After crossing the path, you can see several earthen buildings.
Zheng Xiaona did not bring her disabled father and mother with her. She followed the contestants and repeatedly questioned her life: "When did the road come here? Didn't Village Chief Chen say that the two villages were not connected..."
Gu Zhisang looked around, "It's normal that you couldn't see the road here before. There are sleight of hand and formation."
It was based on the slightly chaotic magnetic field airflow and the strange black fog above Xiaoshi Village that she was able to conclude that there was something fishy going on here.
The place after passing through the formation is just the back mountain of the neighboring Xiaoyan Village, nothing special about it.
Why would someone set up an array here, and what do they want to hide?
Not far away there was a hustle and bustle, with the sound of several children screaming and playing.
"Erya, your mother is a crazy woman! My grandma told me not to play with you. Madness is hereditary and contagious."
"Beat her! Beat this lunatic!"
I saw a woman with disheveled hair, tattered clothes and dirty body sitting under a tree in the back mountain. She was bloated and fat.
She sucked her dark, muddy fingers, her face was covered with fine scars and lines, her eyes were cloudy and lifeless, and she was obviously a mentally and psychologically abnormal person.
Several boys of varying weights were laughing and hitting her head with stones and poking her body and face with sticks.
She screamed "Ahhh" in pain and waved her hands to cover her face clumsily, which only attracted more intensive beatings.
"Get away! Don't hit her!"
A teenage girl, with red eyes, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it back, but the other party was outnumbered and she ended up getting scratched on the back of her hand.
A boy who was in the voice change period said in a hoarse voice: "Is this crazy woman Erya your mother? Then are you a little crazy too? Didn't your father forbid you to get close to her and acknowledge her as your mother? You should protect her carefully, or your stepmother and Uncle Wu will find out."
His accomplice poked him and teased him, "Your mother is still sleeping in a doghouse, are you a dog's son?"
The duck voice was unhappy: "You fart, your mother is the dog."
"Why are you pretending? Everyone in the village knows about your family affairs. You are just a son of a bitch..."
Suddenly, a few children saw Gu Zhisang and others suddenly appeared at the end of the village. They immediately stopped laughing and being presumptuous. Some of them ran back home in a swarm, while one of them who was not afraid of strangers bravely came up and asked curiously:
"Are you here to collect the 'goods'? Didn't you just collect a batch yesterday?"
He couldn't help but look at the two beauties, Gu Zhisang and Daisy.
Gu Zhisang raised his eyebrows slightly: "What 'goods'?"
The boy curled his lips: "Don't pretend, I'm young but I'm not blind or stupid, I've seen it many times. You guys are just..."
"Awang!" A loud roar came from behind, scaring the boy so much that he trembled.
Gu Zhisang and others looked forward and saw several young and middle-aged men from Xiaoyan Village rushing over aggressively.
The one who scolded him was a middle-aged man, who stared at his son with wide eyes and a gloomy expression:
"Have you finished your homework yet? Why are you acting crazy? What are you talking about with others? Be careful or I'll beat you up!"
The leader of these villagers had a buzz cut and a scar on his chin. He stared at the production crew with a fake smile and said, "You are the masters who are here to film the show, right? I am Wu Feng, the head of Xiaoyan Village. We didn't know you were coming to visit us. Please excuse me for the poor hospitality."
In his heart, he cursed Chen Xiangbiao from the next village as a fool.
When I called him, I assured him that these outsiders would never find the "secret passage" and would not be able to get into the village at all. What was the result?
If they hadn't received the news and rushed over in time, they wouldn't know what Awang was about to say!
As he spoke, he glanced gloomily at the shivering little girl 'Erya' not far away. The girl shuddered, took two steps back, pursed her lips and ran away to the village.
Wu Feng turned his gaze back and said, "Excuse me, the children in the village are wild and noisy."
After a few pleasantries, Gu Zhisang pretended to be curious and asked:
"Village Chief Wu, didn't Village Chief Chen of Xiaoshi Village say that there are no roads on both sides? We were just strolling around and didn't expect to end up here."
Wu Feng: "This... this is an abandoned dirt road. The main roads outside have been repaired. Who would walk here?"
Although the program staff and contestants who followed knew that what the village chief said could not be true, Gu Zhisang looked clear and seemed to believe it and stopped asking questions.
She then glanced at the crazy woman who was sitting limply under a tree not far away and had just been beaten up by the village kids. "What's wrong with that elder sister? Where are her family members? Are they just letting her sit on the ground and get beaten up and thrown at her without caring about her?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Feng glanced at the crazy, haggard man who was still talking in delirium. His brows couldn't help but frown, with some disgust in his eyes.
