“I’m in charge of the Mu family. Though, I want to ask who you are. Who are you to interfere with how I punish the thieves who try to steal from my family?”
The person choked and his face darkened. His already dark face became even darker, like charcoal in a black pot. There were 17 to 18 villagers standing behind him one after another. They clamored, “We’re from Horse Head Village. If you want to deal with someone from our village, you have to seek our permission first.”
Another old man squeezed out of the crowd and said to Mu Yangling with a smile, “Little girl, don’t be angry. These are all young men from our Horse Head Village. Young people are hot-tempered, so they speak a little rashly. The five of them did make a mistake, but as the saying goes, ‘It’s best to let someone have a chance to start anew after knowing their mistakes’. Since the five of them already know their mistakes, do let them off. They’ll remember your kindness in the future.”
Mu Yangling’s gaze slid past him and landed on Black Charcoal behind him.
She asked, “What if I don’t agree?”
Black Charcoal’s eyes darkened. Looking at Mu Yangling, he said, “Then Miss Mu doesn’t have the final say.”
Liu Yuan, who had already walked over, was about to rush forward when he heard this, but Liu Ting stopped him. Liu Yuan lowered his voice and said, “Big Brother, what are you waiting for? Can’t you see that Ah Ling is being bullied?” “Didn’t you see All Ling wink at us? We’ll go up later. With Ah Ling’s ability, do you think these people can deal with her?” Remembering Ah Ling had crawled out of a pile of dead people, Liu Yuan immediately relaxed. He suppressed the clamoring cousins behind him and watched the commotion with the surrounding villagers.
The people from Horse Head Village had already started making a fuss, shouting, “You better know when to stop!”
The originally smiling old man’s face also turned cold. “Miss Mu, you’re not giving me face by saying this. The five of them indeed deserve to be beaten. Men, bring them back. We will punish them by our clan rules.”
A few young men stood up from Horse Head Village and wanted to escort Thief A and the others away.
Mu Yangling kicked Thief A out and stepped on his chest. “You’d better not anger me. My strength is not accurate. If I’m not careful, 1 could turn a person into a rock.”
After saying that, she moved her foot and stepped on a rock not far away. She rubbed it hard, and the rock cracked.
The people who went forward looked at each other and did not dare to go forward.
Xiuhong sneered. “What cowards. You can’t even compare to a finger of my cousin and you still dare to find trouble with her. How shameless for so many people to go up against one person.”
Bowen tried his best to squeeze past Liu Ting to Xiuhong’s side. He made a face and said, “So many adults are bullying us children. Aren’t you ashamed?”
As soon as he said this, even Black Charcoal and the old man could not help but blush. Those young men from Horse Head Village were so angry that they rushed forward to grab Mu Yangling. Mu Yangling blocked his hand and grabbed the other party’s collar and waist before throwing him out. Then, she threw a punch at the people who rushed forward. Turning around, she instantly got everyone from Horse Head Village entangled…
Her movements were swift, and she was very skilled in the ‘Quick Snatching’ technique. After a while, all 18 people from Horse Head Village were knocked to the ground by her. Hidden in the crowd, Qi Haoran’s eyes lit up when he saw this. In a lowered voice, he said to Fan Zijin, “I’ve never seen Mu Yangling use this move before.”
“Isn’t this a grappling technique?” Even if Fan Zijin didn’t like to practice martial arts, he could still see some traces of it.
“It is indeed, but it’s much more refined. Anyone with a little foundation in martial arts can learn it. It’s more effective than the grappling technique we’re learning in the military camp now.” After all, Qi Haoran was an expert of a variety of martial arts techniques and was familiar with the various acupuncture points. Mu Yangling’s ‘Quick Snatching’ move looked simple, but with just a few movements, she aimed accurately at people’s acupuncture points, rendering them strengthless with just a squeeze…
When Black Charcoal and the old man saw that Mu Yangling had single-handedly defeated the people they had brought, their expressions changed drastically. Just as they were about to say something, Liu Ting had already pushed away the people in front of him and brought the youths of the Liu clan forward. 25 to 26 strong young men stood behind Mu Yangling.
“All Ling, what’s going on? Did someone bully you?” Liu Ting asked Mu Yangling, but his eyes were on the people from Horse Head Village.
Mu Yangling complained in front of them. “Uncle, they’re bullying us. Not only did they want to steal from us, but they also bullied the Mu family for being the only ones with the Mu surname here and wanted to take the thieves away just like this.”
Liu Ting looked at Black Charcoal and said, “Who said that the Mu family doesn’t have any relatives? Even after the daughter of the Liu clan marries, she will still be a daughter of the Liu clan. Are you people bullying my cousin’s family because he can’t take care of them while he’s in the military camp? Or are you bullying them because the Liu clan is not in Chenggu Garrison?” Seeing that so many people had suddenly appeared to back up the Mu family, the two of them were truly shocked. The reason why they dared to bring people over to ask for the thieves’ release was because the Mu family was the only one with the Mu surname in the surrounding villages and had no backing. Even if they were unreasonable, they were no match for an entire village.
Black Charcoal and the old man looked at each other. In the end, it was the old man who cupped his hands and admitted defeat. “This is Brother Liu, right? This is all a misunderstanding. We want to bring them back to punish them, not to protect them.”
“There’s no need to bring them back. You can deal with them in front of my niece and everyone else. This will be more fair. All Ling has already given you a lot of face by agreeing not to send them to the officials. Otherwise, if they go to jail, will they still be able to come out in one piece?”
Black Charcoal and the old man looked at each other and finally nodded. “Since Miss Mu gave us face, we will deal with them here.”
Mu Yangling said with a smile, “How you deal with them is your business. However, since they have agreed to my request, we have to carry out my punishment first.”
Black Charcoal’s expression changed. With clenched fists, he said, “Miss Mu, you can easily cripple their arms with a single palm strike. Please be magnanimous!”
“As thieves, you have to be prepared to have your hands crippled. This is also a lesson for them. Otherwise, if they even dare to steal from villagers, won’t they dare to kill people outside? Since they don’t know how to conduct themselves, 1 don’t mind teaching them personally and letting them know what they can and can’t do.”
Black Charcoal’s expression changed drastically, but Mu Yangling did not wait for him to say anything. She took a step forward and pressed down on Thief B’s shoulder with a little force. With a crack, Thief B screamed.
When the remaining three people saw this, they all looked at Mu Yangling in cold sweat. Thief C even lost control of his bowels.
Mu Yangling mercilessly broke their arms before clapping her hands and saying, “This is a lesson for them. Let them remember what they can and can’t do!”
The expressions of the people from Horse Head Village were not good. However, because there were more than 20 people from the Liu clan here, they did not speak fiercely to Mu Yangling like before.
Seeing that the matters outside were almost settled, Mu Shi opened the door and came out.
Liu Ting was stunned to see him. “You’re at home? I thought you went to the military camp again. Then why did you call Ah Ling out to deal with it?”
Everyone also looked at Mu Shi..
