The action inside was too intense, and they hadn't noticed someone's arrival.
Zhang Xiaoshan peered through the gaps between the cornstalks.
It really was Luo Meili and Wu Yong.
Luo Meili was only wearing a thin strap nightdress, with one slipper fallen off, leaving just one on her foot. Wu Yong was tightly embracing Luo Meili from behind, trying to take off her nightgown. Although Luo Meili was desperately resisting, her thin clothing was still pulled down halfway, exposing her.
"Hehehe, the more you struggle, the more excited I get, Auntie Meili, just give in. You've been a widow for six or seven years, how difficult it must be. Let me take good care of you tonight."
Luo Meili was close to tears.
"Wu Yong, have some shame, will you? I'm your auntie. How could you force yourself on me? If this gets out, how will I live?"
Wu Yong's face was smeared with a sleazy smile.
"Auntie, don't be afraid, only heaven, earth, you and I know about this, there won't be a third person who will know, I promise, this is our secret."
"You know me, every time I see you, I drool with desire. Just let me have you."
"Shameless."
Luo Meili bit down hard on Wu Yong's hand.
"Ouch."
Wu Yong immediately cried out in pain and let go of Luo Meili.
Luo Meili quickly clutched her chest, retreating repeatedly.
"Damn it, you filthy bitch, you dared to bite me!" Wu Yong, seeing the imprint on his own hand, was furious.
He pulled out a switchblade from his pocket.
The sharp blade, under the moonlight, gleamed coldly.
"I warn you, cooperate, or else I'll stab you dead."
"Also, don't you have a younger sister studying in the county? I'll have people round her up tomorrow."
"No, don't touch my sister," Luo Meili was on the brink of tears.
"Hehe, then just behave."
Wu Yong approached Luo Meili.
Luo Meili cried out in despair.
"Wuwuwu, someone save me."
Wu Yong, with a face full of excitement, was about to pounce on Luo Meili, when suddenly a small stone flew from one side, hitting Wu Yong on the forehead and instantly drawing blood.
"Ouch, my head, who, who the hell hit me?"
"Me."
Zhang Xiaoshan stepped forward.
Zhang Xiaoshan was still covered in dirt, and it was night, so it took Wu Yong several seconds to recognize him. He was immediately relieved.
"Damn, it's just you, this poor ghost. This is none of your business, scram, or I'll beat you too."
"Little Shan, save me."
The moment Luo Meili saw Zhang Xiaoshan, she immediately ran behind him and grabbed his arm.
"Auntie, don't worry, with me here, I won't let him touch you," Zhang Xiaoshan said, soothing Luo Meili.
"Ptui."
Wu Yong said disdainfully.
"Have you forgotten how you couldn't even fight back the last time I beat you? You think you're up to challenge me, huh, heh?"
"If you dare meddle in my business, you believe I won't go back and have my sister demand three hundred thousand from you?"
Zhang Xiaoshan's expression was cold.
"Wu Yong, when I cared about your sister, she was priceless to me. But now, to me, your sister is worthless, not to mention three hundred thousand, I wouldn't give a dime. I'm not getting married either, and besides, you'll have to refund me that fifty thousand," he said, having decided to cut ties with Wu Xiaoru's family.
Hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's words, Wu Yong's face turned even darker.
"Damn it, so you're dead set on sticking your nose in, huh? Fine, let's stop wasting words, I'll make it quick for you."
Wu Yong's switchblade thrust straight at Zhang Xiaoshan.
Known as a ruffian in the village, Wu Yong, who had only completed junior high and had been loafing around the county streets since, had some skills. His knife thrust was very quick.
```
But.
In Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes, Wu Yong's speed had slowed down countless times.
What was clearly a continuous thrusting motion was now broken down, analyzed second by second.
Zhang Xiaoshan was astonished, but Wu Yong's spring knife was already thrusting towards him. Without time to think, he instinctively pushed it away based on what he had seen; Wu Yong's spring knife grazed past Zhang Xiaoshan's body, missing its target.
