Bigshot, Your Wife Is With Her Tarot Cards Again!

Chapter 105: The Person in the Well

Seeing that the village chief was still lying, Yun Qin activated her “Insight” ability to unfold the truth.

In the village chief’s memory, Zhou Lan was a very stubborn and beautiful woman.

At that time, Zhou Lan landed in the village to be sold. The person who sent her to the village told the village chief that although she was beautiful, she had already given birth, so she wasn’t worth a lot.

Zhou Lan took the initiative and requested to see the village chief, saying that she was educated. Compared to selling her off, she argued that her knowledge was more useful and could help the villagers.

After the village chief discovered that this woman could write beautifully, he readily agreed to her request.

Thus, this woman temporarily escaped the fate of being sold. She stayed in the village as a “helper” and was responsible for writing letters to communicate with the outside world, managing transactions, recording accounts, and so on.

Zhou Lan originally thought that her knowledge could help her escape from the Devil’s Den when the time came, but she underestimated how shameless people could be.

After Zhou Lan had been in the village for a few days, the village chief snuck into Zhou Lan’s room one night.

He felt that even though this woman stayed in the village to work, she still had to “fulfill her obligations”.

Moreover, this was a beautiful woman with a mature charm, which made him even more restless.

The village chief felt that since this woman was willing to stay and work for them, wasn’t that a form of invitation?

He was used to doing such things. It was common for them to fool around with women who were married and had given birth before selling them off.

That night, Zhou Lan, who was startled awake, looked at the village chief and ran outside in fear.

The village chief smiled proudly and said, “Scream. If you dare to scream, many people will come and rape you.”

Thus, Zhou Lan just bit her lips and nervously confronted the village chief.

When she was forced to the well in the village, Zhou Lan completely broke down. She knelt down and begged the village chief, saying that she had a five-year-old daughter and a seriously ill husband, begging him to let her go.

However, the village chief still approached her with a lewd expression and told Zhou Lan, “This is your new life now. It’s better to forget the past and embrace the new.”

Zhou Lan was completely disheartened and would rather die than be ruined by others.

So she jumped into the cold well water.

The village chief watched her struggle in the well for a long time before he left.

Later, something strange happened. The village chief would always dream of a woman looking at him with a gloomy expression. Then, she moved closer and closer to him.

He always felt that the woman in his dreams was Zhou Lan. If Zhou Lan got close to him, he would die.

Therefore, he spent a fortune and purchased a plaque that could exorcise ghosts. He wore that plaque around his chest every day. Sure enough, that woman never appeared in his dreams again.

The village chief initially thought that Zhou Lan’s soul just dissipated and that the plaque had nothing to do with it.

However, one night, when he passed by the well, he was mysteriously attracted by a sound coming from the well.

When he went over to look, a black gas suddenly shot out of the well. Then, he felt his whole body shake, and he heard a woman wailing in the well.

He looked at his intact body and realized that it was the plaque that saved him.

The village chief felt that Zhou Lan must be taking revenge on him, so he found a Taoist master and suppressed whatever in the well.

Not only did he perform the a impression ritual, he also threw a lot of big stones into the well to prevent the corpse from resurfacing.

From then on, Zhou Lan never bothered him again, and he never drank the water in the well. Only he knew this dirty secret.

Many years passed, and the village chief forgot about her until strange things started to happen again.

Zhou Lan’s corpse resurfaced in the well.

She had been dead for so many years, but how was her corpse so well preserved?

The village chief specifically went to take a look at this corpse. There were no signs of a ghost left on it, and his approach did not trigger any counterattack.

Zhou Lan’s soul must have long vanished.

There was another strange thing that followed.

It had been a long time since the village dealt with human trafficking. They relied on farming and making funeral supplies for a living.

However, a few days ago, all the livestock in the village died, including chickens and ducks raised by families.

Everyone in the village was panicking. They all said that it was retribution.

The village chief did not believe them. He felt that whatever retribution they would have suffered was already suppressed. Zhou Lan’s soul also dispersed and he already burned her corpse. How could she still come out and cause trouble?

This matter was definitely man-made.

After his investigation, he finally found out that there was a problem with the grain distributed in the village.

Zhao family village still followed the old system to this day. The villagers worked together and grain collection and distribution were controlled by the village as a whole.

This system helps the village chief control the villagers, and also makes the villagers afraid to leave and start a new family.
