Chapter 30

It was naturally Chu Huan who suddenly rushed out.

Chu Huan was talking with his mother at home, and as Su Niang did not return for a long time, he became wary and ran all the way to the village entrance by the river. From afar, he saw Feng Ergou bullying Su Niang.

Chu Huan was truly enraged to the extreme. Eight years of living away from home had already shaped his straightforward, decisive, and brave character. Seeing Feng Ergou bully his beloved, he did not hesitate for a moment and rushed over, mercilessly striking him.

At this moment, he had already grabbed Feng Ergou's hair and dragged him to the side of a big tree. He pulled Feng Ergou up by the hair, holding one hand on his hair and the other on the back of his head, and slammed Feng Ergou's head against the tree. With a "bang," Feng Ergou's head, not made of copper or iron, collided with the rough bark, causing his forehead to split open and blood to flow out.

Chu Huan did not stop. He pressed Feng Ergou's head against the tree and slammed it repeatedly, over ten times. Feng Ergou's face was already deformed, covered in blood.

At this moment, Su Niang had already gotten up and, seeing Chu Huan beating Feng Ergou, immediately shouted, "Erlang, beat this beast to death, beat him to death...!"

Feng Ergou was already dizzy and disoriented from the beating. He wanted to beg for mercy, but his front teeth had been knocked out, and his mind was blank, unable to speak.

Chu Huan hit him a few more times, and Feng Ergou's eyes had already turned white. Although Su Niang was angry, she was a rational woman. She knew that if the beating continued, Feng Ergou would surely be beaten to death.

Killing someone would mean paying with one's life. Su Niang had initially called for Chu Huan to beat Feng Ergou to death out of anger, but now, seeing that Feng Ergou was about to be beaten to death, she was worried that Chu Huan would be involved in a murder case. She hurried over, grabbed Chu Huan's hand, and urgently said, "Erlang, stop, it will be a big deal if someone dies!"

Only then did Chu Huan stop. He pulled on Feng Ergou's disheveled hair, and Feng Ergou's body swayed and fell to the ground, his face covered in blood, making it impossible to recognize his features.

Chu Huan stood next to Feng Ergou. Before Feng Ergou could regain his senses, Chu Huan stepped on his chest. Feng Ergou's body jerked, his face contorted in pain, and he asked through the pain, "You... who are you?"

"Which foot did you use to kick?" Chu Huan asked coldly.

He had seen from afar that Feng Ergou had kicked Su Niang's wrist. Thinking of Su Niang's delicate hand enduring such a brutal kick, he was filled with rage.

In the past, he would not have hesitated to break Feng Ergou's neck.

But times had changed. Now he was in the village with his mother and Su Niang. If he got involved in a murder case, he would not be able to take care of his family. He wanted to make his mother and Su Niang live a good life as soon as possible. If he got into trouble, he would not be able to take care of them.

"Don't... don't beat me, I... I was wrong!" Feng Ergou, now too afraid to resist, groaned on the ground, "Grandpa, you... you let me off this time, how much silver do you want, I... I'll go get it for you...!"

"Left foot or right foot?" Chu Huan asked calmly.

Su Niang knew about Feng Ergou's background and pulled on Chu Huan's arm, urging, "Erlang, let's go!"

Chu Huan ignored her and continued to look at Feng Ergou coldly, "Quick, which foot? If you don't say, both feet will be punished!"

At this moment, the villagers had clearly received the news. The village head, Liu Tianfu, led three or four strong men and hurried over. Seeing Feng Ergou lying on the ground and Chu Huan stepping on his chest, he knew something serious had happened and quickened his pace. Liu Tianfu called out, "Erlang, don't act rashly, let's talk it out!"

He was truly worried that Chu Huan would get into trouble. Liu Tianfu knew very well about the forces behind Feng Ergou. He thought Chu Huan, having just returned, might not know Feng Ergou's background. If he offended Feng Ergou, the consequences would be endless. He rushed forward, grabbed Chu Huan's other arm, and repeatedly said, "Don't act rashly, go home, hurry!"

Seeing Feng Ergou lying on the ground, barely alive, with blood streaming from his face, Liu Tianfu knew that the enmity was deep. He secretly worried and wanted Chu Huan to leave first, then he would try to calm Feng Ergou down and resolve the matter.

However, when he tried to pull Chu Huan, Chu Huan's body was as solid as a rock, immovable. His cold eyes still stared at Feng Ergou, and his voice became even colder, "You won't say?"

Feng Ergou realized he had truly encountered a tough opponent. With a sob, he said, "Right... right foot... no, no, left... oh, grandpa, you... you let me off, I... I won't dare again!"

Without a word, Chu Huan looked around and saw a stone by the river, about the size of a human head. He walked over and picked up the large stone with one hand.

Liu Tianfu and the villagers' faces changed, and Su Niang's complexion also turned pale. They all rushed forward to stop him. Liu Tianfu pleaded, "Erlang, give your Uncle Liu some face, let it go this time...!"

Su Niang also said anxiously, "Erlang, we can't afford to offend him!"

Chu Huan looked at Su Niang, then at Liu Tianfu, and said calmly, "Uncle Liu, it's not that Erlang doesn't give you face. I've been away for so long and haven't taken good care of my family, making them suffer. Now that I'm back, even if the sky falls, I will protect them." He glanced coldly at Feng Ergou, who was trying to struggle but couldn't, and said with a cold smile, "Whoever bullies my mother and Su Niang, even if it's the Son of Heaven, I will make them remember it for the rest of their lives." He pushed Liu Tianfu aside and walked straight toward Feng Ergou.

