Chapter 223 Life is a Play (19)

Wen Chan looked at Wu Mei beating someone and sighed, “Stop it.”

Wu Mei glared at her with red eyes, “Why? You still…”

Before he finished speaking, Wen Chan added: “It’s better to just throw it into the furnace and burn it.”

“…”

Wu Mei was stunned at first, then she laughed crazily, “Haha…hahahahaha…good, good, good! Burn it! Even if my sister is not dead, she has been tortured by your incense and is no longer a human. The other children who were turned into incense by you are waiting for you in hell!”

She stood up and pulled the mayor with difficulty, trying to drag him towards the furnace.

The mayor’s head was broken and bleeding, and he felt weak all over.

It was as if he had smelled too much incense and his mind was not clear. He shouted incoherently, “For the sake of the person you love, you can beat me like this and even kill me. Can’t I kill a few people for the person I love? Why can you do it but I can’t? Hahaha… I want to be with her. It is said that it is better to destroy a temple than to destroy a relationship. If you stop me from being with her, you will be punished!”

“What person do you love? Who do you love?” Wu Mei kicked him.

I don’t know where I got the strength from, but I actually dragged the mayor up and pushed him to the edge of the furnace.

The residual heat from the furnace burned the mayor so much that he cried out, and it also sobered him up a lot, “Let go! You crazy woman!”

“If it weren’t for my love, who would be willing to marry that ugly girl from your family? Isn’t it good enough that I made her beautiful, dignified, and considerate? I’m doing this for her own good. You guys don’t understand anything at all!”

Wen Chan sighed, “You keep talking about your lover every day, but you don’t even know her name.”

The mayor was stunned, and said with his neck stiff, “How could I not know? Her name is… her name is…”

After shouting for a long time, I still couldn’t figure out what was going on.

After thinking about it seriously for a while, I vaguely remembered where I had seen her name.

After a moment, he shouted, “Who said I don’t know? Her name is Liu Manhe! That’s my lover!”

“Go to hell! I told you to go and accompany her now!”

Wu Mei couldn’t bear it any longer, so she pushed the mayor into the furnace and was almost dragged in by him.

But she was not afraid, instead she was laughing.

Fortunately, Qin Ji pulled her and prevented her from falling in.

After Wu Mei was safe, she immediately started looking for firewood.

The previous sandalwood had been burned, and she turned her attention to the toolbench, which was also made of sandalwood.

She dismantled the table in a few moves and threw the wooden boards under the furnace.

When she saw the mayor, whose body was scalded and bloody, trying to crawl out, she smashed him down with a wooden board.

There were still a lot of sparks under the furnace, and they would start burning again with just a few flicks.

Wu Mei closed the lid of the furnace again and let the mayor scream inside until things calmed down.

The other three people looked at this scene and felt nothing.

Wen Chan silently added, “He likes making incense so much, is Aunt Wu interested in making him into incense too?”

Wu Mei nodded, “Of course! You really know how to come up with good ideas!”

Qin Ji frowned slightly and looked at Wen Chan in confusion.

Wen Chan was surprised. “What’s that look in Boss Qin’s eyes? You don’t feel bad, do you?”

Qin Ji rolled his eyes at her and said, “I just feel a little disgusted.”

Wen Chan shrugged, “What’s disgusting? You won’t be disgusted if you change it into points.”

Qin Ji: “? Can this be exchanged?”

Wen Chan smiled, “Why not?”

She didn’t say anything else. Qin Ji endured the discomfort, leaned against the wall, and waited quietly.

Zhong Lian rested her chin on Wen Chan’s shoulder, leaned against her, and looked in the direction of the furnace, not knowing what she was thinking.

Wen Chan seemed to sense that he was in a bad mood, so she took his hand and squeezed it gently.

Zhong Lian nuzzled her neck and asked softly, “Chan Chan… do you also think it’s disgusting for a person to become like this?”

Wen Chan replied seriously: “It depends on who it is. If it’s you, then no.”

Qin Ji pulled the corner of his mouth, “Aren’t you cursing him to be cremated?”

Zhong Lian smiled secretly, “Chan Chan, you are so nice to me.”

Qin Ji: “…”

I’m cursing you but I’m still nice to you, you must be crazy!
But these two people are indeed mentally abnormal.

Qin Ji felt that he had said too much.

Wu Mei next to her didn’t care what these people were saying.

I don’t know how long it took, but corpse oil flowed out from the outlet on one side of the furnace and into the small bucket below the outlet.

By the end, there was about a small bowl of liquid.

