Folks! Who understands this feeling?! When she was born, her father was missing. When she was two, her mother disappeared. When she was four, her older brother fell into the river and drowned... Wa...
“That’s right! Little dumpling is right! This man was lying!”
Yao Ling's voice suddenly rang out.
She walked in from outside, carrying a large bundle on her back and looking travel-worn.
"And who are you! What gives you the right to say my brother Yong is lying!" Su Momo stared at Yao Ling, the uninvited guest, with a face full of resentment.
Yao Ling ignored her, not even giving her a glance.
She walked up to the crowd and put the bundle on her back on the ground. "Zhen Shaoqing sent me to search the cave where the Bloodthirsty Demon Child was hiding. These are the things I found."
After speaking, Yao Ling unfolded the bundle.
A foul stench hit us.
The crowd gathered around, covering their noses, and gasped in shock when they saw what was inside the bundle.
Qingxi and Mu Jinnian were even more afraid that the little girl would be scared, so they held her tightly.
Inside the bundle was a skeletonized corpse, along with the carcasses of some animals.
The coroner from the Dali Temple quickly stepped forward and, after examining the body, told everyone, "This is a female corpse, who has been dead for about a year. As for the animal corpses, they all died from being bitten and sucking blood; some have been dead for half a year, while others have been dead for only a few days."
After listening to the coroner's analysis, everyone roughly knew that the animals were bitten to death by the bloodthirsty demon child, but what about the female corpse?
Was he also bitten to death by the bloodthirsty demon child?
The coroner examined the female corpse carefully again. "There are marks on the skull of this female corpse that indicate that she was injured by a blunt instrument. It is estimated that she was attacked on the head before she died."
After the coroner finished speaking, Wang Yong, whether from shock or something else, suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Seeing the guilty look on his face, Zhen Shaoqing immediately guessed what was going on. "Is this female corpse related to you?"
Wang Yong stared blankly at Zhen Shaoqing, then hurriedly shook his head, "No! It has nothing to do with me! I don't know her!"
Yao Ling kicked Wang Yong in the shoulder, "You dare say you don't know him?!"
She took out a jade pendant from her waist and held it in front of Wang Yong. "This is what I found on the female corpse. Wang Yong, you should know me, right?"
Wang Yong shook his head desperately, pushing himself back with his hands on the ground, and cried out in despair, "No! I don't know him! I really don't know him at all, please, let me go!"
Yao Ling kicked her again, "This is my mother's third sister, my aunt, your wife, Wei Wenxiu! A year ago, you said she disappeared without a trace! I searched for her for so long, but now I find her only as a skeleton!"
"Ah!!" Wang Yong screamed, his eyes filled with anger and madness as he looked at Yao Ling. "Screw you! This person is already dead, why do you still have to dig so deep! Are you trying to force me, are you trying to force me!"
Wang Yong scrambled to his feet and ran frantically toward Yao Ling, grabbing her neck with both hands.
"Yao Ling! Watch out!" Mu Jinnian shouted immediately, swinging his sword.
Wang Yong's right arm was cut off, and blood splattered onto Su Momo's face.
Su Momo trembled, not even bothering to wipe the blood from her face, and asked Wang Yong in shock, "Wang Yong! What exactly happened! Didn't you tell me that Wei Wenxiu disappeared after divorcing you? How did she turn into a skeleton?"
Wang Yong clutched the wound on his severed arm and roared, "You damn woman, can't you see I've lost my arm?! And you're still asking questions? Get the imperial physician here to take a look at me!"
Wang Yong's tone was fierce, completely lacking the gentleness he used to show Su Momo.
Yao Ling stretched out her long arm, grabbed Wang Yong's neck with one hand, and took Mu Jinnian's sword with the other.
"If you don't tell me the cause of my aunt's death today, I'll cut off your other arm!"
