"There's also..."
At this point, the village chief's wife suddenly stopped speaking, as if she had stumbled upon something unspeakable.
Su Yan looked at her and said calmly, "What else?"
The village chief's wife took another deep breath and continued, her face etched with guilt, "The little girl you asked me about earlier… she was the poor soul this beast on the ground abducted last year to be his daughter-in-law."
"I didn't want her to end up trapped in this village for the rest of her life like me, so I secretly helped her escape."
As she spoke, the village chief's wife glared at her husband on the ground with hatred. "But while she was running away, this beast found out and immediately chased after her with several other beasts from the village."
"By the next day, I received the terrible news: the little girl had fallen from the mountain and died."
Upon hearing this, Sister Zhou couldn't help but say sympathetically, "Such a poor little girl."