Then another exit, and a pile of white ashes slid out.

Wu Mei didn’t mind the heat, so she mixed the two things together and kneaded them like dough. Then she picked up the semi-finished incense sticks in the box next to her, scraped off the residual incense on them, pasted the mayor’s ashes on them, and molded them into the shape of incense.

After finishing, she held it in her hand and smiled foolishly.

Wen Chan wasn’t quite sure how deep the relationship between Wu Mei and Wu Gui was. However, since Wu Mei could do this, she still had great respect for the sisterhood between them.

But she had no shame in taking advantage of others’ work, and she even said to Wu Mei, “Can you give me this incense? Zhong Lian and I almost died in his hands today. We were scared and may not be able to sleep recently. I need to light his incense to comfort myself.”

Wu Mei: “…”

She looked back at Wen Chan, vaguely feeling that she had been tricked by her into doing these things, but she had no evidence.

Plus, these are things she really wants to do.

She hesitated for a while, but still stood up and walked towards Wen Chan, handing the incense to Wen Chan.

Wen Chan took it and said, “Thank you.”

Wu Mei was much more sober now. She wiped her dirty hands on her body and said expressionlessly, “I’m going to go back and take my sister home now. It doesn’t matter if you want to call the police later, but I have to take my sister home first.”

She did kill someone after all, and these people are witnesses.

They didn’t do anything.

Wen Chan smiled and said, “Nothing happened today. We don’t know anything.”

Wu Mei looked at Wen Chan deeply, not knowing whether she believed what she said.

She said nothing and walked away. When she walked out of the cave, she saw the little girl outside. She hesitated for a while and said, “Can I take her back? Her parents don’t want to raise her, so I will.”

Wen Chan refused, “That may not work. The mayor is dead, and no one will give them money anymore. If she goes back and her parents don’t get the money, they will definitely think that you are the reason why they took the child back. Then they will come to you to make trouble, which will be very troublesome.”

Wu Mei was silent.

Just when Wen Chan thought she would give up, she said again, “I will take her and my sister away from Cangyang Town overnight, is that okay?”

She never wanted to come back to this disgusting place.

Wen Chan nodded, “That’s fine.”

Wu Mei didn’t say anything else, picked up the little girl and left. Wen Chan originally planned to let the little girl go with Zhong Lian’s troupe.

Since Wu Mei brought it up herself, it would be better to follow Wu Mei than to follow a group of rough men.

After all, those men were able to survive in Zhong Lian’s hands until now only because of their good luck. It is too dangerous to let them take care of the little girl.

As soon as Wu Mei left, Wen Chan shook the town incense in her hand towards Qin Ji.

“Let’s go, Boss Qin. I’ll take you to do a hidden mission.”

Qin Ji was puzzled: “Did you receive it?”

Wen Chan told the truth, “I haven’t received it, but according to the previous copy routines, this must be a hidden task.”

“Let’s go meet this Aunt Liu, Liu Manhe.”

Judging from what the mayor said, he was not just wishful thinking, and there was definitely someone else’s instigation behind this.

Or rather, another ghost.

…

When I returned to the Liu family compound, the yard was exceptionally quiet.

Yang Qiao in the East Courtyard has come to his senses, but he still can’t accept what happened between him and Pang Li.

Pang Li made some sarcastic remarks to him and felt uncomfortable.

Although she said at the time that she wanted to be like Wen Chan and only do dungeon stuff, and no one would know each other after leaving the dungeon.

But when the other party really didn’t want to take responsibility, she felt like she was being taken advantage of.

very angry.

Yang Qiao was not sober at the time, had a vague memory of the incident, and did not want to admit it at all.

The two are in a cold war at the moment.

As for the people from the West Courtyard Opera Troupe, after completing the tasks given by Wen Chan, they came back and fell asleep immediately.

The incense in the north courtyard had long since burned out, and Wu Mei had already taken Wu Gui away.

There was no one in the entire North Courtyard; even the Buddhist temple looked cold and desolate.

At this time, the sky was already turning white and it was almost dawn.

Wen Chan stood in the Buddhist temple, inserted the town incense into the incense burner and lit it.

A smell of barbecue wafted out, completely different from the previous aromas.

Qin Ji stood at the door, arms folded across his chest, “Will it work? Didn’t he say that if you inhale this kind of fragrance, you will imagine the people around you as Liu Manhe? Who will become her in a while?”

“Can’t she just come out on her own?” Wen Chan chuckled. “If she doesn’t come out after smelling the scent of her ‘beloved’, it means she doesn’t love him/her that much.”

