Metaphysics Live Room: The host is the contract husband

"Big brother, I'll take you to live at the village chief's house. They have more brick houses and you can sleep well there. My house is too shabby and you'll feel wronged."

"It's okay, just go to your house, it's okay to make do for the time being."

Seeing his persistence, Li Fumei stopped talking and walked forward with her head down. She stopped at the end of the village and pointed at the dilapidated temple. “That’s my home. My father is the village guardian.”

"I usually live in the dilapidated temple. The food is given to me by the villagers. I also dig mushrooms and sell them, which can make some money."

He led his men into the courtyard with a half-door, looked at the man lying on the ground and snored, and shouted, "Dad, I'm back."

Li Dayong opened his eyes dazedly, listening to the familiar voice, and muttered: "I am dreaming. I actually heard the voice of that damn girl."

I turned over and continued to sleep.

Li Fumei walked over, squatted down, and pushed him with her hand: "Dad, I'm back. Why are you drinking again? You spent all your money on drinking. It's not good for your health."

"Wake up, I'm back."

Li Dayong suddenly opened his eyes and became more energetic after hearing these words. He sat up and looked at her with wide eyes: "Fumei, you are really back. No, where did you go that took you so long to come back?"

"I found a master and went to the capital to see you."

"...What? Master, where did you recognize this master from?"

Turning his head and seeing the two unfamiliar faces, Li Dayong's pupils shrank: "You strangers, you damn girl, who told you to bring strangers into the village? Oh my, bad things are going to happen."

Li Dayong jumped up and hurried to cover the broken door. He looked outside vigilantly and patted his chest after making sure that there was no one there. He felt a little relieved.

He returned to the dilapidated temple, lit the kerosene lamp, sat cross-legged on the hay, and looked at them with a frown: "I don't care who you are, just leave the village as soon as possible."

"why?"

"No reason, just leave anyway. This is not the place for you, and your sister Fu, too. Who told you to bring a stranger here? Have you forgotten what day it is?"

Li Fumei thought about it and slapped her forehead.

"I remember now. It's the day when the village holds a sacrifice ceremony. But what's the problem? I've seen sacrifices before and there's nothing wrong with it."

Li Dayong said angrily, "Oh, I can't explain it to you clearly. Anyway, if you don't want them to die, leave here quickly. Leave at night and don't show up in the village during the day."

"And you should come with us. The village is not safe now, especially since there is only one girl like you left. There is no guarantee that they won't target you."

Li Fumei looked a little bewildered. "Ah, why? I was only away for a few months. What happened in the village? And what about Sister Xiaohua?"

When Li Dayong heard the name, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes: "Shh, don't mention this unlucky name, just pretend you know nothing and leave quickly."

"No, tell me what happened. Did something happen to Sister Xiaohua?"

Scratching his head, Li Dayong knew the girl's temper. He hung his head and said helplessly, "She's dead. Her death was horrible. She was sold a few days after you left."

"I got pregnant later. Who knows what happened? I got pushed during an argument, and then I started bleeding heavily. The blood... was so loud and scary."

"The village chief said he couldn't be taken to the hospital, so he asked the village doctor to take a look. He told him to take some medicine and so on. But the next day, he died with his eyes open. Strangely, he couldn't close his eyes at all."

"Since then, there have been some strange things happening in the village. No one dared to go out at night for fear of running into that strange shadow and asking why they didn't save her."

Li Fumei felt her heart tightening and she felt a little breathless. She put her hands on her chest and her eyes were red. "So she's dead, right? Why didn't you send her to the hospital?"

Li Dayong waved his hands helplessly and said, "I don't have any money. Besides, the village chief has the final say. I don't have the final say. If the village chief doesn't allow me to send it, then I can't send it."
