After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 69

Chapter 69: The Foot-Scratching Man
Ever since Zhouzhou learned how to paint from Grandpa Wen that afternoon, she became addicted to it and would draw whenever she had free time.

Her family doted on her. Although they knew her paintings weren’t good, they never criticized her and instead praised her endlessly.

On the other hand, Qin Er, looking at the papers scattered on the ground due to the wind, bent down to pick them up and stacked them together. He frowned and said, “Don’t waste paper.”

Zhouzhou looked up, blinked her eyes, and said seriously, “Second Elder brother, I didn’t waste it.”

What else could it be if not a waste?

Qin Er was about to say something when the doorbell suddenly rang. He swallowed his words, walked over to open the door, and was surprised to see the person outside. “Grandpa?”

Of course, it wasn’t his grandfather but Little Seven’s grandfather, Grandpa Wen.

“Why are you here?” Qin Er invited him in and noticed there was a young man following behind him, so he took a quick glance at him.

He was tall and burly but was hiding behind Grandpa Wen. He had dark circles under his eyes, and his eyes were filled with undisguised panic, as if something had frightened him, giving him an abnormal appearance.

Grandpa Wen furrowed his brow and asked, “Little Er, is Zhouzhou here?”

“Here.” He had heard his voice long ago, and Zhouzhou ran out of the study, poking her head out to look at him. “Grandpa, are you looking for me?”

Grandpa Wen glanced at the young man behind him and nodded.

Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin also came out when they saw him. They were also somewhat surprised, but they didn’t say anything and had someone pour tea for him and asked him to sit down.

“Did you come today with something to discuss?”

“Mm.” Grandpa Wen hadn’t spoken yet. He sighed first, then glanced at the young man behind him. He didn’t know how to start.

But seeing him so frightened, he could only say, “Here’s the thing, Zhouzhou drew several paintings at my place that day. This student of mine happened to see them and took one back. But… he said he encountered a ghost and insisted that it was because of the painting.”

He paused, lowering his voice, “He even said he met a ghost because of it.”

After speaking, Grandpa Wen’s face also became extremely embarrassed. If it weren’t for this student who was squatting at his house every day, asking him who painted these, he wouldn’t have wanted to make this trip.

This news, if it were to spread, would be quite ridiculous. Just a child’s random scribbles could attract ghosts? Did they think Zhouzhou was some Heaven Master?

However, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin didn’t show much surprise when they heard this. After all, their own granddaughter was indeed a Heaven Master.

On the side, Zhouzhou had been staring at Sun Xin all this time and suddenly asked, “Do you have any swords or knives placed by your bedside?”

Hearing this, Sun Xin’s body trembled, and he blurted out, “How did you know?”

It turned out to be true.

Grandpa Wen was also somewhat astonished.

Sun Xin said, “I do have a sword hanging by my bedside. Isn’t it said to ward off evil and disasters?”

“Swords and knives are indeed used for warding off evil, but they should be placed in the living room or study. Putting them by your bedside will attract negative energy. My paintings are originally capable of warding off evil, but they were too far away, so that spiritual entity has probably been in your room for a long time, beyond their reach.”

Since the moment he entered, Zhouzhou knew what he had encountered.

Because he carried the unique Yin and malevolent aura of a spiritual entity.

“That spiritual entity touched you, didn’t it?” Hearing this, Sun Xin nodded repeatedly, both scared and angry. “When I sleep at night, I always feel like someone is pressing on my back. When I wake up in the morning, my body feels like it’s falling apart. Sometimes when I’m playing games, I often feel someone knocking on the back of my head. And there are strange sounds, like someone cursing at me. And when I come back from work in the evening, my computer is mysteriously turned on.”

He was convinced, “It must be a female ghost!”

Surprisingly, Zhouzhou asked, “Why female?”

“Why not?” Sun Xin analyzed confidently. “She touched me and called me handsome. She must have taken a liking to me and wants to have some unfinished business between a human and a ghost, just like in the movies.”

