Chapter 91 The Unhappy Murderer

The crazy woman held the machete, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't chop it down any further.

She loosened her grip, and the machete fell to the ground with a clang. She shook her head, still muttering, "Eat steamed buns, go home, go home... go home."

The little Pixiu put on his flip-flops, stood up, and tried to reach out to her.

Her chubby little hand gently held the crazy woman's hand and whispered, "Auntie, don't be afraid. Pippi is not a bad guy. Pippi is here to help you!"

"Help...help...get home."

The crazy woman looked at the little Pixiu and her emotions seemed to be soothed.

The moment the little Pixiu came into contact with the crazy woman, she used her magical power to explore the woman's memory.

The tragic and painful memory made the little Pixiu feel the same way.

The severe pain in her heart caused her to have a mental breakdown. She sat on the ground and cried loudly.

At this time, Yuan Meng came to her senses and immediately provoked the crazy woman: "You are crazy! Crazy woman! You must want to capture us all and eat us, right! You crazy woman, you will not die well."

She also succeeded in provoking the mad woman, and the gentle woman suddenly went crazy again, holding her head and screaming: "Kill! Kill! Kill the man-eating stinky man! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

She looked at Yuan Meng with a fierce look in her eyes, and Yuan Meng immediately ran. When she passed by Shi Yuanbao, she pushed Shi Yuanbao, who was standing there in a daze, towards her.

Shi Yuanbao hit the crazy woman hard and met her face to face.

He was so scared that he turned around and tried to run, but was caught by the woman, who picked him up, carried him on her shoulders, and ran up the mountain.

Shi Yuanbao yelled, "Let me go, let me go!"

Yuan Meng looked at the crazy woman rushing towards her and dodged to the side.

When the crazy woman carried the Shi Yuanbao and it disappeared into the night, Yuan Meng glanced at the little Pixiu standing in the yard.

She walked towards the little Pixiu, picked up the machete on the ground, clenched it, and looked at her solemnly.

The little Pixiu didn't understand: "Sister Mengbao, why? Why did you push me and hurt Brother Yuanbao? You are too much! Pipi doesn't want to be friends with you anymore!"

Yuan Meng felt murderous at this moment.

As long as she killed Cao Pipi here, no one would suspect that she was just a three-and-a-half-year-old girl and could perfectly frame that crazy woman.

She raised the machete and slashed at Cao Pipi with a fierce look in her eyes.

The little Pixiu did not dodge or evade, and the knife landed heavily on her shoulder.

There was no pain on her face, only her red eyes as she looked at her: "Why? 77's mother and Fenfen's father said that children are the cutest creatures, but why are you so vicious! You are scarier than the big monster in our mountain!"

The machete cut into the little Pixiu's flesh, but she didn't bleed. Yuan Meng realized something was wrong. With a roar, the little girl in front of her turned into a Pixiu the size of a lion.

Her enlarged appearance is very intimidating, even scarier than a lion.

The Pixiu slapped down with its claws, and Yuan Meng screamed in pain, then fainted.

She kicked Yuan Meng away and ran up the mountain in the direction of the crazy woman and Yuanbao. Although the little Pixiu couldn't fly, it could run lightly in this world, leaving no footprints wherever it passed.

…

The program crew quickly arrived at the crazy woman's residence.

After examining Yuan Meng, the team doctor accompanying the production team said, "Director, this isn't good. The girl's leg bones were crushed by something, and her lower body is a bloody mess!"

When the light came on, everything was blood red. The scene was so tragic that no one dared to look at it. Some people even turned their heads away and started vomiting.

The director turned pale with fear and quickly said, "Quick, quickly contact a helicopter and send them to the hospital!"

When Yuan Ting and Zhang Yu arrived and saw this scene, their minds went blank.

Yuan Ting looked at the scene at a loss, and couldn't believe that the little girl lying in a pool of blood was his daughter.

Zhang Yu even lied to himself: "Then, is that Cao Pipi?"

The team doctor whispered, "It's Mengbao. Cao Pipi and Yuanbao are both missing. Mengbao's mother, I'm so sad."

