This was all thanks to Wang Fugui, who, in order to advertise his business, even stamped the four characters "Wang's Business" on the packaging paper.
In the entire Donghai Town, there is only one Wang family business, so this man cannot deny it.
Fortunately, Zhang Dahua had learned a few characters from the owner of another restaurant when she worked there.
It was immediately obvious that the items belonged to a shop, and no one could deny that.
"How shameless! Stealing in broad daylight!"
"Exactly! These things are so cheap already, and he still steals them. Take him to the county government!"
"......"
A murmur arose from the crowd, with everyone pointing and whispering as they watched the man confronting Zhang Dahua.
Unfortunately, most of those trying to take advantage of the situation today were women, and no one dared to easily subdue the man.
"Big Flower, watch out!" Gu Lili cried out in alarm.
Gu Lili suddenly noticed a cold light flashing from the man's sleeve. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was a dagger.
Enraged by the comments, Yang Wu immediately pulled out a dagger and stabbed Zhang Dahua.
He clearly anticipated that although there were many people in the shop, no one would dare to bother him; this man was obviously a repeat offender.
Yang Wu felt utterly humiliated after Zhang Dahua exposed him in public.
Just as the dagger was about to pierce Zhang Dahua, Gu Erniu pushed her away.
The dagger slashed along Gu Erniu's arm, but fortunately, Gu Erniu was wearing enough clothes today, and the dagger only cut his arm a little.
Gu Erniu had already walked around the counter when he heard Zhang Dahua call Yang Wu to stop.
That's why I was able to push Zhang Dahua away at that critical moment.
Seeing that he hadn't hurt Zhang Dahua, Yang Wu became even more furious. He picked up his dagger and stabbed at Gu Erniu and Zhang Dahua again.
The women in the shop screamed in fright, but Yang Wu happened to be at the door, so none of them dared to escape.
Seeing this, Gu Erniu pushed Zhang Dahua aside and then tried to block Yang Wu's dagger with his bare hands.
Gu Huanhuan was so frightened that she couldn't even scream, but she bravely stepped forward to try and block the attack for her second brother.
Gu Lili used almost all her strength to run towards Gu Erniu. When she reached Yang Wu, she kicked him from the side, sending him flying.
The dagger grazed Gu Erniu's throat, and Gu Erniu instantly felt goosebumps rise on his neck.
He felt a chill on his neck; if the dagger had moved just a little further, Gu Erniu's throat would have been slit open.
Yang Wu was kicked to the ground by Gu Lili. When he tried to get up again, Gu Lili quickly took out the pepper spray and sprayed it all over him.
Yang Wu covered his eyes with one hand, groaning in pain, while waving the dagger in his other hand to keep anyone away.
Seeing Yang Wu fall to the ground, the customers in the shop all put down their unpaid items and ran out of the shop through the gaps, afraid of being hurt by the dagger in Yang Wu's hand.
Looking at Yang Wu lying on the ground, Gu Lili rushed towards Gu Erniu in fear.
"Erniu, are you alright?" Gu Lili asked as she checked on him.
Zhang Dahua, Gu Huanhuan, and Gu Sigou also gathered around, looking at Gu Erniu with concern.
Gu Lili checked him over and found that Gu Erniu only had a minor superficial injury on his arm, which put her at ease.
Gu Erniu then came to his senses, "Sister, I...I...I'm fine!"
He was indeed startled just now, and the tip of the knife grazed his skin.
Blood instantly rushed from every corner of his body to his legs, and Gu Erniu felt a chill run through his entire body.
In that instant, he felt as if his father and mother had come to pick him up.
He even planned out where he would be buried.
When Zhang Dahua heard Gu Erniu say that she was alright, she could no longer hold back her tears, which flowed uncontrollably.
"Erniu, it's all my fault, I almost dragged you into this!" Zhang Dahua said guiltily.
If it weren't for saving him, Gu Erniu wouldn't have been injured, and he almost lost his life.
"Dahua, Erniu, this isn't the time to talk about this, move aside!" Gu Lili interrupted their emotional outburst and urged them on.
Yang Wu had recovered somewhat by this time. Although he still couldn't open his eyes, he had stood up and was cautiously approaching them with a dagger in his hand.
Although Yang Wu's eyes were closed, his ears could still distinguish sounds.
"You bunch of brats, what kind of sorcery are you using to make me unable to open my eyes? I'm going to kill you all!" Yang Wu shouted.
Today, Yang Wu had a rough idea of his fate, so all he could think about was taking a few more down with him.
After Gu Lili's reminder, Gu Erniu and the others quickly dispersed.
A few brave villagers had been watching the commotion from the shop entrance, but when they saw Yang Wu wildly brandishing his dagger, they scattered in fear.
Yang Wu waved the dagger wildly in his hand, not caring what was in front of him.
Gu Lili was puzzled. It was just stealing, so why was Yang Wu reacting so strongly?
She had just taken a look and found that Yang Wu had only stolen some food, like cakes and the like. Even if it were charged at full price, he would only get a few lashes at most.
It doesn't have to come to murder, does it? Looking at his vicious appearance, someone who doesn't know the situation might think he has some irreconcilable grudge against Gu Lili.
Gu Lili tiptoed and sprayed pepper spray at Yang Wu a few more times. Then she quickly ran out of the shop.
"Erniu, hurry up and report to the authorities!" Gu Lili said to Gu Erniu.
Just as Gu Erniu was about to turn around and report to the authorities, he didn't expect that some yamen runners were already rushing towards their shop.
It could be the person who ran out earlier, or a passerby on the street, who has already reported it to the authorities on their behalf.
Moreover, even Magistrate Yang came along.
Upon seeing the county magistrate arrive, the crowd quickly parted to make way for him.
Thinking of Wu Chenggui's death, Gu Lili felt a little guilty when she saw Magistrate Yang.
Seeing Yang Wu casually brandishing a dagger in front of them, the constables did not hesitate to take out their stern rods and strike Yang Wu's legs.
Yang Wu cried out in pain and immediately knelt down on the ground, but he did not let go of the dagger in his hand.
Upon seeing this, a constable raised his disciplinary rod and struck Yang Wu's hand until it turned crimson before releasing the dagger.
Gu Lili swallowed hard, and couldn't help but sigh, "This person is really ruthless!"
Seeing that Yang Wu was unarmed, the constables surrounded him and stopped him.
