What kind of ugly child was this? His face was covered with potholes, and traces of charred flesh flowed through his bulging muscles. With just a glance, he was able to create a terrifying effect comparable to that of a ghost.
He stood against the light, the shadow casting onto his face, making the ferocious scene seem all the more real.
He opened his mouth, revealing his sinister teeth. His voice was especially sad and gentle as he said, "Big sister, I need your money. Give it to me. I'm in such a miserable state."
This... this...
Chen Mu swallowed his saliva and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brat, even if you feel pity for me, other people would have to support their families. Do I look like a rich person to you? If I give you all the money, I'll starve myself. "
She was not afraid of ghosts. Even if it was, those that came out in broad daylight were not real ghosts. Since they were humans, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Her hesitation was due to the child's miserable appearance, but … No matter how bad his life was, he couldn't steal it right? If he was well, what about her?
"The money is mine. I can help you, but not if I'm hungry. Give me the money, and I'll give you a tael. "
"No." "I need the money. It's mine now, and if you don't give it to me, I'll stick with you."
Yo, you refuse a toast and you refuse a forfeit! How did her money become his? She pitied his miserable appearance. Had he gotten even more out of it?
"Originally, I wanted to discuss some matters with you. However, since you said it like that, I'm not happy." Chen Mu sneered, "What I hate the most in my life is to be shameless, to hit a snake with a rod!" He continued to run towards the child.
The child seemed to have never thought that she would actually dare to run towards him. He was stunned for a moment before turning around and running away.
Chen Mu had used his real strength to block him off in the corner. How could he let him run away so easily? His body froze as his hands reached out to grab Chen Mu's collar and dragged him back.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH! Someone is bullying little kids! Help!"
The child let out a mournful cry, like a flapping white fish, twisting and turning in her hand.
If it was based on Chen Mu Mu's physique in his previous life, not to mention restraining a child, even bulky and robust men wouldn't be a problem. However, her body was still very sick and weak. She had chased after the child for so long, so her physical strength was already insufficient. With the child pouncing on her, she really couldn't hold on anymore.
Seeing this, the child lowered his head and fiercely bit her wrist. Taking advantage of her pain, he quickly let go of his two short legs and ran out.
"Little brat, if I let you escape today, I'll turn the tables and write 'Chen Mu Mu'!"
Chen Mu was so angry that he grinded his teeth. Ignoring the pain on his wrist, he squinted his eyes and kicked the rocks at his feet.
The child turned his head and tried to bite her wrist the same way he did before. Chen Mu Mu Mu's hair exploded as she viciously slapped the child's butt.
"Meow!" I've never seen such a shameless rascal in my entire life! If I don't teach your mother a lesson today, you might think that everyone in the world is a toy under your control! "
Although she was young and her body was weak, the power she exerted in her fury was not small. She slapped the child with her palm, causing the child to let out a cry.
"Bad guy, you big bad guy, you're bullying me!"
"So what if I'm bullying you? You're not learning well at such a young age, and you're even threatening people by stealing things. If you don't teach me a lesson now, I'll still be a scourge when I grow up!"
Upon seeing the other party crying like that, Chen Mu couldn't be bothered to beat him up. He wanted to take back his money pouch and leave immediately. Who would have thought that the child would cry and cling to her purse and not let go? Just as she was about to fight over it, she received a heavy blow to the back of her head that almost made her concussion.
She raised her hand to feel the blood droplets that dripped from the back of her neck. With ruthlessness appearing in her eyes, she slowly turned her head to look at the blood droplets that were prepared to smash her again …
The woman of the son.
The woman panicked when she saw her gaze. Her feet staggered as she took two steps back. She glanced at the wailing devilish brat on the ground before raising her hand …
Big wooden stick, straighten your chest
Rui Qian angrily rebuked: "Bastard, how can you bully a child? What are you staring at? Do you believe that I won't beat you until all your teeth fall out?!"
"Try again?" Chen Mu Mu sneered as he looked at the dark red light in his hands. "This brat dared to threaten me while biting me after stealing from me. So what if I take back my things? What if I take back my own things?"
"Xiao Mao did not steal anything!" The woman had a stubborn face as she glared at her. "You woman, not only are you bullying a child but you are also slandering me. Didn't your mother teach you manners?"
"It's none of your business whether or not I'm educated, but this brat doesn't, it's all my business!" With a tug of her strength, Chen Mu Mu snatched the purse from the child's hands and looked coldly at the woman. "He didn't steal anything. What is this?"
He then took a glance at his finger which had grazed something on his face due to the snatching of items from the children, "Yo, so there's no disfigurement. Not only did he steal it, there's also intimidation!"
"My money!" Seeing that her purse had been stolen, the child stopped crying and leaped up to grab the purse in Chen Mu Mu's hands. If Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't hand it over, he would bite her hand.
"Is this a mad dog?" He was still hurting from the bite the other day, but Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu wasn't willing to let him bite her again. He pushed forcefully, pushing him to the ground.
