For the likes of Jin Wang, this so-called village bully who bullies the weak and fears the strong, Ye Qiu has seen many, and he couldn't be bothered with them. He lifted a foot and swiftly kicked Jin Wang, sending him flying a dozen ters away, rolling down the slope.
"Please, don't hit , I'm a woman, you can't hit won." Ge Chunhua also knelt down, looking at Ye Qiu with a crying face, her previous arrogance had long disappeared.
"You know you're a woman?" Ye Qiu sneered. Although he wasn't present when the incident happened, by observing the surroundings, he understood what was going on, and he had no good feeling towards won like Ge Chunhua.
"A woman who doesn't know to behave herself and goes out bullying old people, thinking your man is the village bully so no one will dare to deal with you? A vicious woman like you, hitting you would just sully my hands, hurry up and get lost!"
Ye Qiu didn't want to continue arguing with Ge Chunhua, and shouted sternly at her, scaring her so much that she rolled and crawled away, stumbling over a stone and eating a mouthful of mud.
"Young man..." Old Liu finally regained his senses, walked up to Ye Qiu, and was about to kneel down.
Ye Qiu quickly helped Old Liu up, and said calmly, "Old man, you can just speak standing."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you both young n..."
Old Liu was deeply grateful, clutching Ye Qiu's arm tight, "If it weren't for your tily help today, my two cows would've been slaughtered by those beasts. If I lost the cows, how would I survive?"
At this mont, Zhao Chunxue suddenly spoke up, "Old man, if you're grateful, just arrange a place for us to stay. This Celestial God Ye might have to stay here for so ti."
Ye Qiu didn't expect Zhao Chunxue to be so direct, but he did not stop her.
Zhao Chunxue was right, Ye Qiu indeed needed to stay for a few days.
"Alright, alright, no problem." Old Liu nodded excitedly, "You two benefactors, you are my benefactors, my great benefactors, as long as you don't mind my place, you can stay as long as you want."
...
After walking for over ten minutes, Ye Qiu and Zhao Chunxue finally arrived at Old Liu's ho.
The environnt at Old Liu's place wasn't good. A single old man, the courtyard walls looked so worn, and the only passable things in the house were the two cows.
Looking at the conditions of the house, Old Liu smiled wryly and said, "This is my ho. If you don't want to stay, I'll think of a way to find you a better place."
"It's okay, we're just handling a few days." Ye Qiu said softly, not wanting to trouble the old man.
After chatting with Old Liu for a bit, Old Liu went off to busy himself with cooking.
Zhao Chunxue quickly closed the door and asked Ye Qiu in a low voice, "How did it go when you absorbed the potion below the dam?"
"It's sowhat effective." Ye Qiu chuckled, "There's a breach below the dam with high water pressure, I managed to absorb a portion of the potion there.
But the potion's power is too strong, it's sowhat unbearable. Just when you called , I ca out."
Ye Qiu seed in a good mood.
Previously at the breach below the dam, he not only absorbed the potion but also temporarily suppressed the power of the Golden Potion within him by leveraging the strong water pressure, which slowed down the dissipation of power considerably.
Just prior to his fight with Fell, Ye Qiu got severely injured, and even now, many internal injuries haven't recovered, making it difficult for him to return to the dam anyti soon.
Bam!
Just as Ye Qiu finished speaking, suddenly, there was a loud noise from outside, Old Liu originally holding a bucket of water, but the handle broke, causing the bucket to fall to the ground, spilling the water on several green onions nearby.
"Old man, are you okay?" Zhao Chunxue hurriedly asked.
"No issues, it's just the bucket handle broke." Old Liu replied.
"It's a sign of big trouble, and you say there's no problem!" Zhao Chunxue frowned.
"What big trouble?" Ye Qiu asked.
"It's an on." Zhao Chunxue thought for a mont, "Just now, the old man's bucket handle broke, the bucket fell, and the water rushed straight into the nearby small vegetable garden, over several green onions.
All this happened when you were talking about the breach at the dam. If unexpected, a heavy rain will co tonight, with a torrential downpour that the dam might not withstand, eventually causing a flood, the village might be subrged."
Ye Qiu smiled without saying much, thinking Zhao Chunxue's prediction this ti was off.
It sounded too far-fetched.
Just a handle breaking on Old Liu's bucket, how would that be linked to issues at the dam?
Moreover, outside, it's still clear skies, bright sunshine.
How could there suddenly be torrential rain?
Ye Qiu couldn't be bothered to pay any more attention to Zhao Chunxu, walked into a corner, seated himself on the ground, started recovering from his injuries.
Even skipped lunch, continued till late afternoon.
By evening, Old Liu's voice called out, "Young man, you haven't eaten all day, co over and eat sothing now."
"Okay." Ye Qiu responded.
Just as he was about to go out, he imdiately heard a woman's cry from outside.
"Sothing's happened, sothing's happened! Everyone co quickly to help, a pack of wolves appeared on the hill by the riverbank, my son is herding sheep there..."
"What should I do, what should I do!"
Outside Old Liu's house, a middle-aged woman held a phone worth re tens, collapsed there, cried and wailed despairingly.
Ye Qiu and Zhao Chunxue followed Old Liu and ran out.
Almost simultaneously, neighbors around also rushed out, surrounding the middle-aged woman.
Old Liu ran over, helped the middle-aged woman up, concernedly asked, "Cuiying, what's going on, what did you say about wolves coming? What exactly happened?"
"Sothing's happened, really happened!" Cuiying clutched Old Liu and cried urgently, "Just now my son called , saying he's about to finish herding and co ho, but as soon as he said it, I heard wolves howling.
Then I heard the sheep's screams, my son said there's a pack of wolves, then... then I couldn't hear his voice anymore!"
"What should I do, what should I do!" Cuiying was desperate, could only plead with her gaze towards the surrounding people.
"Damn, it's indeed wolves, this is really troubleso."
"Really don't get it, why suddenly a pack of wolves cos here, days ago my cow got eaten."
"I've seen that pack of wolves, estimated there are ten or so, quite big, Cuiying's son is really in danger now."
"I've seen them too, too scary, one wolf bit a cow to death, our village's hunting rifles were all handed over, how do we deal with the wolf pack now, what should we do?"
Confirming the wolf pack really appeared, the villagers all panicked, wanting to help but having no ans.
"I'll go check, get so wolf at to eat."
While everyone was anxious, Ye Qiu casually left a sentence, turned towards the hill, could hardly bear that the dish Old Liu made lacked at.
Almost simultaneously, not far in a corner.
Jin Wang, observing everything secretly, couldn't help but reveal a chilling smile.
