  A gust of breeze blew by, and Zhou Side felt chills on his spine and trembling with fear. He felt the slightest chill from the wind on his crotch, felt the fear of Zhou Baopu in his heart, and felt the unsightly ending that Zhou Baopu imagined for him. Zhou Side finally He was so panicked that he no longer dared to underestimate Zhou Baopu's methods.

  If that's the case, as a man, what's the point of living? It's better to crash to death.

  Life is worse than death, nothing better than this.

  With this thought in his mind, Zhou Side began to become more humble, and began to re-evaluate Zhou Baopu.

  "One last question for you. If you answer me honestly, you can leave." "

  Okay, you ask. No matter what you ask me, I will tell you."

  Zhou Side just thought about how to leave this devil quickly. , how can I care about anything else.

  "Who asked you to come?"

  "It was Zhou Changqing who asked me to come. He said that he saw that I had already fallen in love with your mother, and then he said that you are a martial arts waste with no ability. I can easily succeed. And he said that when things are done, he will give me a generous reward and will take care of me in the future."

  Zhou Side recruited Zhou Changqing without any hesitation.

  "You can go."

  Zhou Baopu's voice did not change at all, watching Zhou Side limping towards the river bank.

  "Wait a minute."

  Zhou Side stopped politely.

  "If someone asks you what happened to your hand, what would you say?" "

  I'll just say it was bitten off by a wolf in the mountains."

  "Okay, let's go."

  Zhou Baopu looked at Zhou Side who was gradually disappearing and smelled the air The smell of blood had become lighter, and his calm face finally turned ferocious at this moment.

  After briefly dealing with the traces, he picked up Zhou Side's severed hand and threw it into the river. Then he walked onto the bridge, leaned against the bridge, and looked at the sky in the night sky.

  Zhou Baopu would not hurt anyone easily because he did not think he was a cruel person, but when the matter involved Wang Caifeng, Zhou Baopu could not tolerate being angry.

  Zhou Side limped and walked slowly on a road in Zhouzhuang, looking extremely worried.

  After seeing Zhou Baopu's cruelty, he regretted it deeply in his heart, but until now, he could only bear it silently.

  "Side, what's wrong with you?"

  While he was deep in thought, Zhou Side suddenly heard someone calling him.

  He looked stunned, but Zhou Side reacted immediately and said immediately: "Didn't I go to hunt wolves? Instead, my right hand was bitten off." "

  Brother Sixue, why aren't you asleep yet?"

  Zhou Sixue looked at the village chief. In the direction of home, he said: "Isn't this the kid who came back from the long run? The village chief hosted some banquets. I went to have a drink before the banquet ended." "So that's it, then I'll go back first. Hurry up and let me go.

  " Doctor Yao, please take a look, don't let me have any hidden diseases."

  At this moment, Zhou Sixue suddenly shook his empty left sleeve, secretly leaned into Zhou Side's ear and said, "Don't lie to your brother, you know "How did I lose my left arm?"

  "It was also bitten by a wolf. Didn't you tell me that the year before last?"

  Zhou Side didn't know what Zhou Sixue meant. Why did the old thing come up again? Zhou Sixue's arm was bitten by a wolf the year before last. Yes, but it has been an after-dinner conversation starter for people in Zhouzhuang for a long time.

  "I lied to you. Just like now, aren't you lying to me? Your hand, I see, was not bitten off by a wolf at all." Zhou Side looked stunned, and thought of some possibility in his mind

  . But he was overturned immediately.

  The year before last, that boy was only thirteen. No matter how cruel he was, he probably wouldn't be able to do something like that.

  "Did that boy Zhou Baopu chop off your hand with a sickle?"

  Zhou Sixue asked, but he didn't notice that Zhou Side's expression had changed.

  "Brother Sixue, you are drunk. Go home quickly. I won't disturb you anymore. I have to go to Dr. Yao's place first." Zhou Sixue covered

  Zhou Sixue's mouth, and Zhou Sixue pulled Zhou Sixue to the roadside. He picked up a brick casually and pointed it at Zhou Sixue's head. It was a dull brick and knocked Zhou Sixue unconscious.

  Zhouzhuang is adjacent to Xuangui Mountain. In addition to farming, most of the villagers make a living by hunting. It is not uncommon to be bitten by wolves.

  But Zhou Sixue knew that Zhou Side was the kind of person who was ignorant and idle. How could he hunt wolves in the middle of the night?

  Thinking back to it, the year before last, he had a whim and wanted to explore the widow Wang Caifeng's house at night, but he never expected to be discovered by Zhou Baopu.

  Zhou Sixue will never forget it in his life. What kind of night it was. After cutting off one of his left hands, Zhou Sixue wanted to teach Zhou Baopu a lesson in return because he was an elder and felt that he was strong. But he never thought that Zhou Baopu would cut off his left arm as well.

  Whenever he thought of that night, Zhou Sixue felt his scalp numb and his heart pounding. Now when he saw Zhou Side suffering a similar fate, and then thinking about Zhou Side's character, he immediately thought of what happened.

  However, Zhou Sixue did not expect that in order to prevent his scandal from being exposed, Zhou Side turned his head and made him dizzy. After he sobered up, he did not remember what happened at all.

  "Where have you been?"

  Zhou Baopu was shocked, but he reacted immediately, opened the courtyard door, looked at Wang Caifeng standing in the center of the courtyard, and walked over.

  With a sullen face and without saying a word, he slowly walked into the yard, stopped opposite Wang Caifeng, and lowered his head at the same time.

  "I just asked you again, where have you been? It's so late and you're not sleeping. What did you do?"

  Wang Caifeng didn't suppress her voice on purpose, scolding Zhou Baopu in front of her, without any mercy.

  "I just couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk."

  Zhou Baopu lied, nervously playing with the corners of his waist with his hands.

  "You're lying. You haven't been able to lie since you were a child. When you lie, you like to pull off your clothes. If you can, just look at me and tell me that you just went out and wandered around because you couldn't sleep!" "Mom, can't you stop asking

  ? ?"

  "Don't ask, I know it too. Do you think there will be another person with a broken arm and missing legs in Zhouzhuang tomorrow?"

  Zhou Baopu was shocked. He didn't expect that Wang Caifeng had already guessed something.

  "Mom, how did you know?"

  "How did I know? I didn't even look. Whose son are you? Wait until tomorrow to find out. If what you did went too far, don't blame me for being rude to you. !"

  "Go back to sleep!"

  Wang Caifeng didn't give Zhou Baopu any chance to refute, turned around and went back to the house, closed the door with a bang, and left Zhou Baopu alone in the courtyard.

  "Fortunately, it didn't hurt anyone deeply this time."

  Zhou Baopu looked at the stars in the sky and thought that he had just chopped off the opponent's left hand, so it shouldn't be that serious.

  "Why can't I hide it from my mother every time I do this kind of thing?"

  Thinking of this, Zhou Baopu slowly opened the door of the hut, only to find that there was already a familiar visitor in his hut, and he couldn't help but shake his head. He shook his head, walked in helplessly, and sat down in front of the table.
