Chapter 22

The two exchanged a glance, and the middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes, the child also went up the mountain!"

Just as he finished speaking, he looked at the middle-aged woman with a scolding expression, "I told you not to let the child go up the mountain, to let him stay at home with his mother. You insisted on taking him, it's all your fault!"

Upon hearing the man's scolding, the middle-aged woman burst into tears, feeling wronged.

"No!" I quickly explained, "The taboo the child violated was not going to the burial with you. There's nothing wrong with the child going to the burial. It's just that during the burial, he urinated."

Hearing my words, the man looked at his wife again, his eyes full of doubt, apparently he didn't know either.

The middle-aged woman bit her lip and nodded slightly, "Yes, he went to the toilet nearby, but it was quite far from where my father was buried. Does that still violate the taboo?"

The middle-aged man glared at the woman and shouted, "Of course it does, it's all your fault!"

Forget it, this middle-aged man clearly has a chauvinistic attitude, blaming his wife whenever something goes wrong. I was starting to get annoyed and said to him, "You, just be quiet."

After saying that, I explained to her, "During a burial, the most taboo thing is for someone to urinate or defecate nearby, or for a woman on her period to attend the funeral."

After I finished speaking, both the middle-aged woman and Huang Yiyi changed their expressions, looking extremely embarrassed.

I knew that what I said made them feel a bit uncomfortable, so I quickly explained, "I don't mean to look down on you; these are taboos in traditional burials."

"I know!" The middle-aged woman nodded, a bit embarrassed, in response to me.

I continued, "The geomancer selects a specific time for the coffin to be placed in the ground. Before the coffin is placed, it must not touch the ground. If it accidentally touches the ground, the deceased must be buried on the spot. If the feng shui is good, there's no problem, but if it's bad, issues will arise. The chosen location must wait for the right moment to place the coffin, as only at that moment will all the earth's energy converge into the burial site. At that time, the place must be absolutely clean to allow the deceased to rest in peace and nourish their bones."

"But your child urinated at that exact moment, and it was a child's urine, which has a significant impact on the earth's energy. This turned the smooth flow of energy into a malevolent force, which entered your child's body, causing him to be affected by the malevolent energy."

After hearing my explanation, the middle-aged woman covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Then, is my father's feng shui destroyed? Is he not at peace?"

The middle-aged man, hearing the woman's pitiful question, immediately scolded her, "Do you even need to ask? I told you not to bring the child, not to bring the child, but you insisted that his grandfather loved him and wanted him to see him off. Now look, it's all your fault. If it weren't for you, this wouldn't have happened."

I gave the middle-aged man a dirty look; if it weren't for his age, I would have slapped him. "Didn't I tell you to be quiet?"

The middle-aged man looked at me helplessly and obediently shut his mouth.

"Actually, this did not affect your father's feng shui, so you don't need to worry.

</di>

If it had affected your father's feng shui, the child would have fainted on the spot, not two days later."

My explanation made the middle-aged woman breathe a long sigh of relief. She patted her chest and said, "I was so scared! Then, why did my child only start showing symptoms today?"

I nodded slightly and continued to explain, "As you said, you let the child see his grandfather off. His grandfather loved him and would protect him, but this protection is limited, especially since his grandfather had just passed away and his power was limited."

"While you were in your hometown, his grandfather could still protect him! But once you left your hometown, this protection became weaker. After you returned yesterday, the child should have started to have a fever, right?"

The middle-aged woman nodded and said, "Yes, he started to have a fever last night. We thought he had caught a cold, so we gave him some medicine. Who knew it would get worse today, with him unconscious and shivering all over."

"Seeing him like that really scared me; I was so, so worried."

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.

"Don't worry, everything is fine now! Take the child back home to rest, and he should be fine when he wakes up." I comforted the middle-aged woman and gave her some reassurance.

Suddenly, the middle-aged woman knelt down in front of me, excitedly saying, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Master, thank you!"

She even wanted to kowtow to me!

I quickly stopped her and helped her up, "Sister, don't do this, I can't bear it!"

At that moment, the man suddenly took out a handful of money from his pocket and handed it to me, saying, "Master, this is all I have. I know it's not enough, but please give me your bank account number, and I'll transfer the rest later."

The man held a few hundred-dollar bills, as well as ten-dollar and five-dollar bills, looking like he had emptied his pockets.

I looked at the man with a frown and said helplessly, "You, everything is fine, but you tend to panic and blame others when something happens. Actually, your wife is a lucky person for you. Without her, your life would be much harder. In the future, don't blame your wife for everything. If you drive her away one day, you'll be in big trouble."

The man was taken aback, lowered his head, and said awkwardly, "Yes, yes, I was wrong. I was too worried about the child and couldn't control myself."

"Master, he's like that, but his heart isn't bad, he just gets anxious!" The middle-aged woman, being a very understanding person, defended her husband.

"Master, I know this isn't enough, but please take it. I'll transfer the rest to your bank account when I get home." The man, seeing that I hadn't taken the money, urged me again, pushing the money forward.

I looked at the money in the man's hand, took a five-dollar bill, and said, "That's enough! You can fix your car yourself."

The man wanted to say something, but I interrupted him, "That's enough, take the child back home! It's not safe outside."

After thanking me, the two got into their car and left.

After they left, Huang Yiyi stared at me and said, "Mr. Li, you are truly a good person. There are not many people like you in this world anymore."
