Is the beginning of a catastrophe? The little farm cook is raising a family with a full warehouse.

Now that all the stuff is taken, it's time to start dealing with the people.

Cheng Yuntao caught a chicken, and with a flick of his wrist, the kitchen knife slashed across the chicken's neck like lightning. The crowing sound was instantly cut off, leaving only a faint flapping sound. Warm blood slid down the blade and dripped into the bowl that had been prepared long ago.

She walked into the house with the bowl in her hand, used the chicken blood as paint, and began to paint freely on the surrounding walls and windows, leaving behind shocking bloody handprints.

These handprints varied in weight and were arranged in an orderly manner, as if countless invisible hands were struggling and shouting in the darkness, shrouding the entire room in a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

The remaining chicken blood was not wasted. It was all sprinkled on the Xu family, making them the sacrifices of this strange ritual.

The whole room was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the moonlight cast mottled shadows, which made people feel chilly.

When encountering phenomena that cannot be explained by common sense, ghosts and gods are the best cover-up. Cheng Yuntao believes that the Xu family will imagine it themselves and give a reasonable explanation.

She could stop targeting the rest of the people, but she absolutely could not let Xu Tianci and Wu Yanqiu off so easily.

She dragged the two of them out separately and tied them together back to back. Perhaps because the movement was too bumpy, Wu Yanqiu muttered a few words in a daze.

"Are you going to die? Why are you not sleeping at this hour of night...?"

Wu Yanqiu narrowed her eyes slightly, trying to see the person who was making trouble, but because her vision was too blurry, she couldn't see the person in front of her at all, and a sense of uneasiness arose in her heart.

Cheng Yuntao did not answer, but just smiled faintly, turned around and grabbed the sack of corn and put it over Wu Yanqiu's head.

After everything in front of her eyes went completely dark, Wu Yanqiu became much more sober and a look of horror appeared on her face. She struggled violently and found that her hands and feet were tied up and she could not move.

She wanted to open her mouth and call for help, but as soon as the sound came out of her throat, her neck was obviously pressed by external force, and a vague voice came to her ears.

"If you dare to scream, I don't mind using your precious son as the first step."

Wu Yanqiu put her hands behind her back and touched Xu Tianci's chubby little hand. She was shocked and felt something was wrong. Judging from the situation, her entire family seemed to have been kidnapped!

Considering the safety of her precious son's life, Wu Yanqiu did not dare to act rashly anymore. She whimpered softly twice in a very sensible manner, indicating that she was willing to cooperate.

But Cheng Yuntao didn't trust her. After letting go, she immediately found a piece of rag and blocked her mouth tightly.

Unable to express herself, the feeling of drowsiness and weakness came over her again. Wu Yanqiu collapsed weakly and began to fall into a half-asleep and half-wakeful state again.

Cheng Yuntao quickened her movements, holding a pair of fire tongs and moving them back and forth over the fire. After a while, a faint dark red light appeared on the top of the tongs.

Then she raised the red-hot tongs and clamped Wu Yanqiu's arm without hesitation. The red-hot iron block transmitted the high temperature through her clothes and onto her skin.

Thick smoke rose, and Wu Yanqiu's body arched up due to pain, twisting into a hideous arc. She wanted to curse, but because her lips and tongue were sealed, she could only make unclear screams.

The air was filled with a strange smell that was a mixture of burnt odor and meaty aroma. It was a unique smell produced by the contact of high temperature with the skin, which was nauseating. Cheng Yuntao suppressed the nausea in her heart.

There is no such thing as true empathy in this world. Only by experiencing the same pain as others can you understand the heart-wrenching feeling.

She gave others a taste of her own medicine. The pain that Wu Yanqiu had once inflicted on Xiaoli finally came back upon herself tonight.

Cheng Yuntao's movements did not stop because of Wu Yanqiu's struggle. Instead, they became faster and faster, leaving one mark after another on her body.

After the severe pain, Wu Yanqiu's hands were rubbed with bloody marks by the hemp rope. Her body tensed and she fainted completely. Cheng Yuntao exhaled and shifted her gaze to Xu Tianci.

Haha, your own son is a treasure given by God, and other people’s daughters are cheap things. They are obviously fools, but they insist on being treated like emperors.

Cheng Yuntao rolled up her sleeves and used all her strength to attack Xu Tianci with a series of punches, leaving him with a black eye and a swollen face. Before finishing, she did not forget to kick him in the vitals.

If the grass is not removed at the root, it will grow again in the spring breeze. If his roots are not cut off, the Xu family's desire for it will not end. Who knows how many little girls will continue to be tortured in the future. Cheng Yuntao used 100% of his strength in this kick to ensure that he would get the job done in one go.

After dealing with all this, Cheng Yuntao returned to the woodshed and woke up Xiaoli, who was curled up in the corner and waiting quietly.

"Xiao Li, everything is over. Sister will take you home now. Let's go."

Cheng Yuntao took Xiaoli's hand and walked into the vast night.

……

It was not until noon the next day that the Xu family members, who were suffering from splitting headaches, slowly woke up. When they opened their eyes, they were stunned by the scene before them.

Covered in blood, the house was filled with bloody handprints, the warehouse was completely ransacked, and there was a mother and son tied up in the yard, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.

"What the hell! What the hell!"

The old lady of the Xu family trembled her dry hands and gestured around helplessly. This was the first time she had encountered such a thing in her entire life.

"What a sin! What a sin! I've always told you to refrain from doing immoral things, and now, my enemies have come knocking on my door!"

Old Mrs. Xu is old and likes to burn incense and worship Buddha on weekdays. She usually turns a blind eye to the things her eldest son does.

Seeing that he would not listen to advice, he started to eat vegetarian food and recite scriptures, thinking that this would offset his sins.

But how can the law of cause and effect be easily offset by reciting a few verses of Buddhist scriptures?

"It must be a ghost. Otherwise, how could someone quietly move all the stuff out in one night?"

"And the chickens and ducks in the yard, even the eggs in the nest were stolen!"

The second daughter-in-law of the Xu family was a little overwhelmed when she saw the empty house. She had married into the Xu family because of their good conditions, but who would have known that such a thing would happen not long after she got married.

Except for the house, everything else is gone! It's like being left with nothing!

"Who on earth wants to target our Xu family?" The head of the family, Xu Hu, was furious. He pounded the table with his fists, shocking everyone.

The second daughter-in-law of the Xu family seemed to have remembered something. She slapped her forehead and said, "Oh right! Where's the little girl who was used to pay off the debt? Why is she nowhere to be found?"

By the time the Xu family reacted, Cheng Yuntao had already taken Xiaoli over a mountain overnight and disappeared without a trace.
