Su Sijin looked at Lu Changgong with empty doubts, as if questioning why he stopped her from saving people.
Lu Changgong put his arms around her shoulders and told Su Sijin firmly, "Ajin, Qiuju is dead, dead."
Su Sijin murmured, "How could she be dead? We clearly heard her breathing faintly, how could she be dead?"
"She was indeed dead, and she might have died the moment we approached."
"But Jin, look carefully at her expression. Is she smiling? She must have left after seeing us... She must have left in peace."
Su Sijin turned her eyes away quietly. She remembered Lu Qiuju, who always smiled sweetly at everyone she met and called people obediently. Although she didn't have much contact with her, she still remembered that clean and sweet smile.
If that day...she...would she...would she not have ended up in such a miserable situation now?
Lu Changgong's eyes were on Su Sijin's face from beginning to end. How could he not see her self-blame and her regret?
He hugged her and comforted her, "What happened to Qiuju is not your fault. There are so many disasters and tragedies in the world. How can you help?"
"Don't blame yourself. This isn't your fault. It's the fault of her greedy and selfish mother and her cowardly and weak father. Ah Jin, it's not your fault."
Su Sijin buried her head in his chest and muttered, "Take her back! I don't want her to be buried here."
Lu Changgong naturally agreed unconditionally.
After a while, Su Sijin cheered up, her eyes gathering a hurricane-like storm. She said coldly: "Someone should pay the price for their cowardice and stupidity."

Rest area.
Lu Mao stumbled back, opening and closing his mouth several times, and finally he grabbed his head and shrank into the corner.
When Mrs. Lu saw him coming back empty-handed, she immediately flew into a rage and kept hitting him with her cane.
While greeting him, he ordered him to cut mugwort.
Lu Mao, who had always been afraid of the old lady, changed his usual behavior and held his head, allowing the old woman to curse and beat him, and remained unmoved.
The old lady was tired of beating him and threatened to remove him from the family tree, but he remained unmoved.
The old lady was so angry that she almost fell over.
Lu Changgong and Su Sijin came back covered in blood, and Zheng Jie was so scared that she almost collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, Shen Tingyun was quick to hold her back.
Zheng Jie quickly came up to the two of them, her lips trembling as she looked at them helplessly, "Are you injured? Where are you injured?"
Lu Changgong shook his head and said comfortingly: "Mother, we are fine. It was someone else's blood."
Su Sijin looked around the crowd with a cold face, but didn't see Lu Mao. She shouted, "Where's Lu Mao? Where is Lu Mao? Is Lu Mao, the coward, back?"
Everyone was confused. Could it be that Lu Mao was the one who made them so miserable?
But...how could it be possible? How could that silent wimp have the ability to cause Lu Changgong and Su Sijin to suffer? No matter how I thought about it, it didn't make sense.
But, if it really has nothing to do with her, why would Su Sijin look for Lu Mao?
Someone with sharp eyes recognized Lu Qiuju and said in disbelief, covering his mouth:
"Oh my God! Isn't this Qiuju? Wasn't she sold out by Qin Qing? This isn't even human, this is a bloody person!"
It was the two words "Qiu Ju" that woke up the dazed Lu Mao. He was seen shouting in panic while pushing through the crowd.
"Sister Ju, my sister Ju is back? Where is she?"
When he saw the bloody man in Lu Changgong's hand, he ran over in horror. Just when he was about to touch Lu Qiuju, Su Sijin threw him over her shoulder and threw him out heavily.
Su Sijin's sudden attack scared everyone.
"Ah...what's going on?"
"Why do you hit everyone you see?"
Su Sijin could not hear all the noise around her. She had a gloomy face and kept hitting Lu Mao, picking him up and throwing him down again, repeating this over and over again.
It was like an eagle carrying a chick. As a man, Lu Mao had no room to resist.
Su Sijin tirelessly beat Lu Mao, but the depressed mood in her heart did not dissipate. Instead, she beat Lu Mao more and more, and her movements of beating Lu Mao became more intense.
Lu Mao was nearly dead after the fall, but Su Sijin was still not satisfied and broke his right hand. The sudden piercing pain made Lu Mao scream in shock.
"Hurt? This little bit hurts? Do you know what kind of torture your daughter has suffered? Do you know? Ah?"
Su Sijin questioned him again and again, squeezing his broken hand harder. "Your daughter's throat was slit by the 'monster' and she bled to death. Her throat was slit alive, and she bled to death bit by bit."
"What?" Upon hearing the news, everyone gasped and stared at Su Sijin in disbelief.
However, Lu Mao, who was being abused by Su Sijin, suddenly had dilated pupils, as if he had heard some shocking news.
Su Sijin pinched him, and her cold breath hit Lu Mao directly. "That's the weirdo you saw. If you weren't so afraid of death, if you weren't so cowardly, would Lu Qiuju have ended up in such a miserable state?"
"So, you killed her. You are her murderer."
Lu Mao shook his head in horror, and denied it repeatedly in fear, "It's not me, it's not me."
At this moment, Lu Mao was still quibbling. Su Sijin could no longer bear it and directly grabbed his neck, saying coldly: "It's not you? Since you discovered the 'man-eating monster', why did you choose to desert?"
"Do you know that if you hadn't deserted, Lu Qiuju might not have died? It was your incompetence, your cowardice, and your stupidity that led to Lu Qiuju's tragic end.
"She's still a child. She's your child. As a parent, isn't it your innate responsibility to protect your child?"
Su Sijin is trapped in the miserable childhood of her previous life. She was abandoned by her biological parents and wandered the streets. When she was hungry, she would rummage through trash cans. She used the ground as her bed and the sky as her blanket for three years.
During those three dark, desperate and helpless years, she was trapped in nightmares every midnight.
Therefore, she hated people who abandoned their children and people who beat and scolded their children the most.
"Not only did you desert, but after returning you refused to tell anyone about the danger we faced. What's the difference between you and those man-eating monsters? Lu Qiuju, you're the one who killed him."
Su Sijin's crazy behavior made Lu Changgong suddenly panic. The expression on her face was a resoluteness he had never seen before.
Her empty and desperate eyes made him feel even more terrified, as if... Su Sijin seemed to have gone crazy.
He felt that Su Sijin had been pulled out of her body, and her consciousness was trapped in a vortex, unable to get out or in.
Lu Changgong made a prompt decision to carry Su Sijin away from Lu Mao, and disappeared into the crowd in a leap.
Lu Mao was lucky enough to save his life. He desperately crawled towards Lu Qiuju, but he couldn't get over her even though she was within reach.
Lu Changji picked up Lu Qiuju. The sinister young man's face was full of gloom at this moment. "Let her be buried cleanly and decently. Don't disturb her anymore. I believe she doesn't want to do that."
From then on, everyone looked at him with eyes that were like a lingchi sword hanging over his head.
