Chapter 20: Deterrence
However, the peasant family does not have so many rules. The original body can live like this because of her own reasons. Because there is no family to support her, she is inferior, weak and incompetent, and she cannot stand up. A man is transparent and unpopular at home. Isn't it just being bullied?
Now it's her turn. Due to her profession, she has always been ruthless and taciturn. If she doesn't obey, she will fight. In her eyes, there is no rule not to beat women, even if they are old women with vicissitudes of life. You must understand that bad people are not divided by gender.
After these days of recovery, her physical illness has been completely cured. With deliberate training, she is still confident in dealing with these people. Even if she can't beat them, she still has a backup plan.
Gulan looked at the people who blocked her way, especially the things they carried, and a glimmer of darkness flashed in the depths of her eyes. The fingers holding the wooden stick moved involuntarily.
Hearing Gulan's voice, the old woman, Aunt Liu, who was talking to Zhao Gang's wife, grinned with her big yellow teeth and said maliciously:
"It's nothing serious, I just think it's not easy for you to carry a child, it must be very hard to carry such a heavy basket, I want to help you share some of the burden."
While Aunt Liu was speaking, her eyes never left the willow basket on Gulan's back, her eyes were full of greed.
Although Gulan had expected the old woman's purpose, she was still amused by the old woman's shameless words. This is because they are more people, and she looks easy to bully with a child!
Looking at the old woman, Gulan smiled faintly,
"Thank you for your concern, but it's not necessary, I can still carry this little thing."
Unlike her thin body, her words were very firm.
"No, how can you not understand good and bad words, brother? I saw you were having a hard time raising a child, otherwise why would I be so kind to help you? You are so ungrateful, you know now there are not many people as kind as me."
The old woman was immediately unhappy, and she glared with her triangular eyes and sprayed. If Gulan hadn't dodged in time, the spit would have almost splashed on her body, which really made her feel sick.
Looking at the people blocking the way, "Haha..." Gulan laughed out loud, and she was obviously unhappy.
"So, I really have to thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it."
Gulan glanced at the person in front of her lightly, with a hint of sarcasm on her raised mouth, and she didn't hide her displeasure at all.
"I don't care whether you need it or not. I wanted to talk to you nicely when I saw you bringing a child, but you, the little brother, can't understand what I said. You are so ungrateful, the eldest and the second what are you waiting for, go ahead..."
Gulan's attitude completely angered the old woman, and she shouted at her sons in a rage. In fact, even if she didn't shout, the two sons behind her were ready to rush forward to grab it.
The main reason was that they really couldn't hold on to what they ate. Looking at a basket full of food, how could they not be jealous
Before the old woman finished speaking, the two had already rushed forward to snatch the willow basket from Gulan.
Seeing this, the old woman smiled smugly, but before she could fully let go of the smile, she was replaced by a scream. Amid her screams, her two sons were kicked out alive, groaning and not getting up for a long time. This was when Gulan had already held back.
Although the original body looked thin and weak, it was only an appearance. When she was sick, she was indeed vulnerable. But after recovering, Gulan found that the original body was not as weak as she thought.
Think about it, although she is a woman, she has done everything since she was a child, so she naturally has a lot of strength.
Moreover, Gulan also found that her original body was naturally stronger than ordinary people. In addition, she was naturally different in all aspects after she came here. She had been training hard these days, so she could easily deal with two skinny people.
This was when she only exerted a little strength. Otherwise, with the blessing of the treasure clothes, these two people would never see the sun the next day.
From Gulan's attack to the two people lying on the ground, it only happened in a moment. The little bun didn't have time to get scared before it was over.
The little guy opened his mouth and looked at the two people lying on the ground. While looking at his mother in shock, his eyes suddenly burst into full admiration, and his eyes were full of little stars. Dahei was even more direct. The new master had already taken action. His nature of protecting his master made him rush directly to the two people who were lying on the ground groaning. He opened his mouth as soon as he went up, and a faint smell of blood came with the screams.
Gulan raised her slightly heroic eyebrows, and a look of joy flashed in her eyes in surprise. This was the first time that Dahei had touched his mouth since he followed them. Of course, they had never encountered anyone who was looking for trouble before. Not bad, it was worth feeding it these days. Something's wrong, this big black dog is really going for it! Gulan expressed great satisfaction.
"Ah... go away... go away... mother..." The two people who lost control of their bodies due to the huge pain could only shout in panic, trying to get rid of the big black dog's mouth.
The screams instantly attracted the attention of the disaster victims who were looking for river clams in the river, but they only paid attention, and no one came forward. The life of fleeing along the way had exhausted their energy. This kind of snatching and even harming people for food happened almost every day, and they were no longer surprised. Not to mention taking the initiative to take on things, they would rather stay away from them when they saw it, so as not to get burned.
They didn't want to get into trouble for a stranger, but this incident made them realize that this young man was not easy to mess with. The look they looked at Gulan was obviously different, and their eyes were full of vigilance.
There was no time to watch the excitement. If they had this time, they might as well find more river clams and snails. They and their families were suffering from hunger.
The old woman here was also panicking. She wanted to go forward to save her two sons, but she was afraid of being attacked by Dahei. She was afraid and felt sorry for her sons, and she surrounded Dahei and screamed.
Fortunately, she was not too stupid. The old woman quickly turned to Gulan and knelt on the ground with a simple sound. She knew that she could only ask the young man in front of her at this time.
The sons must not be in trouble, otherwise their whole family would be in trouble. They all depended on them all the way.
The road to escape was difficult, and there were all kinds of people. In the current situation of lack of food and drink, if there were no strong men in the team, they would easily become the object of others' covetousness, and many of them fell directly on the road to escape.
"Good man, good man... We were wrong, we were wrong, good man, please spare my two sons, we didn't recognize the great man, I apologize to you, I'm really sorry..." As she spoke, the old woman kneeling on the ground kowtowed several times.
This surprised Gulan. The old woman looked mean and took advantage of others, but she was so calm and unpretentious. She admitted defeat without hesitation. The thumping of her head could be heard clearly on the muddy ground. Although it was for her son, she was obviously weak and afraid of hardship. If it weren't for the old woman, Gulan would have made an example of them. Many people were eager to make a move on them along the way, and their eyes were not friendly.
