Chapter 339 What is your relationship with Lian Niang?
Lin Shuyue stared at the woman on the ground with cold eyes.
"Who are you? Why is this scene happening today?"
"I..."
The woman's eyes wandered and she kept swallowing nervously.
Lin Shuyue looked impatient, and pressed the long sword in his hand against her neck: "Tell the truth. If you dare to lie, I will tie you up and throw you into the misty forest to feed the wolves."
The woman's neck was stiff and she dared not move, so she quickly confessed the truth.
"I am the wife of the Second Chief of Tianlang Village. Because of the birthmark on my neck, I was kicked out by my family. When I was trying to commit suicide, I met the Second Chief, and he took me up the mountain."
After that, she looked at Lin Shuyue with tears in her eyes and begged, "My lord, I am also a poor person. I was kicked out of my home by my family and became homeless. That's why I had no choice but to follow the bandits.
Although I am the wife of the Second Master, I have never killed anyone. Really, sir, please forgive me and let me go."
"She lied!"
The child who was knocked down by the woman stood up at some point and looked at the woman with hatred in his eyes.
His voice was a little hoarse, perhaps because he hadn't spoken for a long time.
"She was in cahoots with those bandits. She tortured several of the sisters who were captured to death. She's a bad person."
"Shut up, you bastard!"
The woman didn't expect that the child would expose her at this time, and she cursed in panic.
The child ignored her anger and just kept complaining.
"She's as bad as those bandits. My mother-in-law accidentally broke her leg while cooking, so this bad woman asked those bandits to throw her into the misty forest. She never came out again."
The woman's eyes were like knives, and she wanted to gouge him out. "Shut up! You bastard! If I had known, I would have thrown you into the misty forest to feed the wolves!"
"enough."
Lin Shuyue pressed the sword down, and the blade instantly cut through the woman's skin.
Feeling the sudden pain on her neck and the chill of the sword, the woman shuddered in fear, and a wet mark of incontinence appeared under her skirt.
Lin Shuyue wrinkled her nose and took a step back in disgust. "It seems you still want to feed the wolves. I'll grant your wish."
"No...I was wrong, sir, I was wrong."
The woman was so frightened that her face turned pale. She kowtowed desperately and begged for mercy, "I confessed everything. Please spare my life. I confessed everything..."
From the woman's trembling confession, Lin Shuyue knew the whole story.
It turned out that the women in the cave were indeed abducted by bandits and forced to give themselves to the bandits and then give birth to their children.
At first, they tried to escape, but after being beaten so many times and so severely, they gradually gave up the idea of escaping.
Over time, they discovered that there was nothing wrong with life in the mountain village. They didn't have to do heavy work, they just had to take care of their husbands and children, and they didn't have to worry about food and clothing.
It was unknown when they started colluding with the bandits. Not only did they help bully the newly abducted women, but they would also take the initiative to go down the mountain every once in a while.
They waited for passing caravans on the roadside. When they found a suitable target, they disguised themselves as poor people who had lost their husbands and children when they encountered bandits on their way back to their parents' home. They asked the caravan for a ride so that they could blend in.
When night fell, they secretly put drugs in the caravan's food.
After everyone has taken the Chinese medicine, the bandits who have been lying in ambush in the dark will show up and rob the caravan. If they come across any pretty women, they will also abduct them and take them up the mountain.
They happened to be in the village today and did not go down the mountain.
When Lin Shuyue came to their door, they hid in the house with their children, watching the bandits fight with her nervously.
Seeing the bandits being beaten back step by step, some dead and some injured, although they were extremely sad and angry, in order to survive, they had to wipe away their tears and hide in the cave behind the village with their children.
The woman with the birthmark on her neck is named Lian Niang. She is the wife of the second in command and is also a rather clever person.
She expected that Lin Shuyue would search the village, so she discussed countermeasures with other women: if Lin Shuyue came, everyone would cry in front of her, pretend to be pitiful, put themselves in the position of victims, and beg for her mercy.
When she lets her guard down, she would use the dagger hidden on her body to give her a fatal blow and avenge her husband.
Sure enough, Lin Shuyue found the cave, but they didn't expect that she was brought here by a traitor.
They originally thought that the traitor would expose them, but they didn't expect that the bandit remained silent from beginning to end.
They were delighted to find that things were going as smoothly as they had imagined. Just when they thought they had accomplished their goal, they found out that others had already seen through their plan and were waiting for them to take action.
"Sir, I have said everything I should say. Please forgive me." Lian Niang begged bitterly, her voice a little hoarse from crying.
Lin Shuyue looked at Lian Niang lying on the ground, then glanced at the dozen or so corpses behind him, feeling a little complicated for a moment.
These women were originally kind people, but they were brutally murdered by bandits. They were victims in the past, but now they have become perpetrators.
She did not regret killing them. After all, they were not innocent. The truly innocent ones were the poor women who were tortured to death by them and the caravan that suffered an unexpected disaster because of their kindness.
Lin Shuyue said to Lianniang, "I can choose not to kill you. I will hand you over to the authorities. As for how the authorities execute you, I have no control over it."
After saying that, she stepped forward and knocked Lian Niang unconscious with a palm strike.
As he stood up, he heard an angry roar and footsteps behind him.
"It's all your fault. You killed my father and my mother. I'm going to kill you to make them pay for their lives!" A boy about eight years old rushed towards Lin Shuyue holding a dagger. The hatred in his eyes was frightening.
Lin Shuyue sighed lightly, grabbed the boy's hand that was holding the dagger, and took the dagger out of his hand.
She stared into the boy's eyes, which were filled with hatred and ferocity, and whispered, "You want me to avenge your parents' lives, but what about those people your parents killed? Who will avenge them?"
The boy simply refused to listen to Lin Shuyue's words. With his hands captured, he kicked her and roared, "I don't care. You killed my parents, and you also killed so many people in the village! I'm going to kill you!"
Seeing that communication was impossible, Lin Shuyue said no more and knocked him unconscious with a palm strike.
When the other children saw this scene, they were so scared that they ran out of the cave, leaving only the one-year-old child sitting on the ground crying loudly.
However, the four or five-year-old child standing next to her did not run away. He just stood there quietly without saying a word.
Lin Shuyue ignored the children who ran away. Instead, she walked up to the five or six-year-old child and asked, "What is your relationship with Lian Niang?"
