CHAPTER 107: CHAPTER 107: HEMU VILLAGE (PART 7)

She raised her eyes and saw a Peach Wood Sword piercing into the abdomen of the Corpse Demon.

It was the Peach Wood Sword belonging to Gouzi Country’s leader Gongben!

Lin Xiaoyan’s eyes widened, her heart tightening, surely Gouzi Country won’t solve the Corpse Demon this time?

Gongben wore a face full of strategical confidence as he looked at the Corpse Demon landing before him.

He glanced smugly at Xuan Er, they were definitely going to win this time!

Just when everyone thought the Corpse Demon had been dealt with, the surroundings suddenly changed.

The entire space seemed to be twisting...

Everyone quickly became alert, looking around cautiously.

Moments later, the initially pitch-black Hemu Village suddenly brightened with daylight, sounds of roosters crowing, dogs barking, cows and sheep bleating, and people talking resonated one after another...

Lin Xiaoyan still sat on the ground, stunned as she looked around, what was going on?

She turned her head to where the Corpse Demon had been, all the people had vanished!

Fear instantly gripped her heart, although the current Hemu Village seemed much warmer compared to the night-time Hemu Village, the abnormal situation suggested something sinister, which was even more terrifying, boohoo... I really want to go home!

At this moment, Lin Xiaoyan was shouting powerlessly in her heart; down at the mountain hotel, Zhou Qin had already packed her luggage, ready to leave this place and go home.

The past few days’ experiences made her see the ugliest sides of human nature!

She also realized how stupid she had been before!

Her supposedly good friend, in her time of humiliation, actually joined those demons in verbally abusing her, blaming her for ruining the wedding...

Thankfully, the police arrived just in time, otherwise... she might have had a fight to the death with those people!

Actually, when the bride contacted her, she was still following up on a project and couldn’t leave at all.

At that time, the bride kept persuading her, saying she was her best friend and wanted her to witness her wedding...

Zhou Qin thought about it, it was truly ridiculous; she pulled several all-nighters, came to be the bride’s maid of honor, and since stepping off the plane, she hadn’t received any respect.

No one came to pick her up, no one prepared a maid of honor dress, no accommodations...

Thinking back now, Zhou Qin really wanted to scold her past self, they had gone to such lengths and she still didn’t leave, still thinking it was because they were busy with the wedding and had no time to arrange for her, tsk, so stupid!

"Sigh..."

Zhou Qin’s gaze turned towards Min Mountain, this time the police arrived timely, it should be thanks to that girl who reported, "Thank you."

Zhou Qin softly expressed her thanks, feeling deeply grateful.

At the time when demons pressed her onto the ground, she saw the bride glance and then decisively turned away, her heart had plunged into extreme despair.

Thankfully, the police came and rescued her, thankfully...

Zhou Qin glanced at her phone and decided to give those bastards one final blow before leaving!

She opened Douyin and started filming...

When Zhou Qin returned home, news about "a girl who traveled far to be a maid of honor for her good friend, only to encounter a wedding disturbance, almost being..." became the day’s headline.

For a time, there was intense online discussion about it.

People once afflicted by wedding disturbances began to stand up.

[Can I just say, back then I was terrified of getting married due to our village’s wedding disturbances, so I’ve always been afraid of marriage?

When I think of getting married and being disturbed by those people... forget it, being single is good!]

[When I was young, I saw my aunt being bullied by a group during her wedding; my aunt’s family was furious, wanting to take her away, while the villagers said my aunt was being unreasonable... sigh...]

[Wedding disturbances are a vile custom and ought to be banned!]

[Some bastards exploit wedding disturbances to do evil, shamelessly claiming it’s a tradition afterwards! Tsk!]

[Fortunately, my husband insisted on not having any chaos at our wedding; I feel I dodged a bullet!]

[Sigh, I often see accidents caused by wedding disturbances; after so many accidents, why do some people keep doing this? It really should be banned!]

[This bride is also a beast, the maid of honor traveled so far to help you, yet you didn’t protect her and even joined in the accusations; damn, if it were me, I’d have slapped them a long time ago!]

[Anyone know the bride? I want to go curse her!]

[I know the groom’s family, they’re from the village next to mine; my mom told me last night that the wedding that day was very intense, the maid of honor almost got...]

[Damn! Where are these beasts? I’m going to confront them!]

...

Lin Xiaoyan had no idea about the situation outside, she now seemed completely isolated from the world.

She watched everything happening in Hemu Village like watching a movie...

Currently, due to the village being deep in the mountains, Hemu Village’s men always had difficulty finding brides.

Now that society is developed, girls strive to move out; who wants to marry into a mountain hollow?

Living in the mountains, life will remain unchanged for a lifetime.

With Hemu Village’s men unable to find brides, they have no choice but to "buy" wives!

Initially, the "bought" wives were beaten and starved a few times and then became obedient.

But as time went by, the wives "bought" in recent years became very unruly.

It’s said that with knowledge and brains, such children are clever, but no matter how long these wives stayed here, they constantly thought about leaving.

To prevent these people from escaping and calling the cops, Hemu Village people generally took measures; upon discovering any intention of escaping, they directly killed them, throwing them into dried-up wells.

Liu Dan was "bought" into Hemu Village four years ago.

With her good looks, Liu Dan attracted much contention among the village men after being "bought" then.

Eventually, through drawing lots (whoever bid higher), it was decided to send her to Zhang Mu’s home.

Zhang Mu’s family only had Zhang Mu; he became deaf and mute after a fever in childhood.

Lin Xiaoyan saw Liu Dan being tied into Zhang Mu’s house.

Zhang Mu took out a bag of cash and handed it to the village chief.

Following that, Lin Xiaoyan saw Liu Dan at Zhang Mu’s house, neither insulted nor beaten; instead, Zhang Mu carefully cared for Liu Dan.

Then the scene changed again, Lin Xiaoyan saw Liu Dan seemingly accepting Zhang Mu, the two of them became a couple.

But seeing this scene, Lin Xiaoyan felt instinctively uneasy, how could Liu Dan accept Zhang Mu? She was forcibly brought here; no matter how good this person might be, would she willingly stay in this village?

Sure enough, what followed was Lin Xiaoyan watching Liu Dan escape...

During her escape, Liu Dan was inevitably caught.

Having been caught again, due to Liu Dan’s outstanding appearance, after discussion, the village decided to keep Liu Dan.

This time, though, Liu Dan couldn’t be sent back to Zhang Mu’s house, because Zhang Mu couldn’t manage her.

It was ultimately decided that Liu Dan would reside in the ancestral hall.

Upon learning she was to live in the ancestral hall, Liu Dan looked at Zhang Mu fearfully, but Zhang Mu was forced to leave by the village chief.

The ancestral hall was a nightmare for all the "bought" women.

Subsequently, Lin Xiaoyan watched as one man after another entered and exited the ancestral hall day and night...

Witnessing this scene, Lin Xiaoyan’s heart throbbed with pain; she clenched her teeth, angrily glaring at these men.