When Emperor Liu and his wife arrived and saw this scene, they couldn't help but retch.

This incident was started by their son and they must be held responsible.

The two families followed the rescue helicopter to the hospital, and Yuan Meng was sent to the operating room.

The hospital corridor was crowded with staff from the program crew.

The director sister warned: "This matter must be kept secret and not be known to outsiders."

Zhang Yu overheard her words and went crazy. "What's there to be afraid of? If anything happens to my daughter, I'll make you pay with your life!"

Although Yuan Ting was also sad and heartbroken, he calmed down after an hour of reflection.

He pulled his wife aside and whispered, "Can you please shut up? This is a hospital. Can you please be a little more polite?"

Zhang Yu kept her mouth shut due to the pressure from her husband.

Mrs. Liu said, "Mother Mengbao, this incident was caused by our little fish, so we are also responsible. We will bear all the medical expenses and are willing to pay for any subsequent compensation."

Zhang Yu wanted to say something more, but was stopped by her husband Yuan Ting.

After a while, the doctor came out of the operating room, took off his mask and said to them, "Mengbao is very lucky and is still alive. However, her legs are probably useless and need to be amputated. Please sign the consent form."

"Amputation?" Zhang Yu was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he subconsciously thought that amputation would be worse than death!

She swallowed hard, suppressed her pounding heart, and asked, "Doctor, are you wrong? How can a child be amputated? She's only three and a half years old. If she has her limbs amputated, won't she be disabled in the future?"

The doctor frowned. "Mother Mengbao, what's more important, life or legs? As long as the child is still alive, everything is fine. I understand your feelings, but if you want to save the child's life, amputation is necessary. She is very lucky. It was God who blessed her and gave her a miracle that allowed her to survive."

Yuan Ting took the document from the doctor, signed it decisively, and agreed to the amputation.

When the doctor returned to the operating room, Zhang Yu looked at him in disbelief: "Husband, are you crazy? Amputation! Mengbao will be disabled from now on!"

Although Mengbao slandered her in front of her husband last night, making her angry and sad, she was her daughter after all, a piece of flesh that fell from her body.

If I really become disabled, what will happen to my children in the future?

Ordinary schools would never accept such a child, and she would definitely suffer discrimination when she grows up.

Yuan Ting took out a cigarette case from his pocket and whispered, "Come with me to the stairwell."

Zhang Yu followed her husband to the stairwell, where her husband sat on the stairs, smoking one cigarette after another.

Yuan Ting smoked a whole pack of cigarettes, and there were cigarette butts all around his feet. The stairwell was also filled with smoke.

He threw the last cigarette butt on the ground, stomped it out with his foot, and said, "That's it."

Seeing her husband finally speaking, Zhang Yu asked, "What?"

After a pack of cigarettes, Yuan Ting finally made a decision: "We want money. This incident was caused by Film Emperor Liu's son. They bear minor responsibility, but the production team bears the major responsibility. We can use this as leverage to negotiate a price. To keep things quiet, the production team will definitely meet our demands. Film Emperor Liu isn't short of money, so he'll definitely give us the most compensation he can. They're afraid of public opinion, but we're on the moral high ground."

After listening to her husband's rational and sober statement, Zhang Yu looked at him and asked, "Husband, that's our daughter, our biological daughter, not an adopted daughter. Why are you so—"

Before she could finish her words, Yuan Ting interrupted her: "Don't I know that Mengbao is our daughter? Zhang Yu, think it over carefully. Now that things have come to this, what can we do? Make a fuss? If we continue to make a fuss, it will only hurt both sides. What's the point? It's better to negotiate compensation with the production team and Film Emperor Liu!"

Zhang Yu stayed where he was.

Although what the husband said was cruel, it was also true.

Her own daughter had become like this, and she couldn't swallow this breath. Could she recover Yuan Meng's legs by going to the production team and Emperor Liu and fighting to the death?

cannot.

Since that's not possible, why not use this matter to maximize the benefits? Anyway, they trained Yuan Meng to maximize the benefits.

Zhang Yu, tears streaming down her face, trembled as she asked him, "Then, then what do you want to do?"

