One Soul Shocking Sword, Heaven and Earth Ghost Shock! Meng Chun Lou was the owner of this sword.

CHAPTER 101 - SUDDEN CHANGE

This scream was like a bolt out of the blue. It immediately attracted everyone's attention. As for who was the source of this scream, and whether the person was male or female, no one cared!

Gu Yiyang was the first to reach the location of the incident. He saw that a dilapidated straw house was piled with firewood. It had almost sealed off the entrance to the house. It even blocked half of the light outside, making the inside of the house appear even darker!

Gu Yiyang tried to look for other ways to enter, but he realized that the thatched cottage didn't have any windows, and the only way to enter was through the front door. He braced himself to move the dried wood away, then bravely walked into the house, only to see that the dim hall was a bit messy.

Is anyone there? Gu Yiyang asked loudly.

There was no response from the empty room. It was as silent as a cold cellar!

Gu Yiyang took a deep breath. He felt a faint smell of blood quietly appearing in front of him like fireworks after a lifetime. He tried to walk into the room next door and couldn't help but be stunned by what he saw!

His hair was messy, filthy, and dirty on his head, but his face was washed clean, and the corners of his mouth still had traces of faint red blood. His hands were folded across his chest, and he seemed very calm, but the maggots that kept crawling out of his body were like dirty poisonous snakes, dazzling to the eye, and it caused one to feel nauseous from the bottom of their hearts!

Gu Yi Yang felt his stomach churn. He really wanted to vomit happily, but he forcefully held it back!

Because there was a line of blood written on Huang Dajian's bedside: Hate the old days and new years, so I will never be able to avenge myself! Today, he would never return. He would leave his hatred behind on Huang An!

Gu Yiyang was secretly thinking about what was in the poem when he saw Meng Chunlou walk in sideways and asked, What did you find out?

I only saw a dead man, but I don't know if he's Huang Darian or not. Gu Yiyang said.

That's Huang Darian! Niu Xiaobao stuck his head out from behind Meng Chun Lou while panting heavily, "Usually, no one comes in contact with him, and he rarely takes the initiative to contact the villagers. He also frequently blocks the dry wood outside the door in order to prevent the villagers from disturbing him.

Oh? Meng Chunlou looked at Niu Xiaobao with a puzzled expression. He's also a villager from Huang An Village. You were actually happy that he died?

That's right! Niu Xiaobao gave an embarrassed smile. If he doesn't die, then the whole of Huang An Village will not be safe! He always treated the villagers as his enemies, and no one could change his mind! It's just that my grandfather was kind and took good care of him. Otherwise, the villagers would have kicked him out of the village a long time ago!

Since he is out of place among the villagers of Huang An Village, why did your grandfather still let him stay in the village? Gu Yiyang asked.

Because if he leaves the village, he won't be able to survive! Niu Xiaobao smiled awkwardly, He is a very lazy man. He doesn't know how to farm or cook, and he just can't put down his pride to beg for food. The villagers pity him, so they just give him food every few days. If he leaves, he will definitely starve to death!

According to what you said, he should be grateful to the villagers for taking care of him. Why would he treat the villagers as his enemies? Meng Chun Lou asked.

I'm not too sure either! However, according to my grandfather, when his parents were alive, they were bandits. They loved to steal the possessions of the villagers, and regardless of their size, as long as they didn't return empty-handed. For this reason, my grandfather had many conversations with his parents, urging them to restrain themselves a little, but not only did they not listen, they even intensified. They finally provoked the wrath of the masses, and the villagers hanged his parents alive! Niu Xiaobao asked.

Is that why he had his enmity with the villagers? Gu Yiyang asked.

Niu Xiaobao nodded his head and said, He was still young and probably not as old as me. He personally witnessed the tragic death of his parents. That kind of painful despair will never be washed away! He is a pitiful person!

He's pitiful my ass! If he was pitiful, then there wouldn't be pitiful people in the village!

When she finished her words, she had long seen a middle-aged woman with a wrinkled face squeezed through the crowd. She walked straight to Huang Dajian and slapped him a few times on the face with her palm. Her tears fell like rain as she sobbed, Do you have a day too? You beast! Why did you only die now?

Everyone could not help but discuss this abnormal action of hers. Niu Xiaobao was even more puzzled as he asked, Aunt Wang, why do you hate him so much? Weren't you always taking care of him? Why are you humiliating him now that he's dead?

Normally, she was a kind person and loved to help others. She took care of Huang Dajian in every possible way, and the villagers all had a good impression of her. At this time, Wang Yumei's heart was in her throat as she stared coldly at Huang Dajian's corpse, sneering and saying, Why can't I hate him? If it wasn't for him, how could I have lived such a miserable life?"

The villagers did not buy her words, because Wang Yumei was not only good at handling household chores, but was also well-organized. She also had a smart head and did some small business, leading a very rich life, and many of the single men in the village wanted to marry her, but she did not like any of them, so she was alone and even the village head was worried about her.

In the eyes of others, her life was pretty good. In terms of being miserable, she couldn't even be considered miserable. However, there were tears on her face, causing people to think about it.

Aunt Wang, who isn't envious of your family's life? How can you say you're living a miserable life? Niu Xiaobao looked at Wang Yumei with a curious expression. I remember last year, you invited a troupe over for your birthday. This is not something an ordinary person can do!

What do you know? Wang Yumei smiled bitterly, Just a few stinking coins and you think you're doing well? Who can understand that kind of loneliness and depression? "

Since you are so lonely, why didn't you find a man to marry? Aren't the men in the village obvious enough to you? The one who said this was Wang Fuan, who had chased after Wang Yumei before. Although he already had a wife, he was still unwilling to give up on her. After all, Wang Yumei was a woman who rejected her on her own accord.

Who said I don't want to marry, but I can't! Wang Yumei said with extreme hatred.

What? Wang Fuan's eyes widened in shock. If you want to marry her, who can stop you?

