Chapter 2: The Master Casts a Spell

I do not know how long it has been, but I woke up to find that the sky had darkened, and dusk had arrived—sunset light shone down from above the dilapidated temple, piercing my eyes. I struggled to stand up from the ground and discovered that several centipedes had died beside me. To my surprise, I was unharmed, and the boy with red eyes had vanished without a trace.

The overweight woman Yan turned around and shouted at the crowd: "Which dog wants to stick their neck out, come forward and let me see." The crowd fell silent, no longer daring to speak.

I ran home with my backpack, and before I reached home, I heard a noisy sound

The Zhe family has become prominent in the town, moving about with great authority, and the police, who could have arrived in ten minutes, took fifty minutes to get there

The master suppressed his anger: "What exactly do you want..."

I bit my lip, and it bled from biting it.

The woman with freckles raised her hand to strike, but it was caught by her master. "You cannot hit his face; if you do, you will die!" the master said

I asked, Master, what shall we do

Saying this, the master trembled all over

The conversation did not continue; Ma Yan left after throwing down a few harsh words

I know that the master does not speak falsehoods, but why does he say that if they slap my face, they will all die? This is quite strange

The master said with some helplessness: "Compensation, you tell me how much I should pay."

Dozens of people are gathered around, and the loudest voice is that of a woman: "My son's nose has been ruined."

The matter escalated late into the night, and it was not until several individuals from the local police station arrived that the issue was resolved, ultimately resulting in a compensation of 1,000 yuan, thus considering the problem settled

Money, it is again the money of your mother, and my heart is once more ablaze with anger

I ask why

The master is an outsider, with no farmland locally, and all the rice and grains are purchased. If centipedes cannot be sold for money, it would truly lead to a food shortage. A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake; this has been the case since ancient times

The overweight woman noticed the master's tone becoming gentler, thinking that the master had backed down. She chuckled and said, "Are you scared now? Your nose is broken, what do you plan to do about it?"

Ma Yan sincerely said: "Sir, it is our fault, we have wronged you. No matter how much it costs to buy my son's life, I can pay it."

I heard this voice, and a fire ignited in my heart, as I emerged from the crowd: "Fat woman, your whole family is a bunch of wildlings!"

I do not know whether this matter is related to the master

The woman, with broad shoulders and a round waist, along with long arms, did not wait for me to approach. With a swift motion, she grabbed me. Suddenly, she pushed me forcefully, causing me to stagger back several steps, unable to maintain my balance, and I fell to the ground

Upon hearing this name, the master could not help but tremble slightly, yet he still calmly said: "I do not know, I have not heard of it, I do not understand what you are saying. We cannot afford to provoke you, I hope you will leave."

The woman with freckles stepped forward and said: "I, Ma Yan, am not someone to be trifled with; I have grown up on human bones. Let's see if you can take me on!"

I asked, Master, who is that Xiao Qi?

Of course, they are poisonous; these venomous snakes can easily kill... Those people are equally venomous, just like poisonous women and venomous tongues. I said loudly

"Damn, it really looks like a centipede." The man wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but say this, but the step he took forward retreated back.

There were discussions among people, some spoke kindly, saying that the elderly person has had a hard life, relying on raising centipedes to earn money for medicine. Now that the centipedes have been burned to death, how will they continue to live? Even if one has money, one should not bully others like this

The master reached out and tapped my head, saying, "It is here, it is here, use wisdom to deal with them... they..."

Zhe Bingrui emerged from behind the tattooed man, pointing at his master and shouting: "Mom, he is a centipede"

Inside the jar, it seems that a gu worm is crawling.

A few tattooed men approached the freckled woman, chuckling as they said: "It was supposed to be a simple matter, outsider. You are just looking for trouble. If this issue cannot be resolved today, can you still stay here? If you get slapped, you might as well die. What a joke."

The woman smiled and said: "Our family does not lack money, but my son dislikes centipedes the most. If you burn your centipedes, I will consider it settled."

Fat woman Ma Yandao: "Son, just wait... They are all monsters in that family, and today I must take revenge for you."

The sound was crisp, and everyone present could hear it clearly.

After thinking for a while and gritting my teeth, it seems that I have understood something

The master shouted, if you have the ability, face me directly. What kind of ability is it for adults to bully children

Twenty minutes later, a fierce fire broke out in the middle of the yard, and all the centipedes that had been painstakingly nurtured were burned to death

Xiao Pass, Xiao Pass

The master let out a cold laugh and said, "Why not give it a try"

At this moment, the master said: "You of the Zhe family are impressive, but do not push people too hard. Xiao Guan's face is not something you can strike. In this world, no one can slap his face. If you do, you will all perish..."

The master looked at Ma Yan and said: "According to facial features, it is said that you will face financial ruin in middle age, and indeed it is true. However, what does your son's fate have to do with me? I am merely a bug keeper"

I wanted to rush over, but was stopped by my master: "Xiao Guan, remember this, the world is just like this, do you understand?"

Ma Yan expressed some disappointment, saying: "Old gentleman..."

The master asked, "Are you going to kill them?"

I gritted my teeth and charged directly at the woman, using all my strength, vowing to knock this overweight woman to the ground

The freckled woman was taken aback: "Crazy..." and immediately slapped Master across the face, "Smack," hitting Master on the face.

