Gu Qingyao certainly would not let him off so easily, so she quickly chased after him. Zhang Jianguo was so frightened he dared not look back. He ran frantically onwards. Gu Qingyao chased after him with her cell phone. When Zhang Jianguo sensed that the terrifying sounds were following him, he was frightened out of his wits and screamed non-stop!

“Save me! Ghosts…”

He screamed so shrilly that he grew hoa.r.s.e!

Gu Qingyao held back her laughter. Then she took the sack and cast it over him from behind, then hit him viciously with the stick. This time, he was screaming not just from the pain, but from infinite terror!

He knelt with a plop and started kowtowing in all directions. “Wu wu wu, Lord, Ancestor, please have mercy on me. I haven't done anything bad! Wu wu wu…”

As he sobbed, he wet himself in terror. He collapsed on the ground, unable to even kneel properly.

Gu Qingyao disdainfully distanced herself. She did not intend to continue thras.h.i.+ng him. She simply knocked him unconscious, broke one of his legs, picked up the sack, checked the area, then hurried home.

Although she was slightly bolder after traveling far and wide with Mo Beihan in her previous life, the terrifying music she had heard so late at night had also made her scalp p.r.i.c.kle!

Gu Qingyao swiftly ran home and buried her entire body under her blankets!

The next morning, Zhang Xiaohui got up and brought Gu Ruoqing to the city to look for w.a.n.g Guozhu. They were hungry after not having had dinner the night before.

Also, after returning to stay the night, they felt that the Gu house was too close to the cowshed and the stench was too strong. It was better in town.

So mother and daughter left first thing in the morning.

Gu Qingyao did not care. She was waiting for news from the Zhang family!

Sure enough, just after her grandparents returned for breakfast, Zhang Jianguo's wife, w.a.n.g Honghua and Old Madam Zhang's wailing and shouting filled the brigade.

The shrill wails were resounding. Everyone in the brigade got a fright and they ran out to see what was going on.

The Gu family, which was the nearest, heard everything.

Gu Conghua frowned and said, “This… who is crying so loudly? What's going on?”

Wen Ruyu also heard it and hurried to the courtyard entrance to take a look.

Gu Qingyao and Gu Conghua followed. They stood halfway up the mountain and looked down. They could see the crowd from the brigade below moving towards the Zhang house. They could clearly hear wild shrieks and howls.

“Seems like the Zhang family. The voices sound like that of Grandmother and Eldest Aunt,” said Gu Qingyao.

When she said that, Gu Conghua and Wen Ruyu also recognized the voices.

After a while, the three of them saw people running upwards. They had probably seen the entire family standing at the doorway, so they shouted from afar, “Gu Conghua, Gu Conghua, Zhang Jianguo has been beaten up. Hurry and come take a look. His leg has been broken. Hurry…”

Gu Conghua and Wen Ruyu were shocked to hear that!

“Beaten up? He even broke his leg? This… who could be so bold?” Wen Ruyu could scarcely believe her ears.

Zhang Jianguo was a gangster. It was pretty good if he did not beat others up, but now someone had beaten him up and even broken his leg?

The men below were still shouting. “Hurry! Zhang Jianguo has been beaten up. Hurry…”

Gu Conghua had no time for being surprised. He was a doctor and now that Gu Yunshen was away, the entire brigade depended on him to treat illnesses and save lives!

He hurried back for his medical kit. The two old people and Gu Qingyao went over to the Zhang house to take a look.

When they arrived, they heard a terrible ruckus in the Zhang house, which was crowded with people. In these times, there was no television, so people took a deep interest in every little event.

The brigade leader, w.a.n.g Mingtao, was also there. His head ached from Old Madam Zhang and w.a.n.g Honghua's screaming. When he saw Gu Conghua, he hurriedly stepped aside to allow Gu Conghua to take a look.

“Hurry and examine him. He seems badly injured!”
