The letter stated that it was the bride who poisoned herself and killed his son.

It is said that one's body and hair are decided by one's parents, so naturally one's marriage should also be arranged by one's parents. However, the happy event turned into a sad one, so one had no choice but to exorcise the ghosts and restore peace to the family.

They have been trying to find a way to get rid of the bride's grievances, but have tried many methods to no avail. This time they came here to try their luck and see if she has any lingering obsessions here.

It turned out that she was arranged to marry someone in the afterlife, so she had such a big grudge! They had always thought that she was dissatisfied with the marriage, so she was making a fuss every day and was unwilling to go to the underworld.

Yan Weiwan said absentmindedly: "Can you help us find the location of the bride's home? There are some things we still need to understand."

"Sure, Jin will take you there later."

The village chief agreed readily, and Bai Yunshu and the others got up and planned to go out to see the situation.

Probably because of what happened in the past few days, the village was dead silent. Only a few old men would occasionally sit together by the roadside playing chess and chatting, a few children would chase each other and laugh and play at the door, and only men could be seen by the fields.

Qi Ningzhu naturally noticed something was wrong, so she walked in front of Yan Weiwan and spoke to her in a low voice.

"Why are there so many women in this village? But there are a lot of children, one or two at the door of every house, which feels very strange."

Yan Weiwan thought for a moment and looked at Ajin, who was leading the way with his head lowered.

"Ah Jin, do all the women in your village never show their faces?"

Ah Jin paused and spoke in a low voice.

"Yes."

"Why?"

Yan Weiwan is puzzled

Ah Jin spoke honestly.

"Because they are not obedient, they will be locked up, so they don't show up. Being able to walk around is...very...very...very..."

Qi Ningzhu and Yan Weiwan's faces changed, while Bai Yunshu and Nan Lezhi beside them did not say a word.

The two masters realized something was wrong the moment they entered the village, but they kept wondering when their disciples would discover it.

When passing by other villagers' windows on the road, you can see a pair of timid, frightened, yet yearning eyes behind some of the windows.

So this journey has been heavy.

Seeing that it was still early, Nan Lezhi and Bai Yunshu planned to explore together to see if there were any other clues and whether the two things were related.

Seeing the two little disciples walking ahead and taking charge, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

In the dead silence, several people found the first victim of ghosts.

When I stepped into the yard, there was only an old woman in the house, fumbling with spinning thread. Next to her was a tattered cradle with a skinny child lying inside.

Seeing the person coming outside, the old woman stood up tremblingly with a gentle smile on her face.

"Ah Jin? Who are you bringing here? I can't see clearly."

"Granny, please bring a few fairies here to explain the previous ghost story."

Hearing that she was going to explain the ghost story, the wife suddenly became very excited and stepped forward to hold Qi Ningzhu's hand.

"Okay, okay, tell me whatever you want to know! Fairy, you must subdue those ghosts. My son was killed by them! Cough cough cough..."

After she finished speaking, she started coughing. Qi Ningzhu quickly patted her on the back, signaling her not to be so excited.

"You will see, mother-in-law, is this child your grandson? Why does he look so weak? Where is your daughter-in-law? Can you ask her about the situation?"

Qi Ningzhu went straight to the point, and the smile on the mother-in-law's face froze noticeably.

"It's my grandson, but his mother doesn't want to feed him milk, so he looks skinny. It's okay. I will feed him goat's milk and raise him."

Hearing about her daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law said a little restrainedly: "Daughter-in-law? What can that lunatic know? You can ask her, she is in the room on the bed, right inside, you can go in, but she might scare you, but she has been tied up, you should be careful..."

The old woman said it reluctantly, but Yan Weiwan still felt uncomfortable with the word "tie".

When we say it this way, it doesn't feel like we are talking about a person, but rather an animal or an object, which is actually not a person.

Qi Ningzhu and Yan Weiwan looked at each other and walked in first. A second later, a woman's scream was heard from inside.

The two retreated instantly, their faces full of panic.

What was that thing I just saw?

The whole body stinks, the hair is disheveled, the claws are waving, and it is three times scarier than a ghost. Who is it? Is it this old woman's daughter-in-law?

When Yan Weiwan wanted to say something, the old woman next to her had already rushed in skillfully with a stick in hand.

"I told you not to listen! If you scream again, I'll beat you to death!"

“Ahhhhhh!”

Hearing the sound, Qi Ningzhu bit her tongue and went in again, and Yan Weiwan hurried to follow.

The old woman pointed at the woman on the bed with a firewood stick as thick as her arm. When the woman on the bed saw the stick, she held her head and trembled.

Qi Ningzhu stepped forward, intercepted the stick in her hand and took it away, then looked at the chains on the girl's body.

There is one on my neck, one on my wrist, and one on my ankle...

Qi Ningzhu couldn't help but speak.

"Why did you treat her like that?"

When the old woman heard Qi Ningzhu being treated coldly in her tone, she explained with a smile.

"I'm so embarrassed, you immortal. We bought her with our own money. She always wants to leave, but she is your son's wife and you won't let her go. The child also needs a mother, so we can only tie her up and give her a bite to eat."

"It's okay, it's okay. I've been here before. She'll be obedient in the future. When the child grows up, she won't want to leave! She's just a little bit undisciplined now."

Qi Ningzhu looked at the woman, then at the old woman, and said angrily, "You! You are a woman like her, why do you have to be like this?"

The old woman heard this but said nothing.

Why do this? Because if you don't do this, you won't survive.

Anyway, she can't escape no matter what... So let her learn to compromise now, after all, there is a child here.

Ah Jin, who came in from behind, spoke indifferently.

"My mother was also imprisoned like this before. It's very common. It's very common in here."

In his view, these were very common things. After all, his father had taught him since he was a child that girls were like animals and should not be allowed to run away.

Qi Ningzhu took a deep breath.

"Normal? What's normal? They are women, not animals! So? What happened to your mother?"

Ah Jin heard her ask that and blinked and said, "Die. She's crazy, she deserves it, she always beats me, saying I'm a bastard, she ran halfway up the mountain, stepped on empty air, and fell to her death."

On the day he died, he didn't cry, he just wondered, why did he run away? Why didn't he listen? Why didn't he live a peaceful life like the family next door?

He looked indifferent and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
