336: revenge

The man looked up to the sky and let out a long howl, “If I don’t avenge this hatred, I, Lin Ang, swear I am not human!”

With bloodshot eyes, he slowly uttered a name, one word at a time, filled with murderous intent, “Zhao! Qing! Yang!”

This was the name he had heard the two people dragging him say when he was half-conscious.

Lin Ang hadn't paid much attention to the content of their conversation, but this name alone was deeply etched in his memory.

Then, Lin Ang rushed into the kitchen, looking for a handy weapon.

As it turned out, all the cooking utensils inside had already been taken.

Helpless, he went to the back of the house to look for some farm tools, intending to use them to get revenge on Zhao Qingyang and his group.

However, the farm tools in the back of the house were also gone.

In this era, iron tools were still relatively valuable, useful for forging weapons or many other things.

The group that came to move things hadn't left these items behind.

Frustrated, Lin Ang could only let out an angry roar.

He found a stick of appropriate weight from inside the house and rushed outside to seek revenge.

…

“Big Brother, this woman is quite pretty. It’s a shame we only got to play for such a short time; the brothers haven’t had enough yet.”

Zhao Qingyang flipped the broken silver in his hand while listening to his subordinate’s report.

After hearing his subordinate’s words, Zhao Qingyang didn't look up and coldly said, “You still have the nerve to say that? Look at the good job you did.

Playing with her like that, this time the price was reduced by a full third.”

The subordinate beside him chuckled awkwardly, “Big Brother, you know, Sister Yu plays every day, and the brothers have lost interest.

This time, it was rare to find someone so attractive, so it’s normal to lose control for a bit.”

Zhao Qingyang stopped counting the silver, looked up at his subordinate, and said, “This incident is settled, but if it happens again, next time we encounter someone attractive, I’ll sell them directly, and you won’t get to play.”

“Yes!” Hearing this, the subordinate immediately became serious, stating, “Big Brother, I guarantee that such a thing will not happen again.

I’ve already given them a good scolding about today’s incident, and I’ll scold them again when we go out later.”

Zhao Qingyang nodded, “Good, you may go!”

“Yes, yes, yes!” The subordinate listened to Zhao Qingyang’s words and backed out.

“Wait a moment!” Zhao Qingyang suddenly spoke.

“What is it, Big Brother?” The subordinate quickly stopped and turned back to ask.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Qingyang said, “Tell Yu’er to wait for me in bed.”

“Understood!” The subordinate received the order and truly exited this time.

But Zhao Qingyang remained seated, clutching the silver in his hand, not moving.

After a while, he only moved when he heard the subordinate’s shouts outside.

He quietly got up from his seat, looked back at the door’s direction once more.

Then he secretly went to a hidden corner, checking his surroundings.

He pried open a perfectly sealed spot, pulled out a box, and gently opened it.

He put all the silver he had obtained today inside, then carefully pushed the box back.

After all this, Zhao Qingyang finally let out a soft sigh.

Although he was very young, he was exceptionally precocious.

Therefore, he was even more acutely aware of how weak the power he had personally established was.

Just like today, if all his subordinates wanted to do something, he could only agree.

The only thing he could do afterward was to criticize and warn them.

After putting away the things, he continued to quietly leave the spot where he had hidden them.

He only returned to his normal demeanor when he was back near his seat.

Walking outside the door, his expression was as usual.

The subordinates outside were busy working, dealing with the baby that would arrive later.

Hung by an iron hook under the eaves, it was now just a skeleton.

The flesh had already been cut into strips of various sizes, ready to be made into dried meat.

These subordinates were working there while listening to the lecture.

Zhao Qingyang said nothing, just nodded to the subordinate who was giving the lecture.

Then, he disappeared from their sight.

Back inside the house, Zhao Qingyang pushed open the door and walked in.

He called out, “Yu’er, I’m back.”

But he received no response.

Zhao Qingyang vaguely felt something was wrong and cautiously walked to the bed to check.

The next moment, he saw a terrifying scene, his pupils contracting slightly.

Yu’er was lying on the bed, with a cup-sized gash on her forehead.

From the outside, a part of her head was caved in from the impact.

Her entire face was a bloody mess, and the pillow and sheets were covered in spreading blood.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingyang turned to run outside.

Just then, he suddenly heard a whooshing sound, and immediately dodged his head, trying to evade it.

But unfortunately, the opponent was well-prepared, had an ambush, and had anticipated his move.

Furthermore, this strike was not aimed at Zhao Qingyang’s head.

After all, he was just a half-grown child, not very strong, always relying on sneak attacks to kill, and not having much combat experience.

Therefore, Zhao Qingyang did not dodge this blow.

A stick was brutally thrust into Zhao Qingyang’s abdomen, knocking him to the ground.

Zhao Qingyang immediately tried to cover his stomach, about to wail.

However, the stick was thrust directly into his mouth, stirred around a bit, and then pulled out sharply, bringing with it several broken teeth.

Two more strikes, *thwack, thwack*, both aimed at Zhao Qingyang’s legs, and the sound of bones colliding rang out.

Zhao Qingyang cried out in pain, but then the stick was inserted into his mouth once more.

At the same time, he also saw who had attacked him.

It was this sight that scared Zhao Qingyang out of his wits.

Wasn’t this the very person whose throat he had slit earlier today?

There were even follow-up stabs, so how could he possibly be alive? And judging by his appearance, he had no injuries at all.

How could this be?

Ignoring the pain and disbelief in Zhao Qingyang’s eyes, Lin Ang pulled a dagger from his body.

Without hesitation, he immediately severed Zhao Qingyang’s hand and foot tendons on the spot.

Visibly, Zhao Qingyang’s pupils were filled with pain that was almost distorting his face.

Seeing Zhao Qingyang in this state, a hint of pleasure flashed in Lin Ang’s eyes, and he felt much more relieved inside.

Holding the dagger, Lin Ang pressed it against Zhao Qingyang’s neck, “I’ll take the stick away in a moment. You are not allowed to make a sound. I ask, you answer, understood?”

With the knife at his throat, under the fear of death, Zhao Qingyang endured the pain and nodded.

Lin Ang said no more and pulled out the stick, but as he pulled it out, he deliberately stirred it a few more times.

Watching Zhao Qingyang tremble all over from the pain, Lin Ang felt even more satisfied.

Such scum did not deserve to live.

Their location was something almost no one was willing to help conceal, so Lin Ang found out with a casual inquiry.

Being just a group of children, Lin Ang easily snuck in.

After entering, he first noticed the little girl beggar walking towards a certain room, so he thought of dealing with and questioning her first.

When the little girl beggar discovered him, she didn’t scream but begged for mercy.

Seeing her pitiful expression, Lin Ang’s anger flared, and he no longer cared about interrogation.

He immediately delivered two blows with the stick, smashing her head out of shape before stopping.

Originally, Lin Ang was a bit annoyed with himself for being too impulsive.

Just then, there was movement outside, and he quickly hid.

Unexpectedly, the one who entered was Zhao Qingyang from earlier today, and he was alone.

Since that was the case, then he…