The master smiled and said, "Guan Guan, no one can bully us."

The master said, when you grow up, you will understand

This time I cannot respond, these matters seem simple to discuss, the master sometimes calls out a few words, and it appears that merely relying on the sound of his voice can easily handle them

The master continued, saying: "Humans do not possess the strength of elephants or tigers, nor do they have the venom of poisonous snakes, but they can tame them. It is not through brute force, but through intellect; it relies on wisdom. Do you remember this?"

The next day, I went to school as usual, but concealed within my pocket was a small knife. This short blade had been sharpened yesterday, and if Bing Rui were to find someone to ambush me, my knife would not be defenseless.

At night, when I go to sleep, my heart is always restless. I am filled with anger and cannot bear it, always feeling that the jar in the backyard is calling my name

When the master gets angry, it is quite terrifying

At noon, Zhe Bingrui suddenly collapsed on the ground without any warning, trembling all over. Within just two minutes, his face began to turn black, frightening his classmates greatly. Zhe Bingrui was carried away and sent to the hospital. He did not return for the entire day.

The master asked again, can the master handle these venomous snakes

A pair of venomous snakes slithered out

The master's smile sends a chill deep into one's heart

After a while, the master said again: "If that freckled woman really slaps you in front of so many people, within ten days, she will surely become a pile of rotten flesh... a full plate of poisonous insects..."

I nodded vigorously, gritting my teeth, with tears swirling in my eyes, yet they would not fall.

Master is of advanced age, and being slapped in the face in front of so many people is a humiliation that I can no longer tolerate

Zhe Bingrui saw me with an air of arrogance, as if he had won, and I could only endure it

Zhe Bingrui said angrily, "Mom, I still want to slap Xiao Guan again." The freckled woman announced again, "Burning the centipede doesn't count; I want to slap him once more."

The master is a man, bullied by a ragged woman; this grievance can only be swallowed along with broken teeth.

"Who are you calling a fat woman?" the fat woman shouted, her anger reaching a boiling point.

I shot a furious glare at Zhe Bingrui and shouted through clenched teeth: "Do you want me to slap you again, you coward! When children fight, you bring in the adults, what does that even count for?"

I shouted loudly, "Ah ah," but was stopped by my master

The master smiled, so you want to burn the centipede, very well, I will do it

I have pondered for a long time, yet I ultimately cannot come up with a reason.

As soon as they left, I took out a whetstone, filled a basin with clean water, and began to sharpen my knife. The humiliation of today has already been sown; I cannot sleep without seeking revenge. I must do something.

The master kicked over the clear water, lifted me up, and pulled me by the collar into the interior, walking all the way to the rack of venomous snakes. Pointing at them, he asked, "Do you think they are poisonous?"

"How much is your son's nose worth? I will compensate..." This was the voice of the master. A sharp-tongued, bitter woman sneered, "Let that illegitimate child come out!"

It is actually just a little nosebleed, still far from being shattered

The master's meaning is quite simple; to deal with Zhe Bingrui, brute force is not sufficient; one needs to use their intellect

I nodded vigorously and said, of course I can

The tattooed man approached the female dog, one on the left and one on the right, and grabbed the master's hand

The woman speaking has a barrel-shaped waist, a face full of freckles, a strong scent of Six God floral water, and is subtly plump. She is adorned with gold and silver, exuding an air of arrogance

Until the fifth day, which was a weekend, I was at home reviewing my studies. I saw the freckled woman, Ma Yan, come to my house, and she no longer had her previous arrogance.

As soon as Ma Yan left, I saw the master trembling all over, pacing back and forth, extremely angry

Ma Yan's face turned pale, as if she remembered something, and then she asked, "More than ten years ago, there was a feng shui master named Xiao Qi, do you know him?" ... "I was good friends with him..."

"Ice Edge, do you remember? This is the way of the world; the weak are beaten, and only the strong can survive." Ma Yan struck her master’s face with two slaps again

This is the second time today that I have seen such a smile on my master's face

Zhe Bingrui, relying on the support of his mother, did not feel afraid at all; he was arrogant and boastful, to say the least

Ma Yan, feeling delighted, suddenly changed her mood and said, "Go catch that kid." The two tattooed men released the master and turned to grab me. The master, who had originally been beaten, suddenly exerted his strength, lifting his weary single leg, and knocked down the two big men.

I do not deny my thoughts; I would love to kill them one by one

I shouted at the pig! I jumped up from the ground and immediately responded

The master dealt with the poisonous insect, and a chill wind rose around him. The tattooed man felt a sense of dread as he was scrutinized by the master

The overweight woman took a moment to process the situation before she exclaimed, "If I don't deal with you two oddballs today, then I am not Ma Yan. I may not have much, but I certainly have money. Isn't it just five hundred thousand to kill a person?" As she spoke, the gold bracelet on her wrist trembled. ... Behind her stood several tattooed men, twisting their necks, seemingly ready to take action ...

The master asked again, do you know why this is the case

If you encounter him, it will be death

I stared wide-eyed at Zhe Bingrui

The corner of the master's mouth bled

Once again, a strange smile
