Chapter 104 A Short Pain Is Worse than a Long One

The thousands of people hiding in Sanchazi Town were originally thinking about fighting back to Shekou Mountain.

But they didn't expect to be bombarded and smashed by Ergouzi from the sky, which scared them to death.

The proportion of people who were directly killed by stones was not particularly large.

After all, Ergouzi was only one person, and the chance of hitting his head by randomly throwing stones from the sky was not that high.

But this momentum was too scary. Seeing the house collapsed and the head smashed.

It made everyone lose the thought of resistance.

And even if they wanted to resist, they didn't have the ability to hit the big goose in the sky.

So these thousands of people, including the immortal cultivators, could only run away and flee from Sanchazi Town.

When leaving the town, they were inevitably intercepted and killed.

"Brother Ji, help me keep an eye on it. I'll go into the town to see if I can catch a few people alive."

"Well, go."

Ji Cang nodded casually.

Ergouzi walked into the familiar Sanchazi Town in the past. It was now in chaos and houses collapsed.

Many people saw Er Gouzi's figure, as if they saw the plague god, and they were afraid to avoid him.

For those ordinary people, Er Gouzi had no intention of chasing them, it was not worth his energy.

He used the Qi-Zhan technique to look over the way. If he met someone with cultivation, he would not be polite.

Whether it was the cultists or the people from Shexi Village, they would not let them go.

At this moment, he caught a small rebel leader who was practicing Qi at the second level and stepped on him.

"Master Zhang, I am Wang Bald from the next village. We are all from the same village. Can you let me go?"

For this iconic bald head, few people in the surrounding villages did not know him.

This guy stole Li Longzi's wife in the past. Later, the incident happened and Li Longzi's wife was put into a pig cage.

The surrounding villagers all went to watch the event, and this guy became famous.

"Where is Zhang Youxin? Where is he?"

"Wang Xin... Zhang Youxin, this bastard, has occupied the yard of the township chief."

Wang Tuzi betrayed Zhang Youxin without hesitation, hoping to win the favor of Er Gouzi.

A man who knows the times is a hero. One cannot hang himself on a tree. One must change jobs in time.

However, after Wang Tuzi finished speaking, Er Gouzi stepped hard and broke his sternum with a click.

Er Gouzi didn't have a good impression of this man. He had hooked up with women from several villages around him, and he was famous for it.

After stepping on Wang Tuzi to death, he walked towards the township chief's house.

The township chief was a wealthy man in Sanchazi Town. He had passed the examination for a scholar. Last time, Huang Laocai accompanied Er Gouzi to handle the household registration list and went to the township chief to ask for help.

The township chief's family had long disappeared. The house collapsed, and the smooth ground painted with tung oil was now covered with blood.

Er Gouzi was still outside the door when he heard a pig-killing sound howling.

This voice was very familiar to Er Gouzi, who had heard it since childhood and it was his nightmare.

A few days ago, he was defeated by this pig-killing sound.

Unfortunately, Xiao Ezi's life and death are unknown now, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

In a collapsed house, the aunt's fat body was lying on the ground in pain.

Her lower body was crushed by the collapsed beams and bricks.

Er Gouzi looked into her body with his spiritual sense and found that her lower body was smashed and her legs were broken.

Even if she was rescued from the ruins and treated by a famous doctor, she could only save half of her life at most, and her legs would be completely useless.

When the aunt saw Er Gouzi coming in, she begged.

"My good nephew, please save your aunt... Ouch... It hurts so much..."

"For the sake of me raising you for 10 years..."

If she didn't mention these 10 years, Er Gouzi would be relatively calm.

Every time she mentioned these 10 years, it was like adding fuel to the fire for Er Gouzi.

"Ouch...it hurts so much...good nephew, help me...Ouch..."

"I am your aunt...Ouch...we are a family...Ouch...broken bones are still connected...Ouch..."

"You can't just stand by and watch her die..."

Er Gouzi stood in the room, his hands folded in front of his chest, watching his aunt wailing on the ground, without any intention of going forward to save her.

He didn't say anything, just watched quietly.

"Good nephew...save me..."

"Are you still blaming me for beating you before...Ouch..."

"Alas...you don't understand, beating is love and scolding is love, this is all for your own good...Ouch..."

"If it was someone else's child, I wouldn't beat him..."

"Without your aunt's teaching for so many years, you wouldn't have such a big future today..."

Finding that Er Gouzi was indifferent, the aunt began to talk about feelings with him.

"I'm doing this for your own good, why don't you understand my painstaking efforts...Ouch..."

If Er Gouzi heard his aunt say this when he was thirteen or fourteen years old, he might really believe it, and he might even be deeply moved.

Now, he wouldn't believe a word.

"Ouch..."

"It hurts so much..."

"Good nephew, save me..."

"As long as you save me, I will agree to anything you want."

Er Gouzi finally walked to her side and squatted down, and a hint of joy appeared on her aunt's face.

"I ask you, did you kill Da Gouzi?"

Upon hearing this, the aunt showed a look of astonishment on her face, but soon recovered.

"How is it possible? You are all my nephews, and I treat you all like my own children."

"You lost your parents when you were so young. Your uncle and I were so sad. How could we possibly kill him?"

