Chapter 385: Spare My Life, Lady Hero
When Li Gang's mother and father first got married, they were a model couple in the village. Because his mother was incredibly beautiful and his father had been paralyzed in bed due to a job, his mother had no choice but to sell her body to help support the family. The first time she had sex was with his third uncle, who loved his mother and didn't want anyone else to get involved with her, so he brought it up with her. His mother initially disagreed, so his third uncle got drunk and slept with her in front of his father.
"I was only five years old at the time. I knew clearly that my mother loved my father very much, but no man could tolerate his wife being treated like this in front of him! So my father was furious and died. My mother cried uncontrollably and held my father's body in the rain all night. When she came back, her eyes had lost their vitality and turned bright red... the kind where you couldn't see the pupils."
Lin Yilan asked curiously, "What happened next?"
"After that, mother seemed like a different person. She took out a lot of needles and some things I had never seen before from a wooden box carved with intricate patterns... She resurrected father in a few seconds. It was summer at that time, and my father's body had already started to be infested with insects... My mother held me there, cut my hand with a needle and let the blood drip into my father's mouth. A magical thing happened... All those maggots started crawling towards me. My eyes, mouth, and ears were all full of them..." Li Gang still has the fear in his eyes when he recalls that disgusting scene.
It is conceivable how great the psychological trauma it caused him at the time was.
Li Gang didn't want to continue talking: "Can you help me kill my third uncle? Only when he dies will this secret technique end."
Before Lin Yilan and Huo Juncheng could recover from this story, Li Gang suddenly stood up and hid behind Lin Yilan: "Save me, save me, he's coming again."
"Who's here?" Lin Yilan asked, looking back. A few words later, she saw a man standing before her, his movements appearing extremely stiff. Even his eyeballs moved much more slowly than a normal person's. The man looked terrifying, holding out his hand in front of him. "Li Gang, your mother asked me to pick you up."
Li Gang grabbed the corner of Lin Yilan's clothes tightly: "I won't go over, I won't go over, I don't want to be your appendage anymore. Never again!" Li Gang stepped back, and the man took a step forward and easily grabbed Li Gang, then took him to the house next door as if no one was around.
Lin Yilan and the others had no choice but to follow them to find out what was going on. Arriving at the house next door, Lin Yilan discovered that the mother Li Gang had been talking about wasn't crazy at all... Time seemed to have no effect on her; she actually looked as young and lively as a woman in her twenties.
She didn't seem surprised at all by the appearance of Lin Yilan and the others: "Who are you looking for me for? Let me think, Qin Chaotian?" The woman smiled mysteriously, and the strategizing look in her eyes was really uncomfortable.
"You...Qin Chaotian, what on earth is going on?"
"A man sold himself to me for his own grand dreams. It's that simple." The woman said nothing more. She simply took a hairpin from the back of her hair and thrust the pointed end into Li Gang's body. "My dear son, why didn't you listen to what I told you? After all these years, can't you forgive me? Don't move. Just bleed twice more and you'll be fine."
Li Gang's wrist was cut, and the dark blood seemed to solidify into small pieces and fell to the ground.
Every time the black blood fell, a "bang" sound could be heard on the floor, like a small stone hitting the ground.
Soon, the blood on Li Gang's wrist was drained. He seemed very comfortable... and fell asleep while lying down.
Lin Yilan really wanted to find out what happened to Qin Chaotian. She had finally come here and didn't want to leave so easily. She asked, "Is Qin Fenghan's death related to this matter?"
"Are you talking about Qin Chaotian's brother?"
"Um."
"He was a substitute. It's a pity that his birth date and horoscope were too incompatible with Qin Chaotian's, so he couldn't be adopted because of the curse. As for his death... it had nothing to do with me." The woman glanced at herself with a clear expression: "When you see through the secrets that others want to hide the most, everyone will do extreme things."
The woman's words actually summarized a lot, and also clearly confirmed that Qin Fenghan was killed by Qin Chaotian.
Lin Yilan didn't want to give up this clue, so she took a deep breath and continued to ask, "Can you help me testify in court?"
The beautiful woman suddenly laughed when she heard this and asked, "Do you want me to tell others that I'm a wizard in this age where people don't believe in ghosts and monsters? Even if I told them, do you think they would believe it?"
Lin Yilan: “…”
Yeah... no one would believe it. Lin Yilan sighed and could only leave their house at Longcheng's signal. After they left, the woman received a call from Haicheng: "I have found the target, and I will take you there in the next two days."
"Qin Chaotian, you're really quick. Aren't you afraid that you'll be suspected because we're so close?"
"What are you afraid of? I'm not killing anyone. I'm just passing on my 'strange disease' to you."
The woman smiled and said, "Okay, you should be more careful recently."
…
Lin Yilan and Huo Juncheng didn't dare to stay here any longer. After getting the result they wanted, they booked the fastest flight back to Haicheng that day and flew back.
Thirty thousand feet in the air, Lin Yilan hadn't recovered from the story at Li Gang's house. She stared straight ahead, still recalling the story Li Gang had told them: "What happened next?"
She always felt that things would not end so easily, but there was really no reason to stay.
It’s better to stay as far away from such a scary person as possible, especially when you don’t know whether she is a friend or an enemy.
After returning to Haicheng, Lin Yilan followed Huo Juncheng back to the Huo family and had a good sleep. In her dream, she even had a follow-up story about Li Gang's mother. In the dream, she thought she remembered it very clearly, but when she woke up, she had forgotten everything.
She rubbed her eyes and got up from the bed, looking around but found nothing.
"Huo Juncheng!"
Huo Juncheng opened the bathroom door when he heard Lin Yilan's call. He was brushing his teeth, with toothpaste still clinging to the corners of his mouth. When he heard Lin Yilan calling him, he raised his hand in a silly and cute way: "Here!"
"nerve."
"If I were crazy, I would spend a lot of money to make a pair of keyless handcuffs and tie you to my side for the rest of my life! You would have to take care of my food, drink, toilet and urination."
Huo Juncheng's scoundrel look really deserved a beating. Lin Yilan endured it again and again, sneered and squinted her eyes: "Really! Then let's try it. If you're not crazy, how about I beat you into a disability first!"
"Lady, spare my life!"
