However, there are still people with conscience. The village chief's family, Zhang Fengxi, and Wang the blacksmith and his son Xiaolan all stood on Su Man's side.
Especially the village chief, his face turned red and his neck became thick from shouting.
"Everyone!"
"Everyone, don't get so excited. I watched Manyu grow up. She has been helping us along the way. If it weren't for her, we would have starved to death long ago."
"Think about it, if it weren't for Manya, we wouldn't have been able to seize this ship so easily. Don't be so impulsive!"
Zhang Fengxi recovered from the initial shock. Although she was a little scared, she couldn't help but speak for Su Man when she thought about how she had taken care of them along the way.
"Yeah, why do you want to destroy the bridge after crossing it? When the soldiers were there just now, why didn't you want to throw Manya into the river? Why are you so excited now?"
Zhang Fengxi's words were rough but his point was valid, so a small number of people remained silent.
Qin Mosheng suddenly started to attack, "Everyone can kill demons and monsters. Even if she didn't harm anyone before, who can guarantee that she won't do so in the future? Read the book now!"
Everyone saw how this witch used her magic just now. If we accidentally offend her on the road, won’t we end up like the soldiers? "
His words touched everyone's heart. Rather than wondering whether Su Man would hurt them, what really frightened them was the "magic" that Su Man possessed.
It's like you have a button that will destroy the world when pressed. Even if you assure everyone that you won't press it, there will still be countless people who want to get rid of you.
Because the ability to destroy everything with just a flick of your hands is too terrifying. If we don't get rid of you, everyone will live in fear.
Seeing that the crowd started to riot again, Su Man looked at Qin Mosheng who was hiding in the crowd with a cold face.
She thought Qin Mosheng had learned his lesson after everything that had happened before, but she didn't expect him to be so despicable.
Qin Mosheng felt Su Man's gaze and shrank his neck, obviously afraid that Su Man would use magic against him like she did against the officers and soldiers.
The reason why he was so against Su Man was not only because he thought Su Man was a demon and would bring danger to everyone, but also because Su Man had magical powers but did not save his mother.
Not only his mother, but also Qin Wanru.
Since she is a monster, why doesn't she use magic to resurrect Wanru?
And mother, if this evil woman had been willing to help me when I fell into the water that day, I wouldn't have died.
Yes, it’s all this witch’s fault. She is the culprit who killed my sister and mother.
She is!
For Qin Mosheng, who had been tortured by guilt to the point of being unrecognizable, there was finally someone to take the blame. He put the blame on Su Man without hesitation.
In order to avenge his mother and sister, Qin Mosheng mustered up the courage to continue inciting everyone.
"Our Liancheng territory has always been blessed with good weather and good harvests. This famine must be the wrath of heaven, seeking to capture this monster!"
"If we take her with us, we will also be punished by God!"
"Drown her and offer her to the heavens!"
In this era, people like to rely on ghosts and gods for anything, and even sacrifice young girls to pray for rain.
Just like the people of Lijia Village on the boat, since the severe drought, they have used young boys and girls to sacrifice to the Dragon King many times. Now, when they heard that Suman might be the cause of the drought, their eyes widened and they clamored to drown Suman.
The people from Lijia Village were the first group to arrive at the dock. Unlike the people from Wangjia Village and the tribesmen led by the old patriarch, who had no connection with Su Man, they did not show any mercy to her.
"Everyone, come together and throw this witch into the river as a sacrifice to the Dragon King!"
"If we don't kill her, God will punish us and we will all die!"
Under Qin Mosheng's mobilization, everyone except the village chief and his men who stood on Su Man's side picked up their weapons.
It can't be stopped.
Just when Lijia Village was about to join in, the old patriarch suddenly spoke.
"Everyone in our tribe, stop."
The patriarch is like the god in the tribe. Upon hearing this, the tribesmen put down their weapons one by one without even asking why.
Seeing them switching sides at the critical moment, the people of Lijia Village were furious. "What are you doing? Are you planning to go along with this evil woman?"
The old patriarch glanced at Su Man and said with a cold face, "Even if she is a witch, she has saved our lives."
"You! Which side are you from?!"
"I'm not on either side. We just want to cross the river. We don't care about anything else."
The old patriarch’s meaning was very clear. He would not help Lijia Village or Su Man.
Without them, the thirty or so people in Lijia Village would not be enough.
Especially since they had all seen how powerful Su Man was, they were in a dilemma.
Qin Mosheng wanted to encourage them, "Fellow villagers, I..."
"Bang"
A gunshot rang out, followed by screams.
Qin Mosheng felt a sharp pain in his thigh. He fell to the ground and shouted for help.
Those originally tough people from Lijia Village all ran away in panic, no longer having the toughness they had just now.
Just as Qin Mosheng was about to retreat, another gunshot rang out and his other leg was shot through.
"Ah! Help!"
"The banshee is killing people! Someone come quickly!"
Su Man sneered and looked around. Wherever her eyes went, everyone avoided her.
The people of Lijia Village who were huddled together were trembling with fear, and no one dared to speak.
Su Man looked at Qin Mosheng, who was curled up on the ground in pain, and sneered, "If I wanted to kill you, would you still be screaming here?"
Qin Mosheng didn't dare to speak. He held his injured legs and groaned in pain.
