Chapter 17
Suddenly, a sound came from the bed . Mu Yunyao turned her head and saw Li Shi staring wide at her, her eyes filled with fear, as if she had seen a ghost . “You…you killed…him……”
“Yes, I killed him . So, Grandma, scream . Scream for all the villagers to come here . ”
“No, I will not say anything, don’t kill me, don’t kill me!”
“You are my Grandmother, your blood runs in my veins, of course I won’t kill you . So, scream, get everyone to come here . ”
“No, I……” Li Shi was already scared out of her wits, she did not dare make a sound .
Mu Yunyao frowned, she spun the dagger in her hand and held it against Li Shi’s neck . “Scream!”
“AHH! THERE’S A MURDERER!! SOMEONE’S BEEN KILLED!!”
The sudden yelling woke up the entire village .
Li Shi’s desperate screaming used up all her strength . After a while, someone knocked on the door . Her eyes lit up, this time, Mu Yunyao’s dead!
During these past two days, her view on Mu Yunyao had been completely changed . This cowardly little wrench seemed to have been possessed by an evil ghost . Those obsidian eyes were able to turn anyone into ice .
But, she did not have to worry anymore . She had killed someone, she will definitely not get away from this!
When she thought of this, Li Shi felt the pain in her leg disappear . Her heart was filled with joy as she secretly glanced at Mu Yunyao .
Mu Yunyao looked to the door, her grip on the dagger tightened . When she found the right angle, she slashed her own arm! Then, she unhurriedly walked towards Zhang Yongan’s side and wiped some blood onto his hand . Then, she placed the bloodied dagger into his hand .
“You……what are you doing?” When Li Shi saw her actions, she felt the hairs on her arms rise .
Mu Yunyao walked towards her and reached out and pulled at her clothes, messing them up . “No matter what, a woman’s reputation is the most important . You called my Mother a prostitute, and so today, I will let you taste what that word exactly means!”
Under Li Shi’s horrified gaze, she hit her hard on the head with a stick!
The knocking on the door continued for a while . When no one answered, the confused villagers turned and got ready to leave . Just then, the door open and a bloodied Mu Yunyao came running out .
“Ah! Isn’t this the Mu daughter? What happened?” Yang Shi rushed up to support her .
“Auntie……mur…murder……” She was unable to finish her sentence before she fainted into Yang Shi’s arms .
The villagers hurriedly rushed through the courtyard and into the house . When they saw the scene, they were scared half to death .
“Mur……MURDER!”
“What do we do, are we supposed to report this……”
“Get the chief, quick, get the chief!”
Soon, the village chief Yang Ming arrived . When he was younger, he was part of the army . He had travelled through wastelands and climbed over piles and piles of corpses, so when he saw the scene, although he was shocked, he did not panic like everyone else . “Zhou Rui, Zhou Qi, you brothers must go and call a few more people and travel to the Yan City to report to the Magistrate . Tell him that we have a murder . ”
“Yes, we will go right away . ”
“Where is the Mu girl?”
Yang Shi was still carrying Mu Yunyao . “She’s right here . This child is completely covered in blood and her arm has a big cut . She is bleeding way too much, we need to bandage her . ”
“Where is Mu Cheng’s wife? Doesn’t she live here together with her daughter? Someone from Zhou Rui’s family, go to the east side of the house and see if there is anyone there . ”
“Ah, alright, yes . ”
The grandson of Zhou Rui’s family did not dare to move alone . He called for a few more people to accompany him and went into the east side of the house . When they saw the sleeping Su Qing, they sighed in relief . “Su Qing, Su Qing……”
Su Qing woke up with a fright . “Who??”
“Don’t be afraid, I am from the Sun’s . Hurry, go to the main house, something happened to your Mother-in-law . ”
“Wha…what? Yao Er, where’s Yao Er?” She touched the place beside her . It was cold . Su Qing panicked, she even forgot to thank the people before she rushed to the main house .
Yang Shi just so happened go be looking for someone to bandage Mu Yunyao’s arm when Su Qing leapt onto them . “Yao Er, Yao Er, what happened?”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry, Yunyao’s arm is hurt, but she is fine . Your Mother-in-law she……”
When the villagers entered the main house, they saw Li Shi’s clothes in disarray . When everyone saw her state and the two unmoving bodies on the floor, they had already started making their own assumptions .
