A majority of the attacks were directed at Mu Sihan, but there were some that were off in their aim and hit Nan Zhi accidentally.

Nan Zhi did not move to avoid them, and ended up being hit several times as well.

However, compared to how terrible Mu Sihan looked, Nan Zhi was still considered lucky.

The man’s expensive coat was completely revolting. His neat hair had two vegetable leaves stuck there as well.

To the villagers, Mr Bai was akin to a G.o.d. Everyone respected and revered him, so his sudden death left them enraged. Everyone wanted to chop the murderer into pieces so badly.

“Mr Bai saved you out of kindness, it’s fine if you didn’t repay his kindness in return, but you even got someone to shoot him and kill him! You murdering sc.u.m! You’re not human!”

“Animal!”

“Go and rot in h.e.l.l when you die!”

“If you dare, you can kill our entire village together!”

The crowd got agitated once more.

After they were done throwing their eggs, the head of the village led the group and threw stones over at Mu Sihan as well.

One of the stones. .h.i.t Mu Sihan’s forehead, and blood immediately trickled down his face.

Standing by the side, Nan Zhi did not look like her heart was aching when she saw Mu Sihan get injured. Instead, she was like the villagers, extremely angered.

The villagers vented for a very long time before they finally stopped.

“Chase him out! This monster person doesn’t deserve to pay his respects to Mr Bai!”

After Mu Sihan was chased out by the villagers, the yard regained its silence.

Nan Zhi did not stay too long in the yard, turning around to enter the wooden hut immediately.

…

The person that had been watching the two of them secretly for Lucy hurriedly reported the situation to Lucy after seeing Mu Sihan chased out by the villagers.

Hearing that Nan Zhi did not do anything when Mu Sihan was injured, she finally started to believe that their relations.h.i.+p was really broken.

If they still had even an ounce of feelings for each other, it would be impossible for Nan Zhi to not feel a bit of heart ache when she watched her loved one attacked in such a way.

Lucy smirked, the adrenaline from achieving revenge flas.h.i.+ng in her eyes.

…

Nan Zhi slept for the entire night in the wooden hut.

Although, the truth was that she could not fall asleep, the rowdy scene and the memories in the wooden hut continued to play in her mind relentlessly.

There was Mr Bai’s kindness and generosity, Ling’er’s innocence and laughter, Brother Gu Sheng’s warmness and simplicity, Bai Ye’s pa.s.sion and righteousness, Mu Sihan’s coldness and arrogance…

It had only been such a short time, but everything was different now.

Everything had changed.

Nan Zhi walked into the room that Mr Bai used to stay in. Staring at the items that old man had used before, she sat there for the remainder of the night.

…

In the morning of the next day.

Nan Zhi made some food before she packed it up and started walking towards Mr Bai’s grave.

The grave was located in a more deserted place in the depths of the mountain.

The morning dew was still present on the leaves around her, and drops would fall onto her neck from time to time, making her s.h.i.+ver in the coldness.
