At sunset, the sky was covered with a layer of dim afterglow, and the whole mountain village fell into a solemn atmosphere.
Bai Jingmo was taken to Wei Lao's own house by others, while Guangran and others were sent to another place to rest and bandage their wounds.
Perhaps it was because Bai Jingmo was too cooperative along the way that made Mr. Wei relax his vigilance towards him and think that this young man had completely given up struggling.
Bai Jingmo was sitting in his seat, surrounded by several people.
While Mr. Wei was preparing things, he kept an eye on Bai Jingmo. When he saw that he was sitting obediently in his seat, he frowned.
This young man...isn't he a little too calm?
He put down his things, waved his hand for others to go out first, and then walked in front of Bai Jingmo.
"Aren't you afraid?"
The man looked up at him and raised his mouth: "You want to kill me."
He said this in a declarative tone, with a hint of excitement in his voice.
Old Wei paused holding the thing in his hand and narrowed his eyes suspiciously: "You are looking forward to death."
Bai Jingmo lowered his eyes: "I'm just saying what you want to do."
"Oh? You know what I want to do?" Old Wei knocked on the table. "Is this your first time here? Who told you about our village? Yu Banxue?"
Hearing the name, Bai Jingmo moved but said nothing.
Old Wei was very curious about this man. He did have the aura of a female ghost, but his eyes were unusually clear and he was rational, not like he had lost his mind.
If Yu Banxue really told him that, did he actually believe what the female ghost said?
If he cooperated well, he might be able to use this man's soul for his own benefit.
He stroked his beard and said, "Bai Jingmo, do you believe what Yu Banxue said?"
Seeing the man silent, he continued, "You also saw that the female ghost didn't even hesitate to hurt your companions today, which shows that she is cruel. Shouldn't you help us eradicate this kind of evil ghost?"
"eradicate?"
Bai Jingmo seemed to be very interested in these two words. He chuckled and said, "Just you?"
"What do you mean by that?!"
Elder Wei felt that he was being looked down upon. He raised his eyebrows, stared with his eyes and sneered, "Look at that female ghost. How powerful is she? She has been suppressed by us for so many years. I'll tell you the truth! If you cooperate well, this female ghost will be killed soon!"
"Yeah......"
The man lowered his eyes, as if really thinking about his words.
Seeing this, Elder Wei wanted to say something else, but suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, accompanied by a man's anxious voice: "Elder Wei! It's bad! Village Chief Chen's house is on fire!!"
Old Wei's expression froze instantly, and the people brought by Chen Chang were resting at Chen Daxie's house.
He quickly asked, "Have those people come out?"
The man looked anxious: "No!! We came to find you because we couldn't open the door!!"
Damn, it must be that female ghost’s doing!
She wanted to kill these employees in advance so that her sacrifice would fail!
Old Wei gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly, glanced at Bai Jingmo viciously, and pointed at him.
"Tie him up first, then come with me to put out the fire!"
"good!"
After Mr. Wei and those people left in a hurry, the room returned to peace.
Bai Jingmo stared at the ropes around himself, sitting in the chair without moving, the shadow obscuring the look in his eyes.
Suddenly, there was another sound of footsteps at the door.
"Squeak——" The door was gently pushed open.
Bai Jingmo looked up when he heard the voice, and his eyes flashed slightly when he saw the person coming.
The man closed the door and walked up to Bai Jingmo. Seeing his miserable state, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Bai Jingmo, you are not waiting for Banxue to come to you, are you?"
Zhao Xu looked down at him, his eyes fell on the scar on his face, and sneered with disdain: "See, this is your fate now, you have been abandoned by Banxue."
Bai Jingmo raised his eyelids and stared at Zhao Xu for a long time, then he chuckled and slowly said, "Zhao Xu, in what capacity are you talking to me?"
"…What is my identity?!"
The man was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly became excited. "I am Banxue's husband, who are you? I should be the one asking you this, what is your identity? You were just favored by Banxue once! You are an outsider after all!"
I don’t know which words touched Bai Jingmo. In an instant, his originally cold face turned as cold as frost and snow.
His dark pupils stared at Zhao Xu's face, and he repeated word by word expressionlessly: "Are you her...husband?"
The expression on his face was so cold that Zhao Xu subconsciously took a step back. After he reacted, he forced a smug smile: "Yes, yes, what? You just know it now?"
"Oh."
How could this be the first time that Bai Jingmo heard this? However, no matter how many times he heard this word from the other person, he could not help but feel a little irritated and angry.
This was the first time that Bai Jingmo disliked an NPC so much.
He didn't know what he was thinking of, and suddenly laughed softly:
"So, you killed your wife yourself, not only threw her into the bottom of the lake, but also teamed up with that old man to frame her for the murder, is that right?"
Zhao Xu's face froze when he heard this, and his tone suddenly rose:
"You don't understand anything! What right do you have to blame me?!"
He rushed over and grabbed Bai Jingmo's collar, veins popping out on his neck, his eyes bloodshot, and he roared with a flushed face: "Do you think I don't want to live a good life with Banxue! I treat her so well, I give her everything she wants! I obey her in everything, but she has never looked me in the eye!"
