At the same time, Lu Xing, who was resting in the house, was awakened by Aunt Liu's deafening shouting.
He had just opened the door with sleepy eyes, and before he could even ask what had happened, he caught a glimpse of the aggressive Liu family.
Due to long-term violent torture and abuse, Lu Xingze's body has long been like a frightened bird, and has formed a certain conditioned reflex.
At this moment, seeing everyone from the Liu family appear before him, he was instantly frozen in place as if under a spell, not daring to move.
Seeing this situation, Xie Qi rushed forward without hesitation, like an indestructible mountain, and steadily blocked the Liu family behind him.
He leaned down slightly, his tone so gentle that it seemed to melt ice and snow, and he softly comforted Lu Xingze, "Aze, please wait for me in the house. I'll get rid of these annoying 'flies' and then come in right away to accompany you."
But at this moment, when Aunt Liu saw Lu Xingze walking out of the house, she immediately began to rub her lower back, making an exaggerated "ouch, ouch" sound from her mouth.
At the same time, he yelled at the top of his lungs: "Little bastard, come home with me!"
After Aunt Liu finished shouting this, she continued in a sharp and sarcastic tone, "Xie Qi! I felt sorry for you and didn't ask for too much betrothal gifts. But you actually deceived me! Humph, if you can't come up with ten taels of silver today, I will never agree to your marriage!"
Aunt Liu's shameless and greedy words immediately attracted the attention of everyone around her. Everyone's face showed contempt and disgust, and they secretly sighed in their hearts that this woman was really shameless.
Even Liu Qingqing, who was standing by, blushed. She quickly reached out and grabbed Aunt Liu's clothes, lowering her voice and scolding, "Mom! Can you please restrain yourself a little? Do you still want to maintain my reputation? I'm not even married yet! What if you keep making such a fuss? Who will dare to marry me in the future?"
"Daughter-in-law of the Liu family, what you are doing is inhumane. The couple slept together last night. How can you cancel the engagement and ask for a betrothal gift the next day after getting married?"
"That's right! How dare you ask for ten taels of silver?"
At this moment, Xie Qi gently pushed Lu Xingze into the house, and then carefully closed the door.
Immediately afterwards, Xie Qi's originally gentle and affectionate face instantly became extremely cold. He reached out expressionlessly, grabbed the sharp axe standing at the door, and threw it towards Aunt Liu without hesitation.
In an instant, the axe flew through the air like a flash of lightning, rushing past Aunt Liu's ears with a sharp sound of wind. With a loud "bang", the axe embedded deeply into the wooden door frame behind her, and sawdust flew everywhere!
This thrilling scene left everyone present stunned, their hearts almost jumping out of their throats.
Aunt Liu, in particular, was so frightened that her face turned pale as paper, her legs went limp, and she collapsed to the ground, her body trembling non-stop. Her face was filled with terror, her eyes wide open, her mouth wide open, but she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
However, Xie Qi didn't seem to be giving up. He walked slowly and steadily towards the door frame, stretched out his right hand and firmly grasped the axe handle. Then, with a sudden force, he forcibly pulled the axe head out from the door frame. Then, with his right hand firmly grasping the axe handle, he approached Aunt Liu step by step.
At this moment, Xie Qi's eyes were as cold and piercing as the frost in the cold winter, making people shudder. That look seemed to be from the evil spirits of the abyss of hell, filled with endless murderous intent and cruelty.
Xie Qi stared intently at Aunt Liu, who had collapsed to the ground and was trembling all over, and said coldly, "Do you really think I'm easy to talk to? I'm not a pushover. Killing you would be easy. You don't even consider your own worth to dare to provoke me. Believe it or not, even if you die here today, those yamen runners won't be able to trace it back to me!"
Xie Qi's words made the surrounding villagers realize that Xie Qi was not someone to be trifled with. He had a bad reputation and might really do it based on his previous personality.
At this moment, Aunt Liu was completely frightened by Xie Qi's murderous eyes. She widened her eyes, looked at Xie Qi in horror, and her body trembled involuntarily.
Because she clearly felt a suffocating chill in Xie Qi's eyes, as if every word he said was the unquestionable truth from his heart.
The fear that was deeply embedded in her heart surged like a tide, instantly drowning Aunt Liu's reason and ability to speak. Her throat felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and she couldn't even utter a sound.
He could only tremble and support himself with his hands, struggling to stand up. Then, he stumbled and hurriedly ran in the direction he came from, with only one thought in his mind: to quickly escape from this terrible place.
As her pace quickened, Aunt Liu's heartbeat became more intense and her breathing became more rapid. She ran desperately, looking back from time to time, fearing that Xie Qi would suddenly catch up and take her life.
This fear continued to spread, occupying her entire mind to the point that she almost lost the ability to think about anything else.
At the same time, Liu Qingqing and the others were also shocked when they saw Aunt Liu in such a panic. Without thinking too much, they immediately ran after Aunt Liu.
Xie Qi turned his gaze towards the faint light in 948's hand and smiled with satisfaction.
He said softly: "Well done, but tonight, you have to add fuel to the fire for the Liu family."
Hearing this, 948 nodded without hesitation and said, "Don't worry, host! I'll take care of it!"
However, what Xie Qi asked 948 to do was not to kill or set fire, but to exert psychological influence on the Liu family members through psychological suggestion.
As a result, every time they fall asleep, they will fall into a terrible nightmare. In that endless darkness, they will be in a horrible hell, suffering inhumane abuse and beatings.
How they treat Lu Xingze will be met with ten times the pain, making them experience firsthand the great pain that Lu Xingze once endured.
Every night will be a torment, and the pain that penetrates deep into their bones will make them heartbroken and unable to sleep all night.
Fear occupies their minds, and they will struggle in nightmares but can never escape until they commit suicide.
