Before coming to the ancestral hall, Er Ya swallowed some rat poison.
The villagers turned pale as they watched Er Ya being held in Zhang Cheng's arms, blood constantly gushing from her mouth.
Old Zhang swayed slightly.
Er Ya smiled with relief as she swallowed the rat poison. Her stomach felt like it was being stabbed, but her heart felt lighter than ever before.
"Ergouzi, quick, carry Erya out!"
Li Xingshan, leaning on his cane, strode forward. A woman dying by poison in the ancestral hall was a very unlucky thing.
Zhang Cheng's face turned ashen. He picked up Er Ya and rushed out of the ancestral hall, shouting as he did so.
"Quickly, get some warm water, quick!!!"
"Oh oh oh!"
"I'll go get it right away!"
"I also have warm water at home..."
The elderly women near the ancestral hall rushed home anxiously.
The old woman lay on the ground, staring blankly at Er Ya, who was being carried out by Zhang Cheng, and then burst into tears.
"You good-for-nothing! If you die, who's going to raise your brat?!"
The old village chief sighed inwardly, glancing at Zhang Zoushan and Li Dali, who were pinned to the ground. He saw their faces filled with panic, their teeth clenched.
"Where did you hide the stolen goods?"
Now that things have come to this, both of them know they can't hide it anymore.
Li Dali was filled with remorse and cried out.
"Village chief, I know I was wrong, I'll never do it again..."
Zhang Zoushan slammed his head against the ground, crying out.
"Village chief, please forgive us this time. We really know we were wrong."
Outside the ancestral hall, the old women ran over with water jugs.
Zhang Cheng stuffed the spout into Er Ya's mouth, and warm water mixed with blood kept overflowing.
Er Ya's face was bluish-purple, her lips were black, and her eyes were tightly closed...
Dead!
Zhang Cheng's eyes were bloodshot. He put down the kettle and placed his right hand on Er Ya's heart.
"屮!"
Zhang Cheng clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, stood up, and rushed back into the ancestral hall.
Seeing Zhang Cheng's cold gaze as he strode into the ancestral hall, the old village chief opened his mouth, but couldn't persuade him otherwise.
"Er Gouzi, we were wrong..."
Zhang Cheng suddenly leaped out, raised his right foot high, and stomped hard on Zhang Zoushan's head, who was pinned to the ground.
"Bang!"
One kick fell.
Zhang Zoushan felt his head explode, blood gushing from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, and he could neither see nor hear.
Zhang Cheng raised his eyelids, looked at Li Dali who was filled with terror, turned his heel, and kicked him in the face with his left foot.
"Smack!"
Like a whip lashing across cowhide.
Li Dali's right cheek was ripped open, and blood gushed out mixed with his teeth.
"Er Gouzi!!!"
Li Dali's father roared and charged toward Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng's eyes grew colder. He turned around abruptly, his knees slightly bent, and he leaped out like a cheetah.
He grabbed Li Dali's father by the neck, shouted, concentrated all his strength to lift him up, bent his waist, and slammed him hard against the other side.
"Bang!"
The dull thud echoed inside the ancestral hall.
Li Dali's father stood with his mouth agape, like a fish out of water, his chest pressed down by a large rock, making it difficult for him to breathe.
With a turn of his body, Zhang Cheng walked towards Li Dali and Zhang Zoushan again.
Zhang Jucai and the others' expressions changed slightly, but they didn't say anything to persuade them.
There's no way to persuade someone about this.
Walking up to the two of them, Zhang Cheng squatted down, grabbed their hair with both hands, and pulled hard.
They lifted their heads high and slammed them hard to the ground.
"Bang bang bang!"
His forehead slammed against the ground repeatedly, and blood gushed out continuously.
"Er Gouzi, that's about enough!" Zhang Jucai couldn't help but speak up.
"If the fighting continues, people will die."
"Human life?"
Zhang Cheng's lips curled into a mocking smile.
"Hasn't someone already died? As the old saying goes, a murderer must pay with his life. They killed Er Ya, so they should pay with their lives."
The chilling words sent shivers down everyone's spines.
Li Xingshan, leaning on his cane with a solemn expression, walked up to Zhang Cheng.
"Er Gouzi, they are, after all, members of our clan..."
Zhang Cheng suddenly looked up, his eyes cold, yet containing a chilling intent that made Li Xingshan's heart sink.
"Old man, can you please shut up?"
"You, you..."
Li Xingshan was so angry that he trembled all over when he didn't expect Zhang Cheng to say such a thing.
If someone treats me with respect, I will treat them with even greater respect.
Li Xingshan is now stepping in as a peacemaker, giving you face by calling him "Grandpa".
If I don't give you face, you're nothing but a fart!
The old village chief's eyelids twitched. He never expected that Zhang Cheng, who always respected the elderly, would so bluntly confront Li Xingshan, the most senior member of the village. He quickly spoke up.
“Grandpa, Zhang Cheng is out of his mind. You are a magnanimous prime minister, please don’t take it to heart.”
"Zhang Ergouzi, let go or not!"
Li Xingshan raised his cane and pointed at Zhang Cheng, who was half-squatting on the ground, holding Li Dali and Zhang Zoushan's hair with both hands.
"You old bastard, try saying another word!"
Zhang Cheng slowly stood up, still gripping the two men's hair with both hands, causing them to scream in pain.
"Er Gouzi, how can you talk to the old man like that? Quickly apologize to the old man!" Zhang Jucai said anxiously.
"hehe!"
Zhang Cheng sneered, staring intently at Li Xingshan, whose face was flushed with anger.
"If he could distinguish right from wrong, I would respect him. But right now he can't distinguish right from wrong... In my eyes, he's nothing but a fart!"
"Bang!"
Zhang Cheng let out a low growl and slammed his hands together.
Li Dali and Zhang Zoushan's foreheads collided violently, blood splattering all over Zhang Cheng's face.
No one expected Zhang Cheng to be so assertive.
They didn't even give the old man face.
"Fine, fine, fine!" Li Xingshan laughed in extreme anger.
"You, Zhang Ergouzi, have gotten powerful now, your wings have hardened, very well. Since that's the case, then get out of the Zhang family!"
