Chapter 1839 Return to Wuming Village
Chapter 1839 Return to Wuming Village
"Ten days ago." Yang Afu's eyes were filled with pain, as if he had returned to the night when the village was massacred. "Those people had a clear purpose. They killed anyone they saw, even newborn babies."
When he said this, his pain turned into tears rolling down his cheeks. "I heard from the village chief that you two have special status, so in order to prevent you from causing trouble to our village, he deliberately let you go, but I didn't expect you two to be so cruel."
"Whether you believe it or not, we didn't massacre the village. There is a misunderstanding." Half a month after Wan Shufang heard what he said, she began to think that someone had noticed their identities and deliberately chose this time to destroy Wuming Village.
After a storm of thoughts, she felt that it was impossible. If those people wanted to do this, they should have come to kill them. Why would they involve a secluded village?
Wan Shufang suppressed all kinds of thoughts in her heart and pointed out: "After my husband and I came out of Wuming Village, we encountered human traffickers and a dog official. For nearly a month, my husband and I have been dealing with this matter."
"If you don't believe it, you can go out and ask the people. They can definitely testify for us."
Yang Afu couldn't hear her words, and said with hatred on his face: "If you are willing, these people will automatically lie for you two."
"It seems that no matter what we say, you won't listen." Chen Changli saw that Yang Afu couldn't be persuaded, and his heart was complicated. "Yang Afu, my husband and I once made a promise to the village chief, that is, we would forget about Wuming Village after we left."
"Now that something has happened in Wuming Village, my husband and I have no choice but to break our promise and take people to investigate the truth."
After that, Chen Changli stopped looking at Yang Afu and said to Lin Zhen, "Go and mobilize some people. We will go to Wuming Village in an hour."
Lin Zhen had wanted to do this for a long time. As soon as Chen Changli told him to do so, he went to find someone without saying a word.
When Yang Afu saw this scene, his angry face stiffened slightly.
He stared at Lin Zhen's departing figure until he could no longer see him. Then he said sarcastically to Chen Changli, "You two are really cunning, and you still want to deceive me at this time."
"Whatever you think, my husband and I don't want to be wrongly accused." After saying this, Chen Changli was about to take Wan Shufang away.
Wan Shufang held his hand, shook her head at him, and then looked at Yang Afu and said, "We will always remember the kindness the villagers have shown us and will never forget it."
"We will investigate the massacre of Wuming Village. If you want to avenge the villagers, calm yourself down and follow us to Wuming Village."
After she finished speaking, she was silent for a long time before leaving with Chen Changli.
Yang Afu was stunned for a long time before he got up and went out. Then he followed Chen Changli and his wife to Wuming Village.
On the way, Chen Changli was worried about his wound and stayed by his side.
Yang Afu was very upset and extremely emotional: "Why are you following me like this? Do you want to pass on your and your wife's bad luck to me?"
Lin Zhen felt very uncomfortable after hearing this and wanted to attack him, "What are you talking about? If it weren't for the Duke and his wife, you would have died long ago."
"Don't fight him." Wan Shufang quickly stopped him and looked at Yang Afu and said, "I know how you feel now, but I swear to heaven that the matter of Wuming Village has nothing to do with my wife and me."
"How is it possible?" Yang Afu's heart was shaken when he saw that the couple was going to Wuming Village to find out the truth, but the tragic deaths of the villagers appeared in his mind like a nightmare, and he could not let it go.
He unconsciously raised his voice and said, "We in Wuming Village have been self-sufficient for many years, and nothing has happened. After you and your wife came, we encountered such a thing. If you and your wife are not unlucky, then who else is unlucky?"
Lin Zhen smiled coldly when he heard this: "The Duke and his wife have been busy with the dog officials and human traffickers for more than a month, and these human traffickers are always keeping an eye on the county town, so if there are outsiders during this period, they and we will find out."
"But what's the truth? We didn't find any outsiders, so if something happened in your village, it's very likely related to your own people."
"Quibbling." Yang Afu was very weak, so when he got excited, his body became a little shaky.
Seeing Yang Afu's body shaking, Chen Changli hurried to support him.
Yang Afu wanted to shake him off, but found he had no strength and could only lean on him.
"Let me carry you on my back." Seeing his stubborn face, Chen Changli felt helpless but did not show it on his face.
"I can walk by myself." Yang Afu still wanted to be stubborn, but Chen Changli didn't give him a chance and directly carried him on his back.
"If you get tired later, let me take over." Lin Zhen said quickly.
Chen Changli nodded and walked forward carrying Yang Afu on his back.
Yang Afu kept scolding him along the way, but as they got closer to the nameless village, he fell silent.
Chen Changli clearly felt the water on his neck, and his mind suddenly became filled with a myriad of thoughts.
"Such a strong smell of blood." At this time Lin Zhen frowned, then walked forward quickly, and the people he brought immediately followed.
"Put me down." Yang Afu suddenly said, "I want to walk back by myself."
When Chen Changli heard what he said, he immediately put him down and helped him walk forward.
This time Yang Afu did not refuse. Perhaps he was too sad and could not refuse.
Wan Shufang followed the two of them and wanted to say something, but she held it back because after she came out of the cliff, she found that the path they had taken had been destroyed.
A very bad feeling emerged in her heart, but Wan Shufang's face was calm, without any ripples, and she just kept walking forward.
The closer they got to the nameless village, the more nauseating the smell of blood and stench became. However, Wan Shufang ignored this feeling because the nameless village, which was once a paradise, had become a ruin, and the clear river seemed to have been dyed red by blood.
"How did it turn out like this?" Although Wan Shufang already had some guesses, she was still shocked when she actually saw this scene.
She quickly asked people to collect the bodies of the villagers. After all the dead were put together, she and Chen Changli looked at them one by one and found that except Yang Afu, a total of 63 villagers had been killed.
Thinking about how they were fine a month ago and how we were so enthusiastic about the couple, now they have turned into corpses, without a sound.
Wan Shufang clenched her hands into fists, sweat coming out of her palms, as if she couldn't bear such a thing, but the tears that kept falling made her grief seem real.
"They are all good people! How could they end up like this? Chen Changli, we must find out the truth and avenge them."
Wan Shufang couldn't suppress the grief in her heart, and she threw herself into Chen Changli's arms and cried. When her tears dried up, she looked up and said.
Chen Changli hugged her and said in an unusually cold voice: "Shufang, don't worry, we will find the murderer and avenge the villagers."
