"I'll talk, I'll talk, please stop!" Lu Dashan couldn't bear the pain.

He begged for mercy repeatedly, his back arched from the pain, his face pale, and he looked like a frozen shrimp.

Stop? Su Jiaoniang couldn't do it.

His hands were still busy, slicing off a few more pieces of meat. The man who had climbed out of the pond felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't bear to watch any longer. He began to speak up for Lu Dashan: "Sister Su, what's wrong? Let Dashan finish speaking first. If this drags on, it's a small matter if Lu Dashan dies from the pain, but your business will be delayed..."

Su Jiaoniang stopped holding the knife.

Staring at the blood on the ground, he smiled and looked at Lu Dashan: "Oh, you want to say something? What do you want to say?"

As she spoke, she gestured with the knife in her hand towards Lu Dashan, seemingly considering whether it would look better to cut a piece of flesh off his face.

Lu Dashan shuddered and opened his mouth to say, "Futu was taken away by the mountain people. Those mountain people live deep in the mountains. I only learned by chance that they lacked sons and wanted to adopt a smart and good-looking one to raise. You also want to remarry, but it's not easy to remarry with a child. I'm doing this for your sake."

As soon as Lu Dashan finished speaking, Su Jiaoniang plunged her knife directly into Lu Dashan's flesh.

People along the river pointed and whispered about Su Jiaoniang, especially about her remarriage. She remarried right after news of Lu Wujiu's death, and the way people looked at her was incredibly sarcastic.

Su Jiaoniang stared at Lu Dashan, a smirk playing on her lips. How could someone be so shameless! When did she ever think of remarrying?

Since that's the case, he might as well lose all face.

The knife sliced ​​across Lu Dashan's face, leaving the once honest-looking man's face covered in blood.

At first glance, it even looks somewhat terrifying.

According to later laws, such a child trafficker deserves to die. She wouldn't kill directly; she always kept her identity in mind. But if such a person and such behavior are not punished, they might go to hell.

"Where is my son?" Su Jiaoniang continued to ask.

Lu Dashan was in so much pain he almost fainted. He looked for help at the men bathing by the river. If he could just get away from this madman, he wouldn't have to endure it anymore.

However, the aura emanating from Su Jiaoniang at this moment frightened the group of people.

Who dares to meddle in other people's family affairs?

"Speak up, you're so good at talking, remarrying? If I wanted to remarry, would I need you to sell your son? If I wanted to remarry, with this face, I could leave the whole family without having to sell my son." Su Jiaoniang's knife slid past Lu Dashan's ear, the cold blade landing on his ear.

"I...I really don't know!" Lu Dashan cried, tears streaming down his face from his wound. The piercing pain made him cry even louder, tears streaming down his face as he pleaded for help from those around him.

The villagers, upon hearing the two's words, finally understood why this had happened. It turned out that Lu Dashan had secretly sold Su's son and falsely accused Su of remarrying. Just imagining it made them furious. In this situation, who would help Lu Dashan? Nobody was stupid!

Someone looked at Su Jiaoniang and said, "Su sister, do you want to go up the mountain to check if we can run fast enough? Maybe we can still find someone. As for Lu Dashan, we'll deal with that after we've dealt with this. Killing him now won't do you any good."

Su Jiaoniang ignored him and looked down at Lu Dashan: "Now, don't you know?"

"I don't know!" Lu Dashan gritted his teeth, blood streaming down his face, his ears ringing, but under such multiple pains, he couldn't faint at all and could only passively endure the suffering.

Su Jiaoniang's gaze fell on Lu Dashan's nose, and she spoke softly, her voice filled with icy coldness: "It's said that cutting off a nose won't kill you, and cutting off an ear won't kill you immediately either. Shall we give it a try?"

Lu Dashan was terrified.

This person is a madman, a complete madman!

She's courting death. Lu Dashan felt a pang of regret; he should have chosen someone else to do it.

"Those mountain people are like rats, even the officials can't find a place to stay, how could I possibly have a solution? If you want to kill them, then kill them, what's the point of torturing them like this?" If he had known, he would have said it long ago, who would want to endure this kind of punishment.

Seeing that Lu Dashan didn't seem to be faking it, Su Jiaoniang quickly realized that now was not the time to act rashly; what she needed to do right now was to find her child.

The pagoda is gone, but what about immortality? Su Jiaoniang glanced at the vast mountains behind her.

Seeing Su Jiaoniang's intense focus on Lu Futu, most people immediately realized that Lu Dashan was the one lying. If he really wanted to sell his son to get him married, why would he be searching so frantically?

"Don't be afraid, sister. It's just about finding the mountain people. Let's go ask Gu Lin's family. He hunts all day and lives in the mountains. He knows the most about the mountain people." The people bathing by the river couldn't bear to see Su Jiaoniang so down and offered to help with the search.

Some people cursed and cursed Lu Dashan: "When the third brother was at home, he treated you well, but he couldn't even tolerate an orphan and a widow. He's a real ingrate."

"That's right. Back when we were fighting against the Great Qi, they could have exempted Lu Daishu from enlistment by paying him five taels of silver, but the Lu family was rich and focused on Lu Daishu's education. Such a fine young man lost his life because of this."

"Back then, Lu Dashan's life was saved from the mountains by Lu Laosan, and Xiao Futu was his own nephew. And yet, he was sold to the mountain people just like that, truly..."

All around him were voices cursing and insulting Lu Dashan.

Lu Dashan wished he could faint at this moment. The good reputation he had built up in the village over the years was now gone, completely gone. Everyone said that family scandals should not be aired in public, but who knew that this crazy woman would not care about the Lu family's reputation at all. He hated Su Jiaoniang to death at this moment.

"I'll go to the hunter's house right now and ask him." Su Jiaoniang got up, kicked Lu Dashan, and ran towards the village.
