The one who were victims were sympathetic and merciful but the accomplices who came with the woman were not, they all knew that if this woman did not die then they will have to offer their children one after another, even if Tan Mo’s daughter was next, she had given grains to Village head Chou and the woman would not target Tan Mo for a few days until the grains run out but the same could not be said for them!

Without paying the survival taxes their kids will be definitely attacked by Yang Jie and Qi Qing which was why when the women saw that the unconscious woman was still breathing, they did not hesitate and went to pick up a large boulder which was lying on the side of the road and then with a push and pull, they pulled it out and then raised it over their heads and dumped it on the head of the unconscious woman.

With a sickening crunch, the woman’s head was turned into a meat patty, though the women in the group were not at all nauseated at the sight of the crushed head of the corpse with the brains of the woman who was now dead splattered all over the place, Xiao Yu was shocked beyond her beliefs, she covered her mouth and became furiously sick as she hurled nothing but yellow bile on the ground next to her.

Tan Mo who was older than Xiao Yu was in a better situation but she too was sickened to her core when she saw how the women in her village picked up even the pieces of the splattered brain in their bags and then placed the corpse of the woman in the same bag before setting off.

‘ We can’t stay in this village anymore.’ Tan Mo thought in her head gravely, she knew that she will be considered unfilial for leaving the lands of her ancestors behind without taking care of them but she would rather leave than stay behind and get her hands dirty like these women who no longer cared about anything and anyone.

She looked at Xiao Yu who was still vomiting and exchanged a heavy glance with her, seeing the glance with which Tan Mo was looking at her, Xiao Yu knew that her sister-in-law had made up her mind. In fact, she was of the same thought process as well, she knew just how much stress Hu Pan was at the moment.

After waiting for so long, he finally gave birth to a daughter and a mer together, and the two of them haven’t even celebrated the first birthday of their twins when the clouds of death started to lurk over their children. She knew that Hu Pan was a kind mer, he despite being not able to give birth to a child never went against her other husbands and even took care of their children like they were his own but under this tense atmosphere, Hu Pan was slowly changing —— for the sake of saving his children today, he sold of the Big River Village.

She understood what Hu Pan was going through but she did not agree with his actions. She did not wish to push others in a pit just for the sake of saving their lives which was why for the sake of saving her family’s lives and Hu Pan’s heart, she had to let go of everything that she had with her!

Lands, money, house, as long as she was willing to work hard, she will buy it all back but in case Hu Pan lost the light which he had in his heart there was no turning back because once a living being turned evil, there was no medicine for regret!

….

The two women returned with the group while adamantly refusing that they will not be touching the corpse of the woman much less bringing her bleeding limbs back to the village. The ones who were holding the torn corpse of the woman rolled their eyes and told Tan Mo and Xiao Yu that they will not be sharing the meat with them if they did not help them, they even went ahead and told the two of them for acting chaste like a little virgin.

” What are you two pretending for? I am sure that you will soon be gobbling the human meat along with us,” Yang Jie sneered at Tan Mo before spitting at her face.

” If you don’t want to share then don’t share but I am not going to lose the one last thing that I have left in me! I am still a human and I refuse to become a beast!” Tan Mo was angered when she was humiliated by Yang Jie who was no longer human but a beast without a shred of humanity left in her.

” What did you say!” Yang Jie was furious like a cat whose tail had been stepped on when she heard the words of Tan Mo, she wished to swing her hands on Tan Mo but was stopped by Qi Qing,

” Why are you bothering with them? If they want to die, then let them die of starvation! See how they will fall off their high horse when they find nothing to eat!”

Only then did Yang Jie stop but she still glared at Tan Mo and swore in her head that when she gets her hands on Tan Yi, she will chop that girl in front of Tan Mo and watch this woman shed tears of blood. She was nothing yet she acted like she was better than her, as if! nov𝐄𝐥𝔲𝓈𝐁

Yang Jie harrumphed before turning around and leaving with the rest of the women, she too had some wits left in her head. She knew that if she was caught bringing a corpse with her then she will be executed on the spot by the Yamen officers! Which was why she did not waste her time on Tan Mo and Xiao Yu!
