Chapter 1583: Birthday Party

Seeing the man look like this, the women finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, the third child of the Wu family has been cured of his epilepsy!"

At this time, the crowd was separated, and a woman with big muscles and round waist rushed in. The woman had a sinister face and looked very untouchable. When she approached the man who was pulled up, without saying a word, she slapped her twice loudly. "You thief, if you dare to run away after entering my Wu family's door, I will beat you to death!"

The woman was so powerful that she rolled up her sleeves and slapped the man twice. His nose started to bleed, and he almost fell to the ground again. Finally, he gave up after being persuaded by an elderly woman at the scene.

The old woman was holding a cane in one hand, and there was someone supporting her on the other side, "Don't hit him. Beating him to death is a small matter, but you can't damage the inheritance of my Blackwater Village, otherwise if the empress knows about it..."

At the mention of Empress Zhusheng, the chaotic scene instantly became quiet. Even the most angry strong woman's expression changed and she retracted the hand she had just raised.

Pausing her cane hard, the old woman stared at the strong woman who was beating her, her withered face twitched, and she said slowly in a tone that was somewhere between a threat and a warning: "Head of the Wu family, remember, this is the last time. The year before last, your eldest son became insane and wanted to run away from the village. He fell into the Blackwater River and drowned. Last year, it was your second eldest son. Fortunately, the villagers found out in time, broke his legs and sent him back to you. Well, this time it’s your third child’s turn again…”

The old woman's tone became worse and worse, and her face gradually darkened, "Do you have the ability to control the men in your family? If not, let the men out, and other women in the village will do it for you.

"Also, this is not what I mean, this is what the village chief means." The old woman sneered, "You know, what the village chief means...is what the empress meant."

Hearing this, the strong woman was so frightened that she trembled like chaff. Her knees softened and she knelt on the ground with a plop. She kept kowtowing to the old woman, "Elder Sun, I know I was wrong. I promise I will never do it again next time." , please...please speak kindly to me in front of the village chief, I, Wu Damei, am very grateful!"

The scene in front of her made Li Bai couldn't help but frown. The words "Empress Zhusheng" were like a mountain that overwhelmed the whole village. At the same time, this was also the first time she learned the name of the strong woman in front of her: Wu Damei.

According to the conversation between the two, it can be known that things like men running away are not uncommon in the village, and women in Blackwater Village are just like men in the feudal era, having three wives and four concubines is common.

More importantly, the mysterious village chief of Blackwater Village seems to have some unexplained relationship with the empress Zhusheng, who is deeply feared by the villagers.

"I've said everything that needs to be said. As for what to do next, you can take care of it yourself." The old woman raised her heavy eyelids, and after saying the last words, she turned and left with the help of people around her.

"Elder Sun is gone, don't be stunned. Come on, change the clothes of the third child of the Wu family. How will you behave on this big day?"

I don't know who shouted something, and the crowd that had been stagnant became active again. Everyone began to stretch out their hands to take off the man's clothes. At the same time, someone used a large bamboo dustpan to bring the man's new clothes and shoes.

However, these new clothes seemed to be very mysterious. They were wrapped tightly in black cloth, and there were people blocking them around. Li Bai couldn't see what was inside.

But the next second, what he saw in his peripheral vision refreshed Li Bai's understanding again. Several women held down the man's legs, and then tore off the embroidered shoes on the man's feet. The man's feet were bloody and had been severely deformed. The bones were crushed and then forced into it.

It's hard to imagine what kind of pain the man endured to be able to run so fast on such little feet.

However, in stark contrast to Li Bai's disgusted expression, was the dull smile on the man's face.

The man who had been stuffed with white powder once again returned to the standard appearance of a village man, well-behaved, obedient, silly, and, of course, indescribably weird.

An astonishing idea came to Li Bai's mind. I'm afraid all the men in the village were captured. In order to control these men, the women in the village fed the men this weird white powder.

The man who was stripped of all his clothes was taken away like an animal. The women surrounding him had beaming faces. The women were whispering to each other in celebration, but the words they said made Li Bai's hair stand on end.

"The third child of the Wu family is about to arrive, I'm really envious."

"No, it's not like the two short-lived ghosts in my family. If I had known better, I wouldn't have chosen them."

"You can't say that. Men with broad shoulders and big butts are easy to have children, but it's best to break their legs, or at least pick their tendons and hamstrings, so that they can be obedient."

The strong woman who was so frightened by Elder Sun that her face turned pale before gradually regained her confidence in the congratulations one after another, and returned the congratulations with her hands, "Thank you all for your support. I, Wu Damei, can't thank you enough. I will treat you to a drink in two days." Everyone remember to come to the New Year’s Wine!”

Li Bai suddenly realized something more serious. They had been in this Blackwater Village for a day and a night. During this time, they met many villagers, including old people, middle-aged people, and people in their early 20s. young people, but only the children have not been seen.

None.

Where did the children born in the village go?

After the crowd dispersed, the huge courtyard returned to its former tranquility. After closing the door and confirming that no one was eavesdropping, Yao, Shun, Yu and Li Bai's faces turned extremely ugly. Li Bai quickly informed Yao, Shun and Yu of the abnormality he had discovered, and the latter was secretly shocked.

This Black Water Village is just like the Black Water River surrounding the village, terrifying and dark to the bottom. No one knows how many unspeakable secrets are hidden under the black water and in the deepest mud.
