Ting Ting told me that the reason why Witch Grandma would get anxious and walk away after hearing her say something big is......
Du Jie and his gang have arrived at the foot of the mountain! They're preparing to lead their men in a raid on the village, it seems they've come to rescue me!
Isn't this nonsense?!
I heard Han Feiyan say that outside the village, there are all kinds of traps set by witches and various sinister spells. Even the stones on the road can kill people. They call this kind of stone "stone gu", I don't understand it specifically, anyway, the meaning is that if these people dare to rush into the village, they will definitely die!
Moreover, Han Feiyan also said that someone had previously wanted to take action against this village, and even the government's corrupt officials heard some reports wanting to destroy this village, resulting in heavy casualties. In the end, no one dared to come to Ma'ge Village to make trouble again. Even Han Feiyan heard from a witch that this village has connections with the higher-ups and is not someone ordinary people can afford to provoke.
I heard that Du Jie brought people here, I'm anxious. I don't care about others, but I absolutely don't want to see anything happen to Du Jie, no matter what. Moreover, in order to save Du Jie, Han Feiyan and I have done so much work, all of which cannot be wasted.
So I grasped Tingting's hand and begged her: "Tingting, please, hurry up and find Du Jie over the mountain, try to get him to leave!"
"This... this I can do? But that's the witch who personally went to supervise, driving away your brother in front of the witch, it seems very difficult!"
"No matter how difficult it is, you have to help me! Don't worry, if you help me, I'll be willing to accompany you no matter what you want me to do in the future!"
"Really?" Tingting looked at me with a playful expression.
"I tricked you, I'm your grandson!" I also said recklessly.
"That's settled, then I'll give it a try." Tingting replied.
"Then thank you, if you see him and can make him leave, tell him that we are in this together, I have important things to do in the village, don't let him cause trouble for me, he's not saving me, he's harming me! Also, ask him to send a message of safety to my family, any reason is fine, but absolutely cannot mention this village again, and don't tell outsiders either!"
"Hmm! I'll try my best!" Tingting replied to me briefly before hurrying away.
After Tingting left, Han Feiyan said to me: "Alright, don't worry about the people outside for now. You can't even take care of yourself, how are you going to take care of your brothers outside?"
It wasn't until Han Feiyan said that, that I remembered I was still in a desperate situation. Wait till the witch finishes her business and comes back, I'm not sure if I'll be able to survive or not!
"So what are we going to do now? You can't just watch me die, can you?" I asked.
Seeing me ask like this, Han Feiyan replied to me: "There's no other way, we can only gamble on it. If the witch finds out, then that's just our fate! Now follow me outside and help me carry Autumn Beauty from the backyard into here. I'll use the fastest method to transform her into your appearance. Then you change clothes with her, and immediately put Autumn Beauty's corpse in the jar and cover it well, using it to impersonate you. If the witch doesn't examine carefully, she probably won't be able to tell. If she does examine carefully, then we can only really accept our fate!"
Hearing Han Feiyan say that, I felt that this was the only thing to do. In order to seize the time, I hurriedly followed Han Feiyan to lift up Qiu Li's corpse. However, because my body is currently in a numb state and there isn't a single bit of strength throughout my entire body, in the end it was Han Feiyan who carried Qiu Li's corpse on her back, while I was responsible for helping her drag along Qiu Li's two legs.
After Autumn Lihua's body was lifted up, Han Feiyan couldn't help but feel exhausted, and began to take out the oil paint and started working busily. In about ten or so minutes, Autumn Lihua's face had my basic outline. Another ten or so minutes passed, and Autumn Lihua completely had ninety percent of my appearance. After finishing the painting, I changed into the clothes on Autumn Lihua's body, then put Autumn Lihua's body in the jar, and covered it up.
After doing all this, Han Feiyan had me hide in a small recessed space in the attic, telling me no matter what happened, I mustn't make a sound.
