Chapter 2 – The First Kill, The End of Worldly Connections
Li Guanqi looked down, trembling uncontrollably. He clutched the medicine in his hand and did not dare move. But the man immediately spotted Li Guanqi’s eyes, which were not covered.
The man’s face darkened, and he slapped Li Guanqi so hard that he fell to the ground.
“Damn it! How many times have I told you to cover your eyes?! Those damn eyes bring bad luck!”
Li Dashan’s anger worsened when he saw the herbs scattered across the floor. He kicked the boy several times as he roared, “Did you spend money on medicine?!”
The boy had experienced this treatment countless times. He wrapped his hands around his head and did his best to curl up.
The crouching boy stubbornly protected the scattered medicine with his own body.
Hearing the noise, the woman on the bed-stove stumbled to her feet and pushed Li Dashan away. She screamed, “Don’t hit him... Don’t hit my child...”
In a rage, Li Dashan picked up the wooden board next to him and smashed it over her head!
Slam!
“Damn cripple! What’s the fucking point of spending money on medicine? I wish you’d die sooner! I should have sent you to the Zhao Estate as a servant when I had the chance. At least they’d pay me some money if you died!”
Blood flowed slowly down the woman’s forehead, but she clutched the boy protectively, begging furiously, “Don’t hit my child.”
