Li was in her 20s, at the prime of her life, but her husband unfortunately fell ill and died a year ago.
As such a young widow, and also so beautiful, Li was bound to become the topic of conversation.
Some people said that she was born with bad luck. Not long after she got married, she killed her mother-in-law and husband one after another.
Some people also said that she might have had an affair with someone else and secretly killed her family with another man.
In short, although Li did not do anything, he was repeatedly slandered.
After a long period of spreading rumors, the villagers were unwilling to associate with her.
She usually only comes into contact with three people: her brother-in-law Li Zhongguang, the most educated scholar in the village Wang Mingjiao, and Zhao Yongfeng who has been pursuing her.
Since the villagers saw that the people she often interacted with were all men, they felt that Li was an unclean person.
In the evening, Li was taking a bath in the room.
Her face is still beautiful, but the hardships of life have left marks on her face.
Drops of water slid down her delicate features and onto her smooth skin.
But not long after it slid down, the water droplets discovered that her hands were no longer as smooth as before.
Since the breadwinner of the family had died, she had to fend for herself and do the heavy farm work.
But her tragic fate had just begun. The villagers isolated her, saying that she had killed her mother-in-law and husband, and even that she had colluded with outsiders to kill them.
Slowly, Li's eyes lost their luster, and were filled with countless melancholy.
"...Husband." Li thought of the past again and couldn't help shedding tears.
Bathing should be the most relaxing thing, but now it has become a sad thing.
She suppressed all her emotions and did not show them in front of others, but endured them silently.
Of course, she also had happy times, that was when she was with Wang Mingjiao.
Not only did he not despise her, he also came to help her enthusiastically.
He would even talk to her about poetry and songs, and tell her the stories hidden in them, which brought her a lot of comfort from her depressed days.
Although the villagers often doubted her and Wang Mingjiao's innocence, he did not mind and still treated her as usual.
"...Alas." Li wiped away her tears and gently wiped her body, from her wheat-colored neck to her waist which was as white as usual.
The air was filled with mist, and the curves of her figure were looming, outlining her beauty.
If my husband were still alive...
Just as Li was still missing her husband, strange noises were heard outside the house.
Although the noise was small, it aroused Li's vigilance, and her originally relaxed body suddenly became tense.
She held the cloth to cover her chest with her left hand, picked up the long scissors hidden nearby with her right hand, and secretly put them behind her.
"Who!" Li shouted, but no one responded to her.
Recently, when taking a bath, Li always felt a chill, as if someone was watching her with malicious eyes.
She originally thought it was just an illusion, but until yesterday she found footprints in the mud outside the house, which looked like those of a man.
Not only that, even the window paper was slightly damaged, allowing you to see where she was bathing.
I thought that if the problem with the window was solved, the thief would not appear again.
Unexpectedly, the other party became more and more aggressive and still wanted to spy on her.
"Who!" Li continued to shout, her voice trembling slightly, her hands shaking constantly, fearing that the other party would break in at the next moment.
After a while, there was still no movement outside the house. Li then relaxed his vigilance a little and put down the scissors in his hand.
She wiped herself quickly, then fumbled for the clothes beside her and put them on as quickly as possible.
After tidying herself up, Li glanced around and felt that there was someone outside the house, so she tentatively shouted, "I know who you are! Don't come over here again, or else... or else... don't blame me for fighting you!"
However, no one responded to her and the room was silent.
Li squatted down and started crying again.
At this moment, how much she wanted to have a man to rely on.
…
At night, inside the house, Li fell asleep with the longing for her husband.
A man in black tiptoed into Li's room, not daring to make any noise.
He had been coveting Li for a long time and expressed his love to her several times, but unexpectedly she remained chaste and refused to be with him.
In this village, Li's appearance is considered to be stunning.
Her husband had a short life and was not able to enjoy life, so leaving behind such a charming and lovely wife was a complete waste of talent.
Out of cherishing the beauty, the man in black has been secretly observing Li's every move recently.
Whether she was doing farm work or taking a bath, the man in black couldn't help but watch.
Especially the scene of Li bathing made his blood boil.
One time today, he almost couldn't help but rush in, but who would have thought that he would arouse the other party's vigilance.
Those loud roars almost scared him to death, and he no longer had the desire to rush in.
When the other party calmed down and wanted to continue watching, he overturned the wooden basin again, which scared him again. He could only leave in shame.
By night, he finally couldn't hold back any longer and decided to strike first.
The matter is done, and in order to preserve her chastity, she will definitely choose to conceal the matter!
So he sneaked into her room.
He slowly approached Li, trying to control the amplitude of his breathing, for fear that the extra breathing sound would wake the other person.
Under the moonlight, Li's delicate face was very captivating.
