The Right Chancellor looked at Wu Xiao with a strange expression and said, "Why aren't you nervous at all?"
Wu Xiao smiled and explained:
"The fact that a few chickens and geese made such a commotion, yet none of the villagers came out, suggests only one thing: someone was fighting in the sinkhole, and all the other villagers ran over to watch."
Having lived in the retirement village for many years, she naturally knows the villagers' habits well.
There's a pit in the retirement village, a very, very deep pit, and nobody knows where it came from.
They just knew that fighting there wouldn't affect or spread to the mountains surrounding the retirement village.
Wu Xiao led the way, heading into the village ahead.
I was a little nervous. Luckily, my mother-in-law went to see a play; otherwise, she would have definitely dragged me into the room and questioned me.
The two women slowly followed behind her.
This is the first time the Right Minister has been here. He always felt that the small village was full of mystery and eeriness, as if it wanted to devour everything.
As they walked, the Right Minister noticed that there were six alleys in the retirement village.
The entrance to each alley is particularly deep and secluded, with no idea where it leads. Every hundred meters down the alley, there is a conspicuous wooden sign that reads "Stop Here".
The Right Chancellor asked, "Your Majesty, what kind of place is that? Why are there signs saying 'Stop Here' everywhere?"
"have no idea."
Wu Xiao shook his head.
She didn't know the purpose of the six alleys, so she didn't go in.
Not to mention her, even the village chief and the villagers are not allowed to enter. The village chief once said that if anyone does not follow the rules she sets in the retirement village, they will be kicked out by her.
This is why no one dares to go in or ask questions.
Curiosity aside, none of them wanted to be kicked out of the retirement village, because once they were, they would truly be homeless.
Wu Xiao led the two diviners to her mother-in-law's house, then suddenly changed direction and headed down another path. She planned to ask the farmer who was fighting in the sinkhole.
Among the many villagers, the only one who didn't watch the spectacle was the farmer.
The farmer was an oddity in the village.
He spends all his time doing farm work, planting rice, chestnuts, corn, oranges, and so on. In winter, he plants lettuce, potatoes, and potatoes.
He was the only person in the village who didn't like watching excitement; he preferred farm work and boxing, and wasn't interested in anything else.
Soon we arrived at a field and saw a farmer practicing boxing. He was moving incredibly slowly, like an old man doing his morning exercise. His movements were so slow that we could see them clearly.
However, what's strange is that there's a Tai Chi symbol under his feet, slowly rotating in rhythm with him.
"So strong." As the black dog spoke, flames shot from its mouth, giving him a very strong feeling.
"Such a powerful killing intent." Li Ming could see it clearly.
He saw a dark power emanating from the farmer.
This black power carried a heavy aura of slaughter, a murderous intent that could only be formed by the slaughter of countless lives, like a demon god descending.
No wonder he wanted to do farm work; he wanted to suppress the overwhelming murderous aura within him with a peaceful life.
"Uncle." Wu Xiao arrived at the edge of the field and waved to the farmer.
The farmer stopped what he was doing, looked at Wu Xiao, and smiled brightly, saying, "Xiao Xiao, you're back."
After saying that, his smile froze instantly. "You'd better go out and lay low for a while, and don't come back for the next few years."
"Is my mother-in-law fighting with someone over there in the sinkhole?" Wu Xiao guessed. The villagers weren't around earlier, so he knew his mother-in-law was fighting with them, probably because of that letter.
“Yes.” The farmer continued practicing his boxing at his own unhurried pace.
"I knew it, I knew who she was fighting with."
"Scholar".
The farmer told Wu Xiao that ever since the breakup letter was sent, Wu Xiao hadn't come back, which made the village chief's mother-in-law very angry, and she eventually vented her anger on the scholar.
The scholar plucked the feathers from her domestic goose, and so, naturally, she dragged him to the sinkhole and let loose, beating him to her heart's content.
The farmer told her to lay low for a while and not to come back unless it was something important.
"I came back this time to resolve this matter." Wu Xiao had no intention of backing down; she knew she had to face it sooner or later. She planned to go back, but then suddenly remembered something and asked Li Ming to inform the farmer.
The farmer already knew that Wu Xiao's old flame was named Li Ming.
He wasn't particularly surprised, and nodded with a smile.
Let me briefly introduce myself, and the two of you exchange greetings.
Wu Xiao took the two diviners back and waited at her mother-in-law's house. She didn't dare go to the sinkhole, fearing that her mother-in-law would beat her if she went. She decided to let the scholar bear the pressure.
As evening approached, the villagers gradually returned, including the bruised and battered scholar.
Wu Xiao was very nervous and said to Li Ming, "My mother-in-law might say something harsh later, so please don't send any text messages. Be polite."
Li Ming nodded. He wasn't stupid; he certainly wouldn't talk nonsense in front of his elders.
As the sun sets, it grows increasingly dark.
Wu Xiao sensed something was wrong, so she ran to the scholar and asked, "Didn't my mother-in-law come back with you?"
The scholar frowned and complained, "She inexplicably dragged me into the sinkhole to fight, beat me up, and then ran away, saying she'd come back to cook for you. Hasn't she come back yet?"
The village chief's wife wrote a letter to Wu Xiao, telling her to sever ties with Li Ming. Everyone in the village knew about it, but dared not speak out against it.
The scholar felt it was wrong for his mother-in-law to interfere in Wu Xiao's private affairs.
I talked to her and hoped she could change her mind and respect the child.
As a result, his mother-in-law said he was meddling in other people's business and beat him up.
They should have come back after they finished beating them up.
Wu Xiao sensed something was wrong and asked the two diviners to accompany her to the sinkhole, but they couldn't find any trace of her mother-in-law.
"Mother-in-law."
Wu Xiao shouted anxiously, his voice echoing throughout the village of the retirement village, but there was no response for a long time.
