Upon hearing these words, the color drained from Sun Family’s face, and she exclaimed, “Sir, he is deliberately opposing you because he doesn’t respect you!”
“Sir, if you don’t believe me, you can ask the others present.” Tong Tiehu continued.
“Other people? They are your villagers, naturally they’d listen to you.” Cen Hong coldly huffed.
Upon hearing this, Tong Tiehu maintained his composure, “Sir Cen, such accusations are too heavy for someone as insignificant as me to bear.”
“Too heavy to bear? I see that you are, in essence, disrespecting me, looking to humiliate me.” Cen Hong snorted and lashed his horsewhip towards Tong Tiehu!
“Grandfather!” Tong Sanrang gasped, moving as fast as lightning, he dashed forward and with a hair’s breadth, grabbed Tong Tiehu by the arm and pulled him out of the whip’s reach.
“Nice move!” Cen Hong laughed as he let go of the dog leash, leapt from his horse and swung his whip towards Tong Sanrang, “I’ve been wanting to test your abilities, don’t hold back!”
Seeing this, Tong Sanrang slightly furrowed his brows, set Tong Tiehu aside at the threshing floor’s border, and prepared to strike back.
The reason for Cen Hong’s visit this time was overtly to stir up trouble, no room for retreat.
The two quickly went into a skirmishing dance, scaring the bystanders.
Having never seen such a scene before, they froze in place.
Meanwhile, the big black dog that Cen Hong had released, bared its teeth and started barking loudly.
Once one dog started barking, the remaining three began joining in.
In no time at all, the whole threshing floor was filled with the sound of barking dogs.
Many families in the village kept dogs too, but at that moment, seeing the four ferocious, half-human-sized black dogs bearing their teeth, the villagers felt a chill run down their spine, slowly retreating, trying to get as far away from the center of events as possible.
Initially, Sun Family’s lady was already kneeling in front of Cen Hong’s horse. With the big dog already out of control and barking right next to her, she found herself paralyzed with fear.
Qiao Xiaomai stood next to Mrs. Sun, upon witnessing this, she furrowed her brows and slowly started to back away as well.
She was not afraid of dogs, but with the big black dog barking in front of her, its sharp teeth shining under the sunlight, it sent a chill down her spine.
In this godforsaken place, there’d be no rabies vaccines if one were to get bitten by a dog, you might as well await death.
“Oh, dear niece, are you scared?” Sun Junyan, sitting on his horse, sneered at her reaction.
Qiao Xiaomai sidelong glanced at him, “Hmm, yes, I’m scared.”
“I wouldn’t have guessed based on your audacious behavior of demanding to go to the Academy and constantly appealing to the County Government Office.” Sun Junyan remarked sarcastically.
“No choice. Surrounded by five dogs, I’m scared of being bitten.” replied Qiao Xiaomai, her voice frosty.
Five dogs?
After a moment, Sun Junyan furrowed his brows, then quickly realized he was being described as a dog by her, his face darkening with rage.
“Twenty-eight!” He angrily flicked his whip.
The initially unruly big black dog immediately turned its head towards Qiao Xiaomai upon hearing the number.
Its front paws dug at the ground, with its head lowered, it started to growl.
Qiao Xiaomai frowned and reached into her bosom.
Qiao Changshun, who was limping behind Qiao Xiaomai, saw this and immediately collapsed onto the ground, calling out anxiously, “Xiaomai, run, run quickly!”
As soon as he spoke, Sun Junyan snapped his whip once more, yelling, “Twenty-eight!”
Upon hearing this number, the big black dog immediately pounced towards Qiao Xiaomai, its mouth wide open.
“Xiaomai!” Qiao Changshun shouted desperately.
