His eyes, which had been numb for many years, were now filled with sorrow.
Her fate was full of hardship; she was guilty for not being able to lend a helping hand when someone was dying.
She kept her crippled body only so that she could see her elderly parents, young children, and the husband who cherished her before she died.
The four women shared a similar fate. They were all city dwellers with happy families, jobs, and no worries about food or clothing, yet they were unlucky enough to fall into the hands of a devil, simply because they had decent-looking faces.
Years of relentless torment have taken their toll; their beauty has faded, their hearts have died, and they are now living a life that is neither human nor ghost.
The woman suddenly knelt down in front of Lu Fan and Zhang Dong and kowtowed three times.
"Please help me, I want to see my child, just a glimpse from afar."
She was drugged and brought here. She was surrounded by the sea and had no idea where she was.
In a flash of inspiration, she suddenly understood that the two giant snakes must be related to these people. They must have sent the snakes to punish the wicked. That must be it.
Lu Fan and Zhang Dong were startled.
Because of the difference between men and women, they cannot help each other; they can only turn to the side.
"No, get up quickly."
The other three women's eyes also lit up, and they all knelt down and kowtowed, soon drawing blood from their foreheads.
Two of them had families, and one was a pampered young woman waiting to be married; they should have been happy.
Everything was destroyed.

These are the women who have suffered hardship.
Perhaps they've been living too well lately, and they've forgotten that in the corners they can't see, darkness has never been replaced by light.
While they ate their white rice, many others secretly swallowed their tears and resentment.
Xie Lin placed Shishi and Chou Chou by the fire to warm them.
"Shishi, it's raining and a bit cold. Keep your feet covered in your clothes and dry your shoes before wearing them."
“ChouChou, your pants are a little wet too. Sit here to dry them off, or you'll catch a cold.”
The two obediently agreed and sat quietly by the fire.
Xie Lin took out some dry food and shared it with them before approaching the four women.
He had been watching the whole way and knew exactly what the four men and the child were doing.
It doesn't matter which of these four women is the child's biological mother; the child is nothing but a disgrace to them.
"Get up, everyone. Heaven is watching what people do. The wicked have been punished by Heaven, and you are now free."
He could only pretend he knew nothing about the two snakes' actions, and consider it divine punishment for the wicked.
He glanced at the half-eaten meal: mixed grain rice with braised fish, which was actually quite good; he shouldn't waste it.
"You all need to eat your fill first. We'll take you away once we've rescued our brothers and the storm has stopped."
The four were overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.
They can finally die.