He said coldly, "She is a lunatic in the village. She would go crazy and bite anyone who tried to help her. She even attacked her husband, parents-in-law, and children. Then she was kicked out of the house. Who would dare to control such a lunatic?"
"The villagers felt sorry for her and didn't drive her away. They also gave her food to eat. They couldn't do anything more than that."
"So that's how it is. He's also a poor guy."
Wu Feng extended his hand and invited them, "Why don't you go to the village and sit down..."
He took two steps forward with the program crew, and the noise they made attracted the attention of the crazy woman under the tree.
The woman raised her head, revealing a weathered and brown face beneath her tangled, dry hair. Her cloudy eyes were simply attracted by the voice.
But when she saw Xun Yiqing wearing Taoist clothes and He Mi Tu wearing a long gown commonly worn by monks in the crowd, some of the deepest and most hateful memories emerged in her mind, causing her yellow eyes, which were as stagnant as water, to slightly open.
The villagers walking behind heard bursts of "wheezing" breathing sounds, turned their heads, and saw that the crazy woman had stood up on the ground at some point.
Her wrinkled face was filled with hatred and looked ferocious, and she let out a low cry from her mouth, which scared the villager.
The next second she pounced on me like crazy, scratching and biting me!
"Oh my god! This lunatic Feng has gone mad!!"
Wu Feng's expression changed drastically, and he said in an unpleasant tone: "Quick, stop her!"
Two or three young male villagers pinned her to the ground and almost couldn't control the crazy woman who bounced up.
"This crazy bitch is so strong. Hiss... she even bit the back of my hand. Does she have any infectious germs?!" a villager complained with gritted teeth.
The crazy woman who was pinned down struggled and roared in her throat. There were a pair of eyes full of hatred on her raised face.
And the place that he saw was where Xun Yiqing and He Mi Tu were standing? !
Xun Yiqing/He Mi Tu:?
They also noticed the crazy woman's gaze. They looked at each other and moved their steps. Unexpectedly, the woman also stared at them and roared at them with resentment.
The other contestants and staff looked at him with something strange in their eyes. Xun Yiqing frowned and said, "I don't know this lady. This is the first time I've seen her. I don't know how I offended her."
He Mi Tu didn't understand and shrugged, "Me too."
Daisy looked at the screaming crazy woman with an unbearable expression, "Village Chief Wu, will it be painful for her to be pressed like this?"
One of the three villagers hit the crazy woman's back several times with his fist.
Wu Feng said, "You three, put her... put her in the village committee office to avoid hurting outside guests. I'm really sorry, everyone, this lunatic is not in a good mental state."
Seeing the three villagers carrying the still roaring crazy woman and about to leave, Gu Zhisang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke:
"Village Chief Wu, it's not a good idea to let her stay like this in the village. I see there are still many elderly people and children in the village. What if she gets hurt?"
Gu Zhisang suggested with a smile: "There is a Master Baici in our program group who is very good at treating illnesses. Netizens call him the modern 'Bian Que'. Maybe he can help this poor sister. Why don't we go to the village committee and ask her to take a look."
"How can I trouble you?" Wu Feng was stunned. He didn't expect Gu Zhisang to make such a suggestion. He quickly rejected it and then explained:
"The main thing is that we have asked someone to see her before and took her to a big hospital, but they said that she can't be cured. Don't waste your energy..."
"It's okay. A doctor with a kind heart would never stand by and watch someone die, right, Master Bai Ci?" Gu Zhisang looked at Bai Ci.
Bai Ci, who was called upon, stammered, "Ah? Yes, yes, I can help her... take a look."
The remaining contestants all had strange expressions on their faces, thinking, isn't this Gu Zhisang always very enthusiastic about catching ghosts, but has no interest in other things and just wants to get off work? When did she become so heartless?
Wu Feng was stared at by those smiling phoenix eyes. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Then I'll trouble you masters!"
The group walked towards the village committee.
The three villagers in front were dragging the crazy woman who was still struggling and trying to attack. Gu Zhisang was strolling leisurely with his hands behind his back, admiring the scenery of Xiaoyan Village.
Wu Feng, who fell behind, was doubtful and worried.
Why did these people suddenly start to take care of a crazy woman? Were they really being kind-hearted, or did they discover something?
