Chapter 40: The Fearsome Man (2)

  A tall and majestic man immediately turned around and chased out, grabbing the girl's small hand, pulling her up, the girl's whole body was lifted by him, he slapped the girl's buttocks with his hands while scolding:

  "Little rabbit! You dare to run!"

  At this time, another woman ran out of the house, about 17 or 18 years old, knelt down and grabbed the man's hand, crying and saying:

  "Dad! Stop hitting my sister! She's still little, you'll end up killing her!"

  Xiao Yan was startled, her heart racing with fear. The woman's appearance was identical to her own, and also identical to "her". Xiao Yan turned her head to look at the woman in white dress, with black hair hanging down, who was curled up watching the scene with a sobbing face. Perhaps this woman in white dress and black hair was the soul of the tear-stained woman after she died? Xiao Yan thought so, feeling not only fear but also a thread of pity towards "her", although fear was still dominant.

  "Slap!" A loud noise was heard, and the man raised his hand to slap the woman. The woman's pale face instantly swelled up, and she fell to the side after being slapped.

  "Mind your own business, old man! Get out of here!" The man yelled at the woman again and then increased his violent beating on the short-haired girl.

  "Sister! Sister! Waaahhh... " The short-haired girl sobbed uncontrollably, repeatedly calling out to her sister in a desolate tone.

  Listening to the girl's cries, the man heavily hit her again and again. The woman gritted her teeth and crawled forward once more, grabbing the man's hand and snatching the girl from him, holding her in her arms. She then closed her eyes, waiting for the man's impending fury and violent beating!

  "You little cheap thing! Dare to go against me? I must teach you a lesson today!" The man was indeed furious, and after saying that, he kicked and stomped on the woman below him. Feeling unsatisfied, he picked up his belt and whipped her repeatedly with heavy blows.

  The woman bit her teeth and didn't cry out, her back was already numb with pain, but she still endured the beating, protecting the thin little girl in her arms.

  The girl in her arms continued to cry and shout, as if she had been frightened, yet also seemed worried about her sister.

  After a while, the man was exhausted from beating her and answered a phone call before hastily leaving the house. Before he left, he gave the woman a heavy kick.

  It wasn't until the large gate downstairs was slammed shut with great force that the woman and the short-haired girl felt relieved.

  "Sister...... Waaah...... Sister......" The short-haired girl hugged the woman and wailed loudly, as if she had just awakened from a terrible nightmare.

  "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Sister will get some medicine to apply to your wound." The woman comforted the girl, went into the house to fetch the medicine, and carefully helped the girl wipe her wounds, as if she had already forgotten that her own body was also covered in gruesome injuries.

  "Waaah... sister... it hurts so much..." The girl cried out in pain, rubbing her already swollen eyes with both hands.

  The woman listened and lightened her movements, more carefully wiping the eye-catching wounds on the girl's tender skin.

  "Alright, alright, don't be afraid, just sleep and you'll be fine, let's go, it's time for bed." The woman patiently helped the girl treat her wound, forcing a smile with her dry, cracked lips as she smoothed the girl's hair with her hand, pulling her into the room and closing the door.

  The world seemed to have quieted down again, with only the sound of her mournful cry echoing at the end of the stairs, filling the narrow space with an eerie atmosphere.

  Xiao Yan suddenly felt that the wooden ladder under her feet was shaking violently, making it impossible for her to stand still, and her body was swaying left and right with the movement of the ladder.

  "Boom!" With a loud noise, Xiaoyan felt the ground beneath her feet give way, and the entire wooden ladder collapsed in an instant. The crying sound beside her ear had stopped.
