Ma Yunfei asked, "Who told you that the Wang family's son bought a small house in Xiaoli Village, five miles away?"
"It was...it was the old man who cleans here who told me."
Ma Yunfei was taken aback and pressed, "You mean, the deaf-mute woman's husband knows about this?"
"Yes, I heard that the deaf-mute old lady's husband is in charge of treating those dogs."
Ma Yunfei was very surprised. Yesterday, he and Ye Ya had a meal at the deaf-mute old woman's house and chatted for a while, but the old woman's husband did not reveal any information about this.
It seems that the deaf-mute woman's husband is no ordinary person either. One of them cleans the Wang family's villa, while the other treats Wang Xiaobian's dog. Clearly, this elderly couple are people the Wang family trusts.
Ma Yunfei said to Ye Ya, "Let the old man go."
Wild Girl untied the old man and threatened, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today. If you do, we'll settle the score with you."
Wild Girl pulled a gleaming dagger from her waist and waved it in front of the old man.
The old man said repeatedly, "I won't cause trouble for myself. I won't tell anyone that you two came here."
Ma Yunfei took out two hundred yuan from his pocket, stuffed it into the old man's hand, and said, "Go buy some wine to calm your nerves."
Ma Yunfei and Ye Ya left the villa and immediately went to Xiao Li Village.
Xiaoli Village is located deep in the mountains, with only about ten households. These households live very scattered, some on this mountain ridge and some on that mountain ridge.
Ma Yunfei went to a family's house. The family looked quite poor, with two thatched huts. The thatch on the roof was black and overgrown with grass.
Ma Yunfei stood in front of the house and called out, "Is anyone home?"
A woman in her forties came out of the house, carrying a child in her arms, with three other children following behind her.
The older sister-in-law asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Ma Yunfei had a sudden inspiration and asked, "We're from the city and wanted to buy some local specialties."
The elder sister-in-law pointed to a few stones in the yard and said, "Please sit down."
Ma Yunfei and Ye Ya sat down.
The eldest sister-in-law also found a rock to sit on.
Ma Yunfei sighed inwardly. This family was so poor that they didn't even have a stool and had to use a stone as a stool. It was clear that they were dirt poor.
"Sister-in-law, you have four children?"
The eldest sister-in-law replied, "I have seven children, and three of them have gone to school and haven't come back yet."
Ma Yunfei was startled. No wonder they were so poor; it turned out they had a litter of children.
Where is your husband?
“My husband works in the city as a construction worker, but he doesn’t have any skills and can only do manual labor, so he doesn’t earn much money.”
Ma Yunfei took out five hundred yuan from his pocket, handed it to his sister-in-law, and said, "Sister-in-law, this is a little something from me. Take it and buy some food and clothes for the children."
When Ma Yunfei saw that the children were all dressed in tattered clothes, and were only seven or eight years old, with their buttocks exposed, it was really indecent.
The woman didn't stand on ceremony; she took the money, put it in her pocket, and said, "Young man, you are such a kind person."
"Sister-in-law, I heard that in your Xiaoli Village, there's a family who sold their house to city dwellers to keep dogs. Do you know where that family lives?"
The older sister-in-law pointed to the east and said, "There's a family on that mountain ridge over there. The man of the house used to be a construction contractor. He made a lot of money in recent years and bought a house in the city. His whole family moved there. He sold his three big brick houses to a rich man in the city, who uses them to keep dogs. I heard he keeps a lot of strange and unusual dogs."
"Sister-in-law, didn't you go to that family's house to check on the dog?"
"No, after that rich man bought these three tiled houses, he built a wall around them and enclosed a large courtyard. The wall is one and a half people high, so I can't see anything even if I want to."
"Who is that person feeding the dog?"
"The tycoon hired a young couple from our village to feed his dogs."
After finding out the details, Ma Yunfei bid farewell to the woman.
He and Ye Ya immediately climbed up the ridge at the east end of the mountain, and from a distance, they could see the red wall.
When they were about fifty or sixty meters away from the wall, they heard the barking of dogs.
Judging from the barking, there are at least a dozen or twenty dogs inside.
There was also a large iron gate in this courtyard, which was tightly closed.
The wall was about one and a half meters high. Ye Ya jumped over the wall and looked into the yard. He said, "Brother Ma, there's no one in the yard."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a young man came out of the tiled house and shouted, "Who are you? Why are you climbing on the wall? Do you want to die? The vicious dogs here will bite you to death."
Wild Girl giggled and said, "Handsome, are you a dog owner?"
"Get down there right now!"
What if I don't leave?
"Where...where did you come from? I don't think I've ever seen you before."
"Handsome, I'm from the city. I heard there are a lot of dogs here, which I found quite interesting, so I came to see what was going on."
"You wild girl, you actually climbed up the wall to watch the fun! Aren't you afraid of falling into the yard and being bitten to death by these dogs?"
Are the dogs here very powerful?
"Yes, these dogs will pounce on any stranger they encounter and tear you to shreds. The locals all know how fierce the dogs are, so no one dares to enter this yard, let alone climb over this wall."
"Handsome, I don't believe it."
Wild Girl jumped into the yard.
There were seven or eight dogs in the yard. When they saw Ye Ya jump down, they all pounced on her.
Wild Girl used her legs to sweep and her fists to hit the dogs. All of them were beaten, and they tucked their tails between their legs and scurried to the base of the wall. They looked at Wild Girl, only daring to bark, but not daring to pounce on her.
The young man feeding the dog asked, "Hey girl, you're pretty good! I see you know martial arts. Who taught you?"
Ye Ya said with a grin, "I'm self-taught, I didn't have a teacher."
Her martial arts skills were all taught by her father.
The young man asked suspiciously, "You...you don't seem like an ordinary person. What exactly do you want from here?"
Ye Ya glanced at the three tiled houses and asked, "Are you the only one here?"
"What...what do you want to do?"
Ye Ya chuckled and asked, "Where's your wife?"
The young man was taken aback and asked, "How did you know I have a wife?"
"I guessed it. Just by looking at your face, I knew you'd been married before, and I also knew you were henpecked."
The young man was taken aback and stammered, "You...you can read faces?"
"Yes, judging from your appearance, you're in for a bloody disaster soon. You'll either lose your life or lose an arm or a leg."
The young man turned pale with fright and asked in a panic, "Girl, are you a fairy?"
