Chapter 148 This is Good
"If we take this old cow away and slaughter it, maybe they will be happy and let your daughter go, right?"
A sinister smile emerged from the corner of Le Fei's mouth.
Old Liu's eyes instantly became bloodshot and he stared at Cong Lefei with anger.
His hands clenched into fists involuntarily, his nails almost digging into the flesh, and the anger surging in his heart almost swallowed him.
"From Lefei, I want to know how my daughter is doing now!"
Lao Liu's voice was trembling, but full of determination.
"What the hell are you doing! You said you would help the villagers get rich, but in the end all the money went into one person's pocket..."
Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth.
Before Lao Liu could finish his words, Zong Le Fei suddenly stood up, a murderous look flashed in his eyes, and then he kicked Lao Liu!
The action was swift and fierce, leaving Lao Liu no time to react.
Old Liu was completely unprepared and fell to the ground at once. The back of his head hit the hard ground and a sharp pain instantly spread throughout his body.
The woman next to him rushed forward and anxiously checked on Lao Liu's condition, her face full of fear and worry.
"Lao Liu, Lao Liu, how are you?"
The woman lifted up Lao Liu's upper body and called him softly, with tears in her eyes.
Old Liu touched his head, lay on the ground, and silently endured the pain.
Although his body felt as if it was being cut by a knife, he did not even dare to scream, for fear that it would attract even more brutal treatment from Le Fei.
Although people formed a circle around them, no one dared to step forward to stop it, and the feeling of fear filled the air.
Standing up from Le Fei, his eyes were cold and fierce, and he warned mercilessly: "I don't want to hear this a second time. The lives of the entire village depend on my face. If you dare not obey, no one will have a good ending!"
The voice was deep and full of authority, making people shiver involuntarily.
"I don't think you can eat this sweet potato! You have no sense of the overall situation and are not worth my attention at all."
Le Fei's eyes swept across the crowd and finally stopped on the fragrant roasted sweet potato in Lao Liu's hand. His words were full of disdain and contempt.
As he said that, Cong Lefei stretched out his hand and tried to snatch the sweet potato from Lao Liu's hand. His movements were clean and quick, as if he was already accustomed to plundering other people's property.
Old Liu thought that he still had to cook for Xiaoyuan in the evening, so he hurriedly protected it tightly and did not let Lefei take it away.
He hugged the sweet potato, which still had his body temperature, tightly, as if guarding the last glimmer of hope.
But Cong Lefei snatched the sweet potato away and slapped Lao Liu hard.
The sound of "pop" was loud and crisp, echoing in the quiet space, and it sounded particularly harsh.
Old Liu gasped in pain, and his hands loosened, and the sweet potato was snatched away from Le Fei.
At that moment, he felt a helplessness and sadness he had never felt before, and the last bit of light burning in his heart was completely extinguished by this violent blow.
After putting the sweet potatoes back into the bag, Cong Lefei turned around and prepared to go out, but before crossing the threshold.
He said in a strong tone: "Tomorrow I will take your old cow away. This is settled! No room for negotiation!"
These words were like a sharp needle, piercing the Liu family's hearts.
After saying that, Cong Lefei walked out without looking back.
Although his steps were steady, his back revealed an indescribable determination and strength.
When I walked out of the Liu family's door, I found that Qiao Jin and Fu Yanlin had already left.
There was silence all around, with only the sound of fallen leaves rustling in the autumn wind.
Only Liu Dayang remained there, feeding medicine to the old cow carefully.
When I looked up inadvertently, I met Cong Lefei's eyes.
This moment made Liu Dayang's heart tighten involuntarily, and he immediately became uneasy: "From Grandpa."
Facing Liu Dayang's nervous look, Cong Lefei did not show much warmth, but said with a smile that made people feel a little unnatural: "Xiaoyuan is helping Niu Nainai with her treatment."
This way of greeting adds a weird atmosphere to the air.
Feeling the strange look in the other person's eyes, Liu Dayang tried to keep himself calm and nodded slowly in response, then replied: "Yes, the doctor said that if we feed the cow the medicine in this way at night, she will get better tomorrow and her condition will not continue to deteriorate."
"Oh, I see."
Cong Lefei nodded, and then added, "In that case, Xiaoyuan will have to take better care of the cow tonight. I will come over tomorrow morning to check on her condition."
After saying this, the old man did not stay any longer and turned around and left this place filled with a heavy atmosphere.
Standing there and watching his gradually receding back, Liu Dayang's eyes began to change, from the initial panic to deep worry. His heart was filled with a feeling of powerlessness to fight against an unknown fate and an inexplicable and strong dissatisfaction with everything that was happening before his eyes.
Then he looked at his old cow partner, his eyes showing mixed emotions, tears almost bursting out, and whispered softly: "No matter what, please remember to protect yourself."
These words sound more like what he said to himself, and are also his most sincere expectations for the future.
As if it could sense the pain in its owner's heart, the honest old cow suddenly raised one of its front hoofs.
He patted Liu Dayang gently on the back a few times, as if trying to comfort him.
Although animals cannot express themselves in words, this kind of physical intimacy is enough to convey enough warmth and strength to humans.
Only after confirming that the old creature had successfully swallowed all the medicine did Liu Dayang return home.
However, as soon as he entered the door, the scene before him stunned him.
My father was half lying on the bed, wiping the injured part of his head with a wet cloth. The left side of his face was obviously swollen, and there was a very eye-catching palm print...
This was obviously the trace left by a fierce conflict with someone just now.
Seeing this scene, a surge of anger suddenly surged in my heart, as if a flame was burning in my chest.
He ran over hurriedly, his footsteps raising the dust on the ground, wanting to know the situation first.
"Dad, are you okay? Did that bastard beat you up?"
he asked breathlessly, his eyes sparking with concern and anger.
The mother at the side pleaded with her son with tears in her eyes, "Will you listen to me? Don't mess with that guy again. Why do you have to save this old cow? If you don't save it, the bad guy might not target us!"
She cried so hard that she could hardly speak, her tears flowed like a spring and her voice was so choked that it was heartbreaking.
"Now, after all the hard work of curing the old cow, he plans to come over and kill it to feed the dogs! By then, we won't even be able to see its shadow!"