Yuan Ting took a deep breath and said, "The production team definitely doesn't want to publicize this matter. We have also promised the production team that we will not publicize it and will withdraw quietly. However, the production team must give us what we want, and the fruit station must promise to give us some good S-level resources. As for financial compensation, we can find the person in charge of this production team and actor Liu's family to resolve it privately."

Zhang Yu asked in return: "Will they be willing?"

Yuan Ting: "Of course. This show is an S-level variety show on the station. If there is a problem with this show, then the other variety shows on the station will be seriously affected. If we insist on holding on to it, the people in charge of the program team will definitely be dealt with and held accountable. They will definitely be happy to give us some red envelopes privately as compensation. And as for Emperor Liu, that goes without saying."

After hearing what her husband said, Zhang Yu felt much calmer.

After a while, the couple called the director's sister and Actor Liu's family to the stairwell to discuss the matter.

Actor Liu said: "The cause of this incident is because of our Xiaoyu. How much compensation do you need? Just tell me and I will find a way."

Yuan Ting didn't waste any time talking to him. He just gave a number and held up three fingers: "Three hundred million, in cash."

Emperor Liu was stunned by the amount, and then said, "Three hundred million? In cash?"

Yuan Ting: "Why, you're not happy?"

Emperor Liu said, "It's difficult for me to raise 300 million in cash at once. If you accept fixed asset mortgages, I can mortgage some of them for you."

Yuan Ting nodded readily: "Okay. I accept."

Immediately afterwards, Actor Liu walked out of the building and heard the director sister come in.

Yuan Ting said loudly, "Report this matter to the station. I will go and discuss it with them myself. And I need each of you responsible for this to pay 10 million in compensation."

The director's eyes widened. "Director Yuan, aren't you going too far? Ten million, where are we going to get ten million? Besides, the program team has bought insurance for all the guests. If there are any problems, the insurance will compensate."

Yuan Ting sneered, "My daughter turned out like that out of nowhere, and you think I'll just let it go? If it weren't for the good things I've done at the station, would I have given you a chance? I've already made it clear to the world. I want the insurance money, I want the station's resources, and I want the private compensation from you, the responsible people. Li Yan, think carefully. If I hold you accountable, you'll definitely be fired from the station. Do you want to spend 10 million to keep the peace, or just pack up and leave?"

Director Li Yan felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave.

Ten million is not a small sum for her, but if she can use it to keep her job, it is not a losing deal.

After much hesitation, she said, "I'll report this back to the station. Please give me some time to think about the 10 million."

Yuan Ting nodded and let her go: "Okay."

Director Li Yan came out of the stairwell and first called the leader of the station, and then contacted the mountain to ask whether the two children had been found.

If something happens to the two children, even if the 10 million is given to Yuan Ting, she will not be able to keep her job.

The staff on the mountain replied, "Sister Yan, Lao Wang and his team have already gone up the mountain to look for her, led by the village chief. We've also contacted the forest rescue team. The village chief said there are wolves on the mountain, and the woman is crazy. The situation is not optimistic."

Li Yan was filled with rage, but now was not the time to vent. She said, "You two should find a way to appease the emotions of Xue Qi and Shi Wen's families. I'll be back after I finish arranging things here."

"good."

-

The path leading up the mountain from the village looked like a moving fire snake under the light.

The village chief and the new director, Lao Wang, took the lead, one holding a torch and the other shining a flashlight.

Following them were Xue Qi, Cao Feng, Shi Wen and his wife, as well as some villagers and staff.

Mrs. Shi was crying as she walked. Xue Qi comforted her, saying, "Mrs. Shi, now is not the time to be sad. You need to keep your strength. We have to find Yuanbao and the others as soon as possible."

Mrs. Shi wiped her tears, looked at Xue Qi, and said in a tearful voice, "Ms. Xue, you've never given birth to a child, so you don't know the pain. If little Pipi was your own child, you wouldn't have it so easy."

Xue Qi was speechless for a moment.

Mrs. Shi realized that she had spoken out of turn and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Miss Xue, I was too anxious."

