Three times married to Yama

Tuanyuan Village is a small mountain village hidden among the mountains. If you want to go to the town, you have to take a one-hour bus ride. Apart from the villagers, no one usually comes here.

So our arrival is quite a novelty in this village.

Moreover, a section of the road leading to Tuanyuan Village was still unpaved, full of potholes, and the bumpy ride almost made me carsick.

How come Lu Ningqiu's lover is here?

Is it to experience a return to simplicity here?

When the car stopped at the village entrance, the old men and women from the village intelligence station were already looking in our direction.

After I got off the bus, I walked straight toward them with a warm smile on my face.

"Good afternoon, sir and ma'am. We'd like to ask you about someone, is that alright?"

An old woman looked at me, cracking sunflower seeds in her mouth, and said, "You look like a young girl from out of town. Who are you asking about in our village? Well, you've come to the right person. I know who lives in our village and how many chickens and ducks they have."

Others chimed in, "Yes, Zhang Guihua is the village's know-it-all. She knows everything that couples talk about at night, it's like she's crawling under their beds."

"What are you saying? I don't have that kind of hobby." Zhang Guihua spat at the others several times, which drew laughter from those around her.

I took out the photos that had been printed beforehand, and asked Lu Ningqiu to let me log into her social media account to download them.

Lu Ningqiu's lover is Zhou Siran, a lawyer with a refined and gentle appearance.

I placed the photo in front of Zhang Guihua and asked, "Aunt Zhang, where is this person from your village?"

Zhang Guihua, who was still eating sunflower seeds, had a smile on her face, but when she saw Zhou Siran's photo, her expression froze for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal.

However, her sudden change did not escape my notice.

"I've never seen this person before," Zhang Guihua shook her head, glancing away guiltily.

The acting was still a bit clumsy.

"Have you seen it?" I held the photo up a little higher so that others could see it clearly.

Everyone who saw the photo was slightly taken aback, but they all unanimously said they had never seen it before, which was very strange.

Ji Fengya's divination never fails. If he can tell that Zhou Siran is here, then the others must be here too. But why are these people hiding Zhou Siran's existence?

At this moment, Zhang Guihua threw away the sunflower seed shells in her hand and walked towards the village, muttering to herself as she went.

"Sigh, I have to go back and cook. The old man will yell at me if there's no food when he gets back."

I suppressed my smile and coldly watched Zhang Guihua's departing figure.

"Lu Ningqiu, follow her."

"Yes, Master A-Yin."

I think Zhang Guihua probably wasn't going back to cook, but rather to notify someone.

Seeing that Zhang Guihua had left, the others dispersed and went home.

At this moment, Ji Fengya leaned closer to me and said in a cheeky tone, "Niece, call me uncle and I'll calculate that person's exact location for you."

I rolled my eyes at him. This village is only so big; finding Zhou Siran is just a matter of time.

Moreover, I think that Lu Ningqiu will most likely get a result.

I strolled leisurely into the village with my hands behind my back. Since we were outsiders, the villagers looked at us with curiosity, and I felt a lot of curious gazes.

I overheard a woman say to the man beside her, "Old Wang, do you think these outsiders are here to see Widow Yao's husband?"

Huh? I stopped and looked at them.

The two immediately fell silent and stopped talking.

Widow Yao? That's interesting. In that case, let's go to Widow Yao's house.

Perhaps the answer we're looking for is there.

"Excuse me, how do I get to Widow Yao's house?" I asked politely.

The man named Lao Wang was about to speak when the woman next to him pulled him back and glared at him, making it clear that she wouldn't let him speak.

Alright, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Anyway, this village is only so big, and finding Widow Yao's house is just a matter of time.

But their performance really piqued my curiosity.

Xia Zheng was completely listless. Even though Lu Ningqiu had let him go, he still seemed drained of all his energy, exuding a faint sense of death.

Ji Fengya couldn't help but laugh at Xia Zheng's expression. "Young man, I'd like to ask you what it's like to be in a relationship with the infatuated beauty?"

Xia Zheng glanced listlessly at Ji Fengya, his voice tinged with sorrow, "At first, I felt like the happiest little boy in the world, but now I know that my lover has someone else..."

"But if she's willing to come back to me, I'll still treat her the same as before and won't mind anything about her past."

