Chapter 329: Chapter 330: Cries of a Woman on the Mountain, Like the Wailing of a Ghost
In this world, only Gu Lanzi knew where the tomb was.
So, during the Lantern Festival, they followed Gu Lanzi up the mountain, insulted her, and forced her to reveal the location of the tomb.
At that ti, Gu Lanzi claid she did not know where the tomb was, but they didn’t believe her, thinking she wanted to hoard the treasure for herself, so they tornted her even more brutally.
Eventually, unable to endure the humiliation, Gu Lanzi bit her tongue and killed herself.
Thinking she was dead, they buried her next to Ah Niu’s grave and told the townspeople that while paying respects to the Princess of marriage on the mountain, they discovered Gu Lanzi had died by smashing into Ah Niu’s tombstone, so they buried her simply.
The townspeople believed them because they were all reputable figures; no one doubted them.
After Gu Lanzi died, they didn’t feel afraid but grew greedier, eagerly seeking the treasure and the Bead.
Thus, they frequently went up Princess Mountain, hoping to find the princess’s tomb.
However, before long, they heard from Old Man Qiao that there seed to be a woman’s crying on the mountain every day, like the wails of a ghost.
They didn’t believe it until one ti when they went up and indeed heard a woman crying.
They recognized it then—it was Gu Lanzi’s voice.
Following that, incidents of n being drained of their essence occurred in town, and from then onwards, the five of them dared not go up the mountain anymore.
They feared that Gu Lanzi’s ghost would co seeking their lives.
During the Lantern Festival not long after, Liu Fu, the rice shop owner, died horrifically at ho, and everyone believed it was the doing of the female ghost from the mountain, making the remaining four even more afraid to go up.
Even the townspeople dared not venture up the mountain any longer.
Then, the next Lantern Festival, another one died.
After that ca the third, then the fourth…
Now, it was finally his turn…
Indeed, the saying was true.
There is a head for every wrongdoing, a master for every debt; it’s not that there won’t be retribution, just that the ti hasn’t co yet…
In the midst of these incessant mories, Zheng Youcai’s expression grew increasingly distorted, and his mouth kept spewing out a lot of fresh blood.
Finally, his pupils suddenly constricted intensely, and he breathed his last…
Gu Lanzi was still laughing or crying madly, seeing Zheng Youcai dead, she beca even more deranged.
