As soon as the Fifth Elder finished speaking, someone immediately jumped in, saying, "Fifth Elder, with your words, we have nothing to worry about. Don't worry, we will speak the truth and won't lie!" "That's right! That's exactly right!" The Fifth Elder excitedly asked, "Auntie, did your child get kidnapped?"
The aunt nodded and said, "Yes, of course not! My two sons snatched it away! Those things that grew up in the gutter are so heartless and have no business doing anything for human beings. Sooner or later, they will be struck by lightning!"
The aunt said this with gritted teeth, her eyes filled with resentment as she stared blankly at the fifth elder.
The people who already knew the inside story knew what the aunt meant by this.
Unfortunately, the Fifth Elder didn't know the true situation. He simply assumed the aunt was so angry because her children had been abducted by an evil spirit, so he immediately comforted her, saying, "Aunt, I understand how you feel. I'm deeply sorry that your two sons were abducted by an evil spirit, but the dead are gone, and the living must continue to live. I believe that if your two sons are still alive, they certainly don't want to see you sad...ah!"
Before the Fifth Elder could finish his words, something suddenly flew towards him and hit him right in the face with a "bang".
The side of my cheek that was hit felt a burning pain instantly.
He lowered his eyes and saw that what hit him in the face was actually a broken shoe. The Fifth Elder's face suddenly turned as dark as a potcake, and he glared at the aunt who took off her shoes and hit him in public.
"Auntie, I'm trying to comfort you out of kindness. If you don't accept it, that's fine, but why are you so quiet and hitting someone?"
"I'm going to hit you!" The old lady was so angry that her eyebrows stood up. She put one hand on her waist and pointed the other hand at the Fifth Elder's nose and cursed, "My two sons are home with their grandparents now, and you're talking nonsense about the dead being gone! You're such a bastard hiding in the gutter and not doing anything for the people. I'm going to smash you to death today and teach you how to behave like a human being!"
Children are the darlings of their parents. If they are bullied, their parents will feel extremely distressed. How could they bear to hear such vicious curses from the Fifth Elder?
The aunt said this angrily, took off her other shoe and threw it at the fifth elder.
The first time she threw the broken shoe at the Fifth Elder, it was because she caught him off guard that she was able to hit him accurately.
Unexpectedly, the second time, the Fifth Elder was so shocked by the information revealed in her words that he was in a daze and had no idea of dodging, so he was hit again.
And it hit the other half of the cheek, one left and one right, just symmetrical.
Only then did the Fifth Elder suddenly wake up with a start. With his swollen pig-like face and eyes wide open, he asked the woman in disbelief, "What did you say? Your two sons are home now? How is that possible? Didn't you just say they were abducted by evil spirits?"
Since he was kidnapped, how could he be at home!
The fifth elder couldn’t understand!
The auntie spat and said, "Pah, how can it be impossible! My two sons were indeed kidnapped by an evil spirit the night before last, but if the evil spirit can kidnap them, can't the second girl save them?"
The other people immediately responded, "That's right, our children were abducted by the evil spirit, but early this morning, the second girl rescued them all!"
"The Second Miss has promised us something, and she will never go back on her word!"
"Yes, a total of one hundred and eight children, not one less!"
…
Everyone was talking at once, and the Fifth Elder's head was buzzing. He could hardly believe what he was hearing!
Were they all rescued?
How is this possible!
Moreover, since the children have been rescued, why are these people still gathering here!
The fifth elder immediately angrily questioned everyone, "Since your children have been rescued, what are you still doing here? Are you planning to cause trouble?"
"What do you mean by gathering to cause trouble? We are here to thank the Second Miss!"
"That's right, we're here to give the Second Miss a thank you gift. Thank you for helping us rescue the child who was kidnapped!"
The chattering sounded again, and the people acted like magic, picking up a small bamboo basket full of eggs from their feet, or untying the sack on their shoulders to reveal pork wrapped in cloth, and some even brought chickens, ducks, and geese... The items were not very valuable, but they were real!
The fifth elder was stunned by this miraculous scene. It took him a long time to recover and he felt as if he was in a dream.
And it was a nightmare!
He was tricked!
He fell into a trap set by others!
The Fifth Elder reacted belatedly and suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Qiqi. He glared at her and asked angrily, "Second Miss, you planned all this, didn't you? May I ask, Second Miss, we have no grudges or hatred, why are you teasing me with this kind of thing?"
tease?
snort.
Shen Qiqi sneered.
With just a light teasing, she could treat everything that just happened as a misunderstanding and accuse her of being spoiled and willful. However, this old thing reacted quickly enough and thought of a way to resolve the situation in just a short moment, and she didn't forget to turn the tables.
Unfortunately, his rake was destined to hit only himself.
Shen Qiqi raised her eyelids and cast a cold gaze on the Fifth Elder's swollen pig-headed face. Too lazy to engage in a roundabout battle with him, she sneered, "Fifth Elder, what you said is funny. If I were to plot against you, then you should be the one plotting against me. After all, it was you who deliberately misinterpreted my meaning yesterday and yelled to everyone that I would definitely be able to rescue the children."
