Huang siblings: "..."
The moment they saw the cellar, they all killed.
Having lived on the island for so long, they have been going in and out of the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors since they were young, but they never knew that there were hidden mysteries here.
When Ye Lan smelled the stench coming from below, his expression became even colder and he walked straight down.
Seeing this, Huang Yao hurriedly got up and followed him down.
"Sister, be careful!" The other brothers were afraid that she would be bullied, so they hurriedly followed, leaving only one person to guard upstairs. At this point, they also wanted to figure out why Ye Lan suddenly came to kill them, and why a cellar suddenly appeared here.
The stairs going down are not long, only about ten steps to the bottom.
Huang Yao had only taken a few steps when he felt nauseous because of the stench that came over him.
"Sister, you might feel better if you smell the sachet. The cook picked one up in the woods a while ago and made it." The second brother of the Huang family doted on his sister. He handed her the sachet he always carried with him and said with disgust at the dark cellar, "I don't know how they made this place like this. After all, it's the ancestral hall and they don't allow anyone to disturb it. It reeks of feces and urine."
As he spoke, his feet had already stepped on flat ground.
They heard faint breathing sounds around them, but could not see anything clearly.
"Second brother, I'm a little scared." Huang Yao moved closer to his brothers and inexplicably felt that the entire cellar was filled with an ominous feeling.
"Don't be afraid, big brother brought a tinderbox." Huang's second brother comforted her.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the eldest brother of the Huang family on the side take out a fire starter and blew on it a few times.
The fire gradually lit up in the cramped cellar, allowing the Huang brothers and sisters to see everything clearly.
In the cellar, against the wall, there was a circle of women, all with disheveled hair and tattered clothes. Some had dazed expressions, some were crying silently, and from the purple marks on their exposed skin, it was not difficult to tell what they had experienced here before.
More importantly, Huang Yao saw several familiar faces.
"Yu Niang, why are you here?" She was shocked to see her favorite cook, who had been making cakes in the kitchen a few days ago. She didn't care about the mess and ran over to squat in front of her. Seeing the purple spots on her body and the obvious wound on the corner of her mouth, she asked fearfully, "Why are you here? What happened?"
The young girl named Yu Niang seemed to have been greatly shocked and had lost her mind. Upon hearing the sound, she looked at her blankly and murmured, "Give birth to a child..."
"What?" Huang Yao was stunned.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Niang grabbed his wrist. She opened her big, lovely eyes and drooled, "Give birth to a baby! Let's give birth to a baby. As long as we give birth to a baby, I can get out of here...Brother Daniu, are you coming today, or is Brother Da Jun coming too?"
A strange smile appeared on her face, and the words she said were even more jaw-dropping.
Huang Yao couldn't help but exclaimed, and hurriedly broke free from her hand. He stood up and stepped back repeatedly, his face panicking: "What is she saying? Why can't I understand a word she says?"
Her original intention was to seek comfort from her brothers.
But at this moment, a cold and indifferent female voice came faintly.
"It's not that you don't understand, it's that you don't want to admit it." Ye Lan was the first to come down. He had been standing in the dark cellar in silence until this moment. Every word he spoke weighed like a mountain on the hearts of the Huang family.
"These women you tricked from outside the island will be sent here after a few days of drug treatment to become clean and beautiful. They will become reproductive tools for the villagers of Peach Blossom Island."
No.
That's not the case.
Huang Yao wanted to refute her forcefully and loudly as before, but when he opened his mouth, he found that the voice was stuck in his throat and he couldn't say anything.
Because no one knew better than her how popular the beautiful Yu Niang was on the island. Da Niu and Da Jun could only follow her around, and Yu Niang had even told her privately that she disliked and looked down on these two people.
But now, she was drooling and willing to bear a child for them.
That look clearly showed the effects of the peach forest's medicine.
She clenched the sachet in her hand and smelled the fragrance wafting from it. Suddenly, she felt her stomach churning, and she bent down and vomited.
The sour smell mixed with the smell of excrement in the cellar made people feel even more disgusted.
The Huang brothers had no time to comfort their sister at this moment.
They were equally shocked by the truth, and at the same time they thought of the person who started all this.
Who would dare to let anyone into the cellar of the ancestral hall without the consent of the clan leader?
The cooks who disappeared inexplicably on the island were updated on the personnel list every once in a while, and soon they became ordinary women in the village. How could this be carried out smoothly without the consent of the patriarch?
Therefore, the final decision maker of all this is their father, Huang Weiren.
"Help the man out."
Ye Lan walked to the corner, took the lead in helping a girl up, and turned back to instruct the Huang brothers and sisters.
Huang Yao covered his aching stomach, struggled to stand up, and raised his leg to go over to help.
But as soon as he moved, he was grabbed by a big hand.
"Brother?" She turned to look at her brother, with a simple puzzlement between her eyebrows, "What's wrong?"
The eldest brother of the Huang family looked at her innocent face and felt sorry for her, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "You can't take her out. If you take her out, Peach Blossom Island will be finished, and the Huang family will be finished too."
"What are you talking about?" Huang Yao's eyes widened, staring at his brother in disbelief. He suddenly broke free from his grip. "Are you crazy? This is imprisonment, a crime. Can't you see that?"
She pointed at Yu Niang.
None of the Huang brothers dared to look up, feeling ashamed to face him.
In the end, it was the Huang family's second brother who pulled her aside and persuaded her, "But sister, Peach Blossom Island is our home. These are outsiders. We should unite against them now and discuss this matter after things have calmed down..."
"What else are we discussing? How can we have more children and select excellent bloodlines to inherit the Medicine Sect?" Huang Yao roared, unable to bear it any longer. Looking at his brothers, tears unconsciously filled his face. "Can't you see that Dad wants me to have children too? If Wu Heng doesn't come back, I'll have to marry a random villager, marry someone I don't like, have children, and expand Peach Blossom Island!"
What's the difference between her and those girls in the cellar?!
Her accusations echoed in the cellar for a long time, but the brothers opposite her remained silent.
Because they also know that this is an indisputable fact, and their father even mentioned this matter to them a few days ago.
After a moment of silence, the eldest brother of the Huang family said in a deep voice: "Actually, it's better to marry someone from the village. Wu Heng is not suitable for you."
Crash.
Huang Yao felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head. His expression froze and a sudden chill ran through his heart.
She suddenly realized that her brothers in front of her were also men.
They are the vested interests of Peach Blossom Island and of course they are reluctant to give up everything they have.