That's him! Wang Yumei coldly pointed at Huang Dajian, He is a beast that has wasted my kindness to him, but he did not retaliate, and instead had the urge to rape me. He even threatened me, saying that if I dared to expose my identity, he would tear me into pieces, and even find my family. If you ask me, would I dare to marry someone?"

There's actually such a thing? Wang Fuan was speechless. Why didn't you say so earlier?

Do I dare? Wang Yumei smiled bitterly, An animal like him has such a vicious heart. What if I don't listen to him and he really does such a heinous thing? Do I have to face my own family?

You think too much! If you had told me the truth earlier, I would have been the first to stand out and uphold justice for you. Don't say that he, Huang Daxian, doesn't dare to do anything to me, but even if he does, I'm not afraid of him. Wang Fuan said with a face full of pride.

That's right! If you had said it earlier, my grandfather would have upheld justice for you! Niu Xiaobao asked.

When Wang Yumei heard this, she could not help but cover her tears and say, I also want to tell the truth, but he is too shameless! He actually used a knife to cut off the flesh on his leg in front of me. Furthermore, he even threatened me that if I told him the truth, he would commit suicide and die a horrible death. At that time, I would become a murderer. I won't say anything else. This is my life!

When the crowd heard this, they couldn't help but feel some sympathy for her. Even more so, they felt endless hatred for Huang Dajian. Their eyes were all wide open, wishing that they could eat his flesh and chop off his head to use as a ball kick!

At this moment, Qiu Ying walked in slowly and said, Hero Meng, my master said that the herbs have been prepared. Would the villagers like to take them?

Of course! Meng Chun Lou immediately turned around and waved to everyone, Everyone go drink some medicine and try to recover quickly!

What about here? Niu Xiaobao asked.

If I were to say so, I might as well cut this beast into a thousand pieces to save his corpse! Villager Wang Fuan said.

Well said! I will do it myself. I will chop him into mincemeat! The villagers answered in unison.

Me too! The villagers echoed in unison.

Seeing that the crowd was in an uproar, Meng Quan said, Everyone, calm down! Even if he had committed many evil deeds while he was alive, he should have written them off right now. After all, no one could let him die again! I think we should just be generous and bury him!

I don't agree! Wang Fuan's anger had yet to subside as he glared coldly at Huang Dajian's corpse, If it wasn't for this beast interfering, I might have married Wang Yumei. He ruined my plans, I definitely wouldn't have let him die so easily!

I don't agree either! Zhang Nian was so angry that his mouth was crooked. When his father and mother were alive, they stole our chamber pots many times. Now that father has paid his debts, I can't let him die too easily!

Are you done yet? Niu Xiaobao was also angry, and started stamping his feet, If he's dead, what's the use of hacking him to death? We're just making others laugh at our lack of tolerance! I believe that if my grandfather were still alive, he would never agree to do so! "

Then what do you think we should do? Wang Fuan asked.

Just like hero Meng said, bury him! I don't believe that if we do this, we will be at a huge disadvantage! Niu Xiaobao asked.

Seeing a child like him speak such righteous words, the crowd couldn't help but have a whole new level of respect for him. Wang Fuan's face reddened in embarrassment, and when she looked at Wang Yumei again, she sighed lightly and said, Forget it! I have been hurt by him my whole life, and I don't want to be the one to blame for humiliating a dead body, so I might as well just bury him!

Seeing that the victims had expressed their stance, no one said anything more. Thus, Meng Chunlou arranged for the villagers to go out and drink some medicine, and at the same time, he was also ready to deal with Huang Dahan.

Since Huang Dajian's corpse was rotten, it was not appropriate to touch it with their hands, so Meng and Gu were determined to carry it out with the bamboo bed and carry it out for a cremation. At that moment, they suddenly heard voices outside, and they were surprised to see Du Jiangsheng rushing over, shouting, Not good! Our medicine has become poison!

When Meng Chun Lou heard this, she rushed out of the house without thinking too much. A few villagers had already lied down at the place where the medicine was being made. Their deaths were quite tragic and they had actually bled from seven orifices.

At this time, a group of villagers were surrounding Yan Jiuniang and her four maids tightly, all of them brandishing their fists in excitement, some had even secretly pulled out sickles, pulling on the crowd and was about to commit murder. When Gu Yiyang saw this, he did not hesitate any further, and jumped into the encirclement, blocking in front of Yan Jiu Niang, and shouted, Everyone calm down! Don't act recklessly!"

Calm your head! You bunch of evil spirits! Even though you are using the name of saving others on the surface, you are actually doing it to harm others. You are worse than pigs and dogs! " Wang Fuan took the lead and shouted.

Yes! You outsiders are not familiar with us, so you have no reason to come here to save us. You are the spies sent by the Ru Yi Hall, and they wanted to cut us down so that we could get rid of our roots. You guys are too vicious! " Zhang Dayan sternly scolded.

What exactly have we done wrong? Why do you want to kill us one by one? If you don't act, do we still have any hope of survival? Can't you wait a few more days? Wang Yumei's voice was cold, her eyes filled with disappointment and hatred!

What the hell is going on? Gu Yiyang turned to look at Yan Jiuniang, How did a pot of antidote turn into poison in the blink of an eye?

I don't know what happened either. Everything happened so suddenly! Yan Jiuniang said.

Can you tell how the villagers died? Gu Yiyang asked.

They were hit by the Unintentional Dispersal! Yan Jiuniang said.

Isn't the Heartless Powder a chronic poison? Why did it flare up so quickly?" Gu Yiyang asked.

If you put enough of it, it will become a potent poison! As Yan Jiuniang spoke to here, she couldn't help but look at Qiu Ying, Has anyone approached the soup?

No! It has always been us guarding this place! " Autumn Shadow said.

Then where did this poison come from? Yan Jiuniang could not help but sink into a state of depression.

Stop putting on an act! We're all about to vomit! Wang Fuan waved at the crowd and said, Fellow villagers, these people are vicious and have killed our neighbors. I suggest that we take advantage of the fact that we are still alive to take revenge for the dead villagers!

