Criminals

In a small village five kilometers away from Deer Villa, the stench of blood silently permeated the air in the darkness. An old man guarding the well had collapsed in a wooden house nearby, along with a dog which was bleeding profusely.

The wooden house was newly-built as the well used to be unattended. But the atmosphere around the capital region had been tense lately as news about the pestilence brewed. Aside from arranging villagers to patrol the village during the day, The Zhao Clan also found some widowers in the village to guard the wells at night so that no one could tamper with them. Not only the Zhao Clan Village, but the wells in other cities within the capital regions were also guarded at night.

"Hurry up, bring the things over…!" There were two moving shadows beside the well. One of them was holding a knife while he whispered. "The dog barked a few times just now. We have to hurry, or else we'll be seen…!"
