The invasion of the abyss begins with the Laughing at the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 29: Escape to Daqing Mountain

November 29th, Wangjiawu Fort.

In the dead of winter, the temperature dropped rapidly and heavy snow fell as expected. The entire area outside the Great Wall was covered in silver, creating a beautiful northern scenery.

Wangjiawu Fort, which used to be bustling with people, was now shrouded in a deep sadness. Paper money was floating in the air, as white and thick as the snow on the ground.

In front of the mourning shed, the yard was filled with funeral banners wrapped in white cloth, which were 36 feet high. It was eerie and looked like a ghost cave.

At the request of Master Wang, all the people in Wangjiawubao wore thin mourning clothes and knelt in the snow to bid farewell to their young master. It was a grand scene.

No matter whether it was real crying, fake crying, or crying due to the severe cold, the entire fort was filled with the sound of crying.

"Master, the young master died young and is extremely lonely in the underworld. Why not have a ghost marriage?"

The busy housekeeper Zhao Erniu's eyes rolled around, a sinister cold light flashed across them, and a bad idea instantly came to his mind.

Ghost marriage, also known as ghost marriage, is a marriage that is arranged between the dead and the deceased. Many unmarried children of wealthy families pass away for various reasons. In order to appease the resentment of the deceased, the family will find a bride for the dead.

Some families with a conscience, but not many, would let their women remain widows, while some cruel ones would simply bury the bride alive to accompany their dead children.

"A ghost marriage? Yes, my son will be alone in the underground, with no one to take care of him, and he won't even have a wife who can understand him. This is not good."

"Butler, whose daughter do you think is the most suitable for a ghost marriage?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang, who was grieving alone, walked around anxiously, wanting to find a good daughter-in-law for his son who would be good in all aspects.

He failed to protect his son during his lifetime, causing Wang Zhenzu to die an untimely death and even have his head chopped off. After his death, Mr. Wang will make sure his son lives in glory.

Without saying anything more, Zhao Erniu mentioned: "Master, when the young master was alive, he admired Li Wan'er, the child bride of the Shen family, very much and even came to her house in person."

A villain will become arrogant when he succeeds. Zhao Erniu is such a person. After Shen Yuanliang recovered from his illness, his hope of making the whole family rich was dashed, and he hated the Shen family from then on.

An inexplicable hatred lingered in my heart and could not be dispelled for a long time. Even with the passage of time, this hatred became stronger and stronger like fine wine stored in a cellar.

"Li Wan'er? She's a nice girl."

"Butler Zhao, go and kidnap Li Wan'er and have her and the young master get married quickly. Don't delay the auspicious date so that they can be buried together."

"Take care of this matter, remove the word 'on behalf', and you will be the steward of the Wang family."

Holding the two iron balls in his hands, Mr. Wang remembered that his disappointing son really liked Li Wan'er, and a cold light flashed in his ink-black eyes.

In Mr. Wang's eyes, it was Li Wan'er's blessing to marry his son, not to mention that all the bad luck of the Wang family started from the Shen family.

"Yes, sir."

……

"Aunt, the Wang family has sent someone here, wanting Miss Wan'er to be arranged to have a ghost marriage with that playboy Wang Zhenzu."

"Run! It will be too late if you don't leave now!"

In the biting cold wind, the skinny monkey, wrapped tightly, stepped on the knee-deep snow and rushed into the Shen family yard, shouting anxiously.

Shen Yuanliang entered Daqing Mountain for a ten-day life-and-death test. At his request, Shouhou kept an eye on the movements of Wangjiawubao to prevent Mr. Wang from jumping off the wall. Unexpectedly, Zhao Erniu was so vicious and inhuman!

"Mother, Brother Yuanliang is still in Daqing Mountain! If we leave, what should we do if Brother Yuanliang can't find us when he comes back?"

"It's been eleven days, one day longer than expected. Did something happen to Brother Yuanliang?"

Yesterday was the last day of the life-and-death trial. I thought Shen Yuanliang would return home today at the latest, but I didn’t expect that it would be almost evening and Li Wan’er still hadn’t seen him.

At that moment, the Wang family was approaching with great force. Li Wan'er never considered her own safety, but instead thought about Shen Yuanliang, wondering if he was lost in the mountains or if he was in danger?
"Madam, the Wang family is simply going too far. Let's fight them."

The honest Shitou got so angry that his face turned red and his eyes were full of fire. He swiftly picked up the bow and arrow on the wall, ready to fight to the death.

He grew up in the Shen family. Li Wan'er is Shitou's sister and Liang Ge'er's wife. Now the Wang family has a crazy idea and wants to arrange a ghost marriage. It depends on whether he agrees!

The worst that can happen is death, and you can be a hero again eighteen years later!
"Madam, the Wang family wants to arrange a ghost marriage, anyone can be chosen, let me go for Miss Wan'er!"

Dongmei, who was standing by, volunteered to exchange her own life for Li Wan'er's as a way of repaying Shen Yuanliang's kindness.

Since they came to the Shen family, the people in the Shen family did not treat the four sisters as outsiders and took good care of them. Now that the Shen family was in trouble, Dongmei took on the responsibility.

"Where there is life, there is hope."

"The Wang family's power is complex and intertwined. We can't afford to offend them, but can we hide from them? Time is urgent. Let's leave here first. We can talk about other things later."

Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, the skinny monkey, who has been in the market for many years, has never had the awareness of "knowing there is a tiger in the mountain, and still going there", and the most important thing is to save his life.

It’s all about survival!
"Shi Tou, Dong Mei, pack your things, we are going to Da Qing Shan."

Looking at Shi Tou, Dong Mei and others who looked a little immature in front of her, Shen Chen no longer hesitated and gave orders.

It is snowing heavily at this moment, making travel extremely inconvenient. Daqing Mountain is the only way to survive. With the help of the complex environment in the mountains, they can avoid the Wang family's pursuit.

Shen Chen even had another thought. Shen Yuanliang had not returned yet, and she was very worried and wanted to go to Daqingshan to find her son.

At the urging of Shen Chen, the Shen family and their group braved the heavy snow, stepped on the crunchy snow, and fled to the Daqing Mountain one step deep and one step shallow.

A cup of tea later, Zhao Erniu, with twenty or thirty guards from the Wang family, marched into the Shen family's yard with a proud look on their faces, wanting to see how panicked they were.

"Butler Zhao, there's no one in the yard, and no one in the house!"

The middle-aged security guard who went ahead searched the entire yard. The fire on the stove was still burning and there was some warmth left on the kang, but there was no sign of anyone.

"Escaped? Who tipped off the Shen family? If I find out, I'll skin you alive."

"Hurry up and chase her. If you don't kidnap Li Wan'er today, you know what the master will do."

He thought it would be an easy task, but he didn't expect that the Shen family would escape. Zhao Erniu became furious and his face was extremely distorted, like a ghost crawling out of hell.

Zhao Erniu, who was in a bad mood, looked at the yard in front of him, which was not pleasing to his eyes. He rushed into the kitchen with a rage, made a fuss, and then set the whole Shen family on fire.

The fire that shot up into the sky burned fiercely, and thick black smoke rose up, contrasting with the white snow all over the sky.
