Chapter 938: The Remote Li Village

Translator: Henyee TranslationsEditor: Henyee Translations

‘When Wei Xiao brought people to check the populace, what they found made them jump in fright.

Most of the people were scattered throughout a few remote mountain villages.

One of the most remote villages had the most missing people over so many years, and this wasn’t counting the first few who had been the first to go missing.

‘Wei Xiao, on the other hand, was so scared by the number that his heart pounded and the vein on his forehead throbbed. Veins also bulged on the back of his hands as he strongly restrained himself and maintained a calm face.

Wei Xiao prepared to go to Zhaoshan Village. The village chief’s surname was Li. Most of the villagers here were surnamed Li, so this village was also called Li Village.

‘When they found the village chief, the villagers were holding a ritual by the river.

‘They were using a girl as a living sacrifice. Wei Xiao and the others caught them red-handed and immediately stopped them.

The village had become used to offering sacrifices over the years, but when they saw the soldiers in military uniform, everyone in the village, regardless of gender or age, was naturally intimidated, and they all looked terrified.

‘Wei Xiao immediately had his subordinates release the person who had been tied up to be the sacrifice.

Village Chief Li appeared at that moment. “No, no, you can’t!”

Li Village might be remote, but Village Chief Li was naturally in awe of the soldiers.

Wei Xiao was furious at the village’s superstitious use of the girl as a living human sacrifice. The girl trembled with fear. What made Wei Xiao most furious and incredulous was that when he called the girl’s parents over, the father didn’t feel the slightest bit sorry about his daughter being used as a

sacrifice at all, and even hated Wei Xiao for stopping them. On the other hand, the girl’s mother’s eyes were red and swollen. She had probably cried a lot when she saw her daughter about to be thrown into the river as a sacrifice.

At that moment, her daughter was saved by the soldiers. The mother and daughter hugged and cried hard.

Wei Xiao said to Village Chief Li, “In the future, this kind of backward feudal superstition must be abolished!”

As soon as Wei Xiao said that, Village Chief Li objected. “You can’t! You can’t! Sir, you’re forcing all the people in our village to die!”

As soon as Village Chief Li said that, the other villagers protested one after another. It was said that inhospitable environments bred unruly people, and a few villagers tried to warn Wei Xiao and the others off by directly attacking them.

Wei Xiao’s group of soldiers had been through fire and water; how could they be afraid of these villagers? They directly pulled out their guns and fired warning shots into the sky. The faces of the rowdy offenders immediately turned pale with fear.

Wei Xiao had come to the village for proper business, and said, “Village Chief Li, we didn’t come to your village to deliberately cause trouble. We just have something to ask you!”

Since the armed forces had come, Village Chief Li could only stop the ritual and take Wei Xiao to his house.

Zhaosan Village was very remote and poor. It could be seen that everyone’s lives weren’t good. Even the old village chief’s house was made with packed earth, and it was very shabby on the outside.

Wei Xiao found it very hard to imagine that such a remote and backward village could still exist now. His expression was very complicated. Looking at the old village chief, who looked like he was in his seventies or eighties, he realized that the people in this village weren’t that old on the whole, but most

of them looked like it. It could be seen that life really wasn’t good!

“Sir, what business do you have in our Li Village?” The old village chief was still a bit nervous. He subconsciously rubbed his pipe before immediately putting it down.

“Tm in no hurry. Why don’t you tell me first why your village uses people as living sacrifices? This is against the laws of our country and is punishable with execution by a firing squad!” Wei Xiao said coldly..
