Chapter 104 Waiting for a Rabbit to Fall into a Trap: The Forest Wolf Anticipates the Egg-Slaughtering Party

Seeing the hand about to touch Anna, Yao Xiaoyu kicked it faster than she thought. The man was forced back two steps by the kick, and looked at Yao Xiaoyu with a somewhat ferocious expression.

What kind of little brat is this, daring to ruin his good deed!

"Hey, you're still not convinced?!"

When Yao Xiaoyu met the man's fierce gaze, she didn't bother with the usual back-and-forth banter. She simply glanced at Tao Xiaoxiao, and her loyal bodyguard rushed forward, slapping the man several meters away. The man, having learned his lesson, glared at Yao Xiaoyu hatefully before scrambling away.

"I forgot to cripple his middle leg before teaching him a lesson."

Tao Xiaoxiao said with some annoyance. Yao Xiaoyu didn't say much, only asking Tao Xiaoxiao to stay up all night with her tonight—they were leaving tomorrow, and men weren't going to let things go easily; they would most likely take action tonight.

If she guessed wrong, at most she would just have to wait one night in the carriage to catch up on her sleep; if she guessed right…

Yao Xiaoyu subconsciously touched the dagger hanging at her waist.

A single punch can ward off a hundred more. Tao Xiaoxiao's slap, combined with Yao Xiaoyu's kick, was quite intimidating. The men who had been tempted to flirt with the patients kept their mouths shut, and their restless hands vanished without a trace. Regardless of what the night would bring, at least during the day, they dared not make any moves.

The main dish for lunch was mutton stew with radish. The mutton, which had been stewed for a long time, had the fragrance of cinnamon. The mutton skin, which should have been hard to chew, was very soft and tender. Not to mention the radish, which had absorbed all the flavor. Everyone who thought they were not picky was almost moved to tears after taking the first bite.

"Since I came here, I've finally had a decent meal."

Anna complained to Jenny in English, and Jenny picked up a large piece of flavorful radish and nodded vigorously.

After a good lunch, everyone's enthusiasm for work in the afternoon was even higher. Even the sudden arrival of a group of patients did not stop them from leaving get off work on time. At dusk, they put all the things they wanted to take with them on the carriage, just waiting to leave without delay the next morning.

A round, large moon hung in the sky. Yao Xiaoyu looked at the starry sky, yawned, and stuffed a piece of dried beef into her mouth to chew and dispel her sleepiness.

She didn't know if they would come, but Yao Xiaoyu had brought a lot of spicy dried beef, enough to eat from dusk till dawn.

"They don't even have a consistent time for doing bad things, no wonder they're not very successful."

Yao Xiaoyu, growing impatient, quietly complained to Tao Xiaoxiao.

While listening to gossip this afternoon, she inquired about the man who had his teeth knocked out this morning, wanting to know the truth about him. Well, he was miserable, but that's no excuse for him to become a scumbag.

If it's understandable to steal food and vegetables to fill one's stomach when one is young because one's parents don't love or care for them, then it's pure evil to try to peep at women bathing when one is too poor to get married, intending to ruin their reputation and then get a wife for free.

Fortunately, God had eyes. The girl was only visiting her family temporarily, and her family was worried about having someone watch over her. They caught the man red-handed, and everyone was on high alert afterward, so they didn't let the man's crazy ideas succeed. He was still a bachelor in his mid-twenties, and every now and then, kind-hearted people would put him in a sack.

Yao Xiaoyu initially thought that knocking out two of the man's teeth was a fair settlement, even though he didn't seem like a petty person. She figured as long as he didn't cause trouble, the matter would be over. But now—

"If he doesn't come tonight, we'll castrate him before we leave tomorrow."

Tao Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously.

...

After his companions fell asleep, Lin Lang quietly got up, opened the door, and waited in a secluded spot. The scissors he carried seemed to be excited as well, and the subtle snips added a touch of coolness to the night.

The aroma of dried beef wafted through the air, and Lin Lang swallowed hard. He planned to catch the man, castrate him, and then ask Yao Xiaoyu for some to try. If it tasted good, she would have another type of dry ration to prepare in the future.

Yes, compared to Yao Xiaoyu, who didn't know if she would wait all night in vain, Lin Lang was much clearer about the man's plans—he would definitely, surely, come, and he would bring his companions with him.

It wasn't that Lin Lang could tell fortunes; it was mainly because she overheard it while following the man.

In the morning, Yao Xiaoyu let the man off the hook, but after a while, Lin Lang found an excuse to leave the medical point and followed the scent and traces to the man's hideout. She could smell the scent left behind by people, and although it couldn't compare to the sense of smell of real animals, it was almost like having a cheat code compared to humans.

When she arrived, the man was drinking with his friends. Lin Lang, whose mouth was so foul, wanted to throw him into a latrine to wash it off. The two of them were completely unaware that there was a third person present, and they were brazenly discussing how to climb over the village chief's wall that night.

Because they were planning to share the good fortune with their good brothers, Lin Lang hadn't made a move yet, intending to wait until the men arrived that night and wipe them all out. After all, these men could distribute the eight of them among themselves and share the good fortune, so of course she wanted them to share the bad.

As the saying goes, if you're going to hit someone, you should be prepared to get hit back. Since they can climb walls, they should be prepared to have their tools confiscated.

She hoped these people would keep their promise. After all, it would be quite a journey to each of them to perform the castration, and she would have to confirm with each one whether they really met the criteria for confiscating the tools. It would be so much better to get it all done at once like this...

What are those little fish eating over there? It smells so sweet.

Lin Lang sighed sadly, feeling that compared to the upcoming egg-eating party, the constant eating of the little fish was more unbearable for her.

