Lin Cuiying ducked to avoid the sweeping blade, then used a wooden stick to diagonally poke the nerve under her opponent's armpit.
The man with the knife suddenly let his arm hang down, and the machete crashed onto the bluestone slab.
"Third Brother!" Just as the yellow-toothed man holding the wooden stick was about to pounce, Lai Pi Chun kicked him in the back of the knee.
"Don't fucking crowd together!" Lai Pi Chun spat out the blade of grass from his mouth, drawing a semi-circle with his machete across his chest. "Erhu, flank us from behind! Lao Wu, block the left!"
Lin Cuiying hooked the wooden stick and twirled it, saying, "Didn't your boss teach you? Before you rob someone, you need to know your own limitations."
"Are you all deaf?" Lai Pi Chun suddenly roared, his machete aimed straight at her face. "Don't waste your breath on her!"
The machete cleaved through the air in front of Lin Cuiying's eyes, and as she leaned back, she caught a glimpse of figures moving to her left and right.
The stench of decay and sweat pressed in from three directions as she swiftly retreated to the right, her heels grinding against the gravel.
At that moment, the system exploded in my brain, and this time it was finally not a bubble sound.
[Sweep horizontally with a wooden stick at a 45-degree angle to the left rear!]
She spun around and raised her elbow to block, her forearm going numb from the impact.
Scarface grinned maliciously and swung his arm again, the wooden stick in Lin Cuiying's hand making contact with him once more.
A crisp "crack" rang out, followed by a scream, and the system cheerfully announced: "[The third rib!]"
The putrid smell of alcohol suddenly approached the back of her neck, and Lin Cuiying jabbed the wooden stick behind her back.
A sticky sensation followed the wood grain, and turning my head, I was met with a gap-toothed mouth spitting blood.
Suddenly, a semi-transparent light screen popped up from the system, and five red dots were closing in on her to form an encirclement.
"A weakness in the southeast!" The mechanical voice was unusually urgent.
Lin Cuiying used her gap-toothed shoulders to flip over the encirclement, and when she landed, the wooden stick swept across her lower body.
The two men stumbled and bumped into each other.
[Slash with a machete at the two o'clock position!]
She sidestepped, a glint of cold light flashing, and the wooden stick slid down the back of the knife towards the opponent's tiger's mouth.
The man holding the knife cried out in pain and let go. Lin Cuiying caught the knife with the tip of her boot, and the blade grazed Lai Pichun's scalp, slicing off half of his bloody ear.
"Fuck your mother!"
Lai Pichun's scream sounded like a crow whose neck had been stepped on, and half of his bloody ear rolled twice in the dust.
He staggered backward, clutching his lacerated earlobe. Blood seeped from between his fingers, trickling down his neck and into his collar, staining his grey shirt with dark red smudges.
"My ears! My ears!" The hoarse voice shattered, startling the crows on the tree branches into taking flight.
"Now you know what pain is?" She flicked the blood off her machete. "Weren't you so imposing just now? Trying to surround me?"
Lai Pi Chun suddenly grabbed a piece of gravel from the ground and hurled it at her, blood and spittle spraying onto his beard. "Chop her up! Chop her into eight pieces, you bastard..."
The system screen suddenly flashed red light wildly: [A wooden stick is attacking from the three o'clock position!]
Without turning her head, Lin Cuiying threw the wood-chopping knife, the blade grazing the man's scalp and embedding itself in the locust tree, causing the withered leaves to fall in a rustling sound.
The man's legs buckled and he knelt on the ground, water dripping from his trousers.
"Who else wants to feed the dogs?" She hooked the wooden stick that the yellow-toothed man had dropped with her toe, and slammed the end of the stick to the ground with a "thud".
The moment the pebbles flew, the remaining three men all took two steps back.
This woman is so weird, it's like she has eyes in the back of her head.
Lin Cuiying didn't care what they thought; she was only thinking about how to deal with these people.
If this were a post-apocalyptic world, we'd just kill him.
But in this era, one cannot kill indiscriminately.
Lin Cuiying slowly approached, carrying a wooden stick. Lai Pichun covered his ears and staggered back: "You, you dare! You dare touch me, I... I won't let you get away with this!"
Even in this state, they're still spouting threats.
Even the system couldn't stand it anymore and directly displayed three emoticons on the screen: 【Disdain 2333】, 【(?°???°)?はいはい～Fake smile + perfunctory three-part combo】, 【Silent bot】.
Lin Cuiying almost laughed out of anger.
This system still has the mood to use emoticons, that's something else.
【The host can be bound~】The system added another mischievous smiley face.
Lin Cuiying: "..."
Bondage play?
This system is pretty good.
Lin Cuiying ignored the system and turned to Lai Pichun: "You won't let me go? Then what do you want?"
Lai Pichun was startled by her gaze, and his voice weakened: "I, we are from Black Wind Stronghold. You have offended us, and the leader will not let you off."
"Black Wind Stronghold?" Lin Cuiying raised an eyebrow. "Is it that impressive?"
Lai Pi Chun choked, not knowing what to say.
In their eyes, Black Wind Stronghold was certainly remarkable, after all, they relied on it for their livelihood.
But in the eyes of outsiders, Black Wind Stronghold is just a bunch of rabble, not worthy of respect.
"I don't care if you're Black Wind Stronghold or White Wind Stronghold, once you're in my hands, you won't have an easy time."
As Lin Cuiying spoke, she tied the group together like a string of candied hawthorns and then tied them to a tree nearby.
"Let you fend for yourselves here."
After saying that, Lin Cuiying turned and left.
Lai Pichun and his gang shouted anxiously, "Let us go! We promise we won't bother you again!"
Lin Cuiying ignored her and quickly disappeared into the woods.
Lai Pichun and the others were tied to the tree and unable to move, so they could only watch her leave.
"What should we do? Is she really gone?"
"Damn it, this woman is ruthless. She's really leaving us here to fend for ourselves."
"What do we do now? Are we really just going to wait here to die?"
The group looked at each other, their eyes filled with despair.
After leaving the woods, Lin Cuiying headed directly towards Luhua Village.
When she was almost at Luhua Village, she took out the basket from her spatial storage and slowly walked into the village with it on her back.
Along the way, many villagers saw her and greeted her warmly.
"Cuiying, you're back?"
"Cuiying, can you stay a few more days this time you're back?"
"Cuiying, your parents miss you terribly. Go back and spend some quality time with them."
Lin Cuiying responded with a smile, looking just like an ordinary woman returning to her parents' home.
The villagers were unaware that Lin Cuiying had returned after her divorce; they all assumed she had come back to visit her parents.
Will they be shocked when they find out the truth?
She wouldn't care about any shock or other thoughts.
She came back this time so that she and her parents could live a better life.
She didn't care at all what others thought.
Soon, Lin Cuiying returned home.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard her parents' voices coming from inside the house.
"Dad, why hasn't Yingzi come back yet? Could something have happened to her?"
"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about? Cuiying is a grown woman, what could possibly happen to her?"
"I'm just worried. What if she encounters danger on the way to town alone?"
Hearing her parents' words, Lin Cuiying felt a warmth in her heart and quickly shouted, "Father, Mother, I'm back!"
Hearing the noise, Lin Changgeng and Chen Shi quickly came out of the house.
