Not only the people living in the house, but everyone in the whole town knew that Brother Zhu was too honest and was afraid to even speak loudly, so no one thought that he would suddenly roar today.

This voice was more penetrating than Zhao Dongniang's and more powerful than Zhuang Ge's. The roar was heard by the entire house and even people on the street.

When Ying and the others heard the sound, they immediately rushed out of the room, only to see Brother Zhuang staggering out of Brother Zhu's room.

“Old, Old Zhu, you, what are you doing…” Brother Zhuang was obviously frightened and couldn’t even speak clearly, but Ying had already heard what happened in the house.

That was the sound of fist hitting flesh, over and over again, with almost no interval between each, and each hit was made with all strength.

"Not good!" Ying quickly pushed away the strong brother who was blocking the door and rushed into the house. She immediately saw Brother Zhu who was pressing Zhao Dongniang under him and punching her again and again.

In just a short while, Zhu Ge's fist was already stained with blood. Zhao Dongniang also showed her characteristics of a shrew. Although she was obviously dizzy from the beating, she was still trying hard to dig her nails into the other's flesh and push Zhu Ge away.

But her consciousness had become blurred, and she obviously couldn't hold on for much longer. In desperation, Ying had to control her strength and kick Zhu Ge away. Although Zhu Ge's body was heavy, Ying was also a veteran, and the strength she could exert was far beyond the ordinary people's level.

Zhu Ge, who was kicked away, fell to the ground. Ying hurriedly pulled up Zhao Dongniang, but both of them were already furious at this time. When Ying approached Zhao Dongniang, she was kicked by the other party, leaving several scratches on her hands.

"Don't worry about it! Come on! Kill me if you can! Kill me so you can live with Chen Juan, right?"

"Asshole! Asshole!"

Ying had no choice but to endure the pain and forcibly bring Zhao Dongniang out.

Zhao Dongniang, who was about to go out, pushed Ying away with all her might and staggered a few steps, but soon fell to the ground, staring at the sky (the lake) with her eyes wide open, mumbling something incoherently, but even Ying could not hear it clearly.

"Sister Zhao!" Upon seeing this, Chen Juan hurried over and hugged the other person. Then she was shocked to see that the other person's face was bruised and swollen.

"Is Old Zhu crazy?!" Brother Zhuang shouted, and just then he saw Brother Zhu walking out of the house. When his red eyes looked at him, Brother Zhuang's heart suddenly tightened and he took two steps back.

"Crazy! Really crazy!" Zhuang Ge muttered again, and at this time he remembered the fear he had felt about Brother Zhu's resurrection. Under the control of this emotion, his body trembled, and he ran out of the house and left without looking back.

Brother Zhu walked in front of Ying. He was not tall, but he looked quite intimidating when he was angry. Fortunately, Ying was used to storms and waves, so she was not scared by him.

"Ying, get out of the way. This has nothing to do with you. I must teach her a lesson today!" Brother Zhu said gritting his teeth, and raised his head to look in the direction where Brother Zhuang escaped.

"And him, I'll settle the score with him later!"

But before Ying could react, Chen Juan shouted:

"Old Zhu! What are you doing? Dong Niang is your wife, are you going to beat her to death?"

Chen Juan was also frightened by Zhu Ge's appearance, but she was eager to save people, so she was more concerned about Zhao Dongniang's safety.

Fortunately, Chen Juan’s words made Brother Zhu sober up a little. He was stunned for a moment, and his eyes gradually calmed down.

He waved his hands a few times, perhaps wanting to help Zhao Dongniang, but finally he retracted his hands, squeezed out a sentence "She asked for it!", and then left the house.

There was no other way, so Ying had to follow Chen Juan to find someone to send Zhao Dongniang to the clinic, and Lingyue and Gu Ling followed them.

About half an hour later, they arrived at the town's clinic, but the business of this clinic didn't seem to be very good. While the doctor was treating Zhao Dongniang, Ying looked around the clinic and felt that it was empty. Not only were there few patients, but there were not even many herbs.

There was a bed in the corner of the clinic, covered with a white cloth, but there was nothing underneath. Ying walked over to take a look, but an apprentice soon rushed over.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't touch it! Someone died on this bed not long ago."

"Dead person?" Ying asked with some confusion. After a while, she remembered that on the night they first arrived in the town, a man named Lao Shao got into trouble and was sent away.

"Is that Lao Shao?" Ying asked.

"Yes, yes, that's him, that old bastard. He's still causing trouble for others even after his death!" the apprentice said angrily. "But it's also strange. After this guy died, his chest collapsed the next day. Master said that he did too many bad things in his daily life, so the witch dug out his heart and took away his soul."

Ying was startled by these words. She immediately showed a surprised expression and said:

"Is there such a thing? A corpse's heart can be missing?"

She hoped to hear more details. As expected, the apprentice was not on guard against her at all, so she continued:

"That's right. I was the one who discovered something was wrong with the body, so I quickly called Master over. He was also surprised at the time, so he took a look secretly. Guess what? Old Shao really has no heart!"

"If you ask me, there is no such thing as a witch. Old Shao must have done too many immoral things, and his enemies have come after him."

The apprentice spoke so vividly that even Ling Yue and Gu Ling, who were a little further away, could hear it clearly. The two of them and Ying looked at each other, and after Ying and the apprentice thanked them, the three of them retreated outside the clinic without making a sound.

The three of them found a secluded location, and Gu Ling spoke first:

"It must be that Sui Yang again. He must have stolen Lao Shao's heart! Now he must have replaced Zhu Ge's heart with Lao Shao's, causing him to become so irritable."

Ying and Lingyue also agreed with this point, but Ying still didn't quite understand. Not to mention how a heart transplant was done, could just replacing a heart really change a person's personality drastically?

So she asked:

"But if it's just a heart transplant, how can he change a person's personality? Lao Shao is rude and Brother Zhu is cowardly. Can this be changed just by transplanting a heart?"

Ling Yue shook her head:

"The heart transplant is just a formality. What is really replaced is their consciousness. Brother Zhu is still the same as before, but his view on things and his cognition of everything around him have become the same as Lao Shao's."

"This is also a kind of magic, like merging two people."

Ying nodded, understanding Ling Yue's meaning, and continued:

"According to Sui Yang, all he did was to break the restriction at the bottom of the lake. That means, turning Brother Zhu into someone like Lao Shao is a step in breaking the restriction. But we don't know yet whether it is Brother Zhu who is special or the heart transplant that is special."

At this point, Ying suddenly realized the inspiration that he had not grasped before, and couldn't help but laugh:

"I see, so this is the rule at the bottom of the lake!"
