The surrounding was silent, as if nothing had happened. Li Qinshuang finally came to her senses from the panic. After opening the car door, she slumped to the ground feebly.
Yu Nian stared at Li Qinshuang from a commanding position for a moment, then said to the dull - looking Old Yang, "You heard what she said just now, right?"
Old Yang's face turned green. He trembled as he raised his finger and pointed at Li Qinshuang's nose, scolding, "Vicious woman! What kind of hatred and resentment made you harm us like this?!"
Li Qinshuang knew she was in the wrong and was too embarrassed to say anything.
It turned out that after the Yang family rejected the suggestion of Young Yang becoming a son - in - law to the Tang family, Tang Ruo had always held a grudge against the Yang family. In particular, she detested Young Yang's hot - tempered second uncle extremely.
Tang Ruo looked down on this small mountain village and was unwilling to associate with such poor in - laws.
Her family was rich enough to purchase things like wedding cars and houses. As long as Young Yang was willing, they could live a life of plenty.
However, the Yang family's words of rejection made the relationship between Young Yang and Tang Ruo fall into a deadlock.
In desperation, she could only ask her mother, Li Qinshuang, for help.
Li Qinshuang was a merchant. She traveled all over the place on a daily basis and knew many people with special skills.
She asked someone to introduce her to a powerful wizard. She spent a large amount of money asking him to place a curse on Young Yang, making him be infatuated with Tang Ruo and love only her for the rest of his life.
However, Tang Ruo was still not happy. She wanted to punish the Yang family who did not know how to appreciate her good intentions. So, she increased the amount of money and placed a curse on Young Yang's entire family.
The more Old Yang looked at Li Qinshuang, the angrier he became. He wanted to strike out and beat Li Qinshuang, but was stopped by Yu Nian.
"Even if you kill her now, it will not help. Second Uncle Yang cannot come back to life. Moreover, as long as the curse is not lifted, the influence on you will be greater."
Old Yang had seen Yu Nian's might. He was extremely impressed with Yu Nian at this moment and immediately agreed.
However, he was still somewhat unwilling, "What about this mother - daughter pair? Just let them go like this?"
Yu Nian's cold gaze swept past the two of them as she whispered a sentence, "Bring them back together."
Li Qinshuang immediately stiffened.
She recalled what the wizard had said. If the curse was broken, she herself might be affected by the backlash. Naturally, she was not willing to return with everyone.
So, she sat on the ground and cried, "You are restricting my personal freedom! I will sue you!"
Just as she finished speaking, her mouth closed involuntarily. It was as if there was super glue on it. No matter how hard she tried, she could not open it. She continuously let out "wuwu" sounds from her throat.
Just like that, she was brought back to Old Yang's house by everyone.
On the way, Ming Mingzhong followed Yu Nian's side. Finally, he asked the doubt in his heart, "Boss, I have never heard of the statement that there is a connection between the person who places the curse and the person who is cursed."
Yu Nian laughed harmlessly, "The statements just now were all fabricated by me. For a crafty person like Li Qinshuang, if I did not use any means to deceive her, she would not have told the truth."
Li Qinshuang, who was beside her, turned green in anger after hearing that. However, she could not make a sound at this moment and did not dare to act like a hooligan with Yu Nian. After all, she recalled the scene of Second Uncle Yang asking for her life just now. She was so afraid that she trembled all over. She could only swallow her anger like a dumb person.
After a short while, everyone arrived at the Yang family's small courtyard. As soon as they entered the door, they smelled a bloody stench. Ming Mingzhong was always sensitive to the smell of blood. He could not hold it in and vomited. However, Old Yang's family always had a normal expression on their faces, as if they did not smell it at all.
Yu Nian calculated and walked straight towards the southwest corner of the courtyard.
There were a few osmanthus trees planted there. The roots of the trees emitted a faint black aura.
Yu Nian walked forward and suddenly slapped a talisman on the ground. Only a loud "boom" sound was heard. The soil under the tree flew everywhere. An object wrapped tightly in a red cloth appeared in front of everyone.
