Chen Jianghe could afford to build a small villa, drive a little Audi, and become the village head of Chenjiawan Village, all thanks to his wife.
Moreover, his wife's family was involved in the underworld. Once their affairs were exposed, it wouldn't be as simple as leaving with nothing—he might even be beaten to death.
Chen Jianghe panicked, grabbed some clothes at random, and hurried out of the house.
After walking a few steps, he grabbed a stick standing in the corner of the wall and yelled, "Chen Erniu, stop right there..."
By this time, Chen Erniu had already run out of the backyard.
Hearing the shout, he glanced back.
Seeing Chen Jianghe running after him with a stick, looking fierce and vicious, he no longer dared to seek out his sister-in-law.
Pushing the front yard gate open in a hurry, Chen Erniu ran forward without looking back.
Chen Jianghe relentlessly pursued him from behind.
"Chen Erniu..."
"Chen Erniu, stop for me."
"Don't run!"
Chen Jianghe kept up the chase.
But Chen Erniu didn't dare to stop.
In his youth, Chen Jianghe was a notorious thug in the village, often beating people up until they bled profusely.
Chen Erniu had been beaten by him several times and was traumatized by it.
In order to avoid Chen Jianghe, Chen Erniu ran haphazardly, without choosing his path.
Suddenly, he found himself at the back mountain without knowing how he got there.
In the pitch-dark night, the path on the back mountain could hardly be seen.
Chen Erniu felt something trip him, and with a slip of his feet, he fell into a pond next to him with a splash.
By the time Chen Jianghe arrived, the pond had become eerily silent.
The fallen Chen Erniu seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Chen Jianghe stood by the pond, waited a long while, but did not see Chen Erniu emerge.
Suddenly, he burst into laughter, "Luo Niutang is bottomless. Falling in means death, Chen Erniu is definitely dead. I don't have to worry about the secret getting out now, this is great..."
His face, previously tense, now relaxed, and Chen Jianghe's mind was filled with the thrill of cuckolding Chen Sanwa.
After waiting at Luo Niutang for about half an hour, Chen Jianghe turned and headed for Chen Erniu's house.
He had just started playing with Han Meili, and was not yet ready to stop.
He had purposely waited half an hour, which was more than enough time for a drowning person to die in the water.
Chen Jianghe no longer needed to worry about his affair with Han Meili being revealed.
With the excitement of having narrowly escaped disaster, Chen Jianghe continued his sordid affair with Han Meili. They even discussed pretending to search for Chen Erniu the next day. Regardless of whether they found his body or not, it wouldn't affect their future relationship.
Meanwhile, at the depths of Luo Niutang.
As soon as Chen Erniu hit the water, he felt a strong suction pulling him down to deeper depths.
Unsure how long he sank, Chen Erniu felt as though he was about to die.
The faces of his sister-in-law He Hongjuan and his brother Chen Sanwa appeared in his mind.
But at that moment, a light laugh filled with a touch of joy suddenly resounded.
"Hey... young man, you've finally come. I've been waiting for you for so long!"
Before Chen Erniu could process whose voice it was, he felt himself being embraced.
Immediately, a woman as beautiful as a fairy appeared before him.
"I am here to repay you. Don't you forget me!" said the fairy-like woman with a sly smile, drawing closer to Chen Erniu.
Her lips, carrying a mix of coldness, tenderness, and sweetness, pressed firmly against Chen Erniu's thick lips.
A bone-chilling coolness spread from his mouth throughout his body in an instant.
Chen Erniu shivered from the cold and lost consciousness.
When he opened his eyes again, dawn had broken.
Chen Erniu found himself lying on a stone beside Luo Niutang.
His clothes were neat and clean.
His body was uninjured.
It was as if he had never fallen into Luo Niutang.
Yet, he clearly remembered falling into Luo Niutang. How could he be lying here in one piece?
Luo Niutang was the most mysterious place in Chenjiawan Village.
Many cows had fallen into this pond and vanished as if erased, with not even corpses retrievable.
Even throwing a large stone into it would see it disappear without trace.
"Who saved me?"
"No, wait..."
"I'm not stupid anymore!"
Suddenly, Chen Erniu felt an unprecedented clarity of mind. Past events flashed through his brain like a movie.
In a brief moment, it was as if he relived his past twenty-something years!
"Big brother! Sister-in-law! Sanwa! And the villagers too!" Chen Erniu's gaze grew complex.
Now, he felt like a man sobering up from drunkenness, with past experiences clear as if they had been drunken memories.
The memories remained the same, yet his mind was completely lucid!
"I never thought that Chen Erniu, after being silly for so many years, would one day return to normal. Could it be... because of the fairy just now?"
Chen Erniu looked around but saw no one.
He faintly remembered being embraced by a beautiful woman like a fairy before losing consciousness.
Could it be that ghosts and deities really exist in this world?
Murmuring to himself, Chen Erniu suddenly found that his brain contained something called the "Dragon God Scripture," and his strength, vision, and hearing had become much sharper.
From afar, he could hear a commotion coming from the direction of his house.
"That's right, the dog couple, Chen Jianghe and Han Meili."
Thinking of what he had seen and heard of this ignoble pair the night before,
Chen Erniu felt rage fill his heart. Standing up, he started running toward the village.
