An avalanche occurred, innocent of any snowflakes.

But I clearly did nothing, so why must I die under his butcher's knife?

I... did nothing.

I stood at the village entrance, observing, doing nothing.

I thought that by merely passing by and not participating in the bullying, it had nothing to do with me.

Yet, it turns out I too am a cold, indifferent butcher's knife.

"Second sister, we've arrived! Wake up, get off the car!"

Hearing Fang Zhixuan's repeated shouts, I suddenly struggled awake, my waist and back sore as if my bones were tearing apart.

When we entered the village again, I woke up, memories of previous awakenings flooding my mind like a tide.

"Hurry up! Don't delay, we still need to clean!"

Soon after, I heard my mother urging us.

"Second sister, what's wrong with you? Are you dumb? Hey... hey... give a response..."

I snapped back to reality like an electric shock, pushing aside Fang Zhixuan blocking the way and looking towards the direction of the banyan tree.

"Dashuang, things change when you have a wife. You'll have hot meals every day! And meat too!"

The old woman under the tree teased.

Dashuang blushed and ate shyly.

Doggy Xiao Zhuang picked up scattered vegetables from all around and brought them back to the vegetable stall.

"Damn dog!"

Big Onion Brother shouted, triggering my sensitive nerves.

I picked up a brick from the ground and rushed over.

"Second sister, what are you doing..."

Big Onion Brother picked up a brick from the ground and smashed Xiao Zhuang to the ground, then swung a stick.

"Xiao Zhuang!" Dashuang rushed over to protect him.

I directly threw the brick in my hand. Big Onion Brother was frightened and took two steps back, glaring at me fiercely.

"The dog peed, and you injured it. We're even now. Why do you still confront me?" I sternly questioned.

Big Onion Brother pointed his stick at me, his ears and cheeks turning red, and angrily rebuked, "Where did this wild girl come from? How dare you meddle in my affairs? Do you know how expensive my shoes are? Get lost, or do you want me to beat you too?"

"Big Onion Brother! Big Onion Brother, calm down!" a guy named Dongge walked over to stop Big Onion Brother and looked at me, saying, "This is Dashuang's second younger sister, our village's first university student."

"Huh!" Big Onion Brother didn't buy it, pushed away Dongge's hand, and snorted, "So what if she's a university student? She's read some books, knows a few words, and thinks she's great?"

"Yaoyao, what's going on?" My mother caught up and pulled me behind her for protection.

Fang Zhixuan also followed and stood on my right side, protecting me.

"Woof..." Xiao Zhuang yelled and ran away.

"Big Onion Brother, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Dashuang bent down and apologized a few times, then hurriedly ran after the injured Xiao Zhuang.

"Run! Run away! Next time I see you, I'll beat you to death!" Big Onion Brother continued to roar in anger.

This person holds power and influence in the village, so I couldn't confront him directly. After Dashuang ran far away, I lowered my head, revealing an apologetic smile, and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry. I acted rashly just now. How about this, how much were the shoes? I'll compensate, is that okay?"

Seeing me bowing and admitting my mistake, Big Onion Brother seemed to find a way to save face. He threw away the stick in frustration, waved his hand, and said, "It was that damn beast that peed on my shoes. Why should I argue with a little brat like you? So what if you're a university student? Don't meddle in other people's business. The shoes aren't worth much anyway. Forget it, forget it, I have plenty of shoes."

My mother apologized to him again and quickly pulled me away, not forgetting to lecture me.

"Don't get involved next time, or you'll nearly bring trouble uponyourself. It's not worth it to confront someone like Big Onion Brother. Let's go home and forget about this."

I obediently followed my mother back home, but my heart was filled with frustration and anger. Why did I have to endure such injustice? Just because I was a university student, did it mean I had to turn a blind eye to wrongdoing?

Throughout the night, I couldn't sleep. The image of Big Onion Brother's smug face and his cruel treatment of Xiao Zhuang kept replaying in my mind. I couldn't shake off the feeling that I had let down not only myself but also the principles I believed in.

The next morning, I woke up determined. I couldn't let this go. I couldn't continue living in a world where the powerful trampled over the weak without consequence.

I went to the village meeting hall, where the village chief and other elders were gathered. With a resolute voice, I spoke up, recounting the incident with Big Onion Brother and demanding justice for Xiao Zhuang.

At first, there was silence in the room, and I could feel the skeptical gazes directed at me. But as I continued to speak, passionately advocating for fairness and standing up against bullying, I saw some of the elders nodding in agreement.

Eventually, the village chief, moved by my words and the support of the others, promised to investigate the incident and take appropriate action. He assured me that no one would be above the law in our village.

Over the following days, evidence was gathered, witnesses were interviewed, and the truth behind Big Onion Brother's actions came to light. It turned out that he had a history of bullying and intimidation, and the village had silently suffered under his tyranny.

The village chief, true to his word, took decisive action. Big Onion Brother was held accountable for his actions, and the village collectively decided on measures to prevent such incidents from happening again.

Through this experience, I learned the power of speaking up and the importance of standing up for what is right. It wasn't just about seeking justice for Xiao Zhuang; it was about creating a community where everyone could live without fear and oppression.

From that day forward, I became actively involved in community initiatives, advocating for equality, fairness, and the well-being of all villagers. I realized that change starts with individuals, and by taking a stand, we can make a difference.

The incident with Big Onion Brother was a catalyst for transformation in our village. It brought to light the need for change and empowered others to speak up against injustice. Together, we worked towards building a more inclusive and compassionate community.

While the scars of that confrontation with Big Onion Brother still lingered, they served as a reminder of the importance of fighting for what is right and not letting injustice go unchallenged.

I may have started as an indifferent bystander, but I refused to remain one. I chose to be the avalanche that disrupted the status quo, demanding accountability and paving the way for a better future.
