Chapter 73 - You Were Wrong

The woman looked a little terrifying at this moment. There seemed to be a force on her that shocked Wei Shilai and the others.

Liu Sanniang sighed softly and said, “You’re wrong.”

Liu Sanniang looked up at the black aura that was enveloping River Village. When she looked at the woman again, she could not help but show pity. “You were wrong from the beginning.”

One wrong move and everything would go wrong.

It was wrong to allow her husband to kill her daughters, and it was even worse to let her husband get away with the killing. Now, it was terribly wrong to want to revive her daughters.

Liu Sanniang said to Wei Shilai, “Sir, many people in River Village might have killed their children. They have committed a grave sin and caused a vicious karma.”

Wei Shilai calmed himself down before replying. “Miss Liu, I already know what to do.”

However, Wei Shilai felt a headache coming on. The case was so big that it would definitely alarm the higher-ups.

However, when he thought of the young children being murdered mercilessly, Wei Shilai was determined to find justice for them. He had to put an end to such a thing.

Even if it would cause a huge commotion after he reported the case to the imperial court, his conscience told him that he had to do it.

No one had the right to kill a newborn.

Abandonment and abuse were both crimes, let along murder. Just because they were her children didn’t mean she could do whatever she wanted with thm.

The child in the cradle smiled at Liu Sanniang and held her hand tightly. Liu Sanniang’s eyes softened. “Good girl.”

Liu Sanniang closed her eyes and chanted softly.

These scriptures seemed to be engraved on her consciousness. She only needed to open her mouth and they would flow out naturally.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Coming out of Liu Sanniang’s mouth, the scriptures seemed to have enormous power.

The child giggled, then slowly closed her eyes.

Wei Shilai and the others did not see that the other six girls were also there. They knelt beside Liu Sanniang with smiles and relieved expressions.

Wei Shilai and the others could not see the girls, and neither could the woman. She seemed to have gone crazy and pounced on Liu Sanniang, trying to push her away. However, before she could even touch Liu Sanniang, she was grabbed by Lin Zheng. The woman knelt on the ground. “No, don’t leave me, my dear daughters. I’m wrong, don’t leave me. I already know my mistake.”

However, no matter how hard she tried, she could no longer hear anything.

The woman’s spiritual power summoned them again, but in fact, they were no longer willing to stay here.

Liu Sanniang had Buddhist light on her body. Others could not see it, but the dead girls could see it. They moved close to Liu Sanniang and hoped to be saved by her.

They yearned to be pacified by Liu Sanniang.

After Liu Sanniang finished chanting the scriptures, the sun, which was covered by dark clouds, came out. The sunlight shone on her and lingered around her. She was like a Buddha who had entered the world, saving everyone from pain and poverty.

Wei Shilai opened his mouth. He thought that he was hallucinating, but when he saw that Officer Zhou and Lin Zheng who were equally stunned, he knew that it was not an illusion.

“They’re gone. They’re all gone.”

The woman murmured.

Liu Sanniang stood up. The woman ran to the side of the cradle and saw that the fair and cute child had already closed her eyes and was no longer breathing. Her bruised face was actually rotting bit by bit.

There was a stench, but the woman didn’t seem to smell it. She took the child out of the cradle. “Don’t go. Don’t leave Mother. Come back.”

The woman burst into tears. She already knew that she was in the wrong. Why did the heavens still have to be so cruel and make her lose her daughter again?

The woman looked at Liu Sanniang angrily, wanting to cut her into pieces. “It’s you. Why did you do this? Why did you take my daughter away?”

Liu Sanniang said slowly, “Because they are already dead and don’t belong here.”

They didn’t belong here in the first place. It was the woman’s spiritual power that called them back and forced them to stay, but they didn’t belong here in the first place. If they were forced to stay, what would happen?

If they stayed, thousands of lives would be taken away. Liu Sanniang naturally could not allow that to happen.

The woman looked at Liu Sanniang viciously and held her chest. “Do you know you just took my heart out of my body? I hate you. I curse you to die a horrible death.”

Seeing that the woman was so unreasonable, Officer Zhou couldn’t stand it anymore and said to the woman, “Miss Liu only did what has to be done. What about you? You watched your daughters getting killed by your husband but didn’t do anything. How dare you curse Miss Liu? No one took your heart. You did it yourself. I don’t think you deserve pity at all. You’re hateful. You never think that you’re at fault. You believe it’s all someone else’s fault. Actually, you’re the most hateful person.”

“Why did your husband keep smothering your daughters? It’s because you allowed him. You didn’t even love them yourself. How could you expect him to love them? Damn, it’s so infuriating.”

Officer Zhou pointed at the woman indignantly.

However, the woman did not seem to hear what he said. She hugged the rotten and stenchy dead child and looked at Liu Sanniang viciously.

Wei Shilai frowned and ordered. “Take her away.”

Lin Zheng quickly escorted the woman out. The woman did not resist and followed him with the child in her arms.

The commotion in Niu Laoda’s house naturally attracted the neighbors.

When the door opened, many villagers outside were sticking their heads into the courtyard to see what was going on.

But they were instantly greeted by a horrendous stench.

The stench made many villagers turn around and retch.

“Officer, what happened? Why is it so smelly?”

“Did Niu Laoda’s wife really kill him?”

“I heard that there are a lot of handprints on Niu Laoda’s dead body. How did this woman manage to do that?”

“Officer, what’s so smelly…”

Wei Shilai’s face darkened as he shouted. “Move aside.”

After leaving River Village, Wei Shilai wanted to return to the town as soon as possible. He had to come to arrest all the criminals the next morning.

Liu Sanniang stood on the bridge for a while before she left with Wei Shilai.

On their way back, Wei Shilai couldn’t help but ask. “Miss Liu, what were you doing just now?”

Liu Sanniang smiled. “Saving people.”