After hiding me well, Han Feiyan began to clean up the water stains on the ground and the footprints I left behind with black water.
After everything was done, Han Feiyan suddenly opened the window again and drove away the smell in the attic. Seeing her do this, I realized at this time that when painting oil colors on Autumn's face earlier, those oil colors must have emitted a smell, which would be fatal if Witch Grandma smelled it!
But now there is no way to get rid of this taste, and can only act according to circumstances.
Next, it was a long wait for me and He Feiyan. I thought that after waiting for about an hour or so, the witch would be back, but half a day passed and there was still no sign of her return.
It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, and just as I was dozing off with Han Feiyan and others, the door suddenly opened, and then came the sound of footsteps going up the stairs. Through the gap in the small room, I saw someone coming up, and that person was Tingting. After Tingting went upstairs, I saw her exchange a few words with Han Feiyan, then open the lid to take a look at the jar again. Then she focused her attention on me and quickly walked towards me.
When she walked to the front of my small compartment, Tingting whispered to me: "I know you're inside. Luckily, I found your brother Du Jie first and let him persuade me to leave. I also told him what you wanted to say to him, I believe he can listen to it. My business is done, remember your promise!"
Hearing her say that, I felt a sense of relief and replied to her: "No problem, unless you cut me up, otherwise do whatever you want!"
Listen to me say this, Tingting didn't turn her face away, but instead showed a sly smile and then swayed her hips as she went over to Han Feiyan's side.
About twenty minutes after Tingting returned, the witch brought that man to the attic as well. Through the interlayer, I could clearly see that the witch had a face full of killing intent, looking like she was extremely unhappy.
When he saw the witch come, Han Feiyan walked over with a worried face and asked the witch: "Witch, how are things in the village?"
"Cough, cough, I don't know if that little brat was too scared or heard some rumors, but he managed to escape. However, the remaining group of reckless fools were caught in my trap and eliminated. Not worth worrying about, just a bunch of people coming to send themselves to death. Anyway, let's not bother with other things for now, is the kid in that jar dead?" The witch turned her attention to Han Feiyan and asked.
When she asked this, Han Feiyan seemed quite calm. She smiled and replied to Witch Grandma: "After you left, the jar was quiet, I guess it was suffocated."
Hearing Han Feiyan say this, the witch looked at Han Feiyan and then gave her an order: "You open the lid a bit, I'll take a look myself."
"Oh!" Han Feiyan nodded.
Just as Han Feiyan was about to open the lid, Tingting suddenly interrupted and said: "Mother-in-law, since everyone is already trapped inside, what's the point of looking at him? He's just a dead person, it's so unlucky to look at him!"
"Now it's your turn to speak? What does a little girl like you know? Stand aside!" The witch scolded Tingting with an unpleasant tone.
The witch opened the lid and Han Feiyan had no choice but to follow suit. After the lid was opened, the witch stretched out her head to inspect it.
Seeing the witch checking the corpse in the altar, my heart was lifted to my throat, and at the same time, I also saw Han Feiyan and Tingting staring motionlessly at the witch, believing they were also very nervous.
After a while, the witch nodded and said to Han Feiyan: "Hmm! It seems that he suffocated, but even so, we still need to cover it with a lid, seal the jar with concrete, and seal him in the jar for three days. This is the rule. After three days, when you unseal it, you will be responsible for taking good care of him. Half a year later, when I take away this jar, it will be the time to release your daughter."
"Thank you, Auntie Witch." Han Feiyan pretended to be very grateful and immediately wanted to hurry up and cover the lid.
Just as Han Feiyan was about to cover it up, the witch suddenly changed her expression and said: "Wait a minute, have you smelled a strange smell?"
Hearing the old witch say this, I was scared. I feared that the old witch's nose was keen and had smelled the scent of oil paint.
Just as the witch felt something was wrong and sniffed hard with her nose, this time, Tingting helped us get out of trouble cleverly again, and the way she got us out of trouble was particularly damaging!
