Chapter 888: Reporting to the official ——2
" Ouch!" The old mer was caught off guard and fell on the snow behind him, his eyes were wide as he looked at Yu Dong. He did not expect that someone who was younger than him would kick him—— behind him a felt young mers standing and they immediately rushed forward to help him in case he was to take things too hard again.
" You, how can you hit an elder?" One of the mers from the Big Stone Village snapped at Yu Dong, his eyes red and glaring. How could someone hit an elderly like this? Especially when they were from the younger generation.
" I can hit you too if you piss me off," Yu Dong pushed her hair back as she looked down at the mer who was scolding her. Her expression was languid but her eyes were cold as she swept her gaze at the villagers who were standing in front of her, " Do you think that you can shirk responsibility just because you are old and weak? You are weak because you did not wish to work hard, you are hungry because you did not wish to work. How is it my or anyone else fault?"
" Did I stop you from working? Was I the one who told you to not hunt and instead rely on killing the children of others? The fact that your villagers are hurt is because you caused trouble for yourself, now bear consequences on your own. As for the other things we will settle the scores later, dont think that you can dirty my village."
" How can you say something like that? Our villagers were stampeded by your cows and bulls, their limbs have been broken by them even if we take them with us they can only stay in bed for all their lives!" The mers turned to look at their wives who were groaning on the ground and felt stifled and angry but more than anything they were regretful.
Some of them even cursed the villagers of the Big River Village for being too lucky.
Why did they have to stay alive? Why did they not get crushed under the snow and died?
Most of the strong women went to dig the houses of the big river villagers, because of this the ones who twisted their arms and legs were the ones who were the strongest women of the Big Stone village. With their condition, they can no longer work anymore, if they did not work then what will happen to their village?
When they heard Yu Dong treating them so coldly they were stumped, did this mean that they came here for nothing? Not only did they break their hands and legs but they were not even getting anything in return. How can this be done?
" You are the ones who made things difficult for us, you cannot just ignore us now!" One of the women who was limping could not help but shout in pain. " If you allowed your villagers to help us when we needed it we would not have resorted to such measures, it is because you did not make pity us. You clearly knew how difficult everything was for our village but you still turn a blind eye to it and did nothing!"
"That's right, you did not help us but you also released your livestock to hurt us, how are we going to settle this matter now tell me? What you did now has caused our village to lose our lifeline!"
Yu Dong's eyes flashed coldly as she sneered, " Looks like you will not know death unless you are hanging by the thread do you? You all really think that I will not dare to touch you? Is that why you are acting all smug in front of me?"
Her eyes swept at the women whose limbs were twisted and then scoffed, " I was not willing to take this matter to the officials but since you are not going to care about the friendship of the two villages, I will not care about you too either. I will go and report this matter to the magistrate today."
Her words caused the expressions of the big stone village to change especially the village chief, she had not only allowed the villagers to steal children but also took part in cannibalism. If this matter was known to the official she will surely get executed on the spot!
She immediately raised her voice and said, " Yu Dong! Do you really have to be so ruthless? You all are fine! Why do you have to report this matter to the official? You need to think this through carefully." As she spoke she looked at the mers who were married off to their village.
The word official was enough to shock the villagers to the core, even though they were responsible for making such a huge commotion they thought that the Big River Village will not drag them to the officials because they were related to each other by marriage, so many mers have been married to their village from the Big River Village and similarly many mers from the Big Stone Village have married into the Big River Village, how can they suddenly turn into enemies like this?
Who did not know that as long as a commoner saw an official, they would lose an inch of their skin?
And this matter was not small either, if the Magistrate finds out that they have eaten children would she let them off? Surely not!
" Do I need to think about it carefully? Why did you not think carefully when you almost squashed all of us into pulp? Do you not know that after getting crushed by the snow we all would have died in one of the most painful ways? Now that you are the ones who need to face the consequences you are asking me to be careful? Why? Who are you?"
At first, even the villagers of the Big River Village did not wish to summon the officials, after all, they knew that the women of the Big stone village might get executed but Yu Dong's words woke them up.
So what if they were willing to remember their relationship with the Big Stone Village, did they not try to kill them all and make their village a mass grave?
