C2 (2/2)

I fearfully called out for my foster father, but my foster father seemed to have gone stupid. He stared at me as he raised the shovel high up in the air and stared blankly at Second Uncle Li's grave.

”This isn't the end.”

With that, he didn't care about the tears in my eyes. A shovel smashed into my head, and I felt my head buzz. Then my vision slowly turned black, and I lost consciousness.

What woke me up was an intense pain. When I opened my eyes, a face filled with anger appeared in front of me, causing my heart to tighten.

It was the owner of this face that kicked me hard in the stomach when I fainted, causing my sweat and tears to flow out from me the moment I woke up.

He was a very sturdy man, the villagers all called him Da Xiong, he could be considered one of the more famous villains in the village. With his good physique, he often acted tyrannically in the village.

Behind him stood many villagers, all glaring at me as if I had done something extremely wrong.

His already frightened heart became even more frightened. He subconsciously shrunk his neck and sat up without caring about the dizziness in his head.

The pain I've endured over the years, the cruel scenes I've witnessed, have made me unfriendly. My heart was filled with darkness, and I had an instinctive fear and rejection of living things.

However, Da Xiong naturally did not care about my fearful gaze. He immediately grabbed me by the collar and lifted me up as he coldly said:

”Little girl, I didn't expect you to be so bold. To think that I helped you beg for mercy when your damn dad hit you. Who knew that this despicable girl was also despicable!”

Your father stole a living person, but you stole a dead person.

As I spoke, the strength in Da Xiong's hands became even more intense. I felt my collar being tightly squeezed, and I felt a kind of suffocating feeling …

”This little girl must have an accomplice. She's even skinnier than a chick, how can she dig all the graves in the village in one night?”

”This wild girl learned from her abnormal father. She definitely won't be able to learn anything good. Maybe she started stealing from men since she was young, so this matter might be done by this little bitch and some random man.”

The surrounding men and women were discussing animatedly. Under the scorching gazes of the crowd and the dirty words they spoke, I felt the final bit of my dignity being stepped heavily on …

”For example, stealing a man to sleep with my adoptive father since young, words like 'stealing his man', and so on and so forth continued unceasingly. My tears seemed to have almost dried up as I looked at these faces apathetically …”

I've never done anything bad, so why do I have to suffer this kind of torture? Could it be … Was this the retribution of the Funerary Lady?

From the discussions of the villagers, I learnt that the graves in the village last night were all thrown aside. Those coffins that could still be considered intact were all opened, and their corpses were exposed outside.

Uncle Zhang and Yue Yang who had died a few years ago had their corpses stolen, and they had lost track of the location.

After learning about this, I was also shocked. Last night, I clearly saw my adoptive father. Could it be that all of this was done by him? Why did he do that? You don't have the money to buy wine, so you stole a tomb?

”It's not me …” Not Me... My father did it! I saw my father come to the cemetery last night! ”

I have nothing but hatred for my adoptive father now, so I don't mind ripping off his ugly face in front of the whole village.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I said that, Da Xiong suddenly slapped my face hard, and then pinched my chin, pushing my head up high.

Facing Da Xiong, I had no power to resist at all. I had suffered too much humiliation and was gradually becoming numb. My tears were still flowing, and they were no longer something I could control myself …

I didn't understand why Da Xiong hit me, but stared at him in astonishment. At this time, Da Xiong came closer to me, and said in a low voice:

”I forgot to tell you, your bastard dad hanged himself last night.