Xue Qi shook her head and said, "It's okay. I've never given birth to a child, so I don't know how a mother feels when she's panicked. Don't worry, Pipi will protect Yuanbao."

Mrs. Shi complained in a sobbing voice, "Who is protecting whom..."

Her husband Shi Wen patted her shoulder and said comfortingly, "Don't worry. Didn't the abbot of Shengyun Temple tell Yuanbao's fortune? He said that Yuanbao is blessed with great fortune and a long life, destined to be rich and noble, and that he can even marry a wealthy girl. Don't worry."

At times like this, they can only rely on metaphysics.

…

The crazy woman ran into the mountains carrying the gold ingots. She ran until she had no strength left and fell down a small slope with the gold ingots.

Yuanbao cried loudly in pain, while the woman sat on the ground, muttering, "Run, run, go home! Run!"

At this time, the only light source nearby was the children's watch on Yuanbao's wrist.

He shone the flashlight on the woman: "You...don't come over here!"

The crazy woman stared at him with wide eyes and said, "Run! Run! Run!"

Yuanbao got up and was about to run when he noticed a rustling sound all around him and pairs of glowing eyes slowly approaching.

Yuanbao was so scared that he hid behind the crazy woman.

When the eyes came closer, Yuanbao realized that they were wolves, skinny wolves!

Yuanbao was so frightened that he grabbed the crazy woman and said, "I'd rather be eaten by you, wuwuwuwuwu, mom, dad, save me, I want to go home wuwuwuwuwu..."

Yuanbao's words touched the crazy woman, and she also murmured: "Dad, Mom, I want to go home..."

She seemed to remember something, and tears could not stop flowing down: "Mom and Dad, I want to go home too."

The woman regained some consciousness and realized that a pack of wolves were approaching. She picked up a stick from the ground and pointed it at them.

The leading hungry wolf pounced on the woman, and she subconsciously grabbed the wolf and fought with it.

Just as the wolf's neck was about to be bitten off, a huge "lion" suddenly flew out from the jungle, grabbed the wolf's neck in its mouth and threw it away.

Yuanbao looked at the "lion" in front of him in disbelief. When he shone the flashlight on it, he found that it was not a lion, but an animal that looked like a Qilin.

It has a pair of protruding ears and a lion-like tail. When it swings in the air, the air around it whistles.

The little Pixiu put its four legs on the ground, looked around, and howled to the sky.

However, just as she roared, the wolves folded their pointed ears back, crawled on their front paws, and knelt down to worship the Pixiu.

The Pixiu hummed and said to Yuanbao, "Come up."

Yuanbao: “???”

He rubbed his eyes and complained, "Mom, I'm hallucinating. I saw a monster talking to me, and it was Pippi's voice."

The little Pixiu grabbed his clothes and threw him onto its back. Then it did the same thing again, grabbing the crazy woman's clothes and throwing her onto its broad back.

The crazy woman was bitten by a wolf and is now in a coma.

The little Pixiu didn't dare to delay and ran down the mountain with them until he saw the fire and the crowd. He stopped not far away, then turned into a human form, squatted in front of the crazy woman, and waited obediently for the large group to approach.

Shi Yuanbao felt dizzy and stared at the little Pixiu: "Mom, I am hallucinating again. I saw the monster turn into Pipiwuwuwuwu."

Soon, Old Wang and the village chief, who were walking in front, saw a faint light ahead and pointed over there, saying, "There's light!"

The little Pixiu responded appropriately: "We are here!"

The crowd rushed forward, and the surrounding area was brightly lit.

Mrs. Shi picked up her son and checked his injuries: "Son, are you hurt?"

Yuanbao shook his head, pointed at the crazy woman and said, "Mom, I'm not hurt. Crazy Auntie was bitten by a wolf to save me. Mom, I seemed to have hallucinations just now. I saw a monster talking to me, and I also saw the monster turn into sister Pipi."

Mrs. Shi hugged her son, tears streaming down her face: "What nonsense are you talking about, kid?"

The little Pixiu said in a clear voice: "Yes, Brother Yuanbao, you are so heartless. How can you say Pipi is a monster!"

