Was he really laughing?
No, that twisted and insane grief was far worse than a good cry; it was like a madman going hysterically out of control—yes, his mother was relieved with a smile.
The woman was trapped in a cycle of suffering, unable to live or die, and even lacked the strength to commit suicide, struggling in the clutches of evil...
The old man beside him had already plopped down on the ground.
In his cloudy, aged eyes, there was an indelible fear. Looking at the blood splattered on Xiao Jiang Shihe's face, even though the old man had the courage to chop off someone's head with a single blow of his axe, he was terrified by Xiao Jiang Shihe's madness at this moment.
The old man had initially thought that Jiang Shihe was pointing the knife at his own chest, but he never expected—
He actually killed his own mother.
Even the usually audacious old man was trembling with fear at this moment. He was indeed insane, but deep down the old man felt that he was no match for this madman.
"A madman, he's a fucking madman..."
The old man's face twitched uncontrollably, and the curve of his lips was extremely forced. But when he met Xiao Jiang Shihe's eyes, the old man's expression turned completely ugly.
There was no hatred, no anger in Xiao Jiang Shihe's eyes...
He seemed to be looking at a dead person.
Upon discovering this, the old man flew into a rage, even suppressing the fear he had felt earlier: "You bastard, who gave you permission to look at me like that?!"
"It's our Jiang family who raised you, and the fact that you still have a bastard's child. We're already being kind by letting you live. And you dare to look at me like that, and you even dare to stab this woman to death?! I should have strangled you to death the moment you were born!!!"
He kept cursing, his eyes filled with intense hatred and resentment as he looked at Xiao Jiang Shihe—the Jiang family had originally bought that uncouth peasant woman who had been abducted, intending to marry her to the eldest son of the Jiang family so that she could give birth to a son and carry on the family line.
As it turned out, that uncouth peasant woman was also unreliable; she actually lured a couple along. Although she managed to get rid of the man, the old man never expected that the woman was already pregnant. He thought that the eldest son of the Jiang family was doing well.
Unexpectedly, as this bastard grew older, it became increasingly strange that he bore no resemblance to the eldest son of the Jiang family. The old man nearly beat the woman half to death before she finally told him the truth.
This child isn't from the Jiang family; he's the descendant of that dead man. This really drove the old man crazy.
They originally wanted to kill Xiao Jiang Shihe, but this woman kept protecting him and even threatened to kill herself. It's pitiful that their family has already spent a lot of money to buy this woman and can't afford a second one, so they can only reluctantly endure it and let her give birth to a second child.
But now things are different.
The eldest son of the Jiang family drowned, and the woman was stabbed to death.
Thinking of this, the old man was so angry he could hardly breathe. He pointed at the woman's corpse and cursed at Xiao Jiang Shihe: "That woman is fucking slutty. If she hadn't been so unchaste, how could she have given birth to you, this bastard, and brought us so much trouble!"
"Damn it, I shouldn't have spared your life!"
As the old man spoke, he rushed forward, grabbed a stool from the side, and was about to smash it hard against Xiao Jiang Shihe.
Seeing Xiao Jiang Shihe standing there blankly, seemingly lost in thought, he didn't even flinch or flinch.
The first to become anxious was Ruan Qing'an, who was forced to watch from the side. She clearly knew that with that thin membrane he had given her, she couldn't even touch him or change anything, but she still instinctively rushed forward and stood in front of him.
Even though her slight fear of the old man made her subconsciously close her eyes and her body tremble uncontrollably, Ruan Qing'an still didn't move her feet.
"...You can't stop her, sister."
"This is a memory, everything from the past is what I deserve. This... is my fate. You can't stop it, and you can't change it."
Xiao Jiang Shihe lowered his head and murmured softly.
As if echoing his words, the old man's swung stool passed right through Ruan Qing'an's body. She shattered like a wisp of smoke, only to be pulled back to her original state by his power, but—as he said, nothing was stopped.
The stool slammed viciously onto Xiao Jiang Shihe's head, knocking him to the ground instantly. His young body lay sprawled on the floor, blood seeping from his forehead.
Large swaths of blood stained his excessively superior appearance, and drops of blood fell, mixing with the blood of the women on the ground.
The old man stepped forward again and passed through Nguyen Thanh An once more.
She could only stand there stiffly, her back turned, and even turning around seemed pale and powerless—because there was nothing she could do, and even if she turned her head, she would only witness his helplessness.
Behind him, the old man's cursing and beating continued, but the little boy being beaten never uttered a single pleas for mercy or a groan.
037 said, almost in fear, "He'll be beaten to death..."
Ruan Qing'an stood there, her fingertips trembling uncontrollably as she clutched the hem of her clothes. Finally, just as she was about to turn around—
"No...don't look at me, sister..."
"Please..."
Even when he was beaten bloody, he didn't utter a single word, but he begged her not to turn away—he didn't want to expose his wounds, and he didn't want her to see his disheveled and distorted appearance.
finally--
A sharp siren pierced the deathly silence of the night!
The old man who was still fighting shuddered, startled, and couldn't help but curse, "Who the hell is this?!"
But the sirens outside grew louder and louder, making the old man panic. He didn't know what was happening, but he instinctively felt that something was wrong. Just as he got up, a weak yet distorted mocking voice came from outside.
"Hahaha……"
Xiao Jiang Shihe, lying on his side on the ground, was bleeding profusely from his head and on the verge of death, but a wide smile stretched across his blood-stained lips, as happy as the smile of a woman before her death.
He laughed in a hoarse voice, and an unnamed fear welled up in the old man's heart. Then the old man took a few steps back.
Xiao Jiang Shihe finally spoke: "Haha... I've finally waited for this! Soon... it will be over soon. All of you, the whole story of Fengxian Village, will be made public..."
"Disgusting, so disgusting... Hahaha—"
He laughed mockingly, and before the old man could retort, a cracking sound came from outside the brick house, followed by a series of crashes. The old man wanted to go out to check, but was held back tightly by Xiao Jiang Shihe and could not move at all.
Ruan Qingan hesitated for a moment, then ran out.
Only then did she realize that the outside world was engulfed in flames. Starting from the Jiang family's house, the raging fire almost consumed everything in sight, and beyond the blazing inferno, police cars arrived one after another.
Her pupils contracted involuntarily.
