Chapter 5 Throw him into the well

  The abdomen is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body, and being slammed four times by this rough-browed man made me feel an indescribable pain that was like a tidal wave crashing inside my five organs and six entrails. I felt a surge of stomach acid rush up to my throat, and with a "whoosh", I vomited it all out.

  "Go on, say another sentence and see?"

  The man with thick eyebrows kicked me so hard that my whole body was convulsing, I felt like my own body had been paralyzed, and I didn't have any strength left. However, the man with thick eyebrows still wouldn't give up, he threw me to the ground and kicked me ruthlessly.

  "Speak up! Say it again! How can you suddenly become so cautious with your words?"

  "Just say it."

  I feel like every bone in my body is about to break, there's not a single piece of flesh that doesn't hurt, it's like I'm a balloon being squeezed by someone with all my might, my internal organs are being squeezed so hard they're almost going to explode.

  But with a belly full of anger and resentment, I still managed to squeeze out words from between my teeth, coldly laughing, with something in my mouth that I didn't know was acid or blood.

  "Zhang Guohua raised a Pekingese dog, and that Pekingese dog had eyebrows as thick as a shovel..."

  "Ah!!" As soon as I let out this cold laugh, the thick-eyebrowed man suddenly chopped down on my lower back with a loud "ka", and instantly I felt a sharp pain in my back, numbing a large area. This thick-eyebrowed man must have been trained, his strike landed precisely on the key point just above my coccyx, also an important connection point of the spine. If he had used more force, it would have been enough to paralyze half of my body.

  The pain on my body was really making me tremble involuntarily, but at this time my mouth was stuck to the ground. I also realized that the ground was a handful of relatively loose mud, and because I was knocked to the ground, my hands were temporarily not tied up.

  It was just that moment, I suddenly grabbed a handful of soft yellow soil from the ground, and then endured the severe pain on my body to get up, and suddenly threw it at the cold and angry eyes of the thick eyebrowed man behind me!

  "Ah, you damn idiot, I'm going to kill you right now and make it quick!"

  A handful of mud splattered onto the coarse eyebrow man's face, instantly causing him to retreat two steps in pain and cover his eyes, as if sand had entered his eyes.

  This is the escape plan that I came up with in a moment of desperation. My idea was to take advantage of the two seconds when the man with the thick eyebrows covered his face after I threw sand on him, and make a run for it from beside him, jump into their car as quickly as possible and drive away from this place! Because I clearly remembered that they left the car keys in the car when they got out! Although I don't have a driver's license, I still know how to operate the basic steering wheel, brakes, and accelerator, which is common sense.

  Unfortunately, my plan was off by a bit. I had thought that the mud would cause the rough-browed man to cover his face and retreat, but instead he did the opposite. In a fit of rage, he charged forward and grabbed my hair, kicking me violently in the abdomen!

  Pain.

  It really hurts.

  I feel like my vision is flickering between black and white, the whole world is becoming dim. Those who have never been severely beaten by others will probably never understand that kind of pain to the extreme, the feeling of being completely powerless.

  That burly man kicked me three times with his knee, and I immediately went limp and knelt down. My height is not short, but the other party has been trained, even if I have a height advantage, it's useless.

  "You think you're very clever, you think you're young and reckless, right?"

  The man with thick eyebrows spat at me, and the disgusting dark green phlegm landed squarely on my face, sliding down my cheek to my chin before dripping slowly.

  The man with thick eyebrows took a stick handed over by someone beside him and walked up to the beast.

  "You little scoundrel, if you say you regret it now, I'll tell you that sometimes things can't be taken back just by saying sorry. You must be given a truly unforgettable punishment."

  "Grab hold of this dog's legs!" The moment the rough-browed man gave the order, I felt my two legs being pulled out from under me with great force, and there was no way for me to escape.

  I feel my legs trembling nonstop, not because of fear, but because of the intense pain and anger. My anger is directed at the thick-eyebrowed man, at the gold-rimmed glasses man and his mongrel sons, but even more so, it's directed at myself!

  I hate myself for being incompetent, I hate myself for being so weak and powerless. Even when the people I love most are defiled and killed, I am unable to save them. I hate that I'm just a small person living at the bottom of society, a minor character who can only swallow my anger and remain silent even when bullied and oppressed!

  Why am I so incompetent, why is this society destined to be the strong bullying the weak? Is the only value of the existence of the weak being bullied and deprived by the strong? Is the only way for the weak to exist to fawn and flatter under the strong's tyranny?

  If I had a government background or was a rich second-generation, who would dare to mess with me today?

  I don't accept it! I really don't accept it!

  Why is there such a huge gap between people, why are many things predetermined and unchangeable from the moment of birth? Why can some people naturally enjoy others' admiration, bully others, and treat human life as worthless?!

  The man with thick eyebrows grabbed my hair, stared at me coldly, then grasped the club in his right hand, raised it high and smashed it down hard on my head!

  Bang!

  I feel like my skull is about to shatter.

  One stick after another, I felt the sticks falling on me like a stormy rain, the sound of the wooden sticks hitting my body was ringing everywhere, the unbearable pain made my nerves twitch, and I almost begged for mercy.

  I was beaten heavily, but in my mind, I silently counted the number of times the man with thick eyebrows hit me - forty-two! I remembered every single one. I vowed that if there came a day when I could turn things around, I would absolutely get back at him tenfold, a hundredfold!

  When the forty-second stick of the thick eyebrowed man landed on my neck, my line of sight was really a blur, and I couldn't see anything clearly. The whole world seemed to be spinning around me, with the old trees, the ground, and people's shadows all appearing as if they were inverted and overlapping, hazy and unclear.

  But the severe pain on my body made me unable to faint, I could only lie on the ground and convulse. My mind was very clear, but my body was completely numb.

  Lying on the ground, my vision was a blur, and I could only listen to the murmurs of the people around me with my ears.

  "Lao Zhuang, Qiang Ge, what do you think we should do?"

  "Zhang Guohua said he wants to teach this dog a lesson. It's best if no one finds out that we've taken care of him." This sounds like the voice of the thick-eyebrowed man.

  "Does anyone on the road know us?" a man asked.

  "There shouldn't be. No one knows that this beast was brought here by us." The thick-eyebrowed man said in a cold and calm voice, and upon hearing this voice, I realized that the situation wasn't good. They probably wanted to lay hands on me! I struggled desperately to twist my body and try to escape, but because my whole body had gone numb, and the severe pain made it impossible for me to move."

  At that moment, I deeply realized that I was doomed.

  I'm done for.

  No surprises, no miracles.

  Completely finished.

  "There's a well over there, Brother Qiang said, or else... throw it inside?" Another man's voice rang out.

  This time, I felt that the rough eyebrow man's voice paused for almost three seconds before saying:

  "See if there's water."

  Then I heard footsteps, and about ten seconds later, the man who suggested throwing me into the well came running back and said:

  "It seems a bit deep, I threw a stone and it took a long time to hear the sound, probably tens of meters deep, if someone is thrown in, they probably can't come up. There are no residents around here, and the wellhead is all covered with spider webs, probably nobody has been here for years. Old Zhang, what do you think... how about this well? Even if someone finds it, it'll be at least a month later." The man was a bit hesitant, but the rough-browed man made up his mind quickly:

  "Then throw it into the well."
