The Lucky Bride Is Pretty And Delicate Novel - Chapter 80

Chapter 80: Huge Resentment (Part 1)

River Village was completely enveloped in white fog, as if it had completely disappeared.

Officer Zhou could not even touch the bridge. His voice started to tremble.

“Officer Zhou, what should we do?”

The constables were extremely worried. They had stayed outside and did not know what was going on inside. They did not know when the fog started. When they found out, the entire River Village was covered in it.

Now even the bridge was gone.

If they didn’t have the bridge, they could not even go in to investigate the situation.

Officer Zhou retracted his hand and stood up. “Quick, go and invite Miss Liu. She can help.”

Officer Zhou immediately got someone to invite Liu Sanniang over. In this situation, they couldn’t wait until morning.

Even though they didn’t like Su Yanyu, he was after all a lord, and what was more, Magistrate Wei was inside as well.

Officer Zhou frowned. He pricked up his ears, hoping to hear a sound from inside the village.

…

But it was quiet, dead quiet.

Officer Zhou cursed Su Yanyu in his mind. If Su Yanyu didn’t insist on going in, Magistrate Wei wouldn’t be trapped inside.

Officer Zhou only hoped that Liu Sanniang would come soon.

At this moment, every house in River Village was brightly lit. Almost every house was screaming.

They looked at everything in front of them in disbelief.

More than a hundred children were running to their homes, smiling. “Father, Mother, open the door.”

“Ahhh… ghosts. There are ghosts…”

Both men and women screamed in fear and fled in all directions.

They all fled towards the village entrance, wanting to escape. When they tripped, they crawled on all fours. It was too scary. Those dead daughters, they were back.

Was there anything more terrible than this?

They collapsed and lost control of their bowels, but at this moment, no one had the time to laugh at each other. They only wanted to escape quickly.

However, no matter how they ran, they returned to the village in the end.

Su Yanyu frowned. “What’s going on outside? Why do they sound like they’ve seen a ghost? Changde, go out and see what’s going on.”

Su Changde chuckled. “Alright, I’ll go take a look at it now.”

Knock, knock, knock.

Before Su Changde could leave, someone knocked on the door.

Su Changde went to open the door and looked at the little girl standing in front of him. “Whose girl is it? Take her back. If you disturb Lord Su’s rest, you’ll be punished.”

After Su Changde finished speaking, he ran to Su Yanyu’s side. “My Lord, it’s a child.”

Su Yanyu fanned himself with his folding fan. “It’s just a child. Take her to find her parents.”

He wouldn’t go so far as to get angry with a child.

However, the girl had already walked in and smiled. “Father, Mother, I’m back. Father, Mother, hug me…”

The girl ran towards the man and woman in the corner. The woman screamed. “Ahhh, ghost, she’s a ghost.”

The man’s expression changed. “Help me, help me. She’s a ghost.”

The man got up and ran, but the girl was faster and jumped onto his back. She wrapped her small arms around the man’s neck and smiled. “Father, carry me.”

The man staggered and felt his hair stand on end. He only wanted to run out and leave this damn place.

Su Yanyu was stunned. “What?”

Kongyu and Kongling frowned. When they looked up, their expressions changed. The entire village was surrounded by resentment.

They had never seen resentment so strong. Kongling said solemnly, “Lord Su, it’s not safe here anymore. Let’s go out.”

They were really worried that Su Yanyu would be stupid enough to still insist upon staying and watching the show.

Fortunately, Su Yanyu didn’t. He was only stunned for a moment before he said, “Then, let’s go.”

He was here to have fun, but he didn’t want to put himself in danger. Although he didn’t understand, he knew that the situation had gone out of hand. Hearing the screams outside, his body trembled.

Wei Shilai did not know what to say. He turned to Lin Zheng and instructed. “Go and look at what’s going on outside.”

Lin Zheng went out silently. The entire village was in a mess. Almost every man was carrying a girl aged around four or five years on his back. With a smile on their faces, the girls didn’t look scary. It seemed like they were just playing a game.

Lin Zheng returned to Wei Shilai to report the situation.

Kongyu and Kongling’s expressions were solemn as they escorted Su Yanyu out, holding talismans in their hands.

The two of them were afraid that Su Yanyu would be injured. Once a villager approached them, Kongling and Kongkong would hit them with talismans. If they were hit by the talismans, the girls on their backs would disappear.

However, they could not find the way out of the village. Neither Kongyu nor Kongling had encountered such a thing before. For a moment, they panicked as the resentment seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.

Where did this grudge come from?

Su Yanyu couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. “Can you guys handle it? What’s going on with this village?”

Kongyu had already broken out in a cold sweat. He frowned and retracted his hand to calm down.

Kongling wiped his sweat. “Lord Su, the resentment in this village doesn’t seem to dissipate, and instead, it’s increasing. It’s a huge resentment. Unless we find the source, we have no way to break through the fog.”

Kongling turned around and looked at the villagers who were scattered everywhere. They were terrified and kept reaching out to grab their backs, wanting to pull the girl who was riding on their backs down. Why were they so afraid of their daughters?

Kongling shouted at the top of his lungs, “What did you people do? Why is the resentment so great here?”

Everyone was terrified. “Master, help! Master, help!”

Su Yanyu was also a little angry. “Magistrate Wei, what exactly is going on? Are you hiding something?”

Sensing that his life might be in danger, he panicked.

He didn’t want to die in this remote village in the middle of nowhere.
