"Hiss..." Yang Ming, who was tending the fire, suddenly frowned and gasped. "This is really troublesome..." He then called out, "Big Black, Second Black..."

As Yang Ming spoke, two black dogs silently darted out of the yard, following Zheng Dongfang's footsteps and quietly chasing after him.

Zheng Dongfang walked quickly. He didn't know why, but he inexplicably believed Yang Ming's words. Could it be that Little Sweetie would appear on this road? That's probably impossible... no, it's definitely impossible.

"But why did I believe it back then???" Zheng Dongfang wondered to himself, and quickened his pace. He wanted to make a quick trip and then get back as soon as possible, so that he could at least properly plan how to rescue Xiaotiantian.

Suddenly, a stumbling figure appeared in front of him. It was already dark, and he couldn't see anything at all from twenty meters away. But Zheng Dongfang felt a sense of familiarity the moment he saw the figure.

"Dongfang...save me..." The figure in front of him made a hoarse, painful sound, but when Zheng Dongfang heard it, his body suddenly trembled. He was so familiar with the voice; wasn't it Xiaotiantian's, his sweet girl's voice?

Clearly, Little Sweetie recognized Zheng Dongfang.

"Sweetie??? Is it really you???" Zheng Dongfang quickly ran towards the little sweetie on the other side.

The lovers, separated for so long, finally reunited in this small mountain village.

"Dongfang, hurry up, go find Yang Ming, they're coming after us..." Little Sweetie rushed into Zheng Dongfang's arms and said anxiously.

The moment Sweetie threw herself into his arms, Zheng Dongfang was startled. The woman in his arms, once voluptuous and alluring, was now nothing but skin and bones. It was unimaginable how much suffering she had endured these past few days. This ignited a fire within him, his eyes bloodshot: "Sweetie, what happened to you??? Tell me, what has happened these past few days???"

"Dongfang, my dad is here with his men. We need to hurry and find Yang Ming. He's from here, so he should be able to hold them off..." Little Sweetie said anxiously.

"Tell me first, what exactly happened???" Zheng Dongfang was already furious and enraged. He just wanted to know the truth so he could take revenge.

"Dongfang, don't be silly. My dad brought seven relatives with him. You can't beat them..." Little Sweetie stomped her feet anxiously.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Zheng Dongfang's eyes were bloodshot, the whites of his eyes no longer visible. He was fixated on the truth of the matter.

"Dongfang, Dongfang, don't be foolish..." Little Sweetie also sensed the difference in Zheng Dongfang at this moment. Zheng Dongfang was really too scary at this time. From him, Little Sweetie felt a cold aura. If someone who had been on the battlefield, they would definitely exclaim in surprise, "Killing intent... naked killing intent..."

"Tell me, what exactly happened???" Zheng Dongfang, his beard and hair bristling, roared at Xiaotian.

This little sweetheart is so indecisive. What's wrong? Just tell him, right? Give him a quick, simple explanation to calm him down, then go directly to Yang Ming for help…

"This..." Little Sweetie was clearly frightened by Zheng Dongfang. She had never seen Zheng Dongfang so violent before. While shocked, she also felt a little sweet. He was like this all for her sake.

"They all deserve to die..." Seeing Little Sweetie's terrified state, Zheng Dongfang became even more agitated. Looking around, he picked up a brick from the roadside and roared as he rushed in the direction Little Sweetie had come from.

"Dongfang... Dongfang..." Little Sweetie became even more anxious and called out twice. Seeing that Zheng Dongfang ignored her completely, she stomped her foot and ran after him.

Whizzing……

Little Sweetie was running when two dark figures rushed past her, startling her. Upon closer inspection, she realized they were two large black dogs. Not knowing whether they were friends or foes, she became even more anxious and chased after them with all her might.

