The white-tailed yellow weasel glared viciously at Grandpa, its eyes bloodshot as it bared its teeth at him.
Unfortunately, the roof beam was too high, and Grandpa could not reach it.
Granny Liu said that only by driving this weasel away or killing it could the Second Son of the Zhang Family return to normal. Otherwise, the Second Son of the Zhang Family would inevitably be tormented to death by it, and even Granny Liu would be in danger.
Grandpa was not afraid of this creature. The main reason was that over the past few years, he had basically seen these things every day. They brought things to our house every single day.
To be honest, Grandpa had developed feelings for these yellow weasels and really did not want to attack them too harshly.
Grandpa knew about the connection between these yellow weasels, the foxes, and our family. As long as they did not harm anyone, he could turn a blind eye and let things be. But now one of them had already killed someone and was trying to torment another person. Grandpa could no longer tolerate it.
After a moment, Grandpa dragged over a chair and climbed onto it. He raised the large saber in his hand high and swung it toward the weasel.
He was not trying to kill it. He only wanted to make it leave as quickly as possible.
The weasel was extremely agile, jumping back and forth along the roof beam. Grandpa could not hit it at all. All he managed to do was smash several gaps into the beam.
Just as Grandpa was dealing with the yellow weasel, Granny Liu's voice suddenly came from outside. She shouted at the top of her lungs, "Old Brother Wu, come out! I have something to tell you."
Grandpa glanced at the weasel and had no choice but to jump down from the chair. He hurried into the courtyard and saw that Granny Liu was still fighting with the Second Son of the Zhang Family, who was under the creature's control.
"Little Sister, I saw that yellow weasel. It's crouching on the roof beam. It keeps running back and forth, and I can't catch it," Grandpa said helplessly.
"Stop dealing with that weasel. Go home and bring your grandson here. Perhaps Little Jie can make this yellow weasel leave," Granny Liu shouted loudly.
Grandpa thought about it and felt that it made some sense.
The reason these yellow weasels wanted to deal with the several Zhang brothers was mainly because those brothers had once come to our house. They had slapped me and even beaten my father.
For those people to hit me was equivalent to showing great disrespect toward the Immortal Patron residing inside my body.
All these years, those yellow weasels and foxes had brought food to our house every day. They were not doing it for me, but for that Immortal Patron.
Perhaps if I went over there, I really could persuade this yellow weasel to leave.
While Grandpa was still hesitating, Granny Liu spoke again.
"Old Brother Wu, don't just stand there. Hurry back and bring your grandson here. This old woman can't hold out much longer. The yellow weasel is controlling the Second Son of the Zhang Family, and I don't dare risk taking his life."
Hearing this, Grandpa said, "Little Sister, hold on for a while longer. I'll be back soon."
With that, Grandpa grabbed his saber and rushed home. He pulled me straight out of bed and hurried toward the Second Son of the Zhang Family's house.
Still half-asleep and completely confused about what was happening, I was dragged by Grandpa all the way to the Second Son of the Zhang Family's house.
When I arrived, I had no choice but to walk toward the Second Son of the Zhang Family, who kept lunging at Granny Liu, and softly said, "Second Uncle, stop fighting."
The moment those words left my mouth, the Second Son of the Zhang Family's body visibly slowed. He slowly turned his head and looked at me.
At this moment, Granny Liu took several steps backward and began panting heavily.
After all, she was already old. Having struggled with the Second Son of the Zhang Family, who was under the yellow weasel's control, for so long had clearly exhausted her strength.
As for the Second Son of the Zhang Family, who was being controlled by the yellow weasel, he could not feel tired at all. His physical strength was being pushed to its absolute limit. It was entirely possible that he could literally exhaust himself to death without even realizing it.
The moment I saw the Second Son of the Zhang Family's pale, ghastly eyes, which were covered in blood vessels, I could not help feeling frightened.
"They showed great disrespect toward our Old Ancestor. I must kill them."
The Second Son of the Zhang Family pinched his voice into a very shrill tone as he spoke.
I turned back and looked at Grandpa, not knowing what I should say next.
Grandpa was also stunned for a moment. He had not expected that even my words would not be enough to stop him.
Just then, the white-tailed yellow weasel that had previously been staying on the roof beam suddenly walked out of the house. Its pair of bright red eyes stared directly at me as well.
The moment the white-tailed yellow weasel appeared, another roar came from the Second Son of the Zhang Family's throat. He suddenly charged toward the outside of the courtyard.
"Stop him! Stop him! Don't let him get out!" Granny Liu cried as she hurried after him with her tiny steps.
Grandpa and I blocked the doorway.
Without saying another word, Grandpa charged straight toward the Second Son of the Zhang Family.
Before Grandpa could even raise his saber, the Second Son of the Zhang Family slammed into him and sent him flying.
At this moment, I did not know where I found the courage, but I suddenly grabbed hold of the Second Son of the Zhang Family's pants.
When the Second Son of the Zhang Family ran, he dragged me straight to the ground. The impact hurt so much that I cried out in pain and immediately burst into tears.
Hearing my cries, the Second Son of the Zhang Family suddenly stopped.
To my surprise, he turned around, picked me up from the ground, brushed the dust off my clothes, and then prepared to leave again.
At that moment, I suddenly felt a loud "buzz" in my head. Everything before my eyes began spinning, my vision went black, and I lost consciousness.
Not far away, Grandpa and Granny Liu were astonished to see a gigantic shadow appear behind me as I stood there.
The shadow looked like a fox. It had eight tails, which swayed continuously behind it.
The Second Son of the Zhang Family, who had just turned around, seemed to sense some kind of aura. He slowly turned back and glanced at me.
The next moment, the Second Son of the Zhang Family dropped to his knees, his entire body trembling violently.
"Let's go. Don't continue this any further."
I suddenly spoke, but the voice that came out was that of a beautiful young woman.
"Old Ancestor, this family has shown great disrespect toward you. How can we let them off so easily?"
The Second Son of the Zhang Family buried his head between his hands and spoke with utmost reverence.
"Are you not going to listen to me anymore?"
I spoke again.
"I obey."
The Second Son of the Zhang Family repeatedly kowtowed to me three times, each kowtow striking the ground with a heavy sound.
Not far away, the white-tailed yellow weasel also kowtowed in my direction just like the Second Son of the Zhang Family.
A moment later, the Second Son of the Zhang Family's body swayed, and he collapsed directly onto the ground.
After arriving at the Second Son of the Zhang Family's house, Grandpa and Granny Liu were shocked by how utterly chaotic the place was.
The entire ground was covered in chicken blood. Numerous dead chickens lay scattered haphazardly across the courtyard, and the corpse of a yellow weasel with its head smashed flat was also lying on the ground.
The Second Son of the Zhang Family let out a beast-like growl from his throat and kept lunging toward Granny Liu.
"Xiaojie, quickly make your Second Uncle stop!" Grandpa shouted.
The scene from earlier that day, when the several Zhang brothers had beaten my father, was still vivid in my mind. They had beaten him until his entire head was covered in blood.
Although I was frightened by the way the Second Son of the Zhang Family looked, I could not help feeling a little secretly pleased.
"Grandpa, Second Uncle and the others beat Dad. They even smashed his head open," I said.
"Why are you talking nonsense about that now? Hurry up and make him stop! We can deal with this matter later."
Grandpa urged me impatiently, even giving me a slap on the butt.
