Xu Damao was relieved, but Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were terrified.
Liu Haizhong came to his senses and ran over, slapping Liu Guangtian on the back of the head: "Damn it, you two just stood there watching, didn't you know to stop them? If someone gets killed, your old man will be in the police station."
Liu Haizhong slapped Liu Guangtian with all his might, making him see stars.
That said, it seems that Old Liu never held back when he beat his son.
"Dad, it's really not our fault. It happened too fast. By the time we saw it, it was already happening. There was no time to stop it." Liu Guangtian was in so much pain that tears were almost coming out of his eyes.
Although it hurt when he was beaten before, it was at home behind closed doors. Now that he's a grown man, he still feels ashamed in front of everyone.
"Yes, Dad, it's not that we don't want to, it's just that there's no time at all."
Seeing his second brother being beaten, Liu Guangfu shuddered instantly, and half of the sweat on his back dried up. He hurriedly explained, "If anyone is to blame, it's Xu Damao for being so unruly, hitting people with a belt and an iron head. Isn't that trying to kill someone?"
*Smack!!!*
Liu Haizhong slapped Liu Guangfu on the back of the head again, "Did I ask you? You're just spouting nonsense here. Stay put."
With tears welling up in his eyes, Liu Guangfu bit his lip, nodded, and walked to the side, standing quietly without saying another word.
“Old Liu, don’t blame the kids. I was standing there too. Xu Damao acted too quickly. Even if I rushed up to stop him, I would only get beaten up for him.” Yan Bugui sighed heavily and came to Liu Haizhong’s side. He seemed to be pleading for the two children, but in reality, he was just trying to exonerate himself.
Liu Haizhong sighed, "Let's go see how Sha Zhu is doing!" He could scold and beat his own son, but he couldn't scold Yan Bugui.
After saying that, Liu Haizhong turned his head and glared at Xu Damao, who was sitting on the bench smoking.
After the initial excitement wore off, Xu Damao began to regret his actions, fearing that his iron head might accidentally kill Sha Zhu. After being glared at by Liu Haizhong, he had no choice but to throw away his cigarette butt and dejectedly get off the bench, then came to Sha Zhu's side.
At this moment, Sha Zhu had stopped rolling around. His body was curled up, his head was buried in his arms, his legs were tightly pressed together, and his hands were still placed on his crotch, as if he had fainted.
Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, Xu Damao, Wang Dabao, the Liu brothers, Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiekuang, the deaf old lady, and Yi Zhonghai and his wife all gathered around.
"Zhu Zi, my dear grandson, you absolutely cannot be hurt!"
The deaf old woman's hand, which was holding a cane, slid down little by little. Then she threw the cane away, reached out and stroked Sha Zhu's head. "Zhu Zi, if anything happens to you, how will Grandma live?"
“Grandma, you mustn’t be too sad. At your age, it’s easy to hurt your health.” Yi Zhonghai came over and tried to help the deaf old lady up. “Don’t worry, Zhuzi will be fine.”
The deaf old woman dared to lose her temper with everyone in the compound, but she dared not give Yi Zhonghai a hard time.
Even though she was worried about Sha Zhu, she could only let Yi Zhonghai help her up.
Then the deaf old woman raised her cane and struck Xu Damao, shouting, "I'll beat you to death, you heartless little beast! You hit me so hard, you just wanted to kill my grandson!"
"Oh, old lady, please don't do anything rash. Sha Zhu has only himself to blame for this, so don't blame me."
In his haste, Xu Damao stretched out his arm to stop him, but the cane hit his arm and he winced in pain. "Ouch, old lady, you really hit me? I don't want to argue with you because of your age, but don't go too far."
"Xu Damao, what do you want? You think you can fight back against the old lady?" The deaf old woman pursed her pale lips tightly. "Let me tell you, even your father wouldn't dare to talk to me like that. You little beast, do you think you can turn the world upside down?"
Wang Dabao, Yan Bugui, and Liu Haizhong exchanged glances. Yan Bugui swallowed and was about to step forward to say a few words when the deaf old woman cried out, her knees buckled, and she knelt down on the ground with a thud.
Even though Yi Zhonghai was supporting her, the accident happened so suddenly that Yi Zhonghai was caught off guard and lost his grip, causing the deaf old woman to kneel down facing Xu Damao.
Wang Dabao caught a glimpse of Yan Jiekuang's figure out of the corner of his eye and thought to himself that this kid was shrewd and had the same style as him when he was shooting from the shadows!
"Oh dear, old lady, what are you doing? I can't accept your kneeling. Get up, get up."
Xu Damao feigned a panicked expression, but his eyes were full of mockery. "It's just that she scolded me a couple of times. It's nothing. Even if the old lady knows she was wrong and wants to apologize, she doesn't need to do this."
Yi Zhonghai quickly went behind the deaf old woman, scooped her up with both hands, and then glared angrily at Xu Damao.
"Xu Damao, what nonsense are you spouting? You're even joking about the old lady? Is this how your father raised you?"
"How my dad educates me is none of your business, but you want to educate your son? Do you even have the ability?" Xu Damao grumbled.
"Xu Damao, you..."
Yi Zhonghai was instantly enraged. He released his hand from the deaf old woman, clutched his chest with one hand, and pointed at Xu Damao with the other, saying, "How can you talk like that? I am your elder, after all."
If it weren't for the fact that he would be punished soon, Yi Zhonghai would have slapped Xu Damao across the face long ago.
Xu Damao is now the third-in-command, while Liu Haizhong, the eldest-in-command, is at odds with Yi Zhonghai. Liu's status in the compound is even lower than that of an ordinary resident, so Xu Damao naturally doesn't take him seriously.
Xu Damao snorted coldly and turned his head away.
"Old Yi, Da Mao didn't mean it, why bother taking it to heart?" Yan Bugui chuckled and stopped Yi Zhonghai's outstretched arm. "Besides, the old lady's words were indeed harsh. Who wouldn't be angry after being spoken to like that, right?!"
Liu Haizhong, maintaining his composure, grunted twice: "Old Yan is right. Xu Damao is a mediator now, and besides, he did nothing wrong. How can we let the old lady start cursing like that?"
After a moment's thought, Liu Haizhong looked at Wang Dabao and asked, "Brother Dabao, what do you think we should do now?"
"Let's check on Sha Zhu's condition first."
Then Wang Dabao nudged Yan Bugui with his elbow and asked, "Old Yan, how many shots?"
“It’s forty-three belts,” Yan Bugui said.
Wang Dabao squatted down to check on Sha Zhu's condition. He saw that Sha Zhu was lying on the ground breathing evenly, but he was unable to respond to the crowd due to pain in his lower body.
Lifting the tattered cloth covering Sha Zhu's buttocks revealed that his lower body was covered in blood, and the extent of his wounds was obscured.
Even Xu Damao, who was watching from the side, frowned and took two steps to the side in disgust.
"Ouch, Xu Damao, don't push me! Ouch..."
Yan Jiekuang's small body was bumped by Xu Damao and fell sideways towards Shazhu.