Zheng Dongfang had gone mad. The woman in his arms was no longer the voluptuous beauty she once was; she was skin and bones, so thin that a gust of wind could blow her away...

anger……

I admire the cruelty of Little Sweetie's father.

remorse……

Because of my own lack of resolve and distrust...

In short, if Zheng Dongfang were to see his "father-in-law," he would not hesitate to smash a brick over his head; a bloody head would be the least of his worries, even a splattered brains wouldn't be enough to vent his anger...

The cold wind howled past his ears, making them numb and tingling. But Zheng Dongfang, who had long forgotten everything around him and was only thinking about revenge, didn't feel anything. His stamina seemed to have no limits. He ran wildly without slowing down or becoming breathless.

After running for about a kilometer, he heard the sound of motorcycles, and there was more than one. The bright headlights were flashing, and the four lights were gradually illuminating the road ahead. Zheng Dongfang stared ahead, and in his bloodshot eyes, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure. That figure was his father-in-law, Xiaotian's father, Deng Qugong.

"You damn old bastard, I'll fuck your grandpa..." The motorcycle was going very fast, and in the blink of an eye it rushed up to Zheng Dongfang. Zheng Dongfang roared and swung his arm, slapping the brick in his hand at Deng Qugong who was rushing over.

"Ah..." The one riding the motorcycle was not Deng Qugong; Deng Qugong was sitting on the back seat. Zheng Dongfang's brick didn't hit Deng Qugong; instead, it hit the head of the person riding the motorcycle in front.

The brick knocked the motorcyclist off his bike, sending him flying a considerable distance, his fate unknown. Naturally, the two-wheeled motorcycle, now driverless, veered into the woods beside the road. Deng Qugong crashed into a tree, which happened to have a burl right in front of his chest. The impact broke seven or eight of his sternum bones, but thankfully, none pierced his internal organs; otherwise, he would have died instantly.

"Damn it...you little brat, you're asking for it..." The three motorcycles that had just passed by Zheng Dongfang noticed the situation and were both shocked and furious. They all stopped their motorcycles and started cursing as they went to settle scores with Zheng Dongfang.

"Fuck your grandpa..." Little did they know, Zheng Dongfang was even more arrogant than them. Seeing the six men rushing towards him, he charged straight at them, gripping the brick in his hand so tightly that he almost crushed it. His palms were also rubbed raw and bloody by the sharp edges of the brick.

That's why they say the tough are afraid of the stubborn, and the stubborn are afraid of the reckless.

Zheng Dongfang's crazed appearance immediately stunned the six men. They panicked and dodged Zheng Dongfang's attacks. For a time, the six men really couldn't do anything to Zheng Dongfang, and of course, Zheng Dongfang couldn't do anything to them either.

"I told you to dodge..." Zheng Dongfang roared, and the brick in his hand suddenly flew out, heading straight for a person's forehead. At this time, it was quite dark, and the person could not see the brick in flight at all, so the brick hit him directly on the head.

"Ah..." The person who was hit by the brick screamed and fell backward.

"He's out of bricks, beat him up, beat him to death..." One of the remaining five men roared and lunged at Zheng Dongfang.

The other four were not to be outdone and rushed towards Zheng Dongfang at the same time.

"I'll fucking kill you all..." Zheng Dongfang had long lost his mind and collided head-on with the first guy who rushed up.

"Awooo..." The first guy who charged forward was also the first one to fly out. Zheng Dongfang was like a mad bull, without feeling pain or fatigue. He knocked one person away and then charged towards another.

boom……

The impact was heavy and powerful. The guy who was hit by Zheng Dongfang felt as if his internal organs had shifted, and something was blocking his throat, making it hard for him to breathe.

boom……

Zheng Dongfang knocked the second person away, then went and knocked the third, the fourth, the fifth...

Eight people, very cleanly and efficiently, all fell to the ground. Three were seriously injured and their fates were unknown, while five were slightly injured, lying on the ground groaning and rolling around.

