Chapter 19 - The Power of the Bench

At this time, there was no electricity, and the villagers were reluctant to light up. Once the sky darkened, the small village became quiet.

  Only Qin Feng's house was still emitting squeaking sounds.

  Tang Dongdong used the bean-sized tung oil lamp to focus on spinning.

  On the small bed, Little Er was sleeping soundly. She didn't know what she was dreaming about, but her saliva had soaked the pillow.

  "Dongdong, stop spinning. Go to bed early."

  "You haven't slept well these days. You've lost weight," Guan Hanyan said, her heart aching.

  "Your family eats three meals a day, and they're all white rice and flour. How can I lose weight?"

  " Sister Hanyan, go to sleep," said Tang Dongdong." I'll spin for a while more."

  "Then don't be too late."

  Guan Hanyan wiped the corner of Little Er's mouth and returned to the west room.

  "Looks like there's no show today…"

  Qin Feng listened to the squeaking sounds and felt helpless.

  He and Guan Hanyan were in their honeymoon period, and they were having a passionate time. However, there was only a central room between the east and west rooms. There was no door. Qin Feng could hear Xiao'e's sleep talk clearly at night. If the two of them wanted to do something, they had to wait until Tang Dongdong was asleep.

  However, Tang Dongdong seemed to be on steroids. Every night, she would spin until midnight.

  By the time she fell asleep, Qin Feng and Guan Hanyan would have fallen asleep as well.

  "We have to build a shed in the courtyard tomorrow and drive this light bulb to the shed to spin."

  With deep resentment, Qin Feng gradually fell asleep.

  At the back of the mountain, Xie Guang brought the bald man out of the small forest. Under the faint moonlight, they quietly sneaked into the village.

  Both of them were holding hatchets in their hands. They had just been sharpened in the afternoon, and the edges of the hatchets reflected a cold light in the moonlight.

  They were already prepared to silence him.

  "There are no dogs in your village, right?"

  Baldy asked softly.

  " Third Head, don't worry. Our village is so poor that we can't even eat our fill. Who can afford to raise a dog?"

  "That's good."

  Without a dog, it wouldn't wake anyone up.

  "Eh, why is the light still on in that kid's house?"

  "Third Leader, should we do it?" Xie Guang pointed at the slightly lit window and asked.

  " What are you doing? The lights are on, so you're not asleep yet. The whole village will hear you if you shout. Wait for me."

  Bald Man slapped Bald Man Xie.

  "Yes, yes!"

  Xie Guang shrunk his neck and brought the bald man to squat in the grass outside the courtyard, waiting patiently.

  An hour later,

  Two hours…

  Four hours had passed. It was already late at night, but the light on the window was still on.

  "Could it be that this kid didn't turn on the lights when he slept?"

  The bald man couldn't take it anymore.

  After squatting for such a long time, his legs were numb.

  " It's possible. This kid is a guy who doesn't know how to live his life. The family fortune his father left for him was lost in less than a year."

  "I've earned so much money this time, so I'm sure my extravagant habits will come back again," said Xie Guang.

  "This is my money. I can't let him waste it like this!"

  " Let's go!" Baldy's eyes flashed fiercely." Let's go!"

  Xie Guang was already impatient from waiting and quickly got up.

  Who knew that just as the two of them stood up, the door of the central room opened.

  Xie Guang and the bald man were so frightened that they quickly squatted down again.

  At the entrance of the central room, Tang Dongdong looked up at the moon and stretched.

  Her graceful figure was undoubtedly revealed.

  "This kid's wife is pretty!"

  The bald man couldn't help but gulp.

  " This isn't his wife. This is Tang Dongdong from Guanjiawan."

  As an experienced hoodlum, Xie Guang knew the beautiful girls in the nearby villages like the back of his hand. He recognized Tang Dongdong at a glance.

  " Nonsense. If she's not his wife, why is she in his house?"

  "Qin Feng must have gotten rich and taken a concubine."

  Xie Guang said," I heard that Tang Dongdong is a girl from a wealthy family in the city. Her family was robbed, so she came to our place. Many people came to ask for her hand in marriage, but they didn't succeed. I didn't expect that this kid would get her."

  "How much money would it cost to marry such a concubine!"

  The bald man patted his leg in heartache.

  It was as if Qin Feng had really spent his money.

  "Don't kill this woman. I want to bring her back!"

  To bandits, beautiful women were also a kind of commodity.

  After they slept together, they could sell it to the underground brothels in the valley.

  Someone as beautiful as Tang Dongdong could sell for a good price.

  "Third Head, this kid's wife is called Guan Hanyan. She's also very pretty."

  Xie Guang quickly said.

  He had been drooling over Guan Hanyan for a long time.

  "Then bring them back too."

  The two of them saw Tang Dongdong enter the kitchen. Using the shadow under the tree, they carefully crept into the courtyard.

  Tang Dongdong drank some water in the kitchen and was about to go back to sleep when she suddenly felt a chill on her neck.

  He looked down and saw a sharp chopper on his neck.

  She subconsciously wanted to call for help, but in the next second, her mouth was covered.

  "Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you!"

  "Yes, yes!"

  After experiencing the drastic changes in the family, Tang Dongdong was stronger than the average woman. Although she was also trembling in fear, she suppressed her fear and nodded slightly.

  The bald man took out a coil of rope from his pocket and tied Tang Dongdong to the kitchen door frame. He then tore off the clothes that Little E had hung in the courtyard and stuffed them into his mouth.

  Then, he held the chopper and said to Xie Guang," Let's go in together. I'll hold the woman down. You kill the man. Do you hear me?"

  "Good!"

  Xie Guang gripped the hatchet in his hand tightly, and a trace of viciousness flashed across his eyes.

  He would definitely not be able to return to Haijiao Village, so he could only become a bandit.

  However, there were too many people who couldn't afford to live these days. The competition between bandits was also fierce. If one didn't have some tricks up their sleeves, they would still starve on the mountain.

  The Third Leader had told him before he came that if he didn't want to be looked down upon by the other bandits, he had to take a head as a token of allegiance so that he wouldn't be bullied.

  Qin Feng was Xie Guang's target.

  Hearing that the two of them wanted to kill Qin Feng, Tang Dongdong panicked.

  Seeing that Xie Guang and the bald man were about to reach the door of the central room, he gritted his teeth and knocked his head against the door frame.

  Bang! Bang!

  The low voice was particularly ear-piercing in the middle of the night.

  "You're courting death!"

  Xie Guang turned around to deal with Tang Dongdong, but he was stopped by the bald man.

  "Don't worry about her. It's more important to deal with the people in the house!"

  The bald man pushed Xie Guang into the hall.

  This was not the first time he had done such a thing. He knew very well that the sound of Tang Dongdong knocking on the door would not travel far, but if the people in the house were woken up and shouted, it would be over.

  Xie Guang also understood. He rushed into the central room with his chopper.

  However, as soon as he entered the house, he saw a stool smashing towards him!

  Xie Guang didn't have time to dodge at all and was smashed solid!

  Bang!

  The wooden stool was smashed into pieces!

  Xie Guang did not even make a sound as he fell to the ground and fainted.

  Qin Feng walked out from the shadows behind the door and grabbed the chopper that Xie Guang had dropped on the ground.

  "Damn it!"

  Baldy was indeed an experienced man.

  After seeing Qin Feng, his first reaction was not to rush up and fight. Instead, he turned around and rushed to the kitchen door, holding a knife to Tang Dongdong's neck!

  "Don't make a sound, or I'll kill her!"
