Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 329: Eighteen Bends on the Mountain Road (34)

He immediately ran downstairs in panic, shouting.

"Oh no! Oh no! The Xing family's daughter-in-law ran away!"

The villagers, who were originally scattered, became excited when they heard this. They gathered around and talked about it in unison.

"What did you say? The Xing family's wife ran away? Are you kidding me? Given the terrain of our village, even if she had the guts to run, she wouldn't be able to get too far, right?"

"She has seen what happened to those wives who ran away before. How can she be so brave?"

"Could this be a mistake? Or maybe when Old Xing went out to buy goods today, he took his wife along as well?"

"I think something is wrong. His wife has never left the house since she came to our village. How could he suddenly take her out? Besides, no matter what, he can't just leave the child alone at home, right?"

……

There are many different opinions, and everyone is curious about this strange phenomenon.

This village is remote, and apart from basic labor, there are very few ways to entertain oneself. Now that such an incident has happened, it has almost attracted the attention of the entire village.

When the other young wives heard the news, they all became nervous and sweat broke out on their foreheads, as if they were the ones who ran away.

Although they had rehearsed the act of running away thousands of times in their dreams, very few of them actually took this step.

The reason is actually very simple: fear of death.

In fact, someone had tried to escape at the very beginning, but he was caught by the whole village before he got far.

Being brought back doesn't mean everything will be fine, this is exactly the beginning of terror.

The daughter-in-law that the master bought at a high price is no different from the chickens and ducks raised in the house; they are all animals.

If the beast dares to disobey and escapes on its own, how can it learn its lesson if it is not punished?
When dealing with animals, they might just give them a beating, which would not hurt their roots, but for the escaped woman, their methods would not be so gentle.

On the one hand, it was out of anger at being betrayed, and on the other hand, it was to intimidate the remaining women. The means were extremely cruel and simply outrageous.

While she was being tortured, other women in the village were pinned down by the men in their families and forced to watch.

Those bloody scenes kept lingering before their eyes, making them unable to shake them off and making them feel cold all over.

With the lessons learned from the past, naturally no one dared to sneak away again, and life returned to its former peaceful state.

I didn't expect that after so many years, someone would still dare to sneak away!

The women looked at each other, with the same fear and... a hint of hidden curiosity flashing in their eyes.

They were curious, if the Xing family's daughter-in-law really ran away, how far could she escape?

……

In the end, the village chief couldn't stand the chaotic atmosphere anymore and took the initiative to take charge of the situation.

"I think everyone should stop guessing and find someone first."

"Everyone, spread out and walk around the village to see if the Xing family's daughter-in-law has gone to do farm work. If you still can't see her after looking around, then consider the next step."

"The most important thing now is that Xing Qingbo went out. If he went to get the goods, he wouldn't be back until dark. It's so unlucky. I went out to work and the house is in a mess." "But it's also strange. Xing Qingbo doesn't usually go out to buy goods at this time..."

The village chief himself was puzzled. He didn't understand why Xing Qingbo, contrary to his usual behavior, chose to drive out at this time.

In his opinion, He Shanshan took advantage of Xing Qingbo's absence to do something at home, and she never thought that the car was not driven away by Xing Qingbo at all.

"The village chief is right. Let's go look for it first. It might be a misunderstanding."

"Yes, spread out first. The village is only this big. If you don't run around, you'll find it in no time."

The crowd that was originally crowded together in a mess suddenly dispersed and each walked away.

The crowd walked around the village again and again, but found no trace of He Shanshan, but they discovered something even more incredible.

"Everyone, come here! Someone's dead! Xing Qingbo is dead!"

"what?!"

This sentence was like a drop of water poured into an oil pan, which instantly boiled over and everyone was in a panic.

Many people started jogging and moved towards the vegetable field.

"I didn't see anything wrong here at first, but when I tried to leave, I tripped over a stone on the edge and fell into the weeds."

"The kick happened to land on Xing Qingbo's body... It was so soft... I thought it was a python and I was so scared that I ran away."

"I ran far away, and nothing came out to chase me. I looked down and found blood on my hands. That's when I realized there was something strange going on."

"I didn't dare to go back to check by myself, so I called several people to go back with me. After turning over the weeds, I saw Xing Qingbo lying inside."

The villager who first discovered Xing Qingbo's whereabouts said with lingering fear that although he had washed his hands, his clothes were still inevitably stained with blood, which looked quite scary.

After hearing this, the village chief nodded heavily, and then everyone gathered together and took a few steps forward to check the situation.

The morning sun penetrated the dense treetops and shone mottled on the overgrown ground. Xing Qingbo's body was lying among the lush weeds in a twisted and desperate posture.

His clothes were disheveled and stained with blood of varying shades.

After a night, the blood had coagulated, leaving shocking marks on the surrounding grass leaves. The air was filled with a strong smell of rust, which made people frown involuntarily.

The scene that made all the men present frown was the miserable state of Xing Qingbo's lower body. It seemed that it had been ruthlessly bitten by a wild beast. The wound was hideous, the flesh was rolled up, and the bones were vaguely visible.

Xing Qingbo's face was also severely injured. One side of his cheek was swollen and deformed, and there was faint bruising under the skin, obviously he had suffered a severe blow.

In addition to appearing as pale as paper due to excessive blood loss, there were also obvious scars, as if they were left by being hit hard by a shovel.

A deep bruise stretched from the cheekbone to the corner of the mouth, blood mixed with dirt where the skin was broken.

In fact, when he was pushed into the bushes last night, Xing Qingbo still had a trace of life.

It’s just that at night, there were some wild beasts with strong bite force roaming around in the mountains, following the smell of rust in the air and chasing us all the way.

The last bit of life in Xing Qingbo's body disappeared completely after the wild beast ruthlessly devoured him.

Everyone present couldn't help but remain silent for a moment. Xing Qingbo's tragic death really gave them a great shock.
