The village's wise woman was well-known to everyone.
She was someone who could converse with the dead, and if she claimed to see a dark aura surrounding this girl, didn't that imply that the girl had been followed by some unclean presence?
If that were true, dealing with her could risk attracting those unclean things to themselves.
Villagers who had signed up began whispering among themselves, debating whether they should sell or not.
"If you ask me, we'd better skip it this time. Sister Wu rarely tells lies, and if she's speaking up today like this, there must be a reason. Everyone, don't forget, Sister Wu can talk to the dead. Maybe she can see those unclean presences. I'm sure Sister Wu is right."
