The old man sorted out his thoughts for a moment before he spoke slowly.

"I think it was six years ago. At that time, I guarded the shop handed down from my ancestors, and it was still at the entrance of this village that I built a coffin for the funeral people. ”

"At that time, it was really as you said, business was sluggish, and there was often no food. ”

"All these changes have to start with the stupid son of the county lord's family marrying a very beautiful wife. ”

The old man sorted out his thoughts again, and it seemed that the next thing was still fresh in his memory.

"In our nearby villages, everyone actually knows that the son of the county lord is a fool. He may be laughing one moment, and the next second he is inexplicably beating someone. ”

"So how could a girl like him? At the time of the wedding, she was tied up by the servant of the county lord's family and forced to press her head, so she became close to the stupid son of the county lord's family. ”

But that night the woman ran away, and no one knew where she went. The county lord mobilized the villagers to search everywhere, but they found nothing all night. ”

And the next day, a villager from a neighboring village tied her up and sent her back to the county office. Her hair was disheveled and disheveled, apparently ruined. ”

But the county lord did not investigate the matter to the end, he rewarded the villager with some silver taels, and sent him back. Subsequently, the county lord beat the woman severely, thinking that she had damaged his family's face. ”

But his son was a fool after all, so he didn't dare to beat the woman to death. Therefore, although the woman was covered in bruises, she continued to be his daughter-in-law. ”

And when the woman's injuries were healed, the woman ran away again. This time it was still the same as last time, and the villagers didn't know about it. ”

But the next day, another villager sent the woman back to the county office. The county lord was still the same as last time, rewarded the villager with some silver taels, and beat her up again. ”

And so things settled down again, and when the woman's injuries were healed again. To their amazement, she seemed to be pregnant. ”

The villagers from several villages all went to the county lord's mansion to congratulate, including the two people who sent her back to the mansion twice. The two of them seemed to know each other, because many villagers had heard that they were betting on who the child in the woman's womb would be. ”

They were full of foul language, discussing with each other how they felt when they first caught the woman. Then some villagers spread the news, and everyone began to think that the child in the woman's womb would be the seed of one of the two people. ”

What was even more terrifying was that in the days that followed, the woman would often disappear, and often the next morning, she would be sent back to the county office in disheveled clothes. ”

"And until one day, when I came back from a neighboring village after delivering a coffin, I happened to see her running out of the official master's mansion again. The official immediately sent the villagers to look around, and I saw that in order to avoid the eyes of the villagers, she hid in my coffin. ”

That night, the villagers continued as usual and did not find her. And just as I pushed open the coffin door, she looked at me in horror like a frightened kitten. ”

"It should be admitted that she was a very beautiful woman, and that feeling of cowardice made her even more charming at that time. Although my old man was a lot older, he also saw my eyes straight at that time. ”

"How can there be such a beautiful woman in this world?"

As he spoke, the old man looked up at the sky. He seemed to be trying to remember the beauty of the woman at that time.

But after a long time, he continued.

"But my old man was a kind-hearted man, and I comforted her and told her not to be afraid, and then I took out some food and water, and handed it to her. ”

"She finally let down her guard against me, and then began to tell me about her experiences these days. ”

She said that she was originally a young lady from a wealthy family, but one day when she went out to play, she was suddenly put on her head with a sack. Then she was knocked unconscious and taken to the village. ”

She said that the county lord forced her to marry the stupid son of the county lord's family. The county lord said that he spent a lot of money to buy her. ”

She knew that she had been trafficked, but she was unwilling, she wanted to escape. ”

But on her first escape, she met a villager who warmly invited her into her house and hid. She was cold and hungry because of the upheaval along the way, so she went into the villager's house. ”

But the villager was no better than a beast, and as soon as she stepped into the villager's house, the villager began to tear her clothes and press her to the bed. When she was done, the villager not only let her go, but also tied her up, and sent her back to the county government the next day in exchange for a silver reward. ”

She was beaten up again like that, and began to live with the stupid son of the county master's family. But that stupid son is not only stupid, but also very short-tempered. So when her injuries healed, she began to run again. ”

And this time, almost exactly like the last time, another villager invited her into his house. She thought that the same bad guy should not be met twice, and she had to believe that there would be good people in this world, so she stepped into the villager's house again. ”

But as a result, this villager behaved exactly the same as the person last time. ”

"She was sent to the government again and again, and she was beaten again. And this time, she's pregnant. ”

The villagers from all over the country rushed to the county government to congratulate, and she was also in the crowd and saw the two people before. The two men knew each other, and she had just found out, and they were both talking about themselves, and their tones were full of lewdness. ”

She couldn't stand it, so she ran away again that night. But she didn't expect that she met a lot of people along the way, all of whom were inviting her to their houses. ”

She ran away, but they all caught up with her, and dragged her into another room. ”

"So she started to be very resentful of the people here, and the more resentful she was, the more she wanted to run away. But those villagers began to pay attention to her all the time, and when they looked at her, they were already more active than the county government. ”

The more she ran, the more the villagers chased after her. And the more the villagers chased and intercepted her, the more her resentment towards the villagers deepened, and the more she wanted to escape. ”

And just like that, a cycle is formed. And until her escape, she thought that there would be no one to guard the coffin shop, but she didn't expect to meet me. ”