The village chief called out to the men, "Hurry and carry that crazy woman down the mountain! She's hurting the children. Her crime is unforgivable! Punish her according to the village law!"

The men who followed him up the mountain held up torches and shouted:

"The crime is unforgivable!"

"Burn her! Burn her!"

"That's too much! This crazy woman almost killed us!"

"Burn her!"

Old Wang knew that this kind of village was poor and had little legal awareness, so he quickly said, "Village head, you can't lynch. This is illegal. Call the police."

When the village chief heard that they were going to call the police, his face changed immediately.

The other men in the village talked at once:

“How can we call the police on something that happened in our village?”

"That's right, we can't call the police! This woman is Zhang Laowu's wife. Laowu went to his brother's house for a drink and won't be back until tomorrow. When he comes back tomorrow, let him deal with it!"

"Yes, you can't call the police! You can't call the police!"

"This is a matter in our village. Why did your production team call the police? If you want to record the show, just be quiet and don't call the police. If the police come, what will other villages say about us? How will we hold our heads up high in the future?"

Old Wang had also seen a lot of things. He said, "Okay. Let's go back first. This crazy woman is also injured. Let's go back and treat her properly."

The team doctor gave the crazy woman a simple bandage, and several men took lunch boxes and ropes, tied up the woman's hands and feet, and lifted her up by hanging her like rural people lifting a pig.

Xue Qi frowned.

Even Mrs. Shi couldn't stand it anymore: "Why are you carrying people like this? Isn't this how you carry animals?"

The village chief said, "This woman is crazy. If we don't carry her down, are we going to carry her on our backs? Who's willing to carry her? I don't want to!"

Mrs. Shi was furious: "Even if he committed a crime, you can't abuse the criminal! Old Shi, you carry him! I don't believe what a wounded lunatic can do to you."

Shi Wen was already exhausted from climbing the mountain, and now he was still gasping for breath and sweating profusely.

When he heard his wife say this, he said aggrievedly, "Wife, I have the heart and the strength, but I am not able to do it!"

Mrs. Shi glanced at him and said, "Useless dog man."

Little Pixiu was held by Cao Feng. She hooked her arms around his neck and whispered, "Dad, can you carry that little auntie on your back? She's so pitiful."

Cao Feng nodded, handed the little Pixiu to Xue Qi, walked into the crowd, untied the crazy woman, and carried her on his back.

Everyone walked down the mountain.

Around three in the morning, everyone returned to the village chief's house.

The villagers demanded that the crazy woman be thrown into the village chief's pigpen and tied up with an iron chain.

The more Mrs. Shi listened, the angrier she became: "Are you human beings? She's already hurt, and you're still treating her like this. Are you crazy?"

No matter how stupid Xue Qi was, he realized that something was wrong.

She instructed Cao Feng: "Fenfen, put her back in our bedroom, and wait for the helicopter to come back and take her down the mountain."

When they heard that the crazy woman was going to be sent down the mountain, the villagers surrounded Xue Qi without any prior agreement.

The village chief said with a smile, "That won't do. Miss Xue, this crazy woman is the wife of our village's fifth son. You can't take her away."

Xue Qi asked, "I just heard Pippi say that when they found this woman, she was chained and locked in a pigsty. Since she already has a husband, why could they be so heartless as to lock her up in the pigsty?"

Someone scoffed, "She's crazy, of course she needs to be locked up. She's a cannibal. That woman went crazy and killed her own child! She and Lao Wu had two children, both of whom she threw to death! She even killed her own children. How inhumane!"

The little Pixiu immediately shouted, "No! You're lying! Auntie is a good person! She used to be a beautiful college student, as beautiful as 77's mother! Auntie has a father and a mother! She was abducted here by human traffickers! Auntie was not like this before!"

The little chubby girl raised her hand and pointed at the village chief, then at the other men: "You, you, and you, you are all the evildoers who caused my aunt to become like this!"

The little Pixiu was furious, and because of his anger, his tail was exposed from under his loose clothes.

Fortunately, Xue Qi was quick-witted and pushed her back.