The villagers all went crazy, throwing themselves at Yan Jiuniang and the others. The berserk waves of people, under the urging of rage, immediately turned into indestructible boulders, enough to crush and destroy everything!

CHAPTER 102 - STRANGE HOUSE

Seeing that the situation was critical, and that it would cause a physical conflict if he did not stop them, Niu Xiaobao shouted, All of you, stop! You guys stop messing around!

You said we were messing around? Wang Fuan's eyes widened as he stared at Niu Xiaobao. We were almost killed by them, and you're still talking about our nonsense?

They are good people and have been trying to find a way to save us. I don't believe that they will harm us! Niu Xiaobao asked.

Pfft! Wang Fuan looked Niu Xiaobao up and down, I finally understand that you're in cahoots with them! No wonder the whole village is infected with the plague, you're the only one who's fine, you're a spy sent by them, how can they bear to let you be infected by the plague? "

After hearing his explanation, everyone in the village was stunned. Everyone stared at Niu Xiaobao with furious and vicious eyes. If looks could kill, then Niu Xiaobao had already died eight hundred times over!

NO! I am not a spy! Niu Xiaobao was sweating profusely. Our whole family died from the plague. If I were with them, how could I let them harm my family?"

This means that you are even more detestable! Zhang Dayan coldly stared at Niu Xiaobao and said, For the sake of being someone else's lackey, you even dared to harm your own kin. You are even worse than an animal!

No! Niu Xiaobao could actually kill someone with just a few words. He felt suffocated. He shook his head with all his might, trying to convince everyone that he was innocent. However, the anger of the villagers did not diminish in the slightest.

Kill this brat and avenge the village chief's death! Wang Fuan shouted and the villagers lost all sense of reason. They crazily rushed towards Niu Xiaobao and brandished their fists and scythes, trying to vent their anger on him!

Niu Xiaobao was completely terrified. His eyes were wide open as he watched the irrational villagers charge at him. He could only close his eyes out of instinct and calmly wait for death to befall him!

With a hu sound, a frantic sound of wind entered Niu Xiaobao's ears. He felt as if his body was floating like an immortal, as if his soul had left his body. He could not help but think in his heart, I'm finished, I'm dead! Even before I can feel anything, my soul has already left my body! "

He opened his eyes instinctively and saw that he was already in the arms of Meng Chun Lou. He was standing on the roof of a thatched cottage, quietly looking down on the angry villagers. Meng Chun Lou shouted loudly, Calm down, we are not bad people!

They are the bad guys! Huang Shengren suddenly jumped out from the crowd and brandished his arm with all his might. His comrade once hacked my horse to death with a sword and even broke the carriage open. They obviously wanted to stop me from transporting the lifesaving food over here. They are the bad guys!

When the crowd heard this, how could they bear to listen to Meng Chunlou's explanation. They moved up the stairs one by one. Some of them even lit torches, wanting to burn the house down to capture the person. When Meng Chunlou saw this, he could not help but sigh, It seems like this is the human heart!

Hero Meng, stop sighing. You should just run for your life! Gu Yi Yang shouted and grabbed Yan Jiuniang's hand. With a tap of his feet, he jumped onto the roof. With a face full of anxiety, he said, Let's talk after we escape!

He carried Niu Xiaobao and rushed out of the village while Mo Yunqi carried Du Jiangsheng. Gu Yiyang and Yan Jiuniang were running away with Yan Jiuniang while the four maids were chasing after them using their own movement techniques. As for Ding Yuhua, she quickly drove the carriage back to Yangzhou's Pleasant Mansion, and in the end, only Mo YunZhou and Peng Gao were still in the room.

Under the lead of Wang Fuan and Zhang Chang Nian, the villagers chased them all the way to the village entrance. When they saw Meng Chun Lou and the rest had fled, they returned to the village.

It was unknown who mentioned that there were two more accomplices in the house, but these villagers went crazy again. Under the urging of their fury, they rushed to the Village Chief's house and surrounded it, loudly cursing Peng and Mo. However, they did not hear a response for a long time.

Wang Fuan felt something was amiss, he immediately used his sickle and charged in, but where could he see Peng and Mo's figures?

He knew that Meng Chun Lou and the rest had been misunderstood, and was unable to explain it clearly. He was afraid that these people would try to vent their anger on him and Peng Gao, so he took advantage of the moment when they were chasing Meng Chun Zhou and the others to flee, bringing Old Master Peng along with him. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to escape his fate of being caught at this very moment!

As for Meng Chun Lou and the rest who escaped from the village, their hearts were filled with unwillingness. Gu Yi Yang could not help but curse, What bad luck! To be treated as a bad person despite wanting to save him, it was truly a joke! These villagers must be stupid!"

We can't blame them all. After all, what happened today is too nefarious. No one can be rational about it! Yan Jiuniang said.

What do we do now? Although they're not right, we can't just watch them die from illness. We have to think of a way to save them!" Meng Chun said.

I don't think there's a need to care about those villagers! Our kind people tried to help them with the medicine, but in the end they didn't believe us. This kind of person deserves to die from illness! Xia Yu said.

Xia Yu! Slap! Yan Jiuniang sternly rebuked.

Xia Yu pouted, her heart filled with dissatisfaction, but she still raised her hand and slapped herself.

If I don't tell you to stop, then keep hitting! Yan Jiuniang said angrily.

When Xia Yu heard this, she couldn't help but give Yan Jiuniang another look. Finally, she hardened her heart and fiercely slapped her own mouth. That clear sound made people's scalp go numb. Now that we have been misunderstood, it's reasonable that everyone is upset. If we were to punish ourselves, it would be too boring! "

For the sake of Hero Meng, I'll let you off this time. If there's a next time, I won't let you off lightly! Yan Jiuniang said in annoyance.

Thank you, master! After Xia Yu said this, she looked at Meng Chunlou, Thank you, hero Meng!

