Chapter 100
“What’s going on? Who’s trying to kill someone?”
A group of people came out of the surrounding houses. One sturdy man grabbed the woman and frowned as he asked.
“Him!”
The woman pointed at Liu Ye.
The man took one look at Liu Ye’s skinny frame and immediately let out a disdainful laugh.
“You two really are getting more useless by the day. You can’t even handle a little brat like this? Watch me.”
“No, wait-”
The woman had only just opened her mouth when the man strode over.
“You little-”
He only got one word out before Liu Ye’s palm came swinging over.
A crisp smack rang out. The man spun twice on the spot, his eyes rolling back as his head wobbled a couple of times before he collapsed to the ground.
“Holy crap, he actually hit him! Everyone, get him!”
The man clearly had some prestige here. A short fellow immediately led seven or eight people in a charge.
Smack, smack, smack…
Liu Ye simply stood where he was, slapping left and right. Under those palms, not a single person could last one exchange. In the blink of an eye, they were all sprawled on the ground.
“Stop! Do you know what this is?!”
At that moment, a man aimed a gun at Liu Ye’s head and roared.
But in the next second, Liu Ye grabbed the barrel with one hand. With the slightest squeeze, the barrel bent.
The man: “…”
“Uh, you don’t know? That’s fine, I was just asking. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.”
Smack!
Liu Ye slapped him straight into the ground.
Over to the side, an old man grabbed the woman and asked anxiously, “Where on earth did you provoke this demon?!”
The woman hurriedly explained what had happened.
“So he’s sleepwalking? Then hurry up and wake him!” the old man said.
Someone quickly fetched a basin of water and dumped it over Liu Ye’s head.
“Mmm… refreshing!”
Liu Ye smiled as he walked over, then sent that person to the ground with one slap too.
Seeing that water was useless, the old man hurriedly said, “Make some noise! Wake him up!”
The group immediately started banging gongs and drums, and some even began singing.
“Oh, baby, I’m off to the village entrance to get my hair permed…”
Smack! Smack! Smack!…
The world fell silent. The one who had been singing even took two extra slaps.
“Why won’t he wake up?!” the old man broke down and shouted.
At that moment, the woman said cautiously, “Maybe… he took too many sleeping pills.”
“How many did you feed him?”
The woman held up one finger.
“One bottle? Are you insane?! That could kill a man!” the old man cried.
“No… one crate.”
The old man: “…”
Who the hell could wake up from that?!
With no other choice, the remaining people could only hide one by one to avoid being caught by Liu Ye.
His slaps were just too terrifying.
As for Liu Ye, he had a smile on his face.
“Hide… and… seek. Heh-heh. I love this game!”
Everyone: “…”
Tap. Tap. Tap.
Soft footsteps sounded. A woman covered her mouth and hid under the table in her own home, tears streaming from her eyes as she stared ahead in terror.
She saw two feet stop right in front of her. She didn’t even dare breathe, afraid the other party would discover her.
Fortunately, he only stayed for a moment before leaving.
But just as she let out a breath of relief, Liu Ye’s head suddenly appeared in front of her.
“Found… you…”
“Ahhh!”
Smack!
…
Early the next morning, Liu Ye got out of bed and stretched. It had been ages since he’d slept so well.
After washing up, he walked out of the room and saw the middle-aged couple sitting on the sofa.
“Uncle! Auntie!”
Liu Ye greeted them with a smile. With a loud thump, the two of them fell straight off the sofa.
Startled, Liu Ye hurried over to help them up. But the moment he got close, he nearly jumped out of his skin.
The couple’s faces were so swollen it looked like each of them had grown an extra head. Their cheeks were red and puffed up, terrifying to look at.
“Uncle, Auntie, what happened to you? How did you… how did you end up like this?”
The couple: “…”
They didn’t want to talk about it.
“Wait, Uncle, did you two have a fight? My god, you really went hard on each other. What was it over?”
The couple: “…”
You!
For one thing, they didn’t dare say that. For another, opening their mouths right now was genuinely difficult.
Liu Ye could tell they couldn’t speak, so he immediately went to the kitchen and brought them some ice.
“Look, Uncle, Auntie, I’m just saying. Like the old saying goes… right, a hundred years to build a boat, a thousand years to sleep together. It’s not easy for a husband and wife to be together. What can’t be talked out properly? Why resort to violence? And you beat each other up this badly.”
The couple: “…”
“All right, I won’t nag you anymore. Just think it over. How about this? Judging by the state you’re in, you probably can’t move around today, so I’ll make do with what you have and cook you a meal in your own kitchen.”
The couple nodded. Fine, one meal was one meal. At least when he was awake, he was still normal.
Just like that, half an hour later, Liu Ye came over carrying a pot of congee.
“You’re both like this, so let’s eat something light. It’ll be easier for you to swallow too.”
Liu Ye even brought them straws.
The couple really was starving. They had spent the entire night terrified out of their minds.
So the two of them picked up the straws and started drinking. The moment they did, both of them were shocked. It actually tasted pretty good! It was just… how should they put it? It gave them the feeling they were about to meet their great-grandmother… Huh? Great-grandmother?
No, wait, Great-Grandma, don’t come over yet!
The middle-aged man quickly took out a pen and paper and wrote down a question.
“What did you use to make this congee?”
“Bro, I can’t read!”
“What… did you… use… to make… the congee?”
“Just those mushrooms you had in the fridge. They were all different colors and looked pretty, so I put them all in. For flavor.”
Those mushrooms… Those mushrooms…
The couple’s eyes rolled back, and they both fainted onto the table.
Liu Ye saw that the two of them really were exhausted. They had fallen asleep right after eating.
So Liu Ye carried them to his own room. Since this was someone else’s house, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to enter the couple’s bedroom.
Then he tucked the couple in, pulled the blanket over them, and went out.
After he left, Liu Ye looked around and couldn’t help sighing. There really wasn’t anyone here. And this was supposed to be a tourist village? Not lively at all.
With that, Liu Ye headed up the mountain.
Not long after he left, a vehicle pulled up in front of the couple’s house.
A group of fully armed people got out and knocked on the door.
“No one’s home? Did they go out messing around again?”
They took out a key and opened the door directly.
“Sister Li! Brother Wang?”
They called out twice, but no one answered. They wondered if the couple had gone out.
It wasn’t as if that had never happened before. They went straight to the guest room.
The moment they entered, they saw two people lying there. Then they took another look at their faces. Good grief, how had they been beaten up this badly? The couple must have put up one hell of a fight.
They waited for a while. Seeing that the couple still hadn’t come back, they figured something must have come up, so they left a note for them. Then they tied up the two people on the bed and carried them away.
