Wielding a butcher's knife, a seven-year-old wicked girl supports her family and abuses her wic

As the oxcart gradually filled up.

Li Xiuyun fell silent again, while Yang Xiaoman held the heavy money bag in both hands, her heart filled with coldness.

Now that things have come to this, she is almost certain.

Whether it's the strange tale of the evil dragon in Yangjia Village or the kidnapping of the younger sister, Aning, by bandits, there's more to it than meets the eye...

The presence of my uncle and aunt is indispensable!

"You two old bastards, just wait and see if I die in Black Wind Mountain..."

"Otherwise, if I were given even the slightest chance to catch my breath, I would personally send you both to utter ruin!"

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaoman gripped the ends of the money bag tightly with both hands, and the veins on his arms bulged.

She was holding her breath, and even wished she could kill those two beasts as soon as she got back to the village!

But she knew that the bigger picture was more important.

Tomorrow at noon, she will go to Black Wind Mountain to redeem Xiao Ning.

Before that, we must not create any unnecessary complications.

The oxcart creaked and groaned as it moved forward, and after an unknown amount of time, it finally arrived at the familiar entrance to Yangjia Village.

As soon as Yang Xiaoman pulled her mother off the carriage, she saw a group of village women looking over from under the crooked tree.

Upon seeing her, their expressions changed drastically, and they immediately began whispering among themselves, their words unknown.

With a cold expression, she naturally knew the reason and couldn't be bothered with these idiots who had been easily brainwashed.

Just as he was about to pull his mother back to the courtyard, a sharp sound suddenly broke the tranquility of the village entrance.

"Yang Xiaoman! Why are you still lingering in Yangjia Village?"

"Don't you realize that if you stay here, our entire village will be ruined because of you!"

"Even the old sage said that you were possessed by an evil dragon that day, which gave you the strength to shatter our river-suppressing black stone with a single punch. If you stay here any longer, what will happen if the evil dragon breaks through the water?!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman paused in her steps.

She could clearly feel her mother's body trembling slightly.

"Xiaoman, let's go home."

Li Xiuyun took a deep breath and said in a low voice.

After saying that, she prepared to pull her daughter along and quicken her pace.

But Yang Xiaoman stopped and looked coldly at the village woman who had spoken, a mocking smile curving her lips.

"If I were possessed by a dragon, you would be the first person I kill. Do you believe me or not?!"

Upon hearing this, the group of village women immediately showed expressions of horror.

The man who had spoken turned deathly pale and slumped back down, no longer daring to utter a sound.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaoman smiled disdainfully, "A bunch of ignorant fools who believe whatever others say."

"Once Yang Lizheng clarifies the truth for me, you'll probably realize how foolish and laughable you've been!"

After she finished speaking, seeing that everyone had lowered their heads and remained silent, she slowly withdrew her gaze.

Then he pulled his mother towards the courtyard.

After she left the village entrance, she no longer heard any more whispers behind her.

Only after the two figures gradually disappeared did the woman, her face ashen, mutter a curse under her breath:

"Pah! What jinx? I think her father was killed by her!"

"Now look what's happened, they want to kill our whole village. I don't know what Yang Lizheng is thinking, he's actually protecting this heartless mother and daughter."

"Could it be true, as the rumors say, that Village Chief Yang is having an affair with this widow Li?!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people standing under the crooked tree immediately became somewhat subtle.

"You can't just say things like that!"

……

Walking on the ridge of the field, Yang Xiaoman gently squeezed her mother's hand and said seriously:

"Mother, we did nothing wrong."

Li Xiuyun pursed her lips. "I know..."

"We are in the right, therefore we have nothing to fear!"

"If we had left in silence just now, wouldn't that have made them think we were confirming their inner thoughts, making us seem guilty?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyun trembled.

"Xiaoman, Mother understands."

Seeing her mother's reaction, Yang Xiaoman finally began to smile.

Back in the courtyard, she immediately hid the money bag under the bed.

This considerable sum of money was the foundation for her journey to Black Wind Mountain to rescue her sister, and naturally, she couldn't afford any mishaps.

Li Xiuyun went straight into the kitchen and began preparing lunch for her daughter without saying a word.

Looking at the wild vegetables and cured meatballs that had been cooked in advance in the pot, tears instantly filled my eyes.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

At the same time, the ear-piercing sound of sharpening knives came from the courtyard.

After hiding the ransom, Yang Xiaoman immediately returned to the courtyard and placed the pig-slaughtering knife and whetstone there.

Then he brought over a basin of clean water and began sharpening his knife.

She was not one to be easily bullied; even if she went up the bandit mountain alone tomorrow, she would still need something to protect herself.

Yang Xiaoman understood that the Qi family head was right; those bandits were vicious and ruthless, and there was no reasoning with them.

The only way to reason with them is through force!

Showing weakness will never win the sympathy of evil people.

Only by drawing our sharpest blades and revealing our full strength can we seize a glimmer of hope!

Hearing the commotion coming from the courtyard, Li Xiuyun was startled and quickly wiped away the tears on her cheeks with her sleeve.

Before long, they brought out steaming hot wild vegetable and cured meatballs and placed them on the stone table.

At this moment, Yang Xiaoman put down the pig-slaughtering knife he had just sharpened, walked to the front of the stone table, picked up the bowl, and began to wolf down his food.

Before long, a bowl full of wild vegetables and cured meatballs was gone.

Seeing this, Li Xiuyun forced a smile onto her pale face and gently rubbed Yang Xiaoman's forehead, saying:

"Eat slowly, there's plenty more in the pot. Mom will get you more when you're done."

As she spoke, she picked up the empty bowl and prepared to turn around and walk towards the kitchen.

"Mom, aren't you going to eat it while it's hot?" Yang Xiaoman asked.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyun sighed and shook her head, saying:

"Mother isn't hungry yet; she'll eat when she gets hungry."

"You don't need to worry about me, there's enough food in the pot for the two of us to eat for two meals."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoman had no choice but to give up and nodded slightly.

She naturally understood that her mother was definitely not hungry.

It's obvious she just wasn't in the mood to eat.

Although she didn't have much of an appetite, the thought of heading to Black Wind Mountain alone the next day, which might involve a fierce battle, made her anxious.

Even if she wasn't in the mood to eat, she had to force herself to eat.

Only by maintaining absolute physical strength can one seize that fleeting chance of survival from a life-or-death situation!

With that thought in mind, she ate several more large bowls before finally stopping.

Yang Xiaoman didn't stay idle in the following time; she took the time to chop the firewood piled in the corner of the yard into wooden strips.

It wasn't until late at night that he went inside and fell asleep.

Meanwhile, in the adjacent main room, the shadow of a kerosene lamp flickered through the paper windows all night long.

The next day, early in the morning.

Before dawn, the crowing of roosters began to rise and fall in the village.

In the pitch-black room, Yang Xiaoman suddenly opened her eyes and sat up without hesitation.

She had to get to Black Wind Mountain and Soul-Severing Ridge before noon!
