Chapter 270: Yin and Yang

Chapter 270 Yin and Yang

Inside the oppressive, cramped woodshed, the boy bound to the pillar was tormented by his own parents until he screamed incessantly, his voice wretched, so much so that even Li Huowang felt pained in his heart.

After a while, the iron frame pulling him finally loosened, the boy's head slumped to the side, taking advantage of this rare interval to gulp breath in great gasps.

Immediately after, the couple, dressed in vivid attire, hurriedly crouched down, examining their son's lower body with careful scrutiny.

"How is it? Is it working?"

Hearing the woman speak, the man carefully gestured with his fingers a few times, his expression turning quite dejected as he said, "No good! We cannot delay any longer, we must put on the lock, otherwise it will be too late!"

The child, whose hair was drenched in his own sweat, heard these words and was instantly jolted, begging urgently with a voice trembling with tears, "Father, I won't take the lock, I won't take the lock!"

The man was equally reluctant, but ultimately he sighed, gently stroking the back of his child's head with his hand.

"Jing'er, be good, a real man does not fear pain, once the lock is on it will be fine, the lock hurts at most a bit, but without your life root, you will not even be a man in the future."

"Then I don't want to be a man! I don't want to be a man!!" Like grabbing a straw, the boy shouted loudly at his own father repeatedly.

Hearing his son shout like this, the man looked very reluctant, yet he still shed tears, turned around, and picked up an iron box from the ground beside him.

The box was opened, and a small silver square lock with a silver chain was retrieved by him.

"Father!! Father!! Don't!!" Anticipating the agony, the boy cried out in despair.

Just as the sharp lock head drew closer and closer, suddenly the door of the woodshed was pushed open violently, a gust of wild wind blew in, causing the three people inside to immediately squint their eyes shut.

Sensing danger, the man holding the copper lock instantly turned around, his expression panicked, spreading his hands wide to shield his son and wife, "Who! Who is it! Help! Someone help!! Someone is assassinating this magistrate!"

Not long after hearing the sound, several constables in green robes rushed in hastily, they held straight swords in hand and bowed with both fists towards the man. "Magistrate Yang, how is it?"

Pi County Magistrate Yang Hongzhi used a trembling hand, fearfully pointing at the opened woodshed door, "This door suddenly opened, it came!

That thing came!!"

On the desolate street, Li Huowang walked back with a strange expression, recalling what he had just seen, his mind was in chaos, constantly repeating in his mouth. "They..... They...."

Just then, Li Huowang suddenly heard some sound coming from the courtyard beside him, he directly entered invisibility again, climbed over a wall nearby, and once again pried open a paper window with his hand.

Soon, Li Huowang saw a thin man inside the room, half his buttocks sitting on the bed edge, tilting his head back to pull open his clothes, like a dissected bat, exposing himself nakedly to the woman before him.

The man's expression looked very uneasy, as if awaiting some final judgment. "Wife... Wife, how is it, did it get smaller a bit?"

The woman carefully distinguished for a moment, her voice carrying uncertainty, hesitantly saying, "Master, I feel..... it probably didn't get smaller."

Who knew upon hearing this, the man instantly exploded like a cauldron, his voice becoming agitated immediately, "Lying!! I measured it, finished finished, tying it with rope doesn't work! I'm going to become a eunuch!"

Hearing her husband say this, the woman also couldn't help but feel panicked, "Then.... Then what do we do? Even tied with rope it doesn't work?"

The desperate man hearing this, instantly pounced on his wife on the ground like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, his facial expression shifting from despair to grief and anger.

"Blast it! No! I don't have a son yet! You must give birth to a son right now!"

Understanding what they were doing, and associating it with the boy bound to the pillar earlier, Li Huowang stood up again with a strange expression.

"So everyone in this Pi County is afraid........ No wonder they used chains to pull hard before, but how is this possible?"

Suddenly, he felt a chill run through his body, "Wait, this..... is it true or false?"

"Ah! Master! You hurt me, it's locked tight!" The woman's cry of pain made Li Huowang look into the room again.

The two masses of entangled pale flesh and blood were nothing worth looking at, Li Huowang noticed the chain at the edge of the woman's chest.

Compared to the previous silver chain, this family could only use iron ones.

That sharp chain, tightly wrapped around her chest, forcibly pulling her front chest, where the skin contacted the metal, had already been rubbed until bleeding.

And the chain, corroded by blood, had also rusted, this thing could truly be called torture without exaggeration.

Seeing this scene, Li Huowang finally knew where the smell of blood and rust on that woman came from before, to avoid their body organs retracting inside, they all used locks to secure them.

"Master, don't panic, look, I've locked it with a chain, it won't shrink inward, you might as well tie yourself with a chain like me."

"Men are pulling, women are pulling, what exactly happened to them to become like this?" Li Huowang's heart began to grow heavy, this bizarre transformation was unseen even by someone experienced like him.

Although now knowing what the people of Pi County were afraid of, however Li Huowang was still like a fly without a head, not knowing what exactly caused it.

Other matters, he could solve, but without any reason, he couldn't even find a target.

Li Huowang stood on the roof, glanced around the cold and quiet Pi County, pushed off the tiles underfoot, and rushed directly towards the inn.

"Cannot dally anymore, heaven knows how this was caused, must find the cause as soon as possible!!"

Now the entire Pi County, in Li Huowang's eyes, was full of traps everywhere, even using some unconventional means was better than continuing to sit and wait for death.

Clearly these people of Pi County know something, yet they deliberately do not inform him, since soft methods don't work, then only hard methods remain.

When Li Huowang just walked into the inn, he saw the Lu Family Troupe taking advantage of the inn's deserted hall, starting to sing bawdy plays.

Although there weren't many people, at least there were still some watching.

Gouwa, legs crossed hugging a pear-faced woman watching the bawdy play, seeing Li Huowang come, waved his hand to call over here. "Senior Brother Li come quickly, the Lu Family Troupe's play has become much more interesting!"

Li Huowang glanced sideways, turned his head towards his guest room, a hint of coldness entering his voice. "Gouwa, send the waiter to my room for a moment."

"Hey! Right away!"
