Chapter Nine, A Joyful Revenge
"Tomorrow, I will search for Gu Qing's corpse. I cannot allow him to have peace; I will crush his bones and scatter his ashes, leaving him without a complete body, ensuring that he cannot even be reborn!" Ding Erlang gritted his teeth and said
Dropping the latch in his hand, Gu Qing exhaled a breath of turbid air from his chest, suddenly feeling a sense of clarity, as if his thoughts had become unimpeded, and he felt a profound sense of enlightenment.
Gu Qing entered and only said this one sentence, then began to look around, pacing back and forth around the courtyard, his eyes constantly scanning as if he were searching for something
Although this is a remote and barren mountain village, taking a life still requires paying the price. Song Gensheng does not wish to see Gu Qing sentenced to death by the authorities because of this.
The more pain he feels, the deeper his hatred for Gu Qing becomes. As a long-standing and powerful contender for the position of village bully, he has inexplicably been pushed down by an honest and straightforward young man, and they have been hurt so severely. This is going to turn the world upside down
Gu Qing still did not speak. After searching the yard, her eyes suddenly brightened as she found a wooden bolt for the door in the corner of the wall. It was square and slightly thicker than an adult's arm, feeling quite heavy in her hand
After those people entered the village, I did not allow them to have any contact with our family, nor did I receive any news from them. How could I know the outcome?" Ding Dalang said irritably, feeling a sharp pain in the soles of his feet, his eyes wide open, gasping in shock.
"You, why..." Ding Dalang stammered, the former demeanor of the village bully completely gone.
"What did you just say?" Gu Qing asked Song Gensheng.
After his elder brother was knocked unconscious in a decisive manner, Ding Erlang was nearly driven to madness. As he watched Gu Qing approach him step by step, Ding Erlang felt a tremor throughout his body, and a sense of dampness emerged in his trousers.
Song Gensheng sighed with a furrowed brow, his gaze inadvertently falling on the foreheads of the Ding brothers. He frowned, then turned to glance again at the wound on Gu Qing's forehead from the previous day, and a bitter smile appeared on his face
Before the words were finished, Gu Qing had already raised the door bolt high in his hand and struck it fiercely towards Ding Dalang's forehead
Upon entering the door, Gu Qing immediately saw the Ding brothers lying in the middle of the courtyard, symmetrically positioned on the left and right.
Sitting idly at home for an entire day, the Ding brothers were unable to receive any good news regarding Gu Qing's execution. However, seeing Gu Qing's house ablaze at this moment, they could barely muster a sense of satisfaction from their revenge.
Song Gensheng stood at the gate of the courtyard, pale-faced and at a loss, making an effort to squeeze out a polite smile towards the Ding brothers, attempting to salvage the currently uncontrollable situation, using his smile to convey to the Ding brothers that they were not ill-intentioned visitors, but rather came to pay a visit.
Ding Erlang was so frightened that he collapsed onto the bamboo board. He wanted to run, but his foot was injured, rendering him completely unable to move, and he could only watch helplessly as Gu Qing approached.
Ding Erlang's reaction was somewhat unusual; upon seeing Gu Qingchong rush in, he instinctively shrank his neck, revealing a look of fear.
Song Gensheng opened his mouth, only to find that he could not utter a single word; he was frightened by Gu Qing's ruthless methods
If it is a coincidence, it is indeed too coincidental; if it is intentional, then Gu Qing's vengeful nature is truly... utterly insane
As he spoke, Gu Qing dragged the door bolt towards Ding Erlang
Gu Qingchao smiled and said, "Let's talk later; I have some matters to attend to first"
"You, you you..." Ding Dalang pointed at Gu Qing, filled with both anger and surprise
Before the words were finished, Gu Qing raised the bolt in his hand again, and with a bang, it struck Ding Erlang's forehead, causing Ding Erlang to faint.
Song Gensheng suddenly felt his hands and feet turn cold, staring blankly at Ding Dalang, whose forehead was gushing blood, and then glanced at Gu Qing's emotionless face
The two brothers were greatly astonished, as the voice was so familiar; the person who had arrived was none other than Gu Qing, whom they had cursed countless times.
