Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: The Crime of Gender 15

Qin Shuangshuang looked terrified and was covered in blood; if it were dark, she could easily pass for a fierce ghost. She rushed out with an extremely horrifying appearance, originally planning to cry out pitifully to draw the attention of the village chief and others.

Who would've thought that Qin Shuangshuang's appearance was too striking. As soon as she stepped out, before she could make a sound, she was startled into silence by an unexpected, extremely shrill and unimaginable scream!

The scream came from the Eldest Lady inside the courtyard! Initially, the Eldest Lady and Si Lang and Wulang stood close to the edge outside, fearfully listening to Old Chen inside the house cursing Qin Shuangshuang in every possible way!

Although they felt nervous, these scenes were too familiar to the younger ones, so they weren't overly terrified. The Eldest Lady even took a moment to worry about Qin Shuangshuang, wondering if her temperamental sister would once again confront Old Chen!

Before the Eldest Lady's worries were over, she, Si Lang, and Wulang saw Old Chen, in the house, suddenly grab a kitchen knife while cursing and madly hacking at Qin Shuangshuang! The first stroke cut off Qin Shuangshuang's hair, and then Old Chen turned around, back facing the doorway…

Before the Eldest Lady, Si Lang, and Wulang could process the sudden attack, they saw Old Chen, her back against them, raise her right hand high with the kitchen knife, the blade reflecting a cold light in the sun! It sent shivers down the spine of whoever watched!

Old Chen's knife-wielding hand mercilessly swung down again! The hearts of those outside, including the Eldest Lady, leapt violently, but they couldn't see exactly what was happening inside as their view was blocked by Old Chen's back!

But soon enough, they realized what was happening inside because, after Old Chen swung the knife down, Qin Shuangshuang immediately dashed out covered in blood, looking terrifying!

Si Lang and Wulang were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground, unable even to shout, only staring wide-eyed at the blood-drenched Qin Shuangshuang in terror, their bodies weak and trembling!

The Eldest Lady was slightly better; she could still manage to stand but was equally scared by Qin Shuangshuang's appearance! The Eldest Lady didn't know the extent of Qin Shuangshuang's injuries, she only saw a large wound on Qin Shuangshuang's neck and her body covered in blood!

The Eldest Lady had never witnessed a murder, but she had seen chicken slaughtering; during the New Year, Old Chen forced Mrs. Bai to kill a chicken. Mrs. Bai didn't dare to do it, and Old Chen insulted her, using the most offensive language.

Mrs. Bai was eventually forced by Old Chen's cursing into reluctantly slicing the chicken's neck with her eyes closed!

The result was the chicken ran around the courtyard with a slit throat and blood splattering everywhere! It escaped for quite a while, but finally, it collapsed to the ground, kicking in vain after losing all its blood and died!

Now in the eyes of the Eldest Lady, Qin Shuangshuang's appearance overlapped with that of the chicken killed by Mrs. Bai running around the courtyard, making the Eldest Lady extremely scared!

The Eldest Lady only thought that Qin Shuangshuang was going to die! Like that chicken slaughtered by Mrs. Bai, sliced on the neck by Old Chen, running around the courtyard, and when the blood runs out, she'll die!

Filled with the thought that Qin Shuangshuang would die, the Eldest Lady, overwhelmed by fear, instinctively let out an ear-piercing, shrill scream!

This scream was so loud that Qin Shuangshuang, who was closest, was shocked with ringing ears. Estimated initial calculations suggest at least half of the village heard it! After the Eldest Lady's high-pitched, prolonged scream, overcome by the shock and exhaustion, she directly collapsed limply to the ground!

The Eldest Lady's scream was highly effective; not only did it prompt the village chief and others outside to hasten their steps and run over, but even inside, the dazed Old Chen was jolted back to her senses!

Once she regained her sense, Old Chen looked up to see outside, past the sparse fence, the village chief and a group of people rushing toward her courtyard with serious expressions. In an instant, Old Chen's sanity disappeared again!

This time, it wasn't anger that clouded Old Chen's mind but fear!

At this moment, there was only one thought in Old Chen's mind: the people rushing in outside were close to Qin Shuangshuang. If they discovered that Qin Shuangshuang had been hacked by her, it would be impossible to settle peacefully; she should quickly hide Qin Shuangshuang from the courtyard! No one must see!

Thinking this, Old Chen stepped straight toward Qin Shuangshuang, who was escaping out of the courtyard, and perhaps due to immense tension, she didn't let go of the kitchen knife in her hand, wielding it as if she were chasing to murder!

At this moment, Old Chen's image was terrifyingly gruesome; the kitchen knife in her hand was drenched in Qin Shuangshuang's blood, and droplets of blood trickled down the cold-glowing blade with her every move.

Old Chen pursued fiercely, chasing after the stumbling and blood-stained half-red Qin Shuangshuang ahead!

Her expression was twisted by mixed fear and lingering malice, with greying hair loosened and disheveled, some strands even stuck with Qin Shuangshuang's blood!

Those blood-stained strands brushed against Old Chen's face, smearing Qin Shuangshuang's fresh blood on it, paired with Old Chen's sallow complexion and contorted features, her image appeared like an Evil Ghost crawling out of Hell, extremely horrifying!

The Eldest Lady in the courtyard, seeing Old Chen like that, was so frightened she let out another short scream and then fainted directly, terrified unconscious by Old Chen's appearance!

Si Lang and Wulang, who originally hid behind the Eldest Lady, were frightened like a pair of little quails, trembling and barely dared to breathe heavily!

Now they saw their refuge, the Eldest Lady, faint and, momentarily lost without support, faced with the terrifyingly gruesome Old Chen right in front, unbearably terrified, they both burst into loud crying!

Both cried while dragging themselves backward on the ground using hands and feet! Their faces were streaked with tears mixed with snot!

Qin Shuangshuang was not scared; she saw Old Chen wielding the kitchen knife, terrifyingly chasing, but instead of being frightened, she felt secretly pleased, for now it would undoubtedly garner evidence.

Seeing the group of village chief and others rushing at quicker steps into the courtyard, Qin Shuangshuang's face immediately filled with terror and panic, running directly towards the village chief like a drowning person seeing a lifeline!

"Village chief grandpa! Save me! My granny wants to kill me, village chief grandpa! Save me!"

Qin Shuangshuang screamed heart-wrenchingly and pitifully, coupled with her bloody and tragic appearance, the people outside grew more anxious, not even waiting to unlock the courtyard door but kicked it open directly by the village chief and Qin Sheng, storming inside.

Qin Shuangshuang stumbled to the village chief, crying out for help, her body went weak intending to feign severe injury and fainting!

But as soon as Qin Shuangshuang's body began to weaken, before she could collapse, she was startled again by a woman's shrill shout!
