Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

"Grandma, put me down, I can walk."

Xiao Dang stirred in her arms, her voice sweet and obedient. Jia Zhangshi put her down on the ground and took a couple of deep breaths.

Xiao Dang is only five years old, but my arms were sore from carrying him all the way.

"Come on, come with Grandma."

Jia Zhangshi took Xiao Dang's hand and walked towards the other end of the alley. After only a few steps, she heard a deep voice in her ear.

"Going? Where are you going? Aren't you going to say goodbye?"

The alley was quiet when the voice suddenly rang out behind her. Jia Zhangshi was so frightened that she trembled all over, and her taut nerves tightened instantly.

She turned around abruptly, pulled Xiaodang behind her, and stood in front of the child.

"Who?"

Lin Tian tilted his head and looked at Jia Zhangshi, a half-smile playing on his lips. "Jia Zhangshi, you really have a bad memory."

Once Jia Zhangshi saw clearly, her tense nerves relaxed instantly, and she began to hurl filthy curses:

"Lin family brat? You little rascal, are you even human? Don't you know that scaring someone can be deadly? You almost scared my old bones to death."

After cursing a couple of times and calming down a bit, Jia Zhangshi suddenly felt something was wrong. Why was this child here all by himself?

She glanced behind Lin Tian; the alley was empty, and there was no one else there. She frowned, and her tone became even more impolite.

"What are you doing here? Where are your parents? Tell them to come out. I want to have a word with them. What kind of children are they raising, acting like ghosts and scaring people in broad daylight..."

"Lin Tian, ​​what are you doing here?"

A soft voice came from behind Jia Zhangshi. Xiao Dang peeked half her head out from behind her grandmother's legs, her pigtails sticking up, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lin Tian.

Although the two were not familiar with each other and did not play together, there were only a few children in the yard, and she recognized him.

Lin Tian ignored Xiao Dang, his gaze fixed on Jia Zhangshi, and smiled mysteriously: "Jia Zhangshi, how do you know I'm not human?"

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Jia Zhangshi's pupils contracted sharply, and she instinctively gripped Xiao Dang's wrist, taking a step back.

A trembling hand rose up, the index finger pointing shakily at Lin Tian: "You...you...you..."

Lin Tian suddenly burst into laughter, clutching his stomach with both hands and squatting on the ground, laughing so hard he couldn't straighten up.

"Hahaha...that's hilarious! Look at you, your face's all white, hahaha..."

Madam Jia was bewildered by his sudden burst of laughter.

Standing a few steps away, his finger still pointing at him, his expression shifted from fear to confusion, and from confusion to anger.

Little Dang tugged at her grandmother's sleeve, looked up, and said seriously, "Grandma, he's playing a trick on you."

Jia Zhangshi's face suddenly turned extremely ugly, alternating between red and white, and the muscles at the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably twice.

She glared at Xiao Dang, embarrassed and angry: "You see through me but don't say it. If you keep acting like this, you'll easily lose your grandmother."

Xiao Dang: (⩌⤚⩌)

Jia Zhangshi turned to Lin Tian, ​​her anger instantly reaching its peak. She rolled up her sleeves and strode over:

"You brat, who gave you the right to talk to me like that? I'll teach you a lesson today!"

He raised his hand, about to slap Lin Tian on the back of the head, when he suddenly froze, only to see a fire poker appear out of thin air in Lin Tian's hand.

It was pitch black, big and thick.

Where did it come from?

Before Jia Zhangshi could even comprehend the terrifying implications behind this illogical phenomenon, the stick came crashing down on her head with a whoosh.

"oops!"

The first blow struck her shoulder, stinging painfully. She sprang up, letting out a bloodcurdling scream that echoed through the alley.

Unfortunately, all sound was blocked by the system and could not be transmitted.

Lin Tian is different now than last time; he now has full access to the healing system.

The fire pokers rained down on Jia Zhangshi, one on the left, one on the right, one on top, one on the bottom, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.

She ran around the alley with her head in her hands, trying to hide, but no matter which way she ran, the stick always landed precisely on her.

Back, buttocks, thighs, arms—every blow landed squarely, every single one hitting the flesh.

Xiao Dang stood to the side, her mouth agape, her eyes wide open, frozen in place like a small stone statue.

She wanted to shout "Don't hit my grandma!" but her mouth remained open and she didn't speak. The scene before her was beyond her comprehension.

"Ah!"

Lin Tian jumped up, gripped the fire poker with both hands, and slammed it down on Jia Zhangshi's thigh with all his might.

The stick made a whooshing sound as it fell, followed by a sharp crack as the stick broke, and so did the bone.

"Aaaaaah!!! My legs!!!"

Jia Zhangshi's body swayed slightly, then she collapsed to the ground with a thud, writhing in agony as she clutched her right leg.

The screams echoed through the alley, each one more agonizing and heart-wrenching than the last.

Jia Zhangshi's forehead was covered in cold sweat, her lips were white and purple, and the wrinkles on her face were all squeezed together due to the excruciating pain, causing her facial features to shift.

Lin Tian's expression suddenly turned cold; the child who had been laughing heartily just moments before was gone.

"Grandma!!! Don't scare Xiaodang, Grandma, boohoo..."

Xiao Dang rushed over, but her small body was knocked to the ground by Jia Zhangshi as she rolled around. She sat up and started crying.

"Waaah..."

Lin Tian casually tossed the remaining half of the stick in his hand, and the stick clattered to the ground.

"You old pig-dog, you've got some nerve! You really think you're something special?"

"You think you can hit me?"

"Don't you know who I am? How dare you act so presumptuously?"

Jia Zhangshi was in excruciating pain, her whole body convulsing, but her mouth still moved instinctively as she clutched her broken leg and howled in agony:

"This is outrageous! Old Jia... Dongxu... my dear grandson... open your eyes in heaven and take a look!"

The Jia family line has ended; even I, an old woman, had my leg broken by an eight-year-old child.

"I can't live like this anymore! Please come and take him away! You're all heartless! Waaah..."

The wailing echoed through the alley, while two policemen outside the alley entrance remained squatting on the ground, smoking and chatting, seemingly oblivious to the commotion.

Little Dang cried out, "Lin Tian, ​​why did you hurt my grandma? You're a bad person... You're a bad person... I want my mommy, I want my grandma, waaaaah..."

Lin Tian transformed the broken staff in his hand into an axe and looked down at her, saying, "Old hag, since you can't live, I'll help you out and send you to your son and grandson so you can be reunited as a family."

quiet!

Jia Zhangshi's crying stopped abruptly.

She lay on the ground, tilting her head back, looking into Lin Tian's calm, unwavering eyes, and at the blood-dripping axe in his hand.

What does that mean?

Since you can't live anymore, then I'll help you out.

Are we sending you to find your son, to find your beloved grandson?

A family reunion?!

Is it...

In an instant, countless images flashed through my mind. Could it be that he also killed the people who died in the courtyard?

The thought of this possibility sent chills down Jia Zhangshi's spine. Really... no way.