Looking at the people lying on the ground, Zheng Dongfang's murderous intent gradually dissipated, and the bloodshot in his eyes gradually faded. A chill instantly invaded his entire body, caused by exhaustion. This sudden burst of madness had completely drained Zheng Dongfang. If it weren't for his good physique, he would probably have to be rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment by now. Even so, Zheng Dongfang still collapsed. He fell heavily to the ground, hitting the back of his head and bleeding profusely.

"Eek..." After a short while, the five lightly injured men groaned and stood up one after another. Their injuries were not serious to begin with; they had only been bumped. No matter how much Zheng Dongfang exerted himself, he was still a human being, not an elephant or a bull. The force of the impact was not too great.

"I recognize him, this kid is that Zheng kid..." one of them stepped forward, glanced at Zheng Dongfang, and said through gritted teeth.

This person is Deng Qugong's younger brother, who is also Xiaotiantian's second uncle, Deng Qujing.

"If the guy surnamed Zheng is here, then my eldest sister must be here too. Dad, shall we take care of this kid?" A male voice, still carrying the distinctive flavor of puberty, rang out. This was Deng Qingtong, Deng Qujing's son and Xiaotian's cousin.

His voice still carried a hint of pain. After all, although she had regained her mobility, it didn't mean that the impact on him had no effect. On the contrary, he felt a tearing pain in his chest and lower abdomen.

"Uncle, let's kill him... This kid committed intentional murder; if we kill him, it's self-defense..."

"Yes, Uncle, let's kill him..."

"Uncle, if we let him go, I won't be able to swallow this insult..."

The other three young men also egged them on.

"Fine, we'll take care of him. Who's going to do it?" Deng Qujing was furious. Looking at these four idiots, he was really disappointed in them, but he didn't show it in his expression or tone.

"Uncle, go ahead and do it. We've never killed anyone before, we don't dare..."

"Uncle, you're a butcher, you go ahead and do it..."

"Uncle, you do it, we'll destroy the evidence..."

"Father, let's do it..."

Deng Qujing was furious. These four idiots were incredibly stupid. Did they think killing someone was like slaughtering a pig? Intentional murder is punishable by death.

What angered him even more was that his son was among them. He wanted to slap him hard across the face and yell, "Don't you know that murder is punishable by death?!"

"I've never killed anyone either. Why don't you guys do it..." Deng Qujing said irritably.

"I dare not..."

"I wouldn't dare..."

"Let Uncle do it..."

"Father, please don't be so polite..."

Hearing his son's words, Deng Qujing was so angry that his mouth twisted into a crook. "I'm being polite? What a load of rubbish! Am I being polite?"

"How about we beat him up? Just don't kill him..." Deng Qujing said directly, no longer wanting to waste time arguing with these four bastards.

"Listen to your uncle..."

"Whatever Uncle says goes..."

"If Uncle says to fight, then we fight..."

"Father, let's break his limbs and see if Sister still cares about him..."

"Alright... let's cripple him..." Deng Qujing glanced at his unconscious elder brother and two juniors beside him, and gritted his teeth. "Even if it goes to the authorities, we're in the right. This kid started it..."

So, the five of them finally decided to cripple Zheng Dongfang. They all had weapons on their motorcycles, so that if they encountered a robber while traveling, they wouldn't be helpless and at the mercy of others.

The five men each pulled an iron bar from their motorcycles, gripped it in their hands, and walked towards Zheng Dongfang. They were actually quite frustrated. When they saw that there was only one person, they rushed at him without any weapons, and ended up suffering a great loss. If they had had an iron bar, they wouldn't have been taken down by Zheng Dongfang.

However, when the five men carrying iron rods walked up to Zheng Dongfang, they all stopped in their tracks. It was dark and they couldn't tell that there were two large black dogs lying in front of Zheng Dongfang.

In the darkness, the five could clearly see the menacing glint in those two pairs of black eyes, which seemed to emanate from hell, sending chills down their spines.

