Chapter 445  : Why Do Innocent People Have to Die?

?

“There’s a lot of resentment inside.” After saying that to Qi Yihan, Tang Li took out a talisman and threw it at the pond.

After the talisman fell into the pond, the water quickly became clear.

Looking at the clear water, Tang Li fell into deep thought.

After a while, she turned to look at Qi Yihan.

Qi Yihan asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. I’m just wondering how much information the masters can get.”

With that, she held his hand and said, “Hubby, let’s continue making the bed.”

Qi Yihan nodded and the two of them walked to the bed.

The bedsheet was the lake blue color Tang Li liked. When Tang Li saw that Qi Yihan had already laid the bedsheet, she pounced on it and kicked off her shoes, rolling on it.

Qi Yihan stood by the bed and looked at her, his lips curled up.

After Tang Li finished rolling, she sat up and patted the side. “Yihan, sit over here.”

Qi Yihan walked over and sat beside her.

Tang Li turned around and sat on his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

Qi Yihan wrapped his arms around her waist and said in a low voice, “Why are you so happy?”

“I’m not happy. I just feel that in such a depressing environment, we have to find something happy to do.” After saying that, Tang Li leaned her head on his shoulder and said to him in a low voice, “My master said that people like us often encounter the darkest and most devastating side of human beings. We have to harden our hearts and become an emotionless mystic, or we have to find fun for ourselves and adjust our mood to the best state.”

For some reason, Qi Yihan’s heart ached. He rubbed her back with his other hand and said, “With me around, I won’t let you face these depressing environments alone.”

With that, he tilted his head and sealed her lips.

After a passionate kiss, Tang Li leaned into his arms while panting. She said to him, “Although I’m not sure why this town became like this, the fact that it can become like this proves that the people in this town have done something unforgivable.”

Qi Yihan rubbed her back and nodded.

…

Butler Yang went out for nearly an hour before returning. He bought the bedding he needed and also daily necessities, pots, pans, and various condiments and ingredients.

As he organized these things, he told the two of them, “Before I bought these things, I walked around the town. This town is quite large, and most of the shops are closed. The same goes for the houses. Later, I talked to the lady boss who sells daily necessities. I heard that half of the houses in this town have been abandoned for a long time. There aren’t many old people in this town. Middle-aged people have also died for no reason in the past two years. Some are sick, and the lady boss asked us not to go out at night. At night, it will snow in this town.”

“Snow?” Tang Li frowned.

The two of them looked at her in confusion.

Tang Li said, “If it snows in June at night, it means that the resentment in this town has already gathered into Yin Spirit. This Yin Spirit can enter a person’s body. Once it enters a person’s body, they can only wait for death.”

When the two of them heard that, their expressions turned solemn.

Tang Li rubbed her chin and felt a little regretful. “I should have brought Qiqi and Linlin with me.”

Butler Yang was shocked. How could Madam have such thoughts? He said seriously, “Young Master Qiqi and Miss Linlin are still young. It’s not good for them to come here.”

Seeing how serious Butler Yang was, Tang Li smiled and said, “Butler Yang, don’t be nervous. I was just joking.”

She then winked at Qi Yihan.

Qi Yihan patted her shoulder and asked Butler Yang, “What else did the lady boss say?”

“The lady boss said that no matter what you hear at night, don’t be curious. It’ll be fine when the sun rises.”

Tang Li rubbed her chin and thought for a moment before saying to Butler Yang, “Then Butler Yang, stay in your room tonight. If anything happens, come up to me immediately.”

Butler Yang nodded. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook.

Qi Yihan followed him.

Butler Yang was a little surprised and quickly said, “Master, you and Madam can wait. I’ll cook.”

“Li likes my dishes. I’ll make two for her.”

Butler Yang was stunned and did not say anything else.

Qi Yihan picked out some ingredients and Butler Yang went to wash the utensils.

Looking at Butler Yang, Qi Yihan said, “According to what Li said just now, there must be a lot of sad things that happened in this town. If your sister is here, you have to be mentally prepared.”

After a long while, Butler Yang nodded and said, “I only hope that my sister is still alive. No matter what she has experienced, I will treat her like a princess in the future.”

Qi Yihan thought for a moment and said, “Li can make people forget the past. If you find your sister, make her forget the past.”

“Yeah.”

Tang Li stood under the patio for a while and told Qi Yihan, who was in the kitchen, before walking towards the door.

