Chapter 1459 - 206: Guiding Envoy
Chapter 1459 - 206: Guiding Envoy
Xu Shu was lost in thought, his blood boiling, as he lifted a section of the roof to look down.
When he saw the two people entwined on the bed, he suddenly realized what was happening.
Goodness, so after grinding the red bean paste, they weren’t satisfied and now they’re grinding tofu!
Damn it, things are so tough already, can’t they save some energy? People are really not what they used to be!
However, the man’s desire seemed lesser, venting more anger.
So as the world continued to decay, and decay again, he got up to tidy the utensils.
Suddenly, he kicked over a stool and cursed angrily, "Dammit, that bitch! She stayed here for quite a while, watched for so long, and I’ve never seen that man before; he must not be from the town. She must have brought someone from the county, having brought him personally to choose a sacrifice! They’ve set their sights on our Lele and Fangfang!
"I said a long time ago that this wretched woman is nothing but a thankless wolf! She forgot who helped her family arrange the funeral when her man died? And now she dares to do this, truly a beast among beasts!"
The woman put on a hemp skirt, hugged her husband, her face streaked with tears: "Then what do we do?"
"What else can we do? Both Lele and Fangfang have that damned Bosha Cress on them, we definitely can’t protect them this time, but when night falls, I’m going to kill that bitch! Even in death, I’ll take her with me!" the man said through gritted teeth.
"But she’s a witch, protected by the divine form of the old mother, how could you possibly fight her?" the woman said.
"But I..."
"If Lele and Fangfang are gone, and if you are too, how am I, a widow, supposed to live?" she cried out, embracing him as they both burst into tears.
After a while, the man said, "Alas, this damned world, perhaps we should have another child."
"Hey, my dear? Waaah~"
Before the woman could finish speaking, the man began grinding tofu again.
Like a white-robed celestial star descending, moving effortlessly. High on the city wall flies the flag, but the fierce woman of Hedong has lost her strength.
In this decaying world, a man’s voice suddenly interjected.
"Amazing! You two can really go at it, you’re truly something! Do you not care that your kids are like prized cabbages grown in your field, taken without feeling pain?" Xu Shu marveled.
By now, Xiao Ya stood disgustedly outside, not wanting to come in and witness the scene, feeling it was too much for her eyes.
"Aiya!"
"Who?"
The couple was so scared they fell out.
Hurriedly dressing, they looked around the room before they saw Xu Shu leisurely sitting on a round stool, watching the live drama.
"It’s you!" The man’s pupils shrank as he immediately recognized the tall, strong young man in front of him as the "county visitor" beside Yang Su earlier.
Now, the man’s suspicions were completely confirmed, that heartless widow truly intends to use his children as replacements for her daughter!
To be honest, he had already given up resisting, prepared for the painful loss of his children.
But seeing the visitor directly at his doorstep changed things, awakening the last spark of fighting spirit within him.
"I’ll fight you to the end!"
The man grabbed a nearby long bench and charged at Xu Shu like an enraged beast.
With a bang, it was as if he hit an iron wall, the bench shattered, and he fell to the ground, his hands bloodied.
Xu Shu patted his shoulder, brushing off wood splinters.
He had overheard their pillow talk, catching words like sacrifice, children, and the old mother’s Guiding Envoy, and already had some understanding of the situation here.
Needless to say, it was all about those rituals of worshiping wild gods and seeking protection.
Small rituals offer chicken, duck, and fish, while large ones offer young boys and girls.
Xu Shu understood this perfectly!
However, he still needed to inquiry further for details.
"My name is Liu Yuan, and I am the newly appointed county magistrate of Luling County, here to set things right!" Xu Shu put on airs, "Tell me, what happened, and I’ll seek justice for you!"
"The new county magistrate?"
The man trembled as he crawled up, exchanged a glance with his wife, then gritted his teeth and bowed deeply.
