Lin Yu's life of traveling through time
Chapter 185 Water Ghost (8)
The lights in the house finally went out, and the clan leader's family seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. Lin Yu's figure appeared again in the moonlight, his expression showing a hint of a smile but also an indescribable indifference.
The wind rustled gently through the trees, and the village seemed exceptionally quiet. The moonlight dappled across the tranquil river, creating a poetic tranquility. However, this stillness was soon broken by a shrill scream.
The patriarch sat up in shock from the bed, gasping for breath, cold sweat soaking his back. He had just had a dream in which he saw Wang Xiaohua crawling out of the river, all wet, with eyes full of resentment as she wanted to drag him down to accompany her.
A chill rose in the patriarch's heart and he coughed a few times, trying to calm his heartbeat.
"What's wrong? Boss." The patriarch's wife was also awakened and asked while rubbing her eyes.
"It's nothing, just a nightmare." The patriarch waved his hand.
But when he looked up, he saw not the face of his wife, but Sister Rong who was drowned in the pond last year, grinning and staring at him.
"Ah..." The patriarch was shocked and fell under the bed.
"No...no...don't come over here...uh..."
"Boss... Boss, what's wrong with you? Wake up!" The clan leader's wife heard the clan leader beside her shouting "No", strangling her neck tightly with both hands, and quickly pried his hands apart, calling him desperately.
The patriarch was suddenly awakened and sat up, "Cough cough cough!" He quickly let go of his hands and looked around in fear. Seeing his wife's worried look, he gasped and rubbed his face.
"Boss, are you possessed by a ghost?" The clan leader's wife came over and wanted to rub his back.
"Don't... don't move! Let me rest for a moment. Rest for a moment." The patriarch pinched himself hard with shaking hands, "hiss."
The pain was so severe that the patriarch burst into tears. "It's not a dream, it's not a dream. Mother, pour me a glass of water."
Seeing that the patriarch had recovered, his wife went to fetch a glass of water and came over.
At this moment, terrifying music sounded over the quiet village in the dead of night. Lin Yu released the photo stone and attached a loudspeaker to it, playing it loudly in the village.
The strange and desolate suona sound changed its tune, and the woman's sobbing, mixed with a creepy laugh, startled the entire village and made them scream. They lit candles in the darkness and huddled together, staring out the window.
Lin Yu waved his hand, and the eight puppets stood up and obeyed his orders.
"Go ahead, and make sure you scare everyone out and drive them to the open space by the river. Don't kill anyone for now, the rest is up to you."
"Yes!" The puppets scattered, and shrill screams rang out from all directions. The candlelight was blown out by a gust of cold wind, making the red lanterns hanging on the willow trees on the river bank particularly eye-catching and weird.
Lin Yu slowly flew to the witch's residence. The man had just come out of the cellar with a candle and didn't know that the weather outside had changed.
"The tributes are all good things. If I can get more girls, I can earn more money. I can give some to the dignitaries. I wonder if that old man has the nerve to ask me for an extra 10% of the silver. Humph, by then I will have the title of fairy nun recognized by the officials. Who knows who will be third and who will be seventh!"
After mumbling a lot, the witch closed the cellar door contentedly and sat leisurely on the chair.
"Witch, where can we get a baby girl?"
The witch with her eyes closed replied unconsciously: "Anywhere is fine, you don't have to spend a penny to buy beggars..."
As soon as she said this, the witch realized that she had said something out of turn. How could there be outsiders in her room in the middle of the night?
She sat up suddenly, looked into the darkness, and asked warily, "Who? Who's there?"
Lin Yu sneered and clapped his hands, saying, "Didn't the witch just arrange a marriage for me? It hasn't even been a day yet, how could you have forgotten?"
"River...River God? No, that's impossible. How could there be a river god? Who are you?" The witch said anxiously.
"Oh? That's really weird. Since the witch claims that she doesn't believe in the existence of the river god, why did she kill people and let a young girl die in the river in vain?" Lin Yu's tone was very cold, as if an ice blade froze the witch all over.
The witch gritted her teeth and stared fiercely at the dark place without saying a word. Lin Yu continued: "Now that I, the river god, have appeared in person, why is the witch acting like this?"
As he spoke, Lin Yu instantly appeared in front of the witch, and attacked her face with full oppression.
