Chapter 147.2
Just then, he felt the little yellow book in his pocket shaking. He blindly put his hands in his pocket and looked at the old lady. “Jin Jin?”
One of the old lady’s eyes had fallen out and she didn’t see Xiao Li’s anomaly. She continued talking to him, “Go back. Here, I have half a steamed bun for you. You must be hungry. Look at how thin you are. Hey, I think you are also pitiful. How did you come to this family?”
Xiao Li grabbed her wrist. “Wait, this old lady. Who am I?”
“Jin Jin?”
Xiao Li put down his hand. “Sorry, I—”
He hadn’t finished his sentence when from the farmer’s house on the right, a man walked out fiercely. He looked the most vicious and in a complete state out of all the villagers. It was just that his tongue was very long and hanging out, like a hanged ghost.
The strange man grabbed Xiao Li and spoke impatiently, “I said, where did you go? Why didn’t you cook? If you don’t cook when I tell you then don’t eat at night!”
Xiao Li quietly shook off the hand and tentatively called out to him. “...Hus...”
He couldn’t finish saying ‘band.’
The little yellow book turned on vibration mode.
The man frowned and looked very disgusted. He ignored Xiao Li and turned to Ye Zeqing and the others. Then he sneered. “These are your friends from the city? They’re all pretty boys. Bah.”
Zheng Yi, “......”
Xie Zeqing, “......”
Xiao Li made a gesture to them. He had a few guesses in his heart and followed along with the other side’s words. “Yes, they are my friends.”
The man didn’t care and rolled his eyes. “Have them leave quickly. Why are your friends coming to find you? Do you regret getting married? Xu Jin, you are the one who voluntarily married me. Now hurry up and cook food. Do you want me to starve to death?”
Xiao Li, “...”
He wanted to beat someone up.
The man walked back into the brick house and shouted to Xiao Li in the distance, “Hurry up!”
The old lady behind him sighed. “Jin Jin, you should do what he says. This way, you will be beaten less.”
She returned to the house on her crutches.
Zheng Yi pointed to the house. “What’s the situation?”
“The umbrella triggered the side task.” Xiao Li tried to guess. “The owner of the umbrella should be Jin Jin. I am holding her umbrella so they treat me as Jin Jin. They don’t know that they are dead&#k2026;”
Then he muttered, “Eternal Soul Umbrella. Does this mean the souls of the villagers will always be trapped here?”
Zheng Yi stated, “Based on the conversation just now, this Jin Jin is very unhappy.”
It wasn’t just being unhappy. She had no status and was like a cooking machine. According to the information disclosed by Xu Jin’s husband, Xu Jin should be a girl from a privileged family in the city. Perhaps she was blinded by love but she ended up marrying this man. After marrying him, her status was low and she had to endure his ridicule.
If this was the case, the owner of the Eternal Soul Umbrella, Xu Jin wanted him to see this scene. What did she want him to do? Get revenge for her?
Xiao Li told them, “You wait here for a while. I’ll go in and take a look.”
He walked into Xu Jin’s house and found that it was a rather rudimentary farmhouse with brick furniture and a layer of straw for the bed, nothing else. In sharp contrast, the bedroom was like another house. There was a bed with a thick quilt. It was obvious that Xu Jin’s husband lived here.
Once Xiao Li came in, the man was sitting on a rattan chair with his feet up. “Aren’t you cooking yet?”
Xiao Li held the umbrella even in the house. He looked at the other person and slowly declared, “I think it is better for you to cook.”
The man’s movements stopped like the pause button was pressed and his face showed an incredulous expression. “What did you say?”
Xiao Li repeated with an expressionless face. “If you want to eat then do it on your own.”
It took a few five seconds for the man to react. He jumped up directly from his chair. “Xu Jin, what did you fucking say? I knew that you, Miss Qian Jin, can’t stand suffering, right? In the beginning, you wore that you would only love me and serve me all your life. However, you can’t stand it now?”
Xiao Li stood in the same place. “...What did I tell you at the beginning?”
The man sneered. “It was something like ‘I love you, I want to take care of you forever. No matter what your home looks like, I am willing to come.’ Yet now you want to go back? There are two men at the door. Why don’t you follow them?”
Xiao Li whispered, “...I don’t know why Xu Jin would look at you.”
“What did you say?”