But this is impossible. This woman has been crazy for many years. The past has long been forgotten. Even the villagers have gradually stopped talking about her and those things. She is completely different from before.
How could these outsiders know who this madman is and what his relationship is to them?
When walking towards the village, some villagers who were enjoying the cool in front of their houses or playing cards under the trees saw this strange combination, and they leaned their heads to look at it in wonder as if they had discovered a new continent.
Wu Feng scolded, "What are you looking at? The meal is ready and the work is done at home."
He seemed to be very prestigious in the village. After being yelled at twice, many villagers who were watching the fun retracted their heads.
Only an old man in a dirty coat and holding a half-burning cigarette butt came over. He was dark, thin and short. As soon as he came close, he looked around the three female contestants with lustful eyes, which was disgusting.
Gu Zhisang narrowed his eyes slightly, and Xi Haihong and Daisy could also sense the meanness of the old man's gaze, and they all frowned and glared.
The old man grinned, revealing a mouthful of black and yellow teeth that looked very vulgar, and winked at Wu Feng and said:
"Wu Feng, you are so lucky. Where did you find so many beauties?"
When Wu Feng saw the notorious rogues in the village, he thought something bad was going to happen. He said angrily, "Fourth Uncle, stop talking nonsense and ruin the reputation of our village! These guys are reporters from the TV station!"
He deliberately raised his tone to remind the old man not to make mistakes and say anything he shouldn't.
The wretched old man got the meaning of his words, but he didn't say anything he shouldn't. However, his stubborn nature came out and he didn't stop talking. Instead, he curled his lips in disdain:
"What's wrong with a TV reporter? She's also a woman. She has to marry a man and listen to her husband's family! Young girls nowadays have all learned bad things. They are more vain and materialistic than the other. They abandon their hometowns where they were born and raised, despise the poverty in the mountains, and go to big cities to become mistresses and marry rich men..."
Wu Feng's blood rushed to his face when he heard this. He wanted to go up and block the old man's mouth, but the old man was very sharp-tongued and didn't give him a chance to interrupt:
"If you ask me, these women deserve to be punished. They leave us honest men alone and lock us up at home..."
Before he could finish his words, two villagers took him away at Wu Feng's signal. "Fourth uncle, you are getting old and confused, right? What are you talking about?"
After forcibly taking him away, Wu Feng was exhausted and explained:
"Don't get me wrong, people in our Xiaoyan Village definitely don't have such thoughts. This old fourth uncle is a bachelor in the village. He is over 50 years old and his wife ran away with someone else. He is a bit cynical, but other villagers are very friendly."
Gu Zhisang said in a good-tempered manner: "It's okay, Village Chief Wu, we understand."
After the old scoundrel's disturbance, Wu Feng did not dare to delay any longer, for fear that he would run into some ignorant and nonsense thugs in the village on the way and leak some information. So he brought the man to the village committee without delay.
When he got there, Gu Zhisang looked normal:
"Village Chief Wu is very busy, don't worry about us. Our medical master will do everything he can to cure this elder sister."
Since she said so, Wu Feng couldn't just stay there.
He winked at a few villagers and said, "Then I'm sorry to bother you, Masters. I'm afraid this crazy woman might hurt you if she gets angry. I'll leave two villagers to watch her."
Gu Zhisang ignored this and pretended not to hear it, "Let her go."
The two villagers who had pinned the mad woman down on the stool hesitated and said, "If we let go, she'll bite people like a mad dog!"
"release."
Gu Zhisang's tone was not harsh, but the aura around him made the two villagers feel nervous. They muttered for a long time, "You ordered the release of the bomb. Don't blame me if I get hurt!"
As soon as the two men took their hands away, the crazy woman, who was no longer restrained, immediately jumped up and rushed towards Xun Yiqing and He Mi Tu.
Gu Zhisang put his backhand on her shoulder and pushed it down, and her buttocks, which had just been raised, were pressed back onto the bench.
No matter how frantically she struggled, making the bench creak and her face turn red and brown, she couldn't move an inch. She could only stare at Gu Zhisang with resentment with her cloudy eyes.
When he lowered his eyes slightly, Gu Zhisang pressed his palms tightly against the crazy woman's shoulders and released his strength.
Almost at the moment when it touched the woman's shoulder, a powerful evil force rushed straight into her palm!
This feeling has happened several times before.
Gu Zhisang was certain that the "black fog" on this woman was very heavy, completely covering her features and aura.
When her power penetrated into the crazy woman's body, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, not making any splash. Instead, she was hit directly on the palms and face by a powerful recoil force.