“If the scent of your beloved doesn’t work, then the scent of your only slave will definitely work.”

As Wen Chan finished speaking, an evil wind suddenly blew in the Buddhist hall.

The beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam and flower-pot shoes that Wen Chan had seen before floated out from the golden Buddha statue.

She held a handkerchief in her hand and raised her little finger, which was covered with a glittering golden armor.

She only had an extra set of armor, but her whole aura seemed to have changed.

She floated to the altar, stared at the incense in the incense burner, and didn’t speak for a long time.

The others didn’t say anything and just looked at her quietly.

About five minutes later, Liu Manhe turned her head towards Wen Chan and asked softly, “Did you kill him?”

Wen Chan didn’t deny it, “Are you heartbroken?”

Liu Manhe said slowly: “This is the most loyal and capable person to me over the years. Do you think I feel bad for him?”

Wen Chan raised her eyebrows, “So you admit that he did all this because of you?”

“Ha…” Liu Manhe covered her mouth with the hand holding the handkerchief and chuckled, “When I saw you for the first time, I felt that you were not an ordinary girl. I thought my acting skills were good enough, but I didn’t expect that you still discovered it.”

“Alas, we clearly act very affectionate, but why do you still think I’m using him? It must be that he doesn’t love me enough…”

“Love is something that can’t just be expressed with words,” Wen Chan said.

Liu Manhe snorted, “How can we say it every day? We are just calling each other lovers. Don’t you and your boyfriend also say boyfriend and girlfriend every day? Why is it that when we say lovers it’s fake, but when you say boyfriend and girlfriend it’s not fake?”

Zhong Lian immediately hugged Wen Chan, “Because Chan Chan and I are true love.”

As soon as he spoke, Liu Manhe’s eyes fell on him, “I didn’t take a good look at you yesterday, and you ran away. Now I take a closer look, I think I’ve seen you somewhere before.”

Zhong Lian immediately turned her head and leaned it on Wen Chan’s shoulder, leaving the back of her head to Liu Manhe.

The small braid on the back of her head was still shaking slightly, showing her stubbornness.

Seeing his reaction, Liu Manhe sighed enviously, “That’s great! I wish I could meet a boyfriend who sticks to me like this.”

“Shi Zong is a bit useful, but not very useful. After so many years, he still hasn’t developed Cangyang Town.”

“I’ve told him many times that I only like to smell baby bone scent. That stuff can keep me young forever. It won’t work if I’m even a little older. If I smell it too much, I’ll get older too.”

She raised her hand and looked at her delicate fingers, then continued:
“He told me that there haven’t been any babies born in the town for a long time, and that whenever a baby was born, he would go to the families and ask them to throw the baby away for money. He said it so many times that all the babies that could be thrown away were thrown away, and those who didn’t want to be thrown away had already moved out of Cangyang Town. He is already trying to make the legend of Wawa Mountain known to people outside Cangyang Town, and asked me to wait a little longer. Now, after waiting for so long, he can’t even make incense for two children, and he has waited himself into prison.”

“What is your reason for doing this?”

Qin Ji was too lazy to listen to their stories and went straight to the point.

This kind of hidden mission is most likely to find out the purpose of these people.

Liu Manhe glanced at him and said, “Reasons? There are many reasons. I don’t want to die. I want to live in the most perfect state. My family is powerful and it would be a pity if I died.”

Qin Ji reminded coldly, “But you are already dead.”

“Nonsense.” Liu Manhe laughed, “If I were dead, what would I be now?”

Zhong Lian added: “It’s a ghost.”

Liu Manhe glared at him fiercely, her voice changing tone, “Shut up! Do you think you are normal?”

“Cicada~” Zhong Lian shouted in grievance.

Wen Chan raised her eyes and looked towards Liu Manhe.

Liu Manhe: “…”

Although Wen Chan didn’t say anything, she understood the meaning in Wen Chan’s eyes.

Doesn’t that mean that even if Zhong Lian is a normal thing, there are still people who want her, but no one wants her!

“Two eyesores!” Liu Manhe rolled her eyes at the two of them.

“No matter what, as long as there are still people who want to live in the Liu Family Compound, even if Shi Zong is gone, there will be others who will become my slaves. I will always be alive and young.”

“With my looks, anyone who can be hooked up with me is lucky.”

“You can’t kill me anyway, so leave here as soon as possible. I don’t want to do anything to you.”

She was still feeling smug when Wen Chan suddenly pulled out a copper coin sword from her waist and held it in her hand.

“Oh, then I wonder how you will respond if I take out this sword?”