It was only a little past four in the afternoon and the sun was still hanging on the horizon. After walking out, she walked slowly along the row of houses.

The houses in this town were designed like tree trunks. There was a main road with many alleys on both sides.

Their place was not located too remotely, but when she walked along the alley, she could barely see anyone.

After walking for nearly a dozen houses, she saw a house with people inside.

When Tang Li walked over, a woman in her thirties walked out of the door.

The woman was holding a basket covered by a green cloth. No one knew what was inside. When she came out and was about to lock the door, she saw Tang Li walking over. She was obviously shocked and almost dropped the basket.

“You, you, you… When did you come to our town?”

Tang Li looked at the woman’s shocked expression and stopped to reply, “I came with a few masters at noon.”

The woman looked at her strangely and opened her mouth as if she had something to say. In the end, she gave up and walked on.

“Wait.” Tang Li stopped her.

The woman stopped and turned to look at her.

Tang Li asked, “I heard that the people here don’t dare to go out. In that case, how do you guys manage to live?”

“We have relief payment from the government. Also, there’s a factory in our town that has been operating normally. The people in town all work in the factory. Their monthly salary can be used to buy what they want when they go to the market by the river.”

“Factory?” Tang Li was a little curious. “Where is the factory? Are you going over? Can I go with you?”

The woman was a little unwilling. “You’re not from here. You’d better leave early.”

“Don’t be afraid. We came with the masters.”

The woman looked at Tang Li and shook her head. This woman really believed that a master could remove the curse in this town. She was too naive.

However, she didn’t really care about these people’s lives, so she said, “Sure, you can come if you want.”

With that, she continued walking.

Tang Li followed her. The factory was a little far from here. The two of them shuttled through the alleys. As Tang Li walked, she asked casually, “What exactly happened in this town? Why is there such a terrifying rumor? Is there an infectious disease here?”

“It’s not an infectious disease!” The woman’s voice suddenly became a little sharp, as if it was taboo to talk about this.

Seeing her like this, Tang Li said calmly, “Don’t be agitated. I was just asking.”

After hearing a crisp bell sound, the woman started talking.

“This is karma. More than ten years ago, everyone watched as she was controlled by the witch to marry that person. In the end, their souls were tied together, and the woman became neither human nor ghost.”

“Not only was she molested by ghosts at night, she was also molested by that old pervert’s father-in-law during the day. When she resisted, she injured that old pervert and was dragged to the pond by her mother-in-law. At that time, everyone in town went to the pond. They watched as the woman was drowned while shouting she would never let anyone in this village off.”

After hearing this, Tang Li frowned. For this town to be haunted by such a powerful Yin Spirit, the woman in the pond must have suffered more than just these grievances. She asked the woman, “Where is the family you’re talking about?”

“Patriarch’s house.”

It turned out that everyone in this town had the same surname. Other than the mayor, there was also a patriarch. In a place like this, the patriarch had much more power than the town mayor.

Tang Li asked again, “Is the patriarch’s family all dead?”

“No, they were protected by a master. They won’t die.”

When the woman said this, there was obvious anger in her voice.

Tang Li asked again, “How about your family?”

The woman suddenly broke down and started crying. “They’re all dead. They’re all dead because of that woman. Boohoo… Why do innocent people have to die.”

Tang Li looked at the crying woman and fell into deep thought.

After a while, she waited for the woman to calm down before snapping her fingers.

The woman’s body trembled, and her expression changed drastically. She tilted her head to look at Tang Li and asked anxiously, “What did I just say to you?”

Tang Li said, “You said that all your family members are dead and you’re the only one left.”

When the woman heard this, she broke down and started crying again. As she cried, she said resentfully, “It’s all because of that woman. If not for that woman, our town wouldn’t have become like this!”

After saying that, she lowered her head and strode forward without saying anything.

Tang Li did not stop her. She just followed behind her unhurriedly. The two of them walked for nearly twenty minutes before arriving near the factory on the other side of the town.

The factory in this town was a garment factory.

Tang Li stopped ten meters away from the garment factory. She looked at the talismas on the door and the wall and did not follow the woman in.

The woman glanced at her and walked towards the garment factory without saying anything.

Tang Li stood outside the factory for a while before turning around and walking to the other side.

After taking a few steps, her phone rang. It was from Qi Yihan. Tang Li told him about it and went back the way she came.
