Chapter 22: Taking a Life with a Knife!

"Sister, no!" Third Sister's voice rang out again.

Zhang Erya then carefully put down the rice and flour. "Third Sister, what do you need a knife for?"

Third Aunt was carrying a plastic bag containing calcium milk biscuits. "I want to hang this up. I need to find a knife to cut the rope."

Zhang Erya looked around and found that they were indeed not at home. "You can just use a kitchen knife to cut it."

"Sister, do you want some calcium milk biscuits? My young master gave me a lot again!"

Zhang Erya shook her head, "I'm not hungry, I won't eat."

As night fell and darkness descended, Zhang Dalang looked in the direction Xiao Ran and Xiao Hei had left, made up his mind, gripped his wood-chopping knife and sickle, and followed them.

They chased after them all the way to the pool, only to find that Xiao Ran and Xiao Hei were nowhere to be found.

Zhang Dalang walked to the shore and looked around.

I don't understand why Xiao Ran is here; it seems very strange.

"Looking for me?" Xiao Ran asked, emerging from behind the bushes, carrying a wooden stick.

Zhang Dalang slowly walked towards Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran could sense that this guy had murderous intent towards him.

It wasn't just hostility; it was murderous intent.

"No, we have no past grudges or recent hatred, it can't be that serious!" Xiao Ran didn't want to make a scene, since he was an unregistered resident and making a scene would do him no good.

“You have plenty of money, food, and drink, and we siblings don’t have anything of value that you’re interested in. What do you want?” Zhang Dalang questioned Xiao Ran.

"I really meant no harm, why won't you believe me!"

Zhang Dalang quickened his pace. There was nothing at home worth worrying about, so Xiao Ran could only think about his two younger sisters.

Since that's the case, Zhang Dalang won't hold back anymore.

There was no one else in the house; he was the only man, so he had to do all these things himself.

"Holy crap!" Xiao Ran never expected to actually encounter such a reckless fool.

"Hey, hey, hey, let's not even talk about whether you can kill me or not. Even if you do kill me, you'll still die. You have to pay for murder with your life. What are you after?" Xiao Ran really didn't understand.

"Woof woof woof!" Little Black became fierce, unlike its usual self.

Zhang Dalang's eyes were bloodshot, and his wood-chopping knife and sickle flashed like two cold shadows in his hands.

He hadn't learned any moves; he just roared and swung the two knives in a circle, aiming for Xiao Ran's face—there was no skill involved.

He carried two knives because he lacked confidence and wanted to increase his chances of winning.

Zhang Dalang was just an ordinary person, not very old, and his attacks were completely haphazard, he just kept slashing at Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran didn't try to persuade her any further, because she knew it was pointless; he was determined to do it.

Zhang Dalang might have a chance of winning against ordinary people, but the problem is that he encountered Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran had practiced Sanda (Chinese kickboxing), martial arts, and military boxing. Although he wasn't a master, he was more than capable of dealing with ordinary people.

Xiao Ran used a wooden stick to parry, and in a few moves, he disarmed Zhang Dalang.

They pinned Zhang Dalang to the ground.

"I'm going to kill you!" Zhang Dalang shouted loudly, with a hint of despair in his voice.

Xiao Ran's strength is beyond imagination.

"Why don't you believe it?"

"Brother, brother," came Zhang Erya's voice.

Zhang Erya and San Niang also caught up.

Zhang Erya sensed something was wrong and went out to look for him, only to see her brother heading towards the pool.

Zhang Dalang had a lot of opinions about Xiao Ran before, so Zhang Erya could naturally guess what her brother was planning to do.

The two sisters reached the pond and had already finished fighting.

Zhang Erya ran to Xiao Ran's side. Although it was getting dark, she could still see two knives on the ground. They looked familiar; they were from her own house.

“Brother, young master.” Zhang Erya was a little at a loss.

When San Niang saw this scene, she burst into tears.

On one side was her elder brother, the one who had protected her since childhood; on the other side was Xiao Ran, who was also very good to her. In San Niang's heart, both of them were wonderful.

Seeing my brother on the ground, I felt terrible.

Zhang Erya's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face. She felt the same way as her sister.

"Third Sister, don't cry. There must be some misunderstanding." Xiao Ran released Zhang Dalang. "Let's talk. It must be a misunderstanding."

“Young master, my brother wasn’t like this before.” Zhang Erya felt quite guilty.

But I don't know how to explain it.

Zhang Erya was well aware of how good Xiao Ran was to her family.

Those gifts are very precious; my family really needs them.

It was obvious that her older brother had come to cause trouble for Xiao Ran, but Zhang Erya also knew why her brother was doing this.

Zhang Erya knew that her brother was right to say that Xiao Ran had ulterior motives, but she still felt sorry for Xiao Ran.

After meeting him a few times, I found Xiao Ran to have a very good personality, and he gave me a lot of things.

Many people in the village avoided their sisters, but Xiao Ran did not.

Thinking about all this, Zhang Erya could only cry and didn't know what to say; she was just a little kid herself.

There was no one else in the family; she and her brother had to support the household together.

But seeing what was happening in front of me, I was truly devastated and really wanted to cry.

Zhang Erya immediately knelt down, "Young master, I'm so sorry, so sorry!"

Seeing her elder sister kneel down, the third sister also knelt down.

There are some things that Third Sister is too young to know, but Zhang Erya does.

"Second Mistress, Third Mistress, please get up. There's no need for this. There must be some misunderstanding."

"Second Aunt, Third Aunt, get up!" Zhang Dalang's eyes were red, and he felt even worse.

Perhaps because he knew he couldn't beat Xiao Ran, and with his two younger sisters there, Zhang Dalang no longer had any designs on Xiao Ran.

The dog gently rubbed against Third Sister, seemingly trying to comfort her.

The group found a place to sit down.

Once the two sisters had calmed down, Xiao Ran took the initiative to say, "I did have a purpose."

Zhang Dalang glared at Xiao Ran, clenching his fists.

Zhang Erya wasn't surprised; after all, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

“I just arrived here. I don’t have a household registration. I’m an unregistered resident and a thug. It would be a lot of trouble if I got arrested by the authorities. I’m approaching you because I want to get a household registration.”

Xiao Ran originally didn't want to say these things too soon.

We have no choice but to speak out now.

"My goal is to attach myself to your family and obtain a registered residence, and then find a way to have my own independent household registration later, that's all."

The three siblings looked at Xiao Ran without saying a word; the third sister didn't understand any of this.

"My attire is different because I came back from the Western Regions and don't have a registered residence, so this is the only way I can dress."

Zhang Dalang suddenly stood up, and Xiao Ran subconsciously gripped the wooden stick beside him; this guy had been a bit reckless before.

I'm terrified of fighting myself to the death again.

"No, I'm telling the truth!"

Zhang Dalang knelt down with a thud. "I misunderstood before. It was my fault. I'll kowtow to you."

After saying that, he started banging on the ground with all his might.

Xiao Ran looked completely bewildered. What was going on?
He quickly pulled Zhang Dalang up, saying, "Get up and talk to me, I won't blame you!"

As a modern person, I really can't accept kneeling so easily. I don't want to kneel myself, and I don't want others to kneel before me either.

"Please help my sister, I don't have much time left!"