The village chief's face turned pale, and he looked at the little Pixiu coldly: "Little girl, don't talk nonsense. If you talk nonsense, you will be eaten by the gods."

The little Pixiu puffed up, hugging his chubby arms: "I'm not afraid!"

At this moment, the woman on Cao Feng's back woke up.

She struggled to jump off Cao Feng's back, grabbed the little Pixiu, hid behind Xue Qi, and muttered, "Go home, go home...Divine beast, take me home."

Cao Feng is a man of few words and has little sense of presence.

He walked out of the crowd silently, picked up an iron rod, and returned to the crowd.

The tall man stood in front of his wife and daughter, his eyes cold and icy, unlike his usual gentleness: "Get out of the way."

What everyone didn't know was that as soon as they entered the village chief's house, they had already re-entered the live broadcast room.

Although it is early morning now, there are still many netizens who stay up late to practice Taoism.

Seeing that these people had no intention of moving aside, Cao Feng picked up an iron rod and swung it in the air.

When the iron rod was thrown out, the villagers were frightened and reflexively dodged.

The village chief would not let them take the person away, so several men rushed forward and tried to surround Cao Feng.

Seeing this, Old Wang quickly said, "Don't be impulsive, fellow villagers! Let's talk it over nicely!"

The villagers picked up their hoes and cursed, "Fuck you! Talk to him nicely? I'm not going to talk to him nicely! Beat them to death! They dare to come to our village to cause trouble, beat them to death!"

The camera in the live broadcast room captured a group of men surrounding Cao Feng, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

The deserted live broadcast room suddenly became crowded with comments:

"What the hell is going on? A fight has broken out!"

"Pipi described the woman's trafficking so clearly, so it must be correct, right? Otherwise, how could a child make it up so clearly? This is trafficking, damn it!"

"Fuck, there's something wrong with these villagers. If there was nothing wrong, Xue Qi would have paid out of his own pocket to send someone down the mountain for treatment. Any normal person would have wanted that, right? These villagers' reactions are just bizarre!"

"That's right, it's so weird! Damn. Cao Feng's reaction is so...

Ah, this is what it means to be silent but make a splash?"

"Ahhh Cao Feng 77, please don't get into trouble! What are the people from the production team doing? Hurry up!"

Before the staff of the program team could step forward to separate the two, Cao Feng had already broken through the encirclement and easily seized the hoe from the villagers.

Not only that, Cao Feng raised his long legs and kicked two of them down, creating a path for his wife and daughter.

Cao Feng had a cold expression on his face. He plunged his hoe into the ground and roared, "Whoever dares to come here, I will show no mercy."

This scene made the hoe look like a general inserting a deadly heavy sword into the ground!

Xue Qi said coldly, "Don't come over here! My husband used to be a border guard and has killed people before. He's also sick and kills without mercy! Look at his face, it's all black now. This is a sign of illness! Don't come near! How can you, the weak little villagers, possibly defeat a demon who kills without blinking an eye? Get out of the way!"

After Xue Qi said this, the villagers subconsciously took a few steps aside.

They were not afraid that Cao Feng was a "soldier", but they were worried that Cao Feng was a "madman" who would really kill people if he went crazy!

Seeing the villagers still staring at him, Xue Qi added, "Ahhh, husband, don't go crazy! Don't kill anyone! Everyone, stay away! My husband will smash people's heads into pulp when he gets crazy! A psychopath like him, even if he kills someone, the police won't care. Everyone, stay away!"

Cao Feng: “…”

He cooperated very well and howled to the sky: "Awoo——"

Then he picked up the hoe, his eyes wide open, and said, "Kill, kill, kill!"

Xue Qi: “…”

Just...Husband, you seem to be overdoing it.

Little Pixiu: “…”

Dad, your “Awooo” doesn’t sound intimidating at all.

However, the contrast between Cao Feng's before and after behavior made the villagers believe it and they quickly took a few steps back.

Live broadcast room barrage:

“??????????”

“?????????????”

"Is this a fucking comedy family?"

"Just as I was about to get angry, I suddenly spat out a mouthful of water on the screen and typed out a string of HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA."
