"Yes, is there anyone..."
When the man heard Qin Yuesheng's question, he immediately shouted, but for some reason, his voice was very weak, as if he had been on a hunger strike for several days.
"Who are you?" Qin Yuesheng asked again.
"Peng Fei... a villager from Pengqiao Village..."
"Were you imprisoned here by Village Chief Peng?"
"yes……"
Qin Yuesheng reached out, grabbed the handle, and lowered the bucket.
Then he grabbed the rope and jumped down, landing steadily at the bottom of the well.
When he got closer, Qin Yuesheng realized that this man was not just tied up with iron chains, but there were also two iron spikes inserted into his shoulders, nailing his body firmly to the wall of the well.
Such injuries would be unbearable even for an externally trained warrior. If he was not treated in time, he would basically have no chance of survival.
Qin Yuesheng looked at the two festering wounds on Peng Fei's shoulders with a very solemn expression.
The iron spike had been stuck in the opponent's shoulder for a long time, and no medicine was given to treat the wound, so the degree of suppuration and inflammation was quite serious.
Looking at Peng Fei's pale face and lifeless eyes, even though Qin Yuesheng didn't know medicine, he could feel that he wouldn't live long.
"Why did they lock you up here?" Qin Yuesheng stepped forward and used the evil-suppressing knife to cut off the iron spike on Peng Fei's back, and then cut off the iron chains on his body one by one.
"Then, those two thieves wanted to sneak into Pengqiao Village. One of them was proficient in disguise. They killed the village chief Peng and wanted to take his place. They also forced me to explain various affairs in Pengqiao Village to them so that they would not be discovered by other villagers."
"So that's how it is." Qin Yue understood.
Qin Yuesheng helped Peng Fei up from the ground. He put his fingers on his pulse and felt his breath was weak. He was afraid that he could not hold on for much longer.
"Young man, I know my situation. I'm not afraid of death, but there's something I can't let go of. Could you please ask the villagers after you get out to see if Xie Lan is still alive?"
Peng Fei was supported by Qin Yuesheng and spoke with all his strength.
"Who is this Xie Lan?"
"She's my future wife. I don't know why those two thieves came to Pengqiao Village, but I heard them talking about needing some women as sacrifices. There are no other villages within a hundred miles of Pengqiao Village, so I'm worried about Xie Lan..."
Peng Fei's voice was getting quieter as he spoke. Seeing his eyes starting to unfocus, Qin Yuesheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask for you, but I'll take you out first."
"No need, young man. This is my family's ancestral home. After I die, if you know Xie Lan is safe and sound, please ask her to come and bury my body in the backyard. If she has met with an accident, please seal this well completely and let me rest here forever."
Under Qin Yuesheng's gaze, Peng Fei looked up at the night sky above the well for the last time, and his eyes gradually fell into a dead silence.
"Thank you for your help, young man."
After that last burst of life, his life was completely extinguished like a candle in the wind.
"Oh." Qin Yuesheng slowly put Peng Fei's body on the ground, then jumped and crawled back to the ground.
Regarding Peng Fei's matter, he could only say that he felt a little regretful. If he had discovered him a day or two earlier, the outcome might have been different.
After running out of the peach blossom forest and finding the body of "Village Chief Peng", Qin Yuesheng directly dismembered him.
Destroy the body and eliminate all traces once and for all.
Fortunately this time, after the corpse of 'Village Chief Peng' was decomposed, a ball of light finally fell off.
Qin Yuesheng then crushed it and immediately gained a skill called "Disguise".
"Good stuff." Qin Yuesheng nodded with satisfaction. In the future, he would be able to improve this ability with the Almighty Essence, which would be of great help to him in future actions that require concealing his identity.
"Let's get rid of the bodies of the two zombies as well. This way, no one will know what happened tonight." Qin Yuesheng said to himself, and then sneaked into the night.
…
The next day.
As soon as Qin Yuesheng got up, he went out and found a villager to ask about Peng Fei and Xie Lan.
"Peng Fei was a martial arts fanatic, considered the best martial artist in Pengqiao Village. Unfortunately, he suddenly went crazy for some unknown reason, and no one knew where he went.
His future wife is from out of town. Some time ago, Village Chief Peng got to know the owner of a embroidery shop in Yangzhou Prefecture. He heard they were hiring female workers and embroiderers there for a salary of one or two taels of silver per month, so Xie Lan went there. Many girls from our village have also gone there, all brought there by Village Chief Peng.
The villagers carrying hoes talked boastfully to Qin Yuesheng, completely unaware of his gloomy expression.
What kind of showroom is recruiting? I'm afraid all those girls have been sent to the spider's mouth to be fed.
"Where is Village Chief Peng now? Since your village's affairs have been resolved, it's time for me to leave. I want to say hello to him before I leave."
"Village chief?" The villager scratched his head. "I don't know. I'll go look for him for you, Young Master Qin."
"Yes, thank you."
After the villagers left, Qin Yuesheng rushed to the yard located in the peach blossom forest as quickly as possible.
Looking at the dry well where Peng Fei's body was hidden.
Qin Yuesheng thought to himself, "Your wife is probably gone now. I am here to follow your wishes. May she rest in peace."
Then he smashed the edge of the well with one palm, and immediately a large amount of mud and rocks collapsed towards the roller below. Under Qin Yuesheng's destruction, this place was soon completely flattened, and there was no trace of the existence of the well.
