The brothers Lu Weiguo and Lu Weidong stood in front of Liu Laizi like two small mountains.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat!"

"You dare flirt with my sister? You're asking for a beating!"

Liu Laizi felt dizzy.

Is he suffering from heatstroke and his vision is blurry? Wasn't it said that it would be that educated youth Yao who brought the person over?

Why are it the Lu brothers?

Lu Weiguo grabbed the pine root and smashed it at Liu Laizi.

Even though Liu Laizi dodged quickly, he still got hit on the foot.

He begged for mercy desperately.

Lu Weiguo didn't care; he just wanted to beat this shameless person into submission first.

The two brothers were careful with their strength; Liu Laizi was in pain all over, but no bones were broken.

Having had enough, Lu Weiguo squatted down and asked, "Would you dare to do it again next time?"

"I won't do it again, I won't do it again!"

"We didn't know you had this guts."

"It wasn't me, I wouldn't dare. It was that kid Wang Zhihua, he said he could find me a wife!"

Liu Laizi's mouth was bleeding, and he betrayed his teammates.

"Wang Zhiqing?"

Liu Laizi nodded frantically.

Lu Weiguo and Lu Weidong exchanged a glance.

He abandoned Liu Laizi and took his sister back home.

Only Liu Laizi was left lying on the ground.

They can't even get up.

Su Qiao stood on the high place, watching quietly.

Just as I was about to turn and leave, I saw Wang Zhihua sneaking over from a distance.

She immediately stopped in her tracks.

Wang Zhihua was very careful. When he saw Liu Laizi on the ground, he was just about to turn around and run away.

Then I was stopped.

"Wang Zhihua, you stop right there!"

"Brother Liu, what are you doing here? I thought you had left."

"You're so clever, daring to lie to me."

Wang Zhihua apologized profusely and carefully helped the person up.

Judging from the way Su Qiao looked at Liu Laizi, he was probably already plotting how to get revenge for the beating.

It seems she needs to teach him a lesson beforehand.

After all, this kid originally wanted to scheme against her.

Even though she might not necessarily suffer, the fact that he had such thoughts was just asking for trouble!

When Lu Xiang returned home, the two brothers didn't dare to leave, afraid that their sister had been frightened and they would have to comfort her.

Lu Xiang was quite scared at the time, but she had been prepared beforehand and had her two older brothers with her, so she wasn't afraid.

The family comforted each other, but that's another story.

That night, Su Qiao used the cover of the space to reach the top of the dilapidated temple.

This is a new feature she developed; she can use objects to hit people in the space.

They can also come and go freely.

No one could see her figure at all.

She discovered it by accident, and decided to let Wang Zhihua and his wife be the guinea pigs today.

Inside the dilapidated temple.

Wang Zhihua is cursing Yao Qing.

"You idiot, you can't even fool a single person. Now look what you've done, you've offended someone."

"All you do is criticize me all day long, but aren't you the same?" That's just how Yao Qing is; she can't stand any negative opinions.

"..."

The insults were quite intense.

Su Qiao stood on a large tree outside the courtyard wall, dressed in all black, quietly observing the structure of the dilapidated temple.

There were no Buddha statues in the dilapidated temple, only a huge stone platform. Some straw was scattered haphazardly on the ground.

The two of them cleared out only a small area in the corner to store bedding and clothes.

The weeds in the yard haven't been cleared.

The two were not afraid of snakes, insects, rats, or ants.

Even if the roof of the dilapidated temple was leaking, I doubt the two of them would bother to fix it.

A small fire was lit in the center of the courtyard, but its illumination was limited.

Su Qiao walked along the space to the top of the dilapidated temple, picked up a basin of water and poured it down to extinguish the fire.

It made a "hissing" sound.

The two people who were arguing stopped abruptly, but when they looked up, they could only see the moon, which was half-hidden by clouds.

It didn't rain...

Where did the water come from?

The dilapidated temple was extremely quiet.

Su Qiao had already pinpointed the positions of the two men, especially Wang Zhihua's.

He simply picked up a long stick and started swinging it around.

A stick struck Wang Zhihua.

Yao Qing was unable to dodge in time and was also hit.

He landed on his bottom with a thud.

