Mu Yang, who had initially noticed the girl's clothes and had a somewhat complicated expression, was startled when he heard his grandmother say those words. He subconsciously looked up and saw Qin Qing with a gentle smile, and his younger sister looking firm and adorable...
For some reason, the sympathy he had just felt vanished. His grandmother had indeed become better and more mysterious. He then looked at the little girl and frowned.
He doesn't like people who treat his family badly either!
Seeing the three quickly walk into a corner of the dilapidated temple, and no one paying attention to her, the little girl's eyes flashed with embarrassment. She ignored them and went to find a place to rest.
I don't know how much time passed, but the sky began to lighten, and the air was even colder in the early morning.
A burly man with a thick beard quickly ran into the dilapidated temple, complaining rudely!
"What the hell is this weather? I'm freezing to death!"
He had just finished speaking when he felt a faint warmth coming from behind him. Perhaps he was too cold and was more sensitive to warmth. He turned around in surprise and went in. What he saw was an old woman, a young woman, and three babies.
Then, the burly man chuckled, staring at Zhang He with a lewd look, and slowly approached.
"Thump!"
A sharp pain in her waist jolted Qin Qing awake. She opened her eyes to find a burly man with a fierce expression staring at her!
"You old hag, take these brats and get out of here!"
The angry shouts startled the three little ones and Zhang He, who were sleeping beside him, and they stared in horror at the burly man in front of them!
Upon seeing this, the burly man's eyes immediately fixed on Zhang He.
"Hehe! Little lady, are you cold? Let me warm you up!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang He's face turned pale instantly. She instinctively stepped back, looking at him with terrified eyes. Then, she glanced around pleadingly, realizing that she and her child were no match for the burly man before them...
Qin Qing snapped out of her drowsiness and looked at the burly man in front of her. She was furious. Did he want to bully her daughter-in-law? Had he even asked her?
Instinctively, she grabbed a thick wooden stick from the side and swung it hard at the burly man. Perhaps not expecting an old woman like her to have such courage, the burly man was knocked to the ground! He clutched the back of his head, his eyes bloodshot, and howled loudly!
"Ah! You old hag, I'll kill you!"
A wave of furious killing intent washed over him, and Qin Qing instantly snapped back to reality, shouting at the group!
"Run!"
She then swung the wooden stick in her hand and hit the burly man hard. Perhaps because she had been lazy for many years, the burly man pushed her back, and she fell to the ground. Before she could resist, she was slapped so hard that her vision went black.
Xiao Muyang, who had just run to the entrance of the dilapidated temple, heard the sound and turned around to see this scene. His heart jumped into his throat, and his eyes were blank. He had finally obtained a peaceful life. Was it going to disappear like this?
At this moment, the burly man seemed to have thought of something. He turned to look at the three children at the door, took a big step forward, and grabbed Xiao Muyang. Xiao Muxing and Muyue were so frightened that they trembled all over and burst into tears.
The crying instantly cleared Qin Qing's slightly dizzy mind!
The next second, she heard something that shocked her so much that she questioned her existence!
"Little kids? Haha! It's been so long since I've had any meat. Once I'm done enjoying myself, I'll roast you all!"
Qin Qing immediately stiffened, the pain on her face and the metallic taste of blood in her mouth unable to conceal the shock in her eyes.
Cannibalism?
He actually ate people? A surge of anger rose in her heart. Looking at the burly man's expectant and greedy eyes, it was clear that this was not the first time he had eaten people, and now he even wanted to humiliate her daughter-in-law!
This is intolerable! Such scum... such scum deserve to go to hell!!!
She looked at the burly man's back with anger and trembling. He had tied up the three little ones and was walking towards Zhang He with a lewd look in his eyes.
Anger welled up inside her. She stretched out one hand and instantly felt a cold, familiar touch in her palm. Without saying a word, just as he was taking off his pants, Qin Qing suddenly rushed forward!
The scalpel in her hand sliced across the burly man's neck, and blood gushed out like a fountain, splattering all over Zhang He's face. Terrified, she stared at the scene in shock, her body trembling even more violently. The three little ones, who were tied up to the side, sat there dumbfounded on the ground, witnessing such a bloody scene for the first time in their lives.
The girl in the corner also stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that the old woman had such strength.
Looking at the burly man lying on the ground, his eyes wide open in death and his expression of shock, Qin Qing finally came to her senses and realized what she had done. Her face turned pale instantly, and her hand holding the scalpel trembled uncontrollably.
She killed someone!
It was her scalpel that she used!
As a doctor, she was better at treating external injuries, but she had never killed anyone. The scalpel was a gift from her mentor when she graduated.
It's always been sitting at home, never used! But just now, perhaps out of anger, she instinctively pulled out a scalpel from her spatial storage and used it as a weapon, severing the burly man's carotid artery and watching him fall into a pool of blood…
After struggling for a long time, it finally stopped breathing!
She stood frozen in place, and with a forceful pull, the scalpel quickly retracted into her spatial storage, but everything before her eyes was already set in stone!
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and everyone was frozen in place. After a moment, a pair of small hands tightly grasped her fingers. Mu Yang had somehow managed to break free of the straw rope. She was startled and looked down at him.
Xiao Muyang pursed his lips, his expression resolute and restrained! He then let out a clear shout!
"Grandma, don't be afraid! Muyang will protect you!"
The little boy calmly uttered such an unbelievable promise, but it pulled Qin Qing back from the brink of collapse.
She bent down and gently hugged the little boy, feeling his slight trembling, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
The stalemate continued for a moment, and then Zhang He moved. Although she couldn't get over what had just happened, she knew that if her mother-in-law hadn't made a move, she and her child would have died after being humiliated!
"Mother, this isn't your fault! In these chaotic times, we should have understood long ago!"
One sentence struck Qin Qing like a thunderbolt, a sudden realization. Yes, this was ancient times, a time of war, natural disasters, and man-made calamities. If she didn't become strong, how could she protect her grandson and daughter-in-law?
She got up, but her legs were sore and she fell to the ground. Zhang He quickly went over and Xiao Muyang reached out to help her up.
Qin Qing waved his hand, his mind racing, and took a deep breath!
"Let's get out of here immediately!"
He then looked at the blood on his hands and frantically wiped it away. This scene brought tears to Mu Yang's eyes... He had completely accepted his grandmother in his heart!
It's all because he's too weak. If he were strong enough, he could protect his grandmother, mother, and sister.
At this moment, Mu Yang sent Mu Xing and Mu Yue away, but the two little ones suddenly pounced on Qin Qing, who was frantically wiping his hands, and their childish and frightened sobs echoed throughout the dilapidated temple.
"Grandma! Grandma isn't afraid, not even the stars!"
"And there's Yueyue, Yueyue isn't afraid, Grandma isn't in pain!"
The young girl thought Qin Qing was also injured and hugged her with heartache, which made Qin Qing feel a pang of sadness.
