After becoming a widow, I became the apple of a rough man's eye.

The female lead is delicate and stunningly beautiful, and all the male leads are virgins, with the female lead being the only one for him, both physically and mentally.

In the early stages, there was ambiguity and back-and-forth, but later, the girl became the sole focus of his affection

……

Boom—!

A pale bolt of lightning tore through the dark night sky of Qingshan Village, followed by a thunderclap that rolled overhead, shaking the very ground.

The rain poured down relentlessly, like a torrential downpour.

In Old Li's courtyard at the east end of the village, mud and water were flowing everywhere.

"Run? Let's see where you think you can run!"

Li Ergou wiped the rain off his face, a wicked glint in his triangular eyes. He stepped through the mud and forced Lin Qingqing into the corner.

Lin Qingqing was soaked through.

The faded floral polyester shirt clung tightly to her body, outlining her incredibly slender waist and the barely visible cleavage after being soaked by the rain.

She was terrified; her teeth were chattering. She gripped a broken fire poker tightly in her hand, the veins on the back of her hand bulging from the force, making her skin appear glaringly white.

"Ergou, I'm your sister-in-law..."

The sound was mixed in with the rain, thin and fragmented, sounding less like a warning and more like a cat meowing.

"Sister-in-law?" Li Ergou chuckled eerily, the sound particularly chilling in the stormy night. "My brother's been dead for a year now, what good is guarding that memorial tablet? Sister-in-law, look at your figure, which man in the village wouldn't be eyeing you? Why let the good stuff go to outsiders? Just give in to me today, and from now on, you'll be the boss in this house!"

As he spoke, he suddenly pounced on him.

A stench of staleness from years of neglect, mixed with the smell of mud, hit me.

Lin Qingqing felt a wave of nausea and instinctively raised the fire poker and waved it wildly.

With a "smack," the stick struck Li Ergou's arm, causing no pain or itch, but instead arousing his ferocity.

"You shameless slut!"

Li Ergou snatched the stick and threw it into the mud. His large, fan-like hand grabbed Lin Qingqing's neck and pressed her down onto the muddy ground covered in chicken droppings.

A feeling of suffocation surged up instantly.

Lin Qingqing kicked her legs desperately, scratching wildly with her fingernails at Li Ergou's pockmarked face.

"Ouch—!" Li Ergou winced in pain, and his grip loosened for a moment.

Lin Qingqing, with a sudden burst of strength, slammed her head against the door frame.

The sharp pain brought her to her senses somewhat; warm blood trickled down her forehead, blurring her left eye. Ignoring the pain, she took advantage of Li Ergou's momentary daze, pushed him aside, and scrambled into the rain.

"Damn it! You bitch, stop right there!"

Li Ergou's furious roar came from behind.

Lin Qingqing didn't dare to turn around at all.

She was barefoot, her soles were painfully cut by the gravel on the road, and there were bloody marks mixed with mud and water with every step.

The rain was so heavy that it stung my skin.

The entire Qingshan Village seemed to be dead, with only the occasional bark of a dog.

Where to go?

Where can we go?

Go back to your parents' home? There's no one there anymore.

Go to the village chief's house? That rich young lady Su Jiaojiao has always looked down on her; going there would only be humiliating.

Moreover, ordinary families wouldn't dare to mess with a scoundrel like Li Ergou.

Lin Qingqing wiped the rain and blood from her face, her vision searching through the blurry rainy night.

Suddenly, she saw a glimmer of light at the west end of the village.

That's the Qin family.

It is the most dangerous "wolf den" in the whole village.

The five brothers of the Qin family were all fiercer and more ruthless than the last. Especially the eldest brother, Qin Lie, who was said to have seen blood on his hands. Even the village's vicious dogs would tuck their tails between their legs and run away when they saw him.

Li Ergou was afraid of them.

The whole village was afraid of them.

Lin Qingqing bit her lower lip and tasted a metallic rust.

Rather than being violated by that beast Li Ergou, I'd rather venture into the wolf's den.

At least... I've heard that although the Qin brothers are fierce, they never bully women.

She dragged her heavy legs, stumbling along towards the west end of the village. The footsteps behind her grew closer, and Li Ergou's foul language drifted into her ears on the wind.

"Lin Qingqing! You slut! If I catch you, I'll kill you!"

Nearly.

The Qin family's tall gate was right in front of us.

It was a thick, black lacquered wooden door with two menacing bronze lion heads on the door knocker, gleaming coldly in the lightning.

Lin Qingqing rushed to the door and pounded on it with all her might.

"Open the door...please...open the door..."

My palms were red from clapping, and my voice was hoarse from shouting.

The footsteps behind me had reached the alley entrance.

Despair washed over her like a tide, just when Lin Qingqing thought she was doomed to die that night—

"Squeak—"

The heavy wooden door was pulled open from the inside.

A strong smell of blood, mixed with the heat of male hormones, instantly dispelled the surrounding cold rain.

Lin Qingqing looked up.

A tall, dark figure blocked the doorway. By the dim light of the kerosene lamp under the eaves, she could make out the man's face.

Qin Lie was shirtless, his bronze muscles piled up like blocks of iron. Rainwater slid down his broad shoulders, flowed over the hideous old scar on his chest, and finally disappeared into his black waistband.

He held a hunting knife that was still dripping blood in his hand, and on his left arm was a deep gash that exposed bone, the flesh rolled back, and blood was gushing out, dripping from his fingertips into the muddy water, spreading out in a glaring red.

Clearly, this man had just been through a fierce battle, and the murderous aura on his body had not yet dissipated.

Those narrow eyes, as black as an abyss, stared coldly at the woman at the door, who was soaking wet and in a sorry state.

"roll."

There is only one word.

His voice was deep and hoarse, carrying an undeniable coldness.

Lin Qingqing trembled, her legs went weak and she almost knelt down.

The man exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression, even more suffocating than the torrential rain and thunder.

"Brother Qin... Brother Qin..." she stammered, her voice trembling with tears, "Save me..."

Just then, Li Ergou caught up.

He slammed on the brakes when he was still more than ten meters away from the Qin family's gate.

Seeing Qin Lie's menacing appearance, Li Ergou's lustful courage instantly shrank by half. But when he glanced at Lin Qingqing's exquisite curves after she was wet, he couldn't bear to part with the fat meat at his mouth.

"Qin... Boss Qin, this is a family matter!" Li Ergou shouted, his eyes lewdly lingering on Lin Qingqing. "This woman is my sister-in-law. She's unfaithful and running around in the middle of the night. I'm doing this for the sake of the Li family's reputation. I'm going to drag her back and drown her in a pig cage!"

Qin Lie remained silent.

He merely narrowed his eyes slightly, twirling the blood-dripping hunting knife between his fingers, emitting a soft hum.

Li Ergou swallowed hard, his bravado masking his fear: "Boss Qin, let's keep to ourselves. Hand the man over to me, and I'll bring you two bottles of good wine another day..."

"It seems you can't understand human language."

Qin Lie took a step forward.

This one step scared Li Ergou so much that he took three steps back, slipped, and fell flat on his face.

"I'll count to three." Qin Lie's voice wasn't loud, but it pierced through the rain. "If you're not leaving, leave your legs behind."

"one."

Li Ergou scrambled out of the mud, glaring venomously at Lin Qingqing. "Fine! Lin Qingqing, you've got guts! You just wait! Let's see how long you can hide in this wolf's den!"

After saying that, he covered his head and ran away, quickly disappearing into the rainy night.
