Infinite flow: I have a trick! I have a trick for fighting ghosts

Chapter 121: The Dead Flower Town 61 [Wedding Ceremony]

The moment the prompt sounded, everyone knew clearly that they had completed a task.

However, before the joyful mood could spread, it was broken by Li Mingjie's sigh.

"Damn, it took so long to complete a task. How long will it take to complete the task?" Li Mingjie said helplessly.

At this moment, there was a loud "bang" and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground made everyone's heart jump.

"Something weird happened again!" Everyone's nerves were instantly tense.

Nanyu reacted quickly. He immediately handed the peach wood hairpin and the letter to Shangguan Qingye, then turned around and walked out with Wusheng.

When he came out of the bloody bridal chamber, he finally saw what was happening outside with the help of the red light in the room.

At some point downstairs, under the wooden board in the middle of the corridor on the second floor, there were people wearing white clothes hanging.

Judging from his appearance, he should be the servant who hanged himself overnight as mentioned in the system's introduction to the dungeon at the beginning.

With a "click", all the red lights on the fourth floor lit up.

The blood-red light illuminated the entire hall of Qiao's house, as if it were stained with blood.

As the red light on the fourth floor came on, a group of people appeared downstairs.

Those people downstairs cannot be said to be people, but more like a projection.

Their portraits are somewhat blurry, giving people an extremely ethereal feeling.

Everyone stood in front of the fence on the third floor, looking down at the group's actions.

There were about seven or eight people standing downstairs, among whom Zhu Sisi was particularly conspicuous.

Her arms were held down tightly by two strong men, making her unable to move.

There was also an elderly woman in the crowd who was dressed elegantly and was a little plump. Judging from her attire and demeanor, she must be the old lady of the Qiao family.

Next to the old lady of the Qiao family stood a white-haired man who looked intimidating without even getting angry. Without a doubt, that was the master of the Qiao family.

The remaining people were dressed in ordinary clothes, both men and women, and they all held sticks in their hands.

The faces of those holding sticks were about 70% similar to Zhu Sisi's.

"Could those people holding sticks be Zhu Sisi's relatives? What do they want to do with the sticks?"

Li Mingjie frowned and said softly.

He has the ability of X-ray vision, so he can see more clearly than everyone upstairs.

From his perspective, he could clearly feel that Zhu Sisi and the men and women holding sticks had a blood similarity, which made him full of doubts.

Why on earth are they here?

"Do you think those people with sticks are here to demand justice from Zhu Sisi?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but start thinking about this possibility.

"No, I don't think so. Do you still remember the 'paixing' ceremony and the 'loyalty punishment'?" Zhang Jiaqiao said.

Everyone's thoughts were drawn back to the strange rituals they had learned about before.

"Whose family members wouldn't be angry when they come to ask for an explanation for their child? It feels like they are here to take your life." Wen Zishang continued.

Everyone's attention was once again focused on the group of people holding sticks downstairs.

Fortunately, everyone didn't have to wait long before the people downstairs started talking.

When the people downstairs started talking or making gestures, Nanyu felt as if he was watching a projected TV series from his previous life.

Zhu Sisi downstairs was still wearing the red Qing Dynasty women's clothing. She was still as breathtakingly beautiful as described in Qiao Yang's diary.

But now she was being held down by two strong men and couldn't move. She looked at the men and women holding sticks with pleading eyes.

"Brothers and sisters, you are all my relatives. We grew up together. Why are you so blinded by money that you want to kill me?" Zhu Sisi said with grief and tears.

The elegantly dressed old woman standing next to her glared at Zhu Sisi fiercely, then said in a sarcastic tone:

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to talk nonsense. You've been married to our Yang'er for over a year and still can't have a child. You spent a lot of money to hire a master to see you, and after drinking that prescription, you thought you would give birth to a big fat boy, but who knew you would give birth to a bastard like you."

"Since you can't give birth to a child, you are of no use to our Qiao family."

Then she spat at Zhu Sisi fiercely again, and looked at the man and woman in front of her with sticks with her somewhat cloudy but sharp eyes.

"Hmph, you, why don't you just try the feeling of 'Paxi' for yourself? Just think of it as a way to repay us for the good food and drinks we've taken care of you for the past nine months. I've given you all the money, so just beat me up."

The old woman's words were full of coldness and ruthlessness, which made people shudder.

"Father! I didn't do anything wrong, did I? Why are you treating me like this?"

With tears streaming down her cheeks, Zhu Sisi cast a look full of resentment and confusion at the master of the Qiao family who was standing next to the woman with an imposing manner.

The master of the Qiao family just sighed helplessly and shook his head, with a hint of guilt and helplessness in his eyes.

He seemed to want to say something but didn't know where to start. Finally, he waved his hand as if to escape and turned to walk towards the backyard.

Seeing this, Zhu Sisi gave a desperate smile, which was full of sadness and helplessness.

Then, the sound of heavy objects hitting each other reached everyone's ears. The sound was dull and cruel, and each hit seemed to hit everyone's heart.

The sound was mixed with Zhu Sisi's painful sobs, which were weak and miserable, making people unbearable to hear.

"This... is this what they call 'shooting happiness'?" Li Mingjie said in a daze, his voice filled with shock and complexity.

It turns out that the so-called "beating the bride" means having the bride's family beat her for an hour.

Looking at the posture of Zhu Sisi's family members downstairs, who were raising and lowering sticks, hitting each stick on the flesh, it didn't look like they wanted to leave Zhu Sisi with a breath. Instead, it seemed like they wanted to beat Zhu Sisi to death completely within this hour.

There was no trace of pity on their faces, only indifference and cruelty, as if Zhu Sisi was not their relative but an enemy.

"Oh my god, luckily my sister didn't travel back to the ancient times, otherwise I would be heartbroken to death."

Although Li Mingjie's voice was full of relief, his eyes were still filled with regret and pity when he looked at Zhu Sisi.

He felt a pang of pain in his heart when he imagined his sister suffering such a tragic fate.

"Tsk, that's too tragic." Wen Zishang couldn't bear to watch and turned his head away.

After the incense stick downstairs ended, the group still showed no sign of stopping. At this time, Zhu Sisi was lying on the ground, a bloody mess, dying.

Her body was almost unrecognizable, and her blood dyed the ground red, which was shocking to see.

Just when everyone thought that Zhu Sisi was really going to be beaten to death by her family, a man suddenly walked out of the gate of Qiao's house.

After a closer look, I found out that he was Qiao Yang!

When Qiao Yang rushed back to the Qiao residence exhausted, he saw the tragic scene of his wife being pinned to the ground and almost beaten to death.

He rushed forward angrily and kicked away the man who was beating Zhu Sisi madly.

"Who did this? Who told you to hit my wife?! Don't you want to live anymore?"

Qiao Yang's roar echoed in the air.
