Chapter 237 Why would you help me deal with the villagers?
The village chief was so angry that he bent down, picked up a stone and threw it at the crazy woman.
The mad woman dodged quickly, still repeating in her mouth: "Retribution! They are all punished!"
Then he ran away grinning.
"Don't listen to her. She's crazy and likes to talk nonsense in the village."
The village chief's face turned pale, and he suppressed his anger and explained to Zhou Jinyu and the others.
Zhou Jinyu didn't say anything, but just said: "Village Chief, take us to see those people with wedding dress lines on their bodies."
When the village chief heard the words "wedding dress pattern", his expression froze for a few seconds.
"please."
He pressed his left arm seemingly casually and said to Zhou Jinyu.
Zhou Jinyu glanced at his hand meaningfully and followed him to meet the villagers.
Except for a few women who did not develop wedding lines, everyone in the village had them. Some of the seriously ill ones were pale, had chapped lips, coughed bitterly, and twitched from time to time, looking like they were terminally ill.
Zhou Jinyu took a quick glance and knew that they were under a curse.
The people who were killed wanted these people to die in agony.
"Master Zhou, can they... still be saved?"
The village chief learned Zhou Jinyu's name on the way and called her Master out of courtesy.
He didn't doubt her youth because she showed off her skills and it was obvious that she was very capable. His initial contempt was completely gone.
Zhou Jinyu turned to look at him, "Village Chief, to cure a disease and save a life, you must know the symptoms. You haven't told me anything. Even if I can suppress the lines on their bodies temporarily, it will be useless over time."
The village chief's eyes flashed, and he frowned without saying a word.
We live in a society ruled by law now. If these people knew what happened in the village, they would definitely call the police and arrest them.
He is old and doesn't want to go to jail.
Zhou Jinyu was not in a hurry to urge them. After all, the villagers would confess when they could no longer bear the pain.
"Everyone, if you want to get well, come and tell me what happened."
She looked down at the suffering villagers and said, "Rather than being afraid of being exposed, I think it's better to be alive. What do you think?"
The villagers looked at each other in bewilderment. The one in the most pain spoke weakly, "Can you really heal us?"
Zhou Jinyu raised her hand casually, and two stones flew into her palm. She glanced at them casually, and they instantly turned into powder.
“…”
The villagers were shocked.
This is a true master.
"Master, we want to..."
Out of the desire to live, everyone raised their hands like a drowning man encountering a piece of driftwood.
"Shut up, everyone!"
The village chief shouted sternly, and the villagers, obviously afraid of his identity, put down their hands obediently.
"Master Zhou, they're just talking nonsense because they're in so much pain. We in Yunshui Village are simple and kind. Nothing you say has happened. The long wedding lines are just skin problems. Please don't listen to this crazy woman and make malicious assumptions about us."
He said to Zhou Jinyu.
Zhou Jinyu shrugged. "Since you said that, I don't have anything to ask."
"I'll stay here for three days to see if the skin changes are caused by water quality issues."
She came to get checked out as the village chief had mentioned that she had skin problems.
The three-day period was intended to give these people enough time to confess.
If you kill someone, you will be held legally responsible.
The village chief breathed a sigh of relief.
He was quite worried that Zhou Jinyu would continue asking questions.
It hasn't reached the point where it cannot be resolved, and he doesn't want what happened back then to be exposed to outsiders.
That's murder. If the police find out, you'll be sentenced to many years in prison.
"Master Zhou, you'll be staying in the village for three days. Can I show you where to stay first?"
The village chief changed the subject.
Zhou Jinyu had no objection.
The village chief took them to an ordinary small courtyard and introduced: "Master Zhou, this is my brother's home. They work away from home all year round and only come back during the holidays. You can live here. Don't worry about the room being dirty. My wife comes to clean it every day."
Zhou Jinyu nodded.
The village chief introduced the room to them.
"Master Zhou, you two are new here, so take a rest first. We'll check the water quality this afternoon."
"Um."
After the village chief left, Zhu Yi said, "Jinyu, I thought you would just use some tricks to force them to tell you what happened before."
After all, with Zhou Jinyu's decisive personality, it's a bit unbelievable for him to waste three days here.
"I'm still waiting for the bride to arrive, why are you in such a hurry?"
Zhou Jinyu said casually.
Thinking of the wedding dress patterns on the villagers, Zhu Yi probed: "Jinyu, are you talking about the bride who might have been killed by the villagers?"
Zhou Jinyu remained noncommittal.
Zhu Yi also wanted to know why she was killed, so he was no longer in a hurry to leave Yunshui Village.
At night, she sat cross-legged on the bed, with her hands in seals and muttering to herself.
As her spell fell, the resentment above the village pressed into the villagers' houses, and the villagers who had been able to bear it rolled over in pain.
After Zhou Jinyu finished, she stretched her hands lazily.
She was about to go to sleep when the room suddenly became cold. A female ghost in a red wedding dress appeared. Her hair was disheveled and her face and neck were covered with bruises.
"Why help me?"
The female ghost spoke, her voice very hoarse, like a rusty knife sawing on wood.
She thought Zhou Jinyu came here to help the villagers of Yunshui Village, but when she felt the resentment she had generated pressing into the villagers' rooms, she knew it was this master who did it.
"They did something wrong, and you're resentful and wanting revenge. Isn't it normal for me to help them if I know what's going on?"
Zhou Jinyu got off the bed and asked as a matter of course.
The female ghost looked at her in confusion, "But aren't you a master?"
The master's duty is to exorcise demons and monsters, and he has no sympathy for a resentful female ghost like her.
“It’s true that I’m a master, but I only help the right people.”
Zhou Jinyu made her position clear, "They killed you for their own desires, so they have to pay the price."
After hearing this, the female ghost obviously remembered the experience of being murdered. Her eyes turned red, and the evil spirit around her increased greatly. She was about to lose her mind.
Zhou Jinyu raised her hand and input spiritual power into her, restoring her to her original appearance.
She is a girl with pretty and delicate appearance.
"Girls should be pretty."
Zhou Jinyu clapped his hands and admired his masterpiece.
The female ghost lowered her eyes and looked at her white hands, with a flash of surprise in her eyes.
She could feel herself becoming more beautiful while the ghost power in her body was still there.
"If you want to take revenge, go ahead. After you're done, I'll send them to jail."
Zhou Jinyu said to the ghost: "As for the man who wanted to marry you but pushed you into the abyss, you can also leave Yunshui Village and find him, but my condition is that you don't take his life."
"I'm not trying to protect him. I just think you're such a wonderful person, it's not worth it for him to risk the consequences of not being able to reincarnate."
She explained patiently.
The female ghost hated that scumbag more than the entire Yunshui Village combined.
It was he who said he would protect her, but it was also she who watched him die.
She hated it so much, but because she became obsessed with Yunshui Village after her death, she could only take it out on the villagers after she became stronger.
They were a bunch of beasts, and she wished she could tear their tendons and bones apart.
"Master, can I really leave Yunshui Village?"
She took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Jinyu expectantly.
