Zhan Xiong's words made me disappointed. At this moment, his son Du Feng had already been possessed by Yu Li. He not only didn't care if his son's life was in danger, but also started conversing with this female ghost.
However, as Zhan Xiong's words fell, the female ghost visibly trembled and much of her previous animosity dissipated, but she still spoke in a sharp voice, "You're talking nonsense, don't think I don't know what you're really thinking. You heartlessly abandoned me in the past, and I made a vow, I want to make your life a living hell!"
Seeing that this vow was about to come true, I wanted to speak, but Grandfather held me back and gently shook his head.
Zhan Xiong took a step forward and asked, "Li Li, do you really hate me that much?"
"Hate?" Yu Li sneered repeatedly and, while turning in place, said in a cold voice, "I drowned myself with bound feet in the cold water long ago in the little river in your hometown, I no longer know what hate is. All I have been determined to see is the destruction of your family. I want you to always remember that you are responsible for someone's life!"
"Could it be that Zhan Xiong has also killed someone?" I sighed inwardly.
But Yu Li was truly overflowing with hatred and resentment. I thought that a shallow river of only one and a half meters couldn't possibly drown an adult. I never expected her to be so resolute, to actually bind her feet, fully resolved to die.
Zhan Xiong stood in place, at a loss for words for a long time.
Yu Li coldly said, "Why can't you speak now? Do you still remember the hurtful words you said to me two years ago? My heart died that day, today I'm going to kill everyone here!"
"Nonsense, today I will personally make your soul scatter!" Grandfather stood up abruptly and, saying that, pulled out dozens of talismans from a wooden box.
Although dispelling a ghost would harm one's own karma, there was no other choice at this moment. If we let her go wild, we would all end up dead here.
Before I could react, Grandfather suddenly threw two talismans into the air and, at the same time, grabbed a handful of glutinous rice and threw it forward. The glutinous rice struck the talismans and quickly flew towards Yu Li.
This sudden scene left Yu Li with no time to think, the talismans fell upon her and a sound of burning flames was heard. Yu Li let out a scream and was forcefully thrown backward. At that moment, Grandfather didn't pause at all, he threw out ten talismans in succession, and Yu Li kept rolling on the ground, her clothes charred.
"Old man, kill me and this child will die with me!" A sharp female voice came from Du Feng, I changed my expression. What grandfather was doing was illegal.
Who would have known that he would shout, "Even if I become a criminal today, I will personally make sure you never surpass life!"
"You...Ah..." The screams were non-stop.
Yvonne lay on the ground shivering in the room, the grandfather did not lift his hand, he strode over, ready to throw dozens of talismans again, but Du Zhanxiong suddenly flashed in front of the grandfather and begged, "Uncle, please let her go, as long as her hatred can be resolved, I will endure any pain in silence."
Grandfather steadied his action and said, "Child, why do this to yourself? Didn't you hear what he just said? The resentment in her heart has exceeded my control, if I let her go today, it will definitely be a big problem in the future!"
"But..."
"There is no 'but', get out of the way!" Grandfather said loudly, and continued to throw the talismans in his hand.
At the moment the talisman pierced through the door, Du Zhanxiong suddenly broke free from the blood rope net, and directly lay down beside Yvonne who was attached to Du Feng's body.
The talisman could not harm living people. After blocking the attack for Yvonne, Du Zhanxiong closed his eyes and said, "Lili, as long as you are willing to spare my son, you can kill me now."
"Ah..." Yvonne screamed, struggling to stand up and retreat, "Sparing your child? What about my child? Who will spare my child?"
The piercing scream made my scalp tingle, and I watched her pounce towards Du Zhanxiong, startled, I quickly closed my eyes.
But the next moment, there was no screaming or sounds of pain, when I opened my eyes, I found that Du Feng was lying on the ground motionless, and Yvonne attached to him also showed no signs of movement.
"She's gone!" Grandfather sighed deeply, frowned and looked at Du Zhanxiong, "Your son’s whole soul hasn’t been found yet. If the female ghost hadn't left, it might have been possible to force her to return that part of his soul. But now that she's gone, it'll be very difficult to find her again."
I don't know if it was because grandfather's words were too severe, or if he was stimulated by the scene just now, Du’s mother cried out, "Zhanxiong, what trouble have you caused? How could you provoke the female ghost back? If something happens to my grandson, I won't be able to live anymore, oh..."
"Mom, can you calm down a bit?" Du Zhanxiong said irritably.
I didn’t have any curiosity about the matter between him and the female ghost. But now, the person to solve the puzzle is Du Zhanxiong. Since he has offended the female ghost, only he can untie the knot in her heart.
After thinking for a long time, I licked my lips and asked, "Big Brother Du, if I may ask, what exactly is the grudge between you and Yvonne? Why does she want to harm your son so desperately?"
Du Zhanxiong handed a cigarette to me and grandfather, I quickly waved my hand, he lit one himself, and then sat on the chair and sighed.
In short, I finally learned that six years ago, Du Zhanxiong's original wife had passed away from a serious illness, and in order to take care of the family, he went to work at a construction site with some people from the same village. However, he had leadership skills and within two years, he became a contractor. During a business meeting, he met Yvonne, who was a company clerk at the time.
Yvonne was young and fell in love with Du Zhanxiong the moment she saw him. Du Zhanxiong, knowing he was still young and that the child couldn't be without a mother, began a relationship with Yvonne. Their relationship quickly reached the stage of discussing marriage, he had quietly told Du Feng about this, but it was met with strong opposition from Du Feng.
Helpless, Du Zhanxiong discussed postponing the marriage with Yvonne, but Yvonne told him a shocking message, she was pregnant. In order for the child to gradually accept his new stepmother, Du Zhanxiong hoped that Yvonne would abort the child, but she refused. During this period, both sides used a lot of malicious language against each other. Feeling like she was just a plaything to Du Zhanxiong, Yvonne told him that she would rather die than give birth to the child. At first, Du Zhanxiong didn't have much thought and agreed, but after Yvonne privately aborted the child, she went back to her hometown and drowned herself in the river.
Love itself is not right or wrong, but if it involves one's life, it becomes too reckless.
Grandpa finished smoking his pipe and then looked up, saying, "Back then, you essentially killed Yu Li's child, and now she wants to avenge by killing your child."
Du Zhanxiong nodded repeatedly, "I'm afraid of this. Yu Li has a fierce temper. If she says something, she will definitely do it. Now it has finally come true."
