Chapter 71 A Woman's Revenge
Chapter 71 A Woman's Revenge
Originally, Wu Song viewed Zhong Mei much like he would a child.
How could a man like him ever have feelings for his children?
When Zhong Mei offered to risk going in with him to subdue Deng Meng, Wu Song finally looked at her with new respect, realizing that this woman was no ordinary person.
But just now, he truly realized what kind of woman Zhongmei really was.
After smiling at Deng Meng, Zhong Mei neither tormented him nor threatened him to do anything further. Instead, she got up and left.
At first, Deng Meng didn't take it seriously and kept shouting until Wu Song got completely impatient and slapped him hard, making Deng Meng's mouth crooked. Only then did he stop talking.
But soon, Deng Meng opened his eyes wide and started making random "woo-woo" noises.
"A wealthy woman!"
After being hit by Wu Song, Deng Meng's speech became somewhat slurred, but he still tried his best to speak.
"Don't..."
Feeling annoyed, Wu Song simply tore off a piece of cloth and stuffed it into Deng Meng's mouth, finally finding some peace and quiet.
However, he also looked at Zhong Mei out of curiosity.
What did she do to terrify this guy so much?
Zhong Mei didn't actually do anything; she simply went to a corner of the Gathering Hall where several women were gathered.
As soon as the sounds of fighting broke out outside, even the most lecherous thieves couldn't care less about them anymore; they either fled for their lives or fought back with knives.
In order to protect themselves, the abducted women gathered together in one place, crouching anxiously in a corner of the house.
As Zhong Mei approached them with a still-dripping dagger, the group became somewhat agitated. Fortunately, they heard Wu Song's shout and did not get up to flee.
Seeing the women who were barely clothed, Zhong Mei couldn't bear it. She quickly took off her own outer garment and handed it over.
"My clothes aren't big, but they're still clothes. Sisters, whoever can use them can use them."
Seeing Zhong Mei's goodwill, the group felt much more at ease. Someone reached out and took the clothes, handing them to the woman at the very back.
Someone asked in a trembling voice, "Are...are those really government troops outside?"
Zhong Mei felt even more pity and replied gently, "That's right, the one leading the troops outside is the newly appointed magistrate of Yanggu County. He has brought his soldiers to suppress the bandits, and everyone will be able to go home soon."
She thought her words would reassure the women, but they had the opposite effect.
"Home? We don't have a home anymore!"
"Waaaaah~~~"
"My poor son!"
The women burst into tears, making the atmosphere even more tragic than before.
Zhong Mei's expression grew increasingly serious.
"Damn it, how many people have those two bastards killed?"
She turned back and glared fiercely at Deng Meng, then turned her head and said, "Sisters, since someone is preventing you from going home, then the grievances should be settled, and I will avenge you today. How about it?"
The women's crying gradually subsided, and one of them asked, sobbing, "Revenge? How are you going to help us?"
Zhong Mei pointed at Deng Meng on the ground: "That bastard is the leader of the bandits. He led all the robberies, so naturally we should settle accounts with him!"
Seeing Deng Meng being subdued by Wu Song, some of the women's eyes lit up, filled with hatred.
However, some people were still timid and hesitated to speak.
This was naturally within Zhong Mei's considerations. She continued, "It's alright if the sisters don't dare to act; I can do it for them. That fellow is a wanted criminal, so we can't take his life for now, but as long as he's not killed, I'll do whatever else is necessary!"
"If I don't kill him, wouldn't that be letting this scoundrel off too easily? I wish I could devour him alive!"
Zhong Mei sneered, "Sister, think about it. Is it more satisfying to kill him with one blow, or to let him live and torture him little by little to ease your hatred?"
......
The women were all shocked by Zhongmei's suggestion, but soon their hatred overshadowed the slight fear in their hearts.
How can one easily let go of such a hatred when one's loved ones have been murdered and one has been humiliated?
Led by Zhong Mei, a group of women surrounded Deng Meng.
"Woo! Woo! Woo!"
With both arms dislocated and both legs injured, Deng Meng thrashed about on the ground like a salted fish, his eyes wide open as he stared intently at Zhong Mei.
Zhong Mei sneered and said in a low voice, "I won't let you die easily. What you did to my father, I will make you pay for it, bit by bit."
After saying that, Zhongmei turned to look at the group and asked, "Which of you ladies would like to go first?"
"Me!" a woman immediately stepped forward. "I want revenge for my son!"
Wu Song had been standing to the side with his arms crossed, watching to see what these women were capable of.
But he was stunned after just one glance.
"this……"
Wu Song wanted to stop her, but seeing the woman's frantic appearance, even a man like him didn't dare to move.
The woman didn't even glance at the knife Zhongmei offered her.
Looking up at Deng Meng, she bit his little finger, raised her eyelids and stared intently at him, her mouth closing and gradually tightening.
Deng Meng struggled desperately on the ground until Zhong Mei finally came to her senses and quickly stepped forward to hold him down.
The other women also came to their senses and hurriedly restrained Deng Meng.
Not long after.
"Ugh!"
Deng Meng's eyes widened, veins bulged on his forehead, and his whole body tensed up.
Then look at the woman, who is slumped on the ground, looking completely exhausted, with a severed finger biting into her mouth!
She bit off Deng Meng's finger.
Looking at the woman with blood all over her mouth, Zhong Mei felt no fear, only deep sorrow. What kind of hatred could drive a woman to be so ruthless?
Wiping away the tears welling in her eyes with the back of her hand, Zhongmei asked, "Which sister wants to go next?"
"Please, help me."
Zhong Mei replied without hesitation, "Fine! What do you want to do with him?"
Watching Deng Meng gradually become incomplete amidst a group of women, Wu Song couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Even if such a person is dangerous, he no longer poses a threat, so Wu Song immediately walked outside.
"When these women get ruthless, what chance do men have?"
With a long sigh, Wu Song couldn't bear to watch any longer.
As he approached the outside of the Hall of Righteousness, the sounds of fighting grew closer, and the battle was still raging outside.
"Knock knock knock!"
Before Wu Song could leave, Li Chong strode into the hall.
"Erlang! Where is that person surnamed Deng?"
Wu Song quickly stepped forward: "Reporting to Your Excellency, Miss Zhong is watching him, and I was thinking of going out to help her."
Li Chong nodded: "Go quickly, don't hold back!"
After instructing Wu Song to go out and fight, Li Chong led Wu Dalang and the others towards the Hall of Righteousness. He wanted to find out why the other leader, Du Heng, had gone down the mountain ahead of time.
We must eradicate the root of the problem and never leave any future troubles.
When Li Chong, along with Wu Dalang and the others who were protecting him, saw Deng Meng, they were all stunned.
Can this person in front of me still be called a human being?