Feng Ergou knew that a great calamity was coming. He struggled to run, crawling forward on the ground, and shouted, "Murder, murder, help...!" He only managed a few shouts before Chu Huan was already there, and with the large stone in his hand, he smashed it down on Feng Ergou's right ankle. Everyone clearly heard a "crack," and they all knew that Feng Ergou's right ankle bone had been broken, and his right leg was completely ruined.

Feng Ergou's cries suddenly stopped, and he fell silent, having fainted from the pain.

Liu Tianfu and the others stood there, stunned, unable to react.

In their hearts, Feng Ergou was like a demon, and no one in the village had dared to provoke him in recent years. They could not imagine that Feng Ergou would be beaten like this one day.

After a long while, Liu Tianfu finally came to his senses and urgently said, "Come, quickly... quickly take him to Doctor Xu... hurry, you're all standing there like dead people!"

The villagers finally came to their senses. Seeing Feng Ergou beaten so badly, they were all secretly relieved and felt a great sense of satisfaction. Hearing Liu Tianfu's instructions, although they were reluctant, they still went forward, lifted Feng Ergou, and carried him to Doctor Xu's house.

Liu Tianfu looked at Chu Huan, not knowing what to say. After a while, he sighed, "You, you're too young and impulsive, you've caused a big trouble...!" He shook his head and hurried back.

Chu Huan then turned around and saw Su Niang's pale face and disheveled clothes. Thinking of how she had been bullied by Feng Ergou, he felt a deep sense of pity. His previously cold expression softened, and he said gently, "Sister Su Niang, are you... are you okay?"

Su Niang looked at Chu Huan's face, sighed, and lowered her head to tidy her clothes. After straightening her clothes, she fixed her hair with a wooden hairpin. Without a word, she went to wash the clothes and then picked up the wooden basin. Chu Huan quickly took the basin from her, and Su Niang, without a word, turned and walked back to the village, letting her sleeves fall as she walked.

When they reached the front of their home, Su Niang suddenly stopped, turned, and took the basin from Chu Huan, whispering, "Don't tell Mother about this...!" She seemed to want to say more but ultimately said nothing, just went to hang the clothes.

Chu Huan had intended to go and cut more firewood, but thinking about the beating of Feng Ergou and the possibility of more trouble, he decided to put the two bundles of firewood by the stove first. Seeing his mother in Su Niang's room organizing the silk with embroidered flowers and birds, he did not disturb her. He went outside and sat on a stone by the wall, leaning against it and looking up at the sun.

Liu Family Village was not large, and Chu Huan breaking Feng Ergou's right leg was a huge event for the small village. It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the village.

Feng Ergou was a thorn in the side of Liu Family Village, and no one in the village had escaped his bullying. Hearing that Chu Huan had broken Feng Ergou's right leg, everyone was secretly delighted, but they dared not show it openly due to fear of Feng Ergou's power. However, many were secretly overjoyed.

Some people soon began to worry about Chu Huan.

The villagers had learned that Chu Huan, who had been missing for eight years, had suddenly returned. They were all surprised, and since Chu Huan's father and brother were known for their kindness, the villagers began to worry about Chu Huan, knowing that Feng Ergou would not let this go.

Some young men, hearing of Chu Huan's bravery, felt a deep admiration and came to see the hero. However, they were afraid of Feng Ergou's retaliation and did not dare to get too close, only watching Chu Huan from a distance, and some even gave him a thumbs-up.

Chu Huan leaned against the wall, and when Su Niang finished hanging the clothes and returned, she looked at him with a strange expression but said nothing and went inside.

After sitting for a while, Chu Huan suddenly heard footsteps. He opened his eyes, thinking it might be Feng Ergou's henchmen, but it turned out to be Hu Xiaoshuan, whose brother had died.

Chu Huan frowned, not knowing why Hu Xiaoshuan had come.

Hu Xiaoshuan stopped under a big tree in front of Chu Huan's house, saw Chu Huan leaning against the wall, and quickly came over. He knelt down a few steps away from Chu Huan and knocked his head on the ground several times. Surprised, Chu Huan saw Hu Xiaoshuan look up and say, "Brother Chu, you avenged my brother, I, Hu Xiaoshuan, will serve you like a slave to repay you!"

Chu Huan was taken aback, then helped Hu Xiaoshuan up and said, "No need for that. Go back home!"

Hu Xiaoshuan, tears streaming down his face, said, "I wanted to avenge my brother, but I didn't have the ability. Brother Chu, by breaking that beast's leg today, you have become my family's benefactor. I will listen to you and do whatever you ask!"

Chu Huan patted his shoulder and said, "Your brother's funeral is important. Go back home. If you need anything, just come to me!"

Hu Xiaoshuan, his voice choked with emotion, nodded and said, "Yes."

At that moment, a cold voice said, "You are Chu Erlang?"

The voice came suddenly, and Chu Huan looked up to see a man in black, strong and muscular, walking slowly from the tree. He took a few steps closer, and Chu Huan's lips curled into a cold smile.

He had seen this man before. He was one of Feng Ergou's henchmen. When Hu Xiaoshuan had caused a commotion at Feng Ergou's door, Feng Ergou had come out with two men: one was his advisor, Zhao Bao, and the other was this man.
