Ordinary people can also be extraordinary
Chapter 101 Punishment
After listening to her, Zhang Chen guessed that it was probably just a normal beating. Even if the beating was a bit severe, it would not cause any loss of limbs, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is that so? Then let's go to town to see your sister."
"Okay, I'll pack up and leave right away."
Xiaoling immediately jumped out of bed, packed up, changed into newer clothes, went to the kitchen and brought out the fish soup prepared last night, and came to Zhang Chen.
"Okay, let's go."
Zhang Chen nodded, took the things from Xiaoling's hand and put them directly into the storage bag. Xiaoling was shocked. Looking at the fish soup that disappeared out of thin air, she trusted Zhang Chen more and more, and then they walked out together.
Pushing open the door, Zhang Chen looked at the surroundings. This was a small village with not many households. The whole village was built on a flat land, very close to the river. Almost every household had a small wooden boat in front of the door, and some fishing nets were hung in front of the yard. It seemed that most people in the village did not live well, and only some families who could barely make ends meet had a lot of drying fish hanging in the yard.
It was not yet time to fish, and many people were chatting at the door. Most of them were elderly people, and there were very few young people. After listening carefully, Zhang Chen found that they were talking about the Zerg.
The village is not big and most people are familiar with each other. Seeing Zhang Chen and Xiaoling walk out of the house together, some neighbors were curious. Zhang Chen's clothes and skin color were different from others and did not fit in with the environment here.
After asking Xiaoling, they were all very surprised to learn that it was the person they rescued a few days ago. They had all seen Zhang Chen's injuries and knew that it would take several months for him to recover. Even if he recovered, he would not be able to walk freely like a normal person. Seeing that Zhang Chen had an extraordinary temperament and dress, they did not dare to ask more questions.
Zhang Chen did not chat with them for too long. He took out some gold and silver from his storage bag and gave them to them. Looking at these poor and simple people, Zhang Chen just hoped that the swarm of insects would not come here.
Then he took Xiaoling to the town. When the villagers saw how generous Zhang Chen was, they all started to praise him. They thought that Zhang Chen had taken Xiaoling away, and they congratulated him and were envious.
When the man surnamed Qi saw Zhang Chen and Xiaoling walking out of the village, he was also hesitant and did not dare to step forward. He clearly saw Zhang Chen last night, lying on the bed like a living dead, but he did not expect him to be alive and kicking today, as if nothing had happened to him. He also looked at Zhang Chen's clothes and the gold and silver he gave to the villagers, and felt that they were not something he could afford to offend. He could only watch Xiaoling and Zhang Chen leave and sigh.
Not long after they walked away, Zhang Chen heard Xiaoling's stomach growling, so he broke a fasting pill into two and handed it to her.
"Eat this and you won't be hungry anymore."
After seeing her eat it, he took out a pill for strengthening the body.
"Eat this too. It's good for your health."
Xiaoling had just finished eating and looked at Zhang Chen in confusion:
"What was that I just ate? I feel so full now and I feel full of energy."
Zhang Chen smiled and explained:
"Just to fill your stomach and take some body-strengthening pills. Let's go. We have to hurry up. I have something important to do.
Later, Zhang Chen saw that Xiaoling was walking too slowly, so he held her to his chest, asked her to show the way, and walked forward quickly with her, and soon arrived in the town.
After Xiaoling's guidance, they arrived at a gate leading to a small courtyard. The door was open and the sounds of people crying and arguing could be heard.
When the two walked in, they saw a man in his thirties, staggering with a wooden stick in his hand, beating a woman who was lying on the ground, crying, and cursing.
"Since I married you, I've been unlucky. Nothing goes well for me. I can't even have a hot meal when I come home, and you're still wailing."
After saying that, he swung the stick in his hand a few more times with such force that the woman fell to the ground, motionless.
Zhang Chen and another person came in and saw this scene. Zhang Chen frowned and was about to get angry when he heard Xiaoling scream.
"elder sister."
Xiaoling immediately rushed over, helped his sister up, and kept calling her.
"Sister, are you okay, sister..."