The witch was so frightened that she stepped back suddenly and fell straight onto the back of the chair. She pointed at Lin Yu in fear and said tremblingly: "You you you you..."
After talking for a long time, the witch gasped for breath and didn't say a word, because what she saw was a transparent figure that suddenly appeared and gradually condensed into a solid entity in front of her eyes, and a cold breath wrapped around her.
Lin Yu curled the corners of his mouth and waved his hand. The thin silver threads on his fingers passed through the witch's limbs and meridians.
"Last time, I used this silver thread to make a puppet out of a human trafficker. They put on a fantastic show for me. I didn't expect to use it again so soon... Do you want to know what the show was about? Witch!"
At this time, the witch already knew that she had encountered the truth. She didn't expect that her nonsense would come true and the river god really appeared in this world.
The witch, unable to move, wanted to shake her head, but unfortunately, she could only pray. She didn't want to know because that was definitely not what she wanted to hear.
Lin Yu sighed with some regret: "Forget it, if you don't want to know, forget it. I can ask you to perform for the villagers yourself."
After saying that, without even looking at the witch's tearful expression, he moved his fingers and the witch's legs and feet automatically followed Lin Yu's movements. Although her expression was very resistant and her mouth was begging for mercy.
"Lord River God, please forgive me. I will never do that again. I will serve you well. Please."
When Lin Yu heard this, he realized that this person had no idea where he was wrong, or if he knew, he was just avoiding the main issue. He ignored the old woman and just walked towards the river with the witch.
It was at this moment that the witch heard those strange and terrifying sounds, as well as the villagers' terrified screams and pleas for mercy. Her heart trembled, and she thought to herself, "This is the end of me!"
As the screams and eerie music grew closer, the villagers fled their homes one after another.
On the other side, Rong Jie'er's father, with a fierce look on his face but a weak heart, wielded a hatchet and sternly pointed it at the puppet: "You unfilial daughter, how dare you cause chaos in the village? You are truly lawless. You have no sense of shame, and now you don't repent and come to scare the villagers..."
The doll called Rong Jie'er sneered, and the whole doll instantly turned back into the appearance of death, with half of its face covered with bones, blood and tears flowing, and black hair disheveled. It just stared straight at the parents and grandparents in front of it and told Rong Jie'er the resentment before her death.
"Shameless? I was bullied and forced to give birth by my husband's family, and then they divorced me under the pretense of a proper marriage. It's fine if you didn't make the decision for me, but for the sake of some chastity arch and clan rules, you threw me into a pig cage and drowned me in a pond, regardless of the fact that I had just given birth. Tell me, how could I be shameless? You sold me for five taels of silver, and then you continued to extort money from me. How could I be unfilial? Hahahaha... If I were unfilial, I would definitely eat your flesh and drink your blood."
Rong Jie'er's younger brother said weakly: "Then you should go find your ex-brother-in-law, Master Ke. It was he who caused you to be like this..."
"Oh! I didn't understand before. How could a peasant girl like me marry Master Ke from the county town? It turns out you guys had already planned this out. I was just a tool to bear his children. You married me for the so-called reputation, and then you threw dirty water on me... What a calculated plan!"
After seeing the faces of Rong Jie'er's family, the puppet was filled with resentment, and looked at them with murderous eyes.
Looking at the puppet wrapped in blood mist, Rong Jie'er's parents became frightened and screamed. They no longer cared about others and ran towards the river, pushing and shoving each other.
This is also because the illusion created by the red lanterns makes the villagers consciously believe that they will be safe as long as they escape there.
Soon, all the young and old in the village were driven to the open space by the river. Just when they breathed a sigh of relief and felt safe.
Lin Yu controlled the witch and walked over slowly. His eyes flashed red and the illusion disappeared instantly.
The villagers realized they had reached the river and immediately panicked, trying to flee. However, the eight puppets had split in all directions, making it impossible for them to escape. Many of them were frightened and cried.
Lin Yu waved his hand to separate the innocent people who could still be saved from the clan leader and his entourage.
Although these people were innocent, they turned a blind eye and did not resist, which was also considered guilty by Lin Yu. He admitted that he was just taking his anger out on them. He would not punish them, but let them watch carefully so that they would remember the lesson and learn from it.
