The 60s Island: The Daily Life of a Capitalist Young Lady with the Army - Chapter 85: Aaaaah—My Arm!!!

Chapter 85: Aaaaah—My Arm!!!

Blood trickled down Li Hong’s smooth forehead in a winding path.

Drop by drop.

It fell on the dry, hardened earth, soaking into small dark stains.

Li Hong’s eyes remained wide open, her pupils filled with confusion and disbelief.

It seemed… she hadn’t yet registered the pain.

In the courtyard, the female soldiers who had been righteous and ready to swarm forward moments earlier now appeared to have been collectively struck by a paralysis spell.

Everyone was stunned.

Their mouths hung open wide enough to fit an egg, their eyes fixed unblinkingly on the blood on Li Hong’s forehead and the bloodstained brick in Xu Xiangsi’s hand.

She’s insane.

This woman is insane!

How dare she… How could she actually dare to hit someone?!

Yet Xu Xiangsi gave them no time to process or react.

Under everyone’s horrified gazes, she moved.

Without even glancing at Li Hong, she twisted her wrist and swung the bloodied brick, aiming directly at Bai Rumeng—who was being held by two female soldiers closest to her!

Her motion was swift, precise, and ruthless!

Without the slightest hesitation!

“Ah—!”

Someone let out a terrified scream first.

Bai Rumeng reacted a fraction of a second faster than that fool Li Hong.

Survival instinct made her jerk her head aside at the critical moment!

“Crack—!”

A sickening crunch of bone echoed.

The brick grazed past her temple and slammed heavily into her left shoulder!

“Aaaaah—my arm!!!”

In the next instant, a shriek more piercing than a slaughtered pig’s cry shattered the tranquility of the entire military compound!

Bai Rumeng’s face contorted in agony, cold sweat instantly drenching her.

It was an excruciating, bone-deep pain, as if her entire shoulder had been shattered!

Seeing her missed strike, Xu Xiangsi clicked her tongue impatiently.

That crisp, disdainful sound landed clearly in everyone’s ears, brimming with undisguised regret and disappointment.

As if saying: How useless, you actually managed to dodge that.

Her gaze, icy and oppressive, slowly swept over the remaining six female soldiers.

That look wasn’t directed at fellow soldiers—it was the gaze one might cast upon a herd of foolish, doomed prey.

“Oh my god!”

Finally, one of the more timid soldiers couldn’t withstand the terrifying pressure any longer, her mental defenses completely collapsing.

She shrieked, released Bai Rumeng in a panic, and scrambled frantically toward the courtyard exit!

With one taking the lead, the others snapped back to reality.

Run!

Run fast!

This Xu Xiangsi is a madwoman who doesn’t value her life!

The other female soldiers instantly scattered like frightened birds, rushing out in disarray.

Only Fang Jie and one slightly braver soldier remained frozen in place, their faces deathly pale, trembling like leaves in an autumn gale.

“Xu Xiangsi! You… you actually dared to assault someone!”

The soldier pointed a shaking finger at her, voice quivering.

“This is intentional injury! You’ll be arrested for this! You’ll go to jail!”

Hearing this, a profoundly mocking smile finally curled on Xu Xiangsi’s pale lips.

She smirked disdainfully, her expression full of contempt: “Weren’t you the ones shouting about arresting me the moment you stepped through the door?”

With a single sentence, she choked off all the remaining words in the other person’s throat.

The female soldier’s face instantly flushed to the color of pig liver. She stammered “you… you…” for a long time, unable to utter a single word.

Yes.

That’s what they had said.

But that was just… empty talk!

At that moment, Li Hong, who had been standing frozen in place, finally snapped out of her shock and excruciating pain.

She reached up and touched her forehead, her hand coming away warm and sticky with blood.

Blood! She was bleeding!

This Fox spirit she looked down on the most had cracked her skull open with a brick!

“Ah—!!!”

Li Hong let out a sharp, piercing scream, her eyes instantly turning red and bloodshot.

Humiliation and intense pain, like two raging fires, completely burned away her last shred of rationality.

Ignoring the blood still streaming down her face, she charged toward Xu Xiangsi like an enraged beast, completely mad!

“You bitch! How dare you hit me! I’ll kill you! I swear I’ll kill you today—!”

Xu Xiangsi’s eyes turned sharp.

Facing the charging Li Hong, she didn’t retreat but instead stepped forward, tightening her grip on the half-brick in her hand, her arm muscles tensing as she prepared to deliver another solid blow to Li Hong’s head!

In that split second!

“Stop—!”

A thunderous roar, filled with fury, exploded from nearby!

That voice was so familiar it made Xu Xiangsi’s heart tremble.

It was Long Peiye!

He was back!

Almost the moment the sound faded, all the sharpness and madness in Xu Xiangsi’s ice-cold, fiery eyes vanished completely.

In their place was a clarity and panic as if washed clean by water.

“Clang—”

The half-brick that had nearly cost two people their lives was thrown to the ground as if it were a hot potato.

Pivoting on the muddy ground, her body—weakened by prolonged illness—suddenly displayed astonishing agility.

Without even glancing at the crazed Li Hong charging at her, she simply sidestepped lightly and dodged the attack.

Then, before anyone could react, her legs gave way, and she sank straight to the ground, squatting.

She hugged her knees, burying her face deeply in them, her thin shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

A faint, pitiful sobbing sound escaped from the crook of her arm.

“Wah… please stop hitting me…”

“I was wrong… I really know I was wrong…”

“Please, just let me go… wah…”

The sound of her crying was heartbreaking.

But at this moment, how could Li Hong hear even half a word?

Her mind was filled only with the scalding blood on her forehead and the humiliation that cut deep into her bones!

All she knew was that today, either Xu Xiangsi would die, or she would!

“I’ll kill you, you bitch!”

Li Hong’s eyes were terrifyingly red. She didn’t even notice the tall figure that had appeared at the courtyard gate. She stretched out her sharp claws and viciously grabbed for the hair of Xu Xiangsi, who was crouched on the ground!

However, her hand ultimately found nothing but air.

A dark figure, accompanied by a gust of cold, fierce wind, flashed past her!

Long Peiye had arrived!

He had practically charged in!

Upon entering the courtyard, he was met with this scene—his frail wife, who had been too ill to leave her bed, was crouched on the ground trembling and sobbing, surrounded by a group of female soldiers, while that Li Hong, her face covered in blood, was lunging at her like a madwoman!
