Zhang Jianye scoffed, "A fool? I'll hit him if I want."
Zhang Xingguo said with a bitter face, "If you hit him, you will be punished by the mountain god."
On the day Zhang Si chased after Zhang Fan, Zhang Jianye was sick and didn't go. Later, he only heard that a wolf had injured someone, and he thought it was just a coincidence and had nothing to do with Zhang Fan.
He pulled back the sleeve that Zhang Xingguo was holding and slapped it hard.
Unexpectedly, his palm was only inches away from Zhang Fan's face when he was punched hard in the face.
Zhang Jianye spun around in the air and crashed onto the bucket. There was a loud crack as the bucket shattered, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking.
A scream followed.
Zhang Jianye clutched his tailbone, his face contorted in pain, veins bulging on his neck. His disheveled appearance was a stark contrast to his earlier arrogance.
Zhang Xingguo turned pale with fright and ran while shouting, "That idiot hit someone!"
Zhang Fan ignored him and continued fetching water.
He carried two buckets of water and headed straight up the mountain.
Zhang Jianye glared at Zhang Fan's retreating figure, gritting his teeth as he said, "I won't let you get away with this."
Zhang Fan glanced back, and Zhang Jianye was so frightened that he immediately fell silent, his body trembling like a leaf, and dared not utter another word.
Only after Zhang Fan had gone far away did they dare to continue shouting and cursing.
Zhang Fan hadn't gone far when he was stopped by a group of people.
Zeng Guihua brought a group of people, their eyes filled with hatred as they glared at Zhang Fan: "Now, no one can protect you."
She waved her hand forward: "Go!"
This group included Zhang Si's henchmen and also some of Zeng Hu's men.
The men under Zeng Hu were ruthless and reportedly had even been involved in murder cases.
The wolf attack incident caused quite a stir, and everyone was afraid, so no one dared to be the first to make a move.
Zeng Guihua gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "Ignorance is nothing but a coincidence. There were ten thousand people who injured Zhang Fan."
Some people can make the devil turn the millstone; upon hearing that there was money, the group of people were instantly tempted and shouted as they attacked Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan put down the bucket, punched with his left hand and kicked with his right, and in less than a minute, a group of people were lying on the ground, all clutching their sore spots and crying out in pain.
Zeng Guihua was stunned. What was going on?
She stretched out her claws and grabbed at it.
Zhang Si's betrayal angered her greatly. She hated Hu Xue and also hated Zhang Fan, that fool, for being unable to control people.
If it weren't for Zhang Fan, she wouldn't be living a life of widowhood at such a young age.
Before she could even touch Zhang Fan, he kicked her away, sending her sprawling face-first into the dirt.
Zeng Guihua winced in pain, then her eyes suddenly lit up as her brother approached with two policemen.
She quickly pointed at Zhang Fan and shouted, "Officer, I want to call the police! He assaulted me!"
These are police officers who came to the village to investigate the situation. One is an older officer, and he is accompanied by a young female officer.
The policewoman's eyes lit up instantly. She walked towards Zhang Fan and asked sternly, "Why did you hit him?"
Zhang Fan clutched his head, looking terrified: "They bullied me."
Her eyes were crystal clear, full of childlike innocence, which seemed slightly out of place on an adult's face.
The policewoman frowned slightly and asked cautiously, "Are you an idiot?"
Zeng Hu coughed lightly: "How can you believe a fool's words? I think he'll tell the truth after being locked up in the police station for a few days."
The male police officer nodded repeatedly: "You're right, come with us."
The policewoman disagreed, saying irritably, "The idiot didn't do it on purpose. Why don't we both compromise?"
The male police officer was about to arrest Zhang Fan when Zhang Fan took off running.
"stop!"
The police and Zeng Hu caught up with them.
A murderous glint flashed in Zeng Hu's eyes. He thought it best to kill Zhang Fan in the chaos so he could avenge his sister.
Zhang Fan went straight to Zhang Si's house, but the mourning hall was empty; Hu Xue was nowhere to be seen.
Zhang Fan had exceptional hearing and heard a faint sobbing sound. He followed the sound and found Hu Xue bound like a dumpling in the woodshed.
Hu Xue was covered in mud, blood, tears, and snot; she looked disgusting.
The policewoman's eyes lit up the moment she saw Hu Xue, and she grabbed Hu Xue, saying, "Hu Jinhua, you killed someone. Come with me to the police station."
This sudden change came so suddenly that no one had time to react and they stood there dumbfounded.
Hu Xue cried bitterly, "Please, please, let me go to jail! I don't want to be locked up with dead people, it's too scary!"
Zeng Hu chased after Zhang Fan, and Zhang Fan took the opportunity to kick over Zhang Si's coffin.
Upon seeing this, Zeng Guihua screamed, "Zhang Si!"
She then fainted.
Ignoring Zhang Fan, Zeng Hu carried Zeng Guihua into the house, saying, "Quickly, go and call the doctor."
The underlings were afraid of the mountain god legend, so they only chased after the mountain god for a short while before stopping, citing physical pain as the reason.
After capturing the fugitive, the police didn't have time to wait and escorted Hu Xue to the police car, one on each side.
Zhang Fan quickly disappeared from sight, carrying the water buckets up the mountain.
When we reached the halfway point up the mountain, we went to check the well again. The water level had only risen a little. At this rate, it wouldn't be able to fill a bucket with water by tomorrow morning.
He looked up and saw that the sun was blazing; it had been sunny for a month straight, and if it continued to be sunny, the well would probably dry up.
Zhang Fan poured water into the vat and, seeing that Li Chunyan and Aunt Pang were not home, started practicing boxing in the yard.
When he was practicing boxing, he closed his eyes and felt the spiritual energy flowing through his body.
According to the "Wuji Jing", spiritual power can also harm people.
He tried to concentrate all his spiritual power in his palm, then swung his arm and struck out with a powerful gust of wind.
Nothing happened; it was completely harmless.
Zhang Fan was not discouraged and tried again, repeating the same action.
