Chapter 44 Bride Cuihong
It turned out that the villagers had woken up long ago.
"You have been guarding outside, how come you didn't notice that they woke up?" Lu Chuan frowned and looked at the team members with some questioning eyes.
It's not that he didn't trust his team members, but with so many eyes watching, no one noticed that the villagers in the house had woken up, and didn't even notice that someone had left the house. It was too outrageous.
It seems that the intensity of their usual training is not enough, which caused them to fail at the critical moment.
The team members also felt guilty: "I'm sorry, Captain, we have been watching the house and didn't see anyone come out... We will definitely practice more when we get back."
"We'll talk about this when we get back. The victims are still in the cellar, and we can't let them go down there." Seeing some villagers walking towards the pigpen, Lu Chuan's eyes narrowed, "Remember, don't hurt the villagers unless it's necessary."
The police are there to protect the people. Regardless of whether the villagers of Paner Village are wrong or not, they are all citizens.
As citizens they must be protected, and the conviction should be decided by the court, not them.
The team members responded in unison: "Yes."
Lu Chuan and others walked out of the house, intercepted the villagers going to the cellar, tried to snatch the weapons from the villagers' hands, and persuaded the villagers to lay down their weapons and not to continue to be stubborn.
But the villagers would never listen.
Several policemen in Luchuan were unwilling to point their weapons at the villagers and gradually fell into a weak position and were surrounded by the villagers.
The villagers approached little by little, and Lu Chuan had his finger on the trigger but never pressed it.
If given the chance, he still didn't want to open the wooden warehouse to the villagers.
At this time, the villagers were only five steps away from the police. If they were one step closer, Lu Chuan would have to fight back.
However, at this moment, a clear bell rang, and red silk appeared out of nowhere, wrapping around the ankles and wrists of the villagers.
The villagers' hands and feet were tied and they could no longer get close to Lu Chuan and others.
Lu Chuan and others took advantage of the time to distance themselves from the villagers. They looked behind the villagers, wanting to know who was helping them.
The sound of the bell was getting closer and closer, but Lu Chuan and others didn't see anyone coming.
The villagers were terrified, muttering, "It's Cuihong... We've already asked a Taoist priest to calm her soul, why hasn't she disappeared yet? No, if this goes on, she'll kill us..."
The village chief, who was also bound, disagreed. He scolded the villagers: "Don't talk nonsense. Cuihong was at our mercy when she was alive. How could she have any extraordinary abilities after her death? In my opinion, it was because Lin Er was sick and had insufficient yang energy when he was alive. That's why he couldn't control Cuihong after his death, so he let her come out to scare us."
The village chief tore off the red silk wrapped around his wrist and said, "If I had known she would be so troublesome, I should have poured black dog blood on her grave, planted a few willow trees, and pasted some yellow talismans to get rid of her evil spirit. When Lin Er can control her, I want to see how she can come out to scare people again."
Perhaps the village chief’s words angered Cuihong, and more and more red silk flew towards the village chief, tightly wrapping around his body, making him unable to move at all.
The sound of the bells became more and more chaotic. The villagers looked at the village chief who was wrapped like a cocoon, closed their eyes in fear, and trembled all over.
Cuihong was so terrifying that even the Taoist priests couldn't get rid of her.
They all participated in Cuihong and Lin Er's wedding. The village chief, who served as the witness, has been retaliated against by Cuihong. No one can guarantee that he or she will not be the next witness.
“Tick-tock, tick-tock—”
The raindrops fell one by one, only three or two drops at first, and in a breath, it turned into a heavy rain.
In the pouring rain, the red silk wrapped around the villagers became wet, and the bright red dye fell to the ground with the rain. After the red color faded, the silk turned white, and even the sound of the bells became desolate and mournful in people's ears.
A woman in white clothes and a white veil appeared behind the villagers in the rain.
The rain fell on her body but failed to wet her paper wedding dress. However, two lines of red marks were left under her veil.
The woman in white walked towards the villagers crying. With her slender hands, which were so pale that they looked bloodless, she easily snatched the weapons from the villagers' hands.
When Lu Chuan and others saw this scene, their hair stood on end.
Because, this woman in the paper wedding dress is floating in the air.
Combined with what the villagers just said, this woman is undoubtedly a ghost.
The white silk was originally smooth and soft, but at this moment it was harder to break free from than a hemp rope.
The woman from the Lin family was breathing hard, trembling as she called out the name of the woman in white: "Cuihong, don't come over here. You and Lin Er have entered into a ghost marriage, so you are my daughter-in-law. You can't hurt me! If you hurt me, my son will not let you go!"
Mrs. Lin didn't say anything, and Cuihong hadn't thought of looking for her yet, but when she called out to her, Cuihong's eyes fell on her instead.
Cuihong grabbed the chin of the woman from the Lin family with one hand and sneered, "Do you really think that Lin Er can subdue me after he dies? How ridiculous! He couldn't control me when he was alive. You forced me to marry him in the afterlife and found a group of fake Taoist priests to perform magic tricks. Do you think you can make me submit to Lin Er after I die? You are just dreaming!"
"Haha, that coward Lin Er scared himself to death without me having to do anything. And you still want him to continue the family line for your Lin family? What a pipe dream!" Cuihong really wanted to dig out the heart of the woman from the Lin family with one claw, but after looking at Lu Chuan and the others, she restrained herself.
Cuihong let go of the Lin family woman, turned around and floated towards Luchuan. As she moved forward, the sound of bells rang again.
Cuihong stopped in front of Luchuan and sighed: "You came too late. Too many sisters have died in this village. But fortunately, you still came. No woman will be persecuted in this village anymore."
Lu Chuan opened his mouth to say something, but it was the first time he saw a ghost, and his shattered worldview had not yet been completely rebuilt. His mind was in a mess and he didn't know what to ask.
Before he could say anything, he was filled with rain water.
He quickly spat out the rain water in his mouth, lowered his head and led his team to arrest the villagers first.
Cuihong looked at Lu Chuan's series of actions and felt that he was a bit stupid.
Are all policemen who see a ghost for the first time like this?
That's quite interesting.
"Hey, were you called here by the master? I helped you tie up these villagers. In return, you should take me away from Paner Village. I want to see the master. My grave is next to Lin Er's grave behind the village. When you take people away, remember to take me with you!" Cuihong disappeared out of thin air after she said this.
Only the white silk tied on the villagers' hands and feet proved that she had indeed been there.
Shortly after Cuihong disappeared, the sound of a baby crying was heard from the cellar.
The man in the straw raincoat came in the rain and saw the police handcuffing the villagers in the yard from afar. He lowered his straw raincoat and snorted, "You are just a piece of cargo and you want to escape. Do you really think that you can successfully escape the village when the police come?"
