Just as his fingers were about to touch the rope, his foot seemed to kick something, very slightly, but the taut thread was instantly triggered!
"Click!"
A very faint click of a mechanism, yet it was as clear as a clap of thunder in the still night!
Ma Jinbao and Ma Chunmei were still trying to figure out what was going on.
"Crash! Clang!"
"Clang! Crack!"
Several empty tin buckets and broken earthenware jars hanging under the eaves were suddenly pulled down by the thin hemp ropes they were connected, like ferocious beasts awakened from their slumber, raining down on them!
An iron bucket slammed right onto Ma Jinbao's shoulder, and a clay pot grazed Ma Chunmei's scalp before falling to the ground and shattering into pieces!
"Ouch!"
"Oh my god!"
The siblings simultaneously let out screams like pigs being slaughtered, a sound that terrified them so much that they instinctively covered their heads and ran away.
Ma Jinbao was hit so hard he stumbled and slipped in his panic.
"Aww!"
An even more piercing scream rang out! He felt an excruciating pain shooting through the soles of his feet!
Looking down by the moonlight, I saw several sharp shards of glass stuck in the sole of my Liberation Shoe!
"My foot! My foot!" Ma Jinbao clutched his foot, jumping up and down in pain, his face instantly covered in tears and snot.
"Jinbao!" Ma Chunmei was also terrified. She tried to help her younger brother, but in her panic, she stepped into a pit and twisted her ankle, falling flat on her face with a cry of "Ouch!"
The earth-shattering noise and screams were like a bomb being dropped into the silent night!
"Woof woof woof!"
"Woof woof woof woof!"
The entire company's dogs were instantly alerted!
The incessant barking tore through the night sky!
The dog next to the educated youth settlement went completely mad, breaking free of its leash and barking wildly as it charged at them!
Just as Ma Chunmei was struggling to get up, she saw a dark shadow rushing towards her with a foul stench, its gleaming white teeth flashing coldly in the moonlight!
"Ah! Get away! Get out of here!"
Ma Chunmei was so frightened that she crawled on the ground on all fours. The dog spotted her and bit her upturned buttocks!
"Aww!"
Ma Chunmei's screams were ten times more shrill than Ma Jinbao's. Her pants were instantly ripped open, and blood flowed freely!
"Sis! The dog is biting someone!"
Ignoring the pain in his foot, Ma Jinbao was terrified and tried to run away with his injured foot. But as soon as he took a step, he was cut by a shard of broken glass on the ground, making him wince in pain.
The yard was in complete chaos: one of the siblings was rolling around in agony, clutching his bloodied foot, while the other was being chased and bitten on the buttocks by a dog, his pants torn to shreds.
Crying and screaming, the place was a complete mess.
Iron buckets and broken pottery were everywhere, and the sounds of barking dogs, screams, and cries mingled together, making it even more noisy than hunting a bear during the day.
The lights at the educated youth's station suddenly turned on.
Du Jianshan and Wang Tieniu rushed out of the house almost at the same time, followed by several educated youths who had been awakened and were rubbing their eyes.
"What happened?"
"Who is it? What's going on?"
Du Jianshan carried a kerosene lamp, its dim light illuminating the disheveled, wailing siblings in the center of the courtyard.
Ma Jinbao was sitting on the ground, clutching his left foot. Blood seeped through his canvas shoes, and blood-stained shards of glass were scattered around him. His face was covered in snot, tears, and dirt, and he was convulsing in pain.
Ma Chunmei was in an even worse state; her pants had a large tear in the back, revealing bloody flesh.
She was scrambling and crawling to get rid of the big yellow dog, her hair disheveled, her face covered in dirt and fear, a far cry from the swagger she had displayed during the day.
