Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

One sentence seemed to have hit Wang Jiawen's Achilles' heel.

The cave fell silent instantly.

Lu Weiguo wasn't in a hurry, at least that's how it appeared to others.

They just leisurely boiled the water.

They even invited Dazhuang to come and warm themselves by the fire, just like they were camping.

But the damp firewood was still emitting black smoke.

The fumes were so strong that people couldn't open their eyes.

But Lu Weiguo and his companion stared wide-eyed, and the black smoke that stung their eyes had no effect whatsoever.

But the anger in his eyes grew even stronger.

"You're quite something, kid. If you don't ruin my plans, we can be friends and accomplish something great together."

"event?"

Upon hearing the human trafficker's words, Lu Weiguo chuckled.

The voice was laced with sarcasm, "What great things could a lowlife like you possibly accomplish? You're worse than an animal in life, and you won't even make it to hell in death. No one will serve you while you're alive, and no one will burn a grave for you when you're dead."

"You can't even afford four dishes, and you want to be my friend? You don't deserve it!"

In later generations, many people used the phrase "not being able to afford four dishes" as a way to describe someone as very poor.

But in this day and age, this is a blatant curse.

It's almost no different from cursing someone's ancestors for eighteen generations.

The four dishes refer to dishes for a full moon celebration, weddings, farewells, and sacrifices.

If you can't eat four dishes, it means you have no parents or relatives above you, and no children or grandchildren to serve you below you.

When you die, you have no relatives or friends, and you can only be a lonely ghost.

"you!!!"

Wang Jiawen clearly hadn't expected Lu Weiguo to say that, "Aren't you afraid of me..."

"You think you're still alive? If you release my son, I'll kill you right now. If you kill my son, I'll make you wish you were dead."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiawen felt a cold wind blow through the cave.

I instinctively shivered.

Without even realizing it, his hands began to tremble.

He knew that Lu Weiguo was right.

He had seen Lu Weiguo's eyes when Lu Jiacheng was abducted last time.

When looking at his child, Lu Weiguo's eyes couldn't hide his love.

That kind of gentle, tranquil, and deep-seated love was something he was seeing for the first time in a father's eyes.

He's the kind of person who has no feelings and doesn't understand a father's love for his child.

But he knew that Lu Jiacheng was Lu Weiguo's lifeblood.

What Lu Weiguo just said, he can definitely do.

"Is there really no room for further discussion?" Thinking this, Wang Jiawen chickened out.

He has seen too many scenes of parents despairing after their children have been abducted.

What he liked best was to find the child's parents after sending the child away.

I just followed behind them, watching them go from despair to encouraging each other.

After searching for many years without success, they felt even deeper despair.

But the first time he was caught, he was trapped in a cave.

That sense of despair seemed to suddenly overwhelm him.

All the parents of the children he abducted, the parents of those children who went insane or committed suicide.

At this moment, everyone surrounded him.

They waited for his death, to drag his soul into a cage, never to be reborn.

"Lu Weiguo, I'm entrusting my child to you. Just spare my life, and we'll leave each other alone. I'll never come to your village again, or even to Northeast China."

"Okay?"

The last two words were spoken with a pleading tone by Wang Jiawen.

The voice that came out trembled.

There was even a hint of a sob in her voice.

"Oh? You want to negotiate with me? Are you crazy?" Lu Weiguo's voice grew even lower. "I'm not one to lie. I'll just tell you three words: Impossible."

Don't expect to negotiate with me. Your best option is to hand over the child now and die.

The firmness in Lu Weiguo's voice was like a sharp sword piercing Dao Wang Jiawen's chest.

At that moment, it seemed like there was something wrong with his ears.

A series of mournful cries rang out.

Wang Jiawen covered his ears, trying to force himself to calm down.

But. . .

"Give me back my child!"

"My son~"

"Ugh, you heartless beast!"

The mournful cries seemed to echo directly in my mind; covering my ears was useless.

"ah!!!"

A furious roar echoed from inside the cave.

"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!! Do you think I, a living person, am afraid of you dead people?!"

You can't even keep an eye on your own kids, and you blame me? I was just teaching you a lesson!

That's for giving your children a better life!! Get out! All of you, get out!!

The word "get lost" had barely left his lips.

"Let's do it!"

Lu Weiguo's voice was fierce.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dazhuang, like a bull, rammed into the pile of stones from the side.

A dull thud was heard.

Liu Dazhuang didn't hold back at all, his body colliding with the stone with tremendous force.

After the collision, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Liu Dazhuang's mouth.

But he swallowed it back in an instant.

Despite the pain in his internal organs, he frantically dug through the collapsed pile of stones.

Seeing the pile of stones collapse, Lu Weiguo cleared away the stones and rushed inside.

Only a sliver of light entered the dimly lit stone cave.

Wang Jiawen, who was blocking the way, covered his ears with both hands and frantically banged his head against the stone.

But he was still carrying that pistol when he saw Lu Weiguo come in.

He slammed his head against the ground, not caring whether he could hit Lu Weiguo.

He fired a shot right at the cave entrance!

"Bang."

The gunshot was particularly deafening in the cave.

Hiding in the cave, the little boy, who was four or five years older than Lu Jiacheng, instinctively covered his ears.

But her body was still pressing down on Lu Jiacheng.

It was as if this was his last straw.

"Well!"

A muffled groan.

It came from Lu Weiguo's mouth.

A stream of blood slid down his arm.

The impact at such close range only made him stagger for a moment before he rushed directly to Wang Jiawen's side.

The unhit right hand slammed hard onto Wang Jiawen's head.

Then he grabbed Wang Jiawen by the neck, just like grabbing a chick, and slammed him against the stone wall!

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!! I beg you, please don't kill me!"

"You little bastard, strangle that child! Hurry! Kill him! Let me live, I don't want to die!!"

This isn't a case of "better to live a miserable life than die a good death."

Rather, he was afraid to die, afraid to see the wronged souls of those parents who died because of losing their children.

"Don't move!!"

Lu Weiguo turned his head and looked at the child.

The hand that was already reaching for the body froze in mid-air.

Lu Jiacheng was also awakened by the roar. He opened his eyes and saw Lu Weiguo's figure.

"Daddy, Daddy, is that you? I miss you so much. Am I dead?"

Waaaaah, Daddy, I'm sorry, I can't protect my sister anymore, I can't protect Mom anymore.

I'm sorry, I disappointed you...
