Chapter 463: I can’t…I just can’t
Yu Dong brought Xiao Hua home, by the time she stepped out of the house she brought for mers, the news that Xiao Hua was being stalked by a killer had already spread all over the village, after all, there were no big secrets in such a small village what was more many people have seen the villagers from the neighbouring village taking the dead body of the mer with them.
With such a piece of 'grand' evidence, how can they not know anything about what happened in the village? The news that Xiao Hua was being targeted by a ruthless woman spread all over the village and no sooner than the new village head left fuming, the villagers all gathered around the house of the mers and stared at the happenings in the courtyard.
Earlier they all thought that maybe they were thinking too much but when they saw that Yu Dong really came out with Xiao Hua on her back, they realised that they weren't thinking too much. There was really a killer roaming amongst them!
This was scary enough to make a few of the women's legs tremble they all turned to look at each other and immediately started gossiping.
" This...I knew something like this will happen sooner or later when I heard that Yu Dong brought that mer to the village, haven't you seen how popular Xiao Hua used to be when he was in the tavern?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt" Beauty is a calamity," said another woman while smoking a pipe in her hand. " His face is said to be so beautiful that it can cause calamity in three countries, what do you expect from such a face? It was bound to invite trouble sooner or later."
Hearing her words, a few women were dissatisfied and said, "It's all Yu Dong's fault, why did she have to bring that calamity to our village? Look at what kind of trouble it invited to our village?"
"That's right, the last time many women and the previous head wanted to stop her but she scared them, now see what happened, she has invited such a big trouble… a killer in our village."
" I mean what will happen to our mers?"
" They would have been targeted even without Xiao Hua coming to our villagers," one woman among the crowd stared at the rest in dissatisfaction and spoke up. " Maybe you didn't hear the news completely … last night the entrance was blocked by a bunch of women who were having a drinking party and they saw no one coming to the village till six in the morning, yet the body was found on the threshold of the mers' house, do you not understand what it means?"
When neither of the
women said anything, the woman with curly hair that looked like a flipped bowl of noodles smiled eerily and said, " It means that the murderer is someone from our village. Understand? If the target wasn't Xiao Hua then it would have been someone else, and it is not like this is happening for the first time in the village, is it?"
" Li Li, what the hell are you talking about?" The woman called Zhou Cao with the pipe in her hand was stunned upon hearing Li Li mention that incident. "You know that incident is taboo!"
Li Li only smiled mockingly as she picked up the bucket on the ground and said, " Easy for you to say, you weren't the one who lost their precious family members."
Then with the empty buckets, she walked away leaving a bunch of stupefied women.
" Damn what's the matter with her now?" Zhou Cao smashed her pipe on the ground and spat in the direction in which Li Li was heading. " She really has lost her mind hasn't she?"
" I think if the murderer is from our village then she is the number one suspect," sneered another woman as she rolled her eyes. " Who here doesn't know that she killed her husband after she went crazy? Acting all high and mighty when she is a murderer herself, Pei!"
" Shh, what are you saying?" Another woman pulled the sneering woman back and scolded her. " Have you forgotten what she did to the woman who called her murderer last time?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon receiving the reminder from her friend, the sneering woman's face turned pale and she immediately slapped her mouth. " Dear me, I must have turned silly from the shock, to say such thing … that Li Li is even more crazy than Yu Dong."
The women weren't the only ones who were startled by the noise that was going on in the village, the mers were also very startled. After they heard that there was a perverted murderer roaming in the village, they immediately hid inside their house but there were some who were bold enough to go and pester Yu Dong.
" I know that you are scared but I can't take you all to my house," though her house and the house of mers weren't at a large distance, the mers of the villagers were even faster than she expected them to. They came rushing like a swarm of bees and surrounded her like she was a drop of sweet honey on the ground.
She listened to what they had to say and understood that they were all worried about the same thing.
The perverted killer and wanted her to protect them. &nbs

" But Miss Yu! We are really scared!" One of the bold ones stepped forward and tried to get close to Yu Dong with his hands clasped in front. " I heard that the killer actually cut off that mer's tongue, how can we not worry?"
" Really? That's awful." Another mer gushed as he placed his hands on his mouth. He turned to look at Yu Dong with teary eyes and twisted his waist slightly so that Yu Dong will be able to see his tiny, willow-like waist.
Yu Dong: "….." did they take her for some sort of stamina goddess? She already had four husbands and the fifth one was on his way to becoming one. Why were they trying to score her? She didn't have the capacity anymore!