I'm sorry! Niu Xiaobao's face turned sullen. I know you're all good people, but I can't uphold justice for you. I have a guilty conscience!

You can't be blamed for this. With this kind of thing happening, no one will be able to do anything about it! Meng Chunlou comforted her softly.

Since things have come to this, we'd better find a place to settle in first before slowly discussing about saving others! Du Jiangsheng said.

It's a pity that my home was set on fire and I don't have any relatives or friends nearby. If I enter Yangzhou City and am too far away, I would be in a dilemma! Meng Chun said.

I know one place. That place is a little remote, so I'm afraid you've been wronged! Niu Xiaobao asked.

It's not a big deal! As long as you have a tile to cover your body! Meng Chun said.

Then come with me! Niu Xiaobao walked toward the east side of the village and let out a long sigh. He said, That's Huang Dajian's other home. Every time he suffers in the village, he will stay there for a few days. I'm the only one who knows about this place!

Oh? Du Jiangsheng blinked his eyes, How do you know?

Because he invited me there! Niu Xiaobao smiled bitterly. Although Huang Dahan hated the villagers, he didn't have any wariness towards me. Perhaps in his eyes, I was just an ignorant child after all!

If he has another home, why does he live in the village? Isn't it obvious that we are being disliked? Du Jiangsheng asked.

I remember him telling me that he was born in Huang An Village and that he was born in Huang An Village. That's where his roots lie. He will never leave there! Niu Xiaobao asked.

This is strange! Since he treated the village as his base, why did he still hate the people there? I really don't understand what kind of contradiction he's got in his heart. Du Jiangsheng smiled bitterly.

He's just a weirdo. No one knows what he's thinking, and he never tells anyone. He's just living like a mute! Niu Xiaobao sighed.

As they talked about Huang Dajian, they passed through a few woods and slowly entered a more secluded area. The woods were bigger and the trees denser, giving off a chill that made the place seem more eerie.

Why is this place so gloomy? Mo Yunqi could not help but ask in a low voice.

This is the place where the ancestors of the Huang An Village are buried. Normally, very few people would come here. Only when the time comes in the clear will there be people who come here to pay their respects! Niu Xiaobao asked.

Don't tell me that no one comes during festivals? Mo Yunqi asked.

No one came! This is because our ancestors left behind a rule that the more you celebrate the holidays, the more you must reunite at home. No one is allowed to leave your home! Niu Xiaobao asked.

Your village is really strange! Mo Yunqi smiled.

At this moment, there was a sudden Pu sound in the forest. Dozens of small birds suddenly flew into the air, scaring everyone. Mo Yunqi asked involuntarily, Are there wild beasts in the forest?

It's not a beast, it's a man! While Gu Yi Yang was speaking, he leaped forward and shouted from afar, Who are you? Why aren't you showing yourself?

Everyone saw him enter the forest and after saying that sentence, he stopped moving. They couldn't help but feel nervous and Mo Yunqi even let out a loud voice, Gu Yiyang, how are you? Why aren't you speaking?

As soon as he shouted, he heard Gu Yiyang say, Come and help, your brother has fallen into a pit!

The crowd was flustered after hearing what he said. They rushed forward and cleared the dense grass to find a path to walk. They finally found Gu Yiyang after running randomly in the middle of nowhere.

He was holding onto a small tree that was as thick as a wrist, and he was digging straight into the hole, while Mo YunZhou was strenuously carrying Peng Gao, slowly climbing up the hole. Seeing this, Meng Chunlou hurriedly lowered his body to pull him, and then he helped Mo Yunzhou climb up, and then he asked, How did you guys get here?

Mo YunZhou let out a bitter sigh, then said, After you were misunderstood, how could I just sit still and wait for death? So I took Old Master Peng to flee eastward, but I didn't expect him to fall into a pit. How unlucky!

This pit was dug by Huang Daxian. It's to prevent anyone from disturbing him! Niu Xiaobao asked.

Is that so? Then I must be really unlucky!" Mo Yunzhou bitterly sighed.

Xiaobao, how far is Huang Dajian's residence? Yan Jiuniang asked.

We're not too far away. We'll be there after a few more rows of trees! Niu Xiaobao asked.

There won't be any traps set up, right? Mo Yunzhou asked.

Yes! Niu Xiaobao smiled and said, But if you come with me, nothing will happen to you!

That's good. I don't want to be thrown again! Mo Yunzhou bitterly laughed, I was lucky this time around so I didn't break my leg. It's hard to say next time!

When Mo Yunqi heard this, she could not help but feel concerned. She quickly looked at Mo Yunzhou's leg and found that it was just a scratch that did not hurt her muscles and bones. Only then did she feel at ease.

Due to Mo Yunzhou's injuries, Meng Chun Lou carried Peng Gao on his back while Gu Yi Yang carried Mo Yunzhou on his back. The group of people followed behind Niu Xiaobao as they walked forward slowly.

After a few rounds, they finally arrived at a wide area. However, the house here was different from what Meng Chunlou and the others had imagined. The house was actually built on a tree!

Moreover, there were not only one house like this, but seven or eight of them that were built in a circle around a big tree. There were also vines growing from the trees, which perfectly blocked out the sunlight and made the house firmer.

Seeing this house, Mo Yunqi could not help but be shocked, and sincerely praised, My god! Such a house was too beautiful! Was this really designed and built by that Huang Dahan? He's simply a genius!

Niu Xiaobao smiled faintly and said, This is the house that he designed. He said that he would one day bring his beloved woman here to settle down and have a bunch of kids with him. Everyone would share a house like this, and he said that this is his life's work, so he will always remember this place!

This Huang Dajian, I really can't tell! Mo Yunqi said, It's a pity that he is now a dead man. Otherwise, I would really like to ask him, how did he come up with such a miraculous idea?

Don't be in such a hurry to exclaim in shock. When you enter the room later, you will realize that your exclamations earlier were completely unnecessary! Niu Xiaobao asked.

Oh? Mo Yunqi was slightly surprised, Could it be that the design inside is even more wondrous?

