Mentioning mushrooms would have been fine, but once they were mentioned, Chen Ergou reacted as if something had been set on fire. He pointed angrily at Fu Man'er and said, "It's all because of you, you brat! You did this on purpose to get me killed!"

He was terrified by that mushroom feast, and afterwards his father chased after him and beat him. The whole village knew about it, and even now when he walks down the street, he can still hear people talking about it.

Where is Chen Ergou's dignity?!

"Chen Ergou, are you a mad dog? You bite anyone you see, you stole my sister's mushrooms, and you still dare to cause trouble? I think you're asking for a beating." Xu Yi shielded Fu Man'er behind him, his hands clenched into fists and hanging at his sides, his gaze somewhat chilling.

Normally, Chen Ergou wouldn't dare to act recklessly, but he had been holding back his anger for several days. "Xu Yi, it must be you! Did you deliberately let that brat give me poisonous mushrooms to harm me? You're so insidious!"

That day, after he snatched the mushrooms back, he kept looking outside, afraid that Xu Yi would come and take them. After looking around and not seeing anyone, he simply cooked and ate the mushrooms. And let me tell you, they tasted really delicious.

"You're the one who stole my sister's things, and you still have the nerve to say that here." Looking back now, Xu Yi still thinks he deserved it.

Chen Ergou was convinced that Xu Yi was to blame. His chest heaved as he glanced at the bucket next to him. What a huge fish!

He said greedily, "Xu Yi, give me that fish and we'll call it even. Otherwise, don't blame me for teaching you a lesson."

"No, not at all." Fu Man'er leaned forward, protecting the opening of the bucket. "These fish are for selling, not for the big dog."

Chen Ergou had already heard the girl call him "Big Dog" twice, and his face turned pale and then red. "Big Dog my ass! I'm Ergou, Ergou!"

Fu Man'er didn't care about him at all. "Hmph, you're nothing, you big dog."

"Pfft." The person following behind Chen Ergou couldn't help but laugh. Chen Ergou lost face and turned around to shout, "What are you laughing at? Hurry up and grab the fish."

None of Xu's other brothers are here today. They outnumber him, so they refuse to believe they can't defeat Xu Yi.

"Chen Ergou, didn't you always say you were amazing? What, you can't beat me by yourself and need to ask others for help?" Xu Yi knew that they outnumbered him and that he would be fine on his own.

Fu Man'er is still here, and I'm afraid I won't be able to keep an eye on her. "If you're so capable, let's fight and see how good you are."

Chen Ergou, provoked, almost agreed, but having suffered many losses at Xu Yi's hands, he really didn't dare to fight him.

"Do you think I'm stupid? With so many people around, why should I be the only one fighting you?"

Finally, he's been beaten into thinking things through. If it weren't inappropriate to do so now, Xu Yi would have liked to praise Chen Ergou a few times.

"Brother Er Gou, I'm a little scared." Chen Er Gou was putting on a strong show of force in front of him, but his underlings backed down.

"What are you afraid of? With me here, how could I possibly hit you?" Chen Ergou unleashed a torrent of words, silencing the man completely.

Xu Yi turned around and said to the little girl, "Man'er, go to the side later." There were many people around, and he was afraid of bumping into the little girl.

After saying that, he took a few steps forward and said coldly to Chen Ergou's henchmen, "What happened today has nothing to do with you. You'd better not get involved, or you know what I'm capable of."

The henchmen really backed down, and Chen Ergou roared, "Beat them!" He charged forward first. Although Chen Ergou was strong, his body was all flabby flesh.

Xu Yi, having learned a few martial arts moves from his father, was quite ruthless. The two wrestled, and Xu Yi gained the upper hand. Fu Man'er clapped and cheered from the sidelines, "Brother's awesome! He beats the big dog!"

Chen Ergou was about to vomit blood. "Damn you, Da Gou!" he yelled to his henchmen. "What are you all standing there for? Come and fight! If we defeat Xu Yi, we can all eat fish!" He finally managed to get a chance to speak.

The allure of fish was strong, and the boys rushed over as soon as they heard it, throwing punches and kicks at each other until they surrounded Xu Yi.

No matter how hard he fought back, he was no match for the many blows. Before long, Xu Yi had taken a lot of punches, but he showed no sign of admitting defeat.

"Brother!" Fu Man'er, who had been jumping around, felt a pang of pain in her heart when she saw her brother being surrounded and beaten by several people. She stopped protecting Yu and shouted, "Don't hit my brother! Don't hit my brother!"

Chen Ergou had the upper hand. He pressed down on Xu Yi's arm with one hand and said to Fu Man'er, "You brat, just you wait. I'll deal with you after I teach your brother a lesson."

These words enraged Xu Yi. He kicked Chen Ergou backward, and taking advantage of Chen Ergou's pain, he flipped over and pinned him down, punching Chen Ergou several times. "Chen Ergou, my sister is so young, how dare you touch her?"

Xu Yi's face was covered in mud and scrapes, making him look much gloomy. His neatly tied hair was now disheveled. He glared fiercely at Chen Ergou, scaring him into speechless.

He was just saying it to scare the girl, boohoo.

Fu Man'er's eyes reddened with anxiety. She picked up the mud from the ground and threw it at them while whining, "I'll hit you, I'll hit you."

The mud clods seemed to have eyes, hitting every single one of them.

Cries of pain erupted everywhere. The group forgot about fighting Xu Yi and rushed to touch their own sore spots, only to find their hands covered in dirt.

"Damn it, who threw this? It hurts so much!"

This momentary lapse in concentration allowed Xu Yi to catch up, and the group was beaten so badly they couldn't fight back.

Adults often pass by the village entrance. It's common in the village for children to fight like this. Even after shouting a few times, no one goes forward to break up the fight.

"Ouch, that hurts, Yi-ge, I was wrong, I shouldn't have hit you, I was wrong."

"Stop hitting me, Yi-ge, it hurts too much." The places where he was hit hurt, and the places where he was hit hurt too. It was too painful.

Several men, bruised and battered, kept begging for mercy. Xu Yi spat and stood up.

Chen Ergou was shocked that even several people couldn't subdue Xu Yi. "Xu Yi, I... I'm warning you, if you hit me again, hit me again..."

"What if I hit you again?" Xu Yi suddenly threw a punch, and Chen Ergou was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground. "Waaah, Brother Yi, I was wrong, please stop hitting me."

Xu Yi really went all out; he can't even lift his arm now.

"Coward." Xu Yi spat at him, only to find a muddy taste in his mouth, probably from the cut on his cheek.

He dragged his aching leg and slowly turned back. The little girl must have been frightened; her eyes were red.

Seeing this, Chen Ergou hurriedly stood up and tried to run away. Fu Man'er saw this and, since he had hit his brother the most, he threw the remaining clod of mud in his hand accurately at him.

"Ouch!" Chen Ergou cried out in pain, clutching half of his buttocks. This damned sense of familiarity...
