Chapter 563: Identifying the corpsesThe vige head Gu was already having a headache, even though Yu Dong came to save the vigers in time, there were some who were still washed away in the flood that came out of nowhere. She was sure that the damages that the vige suffered would bring a lot of trouble for her in the future.
She was busy thinking about how she was going to salvage the situation and here the vigers were busy thinking about how they were going to skimp on work even now. Why don''t they go ahead and climb up to heaven?
" Yu Dong, you shouldn''t bother about us at the moment you are having enough trouble. Just ask your mammies to send a meal in the afternoon and leave these people alone they are all very capable they wouldn''t starve, if you care about them all, then we all will surely starve together."
Since they didn''t want to work then there was no need for them to eat either. They despised scooping the rice out of the hot earthen pot, hate washing their dirty dishes then they might as well starve!
How can these women be this cocky? Do they still think that they were living in their house? Were Yu Dong''s husbands their mers? How dare they nitpick and order them around?
" Vige head what are you saying? We are honest farmers how can we hunt animals?" One of the women couldn''t help but say.
If they stopped relying on Yu Dong then they will have to starve to death!
However, the vige head did not care about them at all. She was done listening to theirints because they all didn''t have to suffer as much as they should have, they all were acting as if they were on a pic or something.
Comining about this and that, as if they were staying in a lodge.
" Why? You all hit your husbands like you are expert hunters, use that strength to hunt animals, I bet you will be able to catch a pigeon at the very least," Vige head Gu savagely retorted causing everyone in the cave to turn silent as they looked at her in shock.
What happened to the vige head Gu? Why was she acting like this?
Vige head Gu didn''t care about the vigers, she followed Yu Dong who was taking her up the mountain, at night the dangerous animals of the mountain wille down and then it will be difficult for her and Yu Dong to navigate through everything. It would be better if she followed Yu Dong and take a look at what Yu Dong wanted to show her.
She thought that Yu Dong might be bringing her to show the bodies of the vigers who were washed away given that she looked so serious while guiding her but when the two of them climbed past the wild terrain and entered the deep mountains, the vige head Gu realised that something was wrong.
Definitely very wrong.
The scent of rotting flesh overwhelmed her senses and she gagged reflexively before turning to look at Yu Dong as she asked, " Wh...What is going on?"
" You will know soon enough vige head Gu," Yu Dong replied as she left the terrain on which they were walking and then walked towards the cliff that has fallen due to the heavy rainfall.
As they walked closer the smell of the corpses got even thicker and Vige head Gu had to take out her handkerchief to cover her nose, what she could not understand was how in the world the bodies of the vigers who were washed away just this morning was able to rot to this degree!
However, as Yu Dong took her to the area that seemed to have fallen due to andslide, vige head Gu''s eyes widened because of shock as she looked at the horrifying sight in front of her.
Bodies of mers were lined in front of her, somepletely dposed to some who were still rotting, she stared at the faces of the mers who were buried a few weeks ago and could feel the horror that they had to go through when they were dying.
" W..What is happ..happening?" She asked as she looked at Yu Dong, howe so many mers died? All of a sudden and that too without her knowing! If this was to get out then she wouldn''t be able to escape punishment!
Vige head Gu''s heart was thudding loudly as she looked at the bodies of the mers and swooned on the spot but she couldn''t even faint because of the smell that was overwhelming her.
" I told you that there was a dangerous woman who was roaming free in the vige but you didn''t believe me," Yu Dong had no sympathy for vige head Gu. The woman might have a straight head on her shoulders at the moment but she was also the same woman who refused to believe that she could be wrong a few months ago when Yu Dong told her that something very fishy was happening in the vige.
Vige head Gu of course remembered thest time when she and Yu Dong separated on a bad note. Back then she found out that the officials actually wanted Yu Dong to be the vige head but thetter refused saying that she has no n to stay in the vige all her life and that she will move to town once she had enough resources saved up for it.
So, when Yu Dong came to tell her that something was wrong was happening in the vige, vige head Gu thought that she was deliberately doing that because she was regretting the decision of leaving the vige head position.
But she never thought…
Vige head Gu looked at the corpses that seemed to be older than a year and gulped silently. " B…But no one told me that their family mers are missing! If they did I would have definitely searched for their mers."
" Then it seemed that they didn''t want to let you know that the mers of their family were missing," Yu Dong said while Li Li pointed to a body that was closest to them and said, " That''s Qui Jiuyue!"