This sticky, evil-filled power was extremely powerful. Even though her body was at the high level of Xuan, close to the Earth level, and still had a soul power protecting it;
But in a place that no one could see - that is, the palm of Gu Zhisang's hand where his shoulder touched the crazy woman's, a layer of skin was directly corroded by this sinister force!
A sharp pain came from the palm of her hand, and Gu Zhisang knew that her palm must be burnt.
There was no sign of pain on her face, and she even curled up the corners of her lips, but her eyes were cold.
It turns out that this 'black fog' is really targeting her!
The evil power hidden in the crazy woman's body comes from the same source as the power that suppresses her body's improvement in Taoism.
The burning pain in the palm of her hand continued, and Gu Zhisang could feel that the sinister energy was still madly drilling into her body and veins.
But her soul was extremely powerful, and she had a layer of soul power protecting her body, which blocked the black energy outside her body. She only suffered some minor skin injuries.
What frightened her even more was that, in addition to the thick "black fog" that obscured the secrets of heaven, this crazy woman also carried a force of cause and effect that could not be ignored.
This is the real reason why Gu Zhisang hesitated.
The power of cause and effect just happened to prove that her guess was correct:
This crazy woman is the key breakthrough point linking the two villages and even the entire southern province mountainous area incident!
Even though the "black fog" obscured the entire Southern Province and made Gu Zhisang unable to move like a "blind man", she still found the nodes from the clues.
As long as this 'node' is revealed, all mysteries will be solved.
However, because the events behind this crazy woman implicate the entire Southern Province and the fate of countless people in the mortal world, the consequences of uncovering the truth will inevitably change the fate of many people;
That is why she has such a powerful causal force.
It was precisely because he realized this that Gu Zhisang hesitated.
In her previous life, she did not participate in worldly affairs or care about anything. Firstly, she was not interested in them, and secondly, she did not want the cause and effect of worldly affairs to affect her spiritual practice.
Gu Zhisang of Xuanmen is the lofty and untainted leader of the sect, and the first disciple of the human immortal Junhong.
Is she really going to take action to change the world and people's destiny this time?
In the three or two seconds of holding her breath, Gu Zhisang thought a lot. The staff and two villagers behind her were only amazed at her thin and boneless arms, which had such powerful strength that they could easily suppress a mad man.
But other contestants with spiritual perception could sense the faint and mysterious aura around her.
After a moment, Gu Zhisang let out a long breath, her eyes were dark and her expression was a little complicated. She seemed to have changed a little, but nothing had changed.
With a flick of her finger, a simple small formation rose up under her feet. She turned her head and looked at the people behind her:
"I need you to do me a favor."
Several people stood up straight with serious expressions. Xun Yiqing said firmly: "What did you find?"
Gu Zhisang's eyes were indifferent as he said, "I've said that there is no 'result' without 'cause' in the world, and there is no love or hate without reason. Whether it is based on hatred, jealousy or anything else, there must be a basis. And this woman's hatred came too suddenly and too strangely."
"In fact, there is no need to tell fortunes. Just by looking at her current destitute and insane fate, we can know that she must have suffered in the past, and it is very likely that it was inflicted on her by this village. But her mind has completely collapsed. Even if she sees the people in the village being beaten, scolded and humiliated, she is stupid and indifferent.
Isn't it strange that such a 'madman' would feel so much hatred towards you and He Mi Tu, two strangers, and even want to eat you alive?"
He Mi Tu frowned: "It's indeed strange, but what can this prove?"
Gu Zhisang glanced at him and said, "The only thing you and Xun Yiqing have in common, and the only thing that makes you different from everyone else, is that you both dress strangely, and you look like outsiders."
The two looked at each other. One was wearing Taoist clothes and the other was wearing a long gown and jacket, while the other contestants were wearing ordinary clothes.
Is it true?
"So..." Xi Haihong suddenly realized, "So this woman doesn't hate them, but hates people who wear this kind of clothes? Did the mysterious master from outside Fang make her go crazy?!"
Xun Yiqing said: "It is a bit far-fetched to use this alone as evidence. Even if it is so, how does it connect with the case we are investigating?"
Gu Zhisang shook his head gently and looked at Bai Ci: "Can you calm her down? Her thoughts are too confused, her mind is just a mess."
Of course, she did not base her decision on this, but rather on the heavy causal force within the mad woman.
But she couldn't explain this, because other people couldn't feel it, and wouldn't believe that a mere mystic master like her could have such ability.
