Chapter 198: Yuanlian's Different Path and Deep Obsession
Several men were sitting in the middle of the main room drinking. The wine jars on the table were tilted all over the place, and the words they spoke were naturally incoherent.
They all had smiles on their faces, but because they were drunk, their dark faces were drunken, looking wretched and disgusting.
Yan Weiwan observed that there seemed to be no hostess in this family's house. Qi Ningzhu frowned when she stepped in and was unwilling to talk much.
Ajin walked forward carefully and spoke to the uncles.
"These are the immortals that the Ji family sent to ask for help. The bride has been pestering the Ji family and is unwilling to leave. They want to see if she has any obsessions here, so my grandfather asked me to bring them to you."
Because of the relationship of ghost marriage, this family is now considered half-relative to the Ji family, and the Ji family has been sending things to their family during this period.
When the men heard that they came for this matter, they began to sneer, revealing their yellow-stained teeth.
"So it was the Ji family who asked you to come. Please take a seat! Please take a seat."
They brought stools, but Bai Yunshu and the others didn't sit down, they just stood there.
"No need, I have something to ask you."
Nan Lezhi walked forward and stood in front of several people with cold eyes, full of oppression.
"Who is the bride, A-Lian, to you?"
The moment she opened her mouth, the men were sobered up.
One of the men smiled and began to tell his story.
"That little girl, A-Lian, had a miserable life, but now that she's dead, she can be considered blessed. After all, the Ji family will surely burn a lot of paper money for her."
Yan Weiwan rolled his eyes at him, weighing the sword in his hand, silently threatening him.
"What's the point of having paper money when someone's dead? Stop talking nonsense and get to the point!"
She was extremely upset now. Seeing Yan Weiwan's fierce look, the man sneered.
"Eight years ago, when A-Lian was still a little girl, we bought her from human traffickers and used her as a maid, doing some housework around the house. We spent three taels of silver on her. She was originally intended to be my son's child bride, but a few days ago, she missed a step while chopping firewood in the mountains and fell to her death."
He spoke honestly, without any regret.
After all, it was a dead person, and he was sold for thirty taels of silver.
Yan Weiwan and the others turned their attention to the bloated boy who was sleeping soundly next to him.
"Is he your son? Or are they all your sons?"
The uncle nodded and spoke with considerable pride.
"Yes, he is my little treasure. The others are my big, second, and third treasures. Their mother passed away a few years ago."
Yan Weiwan and Qi Ningzhu looked at each other and the corners of their mouths twitched.
It seems that the house is bare but there are four children. Their faces are all carved from the same mold, lazy and skinny... It seems that the man is quite proud.
However, the first three sons were thin, dark and ugly, and the youngest son was fatter. Because he had an older brother, he was the most favored in the family.
Nan Lezhi took a deep breath. Yan Weiwan noticed that his master was in a bad mood, so he consciously started questioning him, intending to take his master away quickly after the questioning.
I can sense that Master is in a bad mood, so it’s better to leave this place where demons and monsters are rampant as soon as possible.
"Then, is there anyone here that she cares about? She still has an obsession and has transformed into a fierce ghost. She might come back to take your life in a few days."
When the man heard Yan Weiwan say that, his expression suddenly changed.
Killing her? Impossible! The Ji family is so far away, can she come here?
The man rubbed his hands and spoke rather guiltily.
"Obsession? How could she have an obsession? The people she dislikes the most at home are us. The only thing she's obsessed with is probably her sister A Yuan..."
The man was speaking casually, but Yan Weiwan took this opportunity to continue questioning him.
"Where's her sister? Her biological sister? Didn't you buy A-Lian?"
The man mentioned A Yuan, spat, and started complaining.
"Bah, that money-losing thing! She's not my biological sister. She's another girl we bought. We bought her longer than A-Lian and spent five taels of silver on her. They usually call each other sisters. We originally planned to make her a child bride for my Sanbao, but she died half a year ago."
In their mouths, human life is nothing but worthless, especially the life of a woman. If she doesn't give birth to a son, her death will be a waste of money.
Yan Weiwan looked at their indifferent expressions and lowered her voice.
"Why did you die?"
The man spoke in a low voice, as if he was hiding something.
"If you get sick, you die..."
"What's wrong?"
Yan Weiwan was about to ask the question to the end. Bai Yunshu watched the sunset getting darker and darker, and an unusual atmosphere filled the air.
It's ghost energy... sweeping in from all directions, enveloping the village.
Invisible to mortal eyes, in her eyes, the ghostly aura was like a black mist, invading every corner and penetrating into the bodies of those men.
A part of it also drilled into the body of his little disciple.
Fusheng will definitely not let go of this level of evil spirit, after all, a mosquito is still meat no matter how small it is.
Qi Ningzhu couldn't see it, but he felt it.
She is very sensitive to the breath of demons and monsters, and can easily locate where it comes from.
But now it was a little unusual, because it came from the surrounding mountains, and it was basically resentment, which made her unable to judge for a while.
Tonight, it seems that there will be no peace, and it feels like a big ghost is haunting.
"Master."
She called softly, Bai Yunshu lowered his eyes to look at her, touched her head, and signaled her not to worry.
Nan Lezhi did not move, and was too lazy to look at anyone in the village.
She was too lazy to take care of this village. It was not her responsibility. She was only responsible for the content of the letter. However, the Ji family who sent the letter kept telling lies to deceive them, making the task even more difficult.
If she hadn't wanted to help A-Lian dispel her obsession and enter reincarnation, she would have torn up the letter of invitation and quit the mission long ago.
"It's getting dark, and I'm actually feeling a bit cold."
The man hugged his arms and trembled unconsciously, then started cursing while packing up the wine jars.
"I'm not sure. It was just too unlucky. She died in my cowshed. She was fine the night before, and she was dead the next morning. Her body was covered in rashes."
"We were afraid of infection, so we originally planned to burn it. But that little girl, A-Lian, was beaten half to death and refused to allow it. She carried it to the burial herself, saying that she wanted to rest in peace. That's about it. Does the Immortal have any other questions..."
If no one asked, he would take his four treasures home.
Qi Ningzhu made a "tsk" sound.
"If you tell a lie, a ghost will come at night and cut off your tongue and hang it on the door."
