Other festivals, such as the Lantern Festival, Qingming Festival, and the Dragon Head Raising Festival, are also celebrated.

There are no minor holidays here.

What seemed like a boring day was, in her eyes, a very fulfilling one.

Meng Fei watched her write diligently and sat quietly beside her. Just then, a commotion arose from the village.

Xiao Nan looked up, paused for a moment, and Meng Fei said, "How about I go take a look?"

"No need. Even if everyone in Ping'an Village dies, it has nothing to do with us."

"it is good!"

Meng Fei was curious, so he asked, "Wife, do they really deserve to die?"

“To me, death is nothing. I want to see how God punishes these wicked scoundrels.”

"What happened to them?"

Xiao Nan recalled the original owner's experiences over the past three years and slowly said:

“Three years ago, when I first arrived in this village, I saw several soldiers buying up several young girls from the village. They were only thirteen or fourteen years old.”

"Buy young girls?"

"Buy her to be a military prostitute, a military prostitute, don't you understand?"

Meng Fei fell silent. Xiao Nan said calmly, "Selling their own daughters to soldiers for abuse, do you think they deserve to die? All for a bag of grain."

"Damn it."

"In the third month after I came to this village, a girl in the village committed suicide by jumping into a well."

"And what is the reason for that?"

Xiao Nan snorted coldly: "His family was poor, his brother came back from the war with a limp and couldn't get married, so he slept with his own sister, who was only twelve years old."

"Damn it!"

"The people in this village talk about morality and righteousness on the surface, but they do a lot of dirty things in reality. Take that village chief, for example. He looks respectable, but he has affairs with many women in the village behind the scenes. Everyone knows it, but they all pretend not to hear."

"how about you?"

"Back then, I was like a charred black man, nobody wanted me, and that's how I escaped this calamity. Even so, that damned Zhang Lao Er would try to grope me whenever he had free time. Fortunately, he felt like vomiting when he saw my skin color, so he didn't do anything to me in the end."

"Damn Zhang Lao Er, I'll make him pay."

"I will avenge my grudge. You just need to be a good husband to me."

"Wife, whatever you want to do to get revenge, I will do as you say."

"He won't have a good ending."

Meng Fei clenched his fist secretly; he wouldn't let that Zhang Lao Er get away with it.

Then, Xiao Nan told Meng Fei about what he had heard and heard during the three years that the original owner of the body had spent in Ping'an Village.

Meng Fei never imagined that such a small village, in such a remote location, could harbor so many infuriating things.

Xiao Nan smiled dismissively. She took a sip of water to moisten her throat and put away the paper and pen.

Meng Fei hurriedly wiped the kang table clean and moved it downstairs. At this moment, sounds could still be heard from the village.

After the two lay down, it gradually became quiet outside.

Xiao Nan closed his eyes, and Longlong's voice came: "Master, that was an elder of the Ji clan who died."

"You can watch the show if you want, I'm going to sleep."

“Master, they want to use the elder’s corpse to frame you.”

"How did you frame me?"

"Throw the elder's body over the wall into our house, report it to the authorities overnight, and the officials will arrive at our house at dawn and obtain the evidence on the spot."

Xiao Nan gritted his teeth and cursed, "A bunch of beasts! Go, set fire to their houses! Whoever came up with the idea, burn their house down. It's so cold, let them warm up a bit."

"Yes, he's such a jerk, such a jerk, he's driving me crazy."

“Burn that elder’s body completely, not even a trace of ashes should be left.”

"Yes, if they still want to frame our family, they'll have to kill another one."

"I'll see how long they intend to be so immoral. I'll wait until I kill the whole village and see if they can change their shamelessness and depravity."

Longlong was about to leave when Xiao Nan called him back.

"Don't go."

"Master, have you softened your heart?"

"No, tell them to throw it away."

"what?"

"Throw it away, then throw the body into the bed of the person who came up with the idea."