Bai Ci said: "I can try, but there is no guarantee that I will succeed. Mental problems are difficult to resolve."
While they were communicating, the staff and Zheng Xiaona next to them looked confused, because due to Gu Zhisang's shielding, they could only see the contestants' mouths moving but could not hear any sound.
Zheng Xiaona: "Are you talking?"
The two villagers looked at each other and became a little nervous, not knowing what these people were doing.
Bai Ci stepped forward, gently placed his fingertips on both ends of the crazy woman's vagina, and used his ability to dredge it.
At first the woman struggled violently, but gradually, as Bai Ci's guidance took effect, she relaxed and calmed down. However, she was still dazed and unable to react.
Gu Zhisang was not disappointed either.
The reason why she needs help from others is that she needs to get some clues to solve the mystery.
But the 'black mist' on the woman was too thick. As soon as she touched the crazy woman, these forces attacked her frantically.
After the crazy woman calmed down, Daisy walked forward and gently held her rough and cracked hand, closed her eyes and tried to recall the past.
Gu Zhisang: "How is it? Did you see anything?"
Daisy frowned, "...Her thoughts are so twisted, everything is twisted into a mess, and all I feel from this woman is pain, despair, and deep resentment. I can feel that there is a very deep memory in her mind that she has hidden away, and it must be very important to her, but there is a very strange force preventing me from exploring it, like... like a pair of eyes from a higher dimension staring at me in the abyss."
When she said this, beads of sweat had already appeared on her cheeks and her expression was somewhat painful.
Two villagers couldn't sit still anymore, so they stood up and came over. "Dear guests, what are you doing?"
The remaining three people, He Mi Tu, narrowed their eyes and blocked the two people without making a sound, "They are being treated and cannot be disturbed."
Daisy, holding the crazy woman's hand, gritted her teeth and forced herself to touch that area.
The scene I saw at that moment was extremely shocking: "Blood... a pool of scarlet blood. Several people dressed in clothes very similar to Xun Yiqing were in a small room, both men and women, and it seemed that they were holding some kind of ceremony. She was chained, and then... then those people were very respectfully worshipping one statue after another."
Gu Zhisang's eyes were burning. "What kind of idol? What does it look like?"
Daisy's teeth trembled slightly, she couldn't describe it. The crazy woman who shared her feelings also saw the resentment deep in her memory at this moment. Her originally calm face began to suffer and struggle.
"Yes, it is one..."
As she was talking, a stream of blood suddenly flowed out from under Daisy's nose. Seeing this, Gu Zhisang grabbed her shoulders fiercely and poured out his soul power to block an extremely evil and tricky attack for her.
It was at this moment that she 'saw' what Daisy 'saw'.
It was a statue of a god with arms of different lengths, a bronze body and colorful clothes. Its head was carved into many faces, and each face had a small, completely different face.
Some look sad, some are angry, some are excited, some are vicious... vivid and lifelike.
The moment Gu Zhisang saw it, it disappeared.
Daisy suddenly let go, took two steps back, and wiped the blood from her nose with her hand. The contestants next to her looked serious when they saw this, "Are you okay?"
She shook her head and looked at Gu Zhisang, "I'm fine, but Sangsang..."
At the last moment, she could feel that it was Gu Zhisang who helped her block something.
"I'm fine too."
Gu Zhisang, whose face turned slightly pale, opened his eyes and finally smiled sincerely for the first time today, "I got it."
The moment she saw the statue, all the obstacles that blocked her way and covered her eyes were shattered.
The black mist on the crazy woman's face gradually dissipated, revealing an extremely clear fate line, waiting for people to interpret her past life.
Gu Zhisang said sincerely: "Thank you for today."
Bai Ci and Daisy both waved their hands and said, "We didn't do anything..."
Several contestants were stunned.
I don’t know if it’s their illusion, but the always mysterious Gu Zhisang seems to be less cold and indifferent?
Without the obstruction of the 'black fog', the causal force on the crazy woman became even more terrifyingly strong.
Feeling this power, Gu Zhisang paused for a moment and began to interpret her face.
Once you get involved in some things, they are bound to be affected by cause and effect.
But we have to do it.
——
The two villagers were still a little confused when they took the crazy woman who had calmed down out of the village committee.
They called the village chief Wu Feng and said, "Brother, we brought her out."
Wu Feng: "Where are those people? Did they find anything?"
