Although he gave Mo Xiaobao three strings of cash to ask his father to cancel the engagement, Pei Shaorong was still worried. After separating from Mo Xiaobao, he did not return to the village directly, but asked for directions and ran to the next village. He was going to look for Pan the blacksmith.
Apart from the matter of his father, the source of Mo Xiaobao's marriage ultimately lies with Blacksmith Pan. If one wants to prevent Mo Xiaobao from getting married, the best way is to prevent Blacksmith Pan from getting married himself!
When making this decision, Pei Shaorong felt like he was crazy. Why would he be so nosy as to help someone he had just met? This is totally unlike the style of someone who came back from the end of the world.
To be honest, who Mo Xiaobao marries is none of his business. Why should he spend money and effort to help him break off the engagement?
But when he thought about the fact that Mo Xiaobao was going to marry an old man who could be his father, and who was a drunkard and a jerk, Pei Shaorong felt a little upset when he saw the sadness on that little face.
Pei Shaorong felt choked up and his mind was dizzy. By the time he reached the next village and realized what was happening, there was no way to retreat.
Now that we're here, we can't just go back like this, right? It turns out that this young man Mo Xiaobao is quite to my liking. I'll just treat him as a living Lei Feng!
Pei Shaorong changed his mind and found a deserted place to hide out.
He had heard about it when he was asking around in Linjiang Village. Blacksmith Pan from the neighboring village was very easy to recognize. He was the only lame man in the village, and his face was covered with pockmarks. He could be recognized at a glance!
While waiting for someone, Pei Shaorong was planning in his mind how to make Pan the blacksmith cancel the engagement on his own accord.
He never expected that he would be thankful countless times in the future for ruining Mo Xiaobao's marriage on this whim, otherwise his wife would have become someone else's!
He stared at every person passing by the village entrance. Finally, when it was dark, Pei Shaorong saw a short figure limping and staggering towards him in the distance...
Blacksmith Pan limped home with the bottle of wine. The old winery had brewed new wine today, and the taste was amazing.
Although the price is a bit high, the aftereffect of this wine is much stronger than that of ordinary wine. In the past, he would get drunk after two jars of wine, but today he started to feel dizzy after drinking one bottle. Tsk tsk, I'll buy another bottle tomorrow.
"Hey, drunkard Pan, are you drinking again? You're just a dog that can't change its nature. The girl from the Mo family in the next village is about to marry into our family. You better be more restrained, or she might not marry you!"
The villagers passing by shook their heads and sighed when they saw Blacksmith Pan coming back drunk. They thought that this drunkard Pan would never be able to change his drinking habit in his lifetime.
"Go away! How dare he refuse to marry me even though I've given him all the betrothal gifts!"
Blacksmith Pan blushed and cursed, "I will have to teach him a lesson when he marries me tomorrow. I heard that he is not an honest person. When he marries me and lives in my house, I will set some rules for him..."
After cursing a few words, Blacksmith Pan continued to walk home. If it weren't for the bitch in front of him who hanged herself to death and wanted to trick him, he wouldn't have been unable to find a remarriage and would not have had to marry a young man from the neighboring village.
He had also heard about the young man from the Mo family, who had been broken off from engagement and had even lost his virginity by getting naked in front of outsiders. If he was willing to marry that young man, he should burn incense and thank his ancestors.
Even though she is not innocent, I heard that she is hardworking. Most of his family's land is cultivated by him, so it would be a good deal to marry her.
I'm too old to do any iron work these past two years, so it would be nice to marry this boy and have him reclaim some land and grow some crops. It would be even better if he could give birth to a son. That bitch is a dead chicken.
Hehe, even though that guy's body has been seen by others, he has never been married and he is not ugly. It would be nice to marry him and keep the bed warm and do housework!
Blacksmith Pan was happily thinking about marrying a capable and warm new wife in a few days. He drank the wine in the bottle and walked leisurely. He didn't notice that there was someone following him...
It was getting late at this time, and it was already dark when Blacksmith Pan walked slowly back home.
When he got home, Blacksmith Pan didn't cook dinner. He drank the rest of the wine in the bottle, fell on the bed without taking a shower or taking off his clothes, and began to snore.
When Pei Shaorong came in, Pan the blacksmith was already fast asleep. The smell of alcohol and bad odors in the room made him hold his nose and hold his breath.
Looking around Blacksmith Pan's house, Pei Shaorong cursed in his heart, is this a fucking place for people to live or just a garbage dump?
Not to mention the wine jars everywhere in the room, the clothes and pants scattered everywhere, the dust on the tables and cabinets was almost caked, and the spider webs on the roof were almost covering the entire roof. Just now he saw a bowl of food on the table, and the food inside was covered with hair...
Pei Shaorong walked to the bedside with his nose covered. He was almost fainted by the smell of alcohol and the sour smell from not taking a bath for many years on Blacksmith Pan's body.
Quickly taking out a towel from the space to cover his nose and mouth, Pei Shaorong raised his hand and punched Pan the blacksmith hard, knocking him unconscious.
He kicked Blacksmith Pan twice in disgust, dragged him into the yard, found a rope, tied him up and hung him on a crooked fruit tree in the yard.