"My purse! Mother, my money!" The child screamed and pounced again.
"Are you done yet!?" Chen Mu Mu Mu was infuriated, but just as she pushed the child away, the woman's wooden stick smashed into her head once again. She quickly tilted her head, and the wooden stick landed heavily on her back. The force was so strong that it nearly broke her ribs.
She staggered, her tears nearly tearing out of her eyes.
"Little bastard!"
"Humans, bullying children, and even stealing our money, is there still any justice?!" When the woman saw that she had been tricked, she swung the stick at her again. "Since you didn't have your mother's teachings, I'll teach you a lesson in your mother's stead. I'll let you know what is the way of the world!"
"Mom, don't hit my face!" The child wiped off the mucus on his face and reminded him, "She still has some looks. If her face is injured, she won't be able to sell!"
Chen Mu Mu Mu's heart skipped a beat. Not only did she encounter thieves and swindlers, she even met a trafficker?
She had actually forgotten that she was only a twelve-year-old girl. She didn't even have the strength to talk about her lack of weapons!
A lonely girl, how good could she end up? In this world, things were not simple and honest. Everyone was kind.
"Mother knows what to do." The woman answered, hitting her in the back and snatching the purse in her hand as well. She looked inside and nodded in satisfaction. "There's quite a bit of it. Two taels of silver is enough for our mother to use for a few months."
He took another glance at Chen Mu Mu and said to the child, "This girl doesn't look like she's from here. It's best if mother Niu says the same. Go and call people from the Yikong Courtyard."
"Alright." The child wiped his face vigorously and soon, the image of a handsome boy was revealed.
Chen Mu Mu fell to the ground from the impact, and a wave of pain gushed through his body. She squinted at the complacent look on the women and children, and pinched the palm of her hand.
She had grown up and fought in the shopping mall. She was famous for her ferocity. How could she be humiliated like this by someone one day?
No, her principle was never to live on, or to become weak and powerless!
If one had no dignity to live, it would be better to risk it all and die.
With a calm heart, he hurriedly climbed up from the ground when the woman wasn't paying attention and picked up the wooden stick that the woman put down when she was picking up the money bag. The child caught sight of her from the corner of his eye and hurriedly shouted, "Mother, she's about to run away."
Chen Mu Mu Mu moved even faster, and before the child could even respond, he was grabbed by Chen Mu Mu and thrown out.
The warning from the child alarmed the woman as she hurriedly turned her head around. However, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu didn't give her the chance to grab him. She quickly struck twice, knocking the woman to the ground. The woman screamed and scolded, "You little slut!"
If I had known this would happen, I would have beat you to death! "
Chen Mu Mu raised his foot and stepped on her chest. Looking at the blood on his hands that had yet to dry up, he smirked, "I say, aunt, you really don't know what's going on. You dare to clamor under such circumstances, who do you think is going to die faster?"
"Despicable!"
"Human! If you dare hit me, I will make it so that you won't be able to stay in this town!"
"You also said that I'm not a local. If I can't stay, I won't be able to." Chen Mu Mu sneered as he raised his hand to slap her ten times, "I hate being threatened and held back by others the most in my life. Not only did you and your son steal my things, you even dared to beat me up and sell me. You've eaten my heart of a leopard's guts, haven't you!"
The woman cried out in pain and wanted to curse, but Chen Mu kept slapping her, not letting her speak the words she wanted to say.
The child got up from the ground and came over to punch and kick her. "Don't hit my mother, I'll beat you to death!"
Chen Mu grabbed his short legs and dragged him over, then pulled him down. He raised his hands and slapped him hard on the butt.
"I hate you devilish kids the most. You guys don't study well and do all the petty stuff. Do you think that just because you're young you can be so lawless?" I'm sorry, but I'm not a good person, and I'm not your parents.
How powerful could a five or six-year-old child be to hit her? If it was an ordinary devilish brat, she might have just let him off the hook. However, this child was a cruel and merciless person; she could not tolerate this!
"Don't hit my child, don't hit my child." The woman struggled over, holding the child in her arms, with her head full of messy hair and her red and swollen face, "The one who hit you is me, if you want to vent your anger then hit me, don't hit my child!"
"You think I don't want to hit you?" Chen Mu Mu Mu fiercely tugged at her long hair, "Woman, it's fine if you can be vicious yourself, but if I don't beat you guys to death today, you'll be beaten to death one day as well!"
Holding the wooden stick, she looked down upon the mother and son as they hugged each other, tears streaming down their faces. For some reason, her heart felt so stifled.
"Mu Mu." In the midst of their entanglement, someone walked out of the alleyway.
Chen Mu Mu turned his head and saw the rare anxious expression on Lu Jinfeng's old-fashioned face, and he sighed, "I'm here."
"How did you get injured?" When she turned her head, Lu Jinfeng saw the bloodstains on the back of her head. He quickly walked over and grabbed her wrist and pulled her body over.
