When we arrived in front of the quartz clock, Han Feiyan pried out three nails fixed on the clock in front of us, and then took down the quartz clock that was fixed there. After the quartz clock was taken down, I saw a protruding stone standing out in that place.

  Seeing it was just a protruding stone, I asked Han Feiyan in dismay: "Is this the rock you wanted me to see?"

  He Feiyan smiled and said, "Just wait and see!"

  After saying this, Han Feiyan pressed her hand heavily on that piece of stone.

  A strange thing happened, when Han Feiyan's hands pressed on this protruding stone, the protruding stone actually sank. Following Han Feiyan's hand turning on the sunken stone, the stone slowly rotated to the right under Han Feiyan's urging.

  After this stone slab slowly rotated half a circle to the right, in front of us, on this wall which was originally just a rock face, suddenly emitted a rumbling sound like that of an ancient primitive era. Accompanying this sound, the ground beneath our feet began to shake, and the wall in front of us, actually slowly appeared a crack, as the crack gradually expanded bigger and bigger, finally appearing a doorway in front of us.

  After this doorway appeared, through this doorway, I saw that another small space layer appeared inside.

  As soon as the rumbling sound stopped, Han Feiyan withdrew her hand and smiled at me, saying: "Come on, follow me in to take a look."

  Before I could even nod in response, Han Feiyan had already walked in ahead of me.

  After I followed Han Feiyan into this small compartment, I saw a scene that made me unbelievable.

  In this small space, there were actually seven or eight layers of densely packed wooden plaques. At a glance, I could see that there were at least two to three hundred of these wooden plaques, and it seemed like each one had a name written on it.

  What shocked me even more was that on the last row of wooden plaques, I actually saw the name Zhang Qi written above the sixth from the bottom!

  "What's going on? How can there be so many wooden plaques in here?" I looked at the wooden plaques, shocked, and stared at Han Feiyan.

  Seeing me ask this, Han Feiyan suddenly revealed a bitter smile, and she didn't answer me anything. Instead, from under the table in front of these wooden plaques, she took out three incense sticks and a box of matches. Then Han Feiyan used the matches to light up the three incense sticks, sincerely bowed three times, and then placed the three incense sticks into the incense burner on the table in front of her.

  After Han Feiyan lit the incense, she said to me: "These wooden plaques are all my offerings. Each one represents a man who died in the village due to elopement. Look, on the sixth plaque from the back, there is Zhang Qi's name. I believe this name is not unfamiliar to you. Behind Zhang Qi's plaque, the one with Chen Qiang's name is that young man who eloped with me, also known as the foolish boy in your words. Although he died in the witch's house, it was also due to elopement, so I set up a wooden plaque for him too. Every first and fifteenth day of the month, I will come to worship them."

  "Why did you do this? After those men who had walked marriages died, you set up wooden plaques for all of them. Do you know the names of all these people?"

  After I finished speaking, Han Feiyan shook her head and said: "Many names I don't know, for example, the fifth wooden plaque in the third row, this person's full name is three words, called Li something fly. Since I didn't know the middle word, I simply used Li Fei as a substitute, leaving only one blank space in between. And look at the top, many names are directly replaced with surnames, and there are even several wooden plaques without any writing on them. That's because I really don't know who the deceased is, so I can only set up empty wooden plaques."

  As soon as I heard what Han Feiyan said, I took a closer look and indeed it was so.

  "So why did you do it?" I asked again.

  As I asked this, Han Feiyan's face was bitter. She first sighed and then told me: "These men are indeed hateful, greedy for beauty, and really excessive, but it's not worth dying for, which is too cruel. What I did was for the women of the whole village, and also to atone for my sins for Witch Grandma! Every time I see these wooden plaques, I remind myself to remember the death of these men, to remember that this is a village full of sin, and to remember that Witch Grandma is the cruelest and most evil devil in the world!"

  When it came to this sentence, Han Feiyan's pupils suddenly contracted, and a fierce light appeared on her face...

  When I heard Han Feiyan say this and saw so many wooden plaques, although I looked shocked, my heart was also filled with doubts.

  "Why did you have to make me see these wooden plaques? I thought before that you wanted me to discover this place myself and see it for myself. Now, taking the initiative to bring me here to see these things, what do you want to achieve?"

  "Listen to me," Han Feiyan replied, "I want to prove my determination in front of you. I want these wooden plaques to tell you that I apologize to these men and hate the witch. The witch not only ruined the women in this village but also cruelly killed you outsiders, so I want you to help me, which is also helping the women in the village escape the abyss and helping the outsiders avoid a tragic fate."

  "So how can I help you? You have to be more specific." I said to her after glancing at the wooden plaques again.

  "Besides helping me rescue my daughter, also help me steal a book from the witch. With this book, I believe I can save all the women in the village!"

  "What book?" I was getting more and more curious.

  "I remember when the witch came to my place, she accidentally left behind an old, yellowed book. At that time, I only flipped through a few pages and glanced at it briefly before the witch found out and took it back. She even scolded me for looking at something I shouldn't have, warning me not to do it again or else she wouldn't forgive me. After the witch left, I relied on my memory to create an antidote for a type of gu poison recorded in the book, and miraculously, I managed to cure myself of the gu poison!"

  "What? You're saying that the Gu poison planted on you by the witch has been resolved?" I was shocked to hear this.

  "That's right, I'm no longer under the control of the witch!"

  "Why don't you go and cure the other women in the village now? If you can cure yourself of the Gu poison, then you should be able to cure them too! After you've cured them, you can take all the women in the village and escape, get away from the control of that witch!" I exclaimed loudly.

  "It's not that simple. In fact, the witch has cast different spells on each person in our village. Fortunately, my daughter and I were afflicted with the same spell, but unfortunately, when searching for an antidote to cure her, I was missing a crucial herb, which delayed the process of curing her. Just as I found the herb, my daughter encountered this situation and was taken away by the witch. Do you remember what Tingting said to me initially? If we rescued Han Jingjing, she also wanted me to find a way to remove the spell from her body and have you take her away. At that time, I agreed reluctantly because I didn't know what kind of spell Tingting was under, so I didn't know how to remove it. However, if you found the witch's old yellowed book, I believe that with enough time to study its contents on removing spells, we can help all the women in the village escape."

  "Really?" I asked Han Feiyan.

  "It's true! I've been unable to get close to the witch because my intentions are too obvious, and I haven't been able to find this book either. But if you can help me find it, I guarantee that I can do everything else. As long as the women in the village are freed from the poison, and we're no longer under the witch's control, her evil plans will be ruined. That's all I have to say for now, I've said what needs to be said, the rest is up to you!"
