"You old thief, you dare to grab my shoulder?" Yang Chuxia’s face darkened, and making use of the hand on her shoulder, she jumped and kicked the man in the face.
After her outburst, Yang Chuxia soon had the three men under her feet. She took a few deep breaths, steadied herself, and decided that she would start exercising when she got home today, as she was too weak.
"Why did you try to kidnap me?"
"If you want to hit, hit. If you want to kill, kill. Why so much talk?"
"Good, since you asked me to hit you, I won’t hold back." As her words fell, Yang Chuxia’s fists started raining down on the man who had spoken first.
The man screamed in pain, and apparently, the commotion drew quite a crowd. Especially those who had lost daughters themselves stopped and glared at the men who were being beaten, wishing they could go up and kick them too.
However, those men were quite tough. No matter how hard Yang Chuxia hit or kicked them, they refused to speak or reveal their motives.
"Damn, they’re so stubborn. It’s exhausting dealing with them."
"Sister, what should we do now?" Seeing the men lying on the ground like dead dogs, Yang Qingrui asked.
Yang Chuxia turned to see Yang Qingrui’s eyes rolling and knew that the boy might have an idea.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Yang Qingrui pondered and said, "Sister, they just tried to kidnap you. They must have been hired by some fisherman looking for a sea girl. Since that’s the case, let’s just throw them into the sea. After all, the Sea God needs servants, right?"
"Wow!" Yang Chuxia looked at Yang Qingrui in surprise. The boy was smarter than she thought, even coming up with this idea.
However, when the onlookers heard Yang Qingrui’s words, they all laughed.
"Little girl, the Sea God only wants women, and the Lord Sacrificer won’t help you."
Ms. Wang, who was clutching Yang Qingtong and Yang Xiayun beside her, felt relieved to see the three men beaten to a pulp. However, as a country woman, she was inherently afraid of causing trouble, so she advised Yang Chuxia, "Xiaxia, let’s just let it go. They’ve already been beaten. Throwing them into the sea could end their lives, and there are so many people watching."
It turned out that Ms. Wang’s words reminded her that she couldn’t just throw them into the sea in front of everyone. It would be the same as killing them. She wasn’t familiar with the laws of this dynasty, but in modern times, killing would result in a sentence.
It would be a shame to let them go just like that, but going to the authorities would require going to the county and would be more trouble. Yang Chuxia thought for a moment and shouted to the onlookers, "Uncles, aunties, I don’t know why they tried to kidnap me, but I’ve managed to subdue them. I heard that during the Sea God Festival, some girls would go missing, and I suspect it’s related to these people. If any of you uncles or aunties has lost a niece, come and vent your anger. Just don’t beat them to death."
As Yang Chuxia’s words fell, numerous men and women surrounded the three, and soon screams began to emerge from the crowd.
"Hehe" Yang Chuxia chuckled mischievously and felt much better watching the three men being beaten.
She glanced at the sacrificial altar not far away. It seemed that the preparations were not yet complete, but she had lost interest in it.
