Chapter 6 Send some snakes, insects, rats and ants to the Luo family

Old Man Luo looked deeply at Li Zhaodi, his voice a mixture of anger and amusement, “Haixia, don’t go out to work. She’s been in our Luo family for so many years and hasn’t gone out to work. If she goes out now, people outside will gossip. Just stay home and cook.” Seeing that her husband had spoken, Old Lady Luo didn’t say anything. Besides, they didn’t need that extra work points. Now that Luo Xingci wasn’t home, Wu Haixia could cook the meals from now on.

 The matter was settled. Wu Haixia looked at Li Zhaodi defiantly, a smug look in her eyes. See, the old hag was on Li Zhaodi’s side, but the real head of the family was on her, Wu Haixia’s side. Otherwise, why would she have dared to speak like that just now? After dinner, Wu Haixia took the bowls and chopsticks to wash them. As she washed, she cursed, “Luo Xingci, you bitch, if I find you, you’re dead. You dare to defy me! I’m going to find you an old and ugly husband.” If she wasn’t afraid of being found out after marriage, she would have wanted to find a group of old men to play with that bitch. That damn bitch! Then she thought again. As long as the old bachelors had a wife, they wouldn’t care about whether she was a virgin or not. But she would definitely ask for more dowry, at least three hundred yuan. More than that, she wouldn’t want it. She had raised her for so long, and a dowry of only a few dozen yuan would be a loss! Compared to the chaos in the Luo family, Luo Xingci’s side was much more comfortable. She first took a nice bath in her space, then roasted a chicken and had a delicious meal. After a good sleep, she got up to exercise.

Luo Xingci first ran on the empty ground in her space, then punched the punching bag. Finally, she left her space and went to the woods behind the house. Looking at the dense forest, with a ten-meter gap between each tree, she realized that she needed to practice her strength, fighting skills, and footwork. She ran through the woods until nightfall before returning to the house. As night fell, the house became even more gloomy and terrifying, but Luo Xingci wasn’t afraid at all. She wondered if the Luo family would miss her, knowing that she had been gone all day. She took some rat and snake poison from her space. In no time, she had filled a snakeskin bag with snakes, insects, and rats. Under the cover of night, she carried the snakeskin bag and quietly returned to the Luo family. The Luo family was already asleep and didn’t know that Luo Xingci had brought them a gift. Luo Xingci looked at the closed door and let out a sinister laugh. Then, she took out her key and opened the door. Fortunately, Old Lady Luo had given her a key as well.

The Luo family’s house was quite large. There were five large rooms and three smaller ones, so each child in the family had their own room, but she was only allowed to live in the small dark room. She carried the snakeskin bag inside, first going to Old Lady Luo’s room. She took out the bag filled with rats and opened the window, throwing the rats onto the bed. Then, she locked the window. Next, she went to the room of Luo Lao Er and his wife. She released some caterpillars before turning around and going to Wu Haixia’s room. Looking at her scumbag father and stepmother, who were sleeping like dead pigs, Luo Xingci glared at them with hatred. Then, she threw the snakes in the snakeskin bag onto the bed.

The snakes scattered all over the floor, some crawling towards Wu Haixia, some twisting and crawling on the ground. “Hmm, Jianmin, don’t be silly, I’m tired.” Wu Haixia thought it was Luo Jianmin who wanted more, so she reached out to push him away. But why did it feel strange? She didn’t think much of it, after all, she was tired. Luo Xingci took a broom from outside and placed it across the door before disappearing from the Luo family. Back home, she took a bath in her space and went to sleep. In the middle of the night, a scream tore through the air. “Ah! There are snakes, there are so many snakes in my room, woohoo!” Wu Haixia finally realized something was wrong. She reached out and grabbed one. The snake looked back at her and hissed. She was so scared that she threw the snake away. Luo Jianmin was also awakened by her scream. He was about to curse at her, but through the moonlight, he also saw snakes crawling on the bed. There were countless snakes on the ground.

He was so scared that his scalp tingled. He couldn’t get out of bed, and he couldn’t stay in bed. “Jianmin, hurry up and open the door. Who the hell put them in here? Woohoo, I’m scared to death.” Wu Haixia jumped onto a stool, her face turning white. Luo Jianmin immediately rushed to open the door, but it was locked from the outside. He turned around with a mournful face, “The door is locked, let’s jump out the window.” When he got to the window, he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t open the window, which usually creaked. “It’s all locked, what do we do?” There were a bunch of snakes in the room. Anyone would be scared, let alone a weak and helpless man like him. “Shout loudly, our parents will hear us and come to save us.” But they didn’t know that Old Man Luo and Old Lady Luo were in trouble themselves. “Ah, what is this? Why are there so many rats in the house? There’s one over there by the old man, ah, there’s another one jumping on your head, ouch…” Old Man Luo and Old Lady Luo were chasing rats around the room with sticks and brooms. The rats couldn’t escape, and they couldn’t beat them. They didn’t know where Luo Xingci had found those rats, but they were all big. Luo Lao Er’s side was equally miserable.

They were awakened by the screams. They wanted to go out and see what was going on, but the door was locked and the window wouldn’t open. And there seemed to be many furry insects crawling on the bed. They were so scared they almost lost control of their bowels. It wasn’t until dawn that the neighbor next door saw that the Luo family’s door had been locked all day. The two families had a good relationship, so they opened the door and went in to see what was going on. As soon as they saw the scene inside, they ran away. Snakes, ants, and rats were running out of the house. If you didn’t know better, you would think you were in a place with a disease.

The Luo family members all had various cuts and wounds, and Luo Jianmin and Wu Haixia had been bitten by snakes several times. They didn’t know if they were poisonous snakes. Once they were free, the whole family rushed out. When they reached a safe place, they sat down and gasped for breath. “Father, Mother, what happened? Our rooms were full of snakes last night, we were scared to death, woohoo!” Thinking back to last night’s terrifying scene, Wu Haixia didn’t dare to sleep at home tonight. Fortunately, her son wasn’t home.

Old Lady Luo’s hair was messy, and she looked ten years older. Her eyes were vicious, “You ask me, how would I know? If I knew, I would skin her alive.” “Do you think it was Luo Xingci who did it? Who else has a grudge against our family?” Li Zhaodi said angrily, her face full of bumps.