It's simply supernatural! Niu Xiaobao asked.

Then I really need to go in and take a look! Mo Yunqi spoke, and with a tap of her feet, she flew up to the front. However, she heard Niu Xiaobao shouting, Wrong! That's not the right way to do it!

When Mo Yunqi heard this, she couldn't help but jump down and ask, Then what is the correct way to get to the top room?

Follow me! As Niu Xiaobao spoke, he walked up to a large tree and pushed at it with his hand. The bark immediately caved in — it turned out that the tree was hollow!

Niu Xiaobao walked in and waved at the others. Then, he said, Come in, let's go up!

The crowd did not understand the meaning behind his words and walked in curiously. Niu Xiaobao reached out and restored the bark to its original state. He counted three times and said, One, two, three!

As soon as the word three came out of her mouth, everyone felt the board beneath their feet suddenly leave the ground with a creaking sound and slowly rise up with them. Mo Yunqi couldn't help turning pale with fright, and asked, What's going on? There won't be an earthquake, right?

This is an elevator invented by Huang Daxian. It's so fun! Niu Xiaobao explained with a smile.

CHAPTER 103 - PAST EVENTS

Niu Xiaobao gently pulled open the wooden door. Suddenly, the world opened up before his eyes and he saw many green vines hanging in front of him. They were intertwined with many bell-shaped flowers that bloomed in the wind, and looked very beautiful. Niu Xiaobao pushed open the vines and pointed forward, Come in!

As Mo Yunqi saw the scene in front of her, she was shocked and blurted out, Wow, this place is so beautiful!

It turned out that the large hall was filled with all sorts of flowers. Due to the color matching, the flowers didn't seem messy at all, especially those that seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally decorated with beautiful human faces. It made people unconsciously connect the dots.

Yan Jiuniang sighed slightly, saying, Could the owner of this beautiful face be the girl Huang Dajan likes?

That's right! Niu Xiaobao couldn't help but sigh. It's a pity that even though he liked this girl, he didn't get the chance to form a relationship with her!

Is someone like him worthy of being associated with such a beautiful girl? Gu Yiyang forced a smile and said, If they can really be together, then the heavens must be blind!

But they do love each other! Niu Xiaobao asked.

Oh? What exactly is going on? Mo Yunqi blinked, That Huang Da is as calm as a snake or a scorpion. Can this young lady fancy him?

Perhaps this girl has taken a liking to him only because he has deceived her! Mo Yunzhou said.

NO! He had not deceived this girl! In this world, no one except Huang Darian would lie to this girl! " Niu Xiaobao asked.

What makes you say that? Do you know him? Mo Yunzhou asked.

I don't know him, but I believe him! Niu Xiaobao frowned. In this world, no one can understand Huang Dahan because he doesn't need to be understood!

How could the girl have fallen in love with him if he had not been understood? Would a girl casually like a man she doesn't know?" Mo Yunqi smiled bitterly.

Because she is blind. Blind people can always see each other's strengths! Niu Xiaobao smiled bitterly.

Oh? Mo Yunzhou could not help but frown, I think I understand! Because that girl was blind, that's why she thought of Huang Dajan as a good person and fell in love with him!"

NO! That girl knew Huang Dajan from a long time ago, but she became blind afterwards! " Niu Xiaobao asked.

Maybe it was beautiful when we first met, which is why I always kept this beautiful in my heart! Mo Yunzhou said.

NO! That girl has been fond of Huang Dahan since the beginning! Niu Xiaobao asked.

When Mo Yunzhou heard this, he could not help but scratch his head and said, How is that possible?

When Du Jiangsheng heard this, he could not help but laugh and say, There is nothing hard to understand about this! That girl had liked Huang Dajian from the beginning because he knew that Huang Dajan was a good person. However, she never thought that her way of thinking about things would piss off some people, so they blinded her!

It can't be? Mo Yunqi asked in shock.

Niu Xiaobao nodded and said, He's right! That's the truth!

My God! There's such a thing? Mo Yunqi's face was full of surprise, You can speak of this matter slowly, I want to hear it clearly!"

Huang Daxian personally told me about this matter because I was his only listener and he treated me like a child who didn't know anything. That's why I had the chance to know about it! Niu Xiaobao thought about it carefully for a moment and slowly recounted the events of his past.

It turned out that the girl Huang Dajian liked was called Xiao Cui. Since she had no mother or father, she had drifted to Huang An Village and was adopted by a single old man. This was where she settled her family.

The year Xiao Cui died when her adoptive father was sick, she lived alone ever since, and that year Huang Dajan was 23 years old.

As the two of them were orphans, they were more or less looked down upon by others in the village. Thus, the two of them instinctively started to slowly get together due to being together.

During those years, Huang Dajian did do many evil deeds, and was often beaten and insulted by the villagers. Sometimes, he was even hung from a tree for a day, and if it wasn't for Xiao Cui who brought him food, he would have died at least sixteen times!

Perhaps it was due to Xiao Cui's kindness and gentleness, or perhaps it was due to the change in his age, the beautiful Xiao Cui finally had a chance to show her beauty. Huang Dajian finally developed a very complicated feeling when he was 25 years old, but he didn't know that it was called love!

He wanted to see her like that, he wanted to eat the food she cooked, he also wanted to see the sweet smile on her face, and the only thing he could not tolerate was seeing a worried look on Xiao Cui's face. He would even be depressed for a few days because of her unhappiness, but he just could not feel this change, until that rainy night …

Xiao Cui came to his room as usual, and brought him his favorite meal, it was just that the day's meal was very salty, and very bitter, and also had a hint of a paste taste, but no matter what, as long as it was made personally by Xiao Cui, he would eat it all, because the food inside contained Xiao Cui's heart!

Tomorrow, I will go to a place far away, and perhaps I will never come back! Although Xiao Cui spoke calmly, her expression was one of panic.

Why? Huang Dahan looked nervously at Xiao Cui, If you leave, what should I do?

