The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2267

After dinner, we brought Munchkin along as we shuttled through the primeval streets.

Most of the people here today were tourists, and it was really hard to tell who was a local. Theo pointed toward the inner area. "Let's look inside."

"Alright."

We walked along the alley, and the noise outside gradually diminished.

There were many houses with their lights lit when we looked around.

There must be people living here.

After walking forward another ten meters, we finally saw an old woman sitting in front of one of the houses. She was sitting in the yard, looking at the sky.

We saw more stars here in this place with clean air than in big cities.

The old lady saw us walk up to her and smiled brightly. "Oh, where did you three come from? You're all beautiful people. Your child is also cute."

The old lady obviously liked children. I looked down at Munchkin and motioned for him to greet her. Munchkin was also very polite. "Hello, Madam. Good evening."

"Good evening." The old lady smiled abruptly, and her crow's feet intensified. "What a polite boy. You all came here for a vacation yes? Why are you all the way here? It's more fun outside."

I approached the old lady and crouched down beside her. "I heard the story about the Lover's Yard Bridge from a waiter when I was in a restaurant just now. I thought it was really interesting, but the waiter looked young and wasn't able to tell me the full story. Do you know about it?"

"Oh, you're talking about the Lover's Yard Bridge." The old lady abruptly laughed when she heard what I said. She laughed heartily and finally nodded. "Of course, I do. I was only in my 30s back then."

Since the old lady knew about the bridge's past, the stories were likely true.

There were a few small stools beside her, so I picked up one and sat down. "Would you be able to tell us about it?"

"Of course."

The old lady readily agreed. Her thoughts seemed to pull away as she started slowly, "Come to think about it, it was more than 30 years ago when a couple suddenly came to us one day. The handsome man and the beautiful woman were so eye-catching that news about them spread quickly through the village, especially after they built the bridge. They became even more popular. It was the big shots of the village that suggested naming this bridge after them. They transformed our place into a primeval town, which attracted a lot of tourists from

outside. It boosted our economy and

made our lives better.

"The man had a business-oriented mind, so he was either very talented, had been studying this as his major, or it was because he had gotten closer to Millicent and thus influenced." "They sound wonderful. It takes not only thought but money to transform this place. It must not have been easy for them." I could not help but say.

"Yeah, it wasn't easy. Everything was

done bit by bit. We didn't have the

money back then, and it was the couple who thought of a way to raise money from outsiders.

Everyone in our village was willing to cooperate. Just like that, this place was slowly built."

"What happened to them, then?"

Yel

The old lady suddenly sighed, and regret laced her tone, "The woman's parents rushed over after hearing the news and took the woman away. It turned out the couple did not receive their parents' blessings."

"And the man?"

"Of course, he chased after them, but I never saw them here after that. I don't know what happened to them." The old lady shook her head. This village was just a place they lived in.

"Madam, do you remember their names?"

"Their names..." The old lady frowned as if she was struggling to recall. "Their names... It's been too long. I really can't remember them."
