Bai Shihai arrived with a shovel; the reservoir was already crowded with people.
Someone shouted, "Shihai is here!"
Everyone voluntarily made way for Bai Shihai.
Bai Shihai had a blank expression, and he was holding a sharp-edged shovel in his hand. The onlookers all swallowed hard.
The most terrifying thing is when an honest person is pushed to the limit.
Zhu Shengping's hands and feet were bound with pig's trotters, and he lay on his side by the reservoir, drying there like a fish.
"Shihai, don't worry."
Seeing Bai Shihai's appearance, Li Shiqing feared that the boy might do something foolish.
After Bai Zhiman became paralyzed five years ago, it was Bai Shihai, the eldest brother, who took care of the family.
They say the fiercest dogs are the ones that don't bite. Bai Shihai is usually good-tempered, but if you bully his sister, it's like stepping on his tail.
Bai Shihai slammed his shovel on the ground: "Which hand did he use to strangle Shiqing?"
"Right hand, Brother Hai. When I arrived, he was already choking Bai Shiqing, and Bai Shiqing almost died!"
Li Shuxian answered, and his father glared at him.
Li Shiqing gritted his teeth and whispered, "You accept everything I say!"
Li Shuxian muttered, "What's wrong with telling the truth?"
Seeing the bloody fingernail marks on the back of Zhu Shengping's right hand, Bai Shihai could only imagine how much pain Bai Shiqing had been in at that time.
He took two steps forward, his eyes dimmed, and he picked up the shovel and began to dig.
"Ah—Damn it, Bai Shihai, you want to die!" Zhu Shengping was clearly still furious. He roared, his eyes as red as if they were stained with blood.
Blood trickled from the wound on his right arm, exposing the white bone. He was sweating profusely from the pain, the sweat mingling with the dirt on his face.
"Shihai! Don't be impulsive!"
Li Shiqing's pupils contracted sharply, and he was about to step forward to stop him, but Shen Heng grabbed his shoulder: "It's their family matter, we shouldn't interfere."
As he spoke, Bai Shihai shoveled another iron spade into Zhu Shengping's right arm.
The excruciating pain from Zhu Shengping's two wounds made him tremble uncontrollably, and he wished he could faint immediately.
But at this moment, due to his intense emotions, Zhu Shengping's blood was surging like never before, and he was very clear-headed.
Bai Shihai held a blood-soaked shovel to Zhu Shengping's neck, the blood flowing down the edge of the shovel, a truly horrific scene.
As Zhu Shengping lost more blood, the agitation in his veins subsided, and he finally felt fear: "Brother Hai, Brother Hai, I was wrong, Brother Hai!"
Bai Shihai kicked off the edge of the shovel, as if he were digging the ground; if he kicked down, he could sever Zhu Shengping's head.
Seeing that someone was about to die, the onlookers tried to stop him, saying, "Shihai, please don't act rashly!"
"It's not worth arguing with him! Shihai, let's talk this out!"
Several strong men were already quietly moving forward, about to pounce on Bai Shihai.
Shen Heng stepped forward and said, "Who dares to take a step forward?"
The fear of Shen Heng is ingrained in the very bones of the people of Shili Village.
Ever since he was fifteen, when he stabbed a man through the stomach with a pig feed knife, everyone has known that he is truly capable of killing.
After he said that, no one dared to go up for a moment.
Only Li Shiqing couldn't get over it with his conscience. He grabbed Shen Heng's arm and struggled, saying, "If you really care about your brother-in-law, hurry up and stop him!"
Shen Heng opened his eyes wide.
Why is it that only the wicked are allowed to do evil, while the bullied are not allowed to fight back?
Today he's going to make Bai Shihai pay back; he'll look down on Bai Shihai if he doesn't get his revenge.
Zhu Shengping begged for mercy repeatedly, but when he realized no one was coming to his rescue, and looking at Bai Shihai's angry face from above, despair and fear welled up in his heart.
The thought that the sharp shovel tip on his neck would sever his throat at any moment terrified Zhu Shengping so much that he wet his pants.
A stream of yellow liquid flowed down his crotch. Some people frowned slightly, while others looked on with amusement.
"From now on, you better stay away from Bai Shiqing. If you dare to take another step near my sister, I'll chop your head off!"
Bai Shihai's ferocious appearance was even more insane than a madman's. Zhu Shengping repeatedly agreed: "Brother Hai, I know I was wrong. I'm not human. I swear, if I ever hurt Xiao Qing again, may I be struck by lightning."
Bai Shihai stomped his foot hard: "Stop calling my sister's name like that!"
A sharp pain shot through his neck, and Zhu Shengping's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets: "Brother Hai, I was wrong, Brother Hai! Brother Hai, Brother Hai, Brother Hai..."
He spoke so fast that Bai Shihai couldn't understand what he was saying.
"Remember what I said today."
Bai Shihai removed the shovel, and Zhu Shengping gasped for breath.
Bai Shihai picked up a shovel and prepared to leave.
"Hirako! Morihira!"
Upon hearing the news, Zhu's mother rushed over, hearing his voice before seeing him. She cried and wailed as she squeezed into the crowd.
She initially thought Zhu Shengping was just having a seizure and being restrained, but she never expected to see her son covered in blood.
"Shengping! Shengping..."
Zhu's mother fainted from fright, and Zhu's father roared, "Who? Who did this?! I'll kill him!"
Bai Shihai had already given up, but he turned back after hearing what Zhu's father said.
"I did it."
Bai Shihai, still seething with anger, approached Zhu's father and readily admitted it, leaving Zhu's father stunned on the spot.
Zhu's father squatted down to support his unconscious mother, his eyes sweeping over Bai Shihai with murderous intent: "Bai Shihai, I'm going to fight you to the death!"
"You'd better take care of your wife and kids first," Bai Shihai said through gritted teeth, his face dark.
Shen Heng squatted down: "If you want to fight, come find me. Don't just talk tough. Let me tell you, you surnamed Zhu, your son deserves to be in this state. No one's daughter is allowed to be bullied like this."
