Chapter 110: Chapter 110: The Ancestor Sells Fetal Protection Talismans
Jiangli looked at Song Taishan, her eyes curving into crescent moons as she smiled.
Hearing this, Song Taishan hesitated and asked, “Is there really such a talisman?”
“Jiaoyang Temple has all kinds of talismans. There’s nothing you can think of that we can’t draw,” Xia Xin popped up from the side, quickly pitching himself.
Jiangli chimed in, “That’s right.”
Listening to their back-and-forth, Song Taishan had a feeling that he was about to be swindled out of his money. He asked warily, “How much does one talisman cost?”
“Fair and square for young and old, one talisman is ten thousand yuan, but since we’re old acquaintances, I can give Captain Song a 20% discount,” Jiangli said with a smile, gesturing the amount with her fingers.
Song Taishan quickly did the math in his head, his pupils shaking, “Twenty percent off, that’s still eight thousand?”
That’s his monthly salary!
Jiangli smiled subtly and said, “This price is already very cheap. I haven’t even charged Captain Song for divining his fortune, which costs eight hundred thousand per session. I’ve already waived the fee for the previous sessions, considering that we’re acquaintances.”
Song Taishan’s heart raced.
Eight, eight hundred thousand…
This is robbery, outright robbery!!!
He looked at Jiangli’s seemingly innocent face and suddenly felt he was getting an incredible bargain.
A talisman for only eight thousand, such a steal…
Taking a deep breath, he said, “Okay, I’ll buy one Fetal Protection Talisman.”
“Then come to Jiaoyang Temple to pick it up tomorrow. I don’t have it on me right now. As for the payment, you can scan and pay when you come to get it tomorrow,” Jiangli said with a knowing look, with her hands behind her back.
Song Taishan nodded in agreement, but then he felt something was off.
When it came to identity cards and such, Jiangli had no clue.
How come she seems so familiar with scanning a code to pay?
Do people from the mountains not know about identity cards, but know about scanning codes to pay?
What kind of strange situation was this?
Before Song Taishan could get clarification, Jiangli had already started walking away.
Song Taishan hurriedly said, “Then I’ll come to get the Fetal Protection Talisman tomorrow!”
Jiangli didn’t turn back as she waved her hand, “Remember to come early. If you’re late, I might have already left.”
Song Taishan immediately took note.
Xia Xin buttered him up with a nod, quickly following Jiangli.
After parting ways with Song Taishan, Xia Xin looked back, no longer seeing Song Taishan, he couldn’t help but click his tongue in admiration, “Ancestor, you’re truly amazing!”
He had just said that this wasn’t a place for peddling feudal superstitions.
Jiangli started selling talismans right there and then!
“But Ancestor, do we really have a Fetal Protection Talisman?” He thought carefully about the talismans Jiangli drew yesterday, all of which he recognized; there didn’t seem to be any Fetal Protection Talisman.
Furthermore, he had never even heard of a Fetal Protection Talisman.
When the Abbot was around, he never drew such talismans.
Xia Xin had boasted confidently in front of Song Taishan without considering this.
Now that he thought about it…
Conning a policeman out of his money, wouldn’t that make the crime even worse?
Xia Xin, with his heart in his throat, looked at Jiangli pitifully.
Jiangli was very calm as she said, “Of course there is. If I say there is, then there is. It’s just that I didn’t draw it yesterday. Just draw one when we get back.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Xin exhaled in relief and patted his chest, “As long as there is one, that’s fine.”
No sooner had Xia Xin spoken than someone waved at them from the entrance of the police station.
He looked up and saw a woman.
He didn’t recognize her.
“Ancestor, who is she?” Xia Xin asked curiously.
Jiangli said, “She’s the person who came to the police station with me.”
Xia Xin suddenly remembered something.
That’s right, he hadn’t asked Jiangli why she ended up at the police station as a witness in the first place.
However, before he could ask, Jiangli was already walking towards Zhang Meijuan.
