With her last bit of strength, Liang Meihua caught up with Mei Liang and Mei Si. She pushed Mei Liang aside and tried to grab Mei Si and throw her at Xue Guoqing.
"Liang Meihua, how cruel are you? You actually used a child as a shield?" Xue Guoqing looked at Liang Meihua, who wanted to hug Mei Si, in shock. Was he blind back then? How could he have married such a vicious woman?
"If I don't do this, am I supposed to just obediently wait to be slaughtered by you? I don't want to die!" Liang Meihua usually does nothing and is supported by Xue Guoqing. She tried several times but couldn't lift Mei Si, so she simply squatted down behind Mei Si and used Mei Si's body to block her.
"Let go of my sister!" Mei Liang fell hard, scraping his palms and knees, but he seemed not to feel the pain and quickly got up and lunged at Liang Meihua.
"Let go of Sisi!" Zhang Yuanchao had just helped Xu Aiguo to his feet when he saw that something had happened to Mei Si, so he immediately abandoned Xu Aiguo and ran over.
Xu Aiguo's knee was badly injured and was bleeding. He limped toward Mei Si, wanting to come and help.
Seeing the reaction of her three disciples, Mei Si nodded in satisfaction. They were indeed like those in the story, knowing how to be "filial" to their master.
Mei Si elbowed Liang Meihua from behind and stepped forward to support Mei Liang, who was lunging at her.
Liang Meihua felt a powerful force slam into her chest, and the pain made her vision go black.
Seeing that Mei Si had dodged, Xue Guoqing slashed Liang Meihua's neck with a kitchen knife.
Mei Liang and his two companions were completely stunned when they saw this scene.
Seeing that Mei Liang had regained his footing, Mei Si turned around and approached Liang Meihua to observe where Xue Guoqing would strike.
Mays: Is the neck a fatal spot for humans? The bleeding is so heavy. Given a human's physical condition, this woman is doomed if she doesn't receive treatment soon. I wonder if there are any medical pods for the Zhiya people on this planet?
When Mei Liang saw that Mei Si was actually walking closer, he immediately came to his senses. He wiped the blood splattered on his face and went straight forward to grab Mei Si.
"Let's...run!" Mei Liang pulled his sister back quietly until they were next to Xu Aiguo before he dared to speak.
Mei Liang thought his sister would run away with him, but Mei Si didn't move, and Mei Liang was almost dragged to the ground with her.
“Xu Aiguo can’t escape,” Mei Si said, pointing to Xu Aiguo’s leg.
“I’ll carry it.” Zhang Yuanchao quickly walked in front of Xu Aiguo.
Mei Liang helped Zhang Yuanchao carry Xu Aiguo on his back, and the four of them quickly left the place.
After slashing, Xue Guoqing collapsed to the ground. Looking at Liang Meihua, who was convulsing on the ground, he inexplicably recalled their first encounter.
"It was summer then, and you were wearing a floral dress. You looked so beautiful, and everyone around you was looking at you. I thought to myself, I must hide you away so that only I can see you... How did you end up like this? I really wish I had never seen you that day..."
Seeing that Liang Meihua had stopped breathing, Xue Guoqing pulled out a kitchen knife and stabbed himself hard in the stomach.
On the way, Mei Liang and his three friends encountered their parents who had come looking for them. The families had all agreed to give Mei Liang and his two companions a good beating.
But when the parents actually saw the children's miserable state, they were immediately shocked.
"What happened? How did he get so badly injured?" Xu Aiguo's mother panicked when she saw that her son's knee was bleeding.
"Sisi, how are you? Are you hurt?" Mei's father quickly hugged his daughter to check on her.
“I’m fine, but my brother is injured,” Mei Si said, pointing at Mei Liang.
"He just scraped his knee, what's the big deal? You still say it's nothing, how come you have so much blood on you?!" After checking his daughter's front, Mei's father asked her to turn around and look at her back. When he saw so much blood on her back, he was immediately terrified.
"It's not mine. There's a murder in the park ahead," Mays said, pointing towards the park.
"What?! Murder?!" The parents stared at Mei Si in shock, somewhat disbelieving her words.
It was only then that the parents realized that their usually mischievous son had remained silent the entire time.
Parent: Is it true?
The adults discussed it and decided to send the child back first, and then go to the park to check on the situation.
"Have you heard? What happened at the Jiangxi park?"
"How come I haven't heard about this? It's so tragic! How could someone be so foolish?"
"You don't know this! I heard that a murderer's wife was having an affair, and when the murderer got the news, he was so angry that he grabbed a kitchen knife and went to the park to catch them in the act."
"You really have to be careful when choosing a wife!"
This incident gave Mei Liang nightmares for a week. Xu Aiguo and Zhang Yuanchao were far away at the time and did not witness the murder directly. Afterwards, they were only a little frightened and did not have nightmares like Mei Liang.
What worried the Mei family the most was Mei Si, who was with Mei Liang at the time. The Mei family was afraid that Mei Si would be frightened into illness.
But as they waited and waited, Mei Liang's nightmare week passed, but Mei Si still acted as if nothing had happened.
"Could it be that she was too frightened?" Mei's father guessed.
"There must be something wrong, right? But Sisi looks no different than usual." Looking at her daughter practicing horse stance with Mei Liang in the yard, Mei's mother felt it was strange that her daughter had no reaction at all.
"You two stop making wild guesses. Sisi probably doesn't understand what murder is, so she's not scared. You two shouldn't always look so worried. Don't scare Sisi when she's not scared at all." Grandma Mei didn't think there was anything wrong with her granddaughter. After all, the child was still young, and it was normal for her not to know what human life was like.
Through this incident, Mei Liang seemed to have grown up overnight. He realized the importance of martial arts skills, and now he no longer slacks off when practicing horse stance, and insists on practicing horse stance for the same amount of time as his sister every day.
After this incident, Zhang Yuanchao and Xu Aiguo were strictly controlled by their families and could no longer go out to play. The two were very self-disciplined, and even without Mei Si's supervision, they still insisted on practicing horse stance every day.
Time flies and it's almost Chinese New Year. This year, Mei Si returned to her family home, and Mei's mother is about to give birth. The Mei family doesn't plan to visit the Hao family again this year.
This was the first time May had ever been so close to a pregnant woman on this planet. She watched in amazement as May's mother's belly grew bigger every day. By the time she was five months pregnant, May would lie on May's mother's belly for a while every day.
Mays began to look forward to the birth of the cub; she was eager to know how it was born.
Mei Si felt a little out of sorts this New Year. There were fewer people around, not as many as the Hao family. Gou Sheng was gone, and Grandma Wang had passed away too.
Meisi decided to go next door tomorrow; there seems to be a word that perfectly describes Meisi's current mood.
Mei Si: Who was it again? Never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore. Humans are so strange, they have to use idioms. Can't we express ourselves without idioms?
