"Look at you, I've told you not to mess with the Qian family. They're ruthless. Why don't you learn your lesson? You're a grown man and you can't even beat a seven-year-old girl. Isn't that embarrassing enough?"
He looked at his grandparents and mother with a pitiful expression. His grandparents shut their mouths, and his mother lowered her head as if she couldn't see how badly he had been beaten. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood. These were his grandparents and parents?
In the past, whenever he was wronged, his grandma and his mother would go to the other family to make a scene, and they wouldn't be satisfied until they paid him a few eggs. Why was it different when it came to Qian Erdan's family? At that moment, he even hated his own grandparents and parents.
There's a real reason for this. The Wang family came here after fleeing famine, while the Qian family is a local household. Many families in the village are related by blood, so if one of them suffers a grievance, they would want half the village to stand up for them. They are not people you can afford to offend.
And that little brat from the Qian family, don't be fooled by his seemingly insignificant nature, he's not particularly vengeful. I remember a couple of years ago, when that girl was only five years old, Wang Xuewen's father saw Qian Xiao's mother making a few flirtatious remarks, and that little brat dared to beat her up right then and there.
The five-year-old kid's punches were incredibly painful. His reckless fighting style terrified Wang Xuewen's father, especially when he swung a sickle and shaved off the hair on Wang Xuewen's head, which scared him so much that he peed his pants.
He felt like the little brat was aiming for his neck. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he definitely wouldn't be alive today. And that little brat's wolf-like eyes still give him goosebumps when he thinks about them.
Later, when the younger generation of the Qian family came out, they didn't let him off easily either. He had to stay at home for a month before he could get out of bed and walk. After that, he would avoid the Qian family whenever he saw them, for fear that one day he might accidentally end his life at their hands.
The younger brother stammered, bumping into the dazed Wang Xuewen: "B-Big Brother?" My god, Big Brother's eyes are terrifying.
Wang Xuewen glanced at his underling: "Damn it, don't think you can live an easy life after hitting me. I won't rest until I kill her."
As he spoke, he crouched down and carefully walked out of the bushes. His underlings didn't dare to argue with him. This guy was ruthless; if anyone offended him, he would definitely get his revenge.
Last time, he went to a villager's house to steal chickens and got caught and beaten up. He tried to smooth things over, but later that night he set fire to the family's woodpile. If the family hadn't gotten up in the middle of the night, they would have all been burned to death in their house.
Only a few of them knew about this, but none of them dared to tell anyone. If they really let this person hold a grudge, what if he set their house on fire at night? Their house still had a thatched roof, and if it caught fire, it would be too late to put it out.
Wang Xuewen was secretly pleased to find that Qian Erdan hadn't noticed him even after he'd been out for half a day. "Damn it," he thought, "this guy's senses are incredibly sharp. He can always detect the slightest movement. Today is a really great opportunity."
No one could beat him and escape unscathed. If it weren't for the disparity in fighting strength, he would have made sure this good-for-nothing die in the mountains.
As they drew closer, Wang Xuewen realized that Qian Erdan hadn't noticed anyone else there. He suddenly sped up and stretched out both hands, shoving Qian Erdan hard.
The river in front is the deepest in the village. The current is swift and the weather is still cold. Anyone who goes in will definitely get a leg cramp. Even if you are a good swimmer, if you get a leg cramp, you will sink. It would be best if Qian Erdan drowned in one go.
Thinking of how heartbroken the Qian family would be when they learned that Qian Erdan had drowned, Wang Xuewen smiled sinisterly. His already mean face looked like a demon crawling up from the underworld.
The underlings who witnessed this scene shuddered. My god, Wang Xuewen is too terrifying. They regretted following Wang Xuewen. What should they do?
Qian Xiao was struggling with the big fish in the water, and at the same time, she was daydreaming about how to cook the fish when she got back. If she could fry it with more oil and braise it, it would definitely be delicious. She even swallowed her saliva as she thought about it, she was so hungry.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps behind her. Instinctively, she wanted to turn around to see who was coming, since she had chosen a spot that was rarely frequented. Before she could even turn her head, she felt a strong force coming from behind her.
Her thin body fell into the water with a splash, just like that big rock. Then a sharp pain shot through the back of her head, darkness instantly engulfed her, and she knew nothing more after that.
Wang Xuewen watched as the river surface was quickly replaced by a sea of red. Panicked, he turned and ran, completely forgetting about the underlings hiding in the distance. He knew he couldn't let anyone discover his presence there.
Seeing Wang Xuewen run away in a panic, they were absolutely certain they could read the expression on his face. The rest of them quickly ran out to the riverbank and looked into the river. They saw that the riverbank was all red, and their faces turned pale instantly.
No one thought about whether they should get the person out first, or if that would result in a fatality; they all rushed home in a panic.
Qian Laosan had come to find his eldest niece to go back for dinner. Before he even got there, he saw that good-for-nothing Wang Xuewen running over in a panic, as if he hadn't seen him at all. A little while later, five more boys came running out. They were all the ones who usually followed Wang Xuewen around stealing chickens and dogs.
His expression was exactly the same as Wang Xuewen's, as if he had seen something terrifying, especially after seeing himself, he felt extremely guilty.
Thinking of this, Qian Laosan suddenly felt a pang of panic and quickly ran towards the place where the group had come from. If he remembered correctly, his eldest niece was fishing there.
When he ran to the place where his niece usually fished, he saw the fishing rod that his niece had made herself lying on the shore, but there was no sign of his niece at all.
He quickly ran to the bank and looked into the river. He never imagined that his eldest niece could fall into the water. Among the children in the village, his eldest niece was the best swimmer. If she were to fall into the water, she would have swum to the surface long ago. The water would not be so calm.
When he saw the blood-red water on the shore, his vision went black and he almost fell into the water himself.
He shook his head to rouse himself, then quickly jumped into the water with a splash. He plunged down towards the red spot and saw his eldest niece lying silently in the water; the red color was coming from the top of her head.
He dared not delay for even a moment, fearing that if he stayed in the water for too long in the middle of October, his legs would cramp up, and he might end up abandoning himself, let alone saving his niece.
Fortunately, his eldest niece was small, so he lifted her onto the shore by one arm. Seeing that the back of her head was still bleeding, he didn't dare to stop for a moment. Barefoot, he picked up his eldest niece and ran towards the village.
