Two: From Sow to Beauty

1639 Words
How could a man and a beast have children? This man is clearly trying to torment me on purpose. He killed my entire family, and now he wants to harm me again. Seeing that we had both compromised and my life was saved, Old Lady Hu probably thought this was the best outcome, so she didn't say much more. She got up from the kang bed and said to us, "There's another room in the west wing. It'll be your bridal chamber for tonight. Sleep there, and you'll be husband and wife when you wake up tomorrow morning. Hu Lao'er, you'd better not go back on your word. If anything happens to Old Han's granddaughter in the future, I, this old woman, won't be easy to deal with." "Whether anything happens or not depends on how she behaves," the man answered with a smile at the corner of his mouth. Seeing that I was still standing there without moving, he asked me, "Why aren't you going in? Don't tell me you're expecting me to carry you into the bridal chamber?" I had imagined what kind of husband I would marry in the future and what kind of high-class, romantic wedding I would have. But now, seeing this man transformed from a beast in front of me, there was no wedding dress or ring. Just sleeping for one night and it's all settled. How is this different from animals? Thinking that my life would be ruined by him, I felt a surge of emotions and couldn't even cry. Old Lady Hu saw my distressed look and seemed helpless, so she softened her voice when speaking to the man: "Among our entire Hu family, you have the strongest desire for revenge. You've already ravaged her mother to death. That should be enough. This girl is young and can't withstand your torment." Despite Old Lady Hu's pleading tone, it was clear that the man didn't take her words to heart. Instead, he frivolously replied to Old Lady Hu, "Her mother is her mother, and she is her. Don't worry, how could I not cherish such a charming girl?" Although his reply was not pleasant, there was no intention to harm me in his words. Hearing his response, Old Lady Hu, no matter how uneasy, had no other choice. She told us she had pilgrims coming to see her tomorrow and needed to get up early, so she went to bed first. After Old Lady Hu went into her room, the man took me into the west wing. There was no light in the room, but the beast didn't care and directly rolled with me onto the kang bed. Seeing my embarrassment, he became even more excited and teased me, asking, "Still a virgin?" I turned my head away, too disgusted to deal with this man, wishing I could just kill this beast with one stab. Seeing that I didn't answer, the man laughed and said to me, "But soon you won't be. The first time will hurt, the second time will be numb, and the third and fourth times will be like little bugs crawling. Once you experience the pleasure, you'll be begging me." All night long, I was in so much pain that my heart and liver were trembling. I even thought about just dying to end it all. But there's an old saying that it's better to live poorly than die early. This beast killed my whole family, and I couldn't let him get away with it and live so carefree. The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, the sound of a car horn echoed at the entrance of Old Lady Hu's house, waking me up. I turned my head to look, and the beast had already left. There was a stench of wolves on me. When I lifted the quilt, it was covered in bloodstains mixed with wolf fur. I wanted to get up, but it was incredibly painful. Finally, with great difficulty, I stood up, and I saw a shiny gold chain on the kang bed. I reached out and picked up the chain, which had a longevity lock hanging from it, engraved with "Shoubi Nanshan" (Longevity as Enduring as the Southern Mountains). There was no chain on the kang bed when I lay down last night. Could it have been dropped by the beast last night? The chain and lock were quite heavy. That beast still wanted longevity as enduring as the Southern Mountains? Dream on. Since I found something belonging to that beast, of course, I wouldn't return it. It was his loss, so I immediately put the chain away and then walked outside. At that moment, a luxurious Mercedes was parked right outside Old Lady Hu's door, and a middle-aged man and woman got out of the car. The man was dressed casually but had a potbelly, while the woman was dressed elegantly, with her hair up and light makeup on her face. Although she was not in her youth, she was still very charming. Old Lady Hu was quite enthusiastic towards the two of them. Seeing me coming out of the room, she hurriedly called me in to greet the man and woman and have them sit down. Looking at their attire, they were clearly not ordinary people, but rather wealthy or noble. I had originally thought Old Lady Hu was just an old woman who knew some tricks. After all, when I was discussing matters with that beast last night, whatever that beast said went, and Old Lady Hu had no say at all. But now, seeing such wealthy people coming to Old Lady Hu for help, I began to doubt whether Old Lady Hu was just falsely advertising and deceiving people. However, after I invited the two to sit on the kang bed, Old Lady Hu also sat down opposite them. The man started off quite politely, asking who I was and exchanging a few pleasantries with Old Lady Hu. But the woman seemed impatient and couldn't sit still. She didn't bother with pleasantries and directly said to Old Lady Hu, "Hu Xian Gu, we also heard about your divine powers through someone else's introduction. Please take a look at what's wrong with my husband. If you don't help him, his future prospects and reputation will be completely ruined." When the woman said this, I had a guess about what her husband did for a living. He was probably an official or someone who "wears a hat with a double mouth and eats the emperor's grain" (a metaphor for being a government official). "It's not difficult for me to help you look into your issue, but you need to tell me the story firsthand," said Old Lady Hu. I was already in pain just standing there, and seeing that Old Lady Hu was about to look into their issue, I didn't want to disturb her. I was about to turn around and find a place to rest when Old Lady Hu suddenly turned her head to look at me and said, "You just stand there and watch. After this matter is finished, I have something to say to you." It was probably a bit embarrassing to speak, and at first, the two people who came to seek help were hesitant to speak. But perhaps they really encountered some desperate situation, so the woman spoke on behalf of the man: "A few months ago, my husband went down to the countryside for inspection and stayed at a farmer's house. One night, when my husband went out to urinate, he saw a very beautiful woman standing on the river dam next to the farmer's house. Blinded by lust, my husband actually went up to chat with this woman, and one thing led to another, they ended up having an affair on the river dam. At that time, my husband even gave the woman his Jaeger-LeCoultre watch, which he was wearing on his wrist, and arranged to meet her again the next night for a secret rendezvous." Watching this woman speak with a troubled expression about her husband's actions, her husband sat next to her like a child, silent and sulking. "Continue speaking. Only if you make things clear can I help you solve it," said Old Lady Hu, whose expression had become serious by this time, looking very much like a grand immortal. "But who would have thought, on the second night, my husband went to the river dam again, and that woman didn't show up. My husband, unwilling to give up, went there for several more nights in a row but never saw the woman again. Later, when he was coming back, he passed by the farmer's pigsty and saw the watch he had given to that woman, now worn on the hoof of a sleeping sow in the pigsty!" Although I knew I shouldn't laugh at this moment, was this woman suggesting that the one who had relations with her husband that night was an old sow? "What happened next?" I couldn't help but ask, feeling a bit abrupt after I asked. But perhaps the woman saw me as Old Lady Hu's disciple or something, so she continued to answer my question. "After my husband came back, his behavior became like that of a pig. Every day, he had to drink stale water, eat pig food, defecate and urinate everywhere. Sometimes, when he went crazy, he would talk nonsense and even say that the sow had run into our house. Hu Da Xian, I really can't stand it anymore. Can you please help me solve this problem? It's related to my husband's future development. I beg you, if you are willing to help us, my husband and I will treat you like our own mother for the rest of our lives."
