Chapter 9 You've Lost Your Father Now (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Taking advantage of the wild boar herd leaving, the villagers snatched Xu Yuanlong, who had lost a leg and was covered in blood, and brought him down the mountain.
Xu Yuanlong's body was placed in the yard. Wang Xiuzhi lay on the ground and almost fainted from crying. Of her three children, Xu Yuanlong was the one she loved the most.
“My son, why don’t you listen to me? Those wild boars are dangerous creatures; you can’t possibly defeat them.”
“I advised you before, but you didn’t care about your own safety just so that Xu Qingmo could have a bite of meat. It’s all that wretched girl’s fault. She won’t eat cornbread or cornbread, she only eats white flour buns and meat. Who can afford to feed her like that!”
As she spoke, Wang Xiuzhi became increasingly agitated.
Her crying was so loud that it attracted many villagers to come and watch.
Finally seeing Wang Xiuzhi in trouble, someone couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks, "Didn't you, Wang Xiuzhi, always say that your family only ate white flour buns and meat? Everything else was too spicy for your throat. Now why are you blaming it on Xu Qingmo, a picky eater?"
"That's right. You've been saying in the village that although you live in the countryside, you live like a city person."
"Your son lost his life in order to maintain a good life. You should blame yourself, Wang Xiuzhi. What does it have to do with Xu Qingmo? How much can such a small child eat?"
The villagers were all talking at once, and not many people felt sorry for Wang Xiuzhi because Xu Yuanlong had died.
Instead, they took the opportunity to mock and ridicule Wang Xiuzhi.
It's just that she's offended almost everyone in the village over the years.
Many people were just waiting for her family to suffer.
"Get out! All of you get out!" Wang Xiuzhi picked up a basin of dirty water and threw it at the people outside.
The villagers felt it was inappropriate to stay and watch the play any longer, so they all hurried home.
Wang Xiuzhi's crying continued in the courtyard.
Xu Qingmo picked at her ear and walked out of the main room. Wang Xiuzhi, disregarding her fear, pointed at her and cursed her as a jinx.
"It's all because of you. Otherwise, my son wouldn't have died. Now that you've lost your father, are you satisfied?" Wang Xiuzhi cursed fiercely.
Xu Qingmo glanced at her indifferently, ignoring the woman who had just lost her son.
He intentionally reminded him, "Xu Yuanlong has a mountain of debt outside, and the debt collectors are coming soon. Think about how you're going to deal with it."
After saying that, Xu Qingmo left.
Wang Xiuzhi didn't dare to stop her, and cursed at her back, wishing she would die outside.
As for what Xu Qingmo said before leaving, Wang Xiuzhi didn't take it to heart at all.
Half an hour later, sure enough, five or six thugs from the neighboring village pushed open the door to Xu Yuanlong's house.
They barged in, caught sight of the corpse in the yard, and frowned. "It really is dead. What bad luck. Where are we going to get our money back?"
With his head shaved, he scratched his smooth bald head in frustration.
"I heard before that they married a city girl and their life is getting better and better. There must be valuable things in the house. Let's go and search around and take whatever is valuable."
"Hurry up, hurry up, be quick!"
Several thugs swarmed in and ransacked the house, putting away the valuables and leaving the worthless ones aside.
The sound of things being smashed came from inside the house.
"Damn it! My son is dead, and you still come to my house to steal things. Is there no law here? Help! Help! There are thieves in our house!"
No matter how much Wang Xiuzhi shouted, the passing villagers pretended not to hear her.
Some busybodies even gathered together to discuss the changes in Wang Xiuzhi's family.
They laughed at her for being so arrogant before, saying that finally some bad guys had come to take care of her.
On the other side, Xu Qingmo climbed up the back mountain, drawn by the smell of blood.
She wasn't seeking revenge for Xu Yuanlong; she was simply hungry.
Wang Xiuzhi's family had almost run out of food, and she didn't have much money in her pocket, so it was impossible for her to buy grain and meat.
Before leaving, Wang Jing left her a lot of spiritual spring water. She would make herself a cup of malted milk powder with every meal money. Not only did all her injuries heal, but her body also became stronger and stronger.
Although she can only use 30% of her fire-based abilities for now, killing an adult wild boar shouldn't be a big problem.
Xu Qingmo followed the scent of blood up the mountain. She climbed up a tree and gazed into the distance.
More than ten wild boars, of various sizes, appeared from behind a thicket of bushes.
Xu Qingmo selected a medium-sized wild boar weighing about 100 pounds, broke off a stick, and jumped down from the tree.
Her small body was incredibly agile. She charged towards the herd of wild boars, leaped onto the back of one of the hundred-pound boars, and plunged the wooden stick in her hand directly into the boar's eye.
The wild boar howled in pain as it carried Xu Qingmo and ran at full speed.
Xu Qingmo grabbed the wild boar's ears with both hands and leaned against its back to steady herself.
Seeing their companion being attacked, the wild boars behind them all chased after them on all fours.
With a few 'thuds', the wild boar behind was startled by the flames that appeared in mid-air and stopped in its tracks. The wild boars following behind did not notice what was happening in front and crashed directly into the wild boar in front.
A chorus of wails erupted behind him.
Xu Qingmo reached out her small hand and pulled the stick out of the wild boar's eye. Blood splattered all over the ground. She then inserted the stick into the other eye, this time even deeper.
She grabbed the wild boar by the ear and manipulated it to crash into a nearby tree.
"Thump!" The wild boar crashed headfirst into a large tree next to it, let out a mournful cry, and fell into a pool of blood.
The wild boar was completely blind and lay on the ground, panting heavily.
Xu Qingmo jumped to the ground and pulled the wild boar by its hind legs down the mountain.
Along the way, the villagers saw a small person leading back a wild boar as big as a small mountain.
Even if this wild boar wasn't an adult, its size meant that even a strong, able-bodied man might not be able to kill it and drag it home by himself.
Xu Qingmo had only been gone for about an hour when she appeared at Wang Xiuzhi's door. The door was ajar, and from inside came a man's questioning voice and Wang Xiuzhi's cursing.
She placed the wild boar at the doorway, walked over, pushed the door open, and dragged the boar into the yard.
In an instant, the arguing in the courtyard ceased completely.
The thugs from the neighboring village were still there. They searched the house for a while but found nothing of value, so they interrogated Wang Xiuzhi about where her valuables were.
Wang Xiuzhi was already annoyed, and being questioned by the bald man made her even angrier. She jumped up and scratched his face. She was then restrained by the bald man's henchmen, who threatened her that if she didn't help him pay back the money, she would make Xu Yuanlong's debt known to everyone.
Wang Xiuzhi was terrified that the villagers would find out about this. Xu Yuanlong was now dead, and there was no way to verify the facts, so she planned to renege on her debt.
The sound of the door opening attracted a lot of people. Wang Xiuzhi noticed that Xu Qingmo had brought back a wild boar, and was so shocked that she forgot how to curse.
The bald man ignored the pain on his face and stared at the wild boar, which was two or three times larger than Xu Qingmo, his eyes seeing stars.
It's been so long since I've had meat, I'm taking this wild boar!
