The whole family is insanely eavesdropping on my thoughts Chapter 567
Chapter 567: Shan Shan’s Breakdown
“Hurry up! What are you dawdling for? The sun will rise soon!” Lu Chao Chao grabbed him and dragged him to the chicken coop, placing a wooden bucket at his feet.
Then…
She moved a chair, propped it against the doorway, letting the night breeze waft in and disperse the stench.
Reclining on the rattan chair, she swayed drowsily, half-conscious.
“Kill them quickly, don’t waste time.”
Over a hundred chickens awaited their fate…
“We have to finish before dawn. It’s a job that makes money and lets you legally indulge your instincts. I truly am a genius…” she muttered lazily, even taking the time to praise herself.
An eight-month-old child could not walk yet, only crawl.
Right now, he sat before the chicken coop, attempting to crawl away, but Lu Chao Chao blocked the exit.
At less than a year old, he acted entirely on instinct. His instinct summoned living creatures; his instinct took lives. But now…
Sitting before the chicken coop, he looked as though he was about to cry.
Shan Shan pursed his lips, stubbornly holding back tears.
Under the tyranny of Lu Chao Chao, he dared not resist. He hated that he was only eight months old, too weak to fight back. With no choice, he swallowed his grievances and joined in.
He grabbed a chicken, sank his tiny teeth into its feathers, and bit until his mouth was full of blood.
Drip, drip, drip—he let the blood flow before tossing the lifeless body into the corner.
That night, he did not sleep.
Numbly, he sat inside the chicken coop, killing, draining blood… draining blood, killing—repeating the cycle over and over.
Before, every time he took a life, his body would tremble with excitement. The power of deciding life and death thrilled him, making him revel in the sensation…
But now…
Looking at the dense mass of chickens and ducks before him, he saw only darkness ahead—nothing but suffering.
His mouth had gone numb. His teeth throbbed with pain. His cheeks ached so badly he dared not move them. Yet, the coop still held so many chickens and ducks…
Mumbling incoherently in his baby speech, he cursed under his breath.
By the time the first light of dawn broke the horizon, there were still dozens of chickens left. Meanwhile, Lu Chao Chao…
Sleepily rubbed her eyes and sat up.
“Are you done? It’s time to deliver the goods.” She yawned, her voice drowsy and slurred. At the sound of her voice, Rong Xiang Shan visibly shuddered.
And then—
A wail of utter despair shook the heavens.
His tiny mouth, still stained with blood, opened wide in a heartbreaking cry. He had slaughtered through the night and still wasn’t finished.
Heavens damn it.
His two newly grown baby teeth ached terribly, nearly ground down from the effort.
Lu Chao Chao jolted awake from his scream, her drowsiness vanishing in an instant. “What are you crying for? There are just a few dozen left—hurry up and finish! I’ll help you.”
“Not enough? Next time, I’ll get you even more.”
Hearing this, Rong Xiang Shan wailed even harder, snot and tears streaming down his face.
And Lu Chao Chao continued stuffing chicken necks into his mouth.
Now, he was covered in the stench of chicken droppings, nearly gagging.
He had never minded it before!
His tiny mouth opened and closed numbly, crying uncontrollably. By the time daylight fully arrived, Lu Chao Chao finally dragged him out the door.
Zhu Mo was already outside, delivering the goods. One night’s work had earned them two silver coins.
Rong Xiang Shan clutched the silver tightly, refusing to let go. He clung to his sister’s shoulder, sobbing pitifully.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry. From now on, we’ll come here every night to slaughter chickens. I’ll make sure you get your fill, no worries!”
“I’ve made up my mind—suppressing instincts is pointless. Better to unleash them!”
“If a hundred isn’t enough, then two hundred, three hundred… There will always be more to kill.”
Rong Xiang Shan bared his tiny teeth, one hand rubbing at them. His gums ached terribly…
Tears rolled down in fat drops of grievance.
He never wanted to bite another neck again—never in this lifetime!
