Chapter 260 Witch
"Lingxi is missing? How could it be missing?"
Qian Qian asked the system without waiting for Ouyang Nanxin to answer, [Where is Lingxi? ]
The system said hurriedly, [He was captured by the villagers and taken to the altar. ]
【altar?】
[Yes, Princess, don't worry,] the system was busy trying to comfort her, [Lingxi has a secret guard by her side, she is safe now.]
Qian Qian nodded and took Ouyang Nanxin to the altar of Muyu Village.
The altar of Muyu Village is located in the center of the village. It is a huge round platform made of woven hay.
There are wooden stakes supporting the circular platform, which is about one meter high.
Qian Qian and his group hurried to the altar, and saw Lingxi and three secret guards wearing evil ghost masks confronting several old men on the altar.
Under the altar, behind the old man were villagers with helpless looks on their faces.
Qian Qian looked at the villagers with a puzzled look, "Tongzi, look at those villagers."
The system was helpless, [Well, those villagers actually don’t have any idea about Lingxi. ]
[The four old men actually wanted to offer sacrifices to the heavens to comfort the dead souls, and the leader, Granny Yin, was the most extreme.]
【Why? 】
Qian Qian asked in a deep voice.
[About 20 years ago, a wizard who could heal diseases appeared in Muyu Village.]
[The wizard was a woman. She had been deeply loved by the villagers in Muyu Village for several years.]
[But in the following years, young people in Muyu Village disappeared one after another. ]
[Those young people were between 20 and 30 years old, and they were the strong laborers who could support their families.]
[Because there were so many missing young people, the villagers of Muyu Village had to launch an investigation. ]
[Later, many bodies of young villagers were found in the witch's house.]
[The villagers were furious and tied the witch to the altar and left her exposed to the wind, rain and sun.]
[At the same time, she was not given food or water, but the witch disappeared five days later.]
[Missing?] Qian Qian frowned, [Did someone let her go?]
[This,] System sorry, [Princess, I can’t eat this part of the melon.]
Qian Qian thought of the strange boy they found. [Are those things related to the man found under the stove?]
The system pondered, [It's hard to say. The incident with the witch happened at least twenty years ago.]
[But, the boy we found was only about twelve or thirteen years old, this...]
Qian Qian took a deep breath and looked at the altar again.
On the altar, Granny Yin's wrinkled face was filled with sorrow.
"It's you. Even if you were burned to ashes, I, an old woman, would still be able to recognize you."
Her tone was sharp, her eyes were filled with tears, "If it weren't for you, my two children would not have died. It's you, it's you."
"Grandma Yin," one villager tried to persuade the old lady, "it's been more than 20 years since that incident, and the girl in front of you is only in her early twelfth year."
"She is the reincarnation of that bitch," Granny Yin refused to listen to the others' dissuasion, "She must be the reincarnation of that bitch, otherwise how could there be someone so similar in this world?"
Qian Qian rubbed his forehead, and Ouyang Nanxin stamped her feet anxiously.
Sometimes he tugged at the princess' sleeve, sometimes he patted your arm.
Ah Miao could no longer bear it and shouted in a low voice, "Behave yourself. If you move again, I'll chop off your hand."
Money money...
Big flower...
Ouyang Nanxin...
"Wow, wow," she sobbed softly, covering her mouth.
Everyone...
Qian Qian's mouth twitched, [Tongzi, does Lingxi look a lot like that witch? ]
The system groaned, [Fortunately, the lower half of the face is indeed quite similar, but Princess,]
He shouted anxiously, "I can't eat Granny Yin's melon."
【ha? 】
Qian Qian was shocked, [No, this is too...]
As she spoke, she carefully observed Granny Yin, from head to toe and from arms to ankles.
Wait, ankle?
Qian Qian looked at Grandma Yin's hands again. They were a pair of hands covered with age spots.
Those hands were as worn out as Granny Yin's face, but Granny Yin's ankles...
Qian Qian lowered her voice and whispered in Sister Hua's ear, "Sister Hua, look at Grandma Yin's ankles. Isn't the skin on her ankles too delicate?"
Dahua looked over and saw a small section of Grandma Yin's ankle exposed under her slightly rolled-up trouser legs.
That small section of skin was indeed extremely delicate, not only delicate but also very fair.
She thought carefully for a while, and saw that Granny Yin was still calling Lingxi a witch and a bitch.
Dahua rummaged through her own space and took out something using the cover of her bag.
He handed the item to Qian Qian and whispered, "This is something I got from Jiang Mingzhu. This thing can remove all the means of concealing your appearance."
Qian Qian raised his eyebrows and looked at Sister Hua with confusion.
Dahua grinned, "If you often travel in Chu, disguise is a must when going out."
Qian Qian nodded and whispered, "Yin Zi, find a way to sprinkle this on Granny Yin's face."
"Yes."
Granny Yin was still pointing at Lingxi angrily and yelling, "You witch, you bitch, give me back my child's life. You, you must be the reincarnation of that witch, you must be..."
Qian Qian finally realized something was wrong and asked loudly, "How can this old man confirm that Ling Xi is the reincarnation of a female wizard?"
Granny Yin looked down at the altar and saw that the little girl who spoke was as pretty as a piece of jade. She was moved.
It’s a pity that the child is too young, but he can be raised for a few years.
Her voice trembled slightly. "Everyone knows what happened back then. Why should we tell a little kid like you more?"
"Oh," Qian Qian deliberately prolonged the tone, "That's strange. I heard that the witch ran away in the end and didn't die?"
"Granny Yin keeps talking about reincarnation. I thought you had confirmed that the witch was dead."
After he finished speaking, the villagers looked at each other.
They looked at Granny Yin with confusion. Yes, until now they didn't know the final whereabouts of the witch.
Since we neither see the person alive nor the body dead, we have no idea whether he is dead or alive.
Surrounded by questioning gazes, Granny Yin sneered and her face suddenly felt cold before she could speak.
It was Lin Yin who took action.
Qian Qian and the others watched as Lin Yin brazenly smeared the handkerchief soaked in medicine on Grandma Yin's face.
Everyone...
"No, is the silver so expensive?"
Dahua tilted her head in confusion.
Qian Qian's eyelids twitched, "Maybe you can't think of a better way?"
"Goose, goose, goose." Ouyang Nanxin knew that Lingxi would be fine, and she relaxed. "Goose, goose,"
Ah Miao...
"Ancestor, please shut up."
I have never heard such an ugly laugh. No, A Miao pinched his own arm hard.
I couldn't understand why I fell in love with this guy in the first place. I glanced at the princess unconsciously. Alas, what a pity.
Ouyang Nanxin pursed her lips and dared not say anything more, while the sounds of gasps were heard all around her.
When the villagers saw the wrinkles and age spots on Grandma Yin's face being wiped away by the girl, they were so scared that they didn't dare to say a word.
Lin Yin didn't care about anything and quickly touched Granny Yin's face several times.
Granny Yin didn't even have time to exclaim before her true face was revealed.
After a moment, the older villagers almost screamed, "It's you."
"It's you, you are the witch, it's you,"
"You, you are still alive, you dare to live,"
"You, why haven't you changed your appearance?"
"Yes, it's been more than 20 years, why is she still the same as before..."
