With a bang, Yingchun's body fell to the ground. I wasn't even ready yet, and hadn't even settled the grudge between us with her, but she suddenly fell from the city wall. Before that, I saw bloodstains on her chest and blood gushing out. This surprised me extremely. And the last words she said before she died were blaming Hu Lingshang. Could it be that she was the one who did it?

"Ah!!" Song Bailu, who was also on the tower, was so scared that she held her head and screamed.

I was also stunned. I had thought that Yingchun must not be allowed to live. With such bad behavior, I was afraid that she must not be killed, otherwise she would become a disaster again. But it was not time to execute her immediately. When I was thinking about how to punish her, the punishment had already come ahead of time. This brought me a great psychological shock.

Seeing Song Bailu's current state, coupled with the only trigger of Song Yingchun's last words before her death, and the person who is most likely to have killed Song Yingchun, all the motives for the crime point to the nine-tailed white fox Hu Lingshang. I understand why she did this, perhaps for the safety of the fox clan, but suddenly attacking and killing people without discussing it with everyone makes people feel uncomfortable after all.

After all, Song Yingchun has been with us for more than two years. During this period, we have had arguments and quarrels, but we have also spent time under the moonlight and flowers, sharing life and death, and laughter. The feelings between them cannot be expressed simply by hatred. Maybe she still had to die in the end, but at least she did not die so hastily. The difference between them, I believe, Yunwen, Bailu and I are the only ones who can understand.

I slowly walked towards Song Yingchun. At this moment, her blood had already irrigated this evil land outside the city. It spread out from her body to form a bloody flower. Her chest was pierced by something sharp, and her face was facing the ground, so that I couldn't even see her for the last time.

That willful girl was eventually eliminated and screened out in the natural wilderness world where the fittest survive.

Yunwen also got off the horse and walked over. She couldn't help but feel a little bit unable to accept the sudden death of her old companion and kept sighing. I also remembered the last words Song Yingchun said, "Don't get too familiar with monsters." It sounded harsh, but now I seemed to be persuaded. Hu Lingshang killed people decisively without asking any questions, and his methods were cruel. Isn't he undoubtedly a man-eating monster?

My guard was aroused. After all, Hu Lingshang was just a wild animal in the mountains who had used some means to give herself a beautiful human body. But I didn't know the nature of this beast. At this moment, I also realized that I didn't know her very well.

"Oh, she's dead. It seems that you, Zhou Lang, can't settle the score. But it's good too. Now that she's dead, our fox clan will have one less threat. I no longer have to worry about her making a comeback in the future. Then I'm afraid she will be even more cruel to us. After all, this girl has a strong desire for revenge, right?" Hu Lingshang said.

The rest of us three were silent, and after a while, I said, "That's true, but Miss Lingshang, can you ask for our opinions before you kill someone? This is too barbaric. She deserves to die, but she should be given a reason to die so that she can die in a humiliated way instead of dying in such an unclear way. Besides, we will all be here soon, so how can she escape? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Hu Lingshang's pretty eyes flickered slightly, her brows knitted for a moment but it was fleeting, and she smiled again, propping up her chin with one hand charmingly, and said, "Zhou Lang, this is a big misunderstanding, the murderer may not be me."

"It's you! You killed Yingchun because her words irritated you. You couldn't stand the insults, so you killed her immediately. First, you pierced her with a sharp object, and then pushed her down. I was right next to her, how could I have seen it wrong?" Song Bailu shouted.

Hu Lingshang was not impatient and said, "May I ask, if I killed her, why didn't I kill you at the same time? After all, you are her biological sister. If I keep you alive, aren't you afraid that you will seek revenge and harm my fox clan?"

When I heard this, I immediately got angry and shouted, "Hu Lingshang, dare you touch Song Bailu again! They are my people, you don't have to deal with them. If you dare to touch her, you will make enemies with us. Do you dare?"

Hu Lingshang was anxious when she heard me say this, but then she closed her eyes and shook her head, saying, "So in your eyes, Master Zhou, I am nothing but a murderous monster, a rude, disrespectful, and shameless person. Forget it, just think that I was wrong and thought that you, Master Zhou, were very smart, but I never thought that you were just like this. Today, I will be generous and not argue with you about this, but I will make it clear that if any of you dare to come to Xiying City to cause trouble for my fox clan, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After she finished speaking, white mist floated around her body. When the mist dissipated, she had become a nine-tailed white fox, tall and long. She leaped into the air as if stepping on wind and clouds. She jumped halfway and turned her head, looked at me with a lonely look, then walked away.

After she left, there were only four people left here, and Song Yingchun was no longer breathing. It would be useless even if the three-fu days were repeated a hundred times.

At this time, Yunwen came forward, took my hand, and said, "Forget it. Song Yingchun almost killed you and me before, so we can't let her go. Even if it was done by the White Fox Fairy, she got rid of the harm for us. You don't have to be upset. Besides, although many clues point to the White Fox Fairy, we are really just seeing a phenomenon now. It is also possible that it was not done by the White Fox Fairy. What do you think?"

"I don't blame her for killing people, but the fact that she killed people so brutally scares me. If one day she thinks we should be killed too, will she be as cruel as today?" I asked.

"Yes, it will. If there is a first time, there will be a second time. Look at it holding the Yinshi Pot in its hand, and now it lives near the City of Death in Xiying City. This means that it must still be doing those evil witchcraft activities and refining corpses to prolong its life. That's why it would kill people at the first opportunity. It's so decisive. This is the result of its daily practice." Song Bailu had also come down from the city wall and said.

My mind was in a mess for a moment, with mixed feelings in my heart. I said, "Forget it, let's not worry about it for now. Song Yingchun was our former partner after all. Even if she had bad behavior, she was still a comrade who had gone through hardships with us. If we just leave her on the ground, she will surely be eaten by wild animals nearby. Even if she is dead, we should find a quilt to wrap her body and bury her decently. This is the last way to show our friendship to her."

The girls nodded. For now, this was the most practical thing we could do.

So everyone went into the castle. There was a lot of food inside. The first floor was full of all kinds of meat, placed randomly, not treated as food. The rooms on the second floor were all open. Some were converted into master bedrooms, and some were converted into places for daily sculpture work. There was also an empty room, with only the remains of a wooden man placed inside, which must have been some kind of memorial.

However, the utilization of space is the same as the utilization of food. Extravagance and waste are especially detrimental to natural resources.

The Sutra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva says: If you meet someone who indulges in hunting, he will be frightened and die.

Song Yingchun hunted and killed so many living things, and indulged in drinking and eating so much, didn't she really die of shock in the end? This is the result of the cause she planted. It is said that Hu Lingshang killed her, but in fact, if she hadn't treated people and things like this, how could she have fallen into this state? Therefore, it can be said that she deserved it.

Respecting resources in the wild means using them. Once we see them, we shouldn't let them continue to rot and be wasted. Waste is shameful, so I asked Yunwen to use bed sheets to take away the edible ones, and the inedible and rotten ones will be thrown into the jungle later, where they will be decomposed and transformed by scavengers and returned to the natural system.

Bai Lu and I found a quilt, planning to use it to wrap Yingchun's body and bury it. We also found a shovel, and when we were going to the storage room, I overheard some unusual movement, clanging in the corner, and it didn't sound like a mouse, but more like someone was hiding.

It is also possible that the hyena people hid here just now. I didn't feel like caring about it, so I went out. But when I went out, I saw Song Bailu and Yunwen looking at each other, and there was resentment towards each other in their eyes.
