Chapter 156 The Girl Sold to the Mountains 11
"Have you noticed that all the families involved in these incidents were people who had bought wives?"

"You're only just realizing it? Let me tell you quietly, I noticed a while ago."

"Hey, me too. When everyone was shouting this morning, I knew something was wrong."

"Do you think it's possible that because what I did was dishonorable, Heaven sent down this punishment?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, or the village chief and his gang will hear you and make things difficult for you."

"Hmph, what else can they do to make things difficult for us? Our village is already so poor, how much worse can it get?"

"Hey, I'm telling you, village chief, haven't you embezzled quite a bit of the subsidies allocated by the higher authorities these past few years?"

"Let's keep it down, this is almost certainly true."

"Zhang Baogang, do you have some inside information? Tell me quickly!"

"What need is there for gossip? Use your rusty brain! Most people in our village are so poor, only those few families have some money and can even buy women. There's definitely something fishy going on!"

"Yes, I think so too," a woman's voice suddenly joined in the whispers of a group of men.

"Yeah, that makes sense."

"Huh? Who's this?"

The men who had formed a circle turned around and saw a girl eavesdropping over.

"Isn't this so-and-so? The one Zhang Shoucheng bought—no, Zhang Shoucheng's wife."

"What are you doing here? What did you hear? I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense, or else..."

Yu Muhuai waved his hands repeatedly, "I won't talk nonsense, I won't talk nonsense, talking nonsense won't do me any good."

The group thought about it and agreed, so they didn't press the matter further.

"Girl, what are you doing here? Didn't your guard break his leg? How's he doing resting?"

Good thing, he's not dead yet.

Yu Muhuai said with a smile, "It's alright, it's alright. Under my careful care, it's gradually recovering."

"Alright, alright, then you should go now and stop wandering around outside. Things haven't been peaceful these past few days, so a woman like you shouldn't be out and about."

Yu Muhuai nodded, then turned and left.

After the woman left, Zhang Baogang and the others continued to huddle together and whisper among themselves.

What they didn't know was that this was precisely what saved their family from a disaster.

Due to time constraints last night, Yu Muhuai could only target the forty farming households that had bought women.

Deng Meijia's wish is to make all the villagers who have hurt her pay the price.

The line is a bit blurry.

Those who participated in the trafficking of women will undoubtedly be the first targets of retaliation.

They were not only direct participants, but also Zhang Shoucheng, who facilitated the violence against Deng Meijia, to join in.

Meanwhile, those people also monitored Deng Meijia. When the police finally arrived, relying on their ignorance of the law, they used themselves as a wall to prevent the two from entering the village.

The most important of these were the few people who went to town with Zhang Shoucheng to capture Deng Meijia.

They are Zhang Jianqiang, Zhang Mazi, Zhang Dalu, and Zhang Decai.

Originally, in Yu Muhuai's eyes, everyone in the village was a target for his mission.

Because indifference is complicity, and standing by indifferently is aiding and abetting evil.

However, after several days of thought, Yu Muhuai realized that unless she slaughtered the entire village, the buying and selling would definitely still happen.

Even if she slaughtered the entire village, the neighboring villages would still continue the buying and selling of women. The best solution would be to replace Huabao Village with a village chief who would prohibit the buying and selling of women.

While we can't guarantee that such incidents will be completely eliminated in the future, at least the frequency of occurrence will be much lower.

Fortunately, after a period of observation, she discovered a few people in the village who had a conscience.

However, even those with a conscience gradually became cowardly and timid under the long-term suppression by the group led by village chief Zhang Jianqiang, and turned into indifferent bystanders.

Yu Muhuai could only be certain that she wouldn't touch them for the time being, but if they posed any threat to her mission, she would not hesitate to take action.

The witch then wandered around the farmhouse where the incident occurred, only stopping in the evening.

Then she set the time for the ritual: noon tomorrow at a square on the east side of the village.

That night, the witch slept at the village chief Zhang Jianqiang's house.

In the entire Huabao Village, Zhang Jianqiang's house is the biggest and most impressive.

Most of the houses in the village are single-story, low-rise buildings with broken bricks and tiles, and some even leak.

Zhang Jianqiang, Zhang Mazi, and Zhang Decai lived in a small villa on the second floor.

They are in cahoots, a den of snakes and rats—that's a perfect description of them.

Because of Yu Muhuai's sabotage, Zhang Jianqiang's house was in complete disarray, and there wasn't enough time to tidy it up in just one day.

But in order to give the witch a comfortable place to rest, Zhang Jianqiang simply gave up his master bedroom for her to live in.

At 2 a.m., a dark figure sneaked into the master bedroom on the second floor of Zhang Jianqiang's house.

Just as the shadowy figure was about to insert the silver needle into the witch's acupoint on her head, the witch suddenly moved.

The witch rolled to the other side, dodging the silver needles, and then did a somersault, leaping off the bed onto the floor.

By the faint moonlight streaming through the window, a dark figure and a witch clashed.

Yu Muhuai hadn't expected that his opponent also knew martial arts. Moreover, due to their height and physique advantages, the two were initially evenly matched.

The witch hadn't expected that the person opposite her, who was so thin and small, was actually quite strong!

Fearing that it would attract the attention of Zhang Jianqiang's family downstairs, Yu Muhuai decided to act quickly.

【slow】

In two seconds, the witch slowed down by half.

Through this period of training and continuous cultivation of his internal energy, Yu Muhuai's physique and fighting ability have been greatly improved. If the fight continued for just a moment longer, even the witch would be defeated.

But the current situation doesn't allow her to spend too much time.

At this moment, he slowed down by half. Within two seconds, Yu Muhuai easily circled behind the witch, grabbed her throat, and pressed her to the ground.

"I won't expose you, I'll help you, please don't hurt me!" The witch endured the pain of her throat being constricted and said these words very quickly and in one breath.

Upon hearing this, Yu Muhuai relaxed his arm slightly, giving the witch a chance to catch her breath, and she immediately began to breathe heavily.

"How are you going to help me?" Yu Muhuai cut straight to the point.

"Ahem, you...you have grievances against Zhang Jianqiang and his ilk, is it because they bought wives?"

Yu Muhuai raised an eyebrow. She hadn't expected that this witch would have some brains and would directly point out the key point.

"Why do you think so?"

“I went to see it during the day. Those things were obviously man-made. Only these ignorant, backward, and stubborn villagers would think there were ghosts.”

From what I observed, the wives in those families didn't look like locals at all; they were definitely bought. These villages around here are notorious for this kind of thing, and I've always despised people like that!