Seeing Xia Zheng's infatuated appearance, Ji Fengya looked at Yan Jinyue standing beside him.

As an observer of the human world, Yan Jinyue was competent, remaining silent throughout like a puppet.

"I find you to be like a block of wood. I don't know what my Ah Yin sees in you. You're so boring."

Ji Fengya moved closer to Yan Jinyue, who simply looked at him indifferently, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

All that could be heard was Ji Fengya saying to Yan Jinyue, "Speaking of which, how much genuine affection do you have for my Ah Yin? Is it as deep as that Qingmei's affection?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Jinyue began to think seriously. Then he looked up at me and replied earnestly, "There are no feelings between me and A Yin."

Ji Fengya, "???"

I looked up at the sky speechlessly; Yan Jinyue was frighteningly honest.

Even Xia Zheng, who was still immersed in his heartbreak, was stunned. He looked at me and Yan Jinyue in disbelief.

"You scumbag! Why did you marry Ah Yin if you had no feelings for her?! You—" Ji Fengya cursed and was about to throw a punch at Yan Jinyue.

I immediately grabbed Ji Fengya and frantically winked at him, "My relationship with him is complicated, but you know I'm not the kind of person who falls in love and gets married casually. I have my own ideas, trust me."

Seeing my serious expression, Ji Fengya glared at Yan Jinyue before whispering to me, "If you want to date or get married, I can introduce you to a reliable person. If all else fails, I can step in."

I,"……"

"Shut up, we're too familiar with each other to do it," I replied.

Just as we were talking, Qingmei, who had gone to follow Zhang Guihua, returned.

"Master A Yin, Zhang Guihua went to see a woman surnamed Yao. Should we go over there?" Lu Ningqiu said to me.

A woman surnamed Yao, the widow Yao?

I raised an eyebrow and said casually, "Let's go, we happen to be going to Widow Yao's house."

"Then I'll lead the way for you, Master." Lu Ningqiu very tactfully floated ahead and led the way.

As darkness fell, we arrived at Widow Yao's house.

In rural areas, houses are usually surrounded by small courtyards. Her courtyard was enclosed by an iron fence, and you could see inside the courtyard from the outside.

A woman in her thirties was picking vegetables in the yard, while Zhang Guihua was talking incessantly beside her.

Then Zhang Guihua looked up and saw our group standing outside the fence. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly grabbed the woman next to her and shook her.

"Taozhi, they're here!" Zhang Guihua's voice was full of surprise.

Yao Taozhi also saw us, and her face turned pale and she seemed a little guilty.

Ji Fengya leaned against the fence and shouted inside, "We have guests visiting, why don't you invite us in for a seat?"

Yao Taozhi put down the vegetables in her hand, went back into the house and brought out a kitchen knife.

"I don't know you. Get out of here, or don't blame me for being rude," she shouted at us.

When Zhang Guihua saw Yao Taozhi carrying a kitchen knife, she was so frightened that she quickly hid to the side.

"Hey, Taozhi, what are you doing? Put the knife down! You'll go to jail if you hurt someone!"

Ji Fengya is such a jerk. When Yao Taozhi threatened us with a kitchen knife, he pointed directly at his own head and taunted, "Come on, come on, chop here! If you don't, you're not Chinese!"

I,"……"

Please don't follow Ji Fengya's example; the chances of getting attacked will skyrocket.

"Alright, stop provoking her, or she'll chop your head off." I tugged at Ji Fengya.

Ji Fengya smiled confidently, "Don't worry, she wouldn't dare."

After saying that, he turned to Yao Taozhi and called out, "Madam, do you know Zhou Siran?"

Yao Taozhi, who was originally just holding a kitchen knife, threw it directly at us after hearing the name.

"Holy crap, he's really going to slash!" Ji Fengya exclaimed in surprise, quickly dodging the attack.

The cleaver flew straight at my face. Just as I was about to dodge it like Ji Fengya, a barrier with a faint blue arc of light suddenly appeared in front of me. The cleaver shattered into pieces the moment it hit the barrier.

This is……

I looked at Yan Jinyue standing behind me. He was slowly lowering his hand, and a flash of blue light passed over him.

I was a little stunned, then leaned closer to him and asked softly, "Yan Jinyue, didn't you say you were just an observer and wouldn't interfere in human affairs?"

