Chapter 167: Wei Yang
years passed.
Wang Xiao was currently outside with Xiao Yun. They were wandering the streets of the village and taking in the view.
Every villager who saw them greeted them with a smile.
"Brother Wang, doesn’t that flower look pretty?" Xiao Yun pointed at a flower on the root of a tree.
Wang Xiao nonchalantly responded, "Sure."
Xiao Yun pouted, she grabbed Wang Xiao’s arm and kissed his cheek.
Wang Xiao was stunned, he hurriedly pushed Xiao Yun away and said, "What are you doing?" This was the first time Xiao Yun had ever done something like this.
"Mother said we will get married in the future, what does a small kiss on the cheek matter?" Xiao Yun hurriedly explained while blushing, even though she did not know why she did it out of impulse.
Wang Xiao was suddenly reminded of Xiao Fei, a person who he did not know anything about, he only felt sorrowful and guilty towards her.
"It does matt-" Wang Xiao was cut off mid-sentence by a cold snort.
A buff-looking youth around 14 years old walked out from behind a nearby house. There were 2 other male youths around the same age behind him.
"Wei Yang, what are you doing here?" Xiao Yun asked in surprise.
"Isn’t it obvious? They follow us here." Wang Xiao answered her question instead. There was a dark expression on his face.
Wei Yang was the son of the village chief. Everybody knew he had a crush on Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun’s parents wanted to betroth Xiao Yun to him but had decided against this after discovering Wei Yang’s insidious nature.
"You are mine. How dare you get intimate with another boy?" Wei Yang instantly barked after making an appearance.
He looked at his 2 followers. They understood the meaning of his gaze.
They rushed towards Wang Xiao. Wang Xiao panicked. He had never been in a fight before. He hurriedly retreated. But then he saw Xiao Yun rooted to the spot. He could not abandon her. ’Silly girl, you’re going to get me killed. Why aren’t you running?’
He decided not to run. He could not leave Xiao Yun behind with a sinister person such as Wei Yang.
Xiao Yun was a defenceless girl, against 3 boys who were older and physically stronger, she could not resist.
Upon seeing Wang Xiao not retreating anymore, delight appeared on Wei Yang’s face.
Wang Xiao did not know how to fight. Subconsciously, he gripped his right hand as if he were wielding a sword. He was stunned, ’Why did I do that?’ He had no time to think about it as the 2 youths arrived before him.
The 2 youths jeered. One of them grabbed Wang Xiao’s arms to restrict him and the other threw out punches and kicks.
Within a few mere moments, Wang Xiao’s face and body were bloodied.
Xiao Yun shrilly screamed, "Stop! Leave him alone!" Despite her efforts, she could do nothing with Wei Yang blocking her way.
Within a mere minute. Wang Xiao was rendered unconscious. His face was almost disfigured and unrecognizable under the heaps of blood. His chest had caved him, and a few of his ribs were broken.
Xiao Yun’s shrill screams paid off in the end. They were heard by a nearby villager who rushed over.
’It’ll be bad if he sees me ravish Xiao Yun, I won’t be able to escape severe punishment from father. Consider yourself lucky girl.’ Wei Yang thought, he originally planned to violate Xiao Yun in front of Wang Xiao before killing him off and disposing of his body. This would leave Xiao Yun’s parents no choice but to marry her off to him. Nobody would want a girl who had been deflowered except for the perpetrator.
However, he couldn’t do so now with a villager approaching them.
"I’ll personally visit your parents to ask for your hand in marriage. Just you wait." After saying this, Wei Yang left with his followers.
Xiao Yun hysterically screamed, "Please help! He’s going to die!" The villager immediately covered Wang Xiao’s wounds with his clothes upon arriving.
"Girl, take me to your parents." The villager mounted Wang Xiao on his back before instructing Xiao Yun.
The villager carried Wang Xiao and escorted Xiao Yun back to their home.
Upon arriving, Xiao Yun’s father burst into a rage when he saw his weeping daughter and the almost beaten death Wang Xiao. "Who did this?!"
"Father, I-it was Wei Yang! Please save Brother Wang." Xiao Yun pleaded with her father to save Wang Xiao. He was about to die from excessive blood loss and injuries.
"Alright, let me treat him first. Then I’ll pay a visit to the village chief." The middle-aged man forced down his anger and thanked the villager who brought his daughter and Wang Xiao back to the house.
