Bab 807: Let us stay——2

Tan Mo gritted her teeth and then said with a trembling voice,  " Miss Yu, I understand that you do not wish to trust us and I wouldn't have trusted myself either if  I was in the same position as you but I swear to the heavens that I and my family never touched the human flesh which was being eaten by my fellow villagers!" 

"In fact, we tried to keep them from harming our children and others as well because if they were to eat the meat of a human what will be the difference between humans and beasts? But then our grain stock ran out and we could not hold on any longer." 

" If I were to say a single lie, then let the heavens strike me dead here and now!" 

" Wife!" Hu Bing could not help but shiver when he heard his wife take such a dangerous oath, he wished he could rush up ahead and stop her from making such oaths but he was a step too late and Tan Mo was already done speaking by then.
