Cheng Ling’s heart thumped.

The people were in chaos!

These two people were here to invite him to join them.

Of course, Cheng Ling wouldn’t agree.

“Alas!” Cheng Ling’s tone was steady and calm. ‘He’ proceeded, “My mother is weak, and I can’t afford to waste more time here. I have to hurry back and take care of her. Goodbye.”

As she spoke, she cupped her hands and stepped aside, wanting to quickly bypass the two of them and leave.

The best way to not get involved was to stop listening to them.

At this moment, a hand reached out.

Chief Guo exhaled and shouted angrily, “Dear boy, it’s not that easy to leave!”

As he spoke, his fingers curled into the shape of an eagle’s claw and swiped at Cheng Ling’s head.

His body charged forward at the same time, as his two thick legs stomped on the ground. Not to mention anything else, just the strength he showed when running was terrifying.

Cheng Ling wasn’t short, but she was fragile. How could she be compared to this strong man?

If the man hit her, she would spit out some blood.

A sinister smile appeared on Chief Guo’s face. Cheng Ling’s body was more flexible than he had imagined.

She turned her body to the side, and just as Chief Guo couldn’t stop his running momentum and passed her, she suddenly stretched her hand out.

This hand was on Chief Guo’s extended arm, precisely the acupuncture point on his upper arm.

Chief Guo immediately experienced what it meant to have ‘half of the body go numb.’

He was shocked, but Cheng Ling turned around and moved behind him before reacting. She turned her hand and knocked on the acupuncture point on the back of his neck.

Wing Chun, one-inch punch!

In the space of a square inch, an extremely condensed force attacked in an instant.

“Ah!” Chief Guo cried out as he felt a sharp pain in his spine. Immediately after, Cheng Ling kicked him in the knee.

Bang! Bang!

The brawny man was knocked to the ground, and like a fish out of water, he could no longer turn over.

Cheng Ling raised a foot and gently touched the central point on Chief Guo’s back.

However, Chief Guo could swear he felt whatever was pressing on his back was more than just a light foot; it was like a huge mountain!

Everything happened extremely quickly.

On the other side, the young man who was watching finally woke up from his daze.

He hurriedly took a deep breath and wavered between immediately running away and going forward to save him for a moment. In the end, he managed to move a step. With a stiff face, he laughed dryly and said, “This…hehe, brother, Brother Cheng, you … What do you mean by this?”

Cheng Ling stared at him and didn’t say anything.

The man’s face turned pale as ‘he’ slowly said, “Tell me your name and background.”

“Ah?” The teenager gulped and moved his hands and feet uneasily. He said hurriedly, “I’m … Cough, I’m also from Ten Mile Castle. I’m from Dong… Lin County. My name is Liang Erzhu. I have an eighty-year-old mother at home!”

“Boohoo…” Liang Erzhu was finally in the right mood. He started crying and wiped his tears. “Brother, it’s not easy for us. My… My Brother Guo may have a bad temper, but he’s not a bad person.”

“I- I’m not a bad person! Brother Cheng, what are you doing? No, it really shouldn’t be like this. We don’t have any grudges in the past or present, brother Cheng. You-you should lift your feet!”

“You…” Cheng Ling was stunned. “We didn’t have any grudges in the past, but as for whether we’ll have any grudges in the near future… Heh.”

“I’ll remember Brother Liang’s name,” she laughed. I’ll also have to trouble Brother Liang to persuade Chief Guo. I don’t care what you want to do, neither do I know what you want to do. This Cheng only has one request. Don’t blame me for anything.”

As she spoke, the tip of her foot that was on the acupuncture point on Boss Guo’s back suddenly exerted a little force.

Chief Guo had initially tried to support himself with his hands, not wanting to look too ugly, but Cheng Ling’s force caused him to feel a sharp pain in his back. This time, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but groan in pain.

His face turned red, and he wished there was a hole in the ground so that he could bury his head in it.

Cheng Ling’s voice was neither fast nor slow, “Okay, okay, don’t mess with me, and we’ll all be fine.” Whoever offends me in this world, should know that a few lives are nothing!”

Finally, after saying this, she retracted her foot.

Chief Guo, who was lying on the ground, felt the weight on his back loosen. After a while, he heard the sound of footsteps gradually fading away.

He suddenly let out a breath, and his first reaction was to lie on the ground and not get up. He didn’t care if he wanted to save his face or his life, but he wanted to cry.

“Wuwuwu …”

Liang Erzhu came to pull him, but Chief Guo’s sobs were muffled, and he refused to get up. He only covered his face with his sleeves and pulled Liang Erzhu, “T-that kid really went far, didn’t he?”

Liang Erzhu said carefully, “We’ve gone far, brother. Get up quickly. I’ll cover you. No one will dare to look at us!”

…

“Heh!” Cheng Ling shook her head and laughed.

She walked to the side of her shack. Before lifting the grass curtain, she glanced toward the mountain forest from the corner of her eye. She saw Liang Erzhu pulling Chief Guo, and the two of them were hunched together. She didn’t know what they were hiding from, but they were just walking around the mountain forest.

They didn’t know that their position was actually not covered from every angle. No matter who it was in this refugee area, as long as they looked over, they could be seen.

Who could he hide from? He was probably just hiding from some psychological comfort.

As for Cheng Ling, she had even defeated Chief Guo. Now, there were fewer refugees who dared to target her. Her gaze only needed to sweep around casually, and anyone who made eye contact with her would hurriedly lower their heads, no matter who it was.

This deterrent effect was really not bad!

Only then did Cheng Ling lift the curtain and bend over to return to her shack.

In the shack, Cheng Dani and Cheng Ernii were surrounding Mu Sanniang. Cheng Erni hugged Mu Sanniang’s upper body and lifted her up, while Cheng Dani carefully fed her porridge.

However, Mu Sanniang didn’t open her mouth at all. She even clenched her teeth and turned her head to avoid the porridge.

It was evident that she was not completely unconscious. She was simply willing to leave the food for the child and not eat a single bite.

Cheng Dani’s tears started to flow. “Mother, why don’t you eat?! We can’t live without you!”

Mu Sanniang still didn’t open her mouth. At this time, Cheng Ling walked over.

She knelt in front of her and gently brushed her lips.

At the same time, her hand lightly pressed an acupuncture point on Mu Sanniang’s cheek. Mu Sanniang unconsciously opened her mouth, and a small Yunnan Baiyao pill, the size of a green bean, was fed into her mouth.

Everything happened too quickly. Cheng Ling’s actions were like lightning. When she fed the medicine, the Cheng sisters didn’t even see what she had done.

Of the two sisters, only one said happily, “Brother Ling, you’re back.”

“Brother Ling, you…” One of them was shocked.

Before she could finish her sentence, Mu Sanniang, who had her eyes closed, suddenly groaned and opened her eyes.
