Chapter 130: Diao Lingyun's Past
This is Diao Lingyun’s past.

On earth, in a certain city.

At this moment, the world is still in the 1990s, but the tide of the times has quietly arrived.

In the old neighborhood, the roadside trees are lush and leafy, and the leaves block most of the sunlight, leaving mottled spots of light shining through the trees onto the road.

The street vendors were constantly shouting their wares. There were not many pedestrians on the road, and occasionally some would stop to buy something.

In front of a candy stall, a pure and innocent girl was staring at the candies on the stall. The sweet smell was attracting the girl's taste buds all the time, and the girl was almost drooling.

"Girl, do you want to buy it?"

The stall owner asked the girl enthusiastically.

"Boss, I want to buy it, but I don't have money."

The girl answered timidly and swallowed.

Unexpectedly, the stall owner who was so enthusiastic just now immediately turned cold, waved his hand in disdain and said:
"No money to buy? Why are you standing there for so long if you don't have money to buy? Go away, go away, don't block my business!"

The scolded girl blushed and said in a trembling voice:
"Sorry, boss, I'm leaving now!"

Having said that, he quickly left the candy stand.

Not far away, an old woman with a headscarf saw everything. She walked to the candy stand, paid for a candy.

She walked quickly to the girl, patted her on the shoulder, called her and said:
"Girl, do you want to eat this?"

As he spoke, he raised the candy in his hand.

The girl's eyes lit up, and she nodded quickly, saying:
"Yeah, old lady."

The old woman looked kind and amiable, making people not feel wary.

"Girl, this is for you. I also have a granddaughter who looks just like you, but she's in school now. She's as pretty and cute as you. When I saw you, I thought of her. If you don't mind, come to my house for a meal. My granddaughter hasn't been back for a long time. Seeing you is like seeing her."

As he spoke, his eyes became red and tears seemed like they would flow out in the next second.

Seeing that the old woman was about to cry, the girl was also touched and thought:
"What a poor old lady. Her granddaughter is not around. She must miss her granddaughter very much."

Then he said to the old lady:
"Old lady, don't cry, don't be sad, I will go back with you to eat."

Hearing the girl's words of pity, the old woman smiled, reached out her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said a few words excitedly.

Little did they know that this seemingly kind smile was actually the smile of the devil.

"Good! Good! What a good boy."

After saying that, he took the girl's arm and led her to an old alley not far away.

……

"Grandma, are we there yet?"

"Almost there!"

When she reached a corner, several people rushed forward and stopped the girl.

Looking at the people in front of her, the girl felt very scared. They were all ugly, both men and women.

"Granny, run!"

At this moment, she had no idea that the culprit behind all this was the old woman behind her.

As he said this, he grabbed the old woman's hand and tried to pull her away.

"Run, where to?"

A sinister voice came from beside her. The girl turned around and found that the old woman who had originally looked kind now had a ferocious expression and was staring at her viciously.

One hand held the girl tightly, preventing her from escaping.

No matter how naive she was, the girl understood what was going on. This old woman was in cahoots with the ugly men and women in front of her!

She looked terrified, her whole body trembling with extreme fear, and she kept backing away from the wall beside her.

She was about to shout for help when an ugly, ferocious-looking woman covered her mouth, and her cry instantly turned into a low "woooo" sound.

The woman slashed her neck with a knife, and the girl's head tilted and she passed out.

Several people lifted the girl up and carried her to a car not far away. They put the girl in a sack and put it in the trunk of the car.

The old woman talked to several people and said:
"This girl is young, fair and tender, she will definitely be able to fetch a good price."

"Hehehe, yes, it can definitely be sold at a good price. After we finish this job, we can take a break!" A few words from a few people easily destroyed a family.

Soon, the car started and drove towards the unknown mountainous area.

……

The girl woke up and found herself in a strange house with her hands and feet tied and a towel stuffed in her mouth.

A drunk old man walked into the house.

"From today on, you are my wife, Zhang San. I spent a lot of money to buy you. You have to give me more sons!"

"belch!

As he said this, he burped.

The girl struggled continuously, but her hands and feet were tied up with ropes and a towel was stuffed into her mouth.

The man kept approaching the girl with a lewd smile on his face.

But just as he was about to touch the girl, he suddenly felt a headache, his stomach churned, and he began to vomit violently.

The man quickly stepped back and leaned against the wall to catch his breath for a while before he felt better.

The man did not give up and continued to approach the girl with a lewd smile on his face.

"My pretty girl, here I come!"

But just when he was about to touch the girl again, his head began to ache violently again, his stomach felt like it was churning, and he vomited violently again.

He tried it a few more times. Whenever he got close to the girl, he would have adverse reactions such as headache and vomiting. He looked at the trembling girl in the corner with a gloomy face. He stared at her for a long time and then left with a gloomy face.

But he really didn't give up and kept trying for several days.

But every time he got close to the girl, he would have a severe headache and vomit violently.

He cursed the girl as a cursed monster.

"You're a money-loser, a cursed monster. You've made me waste so much money. I'm going to beat you to death!"

He also beat the girl severely from a distance with a broom and a long stick.

He was still not satisfied, so he took the girl out of the house and put her in the pigpen, leaving her to keep company with the animals.

And locked him in a pigsty with iron chains.

Then he would get closer to the girl every day, but every time he would suffer from severe headaches and vomiting. Every time these adverse reactions occurred, he would beat the girl severely to vent his anger.

One day, the girl seized the opportunity, broke free from him, and ran down the mountain.

She thought she had escaped successfully, but unexpectedly she was intercepted by villagers from the same village as the man.

There are no good people in this village. They are all demons in the world. They are all people who are in cahoots with that old man Zhang San. They are all birds of a feather.

Not only did they fail to save her, they sent her back.

This time the girl was beaten more severely and fainted. After waking up, Diao Lingyun was still in the familiar pigsty, still smelling the same nasty smell.

The girl felt that she had lost hope in life. She seemed to be trapped forever in this dark cage of hell. She hated herself for being so naive and following that old woman. That old woman was a living devil. Maybe it was not just her. Many other girls suffered the same fate as her.

In the human world, in a mountain village in the southwestern border of China.

Diao Lingyun was locked in a dirty pigsty, tied tightly with an iron chain. The pigs beside her were grunting. Diao Lingyun's eyes were empty and desperate. She felt that she was no different from these animals.

Her body was covered with scars and bruises, which were caused by the man beating her with a broom and a stick to vent his anger.

Her heart was filled with despair and regret.

"Can I still be saved?"

"Will someone come to rescue me?"

"Will I be trapped in this dark hell for the rest of my life?"

As she was thinking, a short and ugly old man appeared in front of her.

Slowly approaching her, Diao Lingyun looked at the old man who was getting closer and closer, her eyes full of sarcasm and hatred.

Sure enough, when the man was about to touch her, his whole body convulsed and his head ached, and he vomited while holding onto the wall.