"I didn't find anything. She was still dazed after all the pretense, but she wasn't crazy anymore. I stared at her and she couldn't even finish a sentence. I saw that those masters were quite disappointed and probably impatient. They said they would just eat something and leave, so I found a private room for them and ordered food."
Wu Feng on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, damn it, finish eating and get out of here."
The villager curled his lips and said, "I don't think these people are that powerful, and they don't seem to be filming a live show. Why should we be afraid of them? We can just smash the camera and arrest them. With the protection of the big boss above, the police outside can't find anything about us."
Wu Feng frowned and said, "Don't be stupid. These people are from a big show after all. If something happens to us, it will definitely cause trouble. Just let them leave the same way they came."
"Okay, okay..."
At this moment, another villager rushed over and said, "Brother, those people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air! I was squatting in the store, and I was a little suspicious when I heard no movement in the private room. As a result, when I opened the door, they were gone!"
Wu Feng/Villager:?!
The evening in Xiaoyan Village is orange.
The fiery clouds in the sky were like a red sea, carrying with them an aura of oppression and murderousness.
The villagers were preparing dinner, and for a moment the village roads were silent.
A skinny boy was sitting in the yard playing his cell phone, with a funny video playing outside. It was the same video with the hoarse voice that mocked Arya among the crazy women who were smashing things this afternoon.
A girl who was older than him was cooking in the kitchen. He shouted impatiently, "Sister, can you hurry up? I'm starving!"
The toothless old lady in the room pursed her lips when she heard the voice and said, "You little bitch, are you going to starve your brother to death?"
After finally preparing the meal, the girl was already sweating profusely from the heat. After the dishes were arranged, the old lady and the boy sat down at the table with a swagger.
"Go into the house and call your father to eat. Why are you holding a bowl?" the old lady yelled.
The girl said timidly: "Give her some dinner..."
The old lady said nonchalantly, "We have some leftover steamed buns from yesterday. It would be a waste of food to give fresh vegetables to such an ungrateful bastard. Go get her some steamed buns."
The girl remained silent and did not refute. She left quietly.
At this moment, the door of the house was kicked open from the outside, and the loud bang scared the people in the yard.
The old lady jumped up and said, "Who are you? Bandits?!"
The duck-voiced man widened his eyes and recognized these people as the ones who appeared on the path at the end of the village in the afternoon.
Because that road was only for people who came to pick up "goods", the children thought they were "partners" in the village. It was not until they returned home that they heard that these people were reporters from other provinces filming a program.
"you……"
The person who kicked the door open was the most eye-catching woman in the group. Her eyes were clear and cold, and are still fresh in people's memory.
"Sangsang, this is not a good way to do it. We have no evidence..." Da Liu lowered his voice and tried to dissuade them frantically.
He didn't know what Gu Zhisang had said to the other contestants, but they came over here aggressively and now they are kicking the door and breaking into a private house!
Gu Zhisang sneered, "It's okay, Brother Liu, this matter has nothing to do with you."
She is neither a member of the spiritual group nor a member of the Xuanmen group. She is not bound by any restrictions and has no scruples.
Since you have decided to intervene, don't waste time arguing with these people or go straight to the point.
She walked straight into the yard and was about to go to the closed living room. Seeing this, the old lady wanted to stop her, but was frightened by her sidelong glance.
When the door was opened, everyone was stunned by the scene behind it.
There was a messy area in the innermost corner of the living room. A thin mattress and blanket were spread on the floor. A dishevelled, dazed woman was sitting on the mattress. A chain was tied around her neck, which was so thin that it seemed like it would break if bent.
The other end of the chain was fused to the wall.
There was a basin in front of her, with three or two dry, cold steamed buns and a bowl of dirty water in it. When she heard the noise and saw people, her numb brain could not react.
A frightened girl was sticking to the corner, looking at Gu Zhisang with horror on her face.
Seeing this, all the contestants' eyes turned cold, and Daisy and Xi Haihong gnashed their teeth:
"brute!"
The man who heard the noise hurried out from the inner room. Seeing this scene, he realized that the matter was exposed. With a ruthless look on his face, he picked up the shovel in the corner and was about to smash it on Gu Zhisang's head.
Gu Zhisang didn't even bother to look at him. After blocking his attack, he raised his foot and kicked him in the chest, directly kicking the fat man three or four meters away and throwing him heavily to the ground.
The old lady cried "Damn it" and threw herself on her son crying.
Gu Zhisang walked to the corner and squatted down, looking directly into the numb woman's eyes, "Do you want to come with me?"
