Chapter 351 Dead
Yu Dong felt her head buzz as she shook her head in denial. "It's not them…there is no way its them, they will not kill themselves like this, I have treated them well, haven't I?" She turned to look at Chen Mi who already had tears in his eyes as she hurriedly raised her hand and wiped his tears. " Why are you crying? They are not dead... it's not them, there is no way, it's them Mi, you don't have to cry like this."
" Wife.. you need to take a hold of yourself," said Chen Mi as he stared at those frantic eyes that were denying everything that they were seeing. " Please, you have to be strong—-"
His words were interrupted as Yu Dong clutched his arms, she was holding him so tightly that he could feel his arms almost break. "It is not them... there is no way they will commit suicide like this!" She shouted, he could sense her confusion, anger and desperation to refuse what she was seeing as she shook her head again and again. " I have … we still have so much to do, Mi… they won't leave me like this, will they Mi?"

He so wanted to deny the reality, he too wanted to give her hope that the bodies that were hanging on the tree didn't belong to Shen Li and Ye Liu but he couldn't… he couldn't do it because the truth was right in front of him. " Wife… you have to take their bodies down, I can't… I will not be able to do it… you have to do it, you can't leave them there …hanging. Go and break the rope."
'Break what? The rope? What rope? They were not her Shen Li and Ye Liu so why will she take care of some strangers' bodies?'
Yu Dong wasn't willing to accept the truth, there was no way she was going to accept such a heartless truth.
She was in a daze when a sharp sting woke her up and she looked at Chen Mi who was crying like he has lost something precious—- why was he crying like that?
"Wake up! Yu Dong! Go and bring them down! You are their wife in life and death… so you have to be by their side, now that they are——" Chen Mi didn't finish as Yu Dong finally sobered up a little and turned to look at the tree. Now that the day was no longer young, some village women and mers were surrounding the tree but no one made an effort to take the bodies down. They all were watching the show —— like a passive onlookers.
Yu Dong gritted her teeth as she ran towards the banyan tree, her hands were trembling and she couldn't even stabilise her footing as she stumbled again and again but somehow she managed to run to the tree and pushed her way through the crowd.
" Excuse me, get out of my way."
" I need to go through… get the f*ck out."

Seeing that it was the wife of the two mers who committed suicide, the crowd parted and let Yu Dong get past, as she came to stand in front of the bodies, Yu Dong hurriedly placed her shoulders beneath the legs of her two husbands. Some women who were watching this frowned in displeasure, as a woman how can Yu Dong throw away her pride and let the feet of those mers touch her head?
Yu Dong touched the feet of her husbands without caring about the looks that she was getting from others, the skin was cold but it wasn't that cold—- she could still make it … if she tried she could still make it. " Someone please cut the rope off, I can't move from here." She was afraid that if she moved her husband would suffocate even more in fact she knew that she needed to take action and ruthlessly cut the ropes without caring about such minor things but she couldn't—— she couldn't think of even letting her husbands suffer the slightest bit of grievance, then how can she let them suffocate even more.
" Someone please, I beg you!" Her cry was filled with desperate pleas, she couldn't bring herself to cut that rope off her husbands neck because she knew that she couldn't do it, no matter how strong she was she couldn't do it.
No one moved and just when she was wondering whether she should just summon the courage to do it on her own when two voices came from her behind.
" What are you heartless people doing, can't you help her? Don't you hear her pleading? Bastards the lot of you!" Aunt Wang cursed at the crowd as she hurried past the people who were crowding the tree and took out a knife that she came rushing with before she skillfully climbed the tree and said to Lang who was breathing heavily as she stood next to Yu Dong. " Lang I will … I will cut the rope now, you hold their bodies, don't ..do..don't let them get hurt."
Her voice was thick with grief as she raised her shuddering hand and cut the rope that was tied to Shen Li's neck first. Lang accurately caught Shen Li and laid him on the ground before taking hold of Ye Liu whose rope was cut off just as quick as Shen Li came down. The touch of their cold skin burned in her skin and she blinked away the tears as she looked at Yu Dong who was standing there with her eyes filled with a deadened look that sliced through her heart.
She knew what her master was waiting for so she slowly crouched down and put a trembling finger in front of their noses one by one. And sure enough, it was as she expected neither of them was breathing, not knowing what to say and how to say it, Lang closed her eyes before she spat one word in a voice that was thick with grief. " Dead."
