Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The next morning, Mo Ruyue made up an excuse to go hunting in the mountains and left early.
Because of last night’s incident, Da Bao was worried that his younger brothers and sisters would be bullied again. He originally planned to stay at home but was urged by Mo Ruyue to return the tow truck. He had no choice but to tell Er Bao not to go out and to wait for him to come back before discussing anything.
As soon as the two of them left, the children who had come to cause trouble yesterday came again.
They used stones to smash Mo Ruyue’s door, but they felt that it wasn’t enough, so they rushed up and kicked it, breaking the door shaft that was already on the verge of collapse.
Tang Tang covered her ears and hid in the house. She bit her clothes tightly to stop herself from crying. Big brother had said yesterday that the more they cried, the more they would be bullied.
“Second brother, big brother said that if those bastards come again, we will beat them up! Let’s charge!”
San Bao clutched a fire Stick tightly in his hand. He gritted his teeth so hard that they made creaking sounds. It was just that there was a slip in his words that made him lose some of his imposing manner.
“Big brother is not at home. We still have Si Bao and Tang Tang with us. It’s fine if we get beaten up, but what if they get injured?”
Er Bao’s words made San Bao lower his head. He said gloomily, “Then we’re just going to watch them make a scene? Our door is going to break from the kicking. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a door finally fell down with a clang. It was completely broken.
“How boring. A few cowards who don’t dare to come out!”
The boy in the lead looked to be around ten years old. His clothes were clean, and he was not small. He was always fighting with chickens and dogs in the village and had caused many troubles.
There were also some children who liked to cause trouble around him. They especially liked to bully widow Qin’s children. Except for Da Bao, who they couldn’t defeat and couldn’t afford to offend, they could bully the others however they wanted.
“I went to the well to take a look just now. The branches, grass, and leaves have all been fished out. Should we throw in some more?”
One of his followers suggested.
“If we throw away any more rocks or dead rats, they won’t even think about drinking water from this well in the future.”
Another little follower chimed in.
These teenagers were at an age where gods and ghosts loathed them, and each of them was more vicious than the other when they came up with ideas.
“Good idea!”
The eyes of the child in the lead lit up. He didn’t believe that the widow and orphan would still be able to drink the water from the well if they fished up a dead rat.
“Let’s go, let’s go and kill the rats!”
As he spoke, he led the group of bear cubs away.
Er Bao could not hear what they said after that in the house. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that they had left. However, he was still a little worried that they would come back.
Very quickly, the group of bear cubs returned. This time, they seemed to be carrying something in their hands. They even deliberately lifted it up and waved it in the Qin family’s courtyard, their faces full of provocation.
Er Bao took a closer look and immediately revealed a panicked expression.
Those were dead rats, and not just one!
Could they be planning to…
Er Bao’s eyes widened. He could not sit still anymore. He immediately stood up and rushed out of the door.
A few of the disobedient children had already walked to the well, and the one in the lead threw the dead rat in his left hand into the well first. Just as the others were about to follow suit, a large net suddenly fell from the sky and caught all of them in one fell swoop.
“What’s going on? Where did the net come from?”
“Help! Let me out!”
The children were stunned for a moment before they shouted at the top of their lungs. Just as they were about to break free, another rope wrapped around them and tied them together, making them like grasshoppers on a rope.
When Er Bao rushed over, he happened to see this scene. He stopped in a daze and then saw Mo Ruyue walking out from behind a wall.
She was holding one end of the net and a rope. It was obvious that she was the one who cast the net and caught the bear cubs.
“Widow Qin, why don’t you let us out! You’re a widow. What’s the point of bullying a child!”
The child in the lead was the fiercest. He didn’t say that he had thrown the dead rat into someone else’s well. Instead, he accused Mo Ruyue of bullying a child.
“Shut up! Don’t think that I won’t beat you up just because you’re a child!”
Mo Ruyue coldly rebuked. His eyes were cold and completely different from his usual submissive attitude towards children.
“You, you dare! Come and beat me up!”
Although that child was scared by Mo Ruyue’s glare, he still mustered up his courage and retorted. After all, his “little brothers” were all watching, so he definitely couldn’t drop the ball at this time.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Ruyue quickly stepped forward and gave him a slap. The loud sound even had a trace of echo.
Mo Ruyue was not used to this at all. Since he was asking for a lesson, she would satisfy him.
The child was completely stunned by this slap. He looked at Mo Ruyue in a daze and only felt a burning sensation on his face. Then, it swelled and turned numb. Looking at it from the corner of her eye, his entire left cheek seemed to have swelled up.
“What are you looking at? Don’t you want your eyeballs?”
Mo Ruyue said coldly. She pulled the rope in her hand, and all the tied-up children stumbled and stumbled as they followed her.
“W-where are you taking us?!”
The child who had been beaten came back to his senses and started to shout again. However, this time, his voice was obviously much softer. His eyes were also wandering around, not daring to look Mo Ruyue in the eye.
“Where are you going? Find your parents to judge. Are you still not done, bullying people?”
As Mo Ruyue said this, she did not stop walking. She dragged the children and walked past Er Bao. She also said to him, “Er Bao, you stay here and watch the well. No one is allowed to fish out the things inside. Do you hear me?”
Er Bao was completely stunned. He only nodded subconsciously when he heard Mo Ruyue’s words. Before he could respond, Mo Ruyue had already dragged the group of people far away.
A woman who tied up many children with a net and a rope walking in the village immediately attracted many people’s attention. Some people recognized their own children and immediately rushed to save them.
“You from the Qin family, are you crazy? Are you trying to kill someone by tying up so many children?”
A woman had already touched her child. She was berating Mo Ruyue while tearing the net with both hands, trying to release her child.
“Mother, save me!”
“Mother, I’m scared!”
“Where’s my mother? Where is my mother?”
When the bear cubs saw their parents, it was as if they had suddenly found their backbone, and they immediately shouted for help.
The adults’ scolding and the children’s cries mixed together, causing the originally quiet village to suddenly become noisy.
“What’s all the noise? shut up!” Mo Ruyue had a headache from the noise and immediately scolded.
All the voices stopped in an instant. Almost everyone was stunned by her sudden sentence.
“Widow Qin, are you asking us to shut up? Look at what you’ve done to the children. How dare you ask us to shut up?”
The woman who was the first to rush to her child’s side came back to her senses and said what everyone was thinking.
“That’s right. A good child was tied up with a net and rope. She’s trying to harm people, right?”
“Her own five children aren’t enough, and now she wants to torture the children of other families. She’s really crazy!”
“All of you only see me ‘abusing’ your child. Did anyone ask why? You can’t see what they’re holding in their hands, can you?”
