The countryside at night was filled with a tinge of deathly stillness. Tian Xiaolan, holding her stick, followed closely behind Xing Yifei. The two of them carefully avoided the pits on the road and walked step by step towards Wang Long's house. Soon, they arrived at Wang Long's door.
The gate to his house was gone, and he could enter the yard directly. The mad dog, once ferocious, now lay there listlessly, like an old man in his twilight years. When it saw Tian Xiaolan, it seemed to remember something and quickly closed its mouth, a hint of fear in its eyes.
Tian Xiaolan picked up a stone and held it in her hand. Xing Yifei and Tian Xiaolan flashed into the yard, came to the door of the house, and stood on the left and right in tacit understanding.
Tian Xiaolan made a gesture to Xing Yifei, who immediately nodded to show that he understood. Tian Xiaolan saw him nod, and knew that he understood what she meant.
Then, she raised her hand and began to knock on the door slowly. The person inside shouted impatiently, "Who are you? Speak."
Tian Xiaolan remained silent, knocking repeatedly. Wang Cuihua peered out the window, but it was pitch black outside, and she couldn't see a thing. Wang Long hadn't heard the dog barking outside, so he assumed it was someone he knew, and he opened the door without warning.
As soon as he opened the door, a huge brick hit him in the face, knocking Wang Long unconscious. Wang Cuihua was frightened when she saw him fall straight down, and she screamed and hid in the house.
Tian Xiaolan and Xing Yifei quickly rushed into the house and turned off the lights. The mad dog in the yard just lay there with its tail between its legs, not daring to move, as if it was frightened by the scene before it.
The room was dark with the lights off. Wang Cuihua ran inside and shivered as she hid under the bed. She crouched on the dusty floor, her eyes closed in fear, hoping they wouldn't find her. It was her father, the debtor who had always caused so much trouble, and now he was the one who came to her house. If only Chen Dong were here. That afternoon, her father had driven him away because he was useless. Now there was no one left at home who could fight her, and she was the only one left.
Xing Yifei saw Wang Cuihua quickly cutting off her tail to survive like a gecko, but the person she cut off was her own father. It was true that a friend in need is a friend indeed. If he and Tian Xiaolan were there, she would definitely stand by him.
Tian Xiaolan was now only thinking about finding the evidence, and walked into the room where she had seen the envelope before. Xing Yifei followed closely behind her and saw Wang Cuihua trembling under the bed.
Tian Xiaolan was about to speak when Xing Yifei covered her mouth and pointed to the bottom of the boat to indicate that there was someone there. Tian Xiaolan understood what he meant in two seconds.
He shut his mouth and came up with a plan. He pretended not to see anyone under the bed and said in a low, rough voice, "Brother, did you hear that noise? Where did that little girl go? If I find her, I'm going to have a blast! If her father doesn't pay for the medical expenses, we'll let him get away with it and see who's the tougher one!"
As soon as Tian Xiaolan opened her mouth, she understood her idea. Xing Yifei also pretended to be excited and said, "Hey, we are here to see if anyone has money. Let's not go too far."
"How could he have survived? If her dog hadn't bitten our brother Goudan, how could he have become like this? Who will pay the money he owes?" Tian Xiaolan increased her strength. She was not afraid of being discovered at all. Even if she was discovered, he was still there and was not afraid at all.
Xing Yifei echoed: "The old woman said he must have what we want here."
