The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1635 - 1722: Deep Hatred, Bitter Feud

Everyone was taken aback.

Is there a murder?

Such a heinous event was truly unprecedented in their peaceful little village. Many people were skeptical, almost unwilling to believe it.

The elder brother and his siblings rushed over in haste.

Even in those towns outside, murders were rare, let alone in a small village nestled in the deep mountains.

When everyone arrived at the scene, someone asked in shock: "Why is it the Liu Brothers?"

There were many brothers in the Liu family, but they were ugly, lazy, and their temper wasn’t exactly good.

In this village, this family was despised like unwanted dogs.

In short, the village had two extremes: one was the elder brother and his siblings. The three of them were decent, their parents passed away when they were young, and they grew up relying on the charity of kind neighbors, sharing meals with different families. But they knew gratitude, and once they gained some capability, they often repaid the kindness of the villagers.

For instance, the elder brother learned hunting on his own, and often divided his hard-earned game into parts to deliver to solitary elders. Whenever villagers needed help, if the siblings knew, they would surely lend a hand.

The Liu family’s experiences were remarkably similar to those of the elder brother and his siblings.

This family had brothers too, in the past when a drought hit the mountains, causing famine. During those hard years, both the village and the towns outside saw many people fleeing from starvation.

The Liu siblings’ parents allegedly died of hunger, although there was another rumor suggesting that the siblings, in their desperation, secretly cooked and ate their parents. As there was no proof, everyone could only speculate privately.

However, these rumors certainly affected the villagers’ perception of the Liu brothers, with many believing them to be ruthless and avoiding them to prevent any associations. This family often relied on begging when they couldn’t find food, eventually developing lazy habits, and growing into old bachelors with no women fancying them.

Upon entering the precarious and tottering straw house of the Liu family, one could see bloodstains splattered on the floor, walls, and bedhead.

Two of the five Liu brothers were found dead, while the other three were missing.

When did this happen?

The bodies were cold, and the way they died was too...

They were stark naked, without wearing a stitch?

Some who dared to look closer noticed that the two cold bodies had their features slashed by a sharp weapon, with their guts stabbed open, particularly their lower parts which were unrecognizable, resembling nothing more than a heap of minced flesh.

What great vendetta or hatred could drive someone to mutilate them so viciously?

"Huh?" Next to the elder brother stood a graceful youth, Second Brother.

He furrowed his brow, "Brother, look at that Jade..." he whispered, gesturing towards a corner inside the house.

A shattered Jade Pendant, covered in dust and bloodstains. This pendant was of high quality, and the siblings had seen it worn by Miss Huang before.

The elder brother was startled, but before he could speak, Sanlang widened his eyes.

"This, isn’t this..." he hurriedly covered his mouth, fearing he had misspoken.

At this moment, the siblings were all quite bewildered, especially the elder brother!

Yesterday, when Miss Huang left their home, she had this Jade Pendant on her, but how did it end up here...