Lin Lang relies entirely on intuition to diagnose illnesses. Although she is literate, she only recognizes everyday words like rice and wheat. Words like "dawn breaks," "cherish the scenery," and "hold the jade" are too difficult for her. After Yao Xiaoyu introduced herself, she kept calling her "Little Fish" in her mind.

So why aren't those people here yet!

Lin Lang smelled the changed scent in the air and closed his eyes in despair.

After chewing on the dried cheese and feeling a slightly sweet taste in her mouth, Yao Xiaoyu ate some jujube cake to balance it out: ...

When the moon was high in the sky, the three of them finally saw the hand clinging to the wall. Yao Xiaoyu, who was hiding in the shadows, was so excited that she almost shouted out loud—her cheeks were tired from chewing, and the person had finally arrived!

The person who climbed over the wall was clearly experienced. Yao Xiaoyu counted the figures jumping down: one, two, three, four. Then she turned to look at Tao Xiaoxiao, who was already excited, her eyes saying one thing: I can take on ten of them!

"Put your clothes on before you go."

Yao Xiaoyu grabbed the excited Tao Xiaoxiao and only stopped when she saw that Tao Xiaoxiao had put on a thin cotton-padded coat—Tao Xiaoxiao was a reincarnation of a tyrant, not made of steel. She would still bleed and get hurt if she was cut by a knife, so she had to wear something thicker to increase her defense.

Tao Xiaoxiao couldn't resist Yao Xiaoyu's insistence, so she quickly put on her cotton-padded coat and pounced on the four of them like a tiger unleashed from its cage.

"You little thief dare to cause trouble? Take this punch!"

This was something Yao Xiaoyu had discussed with Tao Xiaoxiao beforehand. Even though the older generation was reserved in having 1.4 billion children, a woman's reputation was still important at this time. If people knew that these men's target was a woman, even if there was no contact between them, some people would still spread rumors and call them thieves, which would be much easier.

However, next time I should remind Xiaoxiao to say something different. We can't let her toes work tirelessly forever. These words can be kept in mind, or at least not let her hear them.

Holding the dagger, Yao Xiaoyu struggled to keep her toes from breaking through her shoes, carving out a three-bedroom, two-living-room structure from the ground.

Tao Xiaoxiao's loud shout not only startled the man but also alerted everyone in the room. Screams erupted almost instantly. Lin Lang rubbed his ears, which had been hit by the double shock, and leaped over to Tao Xiaoxiao's side to help... steal the credit?

Lin Lang looked at the four men standing in front of him—no, now there were only two—with a headache. He deeply regretted not tying them up and forcing them to reveal their names that morning.

They made such a big deal out of it, I thought they could perform mass sterilization, but it turns out there are only a few of them.

Lin Lang sighed inwardly, but his hands moved without hesitation. With a snap of the scissors, a man was killed with a scream. What was that saying again?

The surgery was a success; you're a girl now.

Forget it, these people don't deserve to be called women. Let's just use the usual way of addressing them as "father-in-law"... Wait, losing a couple of ounces of meat doesn't make him a father-in-law, but calling him "father-in-law"... is it a case of sacrificing his testicles to make up for it?!

Lin Lang watched as Yao Xiaoyu grabbed the man's leg and slammed him to the ground like a ramen noodle. After several such slams, he quickly stepped forward to stop her, not because the man deserved it, but because...

"The people inside will be out soon. If those people don't clean up now, it will be difficult to make a move later."

Although they were in the right, Tao Xiaoxiao went too far. It would have been one thing if she had done it when no one was around, but to do it in front of the villagers…

Lin Lang swept his gaze over Number One, who had been punched into the wall, Number Two, who had been kicked into the ground, and Number Three, who had been slapped and spun four times in the air, spitting out seven teeth. He didn't say anything more, but Tao Xiaoxiao nodded knowingly, let go of the leg she was holding, and rushed over quickly.

The three people on the ground stared in horror at Tao Xiaoxiao, who was suddenly charging forward. They deeply regretted listening to the man's instigation, which said that there were eight women, two for each person, and that they could live a carefree and happy life with two women on each side. This was clearly a death trap, a trap that would lead to their demise!

If God gave them another chance, they would beat the man's guts out the moment he called them, but time cannot be turned back, and all they can do is scream themselves hoarse with bloodshot eyes.

"Don't come any closer!"

Taking this opportunity, Lin Lang quietly cut the arms and legs of Number Four, who was lying on the ground like a lump of mud. He also cut the man from the morning. Looking at his shiny new scissors, he smiled with satisfaction.

The final bomb disposal mission is complete!

By the time the people in the room rushed out in a panic, and the villagers who realized something was wrong hurriedly ran over, it was all over. Yao Xiaoyu said that she saw the thief had gone too far, but when the villagers saw those familiar faces, they understood their scheme. Although they were somewhat dissatisfied with Yao Xiaoyu's heavy-handedness, they could only secretly say that she deserved it.

Maria had extensive experience in handling such situations. Although she was also taken aback by the four people who had at least broken limbs and had some flesh cut off, she quickly recovered and even demanded compensation from the village. Her reason was readily available: "We came here to do good deeds, but you can't even guarantee our safety and expect our girls to deal with it themselves."

The villagers naturally couldn't accept this, and the group of four wasn't very popular. After a heated argument, both sides backed down. The villagers used a door panel to take the four away, and Maria, on behalf of everyone, waived the right to compensation. That was the end of the matter.

The next day, Maria led the group onto the carriage amidst the crowd of villagers' gazes, heading to the next village where they would provide medical care. This village was even poorer, but the medical station was set up in a proper house, which was...
