The carriage stopped a bit further than it did yesterday.

Mu Shuangshuang did Xing Beichen’s makeup and then had him put on the Daoist robe and take the horsetail whisk.

Xing Beichen once again stepped into Gao Village!

As soon as he entered the village, Ms. Zhu was waiting with uninjured henchmen for Xing Beichen.

Before Xing Beichen could react, Ms. Zhu started wailing!

"Daoist... Daoist, you must save us, last night, last night our family’s twenty-plus pigs all ran away, and our hundred-plus chickens all flew off..."

Ms. Zhu described last night’s scene to Xing Beichen.

When Xing Beichen heard this, he almost died laughing, but considering his current Taoist image, he forced himself to hold back the laughter.

His face turned blue and purple from holding it in.

After calming down for a long time, he finally spoke: "Yesterday I said it would be very ominous, bad things would happen, why didn’t you believe it? Now quickly take me to see!"

Ms. Zhu didn’t hesitate to lead Xing Beichen to the Gao Family.

From the front yard, the chaos caused by the chickens and pigs last night wasn’t apparent, but upon entering the backyard, even after tidying up, it was still in shambles.

Xing Beichen completely believed what Ms. Zhu said and secretly admired Shuangshuang’s clever plan.

Gao Tiezhu, who was originally lying on the heated bed, upon hearing that Xing Beichen had arrived, couldn’t care less about his severe bone injury and insisted on getting up to see Xing Beichen.

The henchmen were left with no choice but to carry Gao Tiezhu out.

As soon as Gao Tiezhu saw Xing Beichen, he got excited!

"Daoist, hurry and save us, I’ll give you however much you want, quickly help us avert this disaster!" Gao Tiezhu said.

Xing Beichen shook his head.

Gao Tiezhu thought Xing Beichen was rejecting him, and his face instantly turned ashen!

Just when Gao Tiezhu thought he was done for, he heard Xing Beichen say, "I don’t want money, after all, it’s just worldly possessions!

I looked at everyone’s face yesterday, now give me the birthdates and times of all your family members with blood relations!"

Upon hearing Xing Beichen’s words, Gao Tiezhu hurriedly instructed Ms. Zhu to get it!

After a while, Ms. Zhu brought out a small booklet with the family members’ birthdates and times written on it.

Xing Beichen paid special attention to the direction from which Ms. Zhu brought the booklet.

Xing Beichen felt that the northeast corner of the backyard, the furthest right spot, definitely held ledgers and similar items.

Feigning seriousness, Xing Beichen examined the birthdates, randomly pinched his fingers, and then spoke earnestly.

"I’ve figured it out, someone in your house is incompatible with Madam!"

"What?" Gao Tiezhu.

"It’s like this, Madam’s features and birthdate symbolize good fortune, but there are too many dragons in the house, suppressing her luck.

These dragons are fire dragons, with fiery tempers, it’s best to drive them away!"

When Gao Tiezhu heard this, he panicked and hurriedly asked the family who was born in the year of the dragon.

Several henchmen stepped forward.

Upon seeing this, Gao Tiezhu almost fainted.

"I said, how did those animals go crazy last night and trampled all over me!

Turns out it’s because of you bunch of rascals, quickly pack your bags and get out!"

There was barely any room for negotiation, and Gao Tiezhu demanded the expulsion of the henchmen who had followed him for years, helping him with countless tasks.

The expelled henchmen naturally weren’t willing to leave.

At the Gao Family, they had food, drinks, and money, with simple tasks —

Only needing to go collect debts from people, and if they didn’t pay, beat them up, or drag their daughters out to be sold to the brothel.

"Master, don’t kick us out, if we leave here, we have nowhere to go!"

"Yeah, Master, we brothers have followed you for years, even if not for achievements, we’ve certainly worked hard, you wouldn’t burn bridges like this, right?"

Two henchmen, in desperation, finally voiced their thoughts to Gao Tiezhu.

"Shut up, didn’t you hear the Daoist say you’re bringing me bad luck? I’m telling you, whether you want to leave or not, you must leave!

If you linger in my house, don’t blame me for not giving you even the last bit of severance pay!"

Gao Tiezhu declared loudly.

When it came to money, the henchmen fell silent.

Moreover, Gao Tiezhu was the tyrant of this area, none of them could afford to provoke him.

After settling the money, Gao Tiezhu immediately expelled those henchmen.

Furthermore, he threatened them, if anyone dared to show up in Gao Village, they’d lose their lives!

The henchmen swallowed their anger and furiously left Gao Village.

"Is this good enough?" Gao Tiezhu asked!

Xing Beichen thought for a moment before speaking: "Are you sure all those born in the year of the dragon have been expelled?"

Gao Tiezhu quickly nodded!

"I guarantee, absolutely, they’ve all been expelled!"

"Alright, then I hope what you say is true! If you have no issues tonight, you’ll be able to enjoy prosperity in the future!" Xing Beichen said.

"Daoist, what do you mean by no issues tonight?" Gao Tiezhu was somewhat confused.

Last night’s events still vividly remained.

Those animals trampled on his back, tossing and turning him...

"Since you’ve driven all those born in the year of the dragon away, naturally nothing will happen! Alright, it’s late, I should leave!"

After finishing, Xing Beichen didn’t give Gao Tiezhu any chance to argue and left the Gao Family.

Initially, Ms. Zhu wanted to go and have a look, but recalling what Shijiu said, she ultimately gave up.

This time, Gao Tiezhu lost over half his henchmen.

Eight were driven out because they were born in the year of the dragon!

Seven couldn’t even stand because they were trampled by pigs last night!

The remaining ones were useless riff-raff, unable to accomplish anything!

Xing Beichen left Gao Village in high spirits.

This time, without needing reminders from Lu Yuanfeng or Mu Shuangshuang, he himself paid attention to his rear.

After ensuring there were no tails following, he went to find Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng.

As soon as they met, Xing Beichen was startled.

Beside Mu Shuangshuang was a large fat pig, sleeping lazily.

The belly was fully exposed, and Lu Yuanfeng’s hand was right on the pig’s belly, scratching it.

"Why... why is there a pig here?" Xing Beichen asked!

"This one ran from Gao Tiezhu’s house last night, it’s a sow; Fengzi and I plan to use the carriage to secretly transport the pig!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Xing Beichen almost spat out blood!

Transporting a pig with a carriage? Are you sure there’s no mistake?

"How do you know it’s a pig from Gao Tiezhu’s house? What if it’s someone else’s pig?" Xing Beichen asked.

"Rest assured, I just inquired; Gao Tiezhu’s family had twenty pigs run off as well as many chickens.

Some villagers have already picked up several chickens, but no one dared to pick up the pigs given the obvious target!"

Xing Beichen was left stunned, unable to process for quite a while.

"Let’s go, let’s lift the pig onto the carriage and transport it to our pig sty in Tie Dao Village."

Mu Shuangshuang said while urging Xing Beichen to lift the pig.

Lu Yuanfeng’s hand never left the sow’s belly; this ensured the sow remained asleep and didn’t make a noise!
