The autumn wind is bleak and the surroundings are desolate, as if this world is not here. The asphalt road was bumpy and covered with black and red marks, I didn't know if it was blood or something else. There are ruins in the distance, and a dented car nearby, with an empty windshield and the front of the car deeply sunken and mottled in paint. Everything looked like a scene from a disaster movie.
A woman in neat army camouflage uniform, one foot on the wheel, one hand holding an ancient paper book. She has a slender and straight figure, and her capable posture is no less than that of a man.
Suddenly, she uttered a curse in Chinese and raised her right hand. Flames instantly appeared on the ancient book. The fire spread quickly with the wind. In less than a minute, the book in her hand turned into a handful of black ash and drifted away with the wind, leaving no trace.
"What's going on?" Knowing that you are level eight in the Fire Element, are you performing a show of burning paper with your hands?
“It’s so infuriating.”
The visitor looked at her, then looked at the book that had turned to ashes. Suddenly I understood something. A sweet smile is full of charm. "It's just an old novel. If you take it seriously, you will lose."
"…She raised her two daughters into cowardly, retreating fools. After they got married, they suffered domestic violence just like her, but she just advised them to be patient. Her little girl was thrown into the mountains by her mother-in-law to feed the wolves. Her son was spoiled into a useless person who couldn't even support himself."
The heroic woman kicked an abandoned motorcycle nearby and spat in hatred. "Waste, if I didn't want to see how she fights back, I wouldn't watch this rubbish."
"Well, sister, what era was that? Why are you angry with an old-fashioned and bound woman? What can a woman who can't read a single word and has never been to a county town understand? It's not worth getting angry with her."
The woman gritted her teeth: "Where on earth did you find this thing? I really doubt if there was such a coward before."
"Of course there are! In the past, women depended on men for survival and couldn't beat them, so of course they didn't dare to resist."
"She is just too soft! I don't believe that all women are like this." She clasped her hands together, her joints creaking. "Don't let me meet a man like this, otherwise..."
"What else?" Her friend smiled and flirtatiously shook her hair. "Castrate him and roast that thing and eat it?"
The woman went up and slapped her, but she dodged nimbly. He opened the car door and got into the cab: "Don't say that's useless. We still have to go to Lianyungang today. I heard there is a big boss there, and the containers in the port have not been collected yet. If we can get in, we will definitely get a lot."
With a headache, the woman stared blankly at the man in front of her who was wearing a dirty, old, and patched gray uniform. The other person met her gaze and kicked her.
"How dare you stare at me? I'll beat you to death today..."
The woman, who had practiced martial arts since childhood and thought she was very agile, dodged to the side. She thought it was a safe move, but he actually hit her arm. But when she moved, she found herself dizzy and had no strength left in her body. The most terrifying thing was that there was a ball in her belly and she could feel the fetal movement from inside. She had no experience and didn't know how many months the ball was.
"Mother……"
"Mom, Dad, please don't hit Mom. She will definitely give birth to a little brother this time. Please don't hit her..."
Two little kids as small as bean sprouts stood on her left and right, their clothes also covered with patches. He has a big head on top of his thin body, just like the little carrot head in the history book.
"Get away from me..." The man shouted, and the two girls shrank back into the corner in fear. The two sisters huddled together, shivering with their thin bodies, looking at the man with eyes full of fear.
The woman closed her eyes, then opened them again. Nothing has changed. She is still in this shabby little house with dark walls, dim light and a torn mat on the kang.
What's going on? After they killed the boss, they stored the supplies into the space and went to rest. Why are they here all of a sudden?
Is there something wrong with my brain or is there something wrong with my memory? But what's going on with this stomach? She was afraid of trouble when the end of the world came, so she had been sterilized long ago. How could she be pregnant?
Question after question flashed through her mind. Before she could figure out a clue, the man opposite her got angry again, obviously very dissatisfied with her indifferent attitude.
"You idiot, you dare to hide from me? I'm going to beat you to death today..."
He raised his foot and kicked again, but this time the woman quickly grabbed his foot. She originally wanted to push him away, but the smell of stinky feet hit her in the face. Her mysophobia came into play and she took a deep breath and threw him to the ground.
The man roared, turned over and sat up, covering his head, staring at her with disbelief. "How dare you fight back?"
The woman had also stood up, holding her belly, and was looking down at him condescendingly. The man was about 1.80 meters tall and as thin as a telephone pole. His face was pale and his beard was untidy, and he looked like a tubercular patient.
Ignoring his angry shouting, she turned her gaze to the pair of girls in the corner behind her. The two children hugged each other and trembled as if they were struck by lightning. They glanced at her and quickly lowered their heads.
Dad would beat people, and mom would take her anger out on them when she was bullied. At times like this you have to shut up and act dumb. It would be great if there was a crack on the ground. I really want to crawl into it and never come out.
Of course the woman did not miss the horrified looks the two children gave her. Why are you so afraid of me? I don't eat humans. She couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek. It was dry and rough. Just by the feel, she knew that this was definitely not the smooth, delicate and plump cheek she had before.
