Mu Xia's pupils dilated to a magnitude 12 earthquake. Her eyes reflected the image of the brother and sister comforting each other. Were those features really on a human face?
Li Honghua was alright; apart from her slightly dark skin, her features, when put together, could be considered delicate and pretty.
That so-called third brother...
Her eyes, which were 8:20, were particularly eye-catching on her face. She had a bulbous nose, sausage lips, and her face was covered with acne scars and pits.
Mu Xia instinctively felt that her soul had been dealt a severe blow.
Regardless of their character, all the rich kids she had met were handsome and charming, or at the very least, slicked-back hair and powdered faces.
How did this third brother of the Li family manage to have such an outrageous face and strike such a roguish pose?
Some of the eyes, stung by the spiciness, refused to look any longer. Just as the brother and sister were about to react, one of them grabbed Li Honghua's long hair.
"Ah! Who?"
She recognized Mu Xia as soon as she spoke, and ignoring the pain, she pointed at her third brother and yelled, "Mu Xia, she's the Mu Xia who seduced Brother Chu Li!"
"Ouch! Third Brother, stop her!"
Li Wangbei snapped out of his daze, raised his hand to slap Mu Xia, but awkwardly realized the height difference between them.
He was only 1.6 meters tall, while Mu Xia was a full 1.7 meters tall. He had to raise his hand to hit her, so he changed from slapping to kicking.
Mu Xia estimated that this kick would probably hit her glass cover.
Just as that short leg was right in front of her, Mu Xia quickly kicked out and stomped down on Li Wangbei's shin, cutting it off at the knee.
A crisp cracking sound rang out, and Li Wangbei bent over, clutching his leg as he fell to the ground. A few drops of cold sweat instantly seeped from his forehead, and his mouth gaped open.
He finally understood that when a person is in extreme pain, they really can't make a sound.
"Third brother, third brother, let go! What did you do to my third brother?"
Li Honghua was like a maggot in Mu Xia's hands, twisting her body desperately. In a moment of quick thinking, she cried out loudly, "Help! Help! The Flathead Brigade has come to our door!"
Mu Xia sneered and raised her hand to slap her face.
This time, not only was her lip broken by her teeth, but blood was also gushing from her nose. Li Honghua saw stars. She had never been so humiliated in her life, let alone received such a heavy slap.
Soon there was commotion outside, and the villagers of Sandaogouzi, who had heard the Pingtou Brigade coming to their door, quickly gathered around.
The two villages already had a grudge over tree bark and water during the famine. When they heard that the other village was bullying them, they immediately grabbed their weapons and went to their aid.
The tents were surrounded.
Mu Xia, who neither intended to make a scene nor cared about it, originally planned to give Li Honghua a good beating and that would be the end of it. She always had more kindness towards girls and disliked female rivalry.
Unexpectedly, the other party escalated the conflict between the two individuals to a conflict between the two villages.
Feeling somewhat troubled, I heard shouts outside and knew things were getting complicated. Ultimately, I still didn't understand the cohesion of a village at this time.
Li Honghua, whose hair was being pulled, went from being scared to being arrogant and smug. "Scared now? Let me tell you, if you don't give the Sandaogou Brigade an explanation today, don't even think about leaving this riverbank."
What does an explanation entail? Nothing more than an apology and compensation.
Mu Xia sneered, grabbed Li Honghua by the hair and dragged her out of the tent. A dozen people had already gathered outside the tent, and it seemed that more and more people were gathering.
"Who are you? From the Flathead Brigade? Did the Red Army send you to cause trouble?"
"Let go of the red flower first, or don't blame us for being impolite."
"Aren't you going to be polite?" Mu Xia assessed each other's fighting strength and, after deciding there were no problems, threw the person to the ground. "We might as well ask her what she did first."
...
Meanwhile, Ruan Xianxian, who had been waiting for Mu Xia to return in front of the stone stove for a long time, was preparing to make another egg pancake while she had some time. She had already cut up the shredded potatoes as a side dish.
Looking up, I could see a faint commotion coming from the dimly lit riverbank ahead.
At first, neither she nor Chen Zhaodi paid much attention. They were just about to set up a pot, pour oil, and make some thin pancakes when they heard someone shouting something about a fat man taking on an entire village.
The two exchanged a glance, dropped their cooking utensils, and ran towards the center of the incident.
When they arrived, Mu Xia was taking down the last villager from Sandaogou, while a crowd of onlookers gathered nearby, pointing and commenting on the scene.
Ruan Xianxian could tell that Mu Xia was not in good condition either. She was still sick and, after a fight, was unsteady on her feet.
But she didn't rush to participate. She was crazy, not reckless, until Li Gang, who had come from who-knows-where, came back with a hoe in hand and bloodshot eyes and smashed the hoe down on Mu Xia's head.
In the blink of an eye, all the villagers who had been watching the commotion had retreated to the side. Mu Xia realized something was wrong and tried to hide, but due to her size, it was too late...
He was about to turn his head to take the hit with his non-lethal shoulder.
At the critical moment, Mu Xia extended a small, white fist from behind, meeting Li Gang's attack head-on.
The fist collided with the hoe handle, which was as thick as a baby's arm, and the handle snapped in two with a bang.
A moment of silence followed, then a collective gasp filled the air. Everyone stood frozen in shock. Was that really a fist? Or some lump of iron?
Ignoring the growing murmurs around her, Ruan Xianxian turned her head and looked expressionlessly at the gloomy-faced captain of the Sandaogou brigade, then let out a roar and pounced on him.
She wasn't a cool and sassy older sister type; when she hit someone, she always made sure everyone knew why that person was being hit, so as not to give the enemy an advantage or create obstacles for herself.
She rushed forward, clenched her fist, and delivered a left hook to Li Gang, shouting, "Trying to kill someone by hitting them on the head with a hoe?!"
Bang--
Li Gang was struck hard on the right cheek, causing him to fall backward and cough up blood, along with a yellow front tooth.
That wasn't all. Ruan Xianxian caught up again in one stride, grabbed her little hand and punched her once more. "The soldiers in front are risking their lives to fill the river channel, and you're actually ambushing and killing people from behind."