After weighing the door bolt in his hand, Gu Qing waved it a few times in the air, seemingly searching for the right feel. Once he was satisfied, Gu Qing dragged the door bolt and approached the Ding brothers step by step
Hand over the property certificate
Gu Qing, we brothers admit our mistakes, we were wrong. I swear to you that I will never provoke you again. I beg... I beg you to let it go...
Ding Erlang's gaze remained fixed on Gu Qing, and Gu Qing's silence only intensified his fear, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.
Ding Dalang's appearance was even more pitiful; not only were his feet injured, but his arm had also been broken by Gu Qing
Whether it is a coincidence or intentional, the spot on the foreheads of the Ding brothers that was struck by the door latch happens to be exactly where Gu Qing had bumped his forehead against a stone after tripping two days ago
Gu Qing's eyes narrowed, and then she said with satisfaction: "It is truly wonderful for a family to be together in harmony"
Song Gensheng hurriedly said: "Murder is against the law"
"Gu Qing, please wait a moment, Mo Tai..." Song Gensheng urged anxiously
The injury on the sole of the foot still aches faintly. The wound is a penetrating one, and the sharp wooden branches set up in the pit dug by Gu Qing were too malicious. The two brothers fell into the pit and were immediately ensnared, with the wooden branches piercing through the soles of their feet in an instant. After being sent back home, they had a doctor come to examine them.
The behavior can be understood, after all, he has endured more beatings than his elder brother, and the psychological trauma he carries must be significantly greater than that of his brother
Ding Erlang endured the pain and said: "If Gu Qing were at home, it would be wonderful. If he were burned to death, our great revenge would be avenged. Tomorrow, we will say that Gu Qing accidentally set the house on fire while making a fire, and others will not be able to say anything against us."
"It can kill people!" Ding Dalang warned in a stern voice, his eyes filled with fear.
Gu Qing pondered for a moment and said, "If killing is not a crime, I could add a bit more. — Is killing a crime here?"
Just as Ding Dalang was about to say something, a loud bang came from the front door, followed by a voice filled with excitement and hidden joy.
The doctor was indeed Song Gensheng's father, Song Gen, a rather honest man, but his medical skills were not very reliable. He brewed a pot of unknown herbal medicine to apply to the wounds and fed them a bowl of dark, murky medicinal soup. After a day had passed, the pain of the Ding brothers had not lessened in the slightest; instead, it grew increasingly worse. A faint odor of decay could be detected from the bandaged wounds, suggesting that they might be festering.
The Ding brothers were lying in the middle of their yard, like two frogs about to drown, straining their necks to look in the direction of Gu Qing's house that was on fire
The silent enemy is the most terrifying. Ding Dalang could no longer hold back, propping himself up halfway and hoarsely shouting at Gu Qing: "Gu Qing, killing is just a matter of hitting the ground; do not go too far!"
The child now has many questions
Ding Dalang turned his head to glance at the direction of the Gu family, which was illuminated by the red glow in the sky, and then looked at Gu Qing.
Ding Dalang coldly snorted: "What does it matter what others say? As long as we are in this village, my brothers and I can act without any restrictions."
Gu Qing seemed to click his tongue in slight regret: "So they are not dead. Don't worry, I was measured in my actions; they probably have moderate concussions..." After a pause, Gu Qing began to explain: "The human skull is very hard and usually does not easily break under external force, unless struck violently with a blunt object. Just now, when I swung that latch, the force was moderate; it wouldn't be fatal, but of course, it wouldn't feel good either..." Gu Qing began to explain: "The human skull is very hard and usually does not easily break under external force, unless struck violently with a blunt object. Just now, when I swung that latch, the force was moderate; it wouldn't be fatal, but of course, it wouldn't feel good either..."
Song Gensheng timidly stepped forward and stammered, "Are they... dead?"
The Ding brothers were completely flustered, what does this guy want to do
Song Gensheng's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively reached out to grab Gu Qing's arm
Thus, the two secretly gathered the criminal gang from the neighboring village, planning to deal a lethal blow to Gu Qing
With a muffled bang, Ding Dalang fainted without uttering a word, not even having time to let out a scream
"Elder brother, do you think Gu Qing might just happen to be in the house and then be burned to death in the fire?" Ding Erlang lay on the bamboo board in the middle of the courtyard, his face a bit pale, a result of excessive blood loss from yesterday.