Leave this place and find a suitable place for you to stay! Xiao Cui laughed bitterly, This place is not suitable for you!

Where are you going? Can you take me with you? Huang Darian asked.

No way! Xiao Cui's face was determined, Only I can go to that place!

No! I won't let you go!

Why do you say that, and why do you do it? Do I have anything to do with you? Xiao Cui asked.

Huang Dajian could not answer and he suddenly felt that drawing a clear line between him and Xiao Cui was a very painful thing. No matter how hard he tried, he could not understand why Xiao Cui would suddenly become so cold and aloof!

Did someone say something to you? Huang Darian asked.

No! Don't make wild guesses! " Xiao Cui said coldly.

Then why did you leave? What's wrong with this place? Huang Darian asked.

Everything here is good, except for the fact that there's one more you and one more me! Xiao Cui smiled indifferently, As long as I leave, this place will be at peace!

I understand! It must be those long-tongued women gossiping behind my back. Just you wait, I'll get even with them! As Huang Dahan spoke, he rushed out the door, only to see Xiao Cui grabbing onto him three times in a row. The only thing he could do was shout coldly, Get back here!"

I've long since disliked those long-tongued women. Now that they dare to randomly chew on your tongue, no matter what I say, I won't let them off lightly! I must cut their tongues! " Huang Dajian said angrily.

If you dare to go out and cause trouble, I'll smash my head into a wall here! Xiao Cui shouted coldly.

No! Huang Dajian scratched his head anxiously, Why are you making things so difficult for me? You know I'm not a very patient person!

From now on, you have to learn how to hold back your anger and swallow it. Don't ever go against others. If you can't beat them, the only one who will suffer will be you! Xiao Cui comforted gently, it sounded more like a warning!

I'm not afraid! Huang Darian patted his chest and said, Although my fighting skills aren't that good, I just want to beat them up. Those youngsters are no match for me!

Can you listen to me once? Xiao Cui asked coldly.

Xiao Cui, what's wrong with you today? Huang Dajian looked at Xiao Cui in confusion, Why does it sound like you're acting a little strange?

Do you think I'll ever come here again? After tonight, I won't come see you again. Can you give me some face and listen to me once?" Xiao Cui asked.

Xiao Cui, why must you leave? Huang Dajian was so anxious that he pounded his chest and stomped his feet, You grew up in the village and grew up here. If you leave here, where can you go?

I have my own home. You don't need to worry about it! Xiao Cui coldly replied, I only ask you, can you listen to me once?

Alright! Huang Dajian snapped, It's not like I've been reaped benefits from you twice over the years. I don't have any other advantages, but I know how to repay favors, and I promise you that!

Hearing that, Xiao Cui smiled, she stood up and slowly walked to the door, her face had a look of reluctance and helplessness, she said weakly: It's late, I should go back now!

Can we stay? Huang Darian asked.

No way! Xiao Cui smiled bitterly, I have my own home!

Huang Darian stood there in a daze, watching her walk past him all the way to the door. He was about to ask again when he heard a thump as she tripped on the doorstep!

Huang Darian let out a scream and quickly ran over. He held her in his arms and asked softly, Did you get injured from the fall? Does it hurt?

Xiao Cui looked at Huang Dahan gently, both hands tightly grabbing onto his arm. An indescribable bitter smile appeared on her lips as she said: It's too dark, I was careless! Help me up!

With some reluctance, Huang Darian helped her up and asked, Since it's dark, how about I send you back?

No need! Xiao Cui pushed Huang Dajan away and staggered into the rain. Just as she took three steps, she fell to the ground once again!

Huang Dajian finally realized that there was something wrong with her and quickly ran over to help her up. He asked with deep concern, What's wrong? Why were you so careless?"

Xiao Cui rubbed her painful knees, with tears in her eyes, she said: If I were to tell you, would you be able to be like what you promised me, and endure this humiliation?

Of course not! Huang Darian answered without thinking.

Looks like you're a liar! Xiao Cui looked coldly at Huang Dahan, her eyes filled with disdain and contempt!

Huang Darian clutched at his hair, wishing he could tear it off bit by bit. His heart was in turmoil, but after a long while, he finally said, Say it! I promise you, from now on, you will be a person who will endure grievances!"

My eyes are blind, I can't see anything! Xiao Cui laughed bitterly, But that is also good, in the future you don't need to look at the people you don't like!

Huh? Huang Dajian was greatly shocked, Just what is going on here? Who blinded you? I'll kill him! "

Xiao Cui grabbed Huang Dajian's arm and asked coldly, Did you forget what you said just now?

His nails had sunk into his flesh, but he was still unable to control the impact that the restless heart in his chest brought to his body. He was on the verge of collapsing, but he was unable to do the final burst!

It was not just because of Xiao Cui's hands, nor was it because of the heavy rain, but because of a promise, a promise that he would never dare to break!

I'm cold. Just hold me tight, okay? Xiao Cui asked with a trembling voice.

Huang Dajian did not answer, but held her tightly in his embrace, pressing his two hearts together. In an instant, the anger in his chest subsided, replaced by endless gentleness!

I can't bear to leave you. I really can't … Xiao Cui said gently, I think that I will never be able to like anyone else in my life, because I already have you in my heart!

Me too! Huang Dajian was furiously nodding his head. Although he wanted to pour out all his words, they were replaced by these three!

From now on, don't make any more friends, especially your girlfriend. I won't be happy if I know about this! Xiao Cui laughed.

Don't worry! Other than you, I have no other friends! " Huang Darian said.

Live well. When you get used to your responsibilities and live by yourself, I will come back to find you! Xiao Cui said.

It's a deal! Even though he clearly knew that he couldn't bear to part with Xiao Cui, he still couldn't bring himself to ask her to stay. After all, if she could really live well, why would he stop her? Was someone like him qualified to do so?

An, I'm very cold, too cold. Hug me tight … Xiao Cui's voice was getting softer and softer, until she could no longer hear anything!

Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui! Huang Darian waved Xiao Cui in his arms, but she no longer responded, Xiao Cui!

This shout was like a bolt of lightning, tearing through the sky, and like a clap of thunder, it angered the heavens. Countless raindrops fell on Huang Daxian's face, and in that moment, he suddenly aged and became weak, as if all his energy had been drained out, and his soul no longer remained in this body …

Why? He was asking Xiao Cui, he was asking himself, he was asking the heavens, he might be asking the masterminds behind this, but what he was waiting for was a thunderclap that was louder than the previous one, and the rain that was pouring down mercilessly, they were all ruthless and cold, domineering and hard to deal with, they all deserved to die, but they just had to exist!

Huang Dajian's heart felt like it was on the verge of death as he gazed into the endless sky. Suddenly, he heard a shrill voice resounding in his ears, and he cursed loudly, Who is it? Did his parents die at home? What are you yelling for in the middle of the night? Are we still going to let him sleep in peace?

CHAPTER 104 - MURDERER

With that roar, an oil-paper umbrella unsteadily walked over under the lead of the lantern. When Huang Dahan could clearly see the face beneath the umbrella, his eyes shone with an incomparable rage!

In that person's eyes, that anger had actually turned into viciousness. It scared her so much that she couldn't help but take two steps back. She asked in surprise, Why are you looking at me like that?

Wang Yumei, it has always been you who talked behind Xiao Cui's back, and it has always been you who envied Xiao Cui the most. Now that she has gone, do you feel lonely? Huang Darian asked coldly.

What are you talking about? Xiao Cui, she's dead? Impossible! Wang Yumei trembled in fear. How could she die? Why is she so stupid?

Isn't she always like this in your eyes? Huang Darian asked coldly.

What do you mean? Wang Yumei's face turned serious, You make it sound as if I killed Xiao Cui. What kind of person is that!

Even if it isn't you, you definitely have an idea behind your back! Huang Dajian stared coldly at Wang Yumei, Wang Yumei, you have such a vicious heart!

Huang Dajian, if you have the ability, then take out the evidence. Otherwise, don't you dare spout nonsense! Wang Yumei was angered until her lips turned purple, "That's right! I am a little jealous of Xiao Cui, but I am not in a position to take her life, since her life is useless to me!

Scram, I don't want to see you! Huang Darian turned to look at Xiao Cui, his face filled with tenderness, I believe that she doesn't want to see you either!

Huang Darian, you shameless! Wang Yumei shouted coldly.

Huang Dajian smiled bitterly and said, You did remind me of this!

He looked up at Wang Yumei slowly, and laughed: If you do not leave, I will chop off your head and use it as a stool. Presumably, Xiao Cui will not stop me, because she no longer has the ability to!

His voice was cold and intimidating. Wang Yumei shivered, turned around, and ran away like a madman. She even dropped her oil-paper umbrella and lantern!

Looking at her fleeing figure, Huang Dajian could not help but sneer. He turned to Xiao Cui and said in a low voice, Did you see that? They were just a bunch of paper tigers. So, you don't have to worry about me at all!

He slowly walked into the rain, into the endless darkness. No one knew where he was going, and no one dared to come out and stop him; after all, right now, no one dared to provoke Huang Dajian!

The next morning, Huang Dajian returned to the village. His body was dirty, and his face even more so. If it weren't for the fact that the villagers were familiar with him, it would have been impossible to discern his appearance.

He lowered his head and didn't say a word to anyone along the way, as if he was a fool. The moment he returned home, he blocked all the firewood in the yard and locked himself in his room. This pass took twenty years.

During this period, other than the times when he needed to go out, it was extremely difficult for people to see him. Some people even thought that he was dead, and some people didn't even remember that there was a Huang Dahan in the village!

It was a pity that she was raped by Huang Dajian after only three years of travel. For this reason, the villagers almost wanted to hang Huang Dajian alive, but Wang Yumei had to plead on his behalf to barely save his life. From then on, she did not dare to go, and Huang Dajian became even more violent, often bringing disaster to the villagers and becoming a black sheep in the village!

At this point, everyone could not help but sigh. Mo Yunqi sighed in disappointment, It's a pity that we did not catch Xiao Cui's killer, otherwise, Xiao Cui would not have died in vain!

When Mo Yunzhou heard this, he couldn't help but ask Niu Xiaobao, When Huang Dajian told you this story, did he tell you who killed Xiao Cui?

No! Niu Xiaobao shook his head. He seems to have some unspeakable difficulties. Every time I ask him, his expression is extremely unnatural, as if someone is digging out his heart!

Could it be that he knows who the murderer is, but he can't do anything to that murderer? Mo Yunqi asked.

Impossible! Gu Yi Yang touched his nose, If he knows who the murderer is, he would definitely take revenge for Xiao Cui. After all, 20 years is enough time for him to kill his enemy!

If we follow your logic and remember that he raped Wang Yumei, can we conclude that it was Wang Yumei who killed Xiao Cui? Meng Chun Lou asked.

"That's impossible! Didn't Wang Yumei say that? She is not the one who killed Xiao Cui! Mo Yunqi asked.

How many people would admit to killing someone? Meng Chun Lou smiled bitterly.

But, if it was really Wang Yumei's doing, then how could Huang Dajian just rape her? Mo Yunzhou asked.

You should have forgotten that before Xiao Cui died, Huang Dahan promised her that he would endure it and that he would not kill anyone just for her death! Meng Chunlou pondered for a moment, then continued, But to be indifferent to a murderer is not in line with Huang Dajian's principle. That's why he thought of a way to rape Wang Yumei. After all, doing so would ruin Wang Yumei's chastity, which is even more painful than killing her!

I don't agree with you, because if Huang Dajian really listens to Xiao Cui's orders, he should be the one to swallow his anger. How can he go and rape Wang Yumei again? He does not really like Wang Yumei, and from his actions later on, it can be seen that he was indeed like Xiao Cui had told him, a person who would swallow his anger and endure humiliation. That is why he was able to stay in the house for twenty years! Mo Yunqi asked.

