I saw these villagers coming. I knew everyone here. My grandmother was a midwife. Our village is located in a very remote area, far away from the big hospital in the county, so there are people like my grandmother who deliver babies.

The women in the village, more or less favored by my grandmother, are still the same people. In the blink of an eye, they will violate their conscience. This is the reality of how selfish people are.

When my eyes glanced over their faces, they all looked away. These people seemed to still have some unconquered conscience. But not everyone, some people have no conscience at all. Some people even threw stones at me in order to please the village chief and get a place in the village.

"Huh?" I just dodged this one, and another one hit me directly on the forehead, like it had eyes. It hurt so much that I burst into tears.

"How did my grandma treat you back then? She did so many good things in order for your children to be born smoothly, but now you want to force her only granddaughter to death?"

I shouted these words, and those who were throwing stones at me stopped. If I hadn't told them, they would have pretended not to know about it and would have treated me even more harshly.

"Don't be fooled by her. Bad women are the best at deceiving others. Naturally, we always remember the kindness her grandmother did in our hearts, but it was not her doing. Could it be that Jing Ning did such a bad thing? Do you want her grandma to carry it for her?"

Aunt Li came over and quickly added something, which made the people who were soft-hearted just now start to get angry again.

I stared at Aunt Li, not expecting her to do this. Well, if I survive the disaster today, I will definitely come back to settle the score with her one day.

Aunt Li also saw my resentful eyes. She was too busy to look away, as if something was on her mind. I felt that what happened to the village chief's son had something to do with her. But now there is no evidence, no one will believe me.

The gang tied me up and put me in a pig cage. This time the attack was not polite at all. I had gone into this pig cage before, and a few days later I came in again, and I didn’t feel like a stranger at all.

"Shentang, Shentang..." Those people started to boo again, human life was not worth mentioning in front of them.

It seems that I am doomed today.

The village chief waved his hands sadly, and the people picked up the pig cage and took me towards the reservoir.

It was the gears of fate that brought me back here.

Is this the punishment Xuan Mo told me?

Let me feel what it feels like to be abandoned by my own kind.

They threw me into the water without mercy. The pig cage was filled with stones, and my hands and feet were tied. When I got into the water, my body kept sinking and my eyesight became darker and darker.

I struggled in the water, but it was in vain. I couldn't break free from the rope that tied my hands and feet. Finally, I closed my eyes unwillingly.

If the sky has eyes and allows me to turn into a ghost after death, I will also kill all those who have bullied me...

I felt like thousands of ice picks were being stabbed into my chest, causing bursts of pain, especially between breaths. Do dead people also feel this kind of pain?

I shook my eyelids slightly, then slowly opened my eyes, and saw myself lying on the bed, in a place that still felt familiar, in the room where Xuan Mo imprisoned me.

So saying that I am still alive, I don’t know whether to be happy or sad. But I can't die without fulfilling my wish.

After this time, I understood that no matter how I escaped, I could not escape the wheel of fate. After going round and round, I came back again.

Since I can't escape the shackles of this fate, why should I escape? If I live in another way and continue to fight, one day I will realize my wish.

After lying in bed for a long time, I finally figured it out.

At this time, several beauties came into the room and they helped me up.

"What are you going to do?" I am hostile to everything here and cannot completely trust them. After all, their master wants my life.

A beautiful lady came out and saluted me.

"Don't be afraid, we don't dare to hurt you. Just because of the master's instructions, let us serve you!"

I still don’t understand the meaning of these words. Would Xuan Mo be so kind to let Gui Ji serve me? The men had taken me to the bathroom, and they were washing me.

I don't really like people touching me, but I found that I couldn't move anymore. I was like a puppet being moved back and forth by them.

After these people cleaned my body, they put me back into a beautiful dress.

However, this dress is beautiful, but there are too many exposed parts of the body. I would never dare to dress like this. This dress is a bikini worn under the gauze.

"What on earth are you going to do?"

I was very unhappy that I couldn't do anything and was being manipulated by them. But those things don't seem to speak, they just do things silently. Ignore me.

These women who serve me are actually not human beings either. If I guessed correctly, they should also be water ghosts who died in this river. These water ghosts have no magic power, so they can only be controlled by Xuan Mo and captured as long-term laborers.

They tidied me up, rolled me into a blanket, and carried me to another room. Why does this look remind me of the harem of ancient emperors?

The emperor would turn over whose name he wanted to be lucky, and then have the concubine wash her body, be naked, rolled up in a quilt, and be carried to the emperor's bedroom by the eunuchs.

Yeah, what the hell is going on in my damn head?

While I was still thinking wildly, I was already carried into a bedroom.

The bedroom is lit with warm yellow lights, has a gorgeous round bed, and layers of gauze hanging down. The air here is filled with a confusing and alluring aroma.

I was gently placed on the bed, the gauze curtain was covered again, and the ghost girls retreated one after another until they disappeared, and there was no more sound here.

What did they bring me here for?

Do you want to change my room? There was no need to stir up trouble like this. I rolled around on the bed and took off the blanket.

I felt unsafe here and it made me nervous. I got out of bed and opened the door to escape. But after trying several times, the door couldn't be opened at all.

But this time I heard a hissing sound behind me.

That cold and familiar voice, like a ghost, penetrated my ears and struck my heart.

I felt something coming behind me, getting closer and closer. My hand was still holding on to the door handle, and my nervous fingernails were already embedded in my palm, and I didn't know the pain.

When I was nervous to the limit and the string in my mind was about to burst, a cold hand was placed on my shoulder.

My body felt like electricity, and electricity passed through my body quickly. It turns out that when a person is extremely nervous, he will not move at all. I felt like my blood had solidified and my body was as stiff as a dead person.

His breath had already sprayed on my neck, and every hair was blown away. After that, waves of numb pain came from my neck and spread throughout my body.

He let me go, and I turned my head. When I saw that person, my heart was suddenly shocked!