Immediately after, Zhang Xiaoshan's mind was flooded with countless combat moves.
Following the moves in his head, he grabbed Wu Yong's wrist that held the knife and twisted fiercely. With a "crack," Wu Yong's wrist made a crisp sound, followed by Zhang Xiaoshan's other hand grabbing Wu Yong's left shoulder and delivering an elbow strike, his knee directly hitting Wu Yong's stomach.
"Bang, bang, bang."
Seven or eight consecutive strikes made Wu Yong vomit out his dinner from the night before.
In the end, Zhang Xiaoshan turned his body and executed a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw, tossing Wu Yong onto the ground.
"Ouch, my hand, my stomach."
Wu Yong lay on the ground, wailing in pain.
The sequence of moves Zhang Xiaoshan had executed left Wu Yong seriously injured.
Standing nearby, Luo Meili was stunned. She had been worried that Zhang Xiaoshan's slight frame couldn't handle the bulky Wu Yong, but now it seemed she had worried over nothing.
Zhang Xiaoshan, watching Wu Yong scream on the ground, was himself in complete astonishment.
The sequence of moves he had just performed was entirely unconscious, almost like a reflex.
"How could this happen?"
By this time, Wu Yong on the ground had caught his breath.
"Zhang Xiaoshan, you, you dare to hit me?"
"You, it seems you really don't want to marry my sister. Just wait, I will definitely tell her about this."
"Suit yourself."
At this point, Zhang Xiaoshan felt utterly hopeless about Wu Xiaoru and didn't take Wu Yong's threats to heart.
"Auntie, how are you doing?"
Zhang Xiaoshan inquired about Luo Meili's condition.
Luo Meili, still shaken, said,
"I was scared to death. I thought I was done for today. Thanks to you, I'm, I'm okay."
Zhang Xiaoshan looked down at Wu Yong, then turned to Luo Meili and asked,
"So, should we call the police, accuse him of rape and abduction?"
"Call the police?"
Wu Yong on the ground started to panic.
"Zhang Xiaoshan, you're too ruthless. If we can't become relatives, let's just let bygones be bygones. There's no need to become enemies. Besides, Luo Meili is the Wu family's woman, what business is it of yours? If anyone should interfere, it would be the village chief, not you."
At this point, Luo Meili also said, her face flushed,
"Forget it, if this gets out, it will be mortifying. I can't afford to lose that kind of face. You've already beaten Wu Yong severely; he got his punishment. Let's just leave this matter be for now."
Zhang Xiaoshan thought about it and agreed. After all, White Dragon Village was a rural area, and gossip was the favorite pastime of the local women. Spreading this matter would indeed reflect poorly on Luo Meili.
"Hmph, consider yourself lucky. I'll let you go this time, but if there's a next time, I definitely won't let you off so easily."
"No, there won't be a next time, I promise. I just lost control for a moment, got too impulsive. I swear it won't happen again, please don't call the police."
"Hmph."
Luo Meili snorted coldly, then followed Zhang Xiaoshan out of the cornfield.
"Damn it, Zhang Xiaoshan, you just wait. If I don't teach you a lesson, I might as well be raised by you." After they left, Wu Yong immediately showed his true colors, cursing Zhang Xiaoshan viciously while plotting his revenge.
As they emerged from the cornfield, Zhang Xiaoshan was about to say to Luo Meili,
"Auntie, it's late, you should head home."
But as he turned around, he saw Luo Meili's nightgown strap had snapped, revealing much of her fair skin, and he involuntarily swallowed, his eyes fixed.
Luo Meili noticed Zhang Xiaoshan's gaze and her face turned red.
However, she wasn't angry, nor did she stop him, instead, she said with a teasing smile,
"Little Shan, you saved your aunt. How about I repay you with my body?"
