After the divorce, I trained my dog, and the scumbag father and son knelt down at my door.

Selfish people prioritize themselves when making choices.

So in the end, Xiaojun chose himself.

"Alright! I'll take you there!"

This time, with Xiao Jun's betrayal, Yan Niannian and Zhuo Yuchen no longer need to climb over the wall.

Xiao Jun took out a spare key from inside the house, opened the door, and the three of them swaggered out.

Although the explosion caused a commotion in the village, all the villagers put on their clothes and came out.

However, a large group of people followed He Baoli to his aunt's place amidst a great commotion, while another group observed the situation at the entrance to the explosion site.

Therefore, there were not many people on the village roads.

At first, the three of them walked quite smoothly.

But as fate would have it, a man suddenly emerged from a side path.

Facing each other head-on, Xiao Jun almost collided with the other party.

Startled, Xiao Jun instinctively took two steps back. He looked up nervously at the other person, "Uncle... Uncle..."

The man frowned. "Xiao Jun?"

"The adults are all busy, why are you running around causing trouble? How inconsiderate of you!"

"me……"

Xiao Jun felt guilty and didn't know how to explain.

"Huh?" Noticing something amiss, the man then saw Yan Niannian and Zhuo Yuchen behind Xiao Jun. "You two aren't..."

"Ah! I see, you're planning to escape in the chaos."

"You little ingrate, taking advantage of the trouble in the village to help outsiders. You have no conscience at all, you little ingrate!"

The man called "Uncle" got angry, grabbed Xiaojun, and slapped him hard several times.

Painful and frightened, Xiao Jun cried out, "Uncle, don't hit me, don't hit me. I had no choice, they forced me to!"

The man remained unmoved.

He decided that he must teach this traitorous bastard a lesson on behalf of the He family.

Zhuo Yuchen narrowed his eyes dangerously, his aura sharpening.

He stepped forward and struck the man on the back of the neck with a palm strike.

"Uh..." The other person rolled their eyes, their body went limp and slid down, falling directly to the ground.

Xiao Jun was terrified.

Zhuo Yuchen didn't care about any of that. He reached out and pulled Xiao Jun along, "Keep going!"

This man's commotion might attract others, and to avoid any unforeseen complications, they had to hurry.

Not long after Yan Niannian and Zhuo Yuchen left, the man lying on the ground struggled and swayed as he got up.

The man raised his hand, touched his aching neck, and grinned.

He looked terrified.

Fortunately, when she was disciplining Xiao Jun, she was wary of Zhuo Yuchen's presence and had been secretly keeping an eye on him the whole time.

That's how they avoided most of the force.

Then, the man's expression turned ferocious.

No!

We must not let that woman surnamed Yan get away.

Otherwise, that bitch will definitely bring back other, more powerful people to rescue the other women who were abducted from the village.

Wouldn't that completely destroy their village?

Thinking of this, the man turned and ran to find Xiaojun's grandmother and the village chief to report the news.

……

The village chief's house.

"What?" The village chief and Xiaojun's grandmother were both taken aback when they heard the news.

He jumped up abruptly, his face turning grim.

"Village chief, what should we do? What should we do?" After a few seconds of stunned silence, Grandma Xiaojun came to her senses and frantically grabbed the village chief's arm.

At that moment, she really didn't know what to do.

"You still have the nerve to ask!"

Enraged, the village chief raised his hand and slapped Xiaojun's grandmother across the face.

With a "snap," five finger marks appeared.

"What kind of mess has your He family made? Don't you know your own limitations? Why did you have to bring that woman back?"

"Now look what's happened! You've caused so much trouble, are you trying to ruin our entire village?"

As her face turned to the side, Grandma Xiaojun's gums trembled with pain.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she dared not speak out against her anger.

It was indeed a terrible disaster they caused.

First, his son went to cover the gunpowder, but not long after he left, the cave exploded, blocking the only road in and out of the village.

The village chief just found out about this and was furious, giving her a severe scolding.

But before one problem could be solved, another arose.

Now, that damned Xiao Jun has let that little bitch surnamed Yan go again.

What terrible things have I done?!

Is God trying to kill her?

"Village chief, don't be angry. Since it has already happened, we still need to think of ways to remedy the situation!" the man who brought the news advised.

Although he was seething with hatred, he knew that now was not the time to be resentful.

He has two women he abducted.

If that woman surnamed Yan gets her way, how can his family expect to do well?

"What else can we do? Gather everyone and go after them!" The village chief glared fiercely, his expression cold. "At all costs."

"If we can't bring them back alive, they'll die!"

"Hey, hey, hey! I'll go get help right now!" The man turned and ran out.

……

Meanwhile, He Baoli's side also made progress.

When he and a large group of villagers arrived at his aunt's house, he knelt on the ground, crying and complaining to his aunt with snot and tears streaming down his face. His aunt rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

Their two families are related.

She had watched He Baoli grow up, and she knew him all too well what kind of person he was.

Seeing his lifeless state, she knew that the explosion must be related to him.

Although Auntie was dissatisfied, they were relatives after all, and she couldn't just sit idly by.

"Alright! Let me offer some incense and ask the spirits to take a good look!"

The third aunt pretended to turn around and light three incense sticks.

She bowed, then made a delicate gesture with her fingers, closed her eyes, and muttered something in a mysterious voice.

The others held their breath, staring intently at Aunt San, their expressions devout, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Three minutes have passed.

At this moment, Auntie San suddenly opened her eyes and shouted.

His eyes were wide open, and the deep lines on his face, etched by the passage of time, were intertwined, creating a comical yet slightly eerie scene.

Everyone shuddered.

After a moment of hesitation, one of the older women mustered her courage and stepped forward.

She cautiously asked the question that everyone was concerned about, "Um... Third Aunt, what did the spirits say?"

"Cough cough cough..." Upon hearing this, Third Aunt deliberately puffed out her chest and pretended to pinch her throat, "The immortals told me that the one surnamed Yan is a demoness."

"Her arrival was solely for the purpose of destroying our village."

"And the explosion was a warning from the immortals."

"You can't be foolish and let this enchantress bewitch you, or just sit idly by!"

Upon hearing this, He Baoli breathed a heavy sigh of relief, "Phew!"

My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

The others were furious.
