Chapter 17: The villagers secretly dig graves late at night
In this barren land illuminated by torches, graves stand tall, where the bones of villagers have been buried for many years.
Several uncles and uncles looked at each other, and now they also clenched their hoes and waved them in unison!
"Peng!"
A pile of loess seemed to be scattered in front of my eyes, making me subconsciously close my eyes!
The severe pain in his eyes suddenly dissipated.
The room was quiet, except for the wedding girl who looked at me worriedly: "What's wrong?"
I touched my eyes in a daze.
Then, he reacted instantly, stood up in a panic, and quickly rushed towards the back mountain——
"They...they are going to dig the graves of my grandfather and parents!"
…
The summer night wind carried an annoying and irritating heat. I ran all the way. I couldn't tell the difference between sweat and tears. I only knew——
The graves of grandpa and parents will be gone soon!
Everyone knows that even if they have a life-and-death feud, they will not secretly dig their graves. This will prevent their souls from resting in peace in heaven!
How dare they?
How dare they!
Why exactly is this happening?
Grandpa has been doing good things all his life and never quarreled with others.
My parents restrained their bloodthirsty desires and protected the village for sixteen years.
And I... I think I have never done anything bad, so why should I endure such suffering!
And Chunyan... I think of her words, and at this moment I can no longer control my murderous intent and hatred - Chunyan! You will be punished by God!
The girl in the wedding dress also quickly followed her. At this moment, she was still in a ghostly state and no one could notice her.
She comforted me: "Benefactor, don't worry, I will stop them."
I stood at the foot of the back mountain, silently watching the lights on the mountain. The cool breath swept over me, making me calm down.
"Need not."
I heard my calm voice: "I want to see it with my own eyes."
Look at how these people are worse than ghosts.
…
At the back mountain.
A group of people were digging sweatily.
At this moment, the leading man sighed: "Dad Yu is such a kind person, but it's a pity that I carried his coffin when he was buried. I never thought that today I would have to dig his grave again."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the old village chief: "We are committing evil!"
As soon as he said this, everyone stopped moving.
Silence.
The back mountain was so quiet, it seemed like even the wind could not be heard.
After a while, someone finally echoed: "Yeah... why did you get to the point of digging graves?"
"It turns out that our village competed with others for water and became a feud. We didn't even mention digging graves..."
The village chief also closed his eyes.
"If there was any other way, I wouldn't do such a thing that stabs the spine. But recently, far and near, too many people have died. We have to figure out what's going on."
As he said this, in the corner, Chun Yan's face was hidden under the torch, half orange and half shadow, and she also let out a sigh.
"Uncles, I know you can't bear it too. But we also have to think about our own families - usually, our village is safe and sound, and nothing like this has ever happened."
"But recently, there was first the money matchmaker, then Chen Dalang, and then there was news about the massacre of the village outside... There must be something weird about this!"
"All the weird things in our village started when the Yu family died inexplicably... Yu Xin was secretive."
"Who would do this unless they had to?"
I stood aside and looked at Chunyan's tempting appearance with cold eyes. At this moment, I felt extremely ridiculed——
"Are you forced to do so? Or are you bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and you also love fame?"
I am a weak woman with no strength in my hands and have never left the village in my life. If you really want to explore, why can't you come and ask me?
Even if I lie, I don't even ask. Do I really want the truth?
It's just that I don't want to be accused of "bullying the weak and fearing the strong".
And after digging the graves, even if nothing happens, can Grandpa and the others still rest here? They are so weak that they cannot even save the tombs of their ancestors, and everyone can trample on them. How can I still live?
Either you find a random cat or dog to marry, and your life and death depend on your husband's family, or you suffer all kinds of humiliation.
After all, my appearance is already the original sin.
This is my future.
Before, I would never have thought of this.
But since Chunyan came to ask me to marry into her family, all of this was clearly visible in my eyes.
They dig graves late at night, shouting about crime, but what they are brandishing is greed.
And I looked at the hole in front of me - grandpa's coffin was exposed... I knew what to do.
…
I suddenly made a sound, and everyone was frightened for a moment.
They didn't expect that I would find out what they had hidden from even their own family so quickly and even catch them.
For a moment, everyone lowered their heads.
On the other hand, it was Chunyan who stared at me: "Yu Xin, you still said you are not weird!"
"If it wasn't weird, how did you know that we were going to dig a grave tonight?"
Sure enough, everyone was staring at me with alert eyes.
Now that it has happened, I don’t want to hide it anymore.
I need merit, so I can't kill easily, but there are things in this world that are more painful than killing.
for example……
I walked forward slowly, looked at Chunyan's increasingly thick black mist under the firelight, and smiled softly:
"Chunyan, you used to have sex with the man who turned into a snake demon, and now you dare to come to the tomb at night before the demonic aura has dissipated?"
As soon as this was said, no matter whether it was true or false, everyone couldn't help but look at Chunyan!
Whether it's a snake demon or a woman making love with someone, this is a naturally explosive topic. For a while, the eyes of the men present became meaningful.
Before, many disgusting looks were cast around me.
Chunyan's face turned pale - I guess she is so smart, even if she still has no memory, she must have gone home after hearing what I said that day and asked about her abnormality during this time...
But in just a short moment, she immediately returned to normal and stared at me: "Yu Xin, do you think anyone will believe you when you make this up? What kind of snake demon is this?"
See, this is the disadvantage of not reading.
For example, right now, she can't even say anything more powerful when she scolds me.
It doesn't matter to me: a person's name, a tree's shadow, as long as words are spread, the good reputation she is proud of will collapse.
For Chunyan, who is determined to marry into a wealthy family and build a good reputation, she will not be able to sleep peacefully in the coming days and nights.
And she is the instigator. Are these people who come here not motivated by greed and malice?
I didn’t even bother to say anything more, so I got straight to the point:
"Sixteen years ago, there was a severe drought. How many more people in our village could live because of the rain when I was born?"
"Village Chief, I'm not coveting the credit for this rainfall. This is a gift from God. But we experienced a drought sixteen years ago and we all escaped death together. I don't talk about this feeling, and my uncles don't talk about it either. Village Chief, how about you?
How dare you forget?"
Why didn't they dare to tell their families and instead did it late at night?
It's just that I feel guilty, knowing that I won't be supported, so I want to kill him first and then show him off.
Human nature, now I can see it somewhat clearly.
