Yang laughed loudly as he asked.

Dai Annie turned and looked at Chen Yang, nodding earnestly: "Yes, these are noodles."

Seeing the earnest look on the girl’s face, Chen Yang was left between laughter and tears.

"This is noodles? I think it’s more like a blob; it’s all lumped together."

Dai Annie, through Chen Yang’s expression, only then realized something was wrong with what she made.

"Ah? You mean I messed it up? This is my first time, I have no experience... just wanted to make breakfast for you." Dai Annie said somewhat aggrievedly.

Chen Yang initially wanted to tease the girl a bit, as her skill was really something not everyone could manage.

But seeing her good intentions, and how aggrieved she was, he chose not to mock her.

Instead, he smiled, stroked her hair, and comforted: "Alright alright, I understand your intentions, but if you haven’t cooked before, it’s hard to get it right. Leave it to me."

As soon as Chen Yang said these reassuring words, a smile appeared on Dai Annie’s face.

"Alright then, you do it, I’ll assist you from the side." Dai Annie playfully stepped aside.

Chen Yang shook his head helplessly, picked up the spatula, and started working.

The noodles Annie cooked were definitely unusable, so he discarded them, then started again by boiling water and cooking noodles.

Chen Yang made breakfast by himself every day, and he was quite experienced with this noodle-cooking skill.

As he cooked the noodles, he seriously taught Dai Annie beside him how to master the noodle-making techniques.

And Dai Annie was also very seriously learning beside him.

"Once it looks like this, it’s almost ready to take out of the pot. Cooking noodles is easy; it’s not as complicated as you think." Chen Yang said with a smile as he took the perfectly cooked noodles out of the pot.

Dai Annie watched very attentively and indeed learned quite a few things, at least she wouldn’t make it like before.

"Hehe, it turns out it can be done this quickly. I thought it would take a long time to cook." Dai Annie stuck out her tongue, playfully said.

Chen Yang smiled and stroked her hair: "Noodles cook easily. Cook it like you did, and it’ll become glob, a blob."

"Alright, the noodles are ready. Let’s go eat, and then take a walk after eating."

Chen Yang picked up the noodles, took Dai Annie out of the kitchen, and went to the dining table in the inner room to eat.

After finishing the meal, Chen Yang prepared to take Dai Annie out for a walk.

Meanwhile, checking on the orchard’s situation.

Over the past few days, the fruits in the orchard should be nearing maturity, requiring close attention to pick them in time.

But before heading out, Wu Kexin suddenly came over.

"Kexin sister, why are you here? Are you here to play with me?" Seeing Wu Kexin suddenly appear at the door, Dai Annie exclaimed with joy, running over and excitedly linking arms with Wu Kexin.

"No, I’m here to see Chen Yang about something."

Wu Kexin replied with a smile to Dai Annie.

At this moment, Chen Yang also came out of the room. Hearing Wu Kexin’s words, he smiled and asked: "What’s the matter, why are you looking for me?"

Wu Kexin looked up at Chen Yang upon hearing this: "About the village’s feng shui."

"Village feng shui?"

Chen Yang was somewhat surprised when he heard this.

"Yes, just now many uncles and aunts from the village came to the village office looking for me. They all wanted to conduct a ritual in the village to gather the village’s feng shui, saying this way the village’s development would be better, and the days ahead could be more peaceful." Wu Kexin nodded and said.

After listening to Wu Kexin’s account, Chen Yang finally understood that this was the villagers’ idea.

He was surprised earlier, thinking it was Wu Kexin’s idea.

"Why does everyone have this idea? Dao Hong Mage just casually mentioned it, why did everyone take it so seriously?" Chen Yang felt a bit overwhelmed.

Superstitious activities in rural areas are the most troublesome.

"Isn’t it because Qiangzi and the others got sick this morning? After you left, the village started discussing it, and they attributed the illness of the three kids to feng shui, so now everyone strongly wants to conduct a ritual for peace of mind." Wu Kexin continued.

"And this works?"

Chen Yang cried and laughed helplessly, this was really something.

Qiangzi and the others were just ordinarily sick; how did it get linked to feng shui?

That Dao Hong really caused quite a stir, with just a simple sentence making the villagers anxious, now probably not even focusing on work?

"Chen Yang, I think we might as well invite Dao Hong over to conduct a ritual for good fortune and peace of mind. Otherwise, people in the village will keep talking." While Chen Yang was helpless, Wu Kexin spoke again, her plan was to go along with everyone’s idea and conduct a ritual, which seemed the best way, spending money to avoid disaster.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang didn’t answer immediately but thoughtfully pondered the matter.

Thinking it over, he eventually decided to agree with Wu Kexin’s idea, to let Dao Hong come back for another ritual.

The villagers were after all well-intentioned, considering him.

Moreover, if this ritual wasn’t done, later on, any incident in the village would likely be blamed on feng shui.

If everyone keeps this mindset, that won’t work.

It could lead to major issues.

"Okay, let’s go with your idea then. Invite that Dao Hong over for another ritual, and I’ll cover the cost." Chen Yang agreed.

Seeing Chen Yang agree, Wu Kexin also showed a relaxed smile.

She knew Chen Yang didn’t believe in these things, so she was worried he wouldn’t agree and had prepared to persuade him.

She did not expect Chen Yang to agree so decisively.

"Alright, I’ll contact him today, and the ritual will be conducted tomorrow." Wu Kexin nodded with a smile, and after some casual chatting in the clinic, she left.
