Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Slight Punishment

“You just said you wanted to rob me?”

Lu Qing, his backpack full of stuff, looked ahead calmly.

In front of him, five or six people blocked the road, holding sticks and looking at him with malicious intent.

If Ma Gu were here, he would recognize these people as the gang of hooligans that he had warned against.

Chen San and his companions were now greedily looking at Lu Qing’s possessions.

The sight of the pork in the bamboo basket was particularly eye-watering. More than

half a month ago, they were beaten up by people at the market, and it took them several days to recover from their injuries. They

had even spent all their remaining money on this.

Now, they hadn’t had any meat in over ten days. They

had originally hoped to stop one or two unlucky people on the road and extort some money to spend.

They hadn’t expected such a big fat sheep to appear.

Looking at the meat, rice, and other things in Lu Qing’s backpack, Chen San and his companions’ eyes nearly lit up.

How much are the things in here worth?

Perhaps because Lu Qing had changed so much in recent times, Chen San and his companions hadn’t recognized him as the boy they’d tried to rob over half a month ago.

This was the culprit who had caused them to be beaten up by the people at the fair.

“Boy, since you’ve heard clearly, then just hand over everything you have, including your money!”

Chen San said fiercely.

“That’s right. If you don’t want to be beaten, put your things down immediately and get out of here.”

“Otherwise, we’ll beat you up!”

The other brothers shouted back.

“What if I don’t hand it over? Will you kill me, dump my body in the wilderness, and then take all the stuff?” Lu Qing suddenly asked.

“What did you say?”

Chen San and his companions were stunned.

Was this kid scared silly? They had just said they were going to deal with him, when did they say they were going to kill him?

“Answer me quickly. If I don’t hand it over, are you going to kill me?” Lu Qing said calmly.

Looking at the calmness on Lu Qing’s face, Chen San suddenly felt a chill creeping up his heart.

He felt that the boy in front of him seemed a little weird.

Who would be so calm and ask others if they would kill him when he was being robbed?

Shouldn’t he be panicking and begging them to show mercy?

Is this boy a lunatic?

Chen San and his companions couldn’t help but have such a question in their minds.

However, even if he is a lunatic, he is a rich lunatic!

Chen San and his companions looked at the things on Lu Qing’s body with envy.

If they snatched this batch of things, it would be enough for them to squander for several days.

Thinking of this, Chen San and his companions no longer cared about the chill in their hearts.

“That’s right, if you don’t hand over all the money, believe it or not, we will kill you and throw you into the river!”

Unfortunately, Lu Qing had already seen that they were weak inside.

He looked at the message that appeared above Chen San’s head.

[Chen San: Not doing your job properly, a gangster. He

made a living by stealing and robbing, and had a few younger brothers with him. They often stole things from the nearby villages, and were hated by everyone.

He looked at the others, and without exception, they were all hooligans who stole and robbed people.

He shook his head in disappointment.

If these guys were really cruel, he could do whatever he wanted.

Now, he could only hold back.

However, he still had to deal with those who needed to be dealt with.

Having these guys wandering around was not a good thing for the people in the village.

That was him. If other people from the village had come to the market today, they might have been robbed of everything by these guys.

“A bunch of useless people, you have hands and feet, but you only think about getting something for nothing. Maggots are more valuable than you alive.”

Lu Qing gently put down the things in his hands, untied the backpack, and then stretched his hands and feet.

“What did you say, are you tired of living, kid?”

Chen San and the others were furious.

However, before they could do anything, they saw a figure flash, and Lu Qing rushed in front of them like a whirlwind.

Chen San, who was standing in the front, was startled and subconsciously raised the wooden stick in his hand to hit Lu Qing.

But just as he raised the stick, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and he couldn’t hold the stick anymore and dropped it.

Then, there was a click, and another huge pain in his chest, a fishy smell came from his mouth, his eyes went black, he could no longer stand, and fell to the ground.

When Chen San finally recovered from the excruciating pain and opened his eyes, he saw his fellow soldiers, all collapsed to the ground, clutching their hands or clutching their feet, wailing in agony.

“Chen San, huh? You should be thankful.”

Fear washed over Chen San. Before he could comprehend what had happened, a shadow suddenly obscured him.

He looked up to see Lu Qing standing before him. His

features, shrouded by the sunlight, seemed unrecognizable.

He could only hear his voice, a hint of indifference.

“You should be thankful I didn’t touch you. I don’t sense you’ve done anything awful.”

“Otherwise, you’d all be corpses floating in the river.”

“Chopping off a limb each is just a minor punishment. If I knew you were still stealing and causing trouble in the nearby villages, it would be more than just a matter of severed limbs.”

Chen San stared at Lu Qing with fear.

He knew then and there that Lu Qing wasn’t the fat sheep they’d assumed he was.

He was someone they couldn’t afford to offend!

The other brothers didn’t dare to scream anymore, looking at Lu Qing with similarly fearful eyes.

They could all tell that Lu Qing wasn’t just talking big.

If they didn’t do as he said, he’d really kill them.

Lu Qing returned to where he’d left his backpack and picked up everything.

Then he continued walking towards the village, never once looking at Chen San and the others.

As if such a bunch of trash wasn’t worth a second glance.

“Remember, don’t let me run into you again, or I’ll cut off your other limbs too.”

Chen San and the others watched Lu Qing’s slowly receding figure, waiting until he was out of sight before they dared to continue their cries of pain.

“Boss, what should we do?”

a younger brother cried, his face filled with sorrow.

“What else can we do? Get up and leave! Didn’t you hear that evil spirit just say that if he sees us again, he’ll cut off our other limbs too?”

“But how are we supposed to get out?” the younger brother burst into tears.

Chen San then noticed that the younger brother’s calf was twisted at a strange angle.

“Even if we can’t leave, we have to leave! Damn it, those with intact legs, stand up!”

Under Chen San’s scolding, the brothers with intact legs reluctantly stood up.

Lu Qing seemed to be doing this on purpose. Half of the six people had broken arms and legs, half had broken arms, so that they could leave.

In the end, the group supported each other, screaming in pain, and left miserably.