She stepped on the shovel next to her and broke it. The clanging sound shocked the howling and cursing mother and son, made them look terrified, and also gradually brought the woman back to her senses.
The woman looked at Gu Zhisang's hand on the chain, her eyes moving slightly.
She was too thin and her mental state was too bad. Even she had forgotten how long she had been locked up in this world like an animal. It was so long that she had long forgotten that she was still a human being.
Her lips pursed slightly, expressing excitement, hesitation and timidity.
She had run before, but failed, and this was the result.
Can she really take this step forward this time? Is there still hope and possibility in her life?
Just as the woman uttered a few monotonous words and tried to speak, the man who was supported by the old lady stared at her fiercely:
"Yuehua, think it through. Don't make our family affairs so embarrassing that outsiders will laugh at you. Last time you acted stupidly, I said I forgave you, and you also promised me that there wouldn't be a next time!"
The woman named Yuehua trembled and a look of fear appeared on her face.
The man's voice softened a bit, "Our children are still so young, they still have to study, go to school and work in the future. If the family affair gets out, how will they live? Don't you think about the children?"
"I know I was very angry before, but for the sake of the children, please don't bear a grudge against us..."
Xi Haihong could no longer bear it: "Shut the fuck up! You are worse than pigs and dogs. You actually, actually killed your own wife!"
Daisy also got angry and took out a voodoo doll from her bag.
The old lady looked at the aggressive Xi Haihong and pretended to be calm as she howled, "Yuehua, there is no mother in the world who would harm her child! Big brother, second brother, persuade your mother and tell her that you don't want her to leave! Second brother, second brother, tell your mother what you want to do when you grow up!"
The duck-voiced man was pushed by his grandmother's legs, and he cried tremblingly, "I, I want to go to college in a big city and take the exam to become a cadre...Mom, mom, don't go, you can't leave us!"
The old lady glared at the girl in the inner room again, "Boss, say something!"
The girl, who was already thirteen or fourteen years old, actually understood a lot of things. When she saw her mother, the haggard woman who had been tied to the corner for years, turned her head and stared at her, she felt a mixture of emotions.
Finally, she burst into tears, "Mom, don't go with them. Dad and grandma know they are wrong. They won't do this to you again! My brother and I will also..."
The only light in the woman's eyes went out, and great pain enveloped her like a tide.
She wanted to break free from the prison of hell, and there was an opportunity right in front of her that was within her reach, but she hesitated when she was about to reach out her hand.
The long-term torture flattened the bloodiness and courage in her bones, making her cowardly, numb and submissive. Although she was very disappointed with her children, they... they were innocent after all.
Especially my daughter, who would often sneak out in the middle of the night and give her some snacks and an extra blanket.
The woman knew that once she followed Gu Zhisang, this family and even this village would be finished.
As she hesitated, she didn't notice that Gu Zhisang's eyes were becoming increasingly cold, with a hint of disappointment in them.
"Have you thought about it? Even if these people are so selfish, vicious, and do all kinds of evil and harm innocent people, you still don't want to leave?"
When she asked this question, her originally clear consciousness became a little blurry.
A shadowy voice appeared in my mind, asking questions:
"Is it worth it? You are a child of destiny, a genius in metaphysics, and you are going to become a god in the future. Why do you care about the lives of these mortal ants?"
'Look at this kind of people, weak and spineless, even if you have broken the sky here and seemingly rescued many people, they are already such trash and have become one with this village. You are the bad guy who destroyed their lives and harmed their families. Not only will they not be grateful to you, they may even resent you for meddling in their affairs and pleading for their families.
You will regret it if you are contaminated by them!'
'You are a high and mighty God, a God who never bows his head, nor does he look at the sufferings of the world. Do not be pulled down from the altar and tainted by the worldly atmosphere.'
'Look at these poor children, they are the ones who really need you to save them. They are not involved in these cases, and there are more relatives of participants who are unaware. You destroyed this village and sent them to prison. Then these innocent descendants will become relatives of criminals. They will lose their decent jobs and their originally happy families.
Do you want to interfere with the lives of so many people?
"…"
Gu Zhisang's gaze was distracted for a moment, but soon broke through the dusk and returned to clarity.
She glanced at the burnt wound on her palm, clenched her fist tightly, squeezing away the last wisp of gray mist, and sneered:
"You little rat, you hide your head and show your tail!"
The 'black mist' actually attached itself to her wound, taking the opportunity to attack her spiritual platform, trying to use these words to make her question her decision.