He looked down at me and said softly, "The knife will hurt you."

I stared at him blankly, and for some reason, my heart, which had been still for a long time, suddenly skipped a beat.

"Ah Yin, as long as you are still my wife, even for just a moment or a second, I will protect you."

Ji Fengya and Xia Zheng, who were standing next to us, were both staring at us. Xia Zheng's eyes widened in disbelief. "My God, Mr. Yan's confession is so romantic!"

Ji Fengya put away his previous arrogant smile and looked at me and Yan Jinyue without saying a word.

"You... thank you..." I looked at Yan Jinyue, not knowing what to say, and finally just said thank you.

"You're welcome. Protecting your wife is a husband's responsibility," Yan Jinyue said to me. "Go ahead and do what you want. I'll be right behind you."

I nodded and didn't say anything more.

My relationship with Yan Jinyue is more like that of partners than husband and wife.

Ji Fengya, with a cold face, climbed over the fence into the yard. Yao Taozhi and Zhang Guihua had also seen the scene of the kitchen knife shattering into pieces.

Zhang Guihua was so shocked she couldn't close her mouth. "My God, this is a ghost!"

Ji Fengya opened the courtyard gate, and we went straight in.

Although it's not right to force your way into someone else's yard, she attacked me with a kitchen knife, so it's not unreasonable for me to go in and confront her, right?

I walked up to Yao Taozhi, staring intently at her. "Why did you react so strongly when you heard the name Zhou Siran?"

"I didn't!" Yao Taozhi immediately denied. "Who is Zhou Siran? I don't know him at all!"

Upon hearing Zhou Siran's name, Lu Ningqiu instantly appeared in front of Yao Taozhi, her eyes fixed on her.

I looked at Ji Fengya, and he immediately shouted Zhou Siran's name in the courtyard.

"Zhou Siran, your wife is here to see you. Come out now!"

"Zhou Siran, stop being a coward. What kind of person are you, lying around in this little mountain village?"

However, there was no response from the man in the courtyard, only the anxious Yao Taozhi and the guilty-looking Zhang Guihua.

I looked at Zhang Guihua, "Aunt Zhang, she doesn't know Zhou Siran, but you should, right?"

"Little girl, don't talk nonsense! How would I know anything about Zhou Siran!" Zhang Guihua shouted back, clearly trying to cover up her guilty conscience.

They naturally wouldn't easily admit that it would be great if Zhou Siran could appear.

By this time it was almost dark, and I was thinking about how to get Zhang Guihua and Yao Taozhi to talk when the courtyard gate was suddenly opened.

A man carrying a hoe came in from outside.

"Hey, why are there so many people in our house today? Taozhi, are all these people your relatives?" The man said, putting down his hoe and walking towards Yao Taozhi.

Upon seeing the man appear, Yao Taozhi became extremely anxious. She ran in front of him, trying to shield him from view, but the man was much taller than her and couldn't hide him at all.

"Ah Niu, come inside! Don't come out!" Yao Taozhi said, pushing the man into the house.

But Ji Fengya and Xia Zheng tacitly blocked the doorway.

The man was completely bewildered. "Taozhi, what's wrong? What happened? Who are they?"

From the moment I saw this man, I knew the person we were looking for had appeared.

Although the man was a bit darker than the person in the photo, his facial contours and features remained unchanged; he was Zhou Siran.

"Sir!"

Lu Ningqiu let out a heart-wrenching scream and rushed towards Zhou Siran, trying to embrace him, but her body passed right through him again and again.

I said directly to Zhou Siran, "We're here to see you, Zhou Siran."

Zhou Siran was taken aback, her eyes filled with confusion. "What Zhou Siran? My name is A Niu. I'm not Zhou Siran."

Um, he said he's Ah Niu, does that mean he has amnesia?

At this moment, Xia Zheng was even more agitated than Lu Ningqiu. He lunged at Zhou Siran, grabbed his collar, and roared fiercely, "Pah! You're not A Niu, your name is Zhou Siran, and you're my lover's lover!"

"Have you forgotten Lu Ningqiu?!"

I walked up to Yao Taozhi and said to her, "We're here today to take Zhou Siran away. His wife waited for him until her death. You can't leave him here any longer."
