Zhou Ziming roared as if he had lost his mind. At first the villagers did not understand what he was saying, but soon they understood the gist of his words. He was the one who was behind the sudden deaths of the villagers?
How could he? How could he do such terrible things?
Those who lost their family members were furious. Especially the husbands and children of Madam Long. Their wife/mother was so young when she died. At first, they thought that Madam Lang met with an unfortunate accident and thus ended up losing her life.
Who would have thought that she was targeted by this monster?! He actually sucked in the life force of Madam Long, causing her to die and them to become widowers at such a young age, and their children became orphans.
When they thought about this grudge, the mers were so furious that they did not think twice before rushing towards the Zhou house.
They were not going to leave Zhou Ziming that monster alone!
While the family members of those who lost their lives rushed at the Zhou house, others panicked and then stepped away from the Zhou house. They were truly worried! This Zhou Ziming was a fox demon or mountain spirit; he had to be. He actually sucked the essence of men, women, and mers alike.
How could they deal with such an entity?
“Maybe we should bring a witch?” Someone in the crowd said to the rest. “Who knows that mer might go crazy and attack us? We should be careful with this matter.”
As soon as these words came out, others nodded and agreed. The woman was right; it was simply foolish for them to jump in the fiery pit without proper protection. Thus, they all immediately turned on their feet and rushed to the small grove where the witch lived.
“Come out! Village Head Zhou! You better not hide from us!”
“That’s right, your son has killed my wife! He has to give me an explanation.”
“You kept such a demon in your house? Damn, Village Head Zhou, you are harming us; why did you keep that bastard Zhou Ziming in your home? He killed my son! I need him to pay with his life!”
“He killed my wife and son! Get him out!”
“My sister! How dare he kill my sister? Does he think that he is God? How can he decide who will live and not? My sister was sick but was she eating your food or taking your money for medicine? How dare you attack her? Zhou Ziming! Come out! I will kill you today!”
Village Head Zhou trembled. As she looked at the door that was being beaten by the villagers. She only had three words in her head —
It was over.
She turned and looked at Daddy Zhou, who was shivering with fright, and raised her hand before slapping him harshly on the cheek.
“You bastard! You have completely ruined me! What kind of beast did you give birth to?” Village Head Zhou hated Daddy Zhou as much as she liked him in the past. No wonder she suddenly started getting fond of Zhou Ziming.
That bastard, he didn’t even let go of his mother! What did she even do to Zhou Ziming for him to want her life? Even if she did not treat him well, did she not give him food to eat or clothes to wear? Compared to most mers in the village who were asked to wash clothes and cook for the family, Zhou Ziming was living a much better life at their house.
How dare he target her like this!
Village Head Zhou was furious. She couldn’t help but think that all her kindness was fed to a dog. No matter what kind of person she was, she had treated her children really well despite their gender!
“Wife!” Daddy Zhou was aggrieved. He had no idea that Zhou Ziming was actually planning something so sinister.
He felt like he was getting scolded for no reason. How could he know that Zhou Ziming was such a beast?
No one spoke up for Daddy Zhou; after all, it was good enough that they were not beating him to death. Zhou Ziming actually targeted their wife! If something happened to their wife, what would happen to them?
They hated Daddy Zhou just as much as they hated Zhou Ziming!
“Village Head Zhou!”
Village Head Zhou shivered. She turned to look at her husbands and said to them, “Go and drag that bastard out. Our small family cannot keep this beast! We will die sooner or later if we were to keep him!”
When she thought about how Zhou Ziming actually used her life force to make her like him—Village Head Zhou felt like her head was filled with water. Zhou Ziming was clearly on his way to Yamen, and soon he would have been executed. Why did she foolishly bring him back? Now this was good!
She actually brought a demon back home.
Who knows if this beast was even her son or not!?
“Wife?” Daddy Zhou was stunned, but he was pulled back by his daughter, who snapped at him, “Shut up! Do you think that we are not in enough trouble? Mother is furious, can’t you see? At this moment, you cannot even save yourself. Why are you even bothering with Zhou Ziming?”
“He is your brother; how can you be so cruel?” Daddy Zhou asked in shock.
His daughter rolled his eyes and then said to him, “I am not being cruel to him. I am just being careful and saving ourselves; do you think that after such a big fuss, Zhou Ziming will be able to survive?”
Daddy Zhou closed his mouth when he realised that what his daughter was saying made sense. Indeed, with the things that Zhou Ziming had said, there was no way he would be able to escape!
While the Zhou family were dealing with Zhou Ziming, Yu Dong and Wu Junfen snuck inside their house and stole the accounts that Village Head Zhou had hidden.