As long as she had the slightest doubt about her decision, this extremely faint force would seize the opportunity and penetrate into her body.
But Gu Zhisang's resolute character was not affected at all.
Gu Zhisang never felt that he was saving the world, nor did he think of interfering in anyone's life. He was even more unwilling to be involved in cause and effect and do thankless work.
She just felt that people were not born to be trafficked, bullied, or forced to lose their families...
Everything she does now is in line with her Tao and her original intention. She is just setting things right.
There are some things that everyone knows are dangerous and not beneficial to oneself.
But someone has to do it.
The man's voice was still shouting in the yard, saying that this was their family affair, and was kicked out by He Mi Tu again.
At this time, Wu Feng, who was notified by the neighbors who heard the noise, rushed over with a group of aggressive strong men from the village.
He glanced around with a sneer and cruel look on his face:
"What do you mean? We in Xiaoyan Village treated you as honored guests, but you want to mess up the family affairs of our villagers and harm the future and lives of our villagers!
In this case, don't blame us for being rude, just stay and be our guest."
Just as a group of strong men, rubbing their hands and eyeing each other eagerly, were about to pounce, the sound of whistles rang out from outside the village, echoing throughout the evening.
The villagers who had just looked ferocious were in a state of panic. "Is it the police? They called the police!!"
"The Southern Provincial Police Department is investigating this case. Put down your weapons and cooperate with the investigation!"
——
When the woman was unchained and helped up by the police officers who arrived, she subconsciously tried to find Gu Zhisang's location.
She still wanted to thank Gu Zhisang, but found that the girl had already walked out of the house.
Gu Zhisang, with a sense of cause and effect, stood in the yard and looked up at the sky.
The setting sun was scorching, and its afterglow shone on her cheeks and neck.
When the noise gradually faded, Gu Zhisang opened his eyes and walked out of the courtyard.
Next she would go to the Southern Province Police Station and tell the police about the clues she had now, some of the things she had seen from the crazy woman, and the people behind some of the metaphysical people, to help them trace the source faster and in more detail, and crack down on the criminal group that had been entrenched in Southern Province for many years.
Even when she got into the police car, Zheng Xiaona was still confused. She didn't know how things had developed to this point, why so many people from the two villages had been arrested, and why the Nan Province police wanted to block off this place.
As soon as she got on the bus, she kept asking questions to the contestants.
Xi Haihong coughed lightly and said, "You'll know when you get there. It's hard to explain in a few words. Anyway..."
She paused, "Oh, I don't know how to tell you!"
Zheng Xiaona:?
"What's wrong? What does it have to do with me?"
Gu Zhisang opened his eyes and said calmly, "Ms. Zheng, I have to tell you a piece of news first. It's neither good nor bad."
Zheng Xiaona had a bad feeling when she heard this.
Gu Zhisang said: "Your sister Zheng Xiaoyan has been found, but..."
"She's crazy too."
Zheng Xiaona was struck by lightning, and her whole body froze. "What did you say?"
A foolish, dishevelled figure appeared in her mind, but she was unwilling, or dared not, to believe it.
Gu Zhisang: "You have just met her. She has actually been in Xiaoyan Village the whole time. The villagers who knew about it have been deceiving you."
Zheng Xiaona completely collapsed.
She thought about how she had come to this place time and time again over the years, and how she had searched the nearby villages with her parents.
Once or twice when they came to Xiaoyan Village, they saw the crazy woman from afar.
At that time, she was not so fat and did not look so miserable. Zheng Xiaona and her parents thought that such a woman with dementia would have a miserable life in the future, so they just sighed and passed by her.
Zheng Xiaona and the old couple of the Zheng family never thought that the younger sister and little daughter they had been looking for all their lives were actually right under their noses.
"No, it's not like that... Why would those people do this to our family?!" Zheng Xiaona collapsed and burst into tears, unable to bear the grief.
The police officer driving the car listened to the heart-wrenching cries and roughly guessed what had happened.
He sighed:
These hateful human traffickers have destroyed countless families!
The author has something to say:
First catch the person and settle the matter, and then deal with the rest in the next chapter.
This case is a very important case. Apart from everything else, it is the turning point when Sangsang really starts to have 'human' nature from 'divine' nature. I don't know if my poor writing skills can express it well u woowoouu
Just like drug enforcement, blasting, firefighting, etc., there are always people who will do some things, and they are worthy of respect. I hope that my heroine has such qualities in her morality, so please don't think that she is a saint (whispering). If there is a problem, it must be that I, the mother, did not write it well.