"Alas! This child has such a miserable life!"

"Ouch... It hurts so much..."

"Good nephew, save me first, and we'll tell you the rest later."

"Hmph... Don't pretend. You told me about my parents and killed them. I already know."

Er Gouzi sneered and looked at the shrew who was struggling in pain and still lying with disgust.

When the aunt heard what Er Gouzi said, her face changed drastically.

"You already know, why are you asking?"

"Your father got the treasure and was reluctant to share it with your eldest brother. He wanted to hide it and make a fortune."

"A person like your father who is so unkind and unjust and has a ruthless heart deserves to die."

The aunt knew that it was useless to beg anymore, and she revealed her true face of being sarcastic.

"Your brother, who is a few years older than you, knows something he shouldn't know, and dares to yell for revenge in front of us."

"He begs for food under my hand, and he still wants revenge..."

"That night, Youliang and I held down his hands and feet, and your uncle pried open his mouth and poured a bowl of poison into him. He died soon after."

"This dead guy is very strong at a young age. I almost couldn't hold him down, and I scratched my arm."

"You are a thief. You work honestly every day, accept everything, and never complain.

I thought I would keep you as a servant, so I let you live until now, but I didn't expect you to have evil intentions."

When the aunt said this, she felt a strong regret in her heart.

If I had known earlier, I would have killed this little ghost, and I shouldn't have taken this little advantage.

Er Gouzi squatted beside the aunt, as if he saw the desperate struggle of the big dog before his death.

But he was sleeping soundly at that time.

Er Gouzi stood up and stepped on the aunt's fingers.

There was a sound of "crackling, crackling..." bones breaking under his feet.

"Ahhh..."

"It hurts so much..."

"You bastard..."

"If you have the guts, just kill me with one knife..."

"Ahhh..."

Gouzi ignored her painful wails, but went around to the side and crushed the fingers of her other hand.

"I won't kill you."

"I want to live a life worse than death..."

Thinking of the despair and helplessness of Da Gou before his death, it felt that killing her with one knife would be too easy for her.

In the current state of the aunt, letting her continue to live would be a more painful thing.

At this moment, a figure walked outside the door.

When the man walked to the door and saw Er Gouzi, he turned around and ran away.

Er Gouzi didn't see the man's appearance clearly, but he could feel that he had at least the fourth or fifth level of Qi training.

He immediately left the aunt and chased outside the house.

As for the shrew in the ruins, let her continue to suffer here.

After Er Gouzi chased her out, a long time later, a gray figure crawled out from the ruins of the next room.

Looking at his face, it turned out to be Zhang Youxin.

He had used a breath-retaining talisman on himself before, completely covering up his own breath, so he escaped.

Zhang Youxin came to the place where his mother was pressed by the ruins.

"Mom!"

"Son, you are so glad you are not dead!"

"Hurry up and save me."

"Ouch, it hurts so much."

When the aunt saw Zhang Youxin appear, the light of hope rekindled on her face.

Her own son is here, and this time she is finally saved.

"Mom, keep your voice down, Er Gouzi will be back later."

Zhang Youxin looked at his mother under the ruins and fell into deep thought.

It would take a long time to move so many ruins one by one, and now is the critical moment to escape, time is life.

"Mom, please be quiet and listen to me."

"Son, whatever ideas you have, I will listen to you."

This son has been studying since he was young, has the most ideas, and is smarter and more lovable than the eldest son.

"Mom, my eldest brother hasn't come back for so many days, he may be dead."

"My son..."

"Shh! Don't cry! If we alarm others, we will all die."

Zhang Youxin covered his mother's mouth and let go after a while.

Tears flowed from the corners of his mother's eyes, and she nodded with sobs.

"But mother, you are injured like this now. If I take you with me, I can't escape."

"Mom, do you understand what I mean?"

Zhang Youxin knelt down in front of his mother when he said this, and two lines of tears slid down from the corners of his eyes.

"Son, do you mean you won't save me?"

"But I don't want to die!"

"I'm afraid of death. I haven't lived enough."

She didn't expect that after waiting for her own son, she couldn't save herself.

This made her more desperate than Ergouzi killing her with a knife.

"But mother, we can't escape with you. We will both die, and no one will survive."

"Mother... I am the only child in our family now. I am the only hope of the whole family. I can't die yet. I want to live."

Zhang Youxin kowtowed to his mother again. He wanted to escape from here. Taking his mother with him would only be a burden.

"Mother, I can't bear you lying in pain like this. It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one."

Zhang Youxin said this and drew a dagger from his waist.

"Mother, I will help you end your pain. Don't blame me."

"Son, I'm scared!"

When facing death, no matter how fierce a person is, he is shrouded in fear at this moment.

She didn't want to die, she was afraid.

"Mom, it's better to suffer a short pain than a long one, it will be better in a moment."

Zhang Youxin said, wiped his nose, and with trembling hands, he thrust the dagger forward and cut his mother's neck.

The bright red blood spurted out, staining his sword and his hands red...

After a while, Zhang Youxin knelt in front of his mother, kowtowed three times, and pulled a few pieces of ruins to cover his mother's body.

He rolled in the dust of the ruins for a few times, pretending to be a panicked soldier, and fled out of the town.
