Escalating Conflict

T/N: The last of the sponored chapter in the queue! Thank you LittleWolfPup for sponsoring! Although I will try to finish sponsored chapters as soon as possible if they don't get released during the week, they'll be posted over the weekends.

"You dare!" Cui-shi, having gotten counterattacked by Du Xiao Li, said, "You dare report your big brother, I'll let you......"

"You'll let me what? Let me have no home to return to again? Steal our house again? Or, steal our family's land again?" Du Xiao Li mockingly looked to Cui-shi and said, "Our family didn't borrow your money this time, what other ways do you have? Eldest aunt, I need to sweep, so just please return."

Today was the day Du Xiu Heng was returning home. She intended to go pick some grapes back for him to eat after sweeping. That's why she didn't want to bother with Cui-shi. 

Cui-shi was so angered by Du Xiao Li's attitude that her whole body trembled, saying: "No manners, no manners, how can you be like this to an elder?!"

Du Xiao Li was too lazy to look at her, minding her own business and continued sweeping.

This time, Cui-shi was ever more angered. She glanced around the courtyard, discovering that the courtyard was completely empty with only a temporary stove built using two rocks to the side. Placed on the ground nearby were two bamboo baskets. Inside were medical ingredients that weren't done drying.

She'd long heard about Du Xiao Li learning how to dig for medicine from Niu Jing, and even earned quite a bit of money. Looking at it now, it really was like that! She walked over, pretending to carelessly trip, kicking over the bamboo baskets in the process. The medical ingredients inside fell out, and were even stepped on a few times by her. 

Right now, this girl's mouth has become impressive. Since she can't get any advantages, then she'll just vent her anger. 

"Eldest aunt, you!" Du Xiao Li saw her own medical ingredients getting kicked over, and her anger immediately shot up.

As a doctor, she cherished her medical ingredients the most. Seeing Cui-shi kicked them over like that, Du Xiao Li even wanted to directly use the broom to hit her!

"Aiyoo, what is this thing, almost made me fall!" Cui-shi, seeing Du Xiao Li angry, called out and even stomped a few times on the other medical ingredients. 

Du Xiao Li was so angered. Just when she was planning to use the broom to hit Cui-shi, Silver came out from the house, growling towards Cui-shi. It exposed its not fully developed fangs, and its eyes revealed an ominous glint. That ferocious look made Cui-shi subconsciously retreat backwards two steps. 

"Doggy!" As soon as Du Xiao Tian saw Silver, he excitedly ran over, wanting to catch it. 

"Xiao Tian don't go over!" Cui-shi quickly tried to stop him, but Du Xiao Tian already ran over, stretching his two hands out to grab Silver.

"Grr---"

"Ah---"

Silver immediately pounced towards Du Xiao Tian and bit his hand, making him scream out from the pain. 

"Xiao Tian---" Cui-shi, seeing her baby get bit, no longer cared about Silver's ferocious appearance anymore. She quickly ran over to hit it, attempting to save Du Xiao Tian from its mouth.

"Ah--my hand!" Du Xiao Tian screamed.

"You animal, quickly let go!" Seeing that Silver wasn't letting go, Cui-shi picked up a long piece of firewood from the courtyard to beat it. 

When Cui-shi attempted to strike, Du Xiao Li kicked over the rock for the stove, and the pot fell onto the ground. Seeing that she was about to hit Silver, she hurriedly threw down the broom and ran over, immediately hugging onto Cui-shi hand and crying out loud, "Eldest aunt, if you want to hit, hit me instead. Don't hit my family's doggy. It's still small, you'll beat it to death! Wuuwuuu...." 

"Darn brat, let go!" Cui-shi also got anxious, and using the firewood stick that was as thick as an arm, struck towards Du Xiao Li.

When Shi Er, who was currently working at the foot of the mountain, heard the fight, he quickly ran up the mountain, Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he saw Cui-shi waving the stick towards Du Xiao Li's body and shouted.

When Cui-shi had struck down, Du Xiao Li had went forward to block. The firewood stick firmly landed on her arm, and she too began screaming, letting go of Cui-shi. Seeing Cui-shi going towards Silver again, she immediately hugged onto Cui-shi's leg, and tried to pull her backwards. And while Cui-shi wasn't paying attention, she pressed on a spot right under her right kneecap. 

"Eldest aunt, don't hit our family's Silver, it's still small, it'll get beaten to death by you." Du Xiao Li shouted between tears, her face messy with snot and tears. 

Shi Er saw that even though he was there, Cui-shi still struck towards Du Xiao Li. He went into the courtyard, forcibly grabbed the firewood stick in her hand and snatched it over.

"Silver, did you get hit? Wuuwuu, Silver, where does it hurt, Silver, we're so pitiful...." Du Xiao Li saw Shi Er enter, and quickly carried Silver far from Cui-shi, letting him think that she was frightened by Cui-shi. But in actuality, it was just for the sake of making Silver let go of Du Xiao Tian. 

"Son, son, how are you?" After Cui-shi was freed from Du Xiao Li, she immediately crouched down to hold her precious son. Seeing the two holes from the bite on his hand, she cried out with a scream.

Just like that, one held onto her son, and one held onto her wolf, bawling out right in the courtyard. 

Very soon, another group of villagers came up the mountain and saw the mess in the courtyard. The medical ingredients were scattered everywhere, the temporary stove in the corner of the courtyard was kicked over, and the put was flipped over on the ground. And Du Xiao Li was hugging her dog and pitifully crying in a corner. No matter how one looks at it, it all looks like having been wrecked by someone. 

Someone saw that Du Xiao Tian was bleeding and quickly went to inform Niu Jing. Someone also went to inform the village cheif.

Leng Yi and Leng Er were training in the courtyard as usual. Han Ming Yi was reading a book under the eaves, and Ji Liu Feng, who was bored to death, was lying on his guifei couch napping. And Niu Jing was in the house reading medical books. 

A villager urgently ran over, even shouting outside the courtyard, "Doctor Niu, Doctor Niu, quickly come take a look, at Du Xiao Li's house, some-someone got hurt."

Leng Yi and Leng Er stopped, and Leng Er looked to the villager and asked, "The girl got hurt?"

"Yes, yes...." The villager, because having ran urgently, spoke stammering. 

"Li girl got injured?" Niu Jing came out and asked.

Han Ming Yi put down the book in hand, and his sharp brows slightly creased. Ji Liu Feng also sat up, asking: "How did that girl get hurt?"

The villager paused for a breath, and then said, "No, not that, Xiao Li didn't get injured, it's Xiao Tian that's injured. He's currently at Xiao Li's house, please go over and examine him." 

"Wait for me for a moment, I'll go get my medicine case." Niu Jing said and entered the house. When he came out, there was a medicine case over his shoulder. 

"Why is he at the girl's house? And even got hurt, don't tell me the girl's also hurt?" Leng Er said.

Han Ming Yi heard Leng Er's words. He put down the book in hand and stood up, saying: "Let's also go see then."