After saying this, tears started falling.
At this time, the man saw Xiaoling and chuckled.
"Isn't this Xiaoling? She has grown so big now."
After saying that, he was ready to touch it.
"Go away, why did you hit my sister?"
Xiaoling's eyes were bloodshot and she questioned at the top of her voice.
"How do you talk to me? I'm your brother-in-law."
The man asked condescendingly, then thought of something and looked at Xiaoling and said:
"Oh, by the way, I just found a marriage for you. The man's family is rich, and you will have a good life if you marry him. It just so happens that you are here. I will ask the man to come over to discuss it later."
After saying that, he looked at Xiaoling and felt that she was much prettier than his sister. If he hadn't lost money in gambling, he would have been reluctant to let her go.
"You are shameless."
Xiaoling cursed angrily, and looked at her sister who was almost covered with scars, new and old wounds overlapping. She felt so distressed that she burst into tears, and then looked at Zhang Chen for help.
Zhang Chen came to her sister, stretched out his hand to check, and felt that her sister's pulse was weak. If they had not come today, she would not live for a few days according to the current situation.
Then he took out a healing pill and gave it to her, then nodded to Xiaoling, telling her not to worry.
"Hey, who are you? What did you feed my wife? So you two know each other, you whore, you're cheating on me, right?"
After saying that, he raised the wooden stick in his hand and hit Xiaoling's sister hard on the head. If this hit her, her sister would be dead given her current condition.
Zhang Chen gently raised his hand and grasped the falling wooden stick. With a force of his fingers, he crushed the wooden root directly. When the man saw this scene, he sobered up instantly.
Zhang Chen wanted to kill him outright, but thinking that he was Xiaoling's brother-in-law and his sister's husband after all, it would be inappropriate for him to interfere. So he quickly stepped forward, came in front of him, and slapped him directly in the face, with several teeth flying out. He flew three meters away and fainted on the ground.
Then he picked up Sister Xiaoling, carried her into the bed in the room, and waited.
About three hours later, Xiaoling's sister woke up. Seeing Xiaoling beside her, she was frightened and sat up instantly, unaware that all her injuries had healed.
"Xiaoling, why are you here? Go away. Your brother-in-law wants to marry you off to the youngest son of the Zhu family next door. That man is even more of a jerk than your brother-in-law."
Xiaoling's eyes turned red again and she hugged her sister. She didn't expect that the first thing she did when she woke up was to worry about herself. Then she comforted her:
"Sister, don't worry about me. How do you feel? Are you feeling better?"
Only then did Sister Xiaoling feel her body. She felt no pain at all and was full of energy. Her physical condition was better than she could ever remember. She was very surprised for a moment.
"How is this going?"
She clearly remembered being beaten by her husband before she fell into a coma, and she thought she couldn't survive this time.
"He saved you. He is an immortal."
Xiaoling pointed at Zhang Chen and introduced him.
Xiaoling only noticed Zhang Chen at this time and felt that Zhang Chen had an extraordinary temperament. She believed it a little and immediately got up to thank Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen waved his hand and told her that his sister had saved him and that it was the duty for him to do so.
Then he discussed future plans with them. Zhang Chen wanted to give them some gold, silver and jewelry and leave, but these two weak women might end up being harmed by such a huge amount of money.
Finally, after thinking it over, Zhang Chen took them to the county town, bought them a house of moderate size, left them money for the rest of their lives, and gave them a dozen low-level talismans that they could use for self-defense. He also took out several martial arts secrets that he had obtained by accident and gave them all to Xiaoling, telling her that it is better to rely on herself than on others, and that only by being strong can she protect herself, and then he gave her some common sense.
Then they left. Before going to the county town, Zhang Chen asked Sister Xiaoling how to deal with her husband. Sister Xiaoling didn't want to make things difficult for him because of their relationship, so Zhang Chen could only agree with her.
Just when they were setting out for the county town, the house where Xiaoling's husband lived suddenly "accidentally" caught fire, burning down the Zhu family next door as well. It happened that her husband's legs were broken and he couldn't run away.
