Carrying Wife to Subdue Demons and Eliminate Demons

Barbaric, cruel, feudal, conservative, familial.

This is the village that Shen Jiexing learned about through Zhou Zhaodi.

In the entire Heshen Village, Zhou is the common surname, and every household in the village is more or less related.

For example, Zhou Zhaodi and Zhou Xiaobo are distant cousins.

Zhou Zhaodi's father is the second child in the family.

But it's not like the saying goes, the emperor loves the eldest son, and the common people love the youngest son.

In this family where there is no throne to inherit, the old lady prefers the eldest son.

Because the eldest son can earn money, the eldest son can talk, and even the daughter-in-law of the younger son, Zhou Zhaodi's mother, is bought by the eldest son.

When Lin Meixia was sent to Zhou Zhaodi's father, her hands and feet were broken, and she was too sick to speak.

"My mother resisted the most and was beaten the worst. No one was willing to buy her, so my uncle gave her to my father."

In this village, it is normal to buy women. Under the erosion of patriarchal thinking, girls can hardly survive. Go out and exchange for a handsome dowry.

Because it is their own people who "do business", they can often buy women who are cheated or kidnapped from outside at a relatively cheap price.

And once women enter Heshen Village, they don't even think about escaping.

The village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the resources in the mountains are well protected, and there are wolves, tigers and leopards that are rare nowadays.

Even experienced hunters would not dare to enter the mountain alone without sufficient preparation, let alone a woman abducted from outside?

The remaining side is not so dangerous, and the straight line distance from the town is the closest.

The problem is that a large river tens of meters wide must be crossed in the middle, and the cables and spider plants for crossing the river are controlled by the villagers.

When Zhou Zhaodi asked Shen Jiexing to go to Panshi Village, she actually asked her to take a detour instead of going to the nearest small town, but directly to the county seat.

"The town is also full of people from the village. If they run to the town and are found, they will still be arrested. The county town is better."

Zhou Zhaodi told Shen Jiexing with rich experience, "If someone comes to arrest you, you will pretend to be crazy, you will beat and bite people, and tomorrow I will find you a red pen and draw some red dots on your body, so that they can I dare not come and catch you."

"Have you ever thought about leaving this place?" Shen Jiexing asked Zhou Zhaodi while lying on the creepy bench.

In the dark, Zhou Zhaodi was silent for a long time. When Shen Jiexing wondered if she was asleep, Zhou Zhaodi said, "Leave here? Where can I go? To the orphanage you mentioned? What about my mother?" ? I'm not here, they will definitely torture her to death."

"What's wrong with your mother..." Shen Jiexing asked a sensitive question.

"My father is actually very good to my mother." Zhou Zhaodi talked about her father, "He is a good man."

"He is not like other men in the village, who regard women as a tool for raising children. Although he can't read a single word, he respects my mother. He will buy her anything my mother wants. He is in the town. Do odd jobs, come back every week, and buy something that is a waste of money every time."

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhaodi paused, "This is what my grandma said."

"My dad also said that when he earns money, he will take us out of Heshen Village and take my mother to her home. If she is willing to stay, they will continue to live. If she wants to go home, send her back , he alone can support me to grow up..."

"Your father is so kind." Shen Jiexing sighed.

"Yeah, my dad is really a good man." She heard Zhou Zhaodi sniffling, "But a good man is not rewarded. When my dad was repairing the house for my uncle, he fell from the roof and broke his waist. I said I was going to see a doctor in the county hospital, but my uncle refused, so I went to Huang Langzhong from the village. The man surnamed Huang could not only feel the pulse of a woman's hand, but also heal a fart disease. My father lay on the bed Zhou, it hurts for a week, and when he died, he wanted to eat twice-cooked pork, but my aunt refused to make it for him, so I hate her too, I wish she could die!"

Shen Jiexing: "Your father died, and your uncle didn't say anything?"

"What do you mean? It was originally agreed. My uncle paid for it, and my dad contributed. The house he repaired was divided into two rooms for my dad. As a result, when my dad died, my uncle didn't allow me and my mother to live in it at all. She said it was theirs. The house I built by myself has nothing to do with us, it doesn't matter if it's fart, and I don't know if they are leaning on it at night, and their hearts are not empty, did my father's ghost go to them!"

In the dark, Zhou Zhaodi wiped away her tears. Maybe no one has ever listened to the pain in the girl's heart. Now that she has finally found someone to confide in, she can't wait to pour out all the bitterness in her heart, "My father is dead From now on, there will only be me and my mother. You know, there are a lot of gossips in front of the widow's house, and my mother is so beautiful, so many people come to her idea. My grandma even thought about selling my mother. , to earn a sum of money as a bride price for my daughter-in-law..."

"My mother is definitely not happy. She said that she wants to be a widow for my father and raise me alone. My grandma won't let her have dinner at home, so she put up a sign and asked those men to spend money to sleep with her , she said that sooner or later she will be slept by someone, instead of being slept for nothing, it is better to earn me a dowry money..."

"What happened next?" The more Shen Jiexing heard the story, the more sad he became.

"And then she went crazy."

Zhou Zhaodi mentioned it in one stroke, but refused to say anything more.

"Didn't you walk for a day? Go to sleep, don't talk, I will call you tomorrow morning."

She stopped talking, Shen Jiexing opened her eyes, obviously exhausted, but not half sleepy.

