Chapter 34 Zhao Xi’s Wife (3,000 words updated)

Pei Shiqing was lying on the bed that was simply set up on a wooden frame, sleeping very soundly, but Fan Yucheng beside him couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning.

She thought the whole thing was too magical. She just tried on clothes in the fitting room and ended up in this strange place.

She tried calling the inspector, but it didn't work. She tried calling her parents, but it didn't work either. There was only Pei Qing.

And she really came to find herself.

Fan Yucheng looked at Pei Shiqing's sleeping face. It seemed that no matter what happened, Pei Qing could solve it well. She seemed to be omnipotent.

At this moment, there was a burst of noise outside the door.

Pei Shiqing opened his eyes in an instant, and there was no trace of confusion in his eyes when he woke up, as if he had not fallen asleep at all.

Fan Yucheng was startled, but Pei Shiqing was already ready to go out.

The morning light has emerged outside, and the sky is blue.

There was a couple making a noise outside the door. The woman was holding a ball of cloth tightly in her hands, but the man was trying to snatch the cloth back from her arms.

"What are you doing?" Fan Yucheng asked curiously.

The man ignored the woman's pleading and forcefully snatched the piece of cloth from her hand. At this moment, a faint cry of a baby came from inside the cloth.

There's a baby in there!

Fan Yucheng went directly to stop him, "What do you want to do?"

The man looked at her fiercely, "Whose daughter-in-law are you? This is beyond your control? Get out of here!"

"Please, she is your child too!" The woman crawled and grabbed the man's feet, but was kicked away by the man. "I tell you Liu Han, don't anger me, or I will let you

Sleeping in a pigsty every day!”

"You will be punished." Pei Shiqing looked at him.

The man ignored Pei Shiqing at all, walked directly to the surging river, and threw the baby out with a slight wave, as if he was throwing away garbage, with great ease.

Fan Yucheng grabbed Pei Shiqing's arm, "Why don't you save her!"

Pei Shiqing gently exhaled a breath and said, "That baby is already dead."

Fan Yucheng's expression froze, "When?"

"When she cried for the last time." Pei Shiqing looked at the still rushing river. Just now, she found that she could see something.

There were two baby spirits crawling on the man's body, and just after the baby girl cried, one more... appeared on his body.

"Fan Yucheng, we can't save him," Pei Shiqing said again.

"What..." Fan Yucheng looked at her confused.

"Didn't you notice? There are no TVs, no mobile phones, not even electric lights here." Pei Shiqing looked at Fan Yucheng seriously, "This... is the past, we can't change it."

"And what if you save her now? That man won't give up until he throws her away. Can you look after her for the rest of his life? When the next baby girl is born, they will still face the same fate. If you save her,

But don’t come.”

"But." Fan Yucheng looked at the cloth that had drifted away.

But that is a life!

Pei Shiqing knew what she was thinking, but he just touched her head and said: "Ignorance here, but this is the previous era."

Perhaps Fan Yucheng felt that he was cold-blooded, but Pei Shiqing just tore apart the cruelty of reality and spread it in front of her, and she was powerless to change it.

Pei Shiqing is still the same Pei Shiqing as before. She is still kind. If she hadn't known that the baby was dead, she would have snatched the baby back regardless.

But now that the matter has come to this, there is nothing more to say.

And she wants to live, they want to live.

The mother of the baby girl had passed out on the ground, and there was still blood under her body. She was afraid that she would run out and snatch the baby from her husband right after giving birth, but how could she be so weak and snatch it away from a strong man?

At this moment, the woman on the ground has been roughly dragged back home by the man. He doesn't treat the woman like a wife, but more like a lifeless commodity.

Fan Yucheng's mood was very low, and she walked back silently.

Pei Shiqing looked at the increasingly lively village around him, but the people coming out were all men, not women.

After seeing Pei Shiqing, some of them looked her up and down with undisguised eyes, as if they were looking at a commodity.

One of the men with a mustache came over and said, "Are you newly bought by Boss Zhao?"

Pei Shiqing looked at him coldly, "If you don't want to die, stay away from me."

