Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Killing You, Monster Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Killing You, Monster Bai Zhi and the others walked on the quiet path, a breeze blowing through, causing the bamboo forest to rustle…
Bai Fei felt a chilly sensation on her back, she wasn’t used to being outside so late, and she couldn’t help but look at Bai Zhi.
“Bai Zhi, aren’t you scared?”
It was terrifying, and, coupling that with the stories of the thatch girl their grandparents told…
She shivered involuntarily…
“No, I’m not scared. I’m used to it. I have too many chores during the day, so I can only take the trash out at night. With so many people in our village, I’m not afraid.”
Bai Zhi said it lightly, as if accustod to it.
How plain, yet how heart-rendingly typical were those words?
Was the original owner truly not scared?
How could she be? That ti, the first ti she ca by herself. She ran as fast as she could, stumbling along the way, fearing she might encounter sothing dreadful.
After dumping the trash, she ran as hard as she could, ultimately tripping and falling hard, biting her chin tightly, not daring to cry. They say crying might attract wolves that eat children.
Fear and fatigue overwheld her, yet the original owner didn’t have ti to panic, just kept running as if sothing was chasing her.
After what seed like ages, she saw the dim light from the village. To her, it was like seeing the most dazzling light; they say those creatures are most afraid of light…
She finally made it ho, but everything was pitch dark. Everyone was already resting; no one cared where she had gone or what she had done…
At that mont, her heart felt very cold, very cold.
Scared once, scared twice, after the third ti she got used to it. No one knew how she could run so fast. No one cared why she had such strength, because no one cared about her.
Bai Fei understood the points Bai Zhi was making even though she spoke calmly; her eyes were particularly sore, and she looked at Bai Zhi with heartfelt sympathy.
“From now on, I’ll be here for you. I’ll always be by your side.”
Bai Zhi was too pitiful, oh…, she must protect her.
…
Bai Zhi’s lips twitched; in reality, she didn’t need it. Being alone was good enough, and besides, cousin, it’s not certain who would protect whom.
“Hmm.”
Still, Bai Zhi responded lightly, indifferent, though Bai Fei might not have noticed the perfunctory tone.
They walked quickly out of habit, the upside being that Bai Zhi could see far ahead. Like now, not far away, there was a rope. If they ran quickly towards it, they’d surely trip. It was unclear whether the rope’s ends were tied to people or rocks.
Her gaze shifted to the sides of the bamboo forest. On one side was a large rock, very tall, a place where people rested, because it also led to the back mountain; when they carried heavy loads downhill, they would stop here to rest. That was the origin of this rock.
On the other side, there was the bamboo forest and a bush where soone was squatting. It had to be Bai Ye, because Bai Yu only plotted from behind, and whenever sothing happened, Bai Ye was the one who showed up, and, naturally, got duped.
Although he was quite unlucky, in the original owner’s view, he deserved no sympathy. Even if Bai Yu concocted the plans, it was Bai Ye who acted.
So, at that mont.
“Cousin, give it to , I can run fast. I’ll run over, throw it away, and then we’ll head ho together. Hold this stick well, protect .”
Bai Zhi’s eyes moved to the wooden stick in Bai Fei’s hands.
For Bai Fei, this was Bai Zhi’s recognition and trust towards her, and she nodded vigorously.
Bai Zhi’s lips slightly curved, the original owner was originally strong, and with the force of sprinting, who knows if that person can be pulled out?
Well, just give it a try. For now, she quite enjoyed unmasking vests, especially those of Bai Ye and Bai Yu, the hypocrites.
So, she grabbed a dustpan, with a flash in her eyes, her whole deanor transford, as Bai Fei would later say.
That was the mont when Bai Zhi shone like her whole body was glowing, willing to give everything for her older sister, so she snatched the dustpan and charged out like an arrow.
Hidden in the dark, Bai Ye had not expected Bai Zhi to use such great force. She managed to trip over the rope and fiercely yanked it without knowing what had happened. He suddenly felt his body losing control and tumbled out.
“Ah!”
The piercing scream of Bai Fei echoed through the night sky.
Bai Zhi’s dustpan, due to inertia, had already flown into the landfill, and she fell to the ground injured. Yet within monts, she grabbed a stick from the ground and started hitting the dark shadow with it, using all her strength with each strike, finally throwing the stick away.
She grit her teeth, continuously punching and kicking like a madwoman.
“Cousin, co help, let’s kill this monster!”
Defining it as a monster, Bai Zhi didn’t believe Bai Ye could later shift the bla onto her.
After a brief mont of fear, courage soon overca terror, and Bai Fei also grabbed a stick and charged out.
“I’ll kill you, I’ll make you regret bullying my sister, I’m going all out!”
Although Bai Fei said so, she was actually hitting blindfolded, unlike Bai Zhi who targeted the body precisely with skillful hits that were especially painful, but it didn’t visibly show.
Of course, avoid hitting the face. On such a dark, windy night, there were plenty of opportunities to create one if none presented itself.
Seeing that it was about enough, Bai Zhi pulled Bai Fei and they ran. They ran a long distance before stopping; imdiately Bai Fei started swinging the stick in the air.
“Cousin, cousin, don’t do this.”
Bai Zhi touched her aching temples. Had she gone a bit too far in provoking the little girl?
It was then that Bai Fei cald down and took a look around. They were no longer at the landfill.
“Bai Zhi, Bai Zhi, wasn’t I amazing? I saved you.”
She quickly grabbed Bai Zhi’s hand, her smile broad and proud in her eyes. She really was amazing to have beaten the monster.
“Yes, thank you, cousin. But let’s hurry back and tell Grandpa and the others. Otherwise, they’ll worry?”
Bai Zhi led Bai Fei, why? Because Bai Fei’s legs were now weak, although she claid she was formidable, she was actually frightened inside.
If it weren’t for her sudden burst of strength just now, it would have been dangerous for the two young girls.
“Yes, you’re right. Let’s go…”
Bai Fei nodded vigorously, fully agreeing and feeling very proud inwardly.
anwhile, Bai Ye at the landfill couldn’t stand up due to the beating, feeling pain all over his body, intense and burning. Moving even slightly felt as though his entire body was being torn apart. He couldn’t move…
“How are you, let’s rush.”
Bai Yu ca from around the corner and quickly helped Bai Ye up, unaware that by doing so, he was inflicting torture.
