"You slut, the fact that I'm willing to sleep with you is a blessing you've accumulated over eight lifetimes, and you still dare to lay a hand on me!"
The man, whose face was scratched with two bloody marks, was like a ferocious beast, with one hand gripping the neck of the woman beneath him.
"Bang, bang!"
Two heavy punches landed on the woman's face beneath him.
Moonlight streamed through the windowpanes into the dilapidated thatched hut, while a cold wind howled, making the already crumbling hut appear even more desolate.
The woman lying on the bed, at the mercy of her lover, had already fainted, with bright red blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, while the man on top of her showed her no pity whatsoever.
They continued to roughly tear at her clothes.
Not far away, a little boy, only four or five years old, struggled to his feet, clenched his weak little fists, and lunged at the man who was committing violence.
"You bastard, let go of my mother!"
The man was in the throes of passion and couldn't tolerate the little brat causing trouble. He shoved the annoying brat away and continued tearing at the woman's clothes beneath him.
The little boy watched as his mother was about to be bullied. Even though the pain in his body made it feel like his bones were breaking, he still held back his tears and crawled towards the man little by little.
Using all her strength, she bit down hard on his calf.
The man winced in pain and grabbed the little guy whose teeth were already stained with blood, his face full of anger at having his good time interrupted.
"Slap! Slap!"
He slapped the little guy twice hard, still not satisfied.
He spat on the ground with a fierce expression.
He slammed the little thing that dared to ruin his plans against the corner of the wall.
"You little bastard, you dare to bite me? I'll kill you."
The little guy was slammed against the wall, vomited a mouthful of blood, and his body went limp like a noodle as he slid down from the corner.
Even though she was already breathing more air than she was taking in, her eyes were still fixed on the man.
He kept muttering to himself.
"Don't bully Mother, don't..."
She couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
Lin Jiujiu saw this scene as soon as she opened her eyes.
She felt a stinging sensation in her eyes, and before she could even process what was happening, her body had already sprung into action before her mind could process it.
She kicked the man off her and then turned and rushed toward the little guy lying in the corner.
Lin Jiujiu couldn't understand why she had come back to life when she was clearly dead.
But she can't care about that anymore.
Seeing the little one in her arms, whose breath was almost nonexistent, she felt a tightness in her throat and a pain in her heart as if a piece of it had been ripped out.
The pain was so intense that she could barely breathe.
Lin Jiujiu carefully picked up the child.
Just as she was wondering if there was any hope for the child, someone grabbed her hair from behind.
The man's hideous face appeared before her.
He had a mouthful of yellow teeth, and as he spoke, a stench that assaulted her senses hit her right in the head.
This person either ate shit or never brushed their teeth since birth; the smell was enough to knock an elephant unconscious.
Lin Jiujiu had to shut down her five senses before she felt a little better.
But the man had no intention of letting her go, glaring at her fiercely.
"You bitch, I've been giving you face, and you still dare to lay a hand on me? I'll beat you to death."
As he increased the pressure in his hand, Lin Jiujiu felt a tightness on her scalp, as if something was impacting her head.
In that short time, she had already learned the whole story.
The man who had just been on top of her was not this body's husband. The original owner's husband had been conscripted for forced labor several years ago and died before even reaching his destination.
This man only wanted to take advantage of her because he thought she was an orphan and a widow, and wanted to take advantage of her in the dead of night.
The original owner had fainted for some unknown reason, almost allowing this disgusting guy to take advantage of her. It was only thanks to the little one in her arms protecting her that she was able to preserve her innocence.
If this person really took advantage of her, wouldn't she be disgusted to death?
Looking at the tiny, lifeless baby in her arms, who seemed on the verge of dying at any moment, Lin Jiujiu had no interest in arguing with the man in front of her.
She held the child in her arms with one hand, twisted her body backward 180 degrees in an eerie posture, and grabbed the man's hand that was pulling her hair.
"Snap!"
The sound of bones breaking echoed throughout the secluded hut.
"ah……"
Immediately afterwards, the man's screams, like those of a pig being slaughtered, echoed from the night.
Lin Jiujiu crippled one of his hands, forcing the man to release Lin Jiujiu's hair.
Holding his severed hand, the man's eyes gleamed with even greater ferocity.
If looks could kill, Lin Jiujiu would probably be dead countless times over.
Before the man could react, Lin Jiujiu gently carried the little one to the bed.
With a flick of her wrist, a pair of silver needles appeared in her sleeve.
Without hesitation, Lin Jiujiu took out silver needles and began to perform acupuncture on the little guy.
She had already noticed when she was holding the little one that the child was too young and had suffered internal damage from being thrown so violently.
Although her personal space, which had accompanied her through countless worlds, contained countless rare and precious materials and high-level healing potions, the little thing's current body was too weak to withstand the effects of the medicine.
If things go wrong, not only might they fail to save the person, but they might also send them to their death.
All she can do now is give him acupuncture to keep him alive, and then slowly think of a solution.
Clearly, that man wouldn't give her that time.
