Chapter 457: Revenge
Translator: Lonelytree
I couldn’t help but have a bad premonition. “Was my uncle discovered?”
Grandma’s gaze was somewhat blank as if she had passed through time and space and returned to the chaotic scene.
“Tong Hui relied on his rich experience in the wilderness to escape very quickly. However, at the last moment, he was caught up by the priestess. They were right before a river. On the other side were his brothers who came to save him, and on this side, was the woman who had saved his life. She even surrendered her body to him. She had done everything she could have done for him.
“However, Tong Hui jumped into the river and swam as fast as he could. He had no hesitation. He didn’t even once turn around despite the mute girl’s heart-wrenching cries of despair.”!!
Grandma stopped. Her eyes were filled with sorrow.
“Tong Hui forgot about the mute girl when he returned to the Tong family. However, half a month later, he started to get sick. He was in excruciating pain even though he had no wounds. At first, he suspected his old wounds had been infected because they were not treated properly.
“However, examination revealed that the priestess was a skilled medical practitioner. His wounds didn’t even leave a scar. However, that didn’t solve the mysterious pain. The Tong family hired the best doctors and found the most advanced medical equipment in the world, but there was no result. Tong Hui’s pain almost drove him crazy.
“Later, he started to turn to fortune-telling and strange rituals. It was a strange man who told him that he was poisoned by witch doctors. Tong Hui was poisoned by witchcraft. He had offended a powerful witch doctor, and that was the source of his pain.
“Tong Hui didn’t tell anyone about his relationship with the mute girl, so when the man brought up elements of witchcraft, Tong Hui knew the man was right.
“The man told him that as long as the poisoner was close to him, he would be healed. The solution thus was to return to live with the mute girl or bring the mute girl out to live with her.
“Tong Hui wanted neither. He just wanted to cure the poison. The man told him that the poison couldn’t be cured since it was imbued with blood. That made Tong Hui want to kill the mute girl to make the poison lose its power. But the man told him killing her wouldn’t help either. Tong Hui had no choice but to start looking for the mute girl.”
Grandma stopped. The story was engrossing. Xiao Yi and I were captivated. Xiao Yi urged, “So did they find her?”
I already knew the answer. If the story had a happy ending, we would not be in this state.
Moreover, I realized Tong Hui was unlike my little uncle, and he was extremely vengeful. He would never forgive the mute girl.
I focused on listening to the story.
Grandma straightened her back and said calmly, “Tong Hui spread the news that he discovered a gold mine in the rainforest, but it was heavily guarded by the native tribes.”
“Huh?” Xiao Yi and I couldn’t help but exclaim.
Grandma looked at me with a bitter smile. “I told you human nature is the most unreliable.”
I was speechless.
Tong Hui was too ruthless. He had brought disaster to the tribes in the rainforest. He would sacrifice these innocent people for his personal grudge!
“Calamity fell on the tribes and the rainforest. Peaceful days were over. The primitive weapons had no chance of winning against modern firearms and ammunition. Other than gold, the modern man realized the primitive community was also a treasure trove in itself. Ancient relics were stolen, men were killed, children were captured and sold, women were enslaved and raped..”
