Chapter 203 Challenge (8)
Chapter 203 Challenge (8)
Zhang was certain that Mo would not stop her, and Mo indeed did not. She was still hoping that Zhang's four sons would tame their unfilial daughter.
Because he was too fat, he bumped into Gu Shijiu's shoulder when he went out.
Gu Shijiu's shoulder twitched, and then a scream was heard. Zhang Shi suddenly curled up on the ground, clutching her shoulder and tailbone and howling.
I bumped my head on the threshold when I sat down.
Ms. Mo rushed to help him up, but she didn't quite understand that some injured people shouldn't be helped up after falling.
The outstretched hand touched some unknown spot, and Zhang screamed even more horribly.
Madam Mo was startled, and tears streamed down her face: "Fang, how could you hurt Sister Zhang like this?"
"I've done so much good and virtuous work all my life, how could I have given birth to a daughter like you? Heaven is so unfair..."
Perhaps because he was standing on the moral high ground, Mo's singing, recitation, acting and fighting seemed much more confident this time.
Gu Shijiu ignored her and directly grabbed Zhang Shi by the collar and lifted her up from the ground.
Even such a simple movement could cause a sharp pain, and Zhang felt that her coccyx was probably broken.
"You want to steal my things?" Gu Shijiu looked at the two of them expressionlessly.
She didn't consider those furs to be property; she thought they were just things Li Fang used to line her trunks with clothes, but she couldn't let anyone take them away.
Zhang was strangled by the collar and couldn't say a word, only making muffled sounds.
She frantically flailed her arms and legs in mid-air, which aggravated her wounds, and she cried until her face was covered in tears and snot.
Seeing that the other party acquiesced, Gu Shijiu nodded good-naturedly: "Then you can take it with you."
Both Madam Mo and Madam Zhang found it hard to believe.
If you're so easy to talk to, why did you make such a fuss before?
Zhang nodded tearfully, signaling Gu Shijiu to let her go.
"But you have to exchange it for something, your clothes and leather."
Gu Shijiu spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, casually throwing Zhang Shi to the ground, completely oblivious to the terror in the eyes of the two village women.
Mo asked tentatively, "Fang, Zhang's family doesn't hunt, so where did the fur come from?"
Zhang shook her head repeatedly, saying that even if she had the money, she wouldn't exchange it for anything.
She's here to eat and take for free, not to do business.
Gu Shijiu tugged at Zhang's cotton coat and quickly took it off: "She has her own, she doesn't need to hunt."
Only then did Zhang realize what Gu Shijiu meant; he was trying to skin her alive.
Is this even human? Petty theft is common in the countryside; who would be so cruel?
Looking into Gu Shijiu's dark pupils, Zhang felt that he might actually be capable of such a thing.
Now she regrets it; she shouldn't have let Mo instigate her to provoke this scoundrel.
Judging from Li Fang's appearance, she has clearly gone mad.
Even if her four sons come back to settle scores, what good will it do? She's already dead, she's definitely not going to survive.
Isn't it better to just live a good life?
Ms. Mo was also frightened, and she hurriedly ran outside, trying to find someone to help her.
If something really happens, the culprit is strong enough to walk away at any time, but she, as someone's mother, can't escape.
Mo cursed out the most vicious words she had ever used in her heart, but unfortunately Gu Shijiu couldn't read her mind and couldn't hear a word of it.
She even searched the house for tools to peel the skin.
The knife was a bit dull; it was barely enough to cut meat, let alone peel off the skin—a skill that required expertise.
Gu Shijiu vaguely remembered seeing it in some ancient drama script. She wished she had studied it.
She looked around and realized that Li Fang's family only had one knife, oh, and a pair of scissors.
Gu Shijiu gestured for a long time but still couldn't figure out where to start. When she looked up, she saw that Madam Mo was almost out of the courtyard.
She quickly kicked Zhang's fur-laden bundle away, which hit Mo in the back.
Mo was hit on the ground by the package and flew into the door. She was hit again and her head lolled to the side before she fainted.
After thinking it over, Gu Shijiu finally picked up the patched kitchen knife from the stove.
Taking this opportunity, Zhang suddenly stood up, ignoring the pain all over her body, and frantically pulled things out of her body.
Gu Shijiu stood silently, knife in hand, watching her. Some villagers, hearing the commotion, quietly gathered outside to watch the spectacle.
Nobody liked Zhang, who often came to the village to steal chickens and dogs.
But she always managed to slip away quickly and skillfully, and since the items stolen from the village weren't anything major, no one bothered to make a fuss.
Seeing Gu Shijiu punishing her like this, she felt somewhat pleased.
Heaven knows that Gu Shijiu wasn't trying to punish her at all; she really intended to do just that.
When Mo woke up from her unconsciousness, she saw so many onlookers around her house and felt that she had lost face again, so she simply lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.
Everyone's attention was focused on Zhang, who was constantly taking things out, and no one paid any attention to her.
After lying there for a while, Mo felt cold and had no choice but to slowly curl up to the side like a quail.
Zhang finally emptied everything out of her body, leaving Gu Shijiu in awe.
It's amazing that such a few pieces of clothing can hide so many things.
She was lost in thought, but Zhang thought Gu Shijiu was still keeping a straight face and not saying a word, which scared her so much that she almost took off her underwear.
It was the dead of winter, and I was shivering from the cold.
The villagers' eyes widened in disbelief. This was so indecent and immoral; what was the difference between it and running around naked outside?
Many people quietly covered their eyes. When Zhang saw that no one was speaking, she tried to back away, but was stopped.
It's over, God is going to kill her!
As Zhang was lamenting, Gu Shijiu reached out and ripped the earring off her ear.
His earlobe was torn open, leaving a large gash, and blood flowed down his cheek.
Gu Shijiu was still not satisfied and instructed Zhang Shi, "I didn't know there were villages nearby. I'll come to your house for dinner later."
And everything you took from my house before, you have to return.
Zhang's eyes flickered. Although this man was powerful, she didn't know if he could beat her four sons.
Unable to immediately determine the relative strengths of the enemy and themselves, Zhang did not dare to respond.
Seeing that there was nothing more to say, Gu Shijiu grabbed her arm, lifted her up, raised her above his head, and threw her out of the courtyard.
Perhaps due to misjudging the distance, Zhang bumped directly into Mo with a thud, and the two made intimate contact head-to-head.
Mo, who had just gotten up, was hit hard. Her head was buzzing, and she stumbled and fell to the ground again.
She didn't know what a concussion was, and then she felt dizzy and fainted again.
Zhang's old wounds hadn't healed before she was injured again. Perhaps because of the pain, she remained conscious. Seeing that Gu Shijiu wasn't chasing after her anymore, she clutched her tailbone and ran away in a flash.
Mo lay in bed until dark before waking up. When she woke up, she found no one around to help her, and her heart was filled with resentment.
It's mainly aimed at Gu Shijiu.
When that brat was normal, she had such a good reputation in the village. Now look what's happened, she's been unconscious for so long and no one has even taken care of her.
It's definitely all that brat's fault.
