Chapter 139: Unable to Rest in Peace

“Ah Tai, go and get someone.”

When Ah Tai heard this sentence in a trance, he did not care where that voice came from. All he knew was that this voice gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

He threw his wooden shovel aside and dashed out.

“Help! My mother is dead!”

He yelled as he ran.

The rain was much lighter now, so his voice could be heard clearly by the nearby families.

A few people walked out and stopped him to inquire about what happened.

He wept and shook his head. “I don’t know. I was in the kitchen. When I heard the noise and came out, my mother was already dead.”

Actually, he was not close to his mother.

Ever since his father’s death, his mother’s attitude towards him had changed.

After a while, she brought an unfamiliar man home.

The man usually refused to let him eat. He even kicked or hit him. However, his mother would only watch coldly from the side. She had never spoken up to stop him.

He would even curse them secretly at night, hoping the man would die quickly.

However, after so many years, the man was still well and alive. Moreover, he was abusing him even more severely every day.

“Your mother died?”

Everyone was surprised. “Good child, bring me over to take a look.”

An old man patted his head and said.

Ah Tai nodded and hurried to lead the way.

Ignoring the umbrella, everyone jogged after them.

After all, it was not a small matter for someone to die in the village.

When everyone entered, they were shocked by the scene before them.

The man held a sharp tile and kept stabbing it into the woman.

The woman was already unrecognizable. Only her eyes were still open, and she died with grievances.

“Vomit—”

A woman could not help but throw up.

The old man who spoke previously hurriedly covered Ah Tai’s eyes and even softly persuaded him to turn his back.

When the two men from the village regained their senses, they hurried forward to pin him to the ground.

“B*tch! B*tch! I’ll kill you! Kill you!”

The man’s hair was disheveled, and his bloodshot eyes stared at the woman frantically, as if he wanted to chop her into pieces.

Soon, the villagers who heard the commotion rushed over.

When they saw the woman’s face, they felt that she was a little scary.

Da Niu watched from the side and glanced at Ah Tai, who was not far away. His eyes reddened and two streams of blood tears flowed down his tanned face.

He stayed with Ah Tai for a while before leaving.

The next day, the woman was buried with the help of the villagers.

As for the man, he was sent to the death prison for murder and was quickly executed.

Of course, these were all said after the matter was done.

After Da Niu returned from the village, he went straight to the teahouse. Lu Zhou brought him away.

After bidding Lu Zhou farewell, Lu Sheng and the rest returned to South City.

After that, the group parted ways in South City.

Before returning to the village, Lu Sheng specially went to take a look at the shop. She realized that the renovation was almost done. The stove was also installed, but it was still wet.

It seemed like it was just completed today.

However, the ground was very clean. It seemed like it had been specially cleaned.

Lu Sheng was very satisfied. Indeed, when it came to getting her master’s help, not only was he reliable, but he was also very efficient.

After checking the shop, Lu Sheng rode out of town.

Not long after she left, Shangguan Linger suddenly walked out from the opposite side. She stared coldly in the direction where she left and did not speak for a long time.

“Sister Linger, if you’re willing to follow me, I can get rid of her for you.”

Chu Silin appeared out of nowhere and smiled evilly at Shangguan Linger.