Zhouzhou: “…”

She didn’t understand, but this uncle was truly narcissistic.

She looked at him seriously and said, “She doesn’t like you.”

She just doesn’t like you, that’s why she slapped the back of your head.

However, Yao Sun Xin didn’t believe it. “How is that possible? If she doesn’t like me, why would she touch me?”

Zhouzhou looked at him suspiciously. “Are you sure it was a touch?” Wasn’t it a slap?

“Of course!”

Seeing the two of them arguing and the topic going off track, Grandma Qin hurriedly asked, “Zhouzhou, what should we do about this?”

Zhouzhou immediately snapped back to attention and said, “It’s alright, I’ll go and take care of it.”

A trivial matter, not important.

Saying that, Zhouzhou stood up and prepared to leave.

Grandpa Wen listened, completely puzzled, and looked at Grandpa Qin in confusion, asking, “Old Qin, what’s going on here?” He didn’t understand a word of what Zhouzhou said.

Grandpa Qin thought for a moment. Since he wasn’t an outsider, he simply lowered his voice and whispered, “Old Wen, don’t worry. Zhouzhou grew up in a Taoist temple and learned some mystical things from her master.”

Grandpa Wen was at a loss. Wasn’t the little girl raised in a Buddhist temple? How did it become a Taoist temple?

This is a long story, and Grandpa Qin didn’t explain anything. He just held onto Grandpa Wen and followed along.

Before long, they arrived at Sun Xin’s place.

Sun Xin also realized that Zhouzhou was extraordinary. He bent down, gripping the hem of her clothes, and said fearfully, “Can you really solve this?”

“Of course.” Compared to him, Zhouzhou appeared much calmer, more like an adult. Her gaze fell on a certain spot. “I can already see him.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Xin trembled, his voice trembling, “Then quickly get rid of this female ghost!”

Upon hearing these words, Zhouzhou tilted her head and looked at him, saying seriously, “Uncle, it’s not a female.”

Saying that, she raised her small hand, and everyone saw a person appearing on the chair.

That person had one foot on the chair, scratching it a few times, and then typing on the keyboard, making clacking sounds. He didn’t have much hair on his head, but had a bad temper. He occasionally cursed, “Come on, I’ve controlled people, why are you running? You dogs sold me out. Ghosts are more righteous than you…”

Suddenly, he noticed something and turned his head, seeing everyone staring at him, he exclaimed, “You can see me?”

“Ah!” Sun Xin screamed, almost wetting himself.

Grandpa Wen wasn’t frightened by the foot-scratching big man, but he almost had a heart attack. He couldn’t believe his eyes, as it completely shattered his understanding.

“You can really see me.” The foot-scratching big man was also extremely curious. He stopped playing the game and leaned over, asking. Seeing Zhouzhou’s unchanged expression, he found it embarrassing. Sun Xin’s reaction should be the normal one.

Thinking about it, he suddenly flashed in front of her and made a ghost face, laughing creepily, “Are you scared?”

Zhouzhou tilted her head back in disdain. Seeing that he didn’t stop, she clenched her fist and punched him away, saying, “Uncle, you’re too ugly!”

He was already ugly, and now he was making a ghost face. Absolutely hideous!

Zhouzhou sighed, took out two cleansing talismans, and wiped her eyes with them, feeling slightly more comfortable.

Grandma Qin shook her head, raised her thumb at her, and said, “This young man has good taste. He picked the most powerful one among us.”

The foot-scratching big man, who was stuck to the wall and couldn’t get down, muttered, “Who knew that nowadays kids can deceive people better than ghosts!”

Zhouzhou looked at him and suddenly exclaimed, taking a step forward.

Seeing her approaching, the foot-scratching big man instinctively moved back, immediately surrendering, “Big sis, I was wrong!”

“You’re the big sis.” Zhouzhou pouted, not very pleased, her gaze fixed on the evil energy at his chest, her eyebrows furrowing. “Were you killed by someone?”
