Chapter 866: Chapter 868: You Deserved That Beating
"..." Xiaoxiao was speechless for a while, are you sure you’re not an idiot?
Why Yang Ming hit him was obvious, yet he still bumped into the muzzle of the gun. If not him, then who?
Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him, "Serves you right to get hit."
Upon hearing Xiaoxiao’s "serves you right to get hit," the man started whining again, "Beauty, with such a handsome face like mine, how could you be so heartless?"
The man’s constant calling of "beauty" was simply provoking Yang Ming. Sure enough, the infuriated Yang Ming swung his fist once more, but this time, luck was not on his side. The man caught Yang Ming’s fist with one hand, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he said through gritted teeth, "Ouch, one punch is enough. This handsome face of mine can’t take a second one."
Yang Ming used all his strength, only to find that the other man’s strength was equally strong. A flash of surprise appeared in Yang Ming’s eyes—what’s going on with this person? Clearly, he could fight, but when facing the villagers, he got caught so quickly, obviously throwing the fight. Who is this person? And what’s his motive?
As the two were giving no ground, the Village Chief roared, "Pull these two apart, if you want to fight, do it back in the yard."
Seeing the Village Chief angry, Xiaoxiao quickly spoke up, "Husband, stop fighting, let’s go back to Little Shitou’s house first."
Having just barely been rescued from the stake, it would be best not to anger the villagers to death again. They should just behave and sort everything out once back at Little Shitou’s house with the doors closed.
Upon hearing his wife’s voice, Yang Ming had no choice but to release his grip, glaring at the man.
The man gave Yang Ming a provocative look, with a disdainful smile on his lips, then turned to Xiaoxiao, dropping the fierce look and speaking cheekily, "Beauty, you still care about me."
"I care about your sister."
"Beauty, how did you know I have a sister? Seems like you know quite a bit about me."
"Shut up." Xiaoxiao was so angry she was gnashing her teeth. She glared at him fiercely and then stopped talking; they had to get back quickly. She didn’t want any more trouble, facing these barbarians’ attacks had genuinely scared her.
"Beauty..."
That man wanted to continue talking to Xiaoxiao but was cut off by Yang Ming’s furious yell, "I told you to shut up."
The man really didn’t say another word, but subsequently, the two men’s gazes clashed in the air, both puffing out cheeks and glaring at each other.
Xiaoxiao noticed all this, a smile playing at her lips; Yang Ming was getting jealous, it was the first time she’d seen him with such an expression. Let those two continue their glaring contest, as long as they kept quiet and didn’t provoke the villagers again.
A moment later, they finally arrived at Little Shitou’s courtyard. After entering, the Village Chief said, "You all just honestly stay in this yard, don’t think about running away, there are eyes on you all over the village. Just wait obediently for the people from Medicine King Valley to return."
Xiaoxiao placated with a smile, "Village Chief, don’t worry, we’re just waiting here for the people from Medicine King Valley to return. Besides, you’ve sent the carriage away, even if we wanted to leave, we couldn’t."
The Village Chief agreed and left with the villagers.
And so, this funeral pyre farce came to an end, and Xiaoxiao and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, only their own people were left in the small courtyard, except for that stranger.
