Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 205 Dragonfly Flying Over Water
Lingshui Prefecture, Xujia Village.

The girl paid the money, lifted the carriage curtain, and got off the carriage carrying a long sword.

The scene before her took her by surprise.

The sound of gongs and drums filled the air, accompanied by mournful music.

As far as the eye could see, several families in the village were holding funerals.

The villagers were dressed in gray and white clothes, and their faces were ashen.

I saw a girl.

The villagers walked past her with indifferent expressions.

Only a hobbling old woman stopped in front of the girl, her eyes wide: "How come you're not dead?"

The girl recognized the old woman as the mother-in-law of the family where she worked, and said, "I'm not dead."

The old woman waved her hands and muttered, "The village has been hit by a disaster. More than a dozen households have been affected. Let's go, let's go."

After saying that, she turned and walked into the funeral procession, disappearing into the crowd like a drop of water.

The girl frowned as she walked through the village.

Only then did they realize that the village had almost lost its vitality. Occasionally, someone would sit at the village entrance, silent and lost in thought.

unconsciously.

The girl stopped and looked up at the gate in front of her.

The vermilion gate was ajar, and faint sounds of commotion could be heard from inside the courtyard.

She subconsciously rubbed her shoulder.

The servant's ugly face and the excruciating pain of my fractured shoulder bone seem as vivid as yesterday.

I pushed open the door and stepped into the courtyard.

The servants were busy, and the courtyard was piled with furniture and other odds and ends.

Clearly, the wealthy families in this village are preparing to move.

"Where did this beggar come from! Get out!"

A servant, panting, carried a wooden stool to the courtyard. When he looked up and saw the girl, he immediately began to scold her.

The girl stared blankly at his face.

They recognized this servant as the same wicked servant who used a stick to beat them.

"I've come to ask for my mother's wages."

she said softly.

Upon hearing this, the servant was taken aback. He stared at the girl for a moment, then suddenly recognized her: "I remember now, you're the daughter of the manure-cleaning bucket!"

His tone was extremely contemptuous. He straightened up and looked down at the girl, "Looks like I didn't go easy on you last time. I didn't cripple you, yet you still dare to come here looking for death!"

The servant spoke frankly, unaware of what was happening.

At some point, the girl's gaze had become extremely cold.

She was born without a father.

It was her mother who raised her, changing her excrement and urine, working hard day and night to raise her.

Good people are often bullied.

She had always known that in the mansion, her mother not only had to do a lot of chores, but also suffered all kinds of bullying.

"The one who cleans the latrine bucket" is what they call their mother.

Originally, cleaning the latrine buckets required a lot of strength and was done by specialized servants.

But the servant deliberately assigned the work to the mother, threatening her with even crueler abuse if she didn't do it.

They even skimped on food.

Mother's wages were often withheld by Steward Xu and others.

If it weren't for the old lady occasionally remembering and asking a few questions.

They couldn't even get a single copper coin from their mother.

"You were born to clean latrines, and you dare to ask for money?"

The servant reached for the stick, walked up to the girl, and lewdly said, "You've gotten quite pale in just a few days. If it weren't for your tattered clothes, I wouldn't have recognized you."

Without any hesitation, he reached out his large hand and grabbed the girl's shoulder.

laugh!
Blood splattered! The sound of the blade piercing flesh was extremely clear!

The servant screamed as a longsword pierced his knee, causing him to fall to his knees!
The commotion drew everyone's attention, and they all turned to look.

Upon seeing the servant lying in a pool of blood, many people were stunned for a moment before letting out screams!
The girl, holding Zhaoming sword, remained expressionless, stabbing the servant before her with sword after sword.

Only when his limbs were riddled with gruesome bloody holes, revealing stark white bones, did he forcefully kick him aside.

The servant lay helplessly on the ground, covered in blood, completely devoid of the strength to wail.

He could only stare blankly at the sky with his eyes wide open, making "hoho" sounds.

"Killed!"

Some of the women trembled all over and let out piercing screams!
The other servants' expressions changed drastically!
Someone strode forward and helped the dying servant.

Some people brandished sticks and rushed towards the girl!

laugh!
A bright sword flashed, and a head flew off!
Blood spurted from the severed neck!
The servant who rushed to the front was killed on the spot!

"monster!"

"There are monsters!"

Upon seeing this, the remaining servants all froze on the spot, their faces turning deathly pale with fright!

They trembled all over, their hands and feet shaking, and could no longer hold onto their sticks. They turned and fled into the mansion!

The girl's expression was icy. Using her remaining spiritual energy, she held the Zhaoming sword and chased after him step by step.

"You slapped my mother's face."

As she spoke softly, she held the long sword in her hand and ripped chunks of flesh from the terrified face of the servant in front of her.

"You pulled my mother's hair."

Another servant had his scalp sliced ​​off by a sword.

Yellowish-white filth gushed out from between the cracks in the skull.

“You made my mother clean the latrine buckets and do all the hard and tiring work for you, you filthy thing, for more than ten years.”

The girl smiled, swung her sword and severed the servant's limbs, then threw him into the stinking cesspool amidst his desperate screams.

Before long, bubbles began to rise from the cesspool, and then it fell silent.

unconsciously.

All the wicked servants were killed.

Only a group of women remained, huddled in a corner of the courtyard, their faces filled with terror.

But none of them dared to make a sound.

All he could do was close his eyes and pray that this ruthless killer would spare him and leave quickly.

The girl walked up to them and paused.

Two of the women were quite kind to the mother.

But some people still boss their mothers around and exploit and bully them.

laugh!
The girl thrust her sword forward, and a vicious woman's eyes widened as her throat was pierced, blood gushing out in a stream.

I witnessed a bloody scene.

The other women were trembling all over, their screams piercing their eardrums!

"I don't kill good people."

The girl sheathed her sword and softened her tone, "Don't panic."

The women remained noisy and disruptive, clearly terrified.

Only one woman, with a calm expression, stood up and walked to the girl.

The girl looked puzzled.

The woman sighed and said, "This is all retribution."

The girl remained silent.

The woman stretched out her long sleeve and wiped the blood off her clothes, saying, "It's been since the first day that Madam Shen came to our mansion."

"My mother-in-law told me to treat her well and give her a way to survive."

"But this world is a world where people eat people."
