Pang Si woke up twice more, in a daze, but kept saying things like "Li Shu is extraordinary, Li Chutian is a liar," feeling extremely unwilling.

How could he possibly accept this?

He thought he could bring back a woman he liked, and victory was in his grasp. He didn't think about any other possibilities. But he never expected that he would lose his life before he even met the woman! Thinking of his third brother who was going to be eaten, he was heartbroken and lost all desire to live.

Pang Er was furious.

After the six brothers made a mistake, the eldest brother took the blame, and he became the leader of the brothers. He was already feeling bad about leading his younger brothers to live this wretched life on the mountain, but he never expected to lose two more of them!

Although the fourth brother isn't dead yet, what's the difference between him and someone who's dead?!

That woman...

Pang Er recalled Li Shu's harmless face and never imagined that one day he would be pecked in the eye by an eagle.

He was furious and wanted to kill the person immediately, but he also knew that he couldn't act rashly because they knew too little about that woman!

The information provided by Li Chutian is completely unreliable!

A woman doesn't have confidence just because she has a knife, unless she actually has the ability to wield one. That Li Shu not only knows how to wield a knife, but she can also shoot arrows. The fact that she let the fourth brother come back to report proves that she is not afraid of their brothers' revenge at all!

The snow that day had made the roads outside even more difficult to travel.

Nowadays, everyone can only chop firewood nearby, let alone go to Li Shu to settle accounts.

Pang Er and his brothers were inherently bullies who preyed on the weak and feared the strong, so even though they knew the Zhao family was doing well, they still didn't dare to cause trouble and instead kept their eyes on Li Chutian.

Pang Er was seething with anger after being outmaneuvered by Li Chutian.

The heavy snow fell for three days. Three days later, Pang Si pulled out an arrow and bled to death. After the Pang brothers hurriedly buried their brother, they began to clear the snow and open the road.

Two days later, Pang Er brought his two brothers to Li Chutian's residence.

……

However, upon meeting Li Chutian, it was discovered that the Li family's situation was also not good.

Li Chutian's house collapsed.

Early that morning, a loud crash occurred, and wood and thatch all came crashing down at once, catching the father and daughter off guard. They were hit several times with a blunt object, leaving them bruised and battered.

Fortunately, his head wasn't injured.

But their lives were only temporarily saved. With such a heavy snowstorm and no shelter from the wind and rain, the father and daughter were going to freeze to death.

Li Chutian thought that Li Shu had offended the Pang family and might have already been arrested, so he immediately asked Li Man to lead the way. The two planned to occupy Li Shu's house, but when they got closer, they saw that Li Shu was fine and was sweeping snow outside the house.

I did not see any members of the Pang family.

Not only that, Li Shu also carried a knife on his back, the origin of which was unknown, its cold gleam chilling to the bone.

Remembering Li Shu's madness, he could only mutter curses as he retreated.

Should they ask others for help again? On the vast, snow-covered mountains, the wind could blow a person away, making it impossible to continue along the mountain path. Helpless, the two could only pile their blankets together and, braving the wind and snow, use the wooden sticks to build a simple and low shelter, trying their best to keep warm.

By persevering, we managed to weather the heavy snow.

But although the snow stopped, the weather became even colder.

Li Chutian felt he was about to collapse. Li Man, who was next to him, had fallen asleep at some point, and her face was flushed with an unnatural redness, which made Li Chutian even more panicked.

So at that moment, when he vaguely saw a figure approaching, he felt that heaven was taking pity on him and was sparing his life!

Pang Er snorted coldly and pulled Li Chutian out of the corner of the ruins: "Li, you killed two of my brothers, and I'm here today to avenge them!"

"..." Li Chutian's teeth chattered, his hands were stiff, and his fingers could not curl normally. "Help, help me..."

"Save you? I'm here to send you on your way!" Pang Er said, hooking a rope around Li Chutian's neck and hanging him from a tree. "The day you deceived me and made us brothers marry your daughter, you should have known you wouldn't be able to save your life!"

Li Chutian fell into despair.

His legs were stiffly kicking in mid-air, with nowhere to land.

The rope around her neck was choking her, making it hard to breathe. The short time felt inexplicably long to Li Chutian.

It was as if the first half of my life flashed before my eyes.

He didn't understand why.

Why am I so unlucky?!

The house was perfectly fine, but it collapsed just like that. He struggled to survive until now, and he could live as long as the soldiers came up the mountain to count the number of people. But the Pang family wanted him to die!

He thought that if he died here, the government wouldn't even help him, just like Zhou Shi.

As Li Chutian struggled, he thought he might be seeing things, because he saw Li Shu. She had a bow on her back and a knife in her hand, and she looked fierce. He wondered what she was there for.

Li Shu glanced at the crime scene and felt that his wait had been worthwhile.

"It's you!?" Pang Er looked at her angrily, wanting to step forward, but he was wary of her weapon.

"Are you going to make a move?" Li Shu kept a certain distance from them, ensuring that if they rushed over, she would have enough time to run away and an angle to attack. Her expression was calm and composed as she continued, "You killed my father, and I killed your brothers. That's even. If things really escalate, your Pang family won't just be facing a twenty-year pay cut, will it?"

"You ruined my two brothers!" Pang Er gritted his teeth, wishing he could devour Li Shu alive.

“Wrong, it was your two brothers who wanted to kill me.” Li Shu was not in a hurry. “You brothers are warlike. Among the group that went into the mountains, you were sentenced to the longest, so the government doesn’t care whether you brothers live or die. And now, you can’t take my life either. If you don’t want to suffer a lose-lose situation, I advise you to swallow your dissatisfaction. I will pretend that I didn’t see anything, and you can pretend that your two brothers have escaped and disappeared. How about that?”

"..." Pang Er had never seen such a ruthless person.

The one hanging from the tree was her own father!

"Is this little girl your sister? Don't you care whether she lives or dies?" Pang Er dragged Li Man out.

Li Man had a fever and was not fully conscious.

"Isn't it her who led you to plot against me?" Li Shu said, picking up his bow, aiming at Li Man, and without hesitation, shooting an arrow.

Pang Er quickly pulled the man aside, which caused the arrow to miss its mark; otherwise, it would have pierced Li Man's chest, leaving him no chance of survival.

"!!!" The Pang brothers were utterly shocked. "Are you even human?"

"You're going to protect her?" Li Shu was not satisfied. "She's not a very honest person, a fence-sitter. If we don't deal with her today, aren't we afraid that she'll reveal that you killed her own father in the future? So soft-hearted, you deserve to have your salary cut for twenty years."
