The Wang brothers followed with great fanfare, and Jiang Zhi and the others also swaggered along without any fear.
Between these two groups, there were other people traveling together. In Bajun, the roads traverse mountains, and it is common for wild animals and human enemies to cause trouble, so everyone prefers to travel in groups.

After crossing a mountain, everyone rested and the villagers gradually dispersed, and the Wang brothers caught up with them.
At this moment, Jiang Zhi and the others remained by the rocks, sharing a piece of dry bread among themselves.
Hiking on mountain trails is tiring, so you can rest and eat some dry food and drink some water whenever you want to regain your strength.
"Granny Jiang, why did you hit my youngest sister?" Old Master Wang shouted, panting heavily as he pointed at Jiang Zhi.
Xu Errui immediately jumped out to protect his mother: "Your sister tried to steal things, she has no manners and deserves to be beaten!"
Wang Lao Er also came over, sleeves rolled up, and said aggressively, "What my Wang family does is none of your business, an outsider. I'm going to fight back now!"
Xiaoman beckoned: "Come on, enough talk, if you want to fight, come over here!"
Two spirited young men blocked their way, but Jiang Zhi didn't even raise an eyebrow. She simply said slowly, "I say, Wang brothers, you haven't tasted the bitterness yet!"
When the bandits were robbing people in town, did you manage to defeat them?
Let me make this clear: the fact that we're standing here talking means we've seen blood!
The eldest son of the Wang family's face changed slightly, and his anger subsided.
Back then, the father and his two sons faced off against the marauding soldiers in Pear Blossom Town and almost lost half their lives. They only survived by hiding in a corner of the wall.
They watched helplessly as several families' daughters were dragged away, and many others were robbed of everything.
The bandits and rebel soldiers came from Xujia Village to Lihua Town. The fact that Jiang Zhi and the others were able to stand here unharmed means there must be something going on.
Old Wang hesitated, displeased, and tried to find an explanation with a dark expression.
Meanwhile, Wang Lao Er, the clueless one, had already started fighting with Xiao Man, cursing under his breath: "I don't believe you, a green-bottomed kid who hasn't even gotten a yolk, have any skills!"
Xiaoman's weapon has changed again; it's now a nunchaku, which the medical shed made for her.
He roared, brandishing a two-foot-long wooden stick, "I'll smash your turtle head open!"
The second son of the Wang family didn't expect that Xiaoman, with her green buttocks, would actually do something like that, and he got hit on the head with a stick.
Although the Wang brothers were tall and strong, they were carpenters, not fighters, unlike Xiaoman who had learned martial arts.
A true expert's skill is immediately apparent.
Compared to her previous recklessness and life-or-death duels, Xiaoman is now able to accurately control her strength.
When he swung his double-sectioned oak club, he would only knock out large blisters, no longer randomly cracking open people's skulls.
With a loud "bong," Wang Lao Er immediately covered his head and retreated.
Without even thinking, Xiaoman followed closely with her wooden stick, and with a kick, Wang Lao Er's big body fell to the ground. The fight ended in just two moves.
All that was left was Xiaoman straddling him and pounding him: "What the hell are you yelling for! Get up and hit me!"
Wang Lao Er, clutching his throbbing head with one hand and howling, struggled with Xiao Man with the other, yelling, "Ouch! Mother! Someone's been killed! Someone's been killed!"
On the other side, when Wang Laoda saw his brother being taken advantage of, he quickly stepped forward to fight him two against one, but was stopped by Xu Errui.
Xiaoman and Errui react differently because of their different personalities.
Xiaoman is impulsive and likes to be the first, while Errui is steady and usually stays behind.
Now that Xiaoman has knocked down the second son of the Wang family, Xu Errui is standing in front of the eldest son of the Wang family.
Although he had grown taller that year, he was still thinner and shorter than Wang, who was ten years older. The difference in height was immediately apparent when the two stood together.
Because of his nervousness, Xu Errui stammered, "Brother Wang, this really isn't our fault. If you don't know the answer, just... just go back to town and ask around!"
"I don't want to know!"
The eldest son of the Wang family became anxious when he saw his younger brother being pinned to the ground and beaten by Xiaoman.
He grabbed at Xu Errui, trying to push away the young man who was half a head shorter than him.
But the next second, he froze...
With a knife pressed against his stomach, Xu Errui gritted his teeth, his eyes red, and said, word by word, "If you dare to move again, I'll stab you in!"
He didn't say much, but his blood-stained murderous aura was unmistakable, even more ferocious than the bandits who robbed Pear Blossom Town that night.
Boss Wang almost peed himself: "No, don't move, brother, don't move, let's talk this out!"
He also carried an axe, but he didn't expect Xu Errui to do this right away. His axe was still tucked into his waistband and he hadn't taken it out.
This is in the mountains; if you stab yourself in the stomach and can't get back to town, you'll die.
Little did he know that the seemingly listless Xu Errui was different from the boisterous Xiaoman; he was someone who had actually wielded a knife and killed people.
The Wang brothers had been street bullies in town since they were young, but they never expected to run into two tough guys from the village.
The crooked fear the wicked, and the wicked fear the reckless.
The Wang brothers, having suffered the consequences of being underestimated, immediately lost their arrogance.
Wang's second son, who was being beaten by Xiaoman, didn't dare to move when he saw his brother being held at knifepoint, and let Xiaoman punch him twice before stopping.
Not only did the Wang brothers misjudge the situation, but the rapid changes in the situation also caught Jiang Zhi off guard.
She figured that if Xiaoman and Errui encountered the street thugs, they would have to go up and down and circle around a few times before she could finally bring Tiangui and Li Laoshi to the scene to settle things.
I didn't expect it to end like this.
Jiang Zhi was dumbfounded, and Tian Gui next to her was also dumbfounded.
After leaving the town, he heard Li Laoshi talk about being slapped in town, and he thought that if the Wang family didn't behave, he would definitely help Jiang's wife and Xiaoman.
But before he could even make a move, the fight stopped.
Xu Errui moved the knife from Wang Laoda's stomach to his neck and said coldly, "Your sister robbed people in the street, did you know that?"
The eldest son of the Wang family shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know!"
"I don't know what you're trying to do by following us here?" Xu Errui continued.
Boss Wang swallowed hard, glanced at the knife to his neck, and forced a bitter smile: "I heard Xiaoju say that you bullied her and even hit someone, so I wanted to come and teach you a lesson."
"Tell the truth!" Xiaoman said, pinching her own penis.
Wang Lao Er also defended himself: "Xiao Ju said that her in-laws were helping outsiders to bully her, which is why my family let her come back. Now you are bullying her again in town, we...we."
Jiang Zhi finally spoke up: "You can ask the villagers what she did with Xu Genbao."
She was trying to extort money from Xiaoman's family's paddy fields. Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law didn't lie to her, so she started making a fuss about dividing the family property.
You're her brothers, from the same family, you should know her true nature.
The Wang brothers refused to admit their mistake so easily: "What you say doesn't count. I need to go back and ask around to find out. If you're right, I'll apologize."
An apology, and that's it...
Jiang Zhi squinted, trying to find a safe way to eliminate the potential risks.
Just then, another group of people heading to the market came through the woods from not far away.
After turning the corner, they were right in front of them. Seeing the fight going on, they immediately ran away, while some bolder people stood at a distance and watched.