Old Yang and the others were all stunned. Their faces immediately turned ugly.
After Yu Nian opened the red cloth, she saw a black jade box lying quietly inside. The box was engraved with a dense number of totems, making people feel uncomfortable at first sight.
Yu Nian opened the box. There was a row of cloth dolls neatly placed inside.
Each doll had a section of real human hair on its head. Their expressions, clothing, and height were all different.
Old Yang stared at the dolls for a long time. He only felt that they were becoming more and more familiar.
The first one was tattered and soaked in grease. It was Second Uncle Yang who had drowned. The second one had a hemp rope around its neck. It was Old Yang's wife. The third one had broken limbs and a head that was on the verge of falling off... It was Old Yang himself!!
Apart from that, there were the fourth and fifth ones... Each puppet represented a Yang family member, and the death appearance of each person was different!!
Old Yang immediately felt his legs go weak. The cold air spread along his spine.
At this moment, everyone's gazes were focused on Li Qinshuang. Their gazes were filled with hatred, fear, and disbelief...
Old Yang let out a loud cry. He suddenly rushed in front of Li Qinshuang and gave her a slap, knocking her to the ground. If it were not for the people around him holding him back, Old Yang would have wished to swallow her alive!
Li Qinshuang covered her face and cried non - stop. She waved her hands in a flurry and explained, "It was not done by me! All of this was the wizard's idea. It has nothing to do with me!"
There was no trace of temperature in Yu Nian's eyes as she looked at Li Qinshuang, "Really? That wizard has never even seen the Yang family, but he can know the names and appearances of everyone in the Yang family?"
Li Qinshuang's shoulders shook. She could not say a word.
"Neither you nor your daughter is a good person. I will definitely not let Young Yang marry your daughter!" After saying that, Old Yang turned around and looked at Yu Nian. He actually knelt on the ground with a "plop", "Master, please save us. Although we are not great good people, we have always lived in a proper manner. We have never done anything bad! This is simply a disaster without any cause!"
Yu Nian immediately helped Old Yang up and comforted him, "I will naturally lift this curse. However, the curse is different from other witchcraft. The wizard usually drives the evil spirits to cause trouble. It can only be broken at a specific time. It is still early. At the earliest, it will have to wait until midnight."
Yu Nian closed the box again and pasted a talisman on the box. She placed it in the Yang family's ancestral shrine to guard it.
The Yang family was worried that Li Qinshuang and Tang Ruo would run away. So, they tied the two of them together with a hemp rope and locked them in the side room. They were going to escort the two of them to the police station when the curse was broken. They were going to seek justice for Second Uncle Yang who had died no matter what!
After everything was settled, everyone returned to their rooms. However, they did not expect that before midnight, Li Qinshuang and Tang Ruo had disappeared!
The small box in the shrine had also disappeared together with them.
There were only two sections of neatly cut hemp ropes left in the side room. It was obvious that they had been cut by a sharp weapon.
Everyone was at a loss for a moment. They stared at each other blankly.
Yu Nian looked around the room. She saw a footprint of an adult man remaining on the window sill.
She asked Old Yang thoughtfully, "Apart from you, who else can open the shrine?"
Old Yang was stunned, "Master is worried that there is a thief in the family? Impossible. Apart from me in the Yang family, only Yang Qi has the key. He..."
Just as he said that, Old Yang suddenly stopped speaking. He was somewhat unbelievable.
Yang Qi was now obedient to Tang Ruo. It was not impossible for him to sneak back home and let the two of them go!
Seeing that Old Yang's expression was not good, Yu Nian was already certain in her heart. She stepped out of the room and said lightly, "There are only fifteen minutes left until midnight. The evil spirits are about to appear. If we do not find them in time, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Seeing that Yang Qi was in danger, the Yang family immediately took out their flashlights and chased after them. They began to search door - to - door.
Yu Nian sat in Feng Chengyuan's car and drove out of the mountain village.
