564: Taken as dead

Taken as dead

1Mother Qui felt  really bad when Li Li came looking for her, she has been keeping a low profile these days after her son ran away from the village. A few weeks ago when the village head Gu came looking for her and asked her if a mer from her family was missing or not, she has simply refused saying that nothing of the sort has happened because she wanted to keep the matter of her son running away hushed up. 

If the villagers found out that she couldn't even keep a mer in control then how shameful it would be for her? This was why she kept her mouth shut and asked her family to do the same.

No one has said anything to anyone in the village and she too has told everyone that her son went to live with one of her relatives. Everything has been taken care of carefully by her and her family, so how come, the village head Gu was calling for her now?

" Where are we going?" Mother Qui asked nervously when she saw that Li Li was taking her up on the mountain. Why was she taking her up there for no reason at all?

" You will know soon," Yu Dong asked her not to tell anything to Mother Qui because she knew that as soon as Mother Qui was to find out that they have found the corpse of her son, she will refuse to come and identify the corpse, she might even pretend that the body did not belong to her son since they couldn't drag the body down the mountain with them. 

When Mother Qui saw that Li Li was replying vaguely to her, she was even more nervous. Don't tell her that her son came running back to the village when he saw that the conditions were getting worse. 

Yes, that must have been it. That unfilial son, he must be scared of coming back home knowing that she will never accept him after he has fooled around with someone and that's why he ran to village head Gu and Yu Dong knowing how she has a soft spot for mers. 

At this moment Mother Qui was very much dissatisfied with Yu Dong, why did she have to bother with the matters of her family? Couldn't she have let that useless mer die? What was the use of him if he couldn't even get married to a decent family and talked about love all day?

Mother Qui didn't want to go and see her son but Li Li wasn't going to allow her to escape either when she noticed that mother Qui was actually trying to turn around and leave. She caught hold of her arm and asked, " Where do you think you are going?" 

" I ..uh, I forgot something, my… it's my medicine time, you see I am getting old and I need to you know …take medicines every now and then," Mother Qui was trying to make excuses to get away from Li Li. 

But the latter didn't let her go, she tilted her head to the side and then said, " Yu Dong said that if you don't come nicely with me then she will come to get you." 

Mother Qui stiffened as she heard Li Li's threat. She was very much clear about what kind of person Yu Dong was, if she was to come and look for her then …

She will definitely be killed by that woman!

" On …on second thought I think I can come with you, there is no need for us to worry about skipping my medicine," she told Li Li. 

" I wasn't worried about your medicine in the first place." 

Damn these women! Mother Qui choked on her spit as she looked at Li Li who was treating her so casually and then bit her lip in anger. 

But because she was still slightly afraid of Yu Dong, she still followed after Li Li quietly.

Throughout the journey to the mass grave, Li Li didn't say a word and Mother Qui's nerve became more and more of a mess as she turned to look at Village head Gu who was standing on top of the uneven terrain brimming with apoplectic with rage. 

" You dumb woman! Come here quickly!" She roared from the top of the terrain causing Mother Qui to squeak as she ran towards Village head Gu but as she got near Village head Gu, a really bad smell came wafting over to her and she reflexively gagged. Covering her mouth and nose with her sleeves she walked over to Village head Gu who pointed to her right and asked, " Is this the body of your son?" 

Body? What? 

At first, Mother Qui didn't understand what was happening but when she turned her head and took a look at the thing that Village head was pointing at and stiffened when she saw that Village head Gu was actually pointing at was a dead body!

And that dead body belonged to her son!

" No, No…this ..this can't be happening," mother Qui was furious with her son and even determined to turn him away if he was to come back with that tainted body of his but she never wanted him dead!

" Ah Yue!" She cried ignoring the bad smell coming from all the corpses she ran to her son's body but was stopped by Yu Dong. 

" Wh..what are you doing?" She questioned as she looked at Yu Dong who was stopping her from getting close to her son's body, "let me go!" She shouted at Yu Dong. 

" What am I doing?" Yu Dong scoffed as she dragged Mother Qui back.  " This should be my line, your son is dead and his body is rotting. If you were to touch him now then you will only destroy what remains of his body. Stay back and keep your paws off."

" He is my son!" Mother Qui screamed at Yu Dong. 

" Really, then why didn't you look for him when he was missing? Maybe if you took his vanishing seriously at least your son could have had a proper funeral instead of being buried here, you already took him as dead so why the regret now? Isn't it too late for that?"
