Chapter 218 Selling Niece
Fangjia Village couldn’t find anything. A member of the patrol team led four students back to Wangjia Village and guarded there. The remaining patrol team member and the four members of Tang Yue's team asked the surrounding villagers to borrow a few houses. The five of them were guarding the village tonight.
Five people were discussing in the room, and Tang Yue said: "The house at the end of the village is very suspicious. Although the village woman's words are perfect, it is because of this that it makes people even more suspicious."
The man at the end of the village is very suspicious. The young woman had scars on her body. She must have been abused for many years and had not had much contact with people. She stumbled when answering questions and sometimes couldn't speak clearly. However, when she talked about the day her husband died, she suddenly became fluent and her words became clear. It is much clearer, as if I have prepared answers in advance.
But the monks were not allowed to torture mortals, let alone search for souls. Since they could not find any other evidence, they had no choice but to let the woman go and observe in secret.
The patrol team put a mark on the woman's body, and the five of them pretended to rest tonight. If the woman has a ghost in her heart, she will not be able to help but act tonight. The village knew little about the monks and it was tempting to assume that they were actually sleeping.
Sure enough, at midnight, the woman left home and walked out of the village. After thinking about it, the patrol team asked Tang Yue and Shang Fanling to stay in the village. He, Tu Wenzhou, and Xu Tianwen went to follow the woman. This way the combat power is more average.
Everyone had no objections, so they split up.
Senior Sister Shang discussed the affairs of this village with Tang Yue, "I feel that the women in this village are very strange, and the men on the road dare to stare at us maliciously." She is a talented monk, She has been valued by her elders since childhood, and men also respect her. Occasionally, when she encounters male cultivators who look down on female cultivators, they will also be concerned about her strength.
Tang Yue thought of some news in modern society and sighed, "Probably because of poverty. Poor mountains and rivers lead to unruly people. I asked the villagers and they can only rely on growing some inferior herbs and some Living on food, we have to go into the mountains to hunt for herbs from time to time, which makes our life very hard.”
Senior Sister Shang thought for a while, "I never thought that poverty could turn people into such hateful faces."
Suddenly, a sharp cry for help came from outside the house, which sounded like it was coming from a girl. Tang Senior Sister Yue went out to check the situation and rushed to another street where the sound was coming from. There were about ten people gathered there. They were tying up a girl who was struggling fiercely. She looked to be only 12 or 13 years old.
The girl turned around and saw Tang Yue and Shang Fanling, the immortal master she had met during the day. She hurriedly said loudly: "Sister Fairy, save me, I don't want to marry a fifty-year-old bachelor."
< br>Both of them were surprised when they heard this. Tang Yue asked the villagers to stop and asked what happened. A strong man stepped forward and said, "Master Immortal, this woman is Fang Mao's bride. They are getting married today. What a happy event."
Tang Yue said coldly: "This girl is only twelve or thirteen years old and has not yet had her hair. How can she get married?"
The young man said: "A country man? We got married early. You don’t know that Fang Mao paid the bride price. Both families have agreed that the bride is here tonight.”
“Are you doing something bad as a gift to the bride?” , does it need to be so late at night?" Tang Yue almost understood what was going on.
“This is the custom of our village, everyone is like this.” The male villagers present agreed.
After a while, an old woman came out of the house on the side of the road and brought a man who looked to be in his fifties. She knelt down and begged: "Master, this is really our home. I have saved a lot of money to marry a daughter-in-law, and I am waiting for her to carry on the family line, otherwise my family will be divorced."
The girl struggled: "I don't want to get married, I don't want to." Everyone wanted to cover it up. The girl's mouth, but she didn't dare.
Tang Yue didn't want to say any more and asked the group of villagers, "Who is this girl's family?"
These people all looked at a man, who walked out hesitantly, "What can I do for Master Immortal?" "
"How much did you get for selling this girl?"
"It's not a sale, it's a gift. The Fang family wants to give us half a piece of silver before entering the wedding room. "
Shang Fanling frowned, "You sold the child for half a dollar. Who are you?"
"I am her uncle. This child has a hard life. He lost it when he was young. Mom and Dad, I have raised her so far, and now that she has married into a good family, I feel relieved."
Tang Yue looked at the man in his fifties kneeling on the ground, and then looked at the one they came out of. It’s a shabby house, and I don’t think it’s a “good family” at all. "Let's do this. I'll give you a piece of silver. I think your niece is pretty good. She just happens to be a handyman disciple in our Immortal Mountain, an outer disciple or something like that. She will be more secure throughout her life."
< br>The uncle's eyes lit up when he heard a piece of silver, but when he looked at the fierce men in this village, he flinched, "This is not good, I promised their family."
"This has What's wrong, isn't it because I haven't given you the money yet? This means that the transaction has not been established yet, you can go back on it, anyway, you are just trying to find a home for your niece, right?"
As Tang Yue spoke, he picked up a stone on the side of the road and crushed it into powder, which shocked the men.
The man opposite had some impatience in his eyes. They usually dislike women the most. They were just worried that they were immortal masters and came with many men. They didn’t want to cause trouble, but they didn’t think so. This little girl, this young woman is going to be great.
Now that they saw that this little girl had such strong hands and could crush stones into powder without changing her expression, they all took a step back.
"Then it's settled, I'll take this girl away." Tang Yue handed the silver to her uncle and took the little girl from the hands of the male villager.
The man kneeling on the ground was anxious: "Master Immortal, you can't take away my wife, she will bear my son."
The old woman also said: "Our Fang family is going to be extinct."
Tang Yue sneered, "Your whole village is named Fang, and they are all Fang family members. If you are going to be extinct, they can continue to pass on the family line."
The people in Fangjia Village looked ugly after hearing this. Although that was what they said, if every family was like this, there would be fewer and fewer people in their village.
"Okay, let's leave this matter as it is. Why don't you go back to sleep? Don't make any noise here, otherwise it will attract ghosts."
The villagers looked scared and said, "Come out." Got a ghost? ”
"Otherwise, what are we doing here? There is a lost soul in Wangjia Village. We came to Fangjia Village to find out the matter. If you don't believe me, just ask the Wang family."
People from Fangjia Village watch To the man named Wang, he had to explain: "There are indeed some people in our village who have lost their souls, so the village chief went to Wuji Mountain and asked these monks to investigate."
The leading man said: " Why didn't you tell me earlier? If we had known that your Wangjia Village was so unlucky, we would never have wanted the women from your Wangjia Village. Maybe the men who died in the village were all because of marrying your Wang family's daughter."
< br>A villager said: "It seems that the families with the dead people did marry daughters of the Wang family." After he reminded them, everyone remembered that this was indeed the case and quickly distanced themselves from the Wang family.
"Has anyone died in your village recently?" Tang Yue felt that this matter was very important.
The leading man hesitated for a moment, then confessed: "It is true that several men died mysteriously, either falling from the mountain, or being hit by a sudden falling heavy object, and some encountered... The ferocious beasts in the mountains, we thought it was bad luck for them. "
Tang Yue asked these people about the date of their death, and they all got it right. It should be the date when the people in Wangjia Village lost their souls. What connection.
A person in the crowd rushed to them, knelt down and cried and begged: "Master Immortal, help me, I also married a daughter of the Wang family, will something happen to me?"
Tang Yue looked at this man and found that his hall was darkened, which was indeed a sign of disaster: "Have you done anything evil?"
He looked like he was about to be punished by God. In these days, He will die suddenly in the day.
