Almost all the Feng family members were crazy.
After the two sons of Granny Feng lost their so - called wives, they seemed to have lost their only restraint and embarked on an even more sinful life.
Their way of finding women was simple and brutal. When they saw a lone woman, they'd knock her out with a club and take her back. After torturing her to death, they'd bury her under the old willow tree...
At some point, Feng Xiaobao, the only male heir of the Feng family, changed. He was originally a normally - developing child, but he became shorter and more silent. He would take his younger sister and play under the big willow tree behind the courtyard for a whole day.
From that time on, Feng Qianqian could see several women hanging on the tree, and her elder brother called one of the women "Mom"!
After growing up, the Feng brothers locked Feng Qianqian up for fear that she would escape like her elder sister.
If it weren't for Feng Xiaobao often bringing food to his younger sister, she might have starved to death in that small dark room...
"Brother, don't kill anyone!"
Feng Qianqian cried bitterly. Having witnessed with her own eyes how that handsome and tall man dealt with those two inhumane relatives, she didn't want her brother to turn into a bloody mess!
"I can't help it, Qianqian. I can't turn back!"
A sorrowful look appeared on Feng Xiaobao's deformed face.
Every night, he could hear his mother's voice calling from the big willow tree outside the window, saying, "Son, mother is so hungry. Find something for mother to eat."
He once tried to put the rice porridge and food at home on the root of the tree, but the kind - looking mother in his memory had become hideous. Her face was like dry tree bark with two blood - red pupils. She tightly grabbed Feng Xiaobao's shoulder with her hand like a withered branch and said, "Look at your father! How nice he is to me! Who wants to eat your swill?!"
Feng Xiaobao was so scared that he cried. In his memory, his father and uncle had always beaten and scolded his mother. They didn't even avoid others when bullying her!
He wanted to be filial to his mother, so he wondered what delicious food his father and uncle would bring to her.
Coincidentally, his father and uncle kidnapped a woman from somewhere and locked her in the room for three days and three nights. When the woman stopped making any sound, his uncle wrapped her in a sack and carried her to the back of the courtyard.
Feng Xiaobao secretly followed them.
He saw his uncle digging in the deep pit where the garbage was piled with a shovel. His mother was sitting on the tree branch, and her withered - branch - like hand was holding the dead woman and gnawing on her bit by bit. She found Feng Xiaobao peeping and then waved the mutilated arm in her hand.
"Son, look. Mother likes to eat this!"
That scarlet gaze was like a curse, firmly controlling Feng Xiaobao.
From that day on, he learned from his father and uncle and started hunting for women. However, he was too short and too weak, so he could only target children...
"Stop it!"
While the siblings were talking, I quickly pinched a purification spell and slapped it on Feng Xiaobao's head. "What you see and feel are all false illusions!"
Taking advantage of his momentary daze, I snatched the hemp rope around Bai Wei's neck and dragged the frightened Bai Wei on the ground towards Si Jiangchen.
That guy and Wei Yuan were both like "lazy masters" and had no sense of being a hero to save the beauty!
Bai Wei threw herself into Si Jiangchen's arms with a soft moan and fainted.
I didn't have time to care about them. I tied Feng Xiaobao's hands tightly with the hemp rope.
This man didn't struggle. He was like a hollowed - out deformed clay figure, just sitting there stupidly and letting me tie him up tightly.
The moment I pasted the spell on his head, he was probably already dead...
As the only person with a conscience in this family, when I rescued his mind from the control of the willow tree spirit, his heart had already been crushed by remorse and guilt...
His eyes stared blankly at the original position of the big willow tree, and he murmured, "Mom... Mom! Didn't you say that as long as I'm filial to you, you'll grow up and come down to live at home? Aaaaah..."
"Your mother is already dead!" I said coldly. "That willow tree captured her soul and turned into her appearance to bewitch you to do evil."
Feng Xiaobao slowly turned his head. His eyes looking at me were already full of the aura of death. "Yes! I was wrong... My mother died a long time ago! I killed so many people, so many children! I deserve to die a bad death. I'm unforgivable!!"
Saying that, he struggled to get up and bumped his head against the courtyard wall behind him.
"Hey!!"
Amidst the screams of Feng Qianqian and me, Feng Xiaobao had already slammed his head hard against the hard brick wall. A big hole opened on his forehead, and blood flowed all over the ground.
"Brother!!"
Feng Qianqian let out a shrill cry and rushed over, hugging her brother's body and crying bitterly. "Don't die. Don't die!"
Watching Feng Qianqian cry heart - brokenly, I also felt a kind of grief that I could empathize with.
Just as I was about to step forward to check Feng Xiaobao's injury, I heard a rustling sound of footsteps in the wheat straw field beside me.
Then, a somewhat familiar voice came over.
"What are you doing here?"
Following the voice of the inquiry, a yellowish - orange flashlight beam shone directly at us.
It turned out to be the uncle who had taken us up the mountain before. Hearing the crying and noise at home, he was afraid that something might happen to us young people from the city, so he came over with a flashlight and a shovel to check the situation.
"Uncle! Go back quickly. There's a strong yin aura here!"
I quickly waved my hand at him. Si Jiangchen once said that this kind - hearted uncle and his wife were both dying people. I didn't want them to get into any accident here.
"Isn't this the girl and boy from the Feng family?"
The uncle was kind - hearted and immediately saw Feng Qianqian and her brother Feng Xiaobao, who were covered in blood and hugging each other.
Although the Feng family members were very bad, the uncle couldn't just watch these children he had watched grow up die in front of him.
He quickly trotted over and wanted to take Feng Xiaobao from Feng Qianqian's hands.
"How did this happen? There's no hospital on the mountain. We have to go down the mountain quickly!"
The uncle took off his undershirt and covered Feng Xiaobao's head. Feng Xiaobao was moved and slowly woke up. When he opened his eyes and saw the uncle's face, he was shocked. Then he struggled to get up and knelt in front of him.
"Uncle Yang, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry to you..."
Feng Xiaobao kowtowed desperately to the uncle while saying, "Your Xiaoshanzi was killed by me... It was all my fault that he drowned. I stole his body and buried it underground here!"
After waking up, seeing the neighbor's kind - hearted rescue, Feng Xiaobao felt even more that he was unforgivable. He kowtowed desperately to Uncle Yang.
Uncle Yang was also stunned. He looked at the bleeding Feng Xiaobao in disbelief.
"No... It can't be! I buried Xiaoshanzi in our field. How could he be under this willow... Willow tree?!"
It was only then that Uncle Yang noticed that the huge willow tree was gone. There was only an increasingly large deep pit left on the ground.
