She quickly pulled out her phone and checked the time. It was only a little after seven. Could that charlatan have started praying for rain so early in the morning? Was he seriously ill?
He quickly called out to Jiang Yan who was beside him, "Jiang Yan, wake up, don't sleep any more, get up and catch the shackles!"
Jiang Yan was forced to wake up from her sleep, looking up at her in confusion. Wen Wan urged her, "Hurry up!"
Fortunately, the two of them did not take off their clothes when they went to bed yesterday, so they could just get up, put on their shoes and go. Anyway, there was no water for them to wash their faces and brush their teeth.
Before leaving, he reminded Su Ran to take care of herself and then ran out quickly.
As soon as they ran out of Chen Jiu's house, they saw that the open space in the distance ahead was full of people. Wen Wan pulled Jiang Yan and ran forward madly.
Then she cursed that stupid charlatan in her heart. Who prays for rain so early in the morning? She had originally thought that if someone prayed for rain at noon, she could still get some more sleep to recuperate, but who knew he would do this to her.
The two of them ran out of breath. When they were still some distance away, she saw several girls aged six or seven tied up on the platform in front of her.
There seemed to be a dispute nearby. A group of people were surrounding a man with sticks, and it was obvious that a fight had already started. She hurriedly pulled Jiang Yan forward, and then she saw that the person sitting on the ground in front of them and being beaten was Yan Yu.
After seeing this, Jiang Yan rushed forward and desperately pushed through the crowd, throwing herself on Yan Yu. Looking at the blood flowing from Yan Yu's forehead, she turned her head and shouted angrily, "What are you doing?"
The one leading the beating was Village Chief Hao. He snorted coldly and said impatiently, "Hmph, what are we doing?"
"First, let's ask him what he did. Yesterday, I was so kind as to let you outsiders in to take pictures, but he was so ungrateful that he tried to disrupt the sacrifice!"
Yan Yu covered his bleeding forehead and said to Jiang Yan anxiously, "They... they want to burn those children to death!"
Jiang Yan looked at him and nodded nervously, "I know, I know, Yan Yu, are you okay?"
"We will never allow anyone to disrupt the sacrifice!" said Village Chief Hao, raising his stick again to attack the two men.
Seeing this, Jiang Yan hurriedly protected Yan Yu. At this moment, Wen Wan came over and kicked Village Chief Hao from behind, causing him to fall flat on his face.
Then she turned around and knocked down all the people around her. She took a look at the wound on Yan Yu's head, her eyes suddenly became cold, and she crossed her arms in front of her chest and walked towards Village Chief Hao step by step.
He squatted down gently, grabbed Village Chief Hao's hair, raised his hand to his greasy face, and punched him twice.
"Ah!" A front tooth covered in blood fell out of his mouth, which showed how much strength Wen Wan used.
"Sacrifice? Damn it, who gave you the qualification to sacrifice living people?" Wen Wan shouted angrily with anger in her eyes.
She hadn't intended to be so cruel, but these shameless people actually dared to attack their people? Then don't blame them for not being angry.
Village Chief Hao was stunned by Wen Wan, which completely overturned his previous impression of Wen Wan. He really didn't expect that a seemingly weak little girl could beat him like this.
After he came to his senses a little, he was immediately furious and subconsciously wanted to fight back, but was knocked to the ground by Wen Wan's punch.
She looked at the person in front of her, sneered, then stood up, raised her foot and stomped hard on Village Chief Hao's hand.
Suddenly he heard a scream of pain, "Ah!!" The pain made him break out in cold sweat.
He used his other hand to push Wen Wan's feet hard, but Wen Wan seemed not to feel the strength and remained unmoved.
He just looked down at him with a cold gaze, like a cold wind blowing in the night, so terrifying that it made his hair stand on end.
Seeing that he couldn't break free, he quickly shouted at the villagers standing there in a daze, "What are you doing? Come and help me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Wan curled up the corner of her mouth in a sneer, and suddenly increased the strength of her feet. At that moment, everyone heard a "click".
It was the sound of broken bones. Village Chief Hao was in so much pain that he couldn't even scream. His eyes rolled back and he almost fainted.
When the villagers heard the command, they quickly gathered around.
Wen Wan raised her eyebrows and said viciously, "My name is Wen Wan! You are welcome to sue me!"
"You injured my friend's head, so I'll cripple one of your hands, and we're even now."
"But don't worry, I'm a reasonable person and I won't be like you. I'll pay for all your medical expenses."
Then he moved his feet, looked up at the villagers holding sticks around him, and said coldly: "If you are not afraid of death, come at me!"
As she spoke, she squeezed her hands until they made a crackling sound. The villagers surrounding her couldn't help swallowing when they saw her like that. They looked at her tremblingly with sticks in their hands, but they didn't dare to go forward.
At this time, the charlatan next to him spoke up, "How dare you, you daring monster, hurt people wantonly!"
Then he directed the other villagers who were watching the excitement, "What are the rest of you standing there for? Hurry up and arrest her! She just arrived in the village, and the drought has already hit. Don't you understand?"
"She's not human! How could an ordinary woman be so beautiful? She's a vixen! Burn her to death, and it will rain in the village tomorrow!"
Wen Wan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this. What a good storyteller! Although she was praised for her beauty, she was quite happy.
She couldn't help but sigh, "Does being beautiful these days mean being a vixen? Is there anything wrong with being beautiful?"
So why didn't they punish Nuwa? After all, it was Nuwa who created humans without considering beauty or ugliness.
Another thing she was very puzzled about was why "fox spirit" was an insult? Foxes are so cute! ! !
This charlatan is just jealous! Jealous of her beauty! After all, being a vixen requires talent, at least the face must be beautiful.
When the villagers heard the charlatan's words, they obeyed him without hesitation and shouted madly, "Burn her! Burn her! Burn her!"
Hearing their horrifying words, Jiang Yan looked at Wen Wan worriedly and called out softly, "Wan Wan!"
Wen Wan gave Jiang Yan a reassuring look, then sneered at the group of fools and scratched her ears impatiently, "What if I die and it doesn't rain tomorrow?"
As soon as this statement was made, some of this charlatan's supporters immediately came out to refute it, "Impossible! Taoist Master Guo has great magical powers! How could it not rain?"
"Master?" Wen Wan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when she heard the word, then sneered, "How can a charlatan like him be worthy of being called Master?"
"Bah!" He then spat angrily and cursed at the charlatan, "Can you please stop bringing shame to Taoism?"
"What kind of charlatan is that? Taoist Guo's prayers for rain are so accurate that he can even put his hand into a boiling oil pan! Can you do that?" the supporter retorted disapprovingly.
Wen Wan couldn't help but roll her eyes. "It's the 21st century! Wake up! Reject feudal superstitions, okay? Don't force me to slap you!"
Jiang Yan, who was standing by, couldn't help but grumble inwardly upon hearing this. "Good fellow, a professional ghost hunter like you're saying you reject feudal superstition! Why does that sound so contradictory?"
