Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Two Crazy Old Ladies Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Two Crazy Old Ladies “Hiss…”
Because it was too painful, Bai Ye’s mouth twisted into a grotesque angle, and his entire figure appeared particularly ugly under the night light, not to mention his whole being emanated a sinister air from being beaten.
“Brother, please, a little gentler, I’m dying of pain.”
The pain brought Bai Ye back to reality. His body, every inch of his skin, couldn’t bear to be touched. He had no idea how Bai Zhi, that damn girl, could be so strong. With each hit, he felt an unbearable heaviness, as if his entire body was falling apart, certainly not a single spot untouched.
“We need to hurry and leave, we can’t stay here.”
Bai Yu frowned; of course, he knew pain. Bai Zhi and Bai Fei had struck with such ruthlessness just now that he didn’t dare step forward, deeply fearing he’d be the next victim of those two madwomen.
“Let me recover a bit, I’m in pain…”
As Bai Ye spoke, he was gasping in air. He even suspected that his bones had been broken – otherwise, why would his breathing hurt?
He didn’t want to move now, each step was torture.
“They’ll go back and definitely tell everyone. Once they come to check, they’ll find us. We had a conflict with Bai Zhi today, and by then, they’ll definitely claim we ambushed them here. Do you think we’ll get out of this easily?”
Bai Yu’s face darkened. He hadn’t expected, after spending so long catching eagles, to end up caught by an eagle instead?
He had planned everything so carefully, to frighten Bai Zhi properly. Best case, scare her enough so she wouldn’t dare to leave the house for days, casting a shadow over her, just so he could ease his anger a bit.
Today Bai Zhi had caused him such embarrassment; how could he possibly let her off? Yet he hadn’t anticipated that Bai Fei would be there with her. And she was a madwoman, striking without holding back, even to the point of killing!
“That’s impossible, right?”
Bai Ye’s mouth twitched. Bai Zhi, who was always silent – how could she possibly…?
But the next moment, he wasn’t so sure anymore, because the recent Bai Zhi was truly capable of doing such things.
“But I… I can’t move…”
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to move; he really was in too much pain.
His whole body felt like it had fallen to pieces, each movement was agony he didn’t want to endure. This Bai Zhi… their feud had now truly begun, and he would definitely seek revenge.
“Hang in there, I’ll support you.”
Bai Yu, supporting Bai Ye, limped slowly toward the bamboo forest. There was only one path back to the village, and they absolutely could not take it. If they encountered anyone, they wouldn’t be able to explain themselves.
But if they couldn’t get back before daybreak…
Bai Ye’s frown deepened. It was all because of Bai Zhi, all her doing that had driven them to this point. He would remember this!
They couldn’t return, they could only head deeper into the bamboo forest. But with Bai Ye as a burden, they could only move slowly, dragging their feet with every step.
And with every step, more sweat beaded on Bai Ye’s forehead – not from exhaustion, but from pain…
Finally, Bai Yu stopped, and Bai Ye, as if liberated, immediately collapsed onto the ground, lying there, not wanting to move at all.
After all, Bai Zhi had learned the Anti-wolf Technique, so when she hit someone, she definitely didn’t hold back, using skillful force, the kind that even in daylight wouldn’t leave obvious wounds.
Bai Zhi and Bai Fei hadn’t gone far before Bai Dan and the others rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Bai Fei’s scream had indeed been earth-shattering.
Originally, Bai Dan and Bai Guang had been worried when they heard the kids say they were going to throw out the trash, so they decided to come look for them. Bai Fei’s piercing scream had only made them more anxious. So they quickened their pace and now, they had found them.
Seeing Bai Guang at that moment, Bai Fei, who was leaning on Bai Zhi, flew over to grab Bai Guang’s hand, as if she were reborn.
Her hands stopped shaking, and her legs were no longer weak.
“Daddy, let me tell you, I was so cool just now. I saved Bai Zhi blah blah blah…
You guys have no idea how critical the situation was, Bai Zhi suddenly fell down, and at that moment that thing appeared out of nowhere. I immediately took a stick and charged forward, and that’s how I saved Bai Zhi. I’m pretty awesome, right?”
Bai Fei blinked her eyes, looking at Bai Guang, waiting for Bai Guang’s praise.
Of course, Bai Guang wouldn’t disappoint his precious daughter, he immediately scooped her up and placed her on his shoulder, starting a string of continuous compliments.
“My darling girl is so amazing, my girl is a hero, how can she be so incredible?”
However, the smile in Bai Guang’s eyes didn’t reach the bottom of his eyes. Monsters were just a part of children’s tall tales.
“Xingxing, how did you suddenly fall down?”
Bai Dan also thought it was impossible, that Xingxing couldn’t have fallen down for no reason. She had walked this road countless times.
“Grandpa, I was tripped. At that time, I wanted to go faster, so my cousin wouldn’t worry. Suddenly, a rope tripped me.”
Bai Zhi was waiting for just this sentence. Now those two certainly wouldn’t dare to go home. There was only this one road home, and she was curious to see where they could go.
Once, the original owner had been tricked into going out to search for “Clover,” with the instruction not to return home if they couldn’t find it, resulting in staying outside all night. Today, well…
Bai Zhi looked up at the clouds, wondering if they would have good luck or not. She also wondered whether it would be very cold tonight?
Hearing this, Bai Guang was alarmed. There really was someone who intentionally placed a rope, so could people from the village trip and fall when throwing out the garbage at night, possibly catching a cold?
“Uncle, we have to check it out.”
Bai Guang’s gaze turned to Bai Dan, sure that they wouldn’t find a monster, but really, who could it be that wanted to scare the children?
Bai Dan had the same intention. They prepared to send the two little girls back first, but Bai Fei kept shaking her head, gripping Bai Guang’s hand tightly.
“Daddy, I want to go, I want to go. How can I miss out on something so exciting? I am very amazing, Daddy let me go.”
With Bai Guang there, Bai Fei naturally wasn’t afraid. She insisted on seeing for herself who was trying to prank them.
If she found out, hmm, it would be an endless vendetta.
Bai Zhi, though silent, tugged on Bai Dan’s hand, looking at him stubbornly.
“Alright, let’s all go. With me and your uncle here, there’s nothing to fear.”
Bai Dan took Bai Zhi’s hand but realized it was scraped. He was instantly filled with distress and, like Bai Guang, couldn’t wait to find out who was responsible.
When they arrived at the garbage dump, it was deserted except for a single rope on the ground. This rope was used for snapping lines in farming, to ensure straight holes while planting, as straight as a line.
Its presence here was a problem in itself, and seeing it, Bai Guang’s face darkened.
“Uncle, this was definitely done on purpose, but they have surely run away by now.”
Bai Guang, furious, slapped the ground hard. Their voices were not quiet, and Bai Ye and Bai Yu, hiding not far off in the bamboo forest, could only cover their mouths, not letting out a single sound.