Traveled through time. The woman sneered and read a book to complain about time travel. It seems that she has also kept up with the trend. I don’t know whether it is good or bad to leave the terrible environment of the end of the world and move into such a cold, sloppy, shabby and pitiful home. She felt the fetus moving in her stomach again, and she was startled and sighed.
Well, she's got a big belly. Does that mean she needs to give birth again? She had never been pregnant before, so it was really hard to get used to her having such a big belly right away.
"I'll beat you to death..."
While she was stunned, the man's fist came again. She lowered her head and felt only a gust of wind, and subconsciously dodged to the side.
"Oh my God!" Due to the huge inertia, the man staggered forward and only stopped by holding on to the wall. He turned around and slapped me in the face, "How dare you hide? Do you want to kill me? I'm going to beat you to death today..."
The woman's brows never relaxed. She didn't know how tall the grass on the grave of the last person who dared to insult her was. Grabbing the man's wrist with one hand, she used all her strength to turn him around and make him lie prone on the wall.
This house was allocated from a landlord, and the walls are all made of blue bricks. The blow was quite severe. The man wailed and jumped around on the spot, holding his nose.
"Oh my god, it hurts so much. You bitch, you are so rebellious. If I don't beat you to death today, you will think I am dead."
As soon as he let go of his hand, blood gushed out of his nose. He wiped it unconsciously with his hand, and his whole face became bloody.
The shivering little sister in the corner was even more frightened at this moment. Dad is the most vengeful person. If mom talks back to him, he will give her a good beating. Her nose is bleeding so much this time. I wonder if mom was beaten to death by him? Although their mother would get angry at them when she was in a bad mood, if it weren't for her, the two of them would probably have starved to death by their grandmother.
"Mom..." the two girls called out timidly. When they saw their father go crazy when he saw the blood on his hands, they were so scared that they quickly shrank back into the corner.
"Blood..." The man was really crazy this time. He took off his smelly shoes and hit the woman on the head. "I'll beat you to death..."
These three words were shouted with gnashing teeth, filled with endless anger. The woman opposite also adapted to this strange scene as quickly as possible. It is very likely that he was transported into the book that he had burned. Looking at the man jumping up and down like a madman, the sneer on her lips became even wider.
The aunt was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger, and God actually gave her a chance to teach the scumbag a lesson. This time I can no longer just be angry and have no choice but to burn books to vent my anger.
I have just estimated the capabilities of this body. The limbs looked skinny, but they were quite strong. Her stomach was growling with hunger, so she took the opportunity to take out a piece of chocolate from the space and put it into her mouth. At this time, the symptoms of dizziness and weakness seem to be relieved.
It seems that I have low blood sugar due to hunger. If we really were transported into a book, the current situation should be the most difficult part. No wonder everyone is like a refugee.
Facing the angry figure of the man, she seized the opportunity and kicked him cleanly, knocking him off the hanging rag door curtain.
“Oh my god…”
How many times have you called me mom today? Han Hongtu, who has been a bully since childhood, has never suffered such a big loss from a woman. His head fell to the ground, the blood from his nose had not yet stopped, and bright red blood came out of his mouth again. The rain that fell from the sky washed away his face and body, making them look scary.
"What happened?" Old Mrs. Han came out on her bound feet and walked towards her son on the ground in panic.
"Hey, what did second brother do?" Standing at the door of the south wing's ear room, the gloating expression on the face of the Han family's youngest daughter-in-law was too obvious.
"I'll go get a basin of water to wash first." The eldest daughter-in-law was more kind. She covered her mouth and ran to the kitchen.
"Brother, who hit you?" The little sister, who was only twelve years old, followed her mother out of the door.
…
She ignored the noisy pregnant woman outside the house. She glanced at the gloomy and rainy sky, then quickly closed the door and bolted it.
She turned and went to the corner where the two girls were huddled. The two children were so scared looking at their mother who was different from usual that they didn't even dare to scream. He held her tightly like conjoined twins, with his head lowered, pretending to be an ostrich.
My father beats his wife on rainy days, and he has nothing to do anyway. Shouldn't the mother vent her dissatisfaction and give them both a good beating? My stomach growled, but no matter how hungry I was, it couldn't overcome the fear in my heart.
Gu Yan, who had just arrived, was helpless in the face of the child who regarded her as a scourge. She opened her lips several times but could not utter a word.
The little sister on the ground shivered for a long time and found that her mother's slap did not fall on her. The eldest sister raised her head tremblingly and timidly observed her mother's expression secretly.
"…Don't hit your sister. If mom gets angry, she can hit me a few times to vent her anger."
"...Don't hit my sister, mom, don't hit me."
The two girls were like little chicks. It was not known whether it was because they were connected by blood or because Gu Yan was naturally soft-hearted and liked children, but the childish words filled with fear and pleading made her tears burst out instantly.