Longlong's eyes lit up. He also felt that the old cooking was nothing new, but the master's idea was good. It made them lose both their wife and their army. How novel! Really novel.

Just thinking about how horrified they look when they wake up in the morning makes me happy, hahaha!

"What if they find out and throw it back?"

"With you here, the corpse won't end up at our house, right?"

"Of course, I guarantee the mission will be completed."

Longlong went off to carry out his mission happily, while Xiao Nan kept her eyes closed, leading Meng Fei to believe his wife was asleep.

After waiting for a while, he quietly got up, intending to go and take a look at the village.

They happened to run into Yunpeng, who was acting suspiciously. The two exchanged a knowing smile and secretly climbed over the wall to get out.

Unexpectedly, they saw several men carrying a corpse towards their house, and the two followed behind them discreetly.

They arrived at their own courtyard wall, threw the body inside, and immediately took off running.

Meng Fei cursed under his breath. What were they trying to do? Throw a corpse into his house?

Without thinking twice, he and Yunpeng quickly climbed over the wall, intending to throw the corpse back intact.

Just as I was about to reach out, the body vanished! Vanished!

The two rubbed their eyes quickly, unable to believe it, thinking they were seeing things. Upon closer inspection, they realized there was indeed no body.

Instantly, the hairs on his body stood on end, and a chill rushed into his body.

It's so strange that a corpse would disappear right before your eyes in the middle of the night.

"Brother, this village is really eerie!"

"There have been several inexplicable fires before, and one person was burned to a crisp. Is there really divine retribution?"

"Some things can't be explained. Let's see tomorrow. We can't figure this out no matter how hard we try."

"Could there be a master in this village?"

"How could that be? Before I came here, I explored this village thoroughly, even investigating their ancestors for eight generations."

"Sigh, I'll see tomorrow."

"It can only be this way."

Before dawn, someone started banging on the door. Meng Fei and Yun Peng, who were both still in their clothes, jumped up and rushed to the gate. As soon as they opened it, several constables rushed in.

“We are officials from the county government. We received a report that your family committed murder and is hiding a body.”

Before Meng Fei and Yun Peng could speak, he rushed into the courtyard to search for people. Finding no one in the courtyard, he tried to search the houses.

Fortunately, Xiao Nan had made preparations in advance, instructing Longlong to store all the valuables in the house into his spatial storage, and to quietly put them back after everyone left.

She and her grandmother got dressed and came into the yard, like frightened deer who dared not utter a sound.

After the officials searched every corner of the house and found no body as the complainant had described, they were somewhat embarrassed, but still spoke in an official tone:

"We are carrying out orders. You are not allowed to leave your homes unless necessary, and you must be ready to obey orders from the county government at any time."

Meng Fei nodded slightly. Thinking of the corpse from last night and the official's words today, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

Someone wants to use that corpse to frame my family. If they succeed, my family will be embroiled in a lawsuit and will be convicted of murder and concealing a corpse.

What a vicious thought! They're trying to wipe out their own family.

Who exactly helped them?

Meng Fei couldn't help but look at Xiao Nan. His wife had been asleep in the room last night, so it couldn't have been her. But how could the corpse have suddenly disappeared?

It can't be her, so who could it be?

Could it be that a wise person passed by, disapproved of the villagers' actions, and thus helped them?

He considered himself a skilled martial artist, one of the best in the martial arts world. If there were a master, he couldn't possibly have been completely unaware of it, and the person would have simply vanished right under his nose.

I just can't figure it out.

Just then, a loud scream echoed throughout Ping'an Village. The officials, who were about to reprimand the villager who had reported the incident, heard the sound and immediately ran towards the house.

Many villagers followed behind, huddled together with their hands tucked into their sleeves, their hearts pounding.

I'm so scared, I feel so uncertain.

The screams continued. They rushed into the room where the noise was coming from and found a woman huddled in a corner, clutching a blanket, her face pale.

The officers sensed something was wrong and discovered that there were two men in the quilt on the kang (a heated brick bed).
