Chapter 125 - 97: Heavenly Mother Su Lingxiu i
Atop the large pit, the girl was excitedly burying dirt into it. Below the large pit, Honorary Member Zheng was stunned.
Could burying people stop them from doing evil deeds?
They were going to bury him alive!
He had heard about how the Madonna of the Madonna Sect persuaded evildoers, who later refrained from committing misdeeds.
Was this her method of persuasion?
“Mercy, Madonna! I genuinely won’t commit any evil deeds, 1 swear!”
“Believe me, I’m willing to…I am willing to become pure as a pledge, never to commit evil again!”
Honorary Member Zheng steeled his resolve.
Nothing mattered more than his life.
Even becoming a eunuch was better than dying!
The girl was shocked; of all the people she’d buried, Honorary Member Zheng was the first willing to take such a harsh step to prove his sincerity.
“Really?”
She stopped burying the dirt.
“Really!” Honorary Member Zheng gritted his teeth.
“Fine, the Madonna will believe you this once!”
The girl thought for a while, gritting her silver teeth and said in a soft hearted manner.
She then turned her back and said, “Quick!”
Honorary Member Zheng’s lips trembled, his face turned pale, beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead, but in order to save his life, he had to resort to this measure.
He regretted it deeply.
If he would’ve known, he should have offered his fingers as a pledge!
“I…1 didn’t bring a knife!”
“Aunt Zhou, give him one.”
The girl ordered.
The stout woman threw a dagger down.
“Quick, remember not to let the blood splash. Cover it with your pants. If too much blood is lost, you can’t be saved!”
The girl reminded him from behind, with her back to the pit.
Honorary Member Zheng almost burst into tears, muttering under his breath, “You’re truly compassionate.”
He held the dagger in his trembling hand. He discovered that due to the medication he’d taken, his blood was already building up. The moment he put the dagger down…
He was too afraid to imagine!
“Hurry up!”
Aunt Zhou urged, in a resonant voice.
“I’m almost done, almost!”
Honorary Member Zheng was trembling, his hand was in his pants, the cold dagger was against him, but he couldn’t muster the courage to act. He was about to beg, to offer his hand instead.
However, Aunt Zhou kicked a stone which hit his elbow.
Suddenly, there was a sound akin to the burst of a bubble.
“Ah…”
Honorary Member Zheng started yelling. A hand appeared from his pants, clutching an object…
Hearing the cry, the girl excitedly said, “Aunt Zhou, throw his thing out to feed the dogs. I’ve heard, those without roots die and become incomplete ghosts. He wanted to be incomplete himself.”
Aunt Zhou waved her hand, a silk thread flew out and wrapped around the object in Honorary Member Zheng’s hand. With a swing of her hand, it was thrown out of the window.
Unexpectedly, an incident had occurred that stunned Honorary Member Zheng into silence.
“No…no…you tricked me…”
A moment later, Honorary Member Zheng started yelling and cursing.
The girl was energetically shoveling dirt into the pit, her efficient movements showing her ample experience.
The soil was falling on Honorary Member Zheng’s face and mouth, blocking his speech.
However, it was still visible that blood was turning the falling soil red.
As the soil on top of the pit was diminishing, in the end, only faint cries could be heard from Honorary Member Zheng. Most of his body was covered by the soil, with only his head exposed.
“You…you won’t die naturally!”
Honorary Member Zheng now barely had any strength.
“Hehe, today the Madonna has persuaded another evildoer to refrain from committing evil.”
The girl was giggling and merrily filling the pit with soil.
The large pit was filled in, and Honorary Member Zheng was buried alive beneath it.
The girl held the shovel, jumping up on the soil and stomping it firmly with her feet.
“The evildoers persuaded by the Madonna won’t commit any more evil. How could you be an exception?”
After burying Honorary Member Zheng alive, the girl left carrying her shovel. Aunt Zhou followed with a helpless expression. Honorary Member Zheng’s butler asked humbly, “Madonna, 1 did everything as you ordered, can you spare me now?”
“Yes, I can.”
The girl nodded her head.
Aunt Zhou skillfully took out a thin mask and put it on the butler. He instantly turned into the spitting image of Honorary Member Zheng. She ordered, “You know what to do next, right? I don’t need to spell it out, do I?”
“Yes, yes, I will do as you command.”
The housekeeper nodded and bowed, then put on Honorary Member Zheng’s clothes to impersonate him. In front of the South River County Office, he knelt down and cried out for Madonna’s mercy. He stated loudly that he would no longer dare to commit evil.
He was willing to distribute all his wealth and retreat to the mountains to repent for his sins!
The citizens of South River County were shocked, even the County Magistrate was bewildered. That mysterious Madonna from the Madonna Sect had targeted Honorary Member Zheng?
Moreover, Honorary Member Zheng had genuinely stopped committing evil?
Under the incredulous gaze of the South River County public, Honorary Member Zheng actually distributed all his wealth, provided for the less fortunate, sincerely repented for his sins, and even prostrated himself religiously. He then left South River County.
He said he would go to the mountains to repent for his sins!
The housekeeper climbed halfway up the hill and didn’t see anyone behind him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had saved his life!
However, when he raised his head, he saw a large pit had been dug halfway up the hill.
The stout Aunt Zhou, picked him up by one hand and threw him into the large pit.
The housekeeper was dumbstruck.
The girl was swinging a shovel, panting as she started burying dirt in the pit.
“Spare me, Madonna, didn’t you promise to spare me?”
The girl nodded, “Yes, the Madonna promised to spare you. What does that have to do with me, Su Lingxiu?”
“But you are the Madonna!”
“I was, but now I’m not.”
The girl continued burying dirt as the housekeeper started cursing..
