Chapter 424: Terrible Loud Noise
Chapter 424: Terrible Loud Noise
Then Liu Yingying gnashed her teeth and said, "If I can't catch that woman, I'll castrate you and send you to the palace. You'll be a slave, neither male nor female, for the rest of your life."
The lawyer was not only afraid, but also filled with timidity. He had just turned sixty, he was still young, and a wonderful life was waiting for him. He was also planning to marry his eighteenth concubine next month, and he hoped to have many children, a big, fat boy to continue the family line.
"Ma'am, don't worry, I will definitely bring that criminal woman to justice." After saying this, the lawyer turned around and ran outside like a frightened bird. His steps were so flustered that he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
Half a month passed in a flash, and the bustling scene in Futian Village gradually subsided. All the sweet potatoes had been harvested, and every household kept the sweet potatoes for seeds.
Cuihua was sitting in a rocking chair in the yard, basking in the sun leisurely, but from time to time she glanced at Tian Guilan who was mixing pig grass.
Tian Guilan felt the scrutinizing gaze and her heart skipped a beat. She quickly stood up.
"Don't worry, my girl. I will take good care of the little piglet and raise it to be plump and white. It will never be greedy again."
Tian Guilan said this in a flattering manner. When she thought about the time when she ate Cuihua's little rabbit and Cuihua's ferocious look as if she wanted to eat someone, she felt like there was a rabbit in her heart, and her heart was in turmoil.
Cuihua glanced at Tian Guilan calmly and said, "You fattened up the pigs but didn't kill them for food. Are you keeping them as pets? What are you going to do?"
Hearing this, Tian Guilan finally relaxed her tense heartstrings. She had been carefully tending to the piglet over the past few days, not daring to slack off even a little.
The straw is changed every day to make a nest for the piglets, and the pig grass is also cut into fine pieces for fear that the piglets will choke. Windbreaks are also specially made for fear that the piglets will catch a cold. I almost sleep next to the piglets every day.
It seems that Cuihua only treats the piglet as an ordinary animal and does not cherish it as a treasure. My previous worries were a bit unnecessary.
Tian Guilan's heart had just settled, and before she could recover, she heard Cuihua's cold voice without warning, "The piglet weighed 45 kilograms when it arrived. I see you've taken good care of it. At this rate, it should grow at least 20 kilograms every month."
When Tian Guilan heard this, her legs went weak, her head started buzzing, and she almost stumbled and fell into the pigpen.
Gaining twenty pounds every month? How is that possible! Cuihua must be crazy! No, she is a lunatic to begin with! How could I be so unlucky to have to suffer the torture of this crazy girl?
"What if you don't grow to 20 kilograms?" Tian Guilan asked in a trembling voice, her face turning pale in an instant.
Cuihua held her chin with both hands, frowning slightly. After a moment of contemplation, she replied coldly, "If you don't gain an extra 20 pounds every month, I'll cut off your flesh to make up for the shortfall."
After saying that, Cuihua looked Tian Guilan up and down with a cold gaze: "Your body should be enough to replenish yourself. If not, don't you still have daddy? If daddy is not enough, you still have husband and uncles."
After hearing Cuihua's words, Tian Guilan felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. This was not just talking about pigs, this was clearly a threat to annihilate the entire family!
Before Tian Guilan could recover from this horrific "pork murder case", she heard a loud noise.
"Peng!"
She looked in horror in the direction of the sound
Zhang Tainan's home
"San Gouzi, what's wrong with you?" Grandma Zhang was basking in the sun in the yard when she suddenly heard a deafening noise coming from the kitchen. She was startled and hurriedly walked into the yard tremblingly with her crutches.
"Brother, are you okay?" Asu was chopping wood in the yard. When he heard the noise, he dropped the axe and hurried to check.
At this time, San Gouzi's face was pitch black, his hair stood up, like a scarecrow struck by lightning. He squatted in front of the stove in a daze, his head buzzing, his eyes empty and confused. He couldn't figure out what he had done.
Grandma Zhang walked to the stove and looked at her eldest son, who looked so miserable. She was so distressed that tears came out. She asked in a trembling voice, "San Gouzi, what happened to you?"
San Gouzi stood up unsteadily, his body still a little unstable. "Mom, Asu, I'm fine. I just put something into the stove and it suddenly exploded." He was still a little frightened when he spoke.
Several people looked at the stove that had been used for more than ten years. The originally sturdy stove now had several large cracks. San Gouzi's dark face looked like he had just crawled out of a coal mine, and his hair was spread out, messy like a bird's nest.
Grandma Zhang touched his face distressedly, then looked up at the clear sky outside and said, "You weren't struck by lightning, were you?"
The honest San Gouzi looked up at the sky, then touched his head, and muttered to himself, "I didn't do anything bad, why would God punish me?"
Ah Su knelt on the ground with a frown on his face, his eyes fixed on the pile of black powder on the ground. He reached out and touched it with curiosity, twisted his fingers, and said, "What is this? It looks weird."
San Gouzi also came over, looked at the black powder on the ground, and tried to recall it. "Today, when I went to the mountains to chop wood, I accidentally fell when passing by the Black Stone Forest. Some gravel from the Black Stone Mountain got on the firewood pile. I think it must have been picked up from that time. I didn't think much of it at the time and brought it back with me."
Ah Su put his finger to his nose and sniffed the black powder on it. A pungent smell instantly penetrated his nose, and he couldn't help sneezing. "Could it be this black powder? The smell is so strong, it doesn't seem normal."
"No way, it's just some stone powder from Black Stone Mountain." San Gouzi said nonchalantly, while bending down and picking up a handful of black powder in his hand.
Then, San Gouzi threw the black powder in his hand into the stove hole without thinking.
There was a deafening "bang" and a thick black smoke rose into the sky above Grandma Zhang's house.
Looking at the stove hole again, it was completely shattered under the huge impact force. The stove hole, which was originally intact, has now become unrecognizable.
Xiuying had just carefully placed the medicinal seedlings she had bought from the system into the warehouse. Before she had time to catch her breath, she heard this deafening noise.
She was startled, her expression instantly tense, and she ran out in a hurry. This voice was so familiar, but it shouldn't appear in this era!
