The next morning after breakfast, Yuan went out to gossip excitedly.
She wanted to teach her family a lesson again, but they weren't paying attention and the child jumped out before they could even call her.
Old Yang, who had been firm on the surface, breathed a sigh of relief and said generously:
"Okay, let her go. Maybe she'll regret it. Let's think of another way."
Everyone: That’s not what you said yesterday!
Fu Dabai and Li, who had been feeling depressed for half the night, said: "How could you do this? We were all bad guys! And then you changed your mind!"
The two of them felt extremely aggrieved: So we are the only bad guys?
Faced with a bunch of accusatory looks, Old Yang chose to turn her head away and not look at them.
…
Yuan went out happily and didn't regret it at all.
I first went to visit the grandmothers under the big willow tree.
He got a lot of candies and snacks, and successfully made Fu Bao, who was ignored, angry and his face turned green.
Then I went to visit my grandfathers whom I hadn’t seen for a long time and got a lot of food again.
Finally, I took these foods and went to find the children in the village, those who didn’t play with Fubao.
She and a few others took Fubao's snacks and candies, but they couldn't bear to accompany her and talk to the adults, and ran back home soon.
A Yuan gathered them all together, and after accepting everyone's care and snacks, he ate all the food that came from Fubao with everyone.
Then he wiped his mouth, patted the snack crumbs, and mysteriously told his friends bad things about Fubao:
"Do you know why I had several fights with Fubao?"
Friends: "I don't know. Some people say you were bitten by a bear! Some people say you were possessed by evil spirits! Some people say you have changed and become rebellious and unreasonable!"
A Yuan: "…Who is that someone? Why does she talk so much?!"
The friends felt a little guilty: "Maybe... it's a bit like us."
Ah Yuanqi put his hands on his waist for a while, then said:
"You forgot about someone! Let me tell you how Fubao made me so angry that I felt like I was possessed, and then I beat her like crazy!"
It is well known that Yuan doesn't like to lie, but there are always some people who don't listen to everything, some are hard of hearing, and some sit at the back and can't hear clearly.
I was as angry as if I was possessed. Under the shocked questioning of my friends, I just said:
"What? Fubao has possessed you?
And let you hit her?
Is she crazy? What's going on? "
Logically speaking, A Yuan could clear her name, after all, she was a troublemaker, but she was not a lunatic or a fool, and it was impossible for her to let A Yuan beat her!
But why?
Yuan blinked hesitantly, then said firmly:
"…Because she's evil!"
Although she wasn't crazy, she wasn't hit by a hammer, and she wasn't possessed by evil spirits, but the cause of everything was indeed because of Fu Bao's evilness!
Yuan felt that there was nothing wrong with this statement, so he was very sure of it.
There is no reason not to be excited to hear such things. Everyone pricked up their ears and waited eagerly for what to hear next.
Yuan would not let them down. He cleared his throat and began to make up a lie:
"I have personally seen Fu Bao sucking away the luck of my family before he got lucky!"
In a dream! Not quite smoking, but almost!
The friends were skeptical: "Can this be sucked?"
Yuan said solemnly: "You may not believe me, but I saw it with my own eyes!
The first time I saw her was a few days before she went to pick ginseng. It was a dark night.
I walked out of the house in a daze to go to the toilet, and when I came back.
I saw Fubao walking out of the second room, followed by my second uncle's family, but it was very strange!
Except for Fubao, they all lowered their heads, didn't even wave their arms, didn't even open their eyes, and followed her quietly.
I quickly hid behind the pile of firewood, and then I saw Fubao walking towards each door. Whenever he walked to a door, someone in front of that door would come out.
They stood around her like a spider web, and then one of them put his hand on another's shoulder, and then put his hand on Fubao.
Fubao was still saying, "Give me good luck, give me good luck, I want big fish, I want ginseng, I want wild boars, I want everyone to like me and listen to me, please give me your good luck..."
Friends: "Is she a monster?"
Yuan shook his head:
"I didn't know. I was so frightened at the time that I waited a long time after everyone else had gone home before I went back. I went to call my parents, but they wouldn't wake up. The next day I heard that Fubao had caught a fish.
I was so scared at the time that I was sick for several days. When I woke up and told the adults everything, they thought I was having a nightmare. But when I came back, I heard that Fubao had gone up the mountain, so we went to look for her...
I didn't intend to split the family, but Fubao was very sure that the ginseng was hers...
She seemed to know she could get these things...
I was terrified, but the adults didn't believe it...
The reason for the split was that grandma felt that my second uncle and his family were able to make money and were lucky, and she was afraid that they would be a burden to the family...
Of course, I am also a little worried whether Fubao is really evil..."
A Yuan told the story of everything in a rush, and also mixed in various stories about monsters and ghosts that he had heard from Zheng the butcher's house, as well as some sweet lies.
