Chapter 84
The old woman tugged at her hand tentatively.
It didn’t budge.
She was a little flustered subconsciously, but the strange feeling was replaced by anger the next second, "What do you mean, little girl?"
"Why, you want to teach someone a lesson, why do you keep pulling an old woman?"
"Besides, Nizi is such a little girl, how do you want to teach her a lesson?"
The curve of Tan Li's mouth remained unchanged, "She offended me, of course she has to serve me tea and water to apologize."
"Old woman," she added some strength to her hand, "What? Is this how your village bullies outsiders like us?"
"The younger one lied, and the older one wants to make a big deal out of a small matter?"
Tan Li suddenly pulled the old woman's wrist in front of her, "Don't you think highly of me?" "
You..." The old woman wanted to say something, but suddenly staggered, the strength at her wrist was retracted inch by inch, and the slight pain slowly expanded.
Tan Li's eyes, so dark that you can't see the bottom, stared at the old woman's cloudy and yellow eyeballs, and slowly cracked the corners of her mouth.
The old woman's teeth trembled unconsciously, "You...you you..."
The arc of Tan Li's mouth corners became deeper and deeper, "But don't worry, I'm reasonable."
She said generously, "Let you girls serve me for a day, just as I vent my anger."
"After that--" She said meaningfully, "You can educate her however you want, it has nothing to do with me."
Hearing her say this, the old woman's eyes rolled.
She was still thinking, but the villagers behind her were furious, "Who do you think you are, little girl? Believe it or not..."
"Hey hey hey!" The old woman quickly stopped them, "Forget it, these are all guests!"
"After all, it was the girl who deceived them. The little girl in the city was coquettish and wanted to vent her anger. We can't cover up for her."
She glanced at the outside as if she didn't expect it. There was still a group of people who were not surrounded, and there was even a camera facing them.
Tan Li smiled and watched the villagers slowly put down the various tools in their hands.
"Little girl, hey, we also know that Nizi is ignorant and bumped into you, then..." The old woman said the words she had prepared long ago with difficulty, "Then let Nizi give you a gift and apologize."
"It just so happens that someone has to be responsible for the rest of you guys today, so let Nizi help."
"But..." She asked tentatively, "Then tomorrow..."
"Tomorrow, I will let this little girl go free." Tan Li said straightforwardly.
The old woman observed Tan Li's defiant eyebrows again, "Okay! Then it's settled."
She bent down with difficulty, "Nizi, grandma and your father will come to take you home tomorrow."
"Be obedient, understand?"
Tan Xinman, who had been protecting Nizi, saw her eyes with hidden warnings, and her eyebrows wrinkled into a "川" shape.
But Nizi nodded obediently, "Grandma, I got it."
"Nizi will be obedient."
"Okay, okay," the old woman was very satisfied with Nizi's answer, "Then I will go back first and pick Nizi up tomorrow."
As she said that, she waved to the other villagers and said a few words in the local dialect that others could not understand. The crowd gradually dispersed.
"Little girl, you must keep your word." Before leaving, the old woman said something to Tan Li with a hint of meaning.
Tan Li smiled and said, "Of course."
Although the villagers' encirclement had dispersed, after all, they were now in someone else's territory, and from time to time, there were still villagers' eyes floating around.
It seemed like they were asking questions or monitoring them.
Some even walked up to them and asked with a smile if they needed any help.
Tan Li refused them all.
Tan Li tapped Nizi's soft face, "Nizi, do you know where our resting place is?"
Nizi nodded, "I know, I'll take you there."
"Okay." Tan Li let her lead the way, and she followed Nizi with everyone.
Tan Xinman, Ying Heng and Tong Jing followed obediently, but the staff of the program team were a little hesitant.
Especially the staff who followed Tan Xinman.
Tan Xinman came here this time, with two groups of staff, one is the program team of "Loving Family", and the other is the staff of her own girl group.
"I always feel that this village is weird, why don't we go back first?" Someone suggested. As
soon as the voice fell, many people responded.
"But what will we do with the child if he leaves?"
"Then call the police first! We are just here to record a variety show, why would they care so much?"
"Yes, I was really scared just now, I almost thought those villagers were going to attack us."
"Who found this village? Why did they find such a filming location?"
Tan Li saw that their voices were getting louder and louder, so she blinked and turned to her follow-up filming team, "Are you guys live streaming now? Is it okay to record all this?"
The photographer:...!
This remark woke the dreamer up.
The people who were still discussing just now suddenly fell silent.
The photographer had just turned on the live camera in a daze because of Ying Heng's order, and then he was frightened by the strange confrontation between Tan Li and the villagers. For a moment, he even forgot that he was still live!
The director of Group D who was filming Tan Li was also startled and quickly turned on the pad to monitor the real-time screen.
But——
[The network is not connected, and the live broadcast room cannot be opened. ]
I don’t know when it started, the network was disconnected.