Wang Zhihua shouted, "A ghost!"

Move aside.

Su Qiao wasn't about to let it go, so she chased after him and continued to beat him with a long stick.

Just then, the dark clouds dispersed, revealing the moon that had been obscured.

Under the moonlight, a stick that appeared out of nowhere was chasing after Wang Zhihua and beating him mercilessly.

It looks even more terrifying now.

The two screamed and fell to the ground.

I was so scared I fainted.

This is exactly the effect Su Qiao wanted.

She'd had enough; she wasn't good at hitting people, she relied entirely on brute force.

Wang Zhihua's injuries are enough to keep him in pain for several days.

Su Qiao returned home satisfied. As for Liu Laizi, she would go after he recovered from his injuries.

If she takes action now, she might kill someone, which would be bad.

She had just left not long ago.

The Lu brothers also arrived.

Naturally, they heard Wang Zhihua's scream.

ghost?

They had never seen him before, and they figured Wang Zhihua must be feeling guilty. With that thought in mind, the two quickened their pace.

As soon as I climbed over the courtyard wall, I saw the two of them lying on the ground.

When the flashlight was shone on their faces, a different color was instantly revealed.

There are bruises all over his face, left and right, his nose is black and swollen.

Unexpectedly, someone had already taught these two a lesson beforehand.

The two brothers struck him a few more times before turning and leaving.

Early the next morning.

Wang Zhihua and his wife woke up.

Seeing the injuries on the other person's face, I immediately realized that yesterday was not a dream.

There really are ghosts!

The two ignored the pain in their bodies.

He was shaking like a sieve.

Wang Zhihua began to kowtow frantically.

There were no statues of gods left in this dilapidated temple, so he could only bow towards the interior.

He kept muttering, "May the Bodhisattva protect me."

Upon seeing this, Yao Qing also began to plead.

When it was time to go to work, the two stopped, bowed again, and then went out.

When they were at work, neither of them dared to slack off.

The other group members were stunned.

Did the sun rise in the west today?

These two actually worked diligently?

As Su Qiao passed by, Yao Qing looked at her with eyes full of resentment. It was all her fault that Su Qiao was beaten by a ghost.

Yes, she had already imagined a scenario where God would punish them for scheming against the locals.

The reason for this was Su Qiao.

If she had obediently allowed herself to be schemed against, they wouldn't have targeted Lu Xiang, and thus she wouldn't have been attacked.

Yao Qing unconsciously followed.

She didn't try to hide it, so Su Qiao noticed immediately.

Su Qiao stopped and looked back at Yao Qing.

"Is there anything wrong, Yao Zhiqing?"

"You...I..." Yao Qing was speechless for a moment.

She can't very well say, "You didn't get our way, and now we're being punished. Aren't you ashamed?"

Su Qiao, unaware of her thoughts, turned to leave.

Yao Qing felt a surge of anger just looking at her back.

Why does she get to live so well?! Why are we ignoring her?!

Yao Qing felt all the unhappiness of the past few days welling up in her heart, and she urgently needed to find a place to vent it.

She started cursing at Su Qiao.

"I really hate you!"

The cornfield trembled several times in an instant.

Once you get to the first sentence, the rest is much easier.

"I hate how you're so capable of everything, I hate how you have such a perfect fiancé, everything about you is disgusting!"

Those who thought there was some big scoop: ...Isn't this just jealousy? That's all?

When they said that at first, I thought there was some real conflict between them.

The villagers were initially jealous of Su Qiao.

They were jealous of Su Qiao's ability to thrive in the countryside, completely shattering their stereotypes about educated youth.

The gap between Su Qiao and them was too great, and now all that jealousy had turned into envy.

I never expected that someone would actually say it so openly.

Yao Qing continued talking to herself, as if it were all Su Qiao's fault.

"It's all your fault! That's why Pei Xingzhi wouldn't marry me. You forced me to marry Wang Zhihua. It's all your fault!"

Su Qiao had hoped to hear something useful, but Yao Qing was too emotional and started saying things she shouldn't have.

"That's enough! You're in charge of your own life. I've barely spoken to Pei Xingzhi, aren't you ashamed to say that?"

I suggest you reflect more on yourself and look for reasons in others instead.
