But soon he realized he couldn't escape.
More than twenty adult men surrounded him, their dozens of angry eyes blazing with fury!
It's as if it could instantly reduce Master Kwai to ashes!
"You evil Taoist, let's see where you can run this time?" The one who spoke was a middle-aged man who was blind in one eye.
A year ago, he was wounded on the northern battlefield and returned home after being discharged from the army.
He had thought that what awaited him at home was his elderly mother's loving call and a warm bed with his wife and children.
But when he arrived home, he found a dilapidated gate covered in cobwebs, and weeds growing taller than a person in the courtyard.
The memorial tablet of his elderly mother was placed in the main room, while his wife and children had long since disappeared.
Later, a kind-hearted villager told him the whole story…
In fact, his family suffered a misfortune in the second year after he went to war.
At first, his three-year-old son suddenly developed a high fever that wouldn't go down and soon fell into a coma. They searched for doctors everywhere, but none of them could help.
Finally, his mother somehow listened to a distant relative and invited Deng Jinkui, hoping he could use his supernatural powers to save her grandson.
But when Deng Jinkui saw that there was no man in their house, he began to covet his wife.
He tricked the old woman by saying that her grandson had suffered this calamity.
It's all because his mother is cursed to bring him bad luck!
Saving the child is easy; all you need to do is get the child's mother to leave the house and sever all ties with her.
With her grandson's life hanging in the balance, the old lady couldn't care less about anything else.
He immediately hardened his heart and, in his son's name, divorced his daughter-in-law and sent her back to her parents' home.
It is already a shameful thing for a woman to be divorced by her husband's family and return to her parents' home, let alone the fact that the root cause is that she is considered to be a jinx to her husband and children.
Her brother and sister-in-law refused to accept her, leaving her to wander alone. There, she was further violated by Deng Jinkui, who had been following her. In a moment of despair, she drowned herself in the river...
His son ultimately did not survive.
The mother also hanged herself after her grandson died of illness...
The one-eyed man glared at Deng Jinkui through gritted teeth, wishing he could skin him alive.
"Deng Jinkui, today you should pay for my entire family's lives!"
Others also accused Deng Jinkui of the atrocities he had committed against them...
"And my mother... You said that if she lived past seventy, she would bring misfortune to her children and grandchildren, which caused my mother to commit suicide at the young age of sixty-nine!"
"My poor daughter was also sacrificed to the river god by the clan chief because of your wicked words..."
"Deng Jinkui, you evil Taoist priest, today you shall pay with your life!"
The crowd, armed with sticks, was closing in on him step by step. Deng Jinkui, his eyes blazing with fury, had nowhere to hide and could only kneel down and beg for mercy.
"Brave warriors, please spare me... I was merely conveying the will of Heaven..."
"Bullshit! You're about to die and you're still trying to argue!"
"Let's all work together and kill this menace!"
"No! I don't want to die! I can't die yet..."
Deng Jinkui was trembling slightly, looking somewhat delirious, and muttering incoherently, making it impossible to understand what he was saying.
Just as everyone was about to take action, someone suddenly spoke up: "If we kill him like this, won't the authorities prosecute us for murder?"
One sentence awakened this group of people who had lost their minds in anger.
Yes, he is gone, but the living should not suffer any more because of this charlatan...
For a moment, everyone's expression showed some hesitation.
Taking advantage of the situation, Deng Jinkui found the weakest point among them, pulled out a dagger from his pocket, and rushed over with all his might.
The few people standing there wanted to stop him, but they could only dodge when faced with the dagger in Deng Jinkui's hand.
"Haha! You bunch of poor devils can't do anything to me!"
Deng Jinkui laughed wildly as he ran recklessly towards the grove of trees ahead, completely oblivious to the dark clouds pressing down lower and lower above him...
Rumble—
Just when Deng Jinkui thought he was about to escape, a bolt of lightning struck him directly.
Before a scream could even escape his lips, Deng Jinkui was already chopped to a crisp.
When everyone went forward to check on him, they found that he had already died!
"Bah! This scourge has finally been punished by heaven!"
Meanwhile, Liu Yingying, Sister Zou, and others arrived and witnessed the scene that had just unfolded.
Deng Jinkui's death was undoubtedly a cause for celebration.
Taking the opportunity, Lu Daikui led the shouts: "This evil Taoist priest went against the will of Heaven and harmed the innocent, and has been punished by Heaven! This can be considered that Heaven has eyes and has given Sister Liu justice!"
"Yes! Sister Liu is such a righteous person. Not only did she risk her life to break into the bandit's den to save people, but she also led everyone to find a water source and make money. It's no exaggeration to call her a female bodhisattva! How could someone like that be a ghost who takes lives?"
"Exactly! I think it's clear someone is jealous of the money Sister Liu has made lately, so they conspired with this evil Taoist priest to harm her..."
Over there, the villagers of Taoyuan Village and the Liu family also walked over and overheard these words. They all looked very embarrassed.
Especially after they saw Deng Jinkui's horrifying death, they all felt a chill run down their spines.
In today's events, most of those involved were accomplices; they seemed to see their own fate reflected in Deng Jinkui's corpse...
But at this moment, the most nervous and anxious were Ma Qiumei, Zhang Qiaonv and her daughter, and the Liu brothers.
