Chapter 77: Chapter 77 Brothers, how exciting!
With Zhang Xiaohu’s right hand returning, there wasn’t just the crude fishing rod he had fashioned himself.
There was also a black, writhing mass, one end of which was still hanging midair and twisting slowly.
That thing was tightly attached to his wrist.
But because it was so large and long, not only did it cover half of Zhang Xiaohu’s hand, a large part of it was still exposed.
Just as Jiang Yan was about to enter the fire escape, she saw this scene, her pupils contracting as her footsteps abruptly halted.
That was an even larger-sized leech.
When a leech first attaches to human skin, there is no pain felt, only a tickling sensation.
However, that was before leeches had mutated.
Now, with this leech being so large and covering a significant area of his skin, not to mention the weight and the distinct feeling of it hanging down, it was obvious.
Zhang Xiaohu should have been aware of it.
Unless he was afraid of his mother’s scolding and thus didn’t dare to look back to see what the weight on his hand was.
The woman obviously saw it too, and she let out a sharp and ghostly shriek, “My God!”
“Smack!”
Another slap rained down on Zhang Xiaohu’s face!
The woman, with a mournful and violent air, berated, “What the hell are you holding in your hand now?! Please, can you give me some peace of mind?!
If this goes on, sooner or later you and your father are going to drive me insane!!! Do you only feel happy by tormenting me to death?!!”
“...” This bizarre scene left Jiang Yan speechless and wide-eyed:
“Big sister, your son has been bitten by a bloodsucking leech, shouldn’t you be getting the leech off him first?”@@@@
When she accidentally broke a bowl or fell while walking as a child, her parents also had angry expressions.
They almost always scolded her for not holding things steadily or for not watching where she was going and tearing her pants, never once asking if she had cut her hand or hurt herself from the fall.
But her parents actually did cherish her deeply, and it was also a simpler and rougher way of parenting back in those days.
She never expected that more than a decade later, this person would be the same.
“I am disciplining my child, what does it have to do with you?!! When you reach my age and live a life full of chaos, you’ll be even worse than me!!”
The woman glared fiercely at Jiang Yan, then her pupils constricted as she realized what the black, slimy creature was:
“A leech??”
She reflexively stretched out her hand to pull at the leech.
“Don’t pull!”
Supporting himself with the stick, he slowly crouched down, skillfully tied the bag tight, and with a “bang,” threw it into the house.
Under Jiang Yan’s incredulous gaze, the man picked himself up, returned to the window with his cane, and stuck his head out.
He quickly turned around to address Jiang Yan:
“Girl, these leeches were discovered by my son after he maimed his hand for it. If you dare tell anyone else in this building about it, I’ll make you regret it!”
“Heh! I live just as many lives as you, just come and try!” Jiang Yan said coldly, not deigning to argue any further with such a person. She turned and headed upstairs.
Clearly, the man was planning on using these mutated leeches as food.
Which sounded somewhat unimaginable.
However, during times of famine, there were people who ate leaves, bark, and even “buddha’s soil” to fill their stomachs.
What’s more, this was fresh, high-protein food delivered right to their doorstep.
She feared leeches, but that didn’t mean others did too.
If these leeches were dealt with by him, it could actually reduce her troubles substantially.
Thinking this, Jiang Yan felt much lighter.
At this moment, having confirmed there was no one around, she directly willed the flashlight from the Space and illuminated the dark corridor, taking quick strides towards the upper floors.
When she reached the 19th floor, she heard the sounds of a man and a woman engaged in unspeakable acts coming from behind the fire escape door.
They must have been on the floor of the hallway, and the noises were not faint.
Jiang Yan twisted her brows. In broad daylight...
Just as she was about to continue upwards, she heard heavy and disordered footsteps coming towards the direction of the fire escape.
“Holy shit, Zhang San, you’re really something! Doing it right in front of everyone, huh!”
“Brothers, this is exciting!!”
“Hey! It’s better to be happy together! Count me in too!”
“...”
A group of people were jabbering away, and from their voices, they all seemed quite young.
Judging by their vulgar language, they didn’t seem like they were residents of Building A.
Jiang Yan’s brow furrowed tighter, and recalling the figures she had seen on a rainy night before, she hastened her pace up the stairs.
She had only made it halfway when the fire escape door was pushed open with a “clang.”
A burly man with scars on his face came in.
From the way he reached for his waist, he was probably coming to the hallway to relieve himself.
Clearly noticing Jiang Yan’s silhouette, his mouth curled into a sinister smile and he said with a sneer,
“Hey, sweetheart, you weren’t hiding behind the door just watching us, were you?!”
