I work as a housekeeper in Guilou

Chapter 236 Zhang Ying’s Travels (Twenty-Two)
The two have been friends since they were in high school, and their friendship continued into college.

After Ya Ma disappeared, Ya Mu did not give up tracking her. She initially said she was looking for her friends, but people kept asking her if it was worth the trouble for her friends. When she got annoyed, she said she was looking for her cousin.

After she changed her mind, this problem no longer occurred.

She followed the trail to the mountains, and the first place she arrived was not Xiaomugong Village, but Damugong Village. She was not alone at the time, there were men and women walking with her, but in the end she was the only one who survived.

Although she survived, her spirit was not normal and she was in a trance every day.

The gap-toothed man was still young at that time and had no relevant memories. Most of it was heard from his father, and the other half was heard from his mother who came back to the world.

It’s unclear how Ya’s mother and Ya’s father met. At least from the perspective of the toothless man, the two of them got along quite harmoniously.

There will be a five-year sacrificial activity in the Mugong Village to worship fairies of all sizes. All villagers, including women and children who have grown up, must participate.

This is how Ya's mother and Ya's mother met. Yazi was four years old and Ya's elder was three years old.

"No, if he is only one year older than Da Ya, then he is only fifteen this year?" Hearing this, Xia Qimiao asked in disbelief.

The gap-toothed man looked to be about 1.7 meters tall, and she had heard rumors that he was old enough to marry. She never expected that he was not much older than Da Ya.

Maybe it was because she was currently possessing a short child, and her perspective made her think he was quite tall, thinking he was an adult.

"Yes, Master, in this village one is considered an adult at the age of fourteen."

After hearing the affirmative reply, Xia Qimiao sighed inwardly. Her fear was dissipated a lot after being teased like this.

Now that she has cheered up, make good use of your time and keep your hands and ears busy.

"Yazi said that his mother was mentally normal more often after meeting her friends, and persuaded his father to move the family to Xiaomugong Village."

"They moved here. Soon after Ya's father died, Ya's mother couldn't bear the humiliation and hanged herself."

So suddenly.

"How did Father Ya die?"

The bed in Mr. Chen's house has long legs and a large space underneath, so it's likely that something was placed there.

Xia Qimiao picked up a straw broom from the corner, squatted down and swept it down, kicking up a cloud of dust and unknown lint.

"According to Yazi, he fell into a pond and drowned while walking at night."

She pinched the wool and rubbed it twice. She couldn't tell the material, and handed it to Detective X: "Did you tell me why he went out at night?"

"He doesn't know," Detective X took it, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, "it smells like fox."

The fox, could it be the "Fox Fairy" that Lin Jiangdan killed?

Probably.

Although this village is a place where multiple beliefs coexist, it does not mean that the same types of people are allowed to exist, such as Shenbai Immortal and a certain Jie Immortal. If the relevant scopes overlap, they will be considered good and evil.

"Why do you say Mother Ya can't bear to be humiliated?"

"Because she is a woman who gave birth to a son, but her husband died."

In the backward understanding of this village, giving birth to a son means that she has no problems and may continue to have children; the death of her husband means that she has no one to rely on and anyone can step on her.

"There are many people in this village who can't give birth to sons, such as Mr. Chen and Mr. Mo."

"By the way, Master, I've already taken care of that man. With Berry's help, I completely peeled off his skin and took out the bones one by one." The two of them are now ghost pets. A grasshopper on a rope certainly shares blessings, so when it repays its work, don't forget to give it a share as well.

"Huh?" The Devouring Rose, which only held the person in place and did no other work during the whole process, bent its vines. After seeing the Border Collie wink at it, it separated a few branches and rubbed them up to express intimacy.

Xia Qimiao controlled her divergent thoughts and stopped herself from thinking about such a scene. She nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. You are very thoughtful."

She continued to rummage around the room for other clues, and Detective X continued.

"Those men will covet her and want to use her to have a son."

“Yamu tried to escape, but failed, and was finally captured.

"Even if she didn't succeed, she still violated a taboo in the village. Her situation was already very difficult, but now her status has dropped to the bottom, and everyone can bully her."

"Yazi was not yet an adult at that time. He was not recognized by the people in the village and had little weight in the village."

"He had a tooth knocked out while protecting his mother. There is no condition to repair it here, so it's still being spared."

It turned out to be the case.

Xia Qimiao found the desk where Boss Chen worshiped the fairies. There were six wooden plaques in total, three large and three small.

The three major ones read "Bai Xian", "Rice Fairy" and "Medicine Fairy" respectively, while the three smaller ones read "Fox Fairy", "Snake Fairy" and "Wolf Fairy".

She stared at them in deep thought, and thought of the possibility that Lin Jiangdan entered the house at that time and killed the fox fairy because of an injustice.

The Snake Immortal and Wolf Immortal, who were worshiped by the same family, might have sensed this, so they "woke up" and bumped into the Strange-Eating Rose. They thought this strange creature was an intruder, so they blocked its path.

That makes sense.

This little "fairy" family really deserves to die neatly.

Xia Qimiao reached out and looked at the wooden signs one by one to see if there was anything special.

"You just said that Boss Chen has some relationship with Mother Ya. What is the specific relationship?"

"Boss Chen has been unable to give birth to a son and wants Ya Mu to give him a few. His persecution can be said to be the last straw that drives Ya Mu to death."

"Yazi's teeth were also knocked out by him."

There is also this layer of origin.

Xia Qimiao went through it from beginning to end again, and found that a person was invisible in the later story: "Where is Da Ya's mother? Why does it sound like she has nothing in common with Ya Mu?"

"Yazi said that his mother was normal for a while before she died. She only told him about the past and mentioned Ya Ma in passing, but she didn't go into detail."

"Da Ya and the others rarely hear their mother talk about the past. From the beginning to the end, they have no idea that she has a relationship with Ya Mu."

Probably because she was weaving a lie from the beginning, and this lie needed more lies to round it off.

Xia Qimiao was sorting out the timeline. When the eldest Ya was three years old, the fourth child should not have been born yet, and Ya's mother should have been mentally normal at that time.

When two people meet again in a place like this, will Ya Ma really turn a blind eye to her friend who was in trouble because of saving her?

She doubted it.

Her hands were not idle. She weighed the three large wooden signs and found something was wrong.
