Chapter 292 Meeting but Not Recognizing Each Other
"Really? That's quite a coincidence. We didn't have anything urgent to do, so we decided to stay and take a look," Xiao He replied with a smile.
Jin Sheng chimed in with a smile, "Uncle Chen, your village is so beautiful, why is no one out and about? It's so quiet!"
Old Chen was taken aback by the question. He picked up his pipe, took a few puffs, sighed, and explained.
"In our village, a while ago, the livestock in many households suddenly became restless and agitated. For several nights in a row, many families' livestock died tragically."
The corpse showed no external wounds, but its internal organs were mangled and bloody, as if ripped apart by the claws of some wild beast.
"Huh? Was it eaten by some kind of wild wolf?" Xiao He asked.
"I don't know, but something even stranger has happened these past few days. Whenever it rains, villagers from our village mysteriously disappear at night."
When we went to check, we only saw a roof with holes and a house that was soaking wet, as if it had been flooded.
Sometimes, in the dead of night, we could often hear groups of people screaming pitifully. When we went to investigate, we could only see a few ghostly black figures by the river.
The light was too dim at night to see clearly, but I could see a few blurry shadows walking back and forth along the riverbank, and I didn't know what they were looking for.
As soon as we got there, the shadows disappeared. This went on for a long time, and everyone started saying that a water ghost haunted our river. Everyone stayed home at night, afraid to go anywhere.
ah?
Jiang Ruzhen and the other two exchanged glances. Something was amiss.
Perhaps he has something to hide?
Thinking of the vast fields and rolling hills she had seen on her way here, Jiang Ruzhen simply did not believe Old Chen's words.
This village is strange, and the old man's house is even stranger.
at night.
All around was completely silent.
Jiang Ruzhen couldn't sleep, so she thought she would take a stroll in the yard.
Jin Sheng and Xiao He sat down to meditate and reminded Jiang Ruzhen to be careful.
Jiang Ruzhen nodded, then slipped into the space and circled the courtyard, but found nothing.
I remember Old Chen pointing to the three houses behind him during the day, proudly saying that his youngest daughter would be getting married tomorrow.
She wanted to go and see.
Based on what she had seen during the day, the women in this family should have a very low status, so why was the youngest daughter so favored?
Not only did Old Chen speak of her with great pride, but he also showed a hint of respect and fear.
But why should a father be afraid of his own daughter?
If she can't figure it out, she'll investigate it herself.
As the space shifted to the backyard and Jiang Ruzhen arrived at the door, she suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation.
Her heart started pounding uncontrollably.
As if sensing something, Jiang Ruzhen darted into the house.
These three mud-brick houses are neat and clean. They look dark from the outside, but the inside is surprisingly spacious and spacious.
The east room was decorated with festive cheer, with red cloth, colorful flowers, large red "double happiness" characters, and red candles everywhere.
She went inside and saw an ordinary-looking, overweight woman lying on the bed, fast asleep.
Judging by his age, he's probably almost fifty.
Wrinkles have appeared around his eyes and cheeks, and he snores loudly.
Jiang Ruzhen glanced at the room and left, then went to the west room.
Upon entering, the room was pitch black. By the faint moonlight, she could only see a dark figure huddled in the corner.
Her heart started pounding wildly again.
A familiar scent emanated from that figure.
"Lu Mingzheng..."
Without even looking at his face, Jiang Ruzhen immediately recognized the person lying on the ground as Lu Mingzheng.
She knew his body all too well.
But when Jiang Ruzhen rushed over, excitedly hugged Lu Mingzheng and called his name...
Lu Mingzheng slowly woke up, looked at her with a puzzled expression, and asked with a frown.
"Little girl, who are you?"
A thunderbolt struck Jiang Ruzhen on the head.
Lu Mingzheng no longer recognized her.
Did he suffer a head injury and amnesia in the plane crash?
This is not the place for questioning. Jiang Ruzhen grabbed Lu Mingzheng and led him into the space.
She shook Lu Mingzheng anxiously, "I'm Jiang Ruzhen, I'm your fiancée Zhen! Lu Mingzheng, what's wrong with you? Don't you recognize me?"
