172. Chapter 172: Can't Let Zhao Wulai Speak

After Widow Xu brought Zhao Wang Shi away, the villagers couldn't stop looking at the wooden bucket behind Jiang Wei. It was pitch black inside, and the dense, squirming snake shapes were vaguely visible.

Thinking of the scene just now, the villagers couldn't stop shivering.

There were a few bold villagers who stepped forward and asked cautiously: "Xiaoxiao's mother, you, these snakes are..."

"I caught them on the mountain two days ago." Jiang Wei said calmly, "Rest assured, these snakes are non-venomous. Without my command, they won't hurt people at will."

Seeing Jiang Wei say these snakes were non-venomous, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and didn't continue to ask.

But at this moment, everyone knew in their hearts that Xiaoxiao's mother is a snake-training expert!

With one blow of her small bamboo flute, she could make the snakes obey her words. If anyone in the future is blind and dares to make trouble again, Xiaoxiao's mother will let the snakes bite him!

Even if these snakes are non-venomous and can't bite people to death, so many snakes biting one by one can also make people hurt to death...

Thinking this way, everyone felt scared again, and they didn't want to watch the excitement anymore, hurriedly saying goodbye to the Jiang family and leaving.

Jiang Wei picked up the wooden bucket and returned to the backyard.

Jiang Xiaoxiao followed on the side. She was also terrified of these soft-bodied animals and couldn't help but say: "Mother, when did you raise these snakes?"

She remembered the last time her mother caught snakes was to deal with that Shopkeeper Jia who wanted to forcibly buy her family's snow cake formula.

Jiang Wei looked at her: "I was thinking of raising more small animals and feeding them with your ability water to see if more crystal cores could grow."

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

You call this snake group... small animals?

Forget it, her mother is also for the sake of growing more crystal cores.

However...

"Mother, what was that small bamboo flute you just took?"

"Oh, that was given by a friend of mine before." Jiang Wei said, "She is a spirit-system ability user, and this thing was made by her casually, which can control a small amount of snakes, insects, and poisonous ants."

Jiang Xiaoxiao showed an envious expression.

Spirit-system ability... sounds very strong.

Why is she just a water-system ability?

Although she doesn't understand ability very thoroughly, she has read so many novels and understands some. Water-system ability is more inclined to the auxiliary category, with weak attack power and difficulty in upgrading. If it weren't for the lack of clean water in places like the apocalypse, I'm afraid water-system ability users wouldn't be easy to mix...

"Don't be envious. Although the spirit-system ability is very perverted, people with this ability are usually physically weak and easily injured and killed. If they want to survive, they have to rely on the healing ability of water-system ability users." Jiang Wei said.

"Moreover, water-system ability users have more than just this healing ability. If trained properly, turning water into ice, communicating with heaven and earth water-system energy factors, and condensing clouds into rain with bare hands are all not matters."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was very moved when she heard this. She looked at her tender white little hands and whispered: "When will I have such strong ability..."

She can only condense a small water arrow now, and can't even shoot through a tree hole.

Ah, she also wants that ability to call the wind and rain; just thinking about it is very cool!

"No need to be anxious." Jiang Wei patted her on the shoulder, "As long as you work hard and train diligently, one day you will reach that level."

"Mm!" Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded heavily.

That's right, the future is long. She is still young now, only five years old. As long as she is down-to-earth and takes it step by step, training unremittingly every day, practicing for five, ten, thirty years... one day she will reach that level!

"Oh, by the way, Mother." Jiang Xiaoxiao remembered the slander Widow Xu made against them, "I feel Widow Xu must know something. If they find out that Zhao Wulai had an accident at our house, Zhao Wang Shi will definitely not let it go and will think of other ways to deal with us..."

After all, it's a matter of life and death. If Zhao Wulai can speak one day and points them out, and they go to the government, it won't be easy to handle.

Jiang Wei also darkened her face and pondered: "Absolutely can't let Zhao Wulai speak again..."

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and a plan came to her mind.

Speaking of the other side.

Widow Xu doesn't often do farm work and has little strength. It took her a lot of effort to drag and carry Zhao Wang Shi back home.

As soon as she reached the door, she threw Zhao Wang Shi on the ground, and she herself seemed to be exhausted, collapsing on the ground and gasping for air.

She looked at Zhao Wang Shi on the ground with lingering fear, as if she could still see the dense snake group crawling on her.

After making such a scene, let alone her, Zhao Wang Shi must be scared too, and definitely won't go to Jiang Shi to demand compensation again...

No, she can't stay here!

Zhao Wang Shi won't dare to find Jiang Shi, but she will definitely sell her to a brothel! She must take advantage of now to escape!

Thinking of this, Widow Xu couldn't care about her soft legs and stood up quickly.

However, just as she was about to take a step to run, a pair of withered hands clamped her ankle tightly.

Widow Xu was caught off guard and screamed in fright.

"Little cheap woman, do you think you can run!"

Zhao Wang Shi grabbed Widow Xu's ankle and pulled her, causing her to stumble and fall heavily to the ground.

Then, she leaned over and sat directly on Widow Xu, grabbed her hair, and slapped her several times.

"Little cheap woman, I see your skin is itchy again! You actually dare to escape! Watch me beat you to death today!"

Zhao Wang Shi beat and scolded Widow Xu, as if she wanted to vent all the anger she suffered at the Jiang family on Widow Xu.

"Mother, Mother, Mother, I was wrong, don't beat me anymore..." Facing Zhao Wang Shi's beating and bullying, Widow Xu could only wail and beg for mercy.

If it were in the past, she wouldn't be afraid of an old woman like Zhao Wang Shi who bullies the weak and fears the strong. She even dared to scratch Zhao Wulai a few times, so would she be afraid of this kind of person who is almost half-buried?

But ever since she became pregnant, the first few months weren't bad, but as it went on, her body became weaker day by day. Zhao Wulai's family was poor, and they couldn't even take out an egg. She had no nutrition to nourish her body, and she had no strength at all. Her body was so weak that even an old woman like Zhao Wang Shi could come up and bully her twice.

Ever since Zhao Wulai had the accident, she was forced by Zhao Wang Shi to serve Zhao Wulai with food, drink, and poop, and to serve him with feces and urine, without caring about her growing belly, and she was beaten and scolded at every turn.

Two days ago, she was even forced by Zhao Wang Shi, this heartless old woman, to drink two bowls of abortion medicine. Now her body is even more damaged, and she has no strength to fight back.

Zhao Wang Shi stopped only after she was tired of beating. ===== CHAPTER 173 =====

Zhao Wang Shi only stopped after she was tired from beating.
