Chapter 51 Watching a Show - The Shura Field of the Clay People

It was time to get off work and no one had anything to do. When they heard that there was a big show at the reservoir, they put down their farm tools and ran. Some members who had planned to go home to cook dinner did not do so because watching the show was more important.

That's how it is in the countryside. There aren't many entertainment activities, but once you hear that there's something exciting going on somewhere, the news spreads fast and far. Within half an hour, the whole team knows about it.

As the news spread, more and more people knew about it, and the team going to the reservoir became larger and larger, including men and women, young and old. It was estimated that most of the team members had gone there.

Just look, on the way to the reservoir, Ning Xiyue saw more and more people running excitedly in the same direction, discussing as they ran, with excited looks on their faces, just like the standard expression of someone watching the fun.

Ning Xiyue heard an aunt next to her say, "I heard from my second uncle that there are some female educated youth in the team. I don't know if it's true or not. If it's true, it will be really exciting."

When the others heard this, they immediately chimed in: "It must be true. I also heard that Li Jiandang got mad this time. We have to run fast. Otherwise, it would be a pity if we go there and the matter is over."

"Okay, let's not talk about it now. Let's go over and watch while we talk."

After the aunts finished speaking, they really started running quickly, fearing that they would miss the show if they walked too slowly.

Although the others didn't understand why, they followed suit when they saw them speeding up, a typical example of following the herd mentality.

Ning Xiyue became more interested after hearing what her aunts said. The more people involved, the more complicated the relationships, and the more diverse the identities of the characters, the more interesting things will be.

They also speeded up. Just like what that aunt said, don't run too far because the show is over. You can't see it with your own eyes and can only know it through other people's mouths. It's really uncomfortable for people like them who just watch the show.

When Ning Xiyue arrived at the reservoir, she found that there were really a lot of people in the team who liked to join in the fun. People surrounded the place in the middle where the trouble was happening in three layers inside and three layers outside. Even the small boats in the reservoir were filled with people. There were also people standing in the place where there was no water to step on at the edge of the reservoir. The scene was very noisy.

"Xiyue, come here quickly." A clear and slightly excited voice called Ning Xiyue.

Hearing the voice, Ning Xiyue saw Li Xiuxiu sitting on a big banyan tree that could be hugged by one person, smiling and waving at her. There were quite a few people sitting on the tree, and Aunt Qiuju was sitting on a branch not far from Li Xiuxiu.

Aunt Qiuju pointed to the big tree branch between her and Li Xiuxiu and said, "Come here, Xiyue girl. I've saved a good spot for you."

Ning Xiyue looked at the tree branch that was three or four meters above the ground: There’s no need to leave it for her.

Aunt Yang Liu was very happy, and pulled Ning Xiyue towards the big banyan tree: "Come on, Xiyue, let's go up, the view there is good and we can see clearly."

Ning Xiyue was pulled over and found that the back of the banyan tree was relatively flat, with footholds like steps, making it easy to climb up.

Sitting on a tree branch, Aunt Qiuju took out a handful of roasted pumpkin seeds from her pocket and handed them to Ning Xiyue. Li Xiuxiu also took out a handful of pine nuts she had picked up from the mountain from her pocket and handed them to her.

Ning Xiyue took them one by one and put them in her pocket. The view from the top was indeed good. She could see the situation near the reservoir clearly and could even hear the voices of people around her.

The two people in the middle were covered in black mud, and it was impossible to recognize who was who. There seemed to be another person half-sunk in the mud beside the reservoir, and several people were there helping to pull him out.

"They all rolled around in the reservoir? Who are they?"

Hearing this, Li Xiuxiu excitedly told Ning Xiyue what happened before, "You came a step too late and didn't see it, it was really exciting, several people even had a fight in the mud of the reservoir."

"See? The one with the least mud on her body, sitting next to her is Chen Yechu from your Youth Academy. She is the most powerful one, she can beat several people by herself."

Ning Xiyue looked in the direction Li Xiuxiu pointed, and sure enough, she saw Chen Yetu sitting alone on the side, thinking about something. Standing next to him were Yu Zhiyu and Xia Zhipeng, who also had some mud on their bodies, and Wang Mengmeng, who looked unhappy.

