There was another man nearby, clutching his head and rolling around on the ground.
She looked a little older than Gu Lili.
Gu Sigou sat on the ground, holding the pork knuckle he had just bought, tears streaming down his face.
"Huanhuan, are you alright!" Seeing that Gu Sigou had no external injuries, Gu Lili hurriedly ran to Gu Huanhuan and asked.
As she got closer, she discovered that there was a human ear on the ground, which made Gu Lili's stomach churn.
Gu Huanhuan's clothes seemed to have been torn in some places, and Gu Lili's face turned pale.
He took a piece of clothing out of the basket Gu Erniu was carrying and draped it over Gu Huanhuan's shoulders.
He quickly helped Gu Huanhuan up and checked her for injuries, at which point Gu Huanhuan seemed to respond.
He hugged Gu Lili tightly and burst into tears.
Gu Lili took a closer look and found that apart from her torn clothes, Gu Huanhuan had no other injuries.
The blood on her face must be from the man on the ground.
Judging from the way the man was covering his head, the ear on the ground must also belong to him!
Gu Erniu rushed over to Gu Sigou and helped him up. "Sigou, what exactly happened?" Gu Erniu asked.
Gu Sigou sobbed, pointing at the man on the ground, "This man came to steal our meat just now, and then... then he bullied Third Sister!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Erniu clenched his fists tightly and turned around to rush over and punch the man.
He thought that bullying meant hitting Gu Huanhuan.
Before Gu Erniu could even reach the man, Gu Lili rushed up to him.
Gu Erniu was stunned by Gu Lili's actions and stood there dumbfounded.
Gu Lili kicked the man hard in the groin, and he immediately screamed in pain.
Gu Erniu and Gu Sigou don't understand what that means, but Gu Lili, who has lived two lives, surely understands it too?
However, Gu Huanhuan is only nine years old, and this man on the ground is worse than an animal.
Gu Lili was so angry that she was trembling all over, but her feet did not stop moving because of the trembling.
Instead, he kicked harder and harder, as if he wanted to kick the man on the ground to death.
Gu Lili aimed her kicks in one spot with every kick, and the man rolled on the ground in pain, begging for mercy.
"Heroine, I dare not do it again, please spare my life!"
Gu Lili seemed to be possessed, showing no sign of stopping.
This terrified Sizhu's father, who was standing nearby. If Gu Lili had really kicked the man on the ground to death, she would definitely have been beheaded.
Seeing that there seemed to be blood flowing from the man's crotch, Sizhu's father quickly spoke up.
"Lili, stop! Don't kick anymore! If you keep kicking, someone will die!"
Seeing that Gu Lili showed no sign of stopping, Sizhu's father quickly stepped forward and pulled her back.
Gu Lili was then forced to stop.
Gu Lili swallowed, seemingly calming down.
Yes, if I were kicked to death, my life would be over.
Gu Erniu then realized what was happening and quickly came over to help Gu Lili.
"Uncle, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again today. Please wait for me a little longer, I need to report to the authorities!" Gu Lili said calmly.
Such scoundrels should naturally be dealt with by the government.
Father Sizhu nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, reporting to the authorities is the right thing to do. Lili, don't worry, I'll be here waiting for you and will keep an eye on the grain for you!"
Upon hearing that Gu Lili was going to report to the authorities, the man on the ground was so frightened that he ignored his pain and scrambled to his feet to run away.
Gu Lili reacted quickly, running over and kicking him to the ground.
Sizhu's father and Gu Erniu quickly ran over and held the person down.
Just then, Magistrate Yang, who was returning from Jiangbei Prefecture, witnessed this scene.
They quickly stopped the carriage and went forward to check.
"What's going on here!" Magistrate Yang asked as he got off the carriage.
Magistrate Yang was also shocked by the scene before him. With blood all over the ground, if it weren't for the fact that everyone present could move, he would have thought a murder had occurred.
Gu Lili took a look and was surprised to see that it was the county magistrate.
"This humble woman greets Your Excellency, the County Magistrate!" Gu Lili stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
When Gu Erniu and the other two, along with Sizhu's father, heard Gu Lili say this, they all followed Gu Lili's example and bowed to the county magistrate.
Upon hearing that it was the county magistrate, the man on the ground burst into tears.
"Your Excellency, help me! Murder! These people have bitten off my ears and are going to kick off my manhood!" Zhang Qiang cried out.
While howling, it crawled toward Magistrate Yang and Clerk Li.
What a blatant case of the guilty party accusing the innocent first!
If the county magistrate hadn't met Gu Lili a few times and seen the horrific scene, he probably would have believed that Zhang Qiang was telling the truth!
"What are you howling about! If you have something to say, go back to the county office and say it!" Master Li scolded.
He also felt that Gu Lili and the others wouldn't hit someone for no reason.
He clearly saw Gu Huanhuan's disheveled appearance behind Gu Lili.
Gu Lili and her three siblings, along with Zhang Qiang, were taken to the county government office.
Before the trial even began, a woman in her thirties rushed in, sobbing.
As soon as he entered, he lunged at Zhang Qiang, who was kneeling on the ground.
"My son, how could he have been beaten up like this after just going out to play for a while? His ears have been bitten off! Your Honor, please do justice for my son! He's only thirteen years old, such a young age!"
When Zhang Qiang saw his mother arrive, he rushed into her arms and wept.
"Mother, they not only bit off my ears, but they also kicked my manhood. I'm afraid I won't be able to carry on the Zhang family line anymore!" Zhang Qiang cried as he pointed at Gu Lili.
Gu Lili stared coldly at Zhang Qiang and his mother. If murder were not illegal, Gu Lili would have wanted to skin him alive right now!
Upon hearing Zhang Qiang's words, the woman immediately looked down at Zhang Qiang's crotch.
His clothes were soaked with blood, and he lunged at Gu Lili with bloodshot eyes.
Gu Lili clenched her fist, waiting for the woman to pounce so she could throw a punch.
If a child is not properly taught, it is the father's fault!
Parents are definitely partly to blame for raising their son to be like this.
The magistrate slammed his gavel and roared, "This is a sacred place for the magistrate! How dare you make such a ruckus here! I will investigate the matter thoroughly!"
The woman flinched in fright, stopped moving, and stood frozen in place.
Then, sobbing, she said, "My lord, please do justice for us! My son is just a child, what terrible thing could he have done to deserve such a beating? My lord, my son! Why is he so unlucky!"
At this moment, Zhang Qiang was also curled up in the woman's arms, looking like a victim.
Gu Lili sneered, "Your Excellency, I wish to file a complaint against Zhang Qiang for abusing a young girl!"