He obviously heard t but he couldn’t understand the meaning of Xiao Li’s words. He only thought that Xu Jin was insulting him. Thus, he rolled up his sleeve, picked up the rolling pin by his side and came toward Xiao Li to hit him.
Xiao Li didn’t move as the doll’s hair stretched out infinitely from his pocket, firmly tying up this man and blocking his mouth as well. There was a sound as the rolling pin fell to the ground.
The man was tied up on the spot and his eyes revealed an indescribable panic. “Um, umm?”
The doll crawled out and turned into a girl wearing a thick coat. Her eyes stared at the other person and she tightened her grip on the man. The man struggled but this behaviour just caused the hair to become more tightly wrapped around his flesh.
Xiao Li picked up the rolling pin on his ground and weighed it in his hand. Then with little effort, he hit the man. He didn’t use much force but the moment the rolling pin hit the man, the scene in front of Xiao Li rippled.
......
The next second, the interior of the brick house changed. It was still Xu Jin’s husband. He was standing beside a table with a broken bowl on the ground.
“You say you love me but what is the result? You can’t even cook a dish. Are you still a woman?” The man spat out.
Now Xiao Li had a guess about the side task. Was it to make up for Xu Jin’s choices. This time, he didn’t fight back directly. He kept holding the umbrella while stepping back to avoid the man’s saliva.
The man vented his emotions. “You even asked me for money to buy a mirror. What mirror do you want? I thought your family was rich. In the end, your parents broke it off with you and you couldn’t get a single thing. It is a loss. At least others have a dowry!”
Xiao Li remained silent until the man’s mouth dried up. Then he kicked a broken piece of porcelain and went back to his room to sleep.
Based on the bedroom, Xu Jin should sleep in a straw pile. Xiao Li turned the umbrella handle in his hand. He came outside the house and looked up at the moonlight above his head. Xiao Li spoke to the umbrella, “I think it is faster if you directly divorce him. Why?”
Behind him, Zhou Ying stood in the bedroom of Xu Jin’s husband. The pale boy leaned over in the moonlight and stared closely at the man sleeping on the bed. Xu Jin’s husband was sleeping when he felt his nose become itchy. It seemed that something had fallen on it.
He rubbed his nose several times but it was useless. In the end, he could only sleepily open his eyes to see if a mosquito had landed on his nose. However, once he opened his eyes, he abruptly woke up as he was met with a pair of grey eyes.
It was a child. His white face and blue lips revealed his identity. He wasn’t a person but a ghost. This ghost child had been standing by his bed, watching him and waiting for him to wake up!
The ghost child turned his head and smiled at the man. “Come with me... to play a game?”
Xu Jin’s husband screamed. “Ahhhhh—”
He bounced wildly, rolling down from the end of the bed. “Go away, go away!”
Xu Jin’s husband wanted to rush out the door but a strand of long hair hung from the roof, blocking the door and cutting off his escape.
The little boy approached him. “If you lose this game then you will die.”
Screams cut through the silence.
......
Once again, the illusion was broken and Xiao Li returned to reality. In reality, there was a circle of straw rope hanging from the beam of the brick house’s roof. A person was hanging from the rope.
Based on his facial features, he was Xu Jin’s husband. Only now he was no longer a living person. He had returned to what he was when he died. His pale face hung from the rope. He had become a hanged ghost. This was what the entire village really looked like.
As Xiao Li looked up at him, the hanged ghost on the beam suddenly moved without any wind. His legs swung back and forth regularly and then his entire body sank down. It seemed that he wanted to directly grab onto Xiao Li’s head.
There was a hint of resentment in the hanged ghost’s eyes, mixed with the joy of imagining the man in front of him being killed.
The next second, Xiao Li bent down and walked flexibly to avoid the hanged ghost’s feet. Not only that. There was a figure in his original position. It was tall and covered with a layer of black mucus. It had two heads but due to Bloody Mary, there was only one head left. It was the back ghost.
The hanged ghost’s feet just happened to catch the back of one of the ghost’s head.
The hanged ghost, “..........??”
Wait, why did it seem that the width of this object was different from what he thought? The back ghost’s eyes with no pupils flashed and it looked coldly above it. Then it grasped the feet of the hanged ghost and pulled down fiercely, dragging the hanged ghost off the beam.
Then the back ghost turned his head 180 degrees to look at Xiao Li.
Xiao Li waved at it. “I’ll give you this reserve food. Eat it cleanly and don’t thank me.”
The back ghost, “.........”
It didn’t want to say thank you?
