Chapter 78 Fairy Sister
Unexpectedly, they still went in. Later, Old Master Zhou's madness relapsed, and he was insane all day long. When Master Kang led people to surround the Wang family and notified the villagers to identify the people, Old Master Zhou also went along insanely.
Then he immediately recognized his granddaughter in the crowd. It turned out that the day before, Sect Leader Kang had led his men to surround the Wang family and searched the Wang family's house, finding many things and a locked courtyard inside.
After the courtyard gate was opened, everyone was shocked by what they saw. There were five naked young women locked up in the courtyard. They were all emaciated and had dull eyes. Their limbs were locked with thick iron chains. There was also an old woman with only one eye in the courtyard.
According to the old woman's confession, these five women were all Wang Lin's concubines. After he brought them back, he fed them drugs to control them and then locked them in this courtyard. She herself had been abducted by the Wang family.
After she was abducted, she was imprisoned here and put in charge of taking care of these five people. Wang Lin would come to this courtyard every one or two days, and each time he would stay for a day, torturing the five people before leaving.
Sometimes Wang Ye would come too. Rather than saying these five women were Wang Lin's concubines, it would be more accurate to say they were playthings of the Wang father and son. The two were utterly depraved. Every time they left, the five women were covered in injuries, and she would be responsible for applying medicine to them and feeding them.
She had pleaded for them before, but all she got in return was torture from the Wang father and son. They were beasts; they wouldn't even spare an old woman like her. They... they actually...
That eye of hers was gouged out when Wang Linxing was on her head. After that, she dared not say anything more. The old woman also said that several groups of people had come and gone from this courtyard. Some girls were too weak to withstand the torture inflicted by the father and son and died. They would then throw the bodies into the dry well in the courtyard and bring back another person to fill the vacancy.
Among the five women was Old Master Zhou's underage granddaughter. Sect Leader Kang cured them of the poison, but because they had taken the drug for a long time, the poison had seeped into their bones, and even though it was cured, their mental state was not quite normal.
Master Kang notified the villagers to come and identify the girl so that he could take her back. Old Master Zhou happened to be awake at that time and recognized Zhou Cui at a glance.
Grandpa Zhou took Zhou Cui back to his residence, but Zhou Cui's mental capacity had regressed to that of a young child; she remembered nothing of what had happened before.
Old Master Zhou had probably heard from others that the Wang family was captured thanks to Lu Jinyan, so he came to the Wang family's gate every day to wait, hoping to see his benefactor. Heaven rewards the diligent, and he finally saw her today.
After hearing Chu Chu's words, Lu Jinyan trembled with anger. "Beast! Beast! Zhou Cui is still a child. How could he do this?"
Ruohan's expression was also not good. He knew better than anyone what kind of people the Wang family father and son were. During the years he was imprisoned, the Wang family father and son would come to the dungeon every now and then to humiliate the women imprisoned there, regardless of their age, according to their own whims.
He tried to stop them, but all he got in return was a beating. He had no demonic power, and his wounds healed slowly. He spent more than half a year in the dungeon that time. Later, he couldn't even move and could only watch helplessly as those poor women were humiliated.
Lu Jinyan felt a fire burning inside her. She hated herself for fainting so early. Otherwise, she would have cut off the thing between the Wang family father and son's legs, chopped it up, and fed it to the dogs!
With red eyes, Lu Jinyan helped Grandpa Zhou up and said, "Grandpa Zhou, you don't need to thank me. This is what I should do. I believe that even if it wasn't me, anyone else would have done the same in this situation!"
Lu Jinyan thought to herself, wasn't it the female lead who did it in the original story? But she was a little curious. The female lead wasn't her. She didn't have a space or any cheat codes, so she dared to tear up the talisman and destroy the formation. How did the female lead manage to do it? It wasn't written in the original text, so Lu Jinyan had no idea.
"My benefactor, if it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have seen my Cui'er again before I died! Thank you, thank you so much, you are my great benefactor!"
"Grandpa Zhou, there's really no need to thank me. It's getting cold, let me help you back!" Lu Jinyan raised her head, forcing back the tears that were about to spill from her eyes, and helped Grandpa Zhou walk towards his residence.
The place where Grandpa Zhou lived was a dilapidated house with a leaky roof and drafty walls. Standing by the half-collapsed wall, Lu Jinyan saw a little girl in the yard wearing tattered clothes and barefoot, building a snowman.
She was thin and small, with sunken cheeks and waxy yellow hair. Her hands and feet were red from the cold, but she was happily building a snowman. The little girl had a smile on her face, and that smile deeply pierced Lu Jinyan's heart. She unconsciously walked towards the little girl.
"Fairy! Are you Fairy Sister? Fairy Sister, why are you crying?" Zhou Cui looked at the woman who suddenly appeared and looked like a fairy with great curiosity.
“Fairy sister, don’t cry. Did someone bully you? How about Cui’er goes and beat him up for you?” Zhou Cui tilted her head, her eyes, which bulged out because she was too thin, were very bright.
"Sister is fine, she probably just got some snow in her eyes!" Lu Jinyan sniffed and squatted down in front of Zhou Cui.
"Then let me rub your eyes for you, Fairy Sister, and it will be fine!" Zhou Cui wiped her hands on her body and then gently touched Lu Jinyan's eyes. Her hands were very cold, icy cold, but at this moment, Lu Jinyan felt exceptionally warm.
"Sister is alright now, thank you Cui'er!" Lu Jinyan held back her tears, took off her cloak and draped it over Zhou Cui's shoulders. She then took out a pair of shoes from her spatial storage and put them on for her herself.
"It's so cold outside, remember to wear more clothes when you go out, and also, remember to wear shoes, otherwise you'll get sick, understand?" Lu Jinyan stroked Zhou Cui's head tenderly, her hands trembling.
"Cui'er understands, Cui'er will listen to Fairy Sister. Fairy Sister, please don't cry anymore, or you won't be pretty anymore!" Zhou Cui looked at the person in front of her and smiled.
She reached out and touched the cloak she was wearing, then looked down at her new shoes and happily called out to Lu Jinyan, "Grandpa, Grandpa, look! Fairy Sister came to our house! She even gave me clothes and shoes! They're so pretty!"
