The woman was speechless and it took a while to find her voice, "We can't help you. If you don't want to help, just say it, just like we're forcing you."

Archie laughed at herself, "Yes, you didn't force me, it's me that's stupid, it's me that I'm stupid. I'm idle and good-looking, thinking that as long as I give, I can get rewards."

He gritted his teeth and said, "Every household has something to do, and in the end, what did you do to me? Because the village chief's nephew's family has some money, you all go to curry favor with him. Even if you choose the next village chief, you will not give me a chance, and you will all choose him."

The village chief let go of his collar and looked at him with disappointment.

He took a two-step back, reached out to hold the table, and stabilized his hunched body, "Because of this, you don't even want your conscience. He actually poisoned the villagers, and even poisoned your father's family. You're so confused."

Things have reached this point, Archie ignored it and said, "It's you who are confused, why don't you let me take over your position?"

"I have done so many good things. Whoever sees my efforts? Do good people deserve to be good people for the rest of their lives?"

If a dog is anxious, he will jump over the wall, let alone a living person.

The village chief sighed heavily and shook his head helplessly.

Gu Qingning narrowed his eyes, his indifferent tone was a little cold, "Who is the person behind you?"

Meeting her gaze, Archie sneered, "Why should I tell you?"

Gu Qingning curled her red lips slightly, "If you don't care about your son's safety, it's okay if you don't say it."

Archie's expression froze, and there was no doubt that his son was his weakness.

After a brief silence, he collapsed his shoulders and felt his strength being pulled away. He said in a silence, "That day, a man in black came to me. He said he wanted the holy objects offered in the ancestral hall in our village. As long as I help him steal the holy objects and give them to him, he will give me a lot of money."

"For so many years, my wife and son have not lived a good life with me. I thought I would take them away from here after getting the money, but I didn't expect that things would be so serious."

Gu Qingning frowned slightly, "He taught you about poisoning?"

Aqi shook his head, "No, it's my own way. There are people guarding the ancestral hall every day, and the key is with the village chief. Only when something happens in the village, the defense of the ancestral hall will relax, and I have the opportunity to sneak in."

The woman pointed at him and scolded, "You crazy guy, do you know that it's poison? You can even take action on your father. Are you still human?"

Archie lowered his head and said weakly, "If they hadn't appeared, I would have given you the antidote. Although I want money, I never thought of killing you."

The village chief was mixed with feelings. When he met the gaze that Gu Qingning cast, he smiled bitterly, "If you want to ask, ask."

He lost this bet.

Gu Qingning's voice was gentle and authentic, "The holy objects worshipped in the ancestral hall."

The village chief stared at her for a while, sighed softly, "It's bloody wish."

Fu Juncheng's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and a dark light shone deep in the depths.

"Can you show us?"

The village chief hesitated and finally let go, "I can give you blood, but you have to do us a favor and give us a peaceful life before."

Although Xue Ruyi is a holy object they worship, in this situation, with their strength, they will definitely not be able to protect Xue Ruyi. Otherwise, they would exchange Blood Ruyi for their peaceful life.

Fu Juncheng nodded, as if he had agreed to his request.

The village chief walked to the cabinet, opened the drawer, and took out a key from it.

"No need to go for a waste of time. Xue Ruyi is no longer in the ancestral hall."

The voice of life being undesirable sounded in the wooden house with a mocking smile.

For a moment, many eyes looked at Aqi.

The village chief vaguely guessed something and couldn't help but feel chilled, "What did you say? What does Xue Ruyi mean that he is not in the ancestral hall? What did you do?"

Archie didn't keep it a secret and said directly, "The man in black has taken Xue Ruyi away."

The village chief was shocked, and the key slid from his hand and hit the ground hard.

"Dong--"

The heavy muffled voice made the village chief's heart cool, and a trace of despair flashed through his muddy eyes.

The blood and wish are gone, and their village is over.

Gu Qingning restrained the scattering on his face, and his eyebrows and eyes gradually became colder, "Do you still remember what that man looks like?"

Archie shook his head, "The man was covered in black and had a mask on his face, and he couldn't see his face at all."

"What's his name? Are there any other accomplices?"

"I don't know, he won't let me ask more, he's the only one from beginning to end."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingning knew that the clue was broken again.

She looked at Fu Juncheng, and her obsidian-like eyes showed a deep helplessness.

Still one step late.

Fu Juncheng reached out and touched her head, with a plain expression but a hidden sharpness, "Don't hurry, take your time."

People hiding in the dark will always appear one day, no matter whether they are humans or ghosts.

Gu Qingning pursed her lips and turned to look at the village chief who was sitting on the ground.

After being hit, the old man seemed to have grown older for a moment, and his turbid eyes lost their luster.

"What I promised you just now still counts."

A low voice suddenly rang, but the voice was still as cold as usual.

However, it was a great surprise to the village chief.

He stared at Fu Juncheng with a glimmer of hope in his eyes, "Really?"

Fu Juncheng nodded slightly, the village chief felt relieved and smiled gratefully, "Thank you, thank you."

Gu Qingning tilted his head and looked at the man beside him. As the eyes met, the corners of their lips curled up in similar arcs.

When leaving the wooden house, Gu Qingning paused, and his light swept to Aqi sitting on the ground, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She deliberately slowed down her speech, "Actually, your wife is not dead. Everything I just did was just to cheat the truth out of your mouth."

The woman was the woman who held the child yesterday, and she asked her to cooperate in the play.

Archie stared at her with red eyes, got up from the ground, and rushed over with great momentum.

"I've fought with you."

Fu Juncheng's face was covered with a layer of coldness, and his eyes were slightly raised, like a sharp dagger, with a cold light.

Just as Archie approached, he kicked him in the abdomen, carrying a strong aura, Archie flew backwards, his thick body hit the yellowed wall, and then fell to the ground.

"puff--"

Archie squirted out a mouthful of blood, closed her eyes and fainted.

Yun Zheng Petrified, feeling that he has no use for himself.

Gu Qingning smiled and stuffed his hand into Fu Juncheng's warm palm.

"Let's go, Mr. Yin is still waiting for us."

The chill between Fu Juncheng's eyebrows faded a little, he held her hand and took her out of the wooden house.
