Heavenly Master: Military training to pray for rain, your method is too fake

Chapter 22 The Bought Wife

"Master Tian, ​​have mercy on me!"

As soon as the old smoker appeared, he immediately knelt down to Zhang Yunfan.

He is now worried all the time that he will lose his mind in the next second.

Therefore, when Zhang Yunfan released him, the old smoker knelt down and lowered his posture extremely low.

The old smoker appeared out of thin air. Since it was not the first time for Luo Laoer to see him, he was just shaken and had no other reaction.

But the village chief's reaction was a bit overwhelming.

"Damn it, what the hell is this?!"

Even though the village chief was over sixty years old, he was suddenly frightened and his reaction was quite quick.

He immediately took a few steps back, staring at the old smoker with a look of horror on his face.

After hearing the village chief's words, before Zhang Yunfan could speak, Luo Laoer on the side was the first to speak.

"Village Chief, this is the smoker who killed my son. If the Heavenly Master hadn't taken action, I'm afraid my son would have died!"

The ghost is right in front of him. No matter how sensitive the village chief is, he has to believe that what Luo Laoer said before is true.

"Is the village chief now willing to believe that Pindao and others are not liars?"

Zhang Yunfan spoke slowly.

Hearing this, a hint of embarrassment suddenly appeared on the village elder's face.

Unexpectedly, I treated a gentleman with a villain's heart, and instead of being blamed, others repaid him with kindness.

This magnanimity made the village chief feel ashamed for a moment, and he quickly said:
  "This little old man can't recognize the true immortal with his naked eyes, please don't blame the heavenly master!"

"The matters in the village still need to be troubled by the Heavenly Master!"

The village chief bowed respectfully to Zhang Yunfan to apologize, and also begged Zhang Yunfan and others to help him.

In response, Zhang Yunfan nodded slightly and said:
  "Village chief, don't worry. Longhu Mountain has always been responsible for exterminating demons and protecting the Tao. This is the responsibility of Pindao and others."

As he said that, Zhang Yunfan's eyes moved directly to the smoker.

"You said earlier that what you did before was forced by the female ghost in Zhouhe Village?"

Zhang Yunfan asked.

The smoker didn't even think about it and nodded directly: "Yes!"

Falling into the hands of Zhang Yunfan, Yan Gui directly chose to confess and get leniency.

He is just a rotten ghost, and his biggest wish is to be reincarnated.

It was also bad luck before that I met the fierce ghost in Zhouhe Village and was forced to harm people.

After getting the answer, Zhang Yunfan put away his cigarette and said to the village chief:

"Village Chief, Pindao wants to know about the situation of that female ghost before she was alive. Please tell the Village Chief in detail!"

"This……"

Upon hearing this, the village chief froze, and a troubled expression appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunfan frowned slightly and said bluntly:
  "Isn't it convenient for the village chief to tell you?"

"Pindao doesn't have to know what's going on. It's just that the female ghost has become a traitor. If we don't deal with it as soon as possible, she will kill everyone in the village sooner or later!"

"If the village chief is really inconvenient to say it, then Pindao won't ask more questions. But I'm afraid Pindao and others can't solve this matter!"

Zhang Yunfan spoke calmly.

"This is the end of the matter here. I'm afraid Pindao and the others have to leave first!"

Saying this, Zhang Yunfan suddenly turned around and prepared to greet the Taoist priests to leave. This frightened the village chief. He trotted up to him in a hurry and sighed:

"Master Celestial Master, please stay!"

"You are so ignorant, please forgive me, Master!"

"I said it, I said it, I said it all, this matter is a scandal, it is our own fault..."

The village chief looked guilty, and then told everyone about what happened in the village.

It turns out that the female ghost was named Li Fang during her lifetime.

The reason why she came to Zhouhe Village to marry was not because she was married by a matchmaker, but because she was a bought daughter-in-law.

They have a business of buying and selling wives here.

Zhouhe Village is located in a remote area with poor mountains and harsh rivers. The people in the village have to dig their food in the fields and can barely solve the problem of food and clothing.

In such a poor environment, coupled with the high betrothal gifts outside, the young men in the village cannot find wives at all.

But the village always needs to carry on the family line. Seeing that all the young men can't find wives, the villagers are interested in buying wives.

There are some differences between buying a wife in Zhouhe Village and ordinary buying a wife.

Generally, to buy a daughter-in-law, you spend money to buy a girl of the right age from a trafficker as a daughter-in-law.

However, Zhouhe Village buys wives directly from those remote mountainous areas.

"Although our village is poor and most of the wives can only be bought, we are not the same as those who are trafficked."

"We all choose from remote mountainous areas, which are poorer and have many children at home, so many families simply cannot afford to raise so many children!"

"So we will talk to those families and give them a sum of money to send suitable daughters to our village as wives. Then we will send some money to these families every year."

"Although the money is not a lot, it can also reduce the burden on these families."

"So, this is what both families are willing to do!"

The village chief glanced at Zhang Yunfan, and after seeing the latter's expressionless face, he continued:

"Well, speaking of it, Li Fang and her man are indeed nothing!"

The village chief shook his head slightly, his expression becoming more and more guilty.

"Her man's name is Wang Zhigui, and he is just a pile of mud that cannot be held up against the wall."

"I enjoy eating and doing nothing all day long. I also like to gamble when I have nothing to do."

"A man who has been in his thirties has accomplished nothing, let alone his wife. No one can look at such a waste."

"Originally, the village did not plan to buy Wang Zhigui a wife. After all, he is a waste and irresponsible. Marrying him a wife will also bring disaster to others."

"But……"

At this point, the village chief's breathing gradually became rapid, and the guilt on his face became more and more obvious.

He seemed a little embarrassed to speak, but in the end he took a deep breath, tried to control his emotions and said:
  "But this bastard is naturally cheeky. Plus, his family is related to mine."

"I don't know where Wang Zhigui learned that he might not be able to marry a wife, so he came to my house every day to cry and yell at me to buy him a wife."

"At first, I didn't want to pay any attention to him and just let him cry in my house."

"But I really didn't expect that Wang Zhigui's family, not only Wang Zhigui is terribly thick-skinned, but his mother is also a shameless master!"

When the village chief said this, his expression was a little ferocious, but then he sighed quietly and said feebly:
  "When they came to my house, they would cry, make trouble, and hang themselves. They were tormenting them every day. In the end, I was tired of their tossing and had no choice."

"Only then did I comply with their request and agree to marry Wang Zhigui a wife."

"At that time, Li Fang's family happened to be thinking about this, so Li Fang came to Zhouhe Village."
