What's it like to stand at the top of the food chain overnight? Even if... this food chain is poor and pitiful. Even if... you become a scourge that everyone avoids. Even if... there are all so...
These words made Huang Lao Er's face turn pale instantly. "He really deserves to be taught a lesson!"
If you're going to be rude, you'll get beaten up, and beaten up badly.
This time, Huang Xiaosan suffered the most.
After Boss Huang left, he gained even more weight.
"I can't live like this anymore!" Huang Xiaosan wailed, clinging to Jiang Chao's leg.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, snot and saliva got all over Jiang Chao's clothes.
Jiang Chao was disgusted. He tried to pull his leg away but couldn't, so he had to forcefully pull him away. "You're a grown man, don't always touch me like that. It gives me goosebumps."
"You dislike me?"
"You just realized?" Jiang Chao snorted coldly. "I've always disliked you."
"I can't live like this, I really can't live like this."
"Then go die, don't embarrass yourself!"
"I...can't bear it," Huang Xiaosan said, enduring the pain as he crawled up from the ground. "I get beaten up every day, when will this ever end?"
After a pause, he made a decision: "Since my second brother refuses to go out, I'll go out myself. I'll see how he beats me up before I even see him."
I used to think my second brother was a bit dim-witted, and I was always worried that he would be schemed against or bullied. Now that I think about it... *sobs*... I was just deceiving myself.
In the face of this humanoid beast, no schemes or tricks are of any use; whoever it is, just slap them to death.
“But,” Jiang Chao frowned, “if the second brother doesn’t help, the two of us alone probably won’t be able to get the information out of the formation.”
I've tried to get their approval several times already, but they haven't given in yet. This time will probably be no exception.
“I don’t care,” Huang Xiaosan said, sitting on the ground like a tantrum. “Either you control your men and stop them from beating people, or you tell us about the sect so we can go out and hide.”
As he spoke, Huang Xiaosan pointed to his bluish arm, "See? The arm has turned into a thigh. If this continues, are you sure you can still look human?"
Jiang Chao pursed her lips, not replying, feeling a bit contemptuous of Huang Xiaosan.
He got beaten up too, but he didn't miss a single punch, and he never cried like the other guy.
"Let's try again," Jiang Chao said after careful consideration. "It would be best if they agree, but if they don't, we'll just leave."
What if we can't come back?
"Aren't you being silly? Let's go straight to the capital to find Auntie."
"This... let me think about it some more."
Huang Xiaosan hesitated.
He wasn't sure if he would cause trouble for his mother.
"Whatever," Jiang Chao said nonchalantly. "I was going to enlist with the second brother anyway, so getting injured will be a regular occurrence in the future. I'll have to get used to it sooner or later. It's fine as it is now."
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaosan immediately made up his mind, "Jiang Chao, let's go ask him now!"
Jiang Chao is going to the battlefield, but he's not going. Why should he suffer along with him?
After figuring it out, Huang Xiaosan immediately went to find the Xie family.
"Second Sister-in-law~"
"You got beaten up again?" Xie sighed as she looked at the disheveled and miserable Huang Xiaosan. "Your second brother is only doing this for your own good. Don't be angry. Once you've had enough of being bullied at home, no one will be able to bully you when you go out."
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaosan felt like spitting blood.
Is it for your own good? Are you sure it's not intentional revenge?
Even if it were truly for his own good, he couldn't afford it.
"Second sister-in-law," Huang Xiaosan spun around, then pointed to herself, "Look at your brother, is there a single good spot on his body?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Xie turned her face away awkwardly, then coughed lightly, "Doctor Gu has medicine. I'll have someone fetch it for you. Don't worry, it won't leave any hidden injuries."
"And after applying the medicine?" Huang Xiaosan complained, "Isn't it just another round of beatings?"
The faster things get better, the more often they get beaten up.
Huang Xiaosan strongly suspected that his second brother was jealous of his handsome and dashing figure.
Xie had no idea how to respond to this.
Actually, she also felt that her husband was going a bit too far, but all that energy needed to be released. If he put it all into himself, she probably wouldn't be able to get down for a whole day...
It's better to die for your fellow Daoists than for me; as long as I'm alright, that's all that matters.
Jiang Chao and Xiao San, two grown men, will only get a beating; it won't cause any major problems. Suffering a little is for their own good in the future.
After comforting herself in this way, Xie's guilt suddenly disappeared. "Don't worry, your second brother is always careful. He won't break any bones. He'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
"Second Sister-in-law," Huang Xiaosan said dejectedly, "can you really bear to watch your brother get bruised and battered every day and be used as a punching bag?"
“My dear mistress,” Madam Xie said earnestly, “I can’t bear it either, but there’s nothing I can do. For your sake, I have no choice but to…”
I don't believe you!
Huang Xiaosan was now certain that feigning weakness was a dead end, so he immediately signaled to Jiang Chao with his eyes.
Seeing this, Jiang Chao asked in a deep voice, "Is there really no one going to take care of this?"
“Jiang Chao,” Xie said, looking troubled, “I have no other choice. Why don’t you think about it?”
"What else can we do? We can't afford to offend them, so we can only avoid them."
"You haven't given up yet?" Madam Xie's expression became alert. "When Mother left, she told you several times not to go out. Don't disobey her."
“We didn’t want to either,” Huang Xiaosan said, feeling wronged. “But no one is making the decision.”
Who could stand being beaten every day? But his family seemed blind, and no one cared.
Little Si and Little Pang are even more despicable. Every time this happens, they bring a pot of tea and sit down next to each other, their intentions as clear as day.
Seeing his brother suffering, instead of rushing to help, he leisurely watched and laughed!
When Mother comes back, I'll definitely make her teach those two a lesson.
These words made Xie feel a little uncomfortable. "Why don't you go find the milk?"
“Grandma doesn’t care either,” Huang Xiaosan said, full of resentment. “She actually said that Second Brother did the right thing.”
I really can't stay in this house anymore.
"You two bear with it for now," Xie said, her head aching from the two of them. "It'll be fine when Mother comes back. Let him find Brother Fang to spar with."
At this point, Madam Xie suspected that Fang Han had been forced to leave by her husband.
"We have to put up with this again?" Huang Xiaosan said, dissatisfied. "Forget it, let's leave."
"no!"
"It's no use disagreeing. Even if they don't know about our formation, they still have to leave."
Huang Xiaosan has truly made up his mind.
These past few days have become a lifelong shadow for him; whenever he thinks of his second brother, he feels pain all over his body.
I really can't stay in this house any longer.
If he weren't afraid of not being able to come back, he wouldn't be willing to keep arguing.
There's really nothing to be afraid of. As long as we find our mother, all our worries will be resolved.
"Jiang Chao, are you also joining in the mistress's nonsense?"
Jiang Chao didn't speak, but nodded slightly to show his attitude.
It wasn't that he couldn't stand being beaten, he just didn't want to be locked up here.
Even though there was no rope, it felt like it was choking, and its whole body was screaming to run away.
"you……"
Madam Xie was furious. After realizing that she really couldn't stop them, she snorted coldly and reluctantly told the two about the formation.
After getting the information they wanted, the two turned around without hesitation.
Then, without wasting any time, they immediately packed their bags and left.
