Becoming an indescribable god after failing to ring in the new year.

Chapter 87 Ends (Seeking First Subscription of 8)

As the congee was finished, the atmosphere in the room became even stranger.

Lu Xiao held her phone, repeatedly typing in the number.

But it quickly stopped and deleted it.

He came up with a way to genuinely express his remorse and turn himself in.

"The witch said I was spared three years of imprisonment, which is why the evil aura between my brows didn't dissipate and turned into a calamity."

"If I confess to other crimes, would that be considered atonement, and would it make up for some of the imprisonment and avert the calamity?"

Lu Xiao thought this way, but he wasn't sure what kind of crime he should confess to.

Kidnapping and killing one's brother involves murder. Even if one surrenders, they will likely not be sentenced to death, but will most likely be sentenced to life imprisonment.

So they chose some other, less serious crimes, like burglary from back then.

With this in mind, Lu Xiao began to struggle with the decision.

A sense of wishful thinking and opportunism constantly drove him to change his mind.

Most importantly, Lu Xiao actually believed Wu Xiumei and knew that her mindset was definitely not one of genuine remorse.

So he was afraid that even if he turned himself in, he would still be caught by this calamity and die in prison.

Even though death was inevitable, Lu Xiao instinctively didn't want to risk further losses.

From a rational perspective, Lu Xiao should understand that compared to death, other losses are insignificant. As long as it can save his own life, any attempt should be made.

But Lu Xiao is currently unable to think rationally.

Amidst this repeated torment, Lu Xiao's physical condition visibly deteriorated.

At this moment, it wasn't just his forehead that was black; his entire face had taken on an eerie, ashen hue.

Whether it was poisoning or something else, if Lu Xiao were to lie there motionless, others might initially mistake him for a corpse.

"Why should I turn myself in?!"

"Why should I be the one to repent!"

"I didn't do anything wrong?!"

As Lu Xiao thought about this, he couldn't help but look up at Wu Xiumei not far away. She was sweeping the blood and the branches and leaves blown by on the ground with a broom.

If you ignore the corpse in the house, he just looks like an ordinary old man living in a mountain village who doesn't want to go to the big city.

Why should someone like that live?

The other person is already 83, while I am only 30.

He doesn't want to die!

With this in mind, all sorts of doubts from the past flooded into Lu Xiao's mind at this moment.

Why does this old woman living in the mountain village have so much money? And why does the other party know about his past deeds? And why is the other party not afraid?

These doubts came together at this moment, eventually forming a single viewpoint.

"You're an accomplice!" Lu Xiao looked at Wu Xiumei, raised his head, his eyes red and bloodshot, a testament to his current madness.

"You orchestrated all of this." Lu Xiao stood up, his hand already gripping the hoe beside him. He felt that the other party's doctrine of atonement was all a lie.

With this thought in mind, Lu Xiao suddenly felt that he had found a way out.

"Once we capture you and threaten you with your life, the person behind it will definitely appear." Lu Xiao's understanding was partly correct, but he also overlooked many issues.

For example, Wu Xiumei almost died before, and no one helped her during the whole process.

But at this moment, Lu Xiao no longer thought about those things; he could see what he believed was right.

Just like back then, when his good brother earnestly advised him that continuing down the path of crime would lead to no good end.

At that time, the other party was sincere and genuinely wanted to persuade him to turn back.

He believed that the other person would betray him, and with a jealous feeling that she was entitled to a happy family and could turn back so easily, he pushed her off the building.

Lu Xiao was in the same boat at this moment; a single thought in a person's heart can change from good to evil.

Wu Xiumei, holding a broom, had her back to Lu Xiao and was sweeping the dirt floor as if she hadn't heard his words.

In fact, Wu Xiumei was already on the verge of death after that fall.

At this moment, she really couldn't hear anything anymore, and her eyes were cloudy.

She still wanted to clean the entrance area thoroughly.

Her husband was going to do something very dangerous, and she wouldn't allow him to go, saying that if he went, she would definitely not wait for him at home to come back.

She lied; she's been waiting until now.

Countless times while sweeping this earthen platform, Wu Xiumei would gaze into the distance, waiting for that person to come home from that road, and to run towards her with a smile and a wave, just like always.

"I'm sorry, I lied to you once, and you're so vengeful. You finally came back to pick me up." This time, Wu Xiumei's cloudy eyes finally saw a figure, and then another figure appeared next to that figure.

"Ah Yong is back too. Mom lied to you too. Mom didn't want you to go to the metaphysics club. You must have missed Mom a lot."

Wu Xiumei muttered to herself, the broom in her hand had somehow come loose, and she was groping around in front of her, as if she was sorting and collecting many threads.

Behind her, Lu Xiao had already frantically approached, but he didn't notice that the five-step snake he had injured earlier was curled up next to the threshold.

The moment he rushed out of the room, the five-step snake was startled and suddenly sprang out, biting Lu Xiao's leg.

The pain triggered a chain reaction, and Lu Xiao's already poor physical condition caused him to stumble forward.

The hoe slipped from his hand and landed not far in front of him.

Seeing this, Lu Xiao swung his leg, trying to shake off the snake that was still biting his leg.

Then he kicked the blade of the hoe.

The originally blunt hoe blade was now as sharp as a knife, and the shoes did not provide much protection; several toes were even cut off.

The intense pain completely disoriented Lu Xiao; he could feel that death was nearby.

He ran in a daze, trying to escape from here, to escape death.

The strenuous exercise caused toxins to be rapidly transported throughout his body.

Then Lu Xiao felt as if his foot had stepped into empty air.

He unknowingly reached the edge of the earthen platform, and when he lost his footing, he rolled down it.

As he rolled, Lu Xiao could feel pain all over his body.

Lu Xiao did not die immediately after rolling down the slope.

He lay folded up on the path at the foot of the mountain, and from his remaining vision he could glimpse the figure of an old woman walking away in the distance, just like his grandmother.

At that moment, a wriggling sensation arose beside him, and the snake crawled in front of him, blocking his entire view. The sensation of its scales rubbing against his skin was exceptionally acute at that moment.

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

Lu Shi collected the fear imprints, then caught Wu Xiumei's fallen body.

The mark between his eyebrows changed rapidly at that moment.