She felt that there seemed to be a huge cage in this world, which was located above Heshen Village.

Poor people like Zhou Zhaodi's mother were firmly imprisoned in this cage, with no escape or struggle.

The benches put together can barely support Shen Jiexing's back and thighs, and they hang directly on the ground below the knees.

A stray cat's cry came from outside the house, Shen Jiexing gathered the blanket around his body, and forced himself to close his eyes.

Suddenly, her body sank, as if something was oppressing her.

"Wife?" she called softly.

The cold blue hair hung down her cheeks, and then a cold face pressed against her.

She was obviously a wife who was cheated out of the desire to survive.

At this moment, Shen Jiexing felt a real sense of security from Princess Yue.

It stands to reason that she should be afraid, but she gradually fell asleep with the company of Princess Yue.

……

At some point, a heavy fog silently hit the entire village.

Strong water vapor filled every corner of the village.

In the thick fog, several white figures suddenly solidified gradually.

With their long black hair loose and their heads bowed, they lined up in a long line, walking silently in the middle of the road in Heshen Village.

squeak-

A man opened the door with his eyes closed, walked out of the room, walked to the corner, and unbuttoned his belt.

The woman raised her head, showing a pale face, and suddenly turned in this direction.

"what--"

……

Shen Jiexing woke up to the man's screams.

She trembled, opened her eyes, and was startled by the scene in front of her.

As a natural yin and yang eye, her night vision ability is quite good.

"What are you doing standing here?"

After recovering from the shock, she recognized the person standing next to her——

Zhou Zhaodi's mother, a woman named Lin Meixia.

"Go, go, if you don't go, it's too late! They're coming to catch you!"

The woman said very eagerly.

"What... what time is it?"

Shen Jiexing subconsciously lowered his head to touch the phone, but suddenly realized that he had nothing on him.

She didn't choose to believe the woman's words immediately, but chose to ask: "Who is here to arrest me?"

Zhou Zhaodi hadn't woken up yet, without her to guide the way, Shen Jiexing didn't really want to leave alone.

Lin Meixia didn't answer her question, but stood still, as if she was listening to something.

After a while, she seemed to have heard some bad news, and her expression became extremely ugly.

"They're here, you can't go away."

Shen Jiexing was confused by her, just when she was wondering if Lin Meixia had a mental illness, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

The footsteps were chaotic and urgent, as if more than a dozen people were walking towards this side at the same time.

Shen Jiexing's first reaction was to grab a handful of dirt from the ground and wipe it on his face.

The next moment, the door was slammed open, a few flashlights shone in, and the voice of the little boy heard during the day sounded.

"Look, I'm not wrong, Zhou Zhaodi just secretly hid a woman!"

Zhou Zhaodi was startled awake, jumped up from the bed, and screamed, "What are you doing!"

"Zhou Zhaodi, why did you bring outsiders into the village?" The leader pointed to Shen Jiexing who was hiding in the corner and asked.

As a generation of dramatists, when they broke in, Shen Jiexing had already screamed and hid in the corner, shrinking himself like a mushroom.

Zhou Zhaodi glanced at her, saw her look a little relieved, turned her head back without fear at all, "She is a Wu lunatic, she wants to follow me back, what can I do? I dare not chase her away, What if she hits someone?"

After finishing speaking, she stared viciously at the little boy who was hiding beside the adults again, "Zhou Xiaobo, tell me, just wait, I will deal with you sooner or later."

The man next to Zhou Xiaobo pulled his son back, "No matter what, it's your fault for taking in outsiders!"

"Then what are you going to do?" Zhou Zhaodi ignored him, only staring at the leader and asked.

"I still need a wife in my family, why don't you give her to me, I don't mind Wu Crazy."

At this time, a man standing in the corner suddenly smiled lewdly and spoke.

Zhou Zhaodi rolled her eyes, walked to Shen Jiexing, pulled up her sleeve and pulled her wrist, showing a section of her wrist, "Come, come, take it if you want, as long as you are not afraid of death."

In the not-so-bright light, there seemed to be a patch of red hidden in the shadow of the sleeve.

The man didn't doubt Zhou Zhaodi's words, he took a step back and cursed, "Unlucky."

"Then what should we do?" The man next to Zhou Xiaobo asked, "The day after tomorrow is the River God Festival, so it's unrealistic to send someone out, and if she throws her away in the mountains, it will be troublesome if she runs back by herself, otherwise——"

He looked honest, but there was a stern look flashing between his brows.

The leader thought for a while, "Forget it, one more thing is worse than one less thing, just lock her in the temple, how to deal with it after the river god sacrifice."

Zhou Zhaodi's face was sullen and she didn't speak. The two men stepped forward, took Shen Jiexing's arm and dragged it out.

Shen Jiexing looked back at her, and the girl said, "I will go to see her, you better not bully her! Otherwise, I'm not easy to mess with!"

It was a little funny for a little girl to say this, but the leader nodded, "You can watch it if you want, and you can deliver food yourself, just don't let her out."

Shen Jiexing knew that this was the end, so he didn't resist anymore, pretending to be a lunatic, it will only work if there is a possibility of winning, now it's better to be quiet and see where they are going to take him, anyway, listen to their conversation, this group of people He probably didn't want his own life yet.

She lowered her hand, and a red broken step fell from her sleeve.