Tsk, what kind of Shura field is this? The male and female protagonists, the female protagonist’s husband in the previous life, and the supporting characters are all here, and it seems they are participants in this incident.

Ning Xiyue ate a melon seed with interest and pointed at the crowd and asked, "Where are the two people in the crowd?"

She saw a figure in the crowd that looked familiar.

"Well, Ning Xiaoxiao from your Youth Academy, she was in a miserable state. Not only was she beaten by several people, but she also rolled around in the mud of the reservoir. Next to her is Wu Zhigang from your academy. Both of them look unrecognizable, right?"

It was indeed impossible to tell what she looked like. Only her eyes were open, as red as a rabbit's, and the rest of her body was covered in mud. Even if her aunt came, she would not be able to recognize that this was her daughter.

Seeing Ning Xiaoxiao's miserable appearance, Ning Xiyue cracked melon seeds with more energy.

Ning Xiyue looked at the other group of people gathered together. The clay figure inside should be Li Jiandang. Aunt Wang, who was standing next to him, was cursing at the place where people were being pulled out of the reservoir.

Li Cuihua was crying and screaming beside the reservoir, but she did not hesitate to curse back.

Last second: "You damn rotten heart, rotten lungs, rotten asshole."

The next second: "My poor daughter! Xiu Li, don't worry, mom will come to save you..."

The person in the reservoir was obviously Wu Xiuli.

"Wu Xiuli suffered the most in this fight. She was the one who was in the middle of the crowd... oh yeah, the target of everyone's criticism. She got beaten the most and sank the deepest into the mud. She stepped into a depression in the reservoir and sank half her body under. If she wasn't tall, she would have died."

"Mom, hurry up and save me, hurry up, my legs are numb, wow, I'm scared... Mom... wow wow-"

Ning Xiyue looked at the person who was trapped in the reservoir, crying loudly with her hair messy like a mad woman, and nodded in agreement.

"She was the worst off. Several people went over to help pull the radishes out but they still couldn't. If they were pulling radishes, they might have pulled out an entire acre of land."

"Who said it wasn't true? It's what she deserved. She offended several people instead of just one. Who knew she would run into a tough guy?"

Aunt Qiu Ju spat a mouthful of melon seed shells and continued, "I didn't expect that the newcomer Chen Zhiqing looked quiet and gentle, but turned out to be a ruthless character who would not show any mercy when beating people."

"Aunt, I saw the captain and the others were all down there, why aren't you with them?"

Ning Xiyue was a little curious. The leaders of the team were all downstairs, but Aunt Qiuju, as the women's director, was sitting on the tree with them, watching the show and eating melons.

Aunt Qiu Ju waved her hand nonchalantly, "No hurry, go when someone comes to find you. Wu Xiuli will take a while to pull it out. This is not the first or second time they have done this. I am too lazy to talk to them. It is better to sit here quietly. It doesn't matter whether you go or not. There are so many leaders down there, and one more person won't make a difference."

Aunt Qiu Ju thought for a moment and said, "I'll have a few people explain what happened today one by one later. If you want, you can follow me and listen closely."

Li Xiuxiu smiled and refused, suggesting: "Aunt, let's just stay here. There are too many people down there and it's not as comfortable as here. Why don't you bring some people over later so that we can listen just as carefully and see more clearly."

Ning Xiyue nodded while cracking melon seeds and said, "It's quite comfortable to sit here. There's a breeze and it's not hot at all. The view is also wide and I can see the expressions of everyone below clearly."

"Yeah, Aunt Qiuju and I chose a good location. We fell in love with this place at first sight."

Li Xiuxiu and Ning Xiyue sang the same tune, and with Aunt Yang Liu's support, Aunt Qiuju looked at the flat and wide ground under the tree and agreed with a smile.

"Okay, I'll listen to you and bring some over so you can hear and see clearly."

"Thank you, auntie. Come, let's continue eating melon seeds."

Ning Xiyue sat there cracking melon seeds, keeping an eye on all directions and listening carefully. She learned a lot from the people around her, but no one knew more details, such as the specific cause of the incident.

Li Xiuxiu clapped Ning Xiyue's hands excitedly, "Look, Wu Xiuli has been pulled out, the fun is about to begin!"
