Chapter 61 Shameless and Despicable
"This family is truly despicable! They do such immoral and outrageous things all the time. No wonder their son is deformed. They've done too many bad things, and now they're getting their comeuppance!" Lu Jinyan cursed as she took out two bottles of medicine from her spatial storage and asked Liu Xu and the others to help apply the medicine to Ruohan.
Human traffickers have always been hated. One trafficker can destroy several families. A neighbor's child from her hometown was also lost. After the child went missing, the child's mother went insane. A once happy family was destroyed just like that.
Whether it's trafficking children or adult men and women, it's all illegal. She couldn't just stand by and watch someone die!
While having Liu Xu and the others help treat the wound, Lu Jinyan asked Ruohan some questions. One reason was to find out the situation, and the other was to distract him, since there was almost no intact part of his body, and it would definitely hurt to treat it.
From Ruohan's intermittent narration, Lu Jinyan roughly learned what had happened.
This village is called Peach Blossom Village because every spring, the village and its surroundings are filled with blooming peach blossoms. Originally, the village was peaceful and the villagers lived in harmony. Because of this, many people were attracted to come here to visit, and the village's living conditions improved more and more.
This is similar to what that heartless old man Wang said, but things were different afterward. The original village chief was not old man Wang, but his father-in-law.
The old village chief had a beautiful and kind daughter named Yu Mei. One day, Yu Mei encountered the injured Wang Ye in the peach blossom forest. Feeling sorry for him, she took him back with her. Yu Mei hired a demon doctor to treat Wang Ye and took good care of him.
After Wang Ye recovered from his injuries, he said that he was homeless and had nowhere to go. Yu Mei's family saw that he was very kind, hardworking, and hospitable, so they took him in.
Wang Ye helped with some chores at Yu Mei's house. Because he had an honest and harmless appearance, the villagers got along well with him. Later, he and Yu Mei, the daughter of the old village chief, fell in love and got married with the blessings of everyone in the village.
The two were quite happy after getting married. Yu Mei became pregnant in the second year of their marriage, and the family was very harmonious. Every spring, many people from other places would come to visit, and Wang Ye, as the village chief's son-in-law, would often help entertain the guests.
One night, Yu Mei, who was in her late pregnancy, suddenly woke up from her sleep and found that her husband was not in bed. She wondered where he was if he was not sleeping at home so late.
So Yu Mei, heavily pregnant, went out to search. She didn't dare disturb her parents and secretly went out by herself. Not long after, she saw a scene in the peach grove not far from her home that she would never forget.
Her beloved husband, his kind and honest man, was now lying naked on top of a young girl. The girl lay quietly on the ground, her eyes vacant. Then she saw her husband snap the girl's neck with a crack.
Yu Mei trembled with fear. She wanted to run, but her legs wouldn't obey her. Afraid that Wang Ye would find her, she huddled behind a large peach tree, biting her lip tightly to keep quiet until Wang Ye calmly dressed and then left with the girl's body.
Yu Mei collapsed to the ground, but she didn't completely relax. Afraid that Wang Ye would find out she wasn't home when he got back, she endured the waves of pain in her stomach and the endless fear in her heart as she stumbled home.
Because of the fright, Yu Mei's stomach hurt terribly. When Wang Ye returned, he saw Yu Mei writhing in pain on the bed. He immediately became a good husband, hurriedly waking up the old village chief and his wife and going to fetch a midwife.
Yu Mei's baby was not yet full-term, and she was also frightened, almost losing both her and her unborn child. Fortunately, they survived in the end.
Yu Mei was still terrified after giving birth, but she dared not show it, fearing that Wang Ye might do something to her parents. The next day, someone discovered that the girl was missing, and everyone in the village went to help search for her. No one knew what method Wang Ye had used, but after searching for a long time, they still couldn't find the girl.
Wang Ye eventually noticed Yu Mei's unusual behavior and threatened her that if she dared to tell anyone, he would kill her entire family, including her newborn daughter. Yu Mei was in great pain every day, but she still dared not say anything.
Not long after, Yu Mei's mother passed away from illness. Yu Mei was heartbroken, and coupled with the daily torment she endured from Wang Ye, she became somewhat mentally unstable.
The following year, another brother and sister went missing. Yu Mei witnessed Wang Ye, that beast, defile the two siblings and then break their necks. After that night, Yu Mei went mad, talking nonsense all day long. But even though she was mad, Wang Ye still tormented her every night.
To outsiders, even though his wife was insane, Wang Ye still took good care of her and loved her dearly. Because people had gone missing for two consecutive years, fewer and fewer people came to visit the village, and their income was getting lower and lower.
The old village chief also fell seriously ill because of this incident, and there was no cure. He passed away not long after. After the village chief's death, everyone elected Wang Ye as the current village chief. Everyone thought that with the new village chief in charge, the village would get better day by day. But who knew that this was just the beginning of their nightmare.
Not long after the old village chief died, someone found Yu Mei's body in a forest. Wang Ye was devastated by the loss of his beloved wife and fell seriously ill. No one knew why Yu Mei's body was in the forest, and no one suspected Wang Ye. They just assumed that Yu Mei had gone mad, ran away, and died in the mountains.
The year after Yu Mei's death, Wang Ye remarried, taking Qiong Hua as his current wife. Since Wang Ye and Qiong Hua got married, disappearances have been frequent in the village, and no one has any clues, so everyone is in a state of panic.
As time went on, people realized that Wang Ye was not as good as they thought. When the old village chief was still alive, he pretended in every way, but after the old village chief passed away, he slowly revealed his true nature.
Treacherous, cunning, and tyrannical, the villagers hated them to the core, yet were powerless to do anything about it. Firstly, Wang Ye possessed some magical abilities, while the villagers lacked them and dared not provoke him. Secondly, Wang Ye was ruthless. Anyone who crossed him would suffer broken arms and legs—the worst that could happen was death. Furthermore, he had a good relationship with the town's powerful official, so even if they reported him to the authorities, it would be useless.
