In the following years, Jiang Tongwei failed the exams and became impoverished. He suffered from hunger and cold and had no choice but to become a son-in-law. The woman he married was big and strong, even stronger than him.

The family didn't give him money to continue taking the exam, but only made him work in the fields. They beat and scolded him every day, and his life was truly worse than death.

Before she died, Jiang's mother was conscious for a moment and was still cursing Ruyue and others. Then she died with her eyes open.

Jiang Tongwei closed her eyes expressionlessly and buried her in a random place without even buying a tombstone.

But that’s all later.

Mr. Zhen originally wanted to invite Gu Lingze to have dinner at his house, but he refused, so he had to quickly send a car to send him back to Donglin Village.

Just as she was about to enter the room, Aunt Tao ran out with a panicked look on her face. When she saw Gu Lingze standing at the door, she immediately burst into tears.

"Lingze, you're finally back. Something big has happened. Zhao is dying!"

Gu Lingze was suddenly horrified and hurriedly walked in with Aunt Tao. He saw several pools of blood in the middle of the yard. Aunt Tao took him to the bedroom where Zhao Chengmo was placed.

Doctor Li was also inside, but he just kept sighing. The whole family looked worried, and Jinzi was crying so hard that she was out of breath.

"What's going on!"

Gu Lingze rushed to the bedside and saw Zhao Chengmo lying on the bed, bleeding from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and all the blood was black.

Gu Lingze placed his hand on Zhao Chengmo's dantian and mobilized all his spiritual energy to snatch the person from the King of Hell, but Zhao Chengmo's condition became worse and worse, and his breath gradually weakened.

This won’t work, Gu Lingze frowned.

The opponent was already at the end of his strength, and for some reason he had forced himself to use his internal energy. Now the poison in his body has spread throughout his body, and there is no way to save him without special means.

Gu Lingze didn't care about anything else at this time. He took out the Mo Shuang Sword from the secret realm and cut a wound on his and Zhao Chengmo's wrists, and then pressed them tightly together.

Then he immediately crossed his legs and practiced his energy. After a while, he let out a muffled groan, and a lot of black air surged onto his face. Seeing this, others didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of making any noise and affecting him.

After an incense stick of time had passed, the bleeding from Zhao Chengmo's seven orifices gradually stopped, and Gu Lingze also exhaled and stopped.

Slowly opening his eyes, Gu Lingze raised his hand and pressed it on his chest. The feeling of the poison squeezing into his body was really uncomfortable.

But the situation was critical, he could only transfer half of the poison to himself first, otherwise even the Golden Immortal would not be able to save Zhao Chengmo's life.

When Jinzi and Lingzi saw him open his eyes, they both burst into tears, and their snot and tears wet Gu Lingze's trouser legs.

After comforting his younger brother and sister, Gu Lingze looked at Xu Mingyan and asked, "Brother Xu, what happened at home after I left?"

"It's that beast Shen Rong!" Even a scholar like Xu Mingyan started to curse, so you can imagine how furious he was inside.

After breakfast, Aunt Tao went out to collect the clothes that had been made by other people. Uncle Xu went to the restaurant, and Xu Mingyan took Jinzi and Lingzi to study.

The teapot on the table was empty, so Jinzi went to the kitchen to pour some hot water.

Unexpectedly, I saw Shen Rong sneaking around in the kitchen. I don’t know when he came in, and he was sprinkling some powder into the water tank.

Jinzi cried out in surprise, but he didn't expect Shen Rong to grab him and put the hatchet on his neck.

Zhao Chengmo and Xu Mingyan heard Jinzi's cry and ran out to see this scene.

Xu Mingyan was just a scholar without any martial arts skills, so he could only angrily scold Shen Rong and ask him to let go of the gold. Unexpectedly, the other party's eyes became red, and Shen Rong simply could not listen to what he said.

Seeing the hatchet getting deeper and deeper into Jinzi's neck, at the critical moment, Zhao Chengmo rushed forward and punched Shen Rong in the face.

Xu Mingyan's eyes blurred, and before he could see clearly, Shen Rong fell to the ground with blood all over his face.

Xu Mingyan quickly found a rope to tie him up tightly and threw him into the woodshed. Unexpectedly, when he came out, he saw Zhao Chengmo vomiting blood in the yard, and then fell to the ground.

Xu Mingyan moved Zhao Chengmo to the bed, and quickly asked Jinzi to invite Doctor Li. He took some money and asked Da Niu next door to drive to find Uncle Xu, asking him to go to the candidate's house immediately to call Gu Lingze back.

After receiving the news, Uncle Xu rushed to Zhen's Mansion without stopping. Unexpectedly, the servant replied that the master had gone to the city.

Uncle Xu was also at a loss for a moment, but he knew that something big must have happened at home, otherwise Xu Mingyan would not have asked him to go back so anxiously.

Anyway, the work at the restaurant was almost done, so I said goodbye to my boss and went home.

When he got home, he didn't expect the situation to be so serious. Zhao Chengmo's mouth was bleeding and Doctor Li was helpless. The whole family was very anxious.

Uncle Xu and Aunt Tao were just about to split up into two groups, one going to the county clinic to ask for a doctor, and the other going to the provincial capital to look for someone, but when the situation became critical, Gu Lingze came back.

After hearing what happened, Gu Lingze lifted Jinzi's head and looked at his neck. There was a white cloth wrapped around it and the wound had been bandaged by Doctor Li.

Turning his head to look at Zhao Chengmo lying on the bed, Gu Lingze narrowed his cold eyes slightly.

Good, very good.

If he didn't make Shen Rong's family suffer so much that they wanted to die, he, Gu Lingze, would be sorry for all the ancestors of the Guiyi Sect.

"Chen Rong is in the woodshed, right?" Xu Mingyan nodded.

Gu Lingze stood up and walked towards the door. Aunt Tao was afraid that he might get carried away, so she raised her hand to stop him.

Gu Lingze smiled and said to her gently, "Don't worry, Auntie. I'm just giving you a small punishment."

For some reason, Gu Lingze's smile made Aunt Tao feel gloomy.

But as long as no one was killed, she also wanted to beat Shen Rong up to vent her anger.

Shen Rong had already woken up and was twisting his body to untie the rope.

The door was kicked open with a clang, and Gu Lingze appeared at the door. His expression could not be seen clearly because of the light behind him.

"You, don't come over here, killing is illegal! You will be beheaded even if I die." Shen Rong shouted in a stern but cowardly manner.

Gu Lingze slapped him hard on the face several times and said, "Don't worry, you can't die even if you want to." After saying that, he stepped back and the door of the woodshed closed tightly again.

Ah, ah——

Hearing the screams coming from the woodshed, the others felt happy at first, but as the screams gradually became quieter, they began to get a little worried.

Of course, he wasn't worried about that beast Shen Rong, but was afraid that Gu Lingze would act impulsively.

When Xu Mingyan pushed the door open, Gu Lingze was calmly dusting himself off, while Shen Rong was lying on the ground like a dead dog, his body twisted and his face covered with snot and tears, looking disgusting.

"Don't worry, he won't die. Even if he goes to the government office, you won't see any external injuries."
