Li Yu woke up after sleeping in the grass for two hours. She came out of the kitchen and walked towards the thatched house in the village with a torch.

The vegetable garden behind the manor was filled with all kinds of vegetables. They walked along the field path and arrived at the first thatched house. Li Yu pushed open the fence door and realized that there were more than ten piglets and more than ten half-grown pigs in the thatched house. A group of chickens and ducks were locked in a thatched house at the side.

Li Yu walked towards the thatched house at the back with the torch. When she got closer, she saw a row of three thatched houses. The vegetable garden in front of the door was empty. She pushed open the fence door and walked in. Dried vegetables hung under the eaves. The door to the central room was locked, and the kitchen door was ajar. Li Yu pulled out her hairpin and fiddled with it a few times before the lock opened.

She pushed open the door and walked into the central room. She walked to the door of the room on the right and saw a few pairs of dazed eyes. It turned out that there were five women sitting on the wooden bed and looking at her blankly.

Li Yu walked into the house and looked at them. She said gently, “Don’t be afraid. I’m not a bad person. I want to ask who you are and why you’re locked here.”

An older woman looked at Li Yu and said, “We’re from Liang Village. We’ve been locked up here for more than ten years.”

Didn’t that bandit called Big Stone say that everyone in Liang Village was gone? The woman from Liang Village was actually locked up here by them.

Li Yu looked at them in surprise. ‘You’re all from Liang Village. Were the old people, children, and men in the village killed by the people on the farm?”

At this moment, two more women walked out of the house on the left and two 18-year-old girls came over. The four of them looked at Li Yu in surprise. The older woman glanced at them and continued, “There are a total of more than 30 families in our village. We were originally living well. Fifteen years ago, just after midnight, a group of people rushed into the village and killed all the men, old people, and children in the village, leaving behind women in their twenties.”

Li Yu didn’t expect such a tragedy to happen less than a day away from the capital. What was the local county magistrate doing?

Looking at the woman who spoke, she saw that her eyes were empty and her expression was flat. When she spoke, she seemed to be talking about someone else. Some of the other women were expressionless, some hung their heads and didn’t say anything. Tears fell silently. All of them had sallow faces and tattered clothes.

The woman’s hollow voice rang out again. “So there were more than forty of us. There are less than twenty-six left. Some killed themselves because they couldn’t stand the humiliation. Some were tortured to death.”

“During the day, we’re chained by them like livestock. We weave, feed, and work in the fields. At night, they lock us in the house and take turns ruining us.”

Li Yu turned around and saw two young girls squatting on the ground and crying sadly and desperately.

The cries were heartbreaking. Li Yu’s eyes turned red. A group of animals. Why didn’t anyone discover this heinous thing after so many years?

“What about your relatives and family? Has no one visited you in all these years, looking for you?”

The woman shook her head and continued, “In the beginning, we also fled. We wanted to report to the officials and find our relatives to help. Before the people who escaped could escape to the village entrance, they were discovered and captured. They tortured them to death.”

The woman gritted her teeth and roared, “Those thieves still wanted us to watch them die slowly. Later, everyone stopped escaping. Those who couldn’t take it sought death. Those who were alive only wanted to live to take revenge.”

“As time passed, some of those thieves let slip that the people outside only Imew that there was a plague in Liang Village and didn’t understand what was going on. ”

The woman looked at Li Yu and actually smiled. “It’s a plague! Who knows how many people will die if they get infected? Who dares to come and take a look?! All these years, no one has come to visit us, be it our parents or relatives. Ever since a group of the evil thieves left before the new year, we’ve been living a little easier.”

Under the woman’s narration, everyone recalled that on New Year’s Eve, those who were working outside had all returned home early. Everyone was happily at home preparing for the New Year.

On the thirtieth day of the new year, the children all had a beautiful meal. They hugged their newly made clothes and waited for the new year. Before they fell asleep, they planned to wear their new clothes the next morning to visit their relatives. They were still discussing who had prepared more stir-fried goods when they fell asleep.

When it was midnight, the elderly also slept separately. It was rare for them to not have to think about getting up early to work tomorrow morning. The men sat at the table and drank and bragged. It was rare for them to be drunk. They collapsed on the bed and slept soundly.

No one would have thought that in the middle of the night, a group of evil thieves in black with long knives would break into the village and raise their butcher knives to kill the young men, old people, and children, leaving only more than 40 young women.

On New Year’s Eve, who would have thought that such a disaster would descend from the sky? Xiang Le’s village had become a slaughterhouse for those thieves, and their home had become a graveyard for their families to be buried. Women were bullied and raped in their homes.

Thinking of their relatives and villagers who had died tragically, and the humiliation they had suffered all these years, the women covered their faces and cried.

The women cried and kowtowed to Li Yu. “Madam, leave quickly!

Li Yu took a step forward and helped them up. “Don’t worry, no one will torture you in the future. I’ve already killed all the remaining thieves and left two behind to be brought back to the government office for interrogation.”

“What did you say?” the woman said with a trembling voice.

The women in the house looked at Li Yu in surprise. They couldn’t imagine that a beautiful woman actually dared to kill someone and even killed more than ten fierce men.

Seeing that they were all stunned, Li Yu looked at them and said, “I’m a First-grade Madam bestowed by His Majesty. I was also abducted here by them. If you don’t believe me, you can follow me to the manor to take a look.

The corpses of those people are still in the manor.”

The woman who had spoken just now looked at Li Yu excitedly. “Are you really a First-grade Madam?”

Li Yu raised her hand solemnly and swore, “If I’m lying, I’ll be struck by lightning! ”

The woman immediately became lively. She hugged the woman beside her and cried, “Sister, there’s hope for us to take revenge. Heavens! You’ve finally opened your eyes and seen the grievances of hundreds of people in our Liang Village. ”

The other women also hugged their heads and cried. Some kowtowed to Li Yu to thank her.

Li Yu helped them up and looked at them gently. “My surname is Li and my name is Yu. What are your names?”

The woman who had just spoken said to Li Yu, “Madam, my name is Ah Lian.”

She pointed at the long-faced woman beside her. “Her name is Hong Mei. She’s my sister-in-law..”
