As soon as the words were spoken, in the illumination of two lanterns outside, there stood Second Master Liu, his face twisted with rage, holding a club, striking the person on the floor repeatedly.
The person lay on the ground motionless, not making a sound as the club hit.
The small figure was wearing her third brother's old clothes, and Xiao Lian Hua recognized it.
"Xiao Hua Mei!" she screamed, suddenly getting up, attempting to rush over.
Cui Sanniang was prepared; with a wave of her hand, Xiao Cui along with the other two girls sprang into action. The other two swiftly each grabbed an arm tightly holding Xiao Lian Hua, while Xiao Cui held her legs, forcing Xiao Lian Hua down onto the cabin floor.