"Dad, what should we do?" Deng Qingtong whispered.

"This..." Deng Qujing had no idea what to do. The two large dogs in front of him didn't look like trouble at all; how could he possibly know what to do?

"Uncle, the others are seriously injured. Should we take them to the hospital?"

"Uncle, we can't delay any longer. Uncle and the others haven't made a move. If something really happens, it'll be terrible..."

"Uncle, I'm going to take Uncle and the others to the hospital. You guys stay here and deal with this kid..."

The three young men from the same clan also began to have second thoughts.

"What are you doing??? Don't hurt him..." At this moment, Little Sweetie finally ran over and threw herself on Zheng Dongfang, "Dongfang, what's wrong??? Dongfang, wake up..."

Zheng Dongfang was completely exhausted and couldn't possibly wake up. His body was still stiff. Little Sweetie, supporting the back of Zheng Dongfang's head, only felt a dampness. She looked closer, but it was too dark to see clearly. She brought it to her nose and sniffed... the smell of blood...

"What did you do to him???" Little Sweetie was truly enraged this time, roaring at the five people, "I'm telling you, if anything happens to Dongfang, you're all the murderers! I'll put you all in jail, I'll have you all executed..."

"Dongfang, Dongfang, wake up..." Little Sweetie hugged Zheng Dongfang, shaking him while crying uncontrollably.

"..." The five women were utterly wronged: What did we do to him? What did he do to us? Even if you really can't live without him, you can't twist the truth, can you?

"We got beaten up??? And we're going to be executed???" Deng Qingtong muttered, but dared not say it out loud. None of the five dared to refute her.

Although they came out to take Xiaotian back, they genuinely trusted her. Xiaotian was a college student, and no one in the whole village had such a high level of education.

In a relatively ignorant small village, no one would usually refute what she said, even if she was wrong.

Suddenly, a bright light shone down, and a roaring sound rang out as a large truck sped out of the village.

Because the motorcycle was blocking the road, the car stopped before it could move forward. The door opened, and Yang Ming jumped off the car.

"Yang Ming, hurry up and look at Dongfang..." Little Sweetie, who was holding Zheng Dongfang and crying sadly, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw who got out of the car, and then cried out.

Just when she needed help the most, her strong support finally arrived. Little Sweetie felt a sudden sense of peace, and all her previous fear and anger disappeared.

"Alright, sweet sister-in-law, why are you crying? Hmm... you really should cry. If your dad isn't rescued soon, he'll basically be dead in half an hour. Tsk tsk, that collision broke seven or eight of his ribs..." Yang Ming said with a smile, walked over to Zheng Dongfang, and gently kicked him in the butt.

"I don't care if he lives or dies, Yang Ming, please save Dongfang and take him to the hospital..." Little Sweetie pleaded.

"No need, our third brother is just exhausted, it's nothing serious. I'll take him back to the village to recuperate, and he'll be fine..." Yang Ming said, lifting Zheng Dongfang up.

"Really??? Then the back of his head..." Little Sweetie wiped away her tears and stood up.

"That's when he fainted and bumped himself... Sister-in-law, I think what you should be concerned about now is those three people lying on the ground. They are the ones who really need to go to the hospital..." Yang Ming picked up Zheng Dongfang and put him in the back of the car.

"I don't care if they live or die..." Little Sweetie said angrily, then crawled into the carriage.

"Yeah! Right, they're in such a sorry state because of the third brother. You should be more concerned about whether he'll get into legal trouble..." Yang Ming said with a smile.

"They dare! If they dare to sue Dongfang, I'll sue them for kidnapping, imprisonment, and rape, and I'll have them all shot... Yang Ming, why aren't you driving yet??? What are you dawdling for???" Little Sweetie said angrily.

"Yes, yes, I'll drive right away..." Yang Ming said hurriedly.
