Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

"Pfft!"

The axe fell.

Enjoy the silky smoothness of the axe.

The white widow's screams stopped abruptly as her head rolled to the ground, tumbling twice before stopping right at Little Tiger's feet.

Those eyes were still open, gazing at the sky, at this world she hadn't yet had a chance to enjoy.

Do not look down.

Fresh blood gushed out, splattering all over the tiger cub and the leopard cub.

Xiao Hu froze, looking down at his mother's head, at that familiar face, his mind blank.

"Oh! Mom!!"

The leopard cub screamed in agony as it scrambled backward, its back pressed against the wall of the alley, trembling all over.

"Mom... Mom..."

Little Tiger muttered to himself, tears streaming down his face.

The mother who was alive and well just moments ago, who was telling them, "I'll take care of your grandchildren after you get married," is now lying alone on the ground.

Lin Tian shook the blood off his axe and stepped forward. Xiao Hu trembled and instinctively backed away.

But his legs were so weak they were like two noodles, and he couldn't stand up at all. He could only support himself with his hands and move backward little by little.

"Don't...don't come any closer..."

Lin Tian stopped in front of him, looking at the arrogant man who had just been shouting that he would "teach him a lesson," and a smile slowly crept onto his lips.

"Where did your arrogance go?"

Xiao Hu's lips trembled, and he couldn't speak.

"Are you being arrogant?"

Lin Tian leaned forward, his eyes almost touching, cold as a frozen lake in winter.

Xiao Hu broke down.

"Grandpa...Big Brother...Grandpa..."

"I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have cursed at you, I shouldn't have been so arrogant. Please let me go, please let me go..."

He lay on the ground, kowtowing desperately.

His forehead slammed against the muddy ground with a thud, and blood began to flow after a few blows.

"I have money, I'll give you all of it."

Xiao Hu suddenly remembered something, frantically rummaged through his pockets, and pulled out a few crumpled banknotes. "This is what I saved up. Here, take it all. Please, please let me go."

Lin Tian looked down at the few bills, dismissing them with disdain.

Little Leopard also realized what was happening, and scrambled over, pulling out the few cents from his pocket and offering them to the leopard with both hands:

"We'll give it to you, we'll give it to you! Grandpa, please let us go. We'll be your slaves, okay?"

Lin Tian looked at the two boys kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down their faces, and smiled sincerely.

"Work like oxen and horses? Just the two of you?"

Little Tiger nodded vigorously:

"Yes, yes, we can do anything—carry water, chop wood, do laundry, cook, go to work and earn money. Whatever you ask us to do, we'll do it."

Little Leopard nodded in agreement: "We're young, strong, and capable. Keeping us around will definitely be useful."

Lin Tian nodded.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Xiaohu's eyes.

"But……"

Lin Tian changed the subject, his smile widening: "I don't need cattle or horses."

Xiao Hu's smile froze on his face.

"What I need is..."

Lin Tian raised his axe:

"Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots."

Xiao Hu's pupils contracted sharply, and he sprang up from the ground, turned around, and ran away.

But he had only taken two steps.

A hand reached out from behind and grabbed the back of his collar.

A tremendous force pulled Xiaohu back, causing him to fall heavily to the ground.

Lin Tian placed one foot on his chest and looked down at him.

"Why are you running? I haven't had enough fun yet."

Xiao Hu lay on the ground, devastated.

"Please...please spare my life, I don't want to die...I haven't even gotten married yet..."

Lin Tian lifted his foot and released Xiao Hu.

Xiao Hu was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had been let off the hook.

But next second.

The axe fell.

"puff!"

Blood splattered.

Xiao Hu's left arm was severed cleanly at the shoulder and lay on the ground, his fingers still twitching.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Xiao Hu's screams echoed through the alley. He clutched his severed arm and rolled on the ground, his blood staining the ground red.

Lin Tian stood aside, watching quietly.

After Xiaohu rolled around a few times, he stepped forward and stomped on his chest again.

"Does it hurt?"

Xiao Hu was in so much pain that his whole body was convulsing. He couldn't speak, but he kept nodding.

"It's supposed to hurt."

Lin Tian smiled calmly, "There's something even more painful."

The axe fell again.

"puff!"

Little Tiger's head rolled to the ground.

Lin Tian turned around, and the little leopard had already run several meters away.

While Lin Tian was dealing with Xiao Hu, he quietly got up and ran desperately towards the alley entrance.

As long as I can reach the alley entrance, as long as I can get to those policemen, I can survive.

ten meters.

five meters.

three meters.

The alleyway entrance was right in front of us, and the figures of the policemen became clearer and clearer.

"Whoosh!"

A whooshing sound came from behind.

The little leopard felt a sudden pain in its right leg, lost its balance, and fell heavily to the ground.

He looked down.

My right leg is gone.

It broke off completely below the knee.

Blood gushed out, instantly staining his entire leg red.

"Aaaaaah!! My legs!!"

The little leopard's screams were even more heart-wrenching than its brother's. It lay on the ground, its hands supporting it as it desperately crawled forward.

If one leg is broken, use the other leg to push off and use your hands to crawl.

He doesn't want to die.

He wants to live.

A long trail of blood was left on the ground.

But he could only climb two meters before he could go no further due to excessive blood loss.

Damn!

Climb up, you clumsy thing, use your strength!

The little leopard was in despair.

Lin Tian walked over unhurriedly, squatted down beside him, and said disdainfully, "You ran pretty fast, huh? You really are an ingrate, abandoning your mother and brother like that and running away alone."

The little leopard raised its head and said in fear, "No, no, I'm not, I'm not an ingrate, I just want to live. They're all dead, it's normal for me to run away."

If my mother and brother were still alive, they would definitely tell me to run, to run first; they just haven't said it yet.

I just said what they were going to say in advance. I'm not ungrateful; I just anticipated what they would say.

"You're a real genius."

Lin Tian was astonished by his extraordinary talent.

What kind of bizarre line of thinking is this?

Upon hearing this, the little leopard was overjoyed, failing to discern the underlying meaning in Lin Tian's words. Believing he could live, he happily replied:

"Brother, brother, I'll treat you to a meal... I'll take you to a state-run restaurant for braised pork... Please, have mercy on me..."

Lin Tian was stunned.

Invite him to dinner?

He looked down at the man who was so frightened he was incoherent, and suddenly laughed.

"Want to treat me to dinner?"

The little leopard nodded vigorously:

"Yes, yes, yes! State-run restaurant! Braised pork! All you can eat!"

Lin Tian nodded:

"it is good."

A glimmer of hope flashed in the little leopard's eyes.

"pity--"

Lin Tian reached out, and a kitchen knife appeared in his hand.

"I don't eat braised pork."

The cleaver fell.

"puff!"

The leopard cub fell to the ground.

White Widow, Little Tiger, Little Leopard.

The whole family, all together.

Lin Tian picked up the axe, turned around, and walked into the shadows.

Several police officers who heard the commotion finally arrived.

When they saw the bloody scene deep in the alley, their faces turned pale.

"Quickly...report to Captain Qin and get them back. Another murder has occurred here..."
