Chapter 71: The Evil Stepmother is Ready to Be Evil to the End (3)
After breakfast, the three Li brothers each carried a basket almost as tall as themselves, and, driven by Muyan, walked towards Niu'an Mountain at the east end of the village.
Niu'an Mountain is covered with lush trees and overgrown weeds, making it very easy for people to get lost there. In addition, there are strange noises on the mountain all year round, so almost no one in the village dares to go up there.
Li Da grew up in the village and knew how dangerous Niu'an Mountain was. As he got closer and closer to the foot of Niu'an Mountain, Li Da's murderous intent grew stronger and stronger.
If she dared to let them into Niu'an Mountain, he would kill her with the sickle in the basket, and then throw her into the mountain to be eaten by big beasts.
She had such a bad reputation in the village that when someone asked him about it, he would just say that she had abandoned them and ran away, and no one would ask where she had gone.
When Li Da thought of the scene of Mu Yan dying under his sickle, he suddenly felt an inexplicable pleasure in his heart.
Behind him, Li Er, who was walking leisurely as if he was sightseeing, had already thought of several ways to kill Mu Yan.
He had sneaked into Niu'an Mountain several times before. There was nothing special about it except that there were more snakes, insects, rats and ants there and they were bigger than on other mountains.
Li Er recalled the first time he went up the mountain and encountered a spotted snake as thick as his arm. It was his first time eating snake meat. To be honest, it was not very delicious. He even vomited several times, but in the end he insisted on finishing it.
Because when he saw the snake being gutted and roasted over the fire, he thought of that vicious woman.
Sooner or later, that woman will be treated like this by him.
Unexpectedly, his wish is about to come true today.
Li Er's leisurely pace became more cheerful. How could such good news make people happy?
Soon, they arrived at the foot of Niu'an Mountain, and Li Da, who was walking in front, stopped first.
"Who told you to stop?" Mu Yan walked from the back position to Li Da with a cattle whip, looked at him expressionlessly and asked.
Because of Mu Yan's approach, Li Da felt an urge to try. This distance was enough for him to take out the sickle from the basket behind him and chop her neck.
Just as he was about to move his hands, Li Er's cheerful voice came from behind him.
"Brother, I'm asking you a question. Why did you stop?" He knew that Li Da had picked up the sickle that he had sharpened for a long time today, and he probably guessed what he wanted to do, but the woman was so strong that even if the three of them attacked together, they might not be able to subdue her.
No one will go into Niu'anshan, but that doesn't mean there are no villagers around.
If they were discovered, the three of them would be finished.
He couldn't let Li Da take this risk, so he had to go into the mountains before taking action. He had to make sure that there would be no mistakes.
Li Da's restlessness was extinguished by Li Er's sudden words, so he could only speak the truth.
"Niu'an Mountain is dangerous, we can't go in," Li Da hadn't finished speaking when Mu Yan kicked him into the grass by the roadside.
"Go wherever I tell you to go. If you say another word, I'll beat you to death," Mu Yan said angrily, pointing at Li who was lying in the grass with a cattle whip in his hand.
Li Da lay on his back in the grass in a mess, with a painful expression on his face. He felt that every breath he took caused pain in his internal organs.
Li Er and Li San squatted beside him. Seeing that he looked in pain, they didn't dare to touch him for fear of hurting him. They could only watch with worried eyes.
Wanzai: "Boss, friendly reminder, if that kick had hit his stomach, he probably wouldn't have survived the night."
Mu Yan: "Do I need you to teach me this?"
Wanzai: "I'm the one who talks too much, I'm rude, I hit myself," xxxxxxxx.
Muyan took two steps to the bushes, grabbed Li Da's collar with one hand and lifted him up, then turned him around and kicked him in the butt.
"ah,"
Li Da cried out in pain, and his body was kicked by her and he took two steps forward uncontrollably before stopping.
The pain in his chest had just eased a little, but now his butt started to hurt again.
"Let's go!" Mu Yan said in a cold and hard tone.
Li Er pulled Li San across the dusk and walked forward. When they reached Li Da, the two of them supported the injured Li Da and walked up Niu'an Mountain.
Wanzai: "Is he sick? He could have gone into the mountains safely, but he had to be beaten before he would go in."
Muyan ignored Wanzi's complaints, swinging the cattle whip in her hand, and followed the three people slowly.
After entering the mountain, Muyan picked three small-leafed grasses and handed them to the three people in front of her.
"This morning, each of you pick 30 kilograms of this grass for me. The rest can be left here for me." The family is very poor, and she has to let the three little bastards earn money to improve her living conditions.
Because of the two kicks that Li Da received at the foot of the mountain as a deterrent, after Mu Yan finished speaking, the three of them each picked up a piece of grass as a reference without saying a word, and silently turned around to pick herbs.
Muyan found an old tree, lay down on the thick trunk, crossed her legs leisurely, closed her eyes and rested.
An hour later, Li Er, who was under the tree, looked up at the person lying on the tree several times and confirmed that she was asleep.
He waved to the other two people who were busy looking for herbs. The two of them carefully looked up at the person in the tree. Seeing that she had her eyes closed, they gently raised their feet and walked towards Li Er.
"In a moment, I will use a stone to smash her under the tree. As soon as she falls, the two of you will rush over and hold her down, and then..." The three of them squatted in a circle in the grass, and Li Er quietly assigned tasks to the two of them.
Wanzai: "It seems they really hate you. Look how excited the other two were when Li Er said he would give you a sickle."
Mu Yan: "Tell me, should I bounce the stone back to him, or should I just go down and kick him before he throws it?"
Maruzai: ...as long as you are happy.
After the three people under the tree discussed it, they waited quietly for a while. After making sure that there was no movement on the tree, Li Da and Li San stood under the tree, ready to pounce on the person, just waiting for the person under the tree to fall, and then they would pounce on him.
Li Er walked to a place farther away from the tree, found a pointed stone, and after finding a good position, he waved to the two people under the tree.
Li Er took a step back with his left leg, bent his right leg forward, steadied his body, and gathered all his strength into his right hand. He threw out a stone carrying the hopes of three people.
But what he didn't expect was that when the stone was about to fall on the person in the tree, it bounced back for no reason.
"ah,"
The stone hit Li Er's shoulder.
He bent over in pain and knelt on the ground.
Mu Yan glanced towards the tree with contempt, and saw Li Er kneeling on the ground holding his arm, grimacing in pain. She rolled her eyes in disgust.
Rubbish!
