"How could I harm you and the child? If I hadn't been an old man and couldn't bear the loss of my own blood, I wouldn't have wanted you to get pregnant and have a baby again.
If we have more children, we can reduce the burden on us. This way, when the time comes to use blood, we won't be drained dry.
Anyway, listen to me, the more children you have, the better for us."
"Is that so? It sounds like the Wen family will also need to bleed?"
"Well, if it weren't for this, why would I let that damn old woman be with that man? If it weren't for the offspring of their union, I..."
Having said that, Xu Qingshan pounced on Wen Mingtao.
Xiushui didn't want to see such an eye-catching thing. However, Qingshe was only following Yingying's instructions, and she couldn't give anyone any orders.
So the snake did not move, and she did not want to see the erotic affair between the old man and Widow Ma's daughter.
He hid sideways behind the wall and began to study the area around the ancestral hall.
It’s no exaggeration to say that this village is known as the richest village in the vicinity.
At least, Xiushui saw that there were pavilions, towers, lotus leaves and rolling hills near the ancestral hall. The combination of the village scenery and man-made scenery was really unique.
As he was quietly observing and lurking forward, he heard a faint sound of an argument coming from the front.
She originally thought it was just a dispute among villagers and was about to leave, but she heard it.
However, the faint sound of the wind carried words like space stone and space-time mirror.
How could she stand there now? She looked at the terrain and saw that there was no obstruction in front of her. No wonder those two people dared to talk in the pavilion.
However, this did not bother her.
She bought a set of camouflage clothes from the space, disguised her entire body, and crawled closer to the front.
Although it was a little uncomfortable to lie in the lotus mud, it would not be in vain as long as I could hear some useful information.
"Lao Mu, you threw away the Space-Time Mirror, and now you're suspecting this and that. Wake up! The higher-ups want us to find these two things, so we have to hurry."
"What are you looking for? I told you these two things are most likely to be with the Shi family. Especially that Xu Qingshan, who is actually Shi Qingshan's old man.
Their family was the one that kept the space-time mirror. When the space stone kept by our two families disappeared, he also said that the space-time mirror was missing.
But I don't think so. Ever since we met, I've felt that the old man has a lot on his mind."
"Lao Mu, the thing fell into your hands back then, you have to admit the fact. It's useless to always doubt this and that now. We have to find it.
If we don't find what we want, do you really want to wait until the higher-ups punish us? The collective suicides in several places this time are God's warning to us. If we don't find what he wants, he will kill all our relatives and tribesmen."
"Don't tell me about that disgusting guy. What kind of god is he? He's just the most despicable evil ghost. Not only did he kill our relatives, but he also caused so many innocent people to die with him. If he hadn't drugged us, I would have already..."
"Okay, Lao Mu, just keep these things to yourself. If you continue to be so impulsive, someone might hear you and take advantage of you."
Bang.
The man named Lao Mu threw a punch, blew the wind for a while, and then smiled sadly.
"Old Xu, you said, we were once one of the major families. But now, we are all controlled by others.
After several generations, we are now neither human nor ghost.
Sometimes, I even think that if God must take our lives, then all the members of our family should die with them.
Unfortunately, even if I wanted to take that evil ghost with me, I couldn’t even get in touch with him…”
"Lao Mu, don't think about it. Everyone wants to live a good life. Over the years, apart from taking medicine on time and being restrained, at least the family has food and drink, so they don't have to worry about food and drink, and they can even get married."
"We're worried about food and drink. Even if our families stop striving, we were once as wealthy as a nation. If he hadn't taken over our money... Never mind. What's the point of complaining? I'm telling you, for the sake of our families, what can we do? I'm just letting off some steam..."
It seemed that the two people really just wanted to vent, so they left soon after they finished talking.
Xiushui glanced at Xu Qingshan again. At this moment, Xu Qingshan was probably tired from playing cards and was snoring loudly with his eyes closed.
She looked at Wen Mingtao who was cleaning herself up, only to see him giving Old Xu a look of disdain.
Then, he pinched himself again with disgust.
"Why are you still alive? When I was twelve, he touched me and threatened me, and I coaxed him into giving it to him with candy.
Later, I knew it was wrong, but I didn't dare to speak out, and even more so... Ever since I came here, I hate you and your family.
If it weren't for you, I would have been able to be with that man.
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here living in fear every day. What about having a baby? Bah, you've slept with me for so many years, and you still can't make me pregnant.
You old man, what I didn’t tell you is that although we slept together secretly a few times with the man I married, I was pregnant.
If I wasn’t afraid of you finding out…why would I abort my own child…”
The look in her eyes as she stared at Xu Qingshan became more and more crazy. At this moment, there was no love left in this man, only a crazy desire for revenge.
However, when her hand was about to pinch Xu Qingshan's neck, the woman retracted her hand.
"No, I can't. If I pinch you, I won't be able to survive. If I pinch you, the man I love won't be able to survive either. Woo woo, you damn old man. Where did you put him..."
Seeing this, Xiushui became even more interested.
It means how could a normal girl in her teens fall in love with a bad old man.
It turns out that when she was young, she was naive and lost her virginity because someone used candy to coax her. After that, she met her true love, but was threatened by the old man again.
Then, she couldn't live with the man and wanted to go back to her parents' home.
Everything could be explained. Wen Mingtao wasn't crazy and didn't want to go back to her husband's home.
Rather, she had something on Xu Qingshan, so when she returned to her parents' home, it seemed like she was having an affair with the old man, but in fact, she wished he would die quickly.
I wonder what Widow Ma would think if she knew that she was the one who killed her daughter!