After covering Blacksmith Pan's mouth tightly with his own belt, Pei Shaorong drew a bucket of water from the well nearby and poured it on Blacksmith Pan.
The weather now is not too cold, but not too hot either. Blacksmith Pan woke up immediately after being splashed with cold water in the middle of the night.
“Wuwuwu…”
When he suddenly woke up, Blacksmith Pan found himself tied up and hung on the crooked tree in his own home. As it was too dark, he could only see a tall man standing in front of him, but could not make out what he looked like.
With his belt stuffed in his mouth, Blacksmith Pan stopped talking. This belt, which had not been washed for eight or ten years, was usually tied around his body and he didn't feel it, but when it was stuffed in his mouth, the sour and stinky smell almost made him faint!
Faced with the stench, Blacksmith Pan suddenly forgot that he was still hanging on the tree. He was still thinking that when he married Mo Xiaobao tomorrow, he would have to ask him to wash all the clothes in the house.
It was not until Pei Shaorong's fist landed on him again that Pan the blacksmith reacted. The strong fist landed on his body, and the belt was stuffed in his mouth. He couldn't even scream in pain and could only whimper.
Who, who hit him, which gangster dared to hit him, Blacksmith Pan, Ouch, who the hell comes to beat him up in the middle of the night, Ouch, Blacksmith Pan screamed in his heart.
For someone like Pei Shaorong who came back from the end of the world, violence is his favorite way to solve problems. He felt particularly comfortable fighting after not using fists and feet for a long time.
However, Pei Shaorong had no intention of taking the life of Blacksmith Pan. He targeted the soft flesh that could not be killed and punched Blacksmith Pan solidly with one punch after another.
After the beating was over, Pan the blacksmith had almost no strength to call for help. Pei Shaorong then took out a long machete from the space and put it on Pan the blacksmith's neck, which scared him so much that he peed.
"Fuck!" Pei Shaorong cursed and immediately took a step back. He had just taken the belt from Blacksmith Pan, and now he was peeing right in front of himself.
Avoiding the front of Blacksmith Pan, Pei Shaorong walked to his side and put the knife to Blacksmith Pan's neck again and said viciously.
"Blacksmith Pan, right? Listen, I'm going to the Mo family to break off the engagement tomorrow. If you dare to marry Mo Xiaobao, I'll stab you to death!"
“………” Blacksmith Pan’s mouth was stuffed and he couldn’t speak. Upon hearing this, he turned his head to try to see Pei Shaorong’s face, but was directly hit by a punch.
"What are you looking at? Do you want revenge?" Pei Shaorong kicked Pan the blacksmith. "If you dare to play tricks, I will kill you tomorrow night and burn your house down!"
After saying that, Pei Shaorong started punching him again without saying a word.
Verbal threats alone are not very effective in dealing with a bastard like Pan the Blacksmith. The most practical way is to beat him until he is scared and convinced!
Blacksmith Pan was short to begin with, and although he had a strong body from years of blacksmithing, he could not compare to Pei Shaorong's tall stature and strength. He was beaten up again, and this time he really didn't have the strength to make a sound.
After clapping his hands and thinking that the fight was almost over, Pei Shaorong pulled the belt out of Pan the blacksmith's mouth and said, "I will cancel the engagement tomorrow, did you hear me?"
"Listen, I heard it, please spare my life, spare my life..."
After being beaten twice in a row for no apparent reason, how could Blacksmith Pan dare to say no? He nodded quickly, staring at the tall black shadow in front of him with his body shaking violently.
He is usually a bad-tempered and rascal, but he is just a bully at home. Relying on his strength as a blacksmith, he only dares to bully the neighbors around his home, and he dares not provoke the fierce ones.
This is the first time I've encountered someone like Pei Shaorong who beats me up without even saying a word. Now I'm in so much pain all over my body.
He nodded in agreement, but stared at Pei Shaorong's outline with a resentful look, obviously planning to fool him now and take revenge later.
Pei Shaorong knew what he was thinking, he had seen a lot of things in the apocalypse. He stuffed the belt in his hand into Pan the blacksmith's mouth again and let him continue to hang on the tree.
Then he ran to the next door house and caught a rooster, put down the silver and returned to the yard of Blacksmith Pan's house.
As he watched with horror, he killed the rooster with a knife and hung it above his head with a rope. The chicken blood flowed all over Blacksmith Pan's head, and he was so scared that his legs trembled continuously.
"You'd better go to the Mo family and break off the engagement without any tricks, or else it won't be this rooster that's hanging here bleeding tomorrow, but you!"
"You'd better keep your mouth shut about what happened tonight, otherwise I won't be called the 108th hero of Liangshan for nothing!"
After threatening Blacksmith Pan fiercely again, Pei Shaorong clapped his hands in satisfaction, turned around and left, leaving Blacksmith Pan hanging on the tree.
The next morning, blacksmith Pan, who had been hanged all night, was found by a neighbor who had lost his rooster. The neighbor was so frightened that he didn't care about his rooster and rushed to rescue Pan.
Finally he was rescued. However, Blacksmith Pan's first reaction after being rescued was not to say thank you, but to crawl over and take the engagement letter and go to the Mo family to cancel the engagement.
Cancel the engagement! Propose marriage!
This is the only thought in Pan the blacksmith's mind now...
