Gu Nian lashed Gao Dazhuang across the face with a whip.

The eleven people next to him were so frightened that they trembled and dared not speak.

They never imagined that a regular fight would turn into this.

Gao Dazhuang's gaze toward Gu Nian became even more intense.

Gu Nian felt like she was beating up a lunatic, a masochist, it was terrifying.

"Sister, let me do it!" At this moment, Gu Xin and the other two came over, and Gu Xin pulled Gu Nian aside.

“Xinxin, this person is crazy,” Gu Nian said.

"I have medicine that can cure illnesses." Gu Xin looked up and gave Gu Nian a sly smile.

Then he took a small bamboo tube out of his basket.

Gu Nian suddenly realized, "Oh right, they have powerful weapons given to them by Grandma Xiao, weapons that even tigers fear."

Gu Xin poured out a pill and grabbed the swaying Gao Dazhuang: "You weren't beaten to tears, so here's a pill for you!"

Gu Xin had a strong grip. She squatted down, tilted her head back, pried open Gao Dazhuang's mouth, fed him a pill, and then patted him so he would swallow it.

This is the only pill among the four useful tools Grandma Xiao gave her; it's called "Xi Zi Holding Her Heart." The others are all powders.

This "Xi Shi Holding Heart" dish can cause inexplicable heartache in those who consume it, with the timing varying depending on individual physical condition.

This "Xi Shi Holding Heart" drink is completely harmless to the human body. It won't kill you, nor will it cause you death from pain; it will only cause you unbearable suffering.

"You brat, what did you feed me?" Even hanging upside down, Gao Dazhuang couldn't vomit the pills.

"Medicine! You're sick. You're so happy even after being hit. This medicine is specially for treating your ailment." Gu Xin said, tilting her head. "Sister, go ahead and hit him. It'll hurt if you hit him now!"

"Haha, I'm not hitting him anymore, it'll hurt even if I don't!" Gu Nian laughed.

She was exhausted from hitting him.

In her opinion, if Gao Dazhuang were to become a spy, she doubted she could extract any information from him through torture.

"You brat, what kind of poison did you feed me?" The pill took effect very quickly after he swallowed it, and Gao Dazhuang was already feeling the pain in his heart.

It felt like a huge rock was hitting his heart repeatedly.

"You, you're trying to poison people!" Zhang Dahu said tremblingly.

"What? You want to try it too? Let's go all the way and poison you all!" Gu Nian looked at Zhang Dahu.

Zhang Dahu shut his mouth and stopped talking.

Gu Hui took another whip, but she didn't know how to use it, so she asked Gu Nian to teach her.

The two then used Gao Erzhuang as their teaching subject.

Gao Erzhuang, the second son of Zhang Dahu's maternal uncle, had long coveted Gu Hui. He asked his aunt, Zhang Dahu's mother, to propose marriage to the Gu family twice, but both attempts failed.

One time, Gu Hui didn't like it, and the next time Grandma Gu saw it, she disliked it even more.

Grandma Gu's assessment of Gao Erzhuang was that he had shifty eyes, looked fierce, and had a bad reputation. She said that the eldest daughter's family must be blinded by greed to want to marry their daughter to such a person.

"Sister, let me put some ants on Zhang Xiaohu! He used to catch bugs and bite me," Gu En said, seeing a number of ants on the ground.

Gu Nian looked down at the ground and saw that they were just ordinary ants, so she didn't say anything to stop them.

Gu Hui was even less likely to say anything.

The group had a common goal: to target Zhang Dahu and his brother, as well as Gao Erzhuang. As for Gao Dazhuang, he was suffering from angina and wouldn't recover anytime soon. The other Gao brothers were shrewd and kept quiet, thus escaping unscathed.