"Hey! Xiao Lang Hoozi..." He rolled up his sleeves as if he wanted to hit Pei Shiqing, but he was given a shovel by a thin man next to him.

"Er Zhuzhu, this person is appointed by the Queen Mother Wang. Did the old village chief tell us yesterday not to mess with her?"

Balihu suddenly became frightened and seemed to be afraid of the old village chief.

And that thin man was Zhao Jin. When Pei Shiqing followed Goddess Wang out of the ancestral hall, Zhao Jin happened to see him, so he recognized him immediately.

Zhao Jin didn't know what magical powers this girl had, but he could clearly see the hand that Goddess Wang showed yesterday.

Even Grandma Wang wanted to ask her to perform rituals, and they didn't dare to offend her easily.

He saw the female ghost yesterday very clearly. Their village was really haunted!

For the sake of his own life, he couldn't mess with Pei Shiqing, but had to provide for her properly.

Pei Shiqing knew that she didn't have to be afraid of these people now in the village with the help of Goddess Wang.

But there is still no clue as to how to return to reality.

Chen Mingyue and Qian Yun also disappeared, probably back to the previous cave.

And she is at this moment...

Pei Shiqing looked at the men chatting next to the big tree.

She was being watched at the moment. It was probably Boss Zhao who sent someone here because he was afraid of her escaping.

Then she can't go to the people in the cave.

The current clues are that people in this village are suspected of kidnapping, preferring boys over girls, and will throw baby girls into the river.

But what Pei Shiqing is more curious about is who died and turned into a ghost to take revenge on the villagers.

But looking at the level of xenophobia in the village, it seemed difficult for her to find useful clues, and there were no women in the village.

No, it’s not that there are no women, maybe they have kept them at home.

Pei Shiqing thought about it and finally decided to go to Goddess Wang. She must know a lot.

"Where does Grandma Wang live?" She ran directly to the person watching her next to the big tree.

The man didn't seem to expect to be discovered by Pei Shiqing, and he wanted to defend himself, but found that he was just asking for directions, "She lives at the old village chief's house."

"take me."

The man didn't refuse, so he probably had orders from above.

Pei Shiqing knocked on the door and walked in.

There were two people in the room, one was Mrs. Wang, and the other was a man in his fifties with a goatee.

The man's eyebrows were sinister, and his eyes looking at Pei Shiqing seemed to have no emotion at all, and were cold.

It seems that he is the old village chief, who is indeed much scarier than Boss Zhao.

"This is the person you said can help us?" He looked at Pei Shiqing and then said.

Grandma Wang nodded, "This is the last time I will help you, and we will never owe each other anything."

"Of course, but you have to help me deal with the things in the river."

The crutch in Grandma Wang's hand tapped heavily on the ground, and then she said angrily, "You bastards, I told you not to commit murder."

"What happened to those girls? My old wife is also a girl, don't you still have to rely on me to survive?!"

The old village chief smiled and said, "I am doing it for the good of our village and leading the whole village to get rich! When our village becomes rich, we will not do such evil things."

He said and glanced at Pei Shiqing, "I hope you won't reveal what happened in our village, otherwise I don't care who you are, you won't leave our village!"

Pei Shiqing nodded obediently.

He thought to himself: It sounds nice, but don’t reveal anything. The old village chief obviously doesn’t want her to leave the village. He only keeps her now because she still has value.

"Okay, let's prepare for the river ceremony tomorrow. I will go and save the souls at the bottom of the river. You go and prepare!"

Grandma Wang drove the old village chief away, and now there were only two people left in the house.

"Grandma Wang, I'll get straight to the point. I don't know why you need me, but since I'm still of some use, you have to tell me something to prepare me, right?" Pei Shiqing sat on the wooden stool, sitting upright.

Goddess Wang smiled, looked at her and sighed: "I really want to take you as my disciple, but it's a pity that you are not from our era."

The expression on Pei Shiqing's face froze, this Goddess Wang was quite capable.

Goddess Wang did not dwell too much on this matter, but said to Pei Shiqing: "I heard this Zhao Tieshu say that the person who died was Zhao Xi's wife, and she was hanged."

"Oh, Zhao Tieshu is the village chief of Fengxiu Village, the one who went out just now."
