When the villagers heard the woman's words, they were stunned. At first, they thought she was joking with them. Who would have thought that the woman was actually telling the truth?
It turned out that a woman indeed came to their village! And she came in a big carriage. One that was bigger than their houses.
At that moment, Village Head Zhou was sleeping with her mer concubine. She was snoring loudly when someone jolted her awake.
"What–what's the matter?" Village Head Zhou exclaimed when she woke up. She looked around wildly and saw her official husband looking at her worriedly. She frowned and said to him, "Why are you disturbing me eh? Just go and sleep and let me sleep as well."
With that, she wanted to go back to sleep but Master Zhou caught her arm and pulled her back from the bed.
