Chapter 1
Gunshots
In the boundless darkness, Ye Ling’s consciousness slowly became clear, but she felt a heavy weight on her body. She could even hear the heavy and lecherous gasps of a man.
Wasn’t she dead? Could one still have consciousness after death?
Ye Ling struggled to open her heavy eyes. The moment she opened them, she saw a familiar face.
The man in front of her was in his thirties, and his skin was covered in a layer of oil. His small, wretched eyes were staring at Ye Ling’s voluptuous breasts, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva at the same time.
Ye Ling was greatly shocked. How could it be him? She had already died. Couldn’t she escape from this d*mn man?
“Lingling, you have a great figure. You are even more beautiful than Widow Li, who sells tofu in the town. Don’t worry, the first time might hurt a bit, but I’ll be gentle…” The man chuckled disgustingly, reaching out to touch Ye Ling’s chest.
The nightmarish memories of her previous life flashed through Ye Ling’s mind. At that time, she was defiled by this sc*mbag!
Ye Ling, who had died once, widened her eyes in anger. Despite not knowing where she found the courage, she clenched her fist tightly and fiercely smashed it into the man’s nose.
“Wu De, go to hell!”
Taking advantage of the man’s painful wailing, Ye Ling quickly got up and kicked Wu De once more. Then, she turned around, intending to leave.
Wu De saw that Ye Ling wanted to run, so he endured the pain and caught up to her. He grasped Ye Ling’s wrist tightly, as his strength surpassed hers. Ye Ling fell to the ground in a miserable state. Wu De wiped away the blood from his nose and pressed himself onto Ye Ling again, saying, “Ye Ling, be obedient and obey me!”
Wu De looked down at Ye Ling, a sneer on his greasy and repulsive face. Ye Ling’s resistance only further aroused his desire to conquer her. His eyes flickered with anger and excitement, as he used one hand to restrain Ye Ling and the other to loosen his belt.
Ye Ling gasped weakly, feeling hopeless and powerless. The tragic memories of her previous life resurfaced in her mind.
It was in this very place that she was violated by Wu De. Subsequently, Wu De exploited public opinion to force her into marriage.
After the marriage, Wu De was lazy all day. Not only did he drink and gamble, but he also went out to hook up with women. Poor Ye Ling not only had to wash clothes and cook every day to take care of her family, but she also had to endure Wu De’s domestic violence every few days.
Just thinking about those days made Ye Ling feel suffocated.
No, even if she had died, she would never allow herself to be trapped in such a miserable fate again!
Ye Ling hardened her heart. Seeing that Wu De’s greasy and ugly face was so close to her, she opened her mouth fiercely and bit down on Wu De’s shoulder. Her strength was so great that she almost bit off a piece of Wu De’s flesh!
At the same time, a deafening gunshot sounded a few meters away. The bullet landed less than two meters away from the two of them, and the strong smell of gunpowder filled the air.
Wu De trembled violently. He almost ignored the pain in his shoulder and stood up in a sorry state. As he pulled up his pants, he shouted, “Who is it? Who’s shooting?”
No one replied. Wu De regained his composure, finally feeling the intense pain. He was truly infuriated, glaring at Ye Ling and saying, “B*tch! How dare you bite me?”
Wu De grabbed Ye Ling’s black braids and wanted to drag her up and beat her severely, making this woman realize how powerful he was.
Before Wu De could make a move, there was another thunderous gunshot. This time, the bullet landed even closer, grazing past Wu De’s body. In that instant, Wu De was almost scared out of his wits.
Ye Ling rubbed her ears which were hurting from the gunshot and looked toward the depths of the reed marsh.
Was someone helping her?
The sound of gunshots quickly caught the attention of others. The village captain, Wu Bai, and Wu De’s mother, Lin Fang, hurried over, followed by several curious villagers.
“What’s going on? Why was there a gunshot? Wu De, what are you doing with Ye Ling?” Wu Bai couldn’t see the person who fired the gun. He assumed it was someone nearby who accidentally fired while hunting. He turned to Wu De and then glanced at Ye Ling, whose hair was messy and clothes were disheveled. A hint of an ambiguous smile appeared in his eyes.
Ye Ling’s expression turned even uglier when she saw Wu Bai.
She couldn’t forget this person. In her previous life, after Wu De raped her, Captain Wu Bai not only failed to bring justice but also advised her to marry Wu De and bear him a child.
“A man, once you bear him a child, he’ll behave! Ye Ling, you’ve already lost your innocence. If you don’t marry Wu De, won’t you become a laughingstock? Listen to me, Ye Ling, it’s your best choice!”
The best choice, what nonsense!
Ye Ling looked at Wu Bai with eyes filled with fiery hatred.
“Ye Ling, how shameless can you be? How dare you seduce my son in broad daylight? Are you desperate for a man?” Lin Fang stood beside Wu De and scornfully shouted as if her son was a golden treasure coveted by Ye Ling.
Upon hearing Lin Fang’s words, the villagers who had gathered to watch the commotion started whispering among themselves, casting strange looks at Ye Ling.
Ye Ling glared coldly at her previous life’s mother-in-law. “I seduced him? Are you blind? He was trying to violate me! I’m calling the police!”
At this moment, Ye Ling finally realized that she wasn’t dreaming. The vivid scenery and the lively crowd before her confirmed that she was alive! The heavens had given her another chance!
This time, she was determined to change her life. She would make sure that everyone who had harmed her would suffer!
At this moment, calling the police was the best choice. Only by blowing this matter up would Wu De not dare to continue forcing her.
After all, in this era, committing acts of hooliganism could lead to imprisonment.
