The old lady grinned and patted the cowherdâs head. âSilly child, what else can I do? Are you alright?â
As she spoke, she began to curse again.
âl donât know what kind of madness Niu Erlang has committed. He actually came over to chop me up.â
âHow did you know that it was him? 1 was also shocked at first. When he slashed at me, I realized that he wanted to kill me. Donât worry, Iâll definitely get justice for you.â
As he spoke, the cowherd pulled the tied-up Niu Erlang over.
The moment she saw him in person, the old lady began to scold him again.
âHow could you do this? Iâve always been so good to you. Why are you doing this to me? If not for me, you would have died long ago.â
Niu Erlang did not look guilty at all. Instead, he smiled. âYouâre right. But you also know that the things you gave me were charity. You never treated me as a human. Only your son treated me as a human being, but why does it matter?
Thatâs also charity. I donât need your help at all.â
As he spoke, he spat on the ground, his tone clearly contemptuous.
This made the cowherd angry.
âWhat nonsense are you talking about? When did my mother treat you like that? She has always treated you like her own child. She scolded you because she didnât want you to go astray.â
The old lady sighed. Forget it, forget it. Donât tell him that. Heâll tell you I bullied him again. Letâs forget it.â
Seeing the old ladyâs expression, Jiang Ming understood something, but he did not make any comments.
This was fate. If they could not judge people well, then there was nothing he could do.
âNiu Erlang, what are you doing? How dare you bite the hand that feeds you?â
âl would rather starve to death!â Niu Erlang replied aggressively. âAlright, I think Niu Erlang is crazy.â
Yuan Hehe could not stand it anymore. He turned to the cowherd. âHe hurt your mother. We wonât stop you from doing whatever you want.â
Hearing this, Niu Erlang immediately became afraid and smiled. âWeâre all relatives. Donât be like this. Mother, havenât you always treated me like your child? Do you really want to kill me?â
Upon hearing this, the old lady sighed and said helplessly, âSon, take him out. I donât want to hurt him. However, donât let him come to my side again. I donât want to see him either.â
The cowherd understood his motherâs thoughts and pulled Niu Erlang away.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, some fog suddenly appeared in the house. There was a lot of fog, and it blocked everyoneâs vision.
Jiang Ming felt that Niu Erlang was about to be rescued. He quickly went forward to grab him, but he found that Niu Erlang had disappeared.
He could not help but be shocked.
How could he be so fast? It was too strange for him to disappear immediately.
With his thoughts, the fog immediately dispersed, leaving only Jiang Ming and the others behind.
Sikong Wuyuan could not help but feel confused.
âWhere is that brat? How did he disappear so quickly? I didnât hear anything.â
Yuan Hehe was also troubled. âMe neither. There was no sound at all. Those who didnât know better would have thought that he had disappeared into thin air. Someone must have saved him.â
Jiang Ming felt a headache coming on.
âThere are so many of us here, but we didnât notice the figure that saved Niu Erlang. Itâs really strange.â
At the same time, the old lady and the cowherd did not make any sound. They stood rooted to the ground. Their skin was turning purple.
Jiang Ming turned his head and saw their faces. He could not help but be shocked.
âWhatâs going on?â
Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe saw them when they heard his words. They were instantly shocked. âWhat should we do now?â
Jiang Ming let out a sigh and went forward to find that the two of them were already dead.
âThis is just an illusion. The perpetrator must have done this.â
âIs there no way to save them?â
Yuan Hehe could not help but sigh.
These two people were quite pitiful. It was not easy for this old lady to survive, but in the end, she was tragically exterminated.
âThereâs nothing we can do. This time is different from the previous time.
They donât have a pulse at all.â
Jiang Ming also said helplessly, âThe other two have probably left. We need to wait until midnight to know what happens next. Letâs wait until then.â
âWhy wait until midnight? What should we do with the corpses?â Sikong Wuyuan had a look of disbelief on his face, but he still could not understand what Jiang Ming was saying.
âl have a feeling that the perpetrator will come over in the middle of the night,â Jiang Ming said thoughtfully.
âBut those are just your feelings. We donât know anything else.â
Yuan Hehe was skeptical.
Jiang Ming smiled.
âWhen the time comes, weâll see if weâll meet that person.â
Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe were stunned by Jiang Mings words.
âHow are you so sure?â
âDo you think that they will let us go?â
Jiang Ming sounded mysterious.
Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe stopped asking.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, his mother and cowherd suddenly moved and jumped straight toward Jiang Ming and the others.
Sikong Wuyuan was originally drinking tea to calm himself down. In the end, he was so shocked that he almost spat out the tea.
The two of them sped up and went straight for Sikong Wuyuan. They grabbed his neck.
Sikong Wuyuan wanted to counterattack, but he was strangled so badly that he could not breathe. He could not even use the spiritual energy in his body.
The cowherd suddenly snarled, his fangs showing. He aimed at Sikong Wuyuanâs neck.
Seeing that the teeth were about to reach his neck, Sikong Wuyuan started to panic. However, he could not avoid them, so he could only close his eyes.
However, the pain he expected did not come at all. Instead, he heard the cowherd scream.
He opened his eyes and found that Jiang Ming had blocked the attack for him.
Moreover, he had slashed the cowherdâs neck.
Sikong Wuyuan was released because of his opponentâs death, but he could not help but feel shocked..
