Erlang followed Zheng Dayou into the alley, and felt something was not quite right. "This alley is so messy, she wouldn't come this way, would she?"
Zheng Dayou urged, "We've already come in, let's go forward and see. That dead girl never uses her brain, maybe she really came this way."
Erlang had no choice but to continue inside.
He thought Zheng Cuier would definitely not be here, but after not walking far, he saw Zheng Cuier waving at them ahead.
Erlang subconsciously quickened his pace and went forward. "You're really here, let's go quickly. If the city gate closes, we won't be able to get out."
Zheng Cuier said mysteriously, "Erlang, Father, I'll take you somewhere. There's good stuff."
Erlang was not very interested. "It's almost dark, let's go back quickly. We're unfamiliar with this place, don't cause trouble."
Zheng Dayou pushed him forward, "Since we're here, let's go see what it is first."
Erlang was still a child, and with his guidance, he became a little tempted, so he followed them forward.
Zheng Cuier led the way, and soon, the three of them turned into a courtyard.
Erlang looked around and asked curiously, "Where's the good stuff?"
Zheng Cuier's palms were sweating nervously. She turned around and took out the water flask she had prepared. "Erlang, you've run for so long, you must be tired. Drink some water to catch your breath."
Erlang waved his hand. "I'm not thirsty. Where is the stuff? Let's go back after we see it. If the city gate is locked, we'll have to sleep on the streets tonight."
Zheng Cuier was a little anxious and exchanged a look with Zheng Dayou, asking him what to do.
Zheng Dayou told her not to rush, then pointed to a room and asked, "Is the stuff in that room?"
Zheng Cuier nodded quickly. "Yes, yes, it's in that room."
Erlang impatiently walked towards the room, muttering to himself. Why did he feel that Zheng Dayou and his daughter were acting strangely?
When he entered the room, there was nothing there at all. Erlang was a little unhappy. "Where is the stuff?"
As he was about to turn back, his neck suddenly hurt, and he fell forward.
Zheng Cuier was startled and quickly caught Erlang. "Father, will he be alright?"
Zheng Dayou threw down the stick, reached out to check his breathing, and confirmed he was fine before saying, "Bring that water over and force him to drink it."
Zheng Cuier was a little surprised. "He's already fainted, and you still want him to drink this?"
Zheng Dayou sneered, "If the raw rice is not cooked into cooked rice, it will likely remain raw rice forever, and there will be variables."
When Zheng Cuier heard this, she quickly handed over the water flask.
Zheng Dayou took it, opened the mouth of the flask, and poured water into Erlang's mouth.
The father and daughter carried Erlang to the bed. Zheng Dayou was about to tear Erlang's clothes.
Zheng Cuier quickly said, "Father, you go out. I... I'll do it."
Zheng Dayou chuckled. "Alright, I'll go out and keep watch."
Thinking of the large carriage they would soon possess, Zheng Dayou was so excited he wanted to jump up.
However, as soon as he stepped out, he saw Jiang Wan standing in the courtyard.
He was startled. "What are you doing here?"
Jiang Wan sneered, "Guess."
Zheng Dayou quickly turned back and closed the door. "Wanwan, why are you still out so late? Come, Uncle will send you back."
No matter what, he couldn't let this girl ruin their family's good deed.
So he quickly stepped forward to push Jiang Wan away, but when he pushed, he found he couldn't move her.
"Why are you eating so much and getting so fat, girl? Don't just stand there, let's go. It will be dark soon, and your parents will be anxious if they can't find you."
Jiang Wan looked up at him. "Where's my second brother? If we're leaving, we have to call him. If he doesn't go back, my parents will still be anxious."
Zheng Dayou's eyes darted around. "Your second brother isn't here. Come, I'll take you to find your second brother first."
Jiang Wan didn't bother to talk nonsense with him and was about to barge into the room.
Zheng Dayou quickly grabbed her. "I told you, your second brother isn't in there, why are you still going in? Come, I'll take you to find him."
Jiang Wan kicked him to the ground. "Get lost! No one can stop your little grandma!"
Zheng Dayou felt like his leg was about to break. He wanted to stop her, but it was too late. Jiang Wan had already kicked the door open.
When Jiang Wan saw the situation in the room, she felt like killing someone.
Jiang Wan, furious, darted forward, jumped onto the bed, and kicked Zheng Cuier off the bed. "You shameless thing, how dare you ruin my second brother's purity!"
Zheng Dayou followed in and saw his daughter in a state of disarray. He quickly turned away.
Jiang Wan sneered, "Oh, you still know about propriety and shame? I thought your whole family could conspire to do such shameless things, so you probably don't care about these things."
Zheng Cuier hugged herself, filled with shame and anger. "Wanwan, I just like your second brother, I didn't mean anything else. Wanwan, can you let me put on my clothes first?"
It was too cold in the middle of winter.
Just then, Erlang on the bed suddenly stirred. "Hot, so hot."
Jiang Wan looked back and saw that Erlang's face was flushed, and he was constantly tearing at his clothes.
These symptoms...
Although Jiang Wan was not old in her previous life, it didn't mean she didn't understand anything. Knowing that Erlang had been drugged, she became furious.
She thought they had just knocked Erlang out when she saw him lying motionless, but she didn't expect them to dare to drug him!
He was less than fifteen years old!
These beastly father and daughter!
Jiang Wan knocked Erlang unconscious with a palm strike, a cold smile on her lips. "Good, very good, you father and daughter wait for me!"
Zheng Cuier's heart turned cold. Jiang Wan looked so terrifying, more frightening than when she killed bandits and wolves!
Stared at by Jiang Wan's innocent eyes, she felt a fear emanating from the bottom of her heart.
"Wanwan, I... I..."
Jiang Wan didn't give her a chance to explain. She bent down, picked up the water flask thrown on the ground, shook it, there was still water inside, and then walked towards Zheng Cuier.
Zheng Cuier sensed what Jiang Wan was about to do, quickly covered her mouth, and retreated.
Seeing Jiang Wan like this, Zheng Dayou's eyes turned cold, and he became ruthless.
Since there were no outsiders here, why not kill this little fool! This way, their plan could be realized, and the Jiang family would have one less mouth to feed!
So Zheng Dayou grabbed the stick he had used to knock out Erlang and lunged at Jiang Wan.
"Little fool, die!"
Zheng Dayou struck at Jiang Wan's crown, but Jiang Wan swayed and dodged the stick, then quickly kicked him. Zheng Dayou felt a powerful blow to his abdomen, and then he was uncontrollably sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the courtyard.
"Father!"
Zheng Cuier screamed when she saw Zheng Dayou spitting out two mouthfuls of blood and falling in the courtyard.
Jiang Wan stepped forward and kicked Zheng Cuier's knee, causing Zheng Cuier to kneel on the ground with a thud. As she cried out in pain, Jiang Wan stuffed the mouth of the water flask into her mouth.
Zheng Cuier tried to push the mouth of the water flask out with her tongue, but Jiang Wan pinched her jaw, forcing her mouth open, and the remaining water in the flask was poured into her mouth.