Lu Mingzheng looked around blankly, shook his head, and looked down to see Jiang Ruzhen almost completely nestled in his arms.
He frowned and stepped back slightly. "Young lady, I'm getting married soon, and I already have a woman I love. Don't get so close to me, or my wife will be angry."
She hits people when she's angry. You have delicate skin, and it will hurt a lot if she beats you. Listen to me, you should leave right now.
Upon hearing his words, Jiang Ruzhen immediately sensed something was wrong. She reached out and lifted Lu Mingzheng's sleeve, only to see that his body was covered with blue and purple whip marks.
When his shirt was lifted up, it was discovered that his chest and back were covered with layers of wounds, some of which had not been treated at all.
The skin and flesh were rolled up, and in some places, pus was oozing out and the skin was red and swollen.
"You...what happened to you? Who hit you?" Jiang Ruzhen's hand trembled as she touched him, tears streaming down her face.
Lu Mingzheng tilted his head and looked at Jiang Ruzhen's tears, not knowing what was wrong with him.
He clearly likes the woman named Chen Cuihua in the east room, so why does his heart ache when he sees the tears of this little girl in front of him?
"Don't cry, little girl. Don't worry, I won't let her hit you. I'll protect you."
Seeing Lu Mingzheng, who couldn't recognize her at all after losing his memory, and who kept saying he had fallen in love with someone else, she still instinctively said she wanted to protect her.
Jiang Ruzhen could no longer hold back; she threw herself into Lu Mingzheng's arms and burst into tears.
Her anxiety and unease of the past few days finally found an outlet; she cried so hard that she nearly fainted, leaving Lu Mingzheng completely bewildered.
He awkwardly raised his hand and kept wiping away her tears, comforting her that she shouldn't be afraid.
But the more he acted this way, the more distressed and heartbroken Jiang Ruzhen became.
When she finally finished crying, she hurriedly dragged Lu Mingzheng to the edge of the Spirit Spring Pool and pressed him down in the pool.
Lu Mingzheng, like a child, obediently let Jiang Ruzhen do as she pleased.
He looked around, showing no fear, but instead asked Jiang Ruzhen curiously.
"Little girl, who are you? This place seems so familiar, like I've been here in my past life."
Jiang Ruzhen wiped away her tears, scooped up some spiritual spring water, and splashed it onto Lu Mingzheng's wound to clean it.
"I've already told you, I'm your fiancée. You lost your memory in a plane crash during a mission, and that old, ugly, fat woman outside is not your wife at all."
The person you love is me. Even if you lose your memory, you must still have me in your heart. I will not allow you to love anyone else.
At this moment, Jiang Ruzhen was like a child snatching candy, stubbornly holding onto her own candy and not allowing anyone else to touch it.
Lu Mingzheng pondered, subconsciously feeling that what the little girl in front of him said seemed to be right.
He also felt that she was very kind to him, and he would definitely be willing to marry her.
But the thought of this gave him a sharp, throbbing headache.
"ah--"
Lu Mingzheng suddenly clutched his head and roared, startling Jiang Ruzhen.
"What's wrong with you, Lu Mingzheng? Don't scare me..."
Lu Mingzheng felt as if a large worm was crawling around in his head, shattering all his previous thoughts.
A voice kept repeating in his mind.
"The person you like is Chen Cuihua, and you want to marry her. The person you like is Chen Cuihua..."
Lu Mingzheng rolled around in the pool, clutching his head, repeating those two sentences over and over...
In no time, he was tortured into unconsciousness.
Jiang Ruzhen didn't know what was going on, and didn't dare to move him easily.
He had no choice but to manipulate the space back to his room and drag Jin Sheng and Xiao He, who were meditating, into the space.
Pointing at the unconscious Lu Mingzheng, he asked the two men, "Senior brothers, quickly take a look, what's wrong with Lu Mingzheng?"
Jin Sheng and Xiao He stepped forward, each grabbing one of Lu Mingzheng's wrists to examine him. After about twenty seconds, the two exchanged a shocked glance.
"Love Spell!"