At the same time, the photographer also checked the relevant equipment. It was not known whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, "There is no signal. The live broadcast should not have been transmitted out."
The people who had just spoken loudly couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness."
But unlike them, the faces of several people still turned pale when they heard that there was no signal.
"If there is no signal... can we still call the police?" someone asked weakly.
Silence.
But after a few breaths, a panic of fear rose in the crowd.
Tan Li sighed, "Can't we discuss this issue in the middle of the street?"
She couldn't stand it anymore, she really couldn't stand it anymore.
It was just like holding a megaphone and shouting "We have a lot of little tricks, bad guys, come and make us shut up", what's the difference?
She had reminded them tactfully once before, why didn't this group of people understand the hidden meaning behind her words?
Perhaps it was because Tan Li's eyes were too disgusted, the variety show team that followed them realized it belatedly, and they seemed to be the idiots who were plotting loudly in broad daylight.
"Then..." Everyone looked at Tan Li. Unconsciously, she seemed to have become the backbone of everyone.
Tan Li rolled her eyes to the sky, "If you have any questions, let's go to the rest area first and ask, okay?"
"...Oh oh." Everyone nodded quickly.
The world finally quieted down.
Tan Li glanced at Nizi, who had been leading the way and heard their words clearly, but had no strange expression, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
**
The village prepared a large courtyard for the program group.
Tan Li paid attention to the direction when she came over. This courtyard can be said to be located in the center of the village, facing north and south, with a wide view.
At the same time, it is surrounded by many farmers.
It was the kind of place where if there was a little movement, there would always be a family nearby who would notice the movement.
Great!
Tan Li smiled and waited for everyone to enter the hall, then she closed the door with a snap.
She touched Nizi's head and said expressionlessly, "You should have called the police? When will the police arrive?"
Everyone was stunned.
Ying Heng glanced at his phone and naturally continued, "If nothing goes wrong, they should arrive tomorrow."
"If it's urgent, your helicopter is still parked in the original position, so it's not impossible to move."
"I'm just afraid..."
"Forget it," Tan Li found a stool and sat down casually, "lest they become desperate."
"These two are both dragging their feet. If any of them can't keep up, they will be eaten alive."
Tan Li was lazy and thought it would be best if she could leave it to the police.
She didn't want to go through the trouble of protecting such a large group of people. It would be so tiring.
Everyone finally understood something from the conversation between Tan Li and Ying Heng, but at the same time, many questions arose.
Several people moved their lips, wanting to ask something, but after looking left and right, they dared not ask out loud.
Tan Xinman was not so worried, "Didn't you say there was no signal? Brother Ying, can you still contact the outside world?"
"...Satellite phone." Ying Heng originally disdained to answer such a simple question, but in the end he compromised for Tan Li's sake.
"Boss, why don't you go first?" Tong Jing followed closely, "What if the villagers here are the kind of unreasonable local tyrants who hurt you?"
Tan Li: "No need."
In fact, Tan Li also had a question, "Tan Xinman, aren't you here to record the group variety show? Why are there so few people?"
Tan Xinman: "I am the group leader. The procedure arranges me to come a day earlier to take care of things and welcome other members tomorrow."
"Oh?" Tan Li raised her eyebrows.
Tan Xinman thought she had something else to say, but unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, Tan Li said "Oh" and then played with the crystal chains on her nails and stopped talking.
For a moment, the whole room was quiet.
Nizi blinked her big eyes, "I'll go pour water for the guests."
As she said, she was about to go out, but was held down by Tan Li.
"Sister, what's the matter?" Nizi tilted
her head. Tan Li touched her head, "Let these brothers and sisters accompany you."
As she said that, she looked at Tong Jing and several program staff.
The program staff didn't really want to go out. They just felt that the people in this village were cruel. They would not contact them if they could. When the police came tomorrow, they would say goodbye to this bad village.
Tong Jing was different.
She knew how to read Tan Li's expression.
"Okay, boss." Tong Jing took Nizi's hand, "No need. We are all adults. We are not amputated. We can't let such a little kid go to pour water, right?"
Hearing her say that, the program staff couldn't refute.
Moreover, Tan Li's calm demeanor infected them, making them feel safe following a big sister.
Huh?
How did she change from a rich sister to a big sister?
Everyone was still in a daze, but Tan Li waited for Tong Jing to take Nizi out of the door, and then asked, "Tan Xinman, explain the situation." Tan Xinman
nodded, "I came here this morning in my sister's helicopter, so I came earlier than the scheduled time."
"The local guide and other staff haven't arrived yet, so I planned to wait in the helicopter first."
"But then I thought, instead of waiting like this, I might as well go take some photos of the morning glow in the mountains for my sister--"
Tan Xinman paused, "Then, I accidentally found a group of vendors."
