Since Dad broke his arm, he has been spending less and less time at home.
He wanders around outside all day, too afraid to return.
Every time he comes home, the villagers mock him.
"Hey! Isn't that the Old Xue Family?"
"Why is he missing an arm?"
"Did he do something wicked?"
The villagers' words cut into Dad's heart like knives.
Unable to stay in the village, he can only sulk at home.
Ever since that old man put a Yellow Talisman on Mom, she has become unusually docile.
She no longer speaks harshly like she used to.
On the contrary, she now fusses over Dad every day, taking care of him with great devotion.
She even competes to do the chores!
For a time, our home surprisingly experienced a rare peace.
One day, I went out to play.
To my surprise, as soon as I reached the door, I saw Mom squatting on the ground eating something.
Curious, I walked over and was stunned by the sight before me!
Mom was crouched down gnawing on a piece of raw meat!
She was covered in blood, her sharp teeth making a crunching sound as she chewed.
The whimpering noise coming from her mouth resembled that of a wild beast!
I stood frozen in fear, unsure of what to do.
Suddenly, my mother stopped chewing and turned to look at me.
To my horror, a strange green light flickered in her once-dull eyes!
I screamed and stumbled backward.
My mother grinned at me, her mouth stained with blood, making me gag uncontrollably.
"Mom..."
She slowly stood up, wiping the blood from her lips.
"Why are you out here?"
"What... what are you eating?"
Tilting her head, she gazed at me with an odd glint in her eyes. "I'm eating meat."
"This meat is really delicious."
As she spoke, she licked her lips as if savoring the taste of what she had just eaten.
Terrified, I couldn't bear to look at her any longer and turned to run back home.
From that day on, I never dared to step outside again.
Each day became dull and torturous.
As the day of my mother's delivery approached, I noticed that the Son of Fortune Doll was growing larger.
I couldn't tell if it was just my imagination.
Every time I saw her, it seemed like she had gained another layer of weight.
Yet my parents seemed oblivious to it all.
They spent their days discussing how to find work.
With my father missing an arm, he could no longer do farm work.
And with my mother about to give birth, the household expenses had increased significantly.
At that moment, my father suddenly invited a Taoist priest into our home!
The priest plastered talismans all over the inside and outside of the house and drew a talisman on the ground using chicken blood.
He placed the Son of Fortune Doll in the center of the talisman and began to chant incantations.
My father watched intently from the side, afraid to miss any detail.
“Master, can this demon really be exorcised?”
The priest waved his hand, signaling him to remain silent.
Then he picked up a Peach Wood Sword and began to gesture around the Son of Fortune Doll.
While chanting spells, he leaped into action.
Finally, he splashed a bowl of water onto the Son of Fortune Doll.
"Alright!"
"I have already driven away this demon!"
"From now on, your home will be safe and sound!"
When Dad heard this, he was overwhelmed with excitement.
He could finally be rid of this demon!
He eagerly stepped forward, wanting to stomp on the Son of Fortune Doll, but was suddenly tackled from behind by Mom!
Dad was so startled that he couldn't utter a word!
Meanwhile, the Son of Fortune Doll lay on the ground, licking the blood that had splattered onto itself.
Then it fixed its gaze on me.
As if to say:
The real show has just begun.
Ever since that day when I was scared and ran away, I had been hiding at Grandma's house.
Grandma said she had seen a real spirit exorcist before and could tell at a glance that the Taoist priest who came that day was a fraud.
So I didn't dare go home and could only stay at Grandma's for the time being.
