Chapter 39 A Twist of Fate



So, the wooden coffins in this courtyard are for these pitiful pregnant women and children whose lives were cut short.

No, we absolutely cannot alert them here. There's more than just this one courtyard; he must find out the truth!

Luo Yong gripped his hand tightly, then nimbly jumped onto one of the wooden coffins and scaled the wall to leave.

Upon arriving outside the wall, Luo Yong did not leave immediately, but instead stared at the residence.

He wanted to memorize all these people's faces so he could capture them all later!

They're nothing but beasts, doing things for that evil spirit and aiding and abetting its evil deeds!

Even if it costs him his life, he will not let these guys continue to succeed!

After squatting for a while, he finally saw the gate of the mansion open again, and a group of old women, several simply dressed women, and a pregnant woman came out.

Seeing how kind the old woman was to some of the women, he fixed his gaze on two of them.

"Madam Ying, how could I be lying? Your Wu family matriarch was my savior before. I'll make sure that old lady gets another grandson!"

"Without my older sister, I wouldn't be where I am today!"

Grandma Shi beamed and saw them off with great courtesy.

My saviors, the Wu family.

Without the Wu family, Granny Shi wouldn't be where she is today.

Luo Yong happened to overhear these keywords, and he remembered the Wu family, so he followed them.

Having just gone through those events, Wu's third daughter-in-law's legs were weak, and it was only thanks to Cui Ying's support that the two of them were able to leave quickly.

"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. Didn't you see how afraid that thing is of the Mountain Goddess? Within the Mountain Goddess's power range, it doesn't dare to struggle at all."

She offered words of comfort in a low voice.

"But, but..." Liu Xin could still recall the child's dark eyes and strange features whenever she closed her eyes.

"That child, that child..."

Hearing this, Cui Ying whispered again, "What child? It's not a child at all! The Mountain Goddess said it was an incarnation of a false god. Long before this child was even born, it was already devoured by the power of the false god. What you see is just the shell!"

"Those old women in Dahe Village, and the villagers nearby, have only managed to summon the incarnations of false gods. They think they've actually gained sons and grandsons!"

Thinking of this, Cui Ying felt a chill run down her spine.

Many people in the neighboring Dahe Village have been blessed with sons and grandsons. She couldn't believe that the village next to Linjia Village was so dangerous.

If it weren't for the Mountain Goddess, the descendants of Linjia Village would have been "eaten up" by that false god sooner or later, right?

After all, which family could resist the temptation of receiving a child?

"Hurry, we need to tell Grandma Gongsun about this as soon as possible!"

Old Lady Gongsun and Lady An are the people the Mountain Goddess contacts the most. As long as you tell them, you don't need to worry anymore!

Neither of them noticed that someone was chasing them.

Luo Yong was initially somewhat skeptical, but upon vaguely hearing the two mention some kind of goddess, he immediately perked up.

These two must know something; they're connected to that evil spirit!

Following the two men to Linjia Village, Luo Yong compared the directions he had previously inquired about and became even more certain.

"Grandma Gongsun, open the door quickly, we've made an important discovery!" The eldest daughter-in-law of the Wu family pulled her younger brother and sister-in-law behind her and knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was Old Lady Gongsun, and Lin Anniang inside was making new food with kudzu root.

After being dried for a period of time, the kudzu root has been turned into powder. Lin Anniang used the new kudzu root powder to make a lot of kudzu root jelly and rice noodle soup.

These two dishes were immediately welcomed by the entire courtyard.

Just then, Cui Ying returned.

When Grandma Gongsun saw that the two women were trembling, she quickly took their warm, dry hands in hers.

"Come in and warm up."

The old lady was about to pull people inside when she suddenly stopped.

She opened the door again and glanced outside.

The old Lin family house was surrounded by woods, and all that Grandma Gongsun could see were a group of trees and fallen leaves all over the ground.