Then who is the murderer? Mo Yunzhou was confused, A pitiful person like Xiao Cui, who would be willing to kill her?

I feel like the culprit is actually Wang Yumei! Du Jiangsheng lightly smiled, After all, she is the one who has the most motive!

Brat, your thoughts are exactly the same as Hero Meng's, but it's very difficult for Hero Meng to justify his explanation. Do you have a better explanation? Yan Jiuniang asked with a smile.

Du Jiangsheng muttered to himself for a moment and then laughed, Regarding this matter, we cannot use the eyes of an ordinary person to look at it. We have to put our heart into it!

Mind? Yan Jiuniang hesitated, How do I put in the effort?

Xiao Cui was obviously blinded by the poison, why is she still looking for Huang Dahan? Du Jiangsheng asked.

Of course it's to deliver food! Mo Yunqi replied.

Wrong! Du Jiangsheng lightly laughed, Since they're here to send us food, then why are they making such a mess?

Isn't she blind? Isn't it normal for a blind person to not eat well? Mo Yunqi asked.

Can the blind man find the Huang Da'an's house in the rain at night? Du Jiangsheng asked.

This … Mo Yunqi didn't know how to refute this.

The only explanation is that Xiao Cui already knew that she was poisoned, and she also knew that the poison could blind her, or even kill her, and she also knew who the murderer was, but she did not tell Huang Dajian, because she understood Huang Dajian best and understood his situation better than anyone else. So, he really wanted to tell Huang Dajian how to protect himself and how to let himself survive in Huang An Village. Du Jiangsheng said.

Then what kind of person would make Xiao Cui willing to die to persuade Huang Dajan to swallow his anger? Mo Yunqi asked.

Of course it's Wang Yumei! Du Jiangsheng said.

Why is it Wang Yumei again? Mo Yunqi curled her lips, I'm not optimistic about her at all!

If I were to say that two women fell in love with a man at the same time, you might understand! Du Jiangsheng smiled bitterly, The reason why Xiao Cui doesn't dare to tell Huang Dajian who the murderer is is is because Wang Yumei also deeply loves Huang Dajian. Xiao Cui knows that any woman who, for the sake of her beloved man, tried to harm her rival is worth forgiving. Secondly, it's because of Wang Yumei's lofty position in the village, even if she really killed Xiao Cui, no one would dare to do anything to her. If Huang Daxian went to provoke Wang Yumei for his sake, the result would be that he would lose his life, how could she bear to let Huang Dajian take the risk?

You said that Wang Yumei likes Huang Dahan? Mo Yunqi could not help but be shocked, That's impossible?

Why is it impossible? Once Xiao Cui died, she would bring food and drinks to Huang Dajian in place of Xiao Cui. The question was, if she did not like Huang Dajian, why did she do it? Du Jiangsheng asked.

Perhaps she felt ashamed of herself towards Xiao Cui, and felt even more sorry for Huang Dahan, so she wanted to use this method to make up for her regret! Yan Jiuniang said.

Even if that makes sense, but to say that Wang Yumei has a high position in the village, I don't understand. What kind of status could a weak woman have in the village? Mo Yunqi asked.

Her status is indeed very high! Niu Xiaobao frowned, "She is a very capable person, very good at making money, and also very generous. She often helps the villagers with the money she earns, and many people are very grateful to her. She even donated money to repair the ancestral hall in the village.

My god, Jiang Sheng was right again! I say, what is this little brain of yours actually made of? How can it be so useful like this?" Mo Yunqi smiled.

Du Jiangsheng smiled faintly and said: I also know why Huang Dajian raped Wang Yumei!

Oh? Tell me, then, why did he do it? Mo Yunqi asked curiously.

This is actually a trap! Du Jiangsheng smiled bitterly, The one who went up was actually Huang Dajan!

Huh? Mo Yunqi was so shocked that she couldn't even close her mouth, What nonsense are you spouting?

I'm not spouting nonsense. I'm analyzing the truth! Du Jiangsheng pulled back the smile on his face, That Wang Yumei really liked Huang Dajian. Once Xiao Cui died, she felt that she had an opportunity, but she never thought that in Huang Dajian's heart, Xiao Cui was his most beloved, and that no one can replace her. So, she has been waiting. After waiting for three years, she finally lost all patience!

And then? Mo Yunqi asked.

Then, she gave the food that was mixed with Yin Yang Joyous Powder to Huang Dajian, forcing him to do something shameless, which also explains why Wang Yumei would plead on Huang Dajian's behalf later on. It's because she knew very well in her heart that Huang Dajian was acting out of helplessness! Du Jiangsheng said.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel that it was too absurd. Yan Jiuniang was even more puzzled as she said, This is completely impossible! Because if Wang Yumei had feelings for Huang Dajian, why would she humiliate him so much after his death? Don't forget, she even slapped Huang Dajian a few times today!"

This is an act! Du Jiangsheng smiled bitterly, Think about it, Wang Yumei hasn't married in 20 years, how can people not suspect that there is something wrong with her? She had to find an excuse to excuse herself, so she pushed the blame onto Huang Dahan! After all, Huang Dajian did ruin her chastity, and now that she is dead, no one will pursue any more crimes!"

From what you're saying, the reason why she didn't marry anyone was because she was waiting for Huang Dahan to change his mind? Yan Jiuniang asked.

That's right! Du Jiangsheng said.

This is ridiculous! Huang Dajian was like a god of plague in the eyes of the villagers. Everyone avoided him because they were afraid of him, but how could Wang Yumei have a wishful thinking about him? And how is it possible to wait twenty years? Yan Jiuniang asked.

The reason why Huang Darian did all of this in the village was not because of his nature, but because of Xiao Cui's death. Du Jiangsheng frowned, He must have suspected some people, so he thought of ways to take revenge. However, he could never guess that the real murderer was actually Wang Yumei!

This is too pathetic! Yan Jiuniang couldn't
