Huang Jialin's terrified cry made some nearby residents open their courtyard gates and peer out.
The village road remained quiet. No one came running out.
Zhong Zhicheng's words carried particular weight with the ordinary villagers of Cabinet Mountain Village!
If he told them to stay indoors as much as possible, they would stay indoors.
Even when there seemed to be some excitement to watch, no one went out to look.
Huang Jialin stared fixedly at the corpse on the ground.
Its face had been gouged away, as had its arms, legs, and abdomen.
He had no idea who the dead person was.
He knew the corpse had been here for more than a day. A crust had formed over the blood, the exposed fat had shriveled and dried, and the flesh that should have been bright red had turned dark red as it dried in the air.
He had only come to sit in the courtyard for a while because he was feeling down.
This was where he felt closest to his fiancée.
Yesterday, Chen Zhi had come to see him.
He had been bossy and contemptuous, treating Huang Jialin as less than human, acting as though he had harmed the village by letting the Twenty-Nine Outsiders escape.
Huang Jialin felt that life was far too hard.
The Village Chief actually suspected him of letting the Outsiders escape.
He had stayed home the entire time and done nothing.
He had explained to Chen Zhi that he held no grudge over Yu Mingxin's death.
But Chen Zhi had mocked him. Held no grudge? He simply didn't dare. He was a spineless loser, a piece of trash.
As for whether he had let the Outsiders go, his word meant nothing.
