Murder!... Mu Shuangshuang's murdering someone...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person beneath her started shrieking like a pig being slaughtered; Mrs. Lin was weak all over, her legs twitching uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Shuangshuang was no better off; having exerted merely a hint of strength, she didn't even have enough to rise. This body... was unbelievably weak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Struggling up, Jian Shuangshuang kicked the person on the ground again, prompting more screams from Mrs. Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Shuangshuang's head hurt, as did her abdomen, especially her stomach; she had no idea how long it had been since this body last ate, causing her to see stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, Jian Shuangshuang forced herself to stay alert, and surveyed the mud houses. The solitary one on the far right looked like a kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wall-exposed windows were blackish, clearly from smoke and grease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Shuangshuang headed into the kitchen, searched through it entirely, but found nothing to fill her stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grabbing the teapot from the table, she filled her stomach with water, finally gaining some strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She picked up the scissors on the table, and returned to the woman who had trampled her before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where's the nearest stream?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This body was too dirty, not just the body but even the hair; Jian Shuangshuang didn't even have the courage to take a peek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hair hung on either side, already matted, glistening with a shiny film under the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More disgusting than the loofah sponge she had seen on the stove earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, cleaning up first was imperative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hungry can be fed, injuries can be healed, but if she continued bearing this filth, she'd surely stink herself to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where's the nearest stream, somewhere less crowded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Shuangshuang added another sentence, not waiting for Mrs. Lin to speak, brought the scissors close to Mrs. Lin's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp tip was barely half an inch from Mrs. Lin's eye, startling her into answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Village... village... north...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Shuangshuang nodded in satisfaction; she liked obedient \"suspects,\" but stepping on her chest remained unforgivable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a big step forward, her foot landed squarely on the leg she had struck, then twisted her leg...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another round of pig-like wailing followed; clutching her leg, Mrs. Lin teared from the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, once someone touches the nerve, one's strength vanishes completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mu Shuangshuang, you wretched thing, you damn wench... you...

Ohhh, it hurts so bad...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Shuangshuang ignored the shrieking behind her; once she exited the courtyard, and reached the road, she found herself too exhausted to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her stomach churned, all the water she drank turned into weapons torturing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yikes, isn't that Old Mu Family's third daughter's eldest, how come she's out again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A guy who had just finished his work and was about to head home saw Jian Shuangshuang, covered his nose, and spoke to the people around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who doesn't know it's that stinking thing, do you really need to point it out?\" replied someone beside him bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Talking about that stench, Old Mu Family's fate is truly cursed, to have birthed such an ugly, filthy mess!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heard she's one who won't budge, sits in the same spot all day, doesn't move an inch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if struck by lightning, won't change position; you tell me, how could a girl like this, so dirty, so lazy, ever find someone willing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang was Er Gui Village's oddity, aged thirteen but looked like a ten-year-old kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe eating so little was to blame; standing there, she looked like a dry twig, easily swept away by the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, with Mu Shuangshuang always reeking, not greeting anyone, folks in the village naturally disliked her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Er Gui Village was notoriously poor, with more mountains than fields; harvests were low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, after years of warfare and constant upheaval, many men were seized by the army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With fewer laborers, Er Gui Village grew even poorer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most village women chose to marry men from their own village, increasing connections and relationships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People cared about this, greeting each other and such, yet Mu Shuangshuang's refusal to speak was a grave offense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone will want her; I heard the baby broker is looking for a wife for Wang San, who at fifty has yet to find one.
