Chapter 475: Village Massacre
"No! Don't touch her!"
"Stinky men, get out of here!!!"
Murong Jinran rushed forward with bloodshot eyes, trying to pull away the men who were pressing on Xiu Gu.
But there were so many people that she couldn't even see where Xiu Gu was.
Murong Jinran was so angry that tears streamed down her face. She turned back to ask Jiang Ci for help, "Master Jiang, please help Xiu Gu. She is so pitiful!"
Jiang Ci shook his head: "This is a fact of the past, I can't change it."
Others couldn't bear to watch any further and turned their heads away.
The woman's screams gradually died down.
Murong Jinran sat on the ground and cried, "What do you mean she died for love? What a bullshit love legend! She was obviously bullied to death!"
Just when everyone thought Xiu Gu had died.
After venting their anger, the men pulled up their pants, casually tidied up the unconscious Xiu Gu, and then threw her into the sedan chair.
The joyous sounds of gongs and drums echoed through the mountain road again.
The men sent Xiu Gu to Old Man Li's home as if nothing had happened.
When Old Man Li saw Xiu Gu fainted, with her clothes in disarray and scars on her body, he understood almost everything.
He didn't say anything, and on the surface he believed what everyone said that the bride was in such a state because the bridal sedan fell once due to the slippery road caused by rain.
Old man Li greeted the men in the wedding procession with a smile and brought wine bowls to entertain them.
"I, Old Man Li, would like to thank you for coming all the way to pick up my daughter-in-law. I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight!"
There was a festive atmosphere in the courtyard and everyone was drinking happily.
After all the guests had left, Old Man Li dragged his idiot son into his room, then staggered straight to the new house.
Murong Jinran was horrified: "What is he going to do?!"
Everyone was silent. Isn't it obvious...
In the bridal chamber, Xiu Gu, who had been in a coma, had woken up. Before she could take off her red veil, she was slapped hard in the face by Old Man Li and was stunned.
"Little bitch, I bought you to serve me, but you seduced the villagers before you even entered the house. Do you have any shame?"
"You bitch!"
Xiu Gu knelt on the kang, trembling all over, and begged, "Please help me call the police. I didn't seduce them. They forced me..."
"Please help me..."
"Little bitch!" Old Man Li punched her in the face again and cursed angrily: "Why don't they force others but force you? It's because you look too showy!"
"I'm telling you, your father has sold you to me. From now on, you have to serve me like a slave in this family. To the outside world, you are my daughter-in-law. When we turn off the lights and get in bed, you are my plaything!"
"From now on, you can only have me as your man. If you dare to seduce outsiders again, I will break your legs!"
Although Old Man Li is old, he was a good hunter and very strong when he was young.
Although he is old, he is still as vigorous as ever.
He pinched Xiu Gu's neck, rudely tore her bright red wedding dress, and forced himself on her regardless of her will.
Everyone stood in the yard and no one went in.
Everyone felt sorry for this woman with such a rough fate.
but……
Butler Huo suddenly thought that this woman was the evil ghost who killed the young master, and his face changed suddenly.
"There must be something hateful about pitiful people! They deserve it!"
He just cursed.
Another thunderclap.
The scene around me changed instantly.
They all returned to the outside of the shabby hut and saw Xiu Gu hanging herself in the hut in her tattered wedding dress.
Xiu Gu's neck was almost broken by the rope.
Everyone sighed.
Suddenly, Xiu Gu raised her head abruptly. Even through the red veil, everyone could feel how full of resentment the face underneath the veil was at the moment.
Butler Huo's heart skipped a beat.
Another thunderclap.
The scene around him changed again.
All the men in every household in East Village died suddenly overnight, with blood gushing out of all their orifices. Their deaths were extremely horrific.
The women were horrified, but they more or less understood why their men had died.
But they hated Xiu Gu and felt that it was Xiu Gu who destroyed their family.
"I said you can't marry a woman from outside Tiegu Mountain!"
"She hanged herself, so let her die. Why did she have to drag all the men in East Village into this, not even sparing the children?"
"What will we do without men?"
"Will Xiu-gu be so angry that she will come back to settle the score with us?"
The women found a highly respected witch in Dongcun. Following the witch's advice, they built a Ghost Wife Temple and suppressed Xiu Gu's body under the Ghost Wife Temple to prevent her from doing evil again.
Murong Jinran watched the women of East Village working together to build the Ghost Wife Temple brick by brick.
She felt it was extremely absurd, "You men killed Xiu Gu, and you even suppressed her body. Are you human?"
Although the Ghost Wife Temple suppressed Xiu Gu, her resentment was too great.
Therefore, on every rainy night, Xiu Gu's ghost would break free from its suppression and appear in the mountains and forests, killing anyone it saw.
Gradually, the population of East Village decreased, until now it has completely declined and there is no one left.
At this point, the Ghost Wife Temple became deserted.
Everyone had mixed feelings.
Another thunderclap.
The scene before their eyes changed again, and everyone returned to the Ghost Wife Temple.
Huo Shuai's body was still lying on the ground.
"Look!" someone suddenly pointed at the statue of the ghost wife and said.
The statue of the ghost wife that originally stood above the temple was gone.
"Where's the ghost wife? The ghost wife is gone!"
Butler Huo looked around and suddenly found that everyone turned their heads towards him in a strange manner, and their faces were all covered with a red veil.
"Ah!" he screamed in fear.
A red cloth flashed before his eyes, and then he could not see anything clearly.
All I heard was a cold, low laugh in my ear: "There must be something hateful about pitiful people, they deserve it."
Butler Huo's eyes widened and he felt the red cloth covering his face getting tighter and tighter.
He is suffocating!
"I'm sorry... I was wrong, please don't kill me..."
“Please…”
The red cloth suddenly loosened.
Butler Huo felt that he could finally breathe again, and he took deep breaths.
But he saw that everyone had returned to normal and was staring at him in surprise.
"Didn't you see that the ghost wife was trying to kill me just now?" Butler Huo said with a horrified look on his face, still feeling a lingering fear.
The guards shook their heads. "No, you were standing there the whole time. Suddenly you seemed to be having trouble breathing. You woke up before we could come over to check on you."
Butler Huo hurried to look at the temple and saw that the ghost wife statue was indeed gone, but...
There was a black shadow wearing a red veil on the wall.
"There she is!" Butler Huo cried in horror.
Murong Jinran said to the shadow on the wall with tears in her eyes: "Xiu Gu, I think you are right. There is not a single good person among the men, women, young or old in East Village!"
