Chapter 18: The wedding dress began to bleed
Sixteen years ago.
At that time, the world was experiencing a severe drought that had lasted for a long time, with people dying of hunger all over the fields and corpses strewn all over the ground. Changing children to eat became a normal thing in the face of survival.
And in this poor village, when the muddy water cannot be dug out, everyone must accept the fate of death.
It was in this year, at this moment, with a heavy rain, that I was born.
Now I am sixteen years old, and those who come here late at night, whether they are the elderly village chief or these strong uncles, have all experienced those painful years.
Now that life is getting better, they seem to have forgotten the struggle for survival.
But have you really forgotten?
Now that I exposed it in public, everyone tightened their grip on their hoes and could no longer proceed.
They looked at me with guilt-filled eyes, which made me feel disheartened.
And I made my decision long before I went up the mountain.
"Aren't you curious why there have been more and more weird things since my family members died?"
I smiled maliciously: "Because, for sixteen years before this, it was my grandfather and my parents who protected this village."
"As long as I don't leave the village and as long as they are still alive, all the monsters and ghosts will be kept far outside the village."
My zombie parents, who have refused to touch a mouthful of blood for sixteen years, are becoming increasingly weak and painful, but their deterrence is also increasing day by day.
"But," I looked at Chunyan and gave her a gentle and innocent smile, as if I was happy to treat her as a sister.
Under the light of the fire, I could clearly see her trembling violently, and then her face turned pale.
"Chunyan, you are so smart, can you guess how they died?"
"That's right, you lured me to the outside land, and then I was entangled by the snake demon... The village couldn't protect me, and my parents died to save you."
Chunyan shrank, and I could even feel the hatred projected by everyone around me.
"The snake demon came to my house late at night and killed my grandfather... So in just one day, I lost all my relatives."
I looked over one by one, and everyone's faces were extremely shocked, unbelievable and panicked.
Shocked because of the truth I said.
It's unbelievable because the ghost's speculation is too far-fetched.
And the panic was because they understood what I had not finished saying——
Without the protection of my family, will those inexplicable tragedies happen to them again in the future?
Everyone began to panic.
And I just feel happy.
I am a selfish and ordinary person, and I do not have the heart to forgive such great love. Seeing them in pain right now makes me feel happy.
However, after the joy passed, I looked at my grandfather's tomb with his coffin dug out, and my heart was swept by great pain.
——I will make them pay!
At this moment, I turned my head slightly and said to the wedding girl beside me, who had been looking at me distressedly: "Can you help me?"
I didn't say what I wanted to help, but the girl in the wedding dress quickly began to transform into a body - her white and soft cheeks turned pale and stiff again, and her slightly dark eyes were quickly dyed with ink, filling the air with a pool of blackness.
The pool of terror in the whites of your eyes.
The most important thing is that everyone present saw her appearance.
"Bang!"
"Bang bang!"
The hoes in everyone's hands fell to the ground instantly.
One of them hit the coffin and made a dull sound.
And when I looked over, I saw the tall and strong uncles in front of me collapsed to the ground in an instant, trembling all over and unable to say a word!
Looking at Chunyan again, her eyes were widened. She probably had never imagined such a scene in her life! Or maybe she remembered the experience of nearly losing her life in the river that day. At this moment, she was shaking so much that she could hardly hold on to the small tree beside her.
Seeing their appearance, I felt happy and sarcastic at the same time.
Happily, now I will be able to protect my family, even if it's just their graves.
The irony is that in this world, just being a good person is not enough, you also need to have enough ability to protect yourself.
This saying makes a lot of sense when people are bullied when they are kind.
Immediately afterwards, the wedding dress on the wedding girl began to drip with blood, and her whole body was filled with an ominous and terrifying aura.
The slender fingers were quickly covered with sharp black nails, and two lines of blood and tears suddenly fell down, and he had become a ghost in the eyes of the world.
She smiled stiffly at me.
Tonight, this smile was the only one that was sincere - my eyes were red: "Thank you."
The girl in the wedding dress nodded to me and ran down the mountain whistling.
…
The coldness around my body was so cold that it seemed as if the yin energy of nine cold days slowly dissipated. The men present looked at me, and even their voices trembled:
"Yu, Yu Xin, why did you ask her to come down the mountain?"
I smiled slightly and said nothing.
But this smile seemed to make them tremble even more.
Next, a man who used to think of himself as an elder knelt down in front of me, banging, banging, banging, and kowtowing desperately!
"Yu Xin! Yu Xin! I'm sorry for Uncle Yu and Brother Yu, please let us go!"
"Please, spare us!"
At this moment, how pious their begging gestures were!
Even Chunyan was trembling, and she knelt down while holding on to the tree trunk, looking at me with weak and pitiful pleading in her eyes.
The village chief stood there blankly, if you just looked at his appearance - gray hair, sparse beard, and an old face.
At this moment, he was looking at me with tears in his eyes, pleading and trembling... How pitiful, as if I was the evil one!
In the past, I would have been so soft-hearted and at a loss what to do.
But I have been soft-hearted too many times.
I looked at him: "Village chief, don't worry, I won't kill anyone."
But as soon as he said this, his lips started to tremble. Now he was crawling on the ground in a state of embarrassment. He rushed to the grave where his grandfather was dug and exposed the top of the coffin. He desperately pulled away the scattered loess with his hands and started again.
Cover up:
"Yu Xin! Brother Yu! I'm sorry for you, so I'll help you repair your grave! It's well repaired! Please build a monument and offer sacrifices to it every month and every year!"
He looked at me pleadingly, his body covered with loess, and he was about to re-bury the exposed coffin.
But I just wanted to sneer, and finally shook my head slowly.
They looked at me with despair in their eyes.
But I didn't miss the fierceness flashing in everyone's eyes when they looked at each other - who can bear to be threatened by a weak woman?
Now that the scary female ghost has come down the mountain, why don't they give it a try?
This is human nature.
I didn't say anything and slowly knelt down in front of my grandfather's tombstone.
Then he stretched out his hands and pressed them firmly on the ground:
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I was too weak before."
But I won't do it anymore.
Chapter completed!
