Chapter 292 Everyone Lies Down
Zhou Guo's eyes turned cold, and the stick in his hand flew out and hit the man's knee hard. With a scream, the man fell to his knees with his leg broken.
She shouted, "Everyone stand back!"
The children all took two steps back, clearing the scene.
The men looked at her with fear. As for the two men on the ground, one was lying on the ground and hadn't gotten up yet, while the other was holding his leg and screaming in pain.
He wanted to leave, but then he looked at the meat behind him, then looked at these little guys, and then looked at Zhou Guo.
One of them said, "Brothers, this one is really good. Let's attack together. After we finish dealing with this one, the others will be no more than ants..."
Zhou Guo raised the corner of his mouth, "So much talk!"
He pointed his toes, jumped up, and kicked out with his left and right feet. With two bangs, the two men flew out of the temple.
It was so fast that no one could react.
Another punch was thrown and hit a man. There was a cracking sound, and no one knew where the bone was broken.
In the blink of an eye, the three men were knocked down, and the two outside the door didn't even have the strength to get up.
The children finally came to their senses and rushed towards them with sticks and stones, smashing them on the heads and faces.
The three people who were still standing saw this and rushed towards Zhou Guo in a swarm, "Ahhh, you're looking for death!"
Zhou Guo clenched his fists, feeling a little excited. It was still more satisfying to punch someone in the flesh with his bare hands.
He grabbed a man's outstretched wrist with his left hand, bent it downward and squeezed it, and the man fell to his knees with a scream.
He slightly tilted his body to avoid the oncoming fist, grasped the man's wrist with his right hand, flipped over and jumped up, riding on the neck of the third man.
The two men screamed at the same time. One's arm was twisted into a knot, and the other was hit on the head by a thigh and immediately fainted on the ground.
Seven or eight big men were knocked down in a short while.
When the children saw a few new ones pouring, they all swarmed up.
Zhou Guo went to take a look at those people, then looked down and couldn't help but click his tongue and shook his head. His nose and face were swollen, and there was a pool of blood under his body. He was like a dead pig, breathing out more than breathing in. He didn't know if he could survive the night.
Seven or eight men were all carried outside and lined up. Some had holes in their heads, some had been hit by sharp stones. Their blood had stained their clothes and the ground. No one knew how many of them would be alive after tonight.
Except for the children who had just arrived, the rest looked on expressionlessly, without any fear in their eyes, and even a hint of relief.
Zhou Guo nodded secretly. If they still wanted to live here in the future, these people could not stay, at least not in a safe way. Otherwise, there would be endless troubles. Before they grew up, they would be bullied countless times by them, and their food, clothes and money would be robbed.
Thinking of this, I heard a faint sob next to me.
She turned her head curiously and saw that it was the little girl who was serving food. Her eyes were red and she was wiping away tears. She looked at the few people with gritted teeth and wished she could go up and give them a few more sticks.
Several little kids around her also hugged her and cried.
"Gouya is a girl, ten years old, who came here just before the New Year. Not long after we arrived, these people went up the mountain. Fortunately, we came back early, otherwise..."
His tone was full of relief.
Zhou Guo was startled. It was a good thing he didn't succeed, otherwise such a good girl would have been ruined.
A voice nearby suddenly said, "Don't accuse us of being cruel. We don't know where these hooligans came from. Before the villages below the mountain moved away, we hated them. They usually steal, beat people, and rob people. They do all kinds of bad things. Whenever we have something good, these people come here as soon as they smell it, just like a dog's nose."
Another one continued, "Although we have a large number of people, most of them are just a few years old. These ones are already in their thirties or forties. We have never fought them once, and several of them have died. The food, money, and clothes we begged for were all looted by them. Now there are only some broken pots and pans left in the temple. They deserve this fate now. We want to thank you. If it weren't for you, we don't know how long we would have to suffer their oppression."
It was said with hatred and frankness.
Zhou Guo understood what they meant and nodded, regardless of whether they could see it or not. In this world, one cannot survive without being ruthless, especially for beggars like them, who can only survive by being ruthless and cruel.
……
Everyone held their bowls and ate the meat in big mouthfuls, talking and laughing, enjoying the meal very much.
Zhou Guo sat in a corner holding her own big bowl. The meat in the bowl was already cold and the taste was not very good. She ate it bite by bite. If she had known, she would not have served it so early.
She looked towards the southeast corner of the temple, which was the farthest place from the entrance. Several children who had just arrived were huddled together with their bowls, their eyes full of panic and fear. The timid ones were still trembling.
Although he was trembling, he did not forget to eat the meat. He kept stuffing it into his mouth while trembling, and it tasted just as sweet in big mouthfuls.
While eating, his eyes couldn't help but glance towards the door. He took a frightened look and immediately shrank back like a frightened little rabbit.
But his mouth kept moving.
Zhou Guo couldn't help laughing as he watched.
There was a person sitting next to her. She turned her head and looked, "Dog...what?"
Gou Ya grinned, "My name is Gou Ya. My father gave it to me randomly. He said that any name would be fine for a girl. You are so amazing. You can beat so many people by yourself. Where did you learn it from?"
Zhou Guo smiled knowingly. It was not easy for this little girl to be so cheerful and generous after going through all these things. "I also learned from my master. It's only been a short time. If I don't learn well, they are just a few good-for-nothings. If some of them know some boxing skills, it won't be so easy."
Gou Ya looked at her with starry eyes, "That's amazing too. I've never seen anyone as amazing as you since I was little. My father would take it out on me and my mother whenever he was unhappy. He was the most amazing person in our family. When an adult man in the village beat his wife at home, he could knock her down with just one punch. My mother and the aunts in the village didn't even have the strength to fight back. You were so young, but you could beat up seven or eight people. You're incredible."
Zhou Guo frowned when he heard this, "How did you end up here?"
Gou Ya was silent for a while and said, "My mother died two years ago, and my father wanted to remarry. He planned to sell me to a wealthy man in our town as a concubine, but I didn't want to. That wealthy man was already over 60 years old. Another beautiful girl in our village was also sold by her father, but she was beaten to death within two months. Her parents went to their house to make a fuss and took 20 taels of silver. The couple came back happily and didn't even take the body. The villagers scolded them as inhuman, and I was scared so I ran away."
Zhou Guo said angrily: "Your father is such a piece of shit that he actually sold you as a concubine."
