Fortunate Wife

The village chief grumpily looked at the several women present "All of you, leave at once! This matter regards the Li household and should be handled by them." He then turned his head to ask the brawny man behind him "Wu San, what about Li Moren? You were ordered to go call him, how come half a day later I don't see even the trace of his shadow?"

Wu San smiled cheekily while his eyes lewdly stared at Li Man "A few of the Li brothers went to the mountains to look for this woman, they left the youngest alone at home, so I left a message with him. They'll come over as soon as they return."

The village chief frowned and looked at the sky. It was getting dark. He once again turned his face to look at Li Man. His face was filled with contempt.

From the women's attitude just now, Li Man estimated that this old man must be the village chief. She hurriedly shouted "Uncle, please let me go! Let's talk a little, OK!? I don't know how I have offended you, but as long as you let me go, we can discuss it properly, I can give you money as compensation...."

"What is she mumbling?", The village chief turned his head in disgust and asked Wu San.

Wu San also couldn't understand it and only shook his head "Who knows what this woman is saying? Don't listen to her."

Li Man was desperate. No one would listen to her. Even the old man who called the shots was the same. What should she do? What were they going to do? Set her on fire?

The evening mountain breeze was particularly cold. Li Man shuddered while desperately trying to think of something to say.

The village chief, seated under the tree, saw that the Li family was taking too long to show up. The crowd's lingering whispers to hang Li Man were getting louder and louder. After having two smokes, he got up and said: "Wu San, according to what the others said, hang this woman and, when night falls, bury her in the mountains." He looked at her with evilness flashing in his eyes.

"Yes." Wu San was looking forward to this. At once, he took out the hemp rope on his waist and walked towards Li Man.

When Wu San went to drag her over, to everyone's surprise, she tried to not appear afraid and added some words that people couldn't make any sense of.

"What are you going to do?" All of Li Man's hair stood on end. This man looked wretched and vicious, totally not a good person!

Wu San didn't understand her words, but he understood the look on her face. He only thought of how this young beauty seemed even more alluring when scared. It's a pity to just hang her like this but... Using some martial arts, he could press some acupoints to fake her death and then, taking advantage of when no one's around, he could bring her back to life again. This little lady might just become his!
