Chapter 10 Wicked
"If any of you don't listen, you'll get a beating when I find out."
"Uncle, we saw that little girl again today. She was carrying a bundle of branches and we ran into each other."
"Don't worry about her."
The few young men fell silent, but surely they were not convinced.
That night, Yang Hongwen and his wife were lying in bed. "Are you sure about what you said?"
"Yes, indeed. I hadn't paid much attention before, but after seeing that big wild boar, I thought that girl was strange. Then I remembered, when I got into the water back then, it was up to my chest, but that little girl couldn't have been tall enough, yet she was just floating on the surface."
"How is that possible? Honestly, I don't believe such a small girl could kill a wild boar weighing hundreds of pounds, let alone do it all by herself. I even thought about going up the mountain to see.
But now I finally believe it. Still, is it okay to give that little girl so much money?"
"I think anyone who covets her money won't meet a good end.
Besides, I don't want to be suspected. Three hundred yuan is a lot, but it's blood money, so it's not that much really."
"Yes, after all, it was earned by risking her life. I heard from Chunhua that the girl's stomach was bruised. It's a miracle she's okay. If something inside had been damaged, she'd have no chance of surviving."