It was half true and half false. The friends who said it were stunned because Yuan had indeed been ill and those things had indeed happened. Now after hearing what Yuan said, Fubao did seem a little strange. She always ordered them around, but they were happy to play with her...
Zheng the Butcher's youngest son Maodan stroked his chin and thought these words sounded familiar, but he didn't care, he didn't like Fubao, so:
"She must be a monster!"
The friends started talking at once, and at the end there was a little girl who appeared out of nowhere, stood up in shock and ran away.
Yuan: "Hey~ who is that? Why did you leave?"
Chun Ya: "I heard that she is the maid of the second young lady of the county magistrate's family. She came to see what fun things are there. Fu Bao was waiting for the second young lady at the entrance of the village, and she came in for a stroll by herself."
A Yuan scratched his head: "When did she come?"
Fat Flower: "She came right after you. I thought you brought her here, but you two didn't sit together. So we just chatted with her for a while."
Several young ladies nodded to confirm what Chun Ya and Pang Hua said.
A Yuan felt a chill down her spine: someone was following her and she didn’t even notice!!!
Having just told a ghost story, Yuan was still recalling more of it in his mind and shrank back to everyone else in fear.
Everyone thought she was frightened by the maid's identity.
Just tell her:
"Don't panic! She's from that village. Her family couldn't make ends meet so they sold her. She was bought by that second young lady. It turns out she's pretty much the same as us. She has a good temper too. She's not to be feared!"
Another person lamented: "She wears it well. The clothes don't look very nice, but they feel slippery to the touch."
"That's the maid of the county magistrate's family!"
Some people are envious.
Yuan: "...You're not going to sell yourself for clothes, are you?"
The friends hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it. I heard that if the maid doesn't do her job well, she will be beaten to death!"
A Yuan: "It seems so. Grandma Wang also said so. But I heard that they can make a lot of money."
"Really?"
The topic has gone off track.
…
The little maidservant who rushed back to the village entrance just happened to see the second young lady getting off the carriage. The little maidservant pushed her back in and jumped on herself.
She urged the driver in a repeated voice: "Hurry up! No more playing! The young lady wants to go back to her schoolwork! She loves to study! She wants to write big characters! She wants to read! Hurry up!"
The second young lady, whose mouth was covered, was about to cry, sobbing:
What the hell are you talking about!!! I didn't!!!
The little maid stuck her head out and said loudly, "Didn't you hear the young lady say that she can't wait any longer? Hurry up and go!"
The driver was very hard of hearing, and the young lady couldn't yell at him, so usually the maidservant would talk to him.
Although she was curious about what had just happened, she also knew that this little maid had a very good relationship with the young lady, and what she said was basically speaking on behalf of the young lady.
So I really thought that the second young lady had changed her mind, felt that there was nothing fun to do in the village, and was preparing to go back.
So he nodded slowly, turned the car around, whipped the man in the air, and left without looking back.
"Hey! Don't go! Didn't you say you wanted to play with me?"
Fubao was about to chase after him but was stopped by Wulang and Liulang.
Monster! You even dared to harm the county magistrate's daughter! If you don't live, we will live!
The two of them whispered to each other in their hearts, but she said a few more words, and the two of them were affected and involuntarily moved aside.
But there was no way her short legs could catch up with the carriage.
Ran away long ago.
In the carriage, the second young lady cried and glared at the little maid:
"You'd better give me an explanation! Do you know how many words I promised my mother to write just to go out and play for a day?!!"
The maidservant said: "One hundred articles."
The second young lady was furious: "I used you to remind me!"
The little maid said, "Second Miss, don't be angry! You don't know! Do you know? Fubao is a monster!"
Second Miss: ...
"If you go to the theater again and listen to those nonsense...
I will let you help me write big characters! Then I will let my mother beat you to death!!!"
The second young lady burst into tears in anger.
The little maidservant shrank her neck in fear, and waited until she stopped crying before she told him everything she had heard.
The second young lady played with her handkerchief and thought for a moment:
"There's no smoke without fire. What the little girl said may sound absurd, but it may not be entirely false."
"Should we have someone check it out?"
The second lady hesitated for a moment:
"Forget it. That Fubao is indeed very likable, but she has bad intentions. Her brother was injured, but she only knew how to talk to me. It's meaningless.
I originally wanted to go out for some fun under the pretext of looking for her, but I didn't expect this to happen.
Regardless of whether she is a monster or not, if she really has something, she has ridiculous luck to get whatever she wants. It would be a trouble to get involved with her, so there is no need to pay any attention to her.
But, it’s already out anyway…”
The second young lady's eyes lit up and she said to the little maid:
"Let's not go back yet, let's go to Deyue Tower for a meal. I heard they have some new dishes!"
The little maid was also happy when she heard this, and said to the driver:
"The Second Miss doesn't want to study anymore! Let's go to Deyue Building!"
Second Miss: ...That's what happened, but I don't want to learn this kind of thing, so you don't have to shout it out!!!
