Chapter 8 Let's do it, let's flip the table!
After giving Song Li a light scolding, Shi Yu lazily turned around.
As she left, Shi Yu's pleasant voice, tinged with a hint of coldness, drifted on the wind, carrying a certain implication, and accurately reached Song Li's ears.
"Be careful! There's an old saying that a person with a bad heart is likely to encounter something evil if they stay alone in a cemetery."
Song Li's ferocious expression froze for a moment.
I subconsciously glanced around and felt a chill run down my spine.
But then she realized that the fish was deliberately messing with her.
"Shi Yu, you shameless hussy, how dare you treat me like this! Don't even think about letting my son look at you again. Marrying into our Lin family? Dream on!"
"That's wonderful! Please thank your ancestors of the Lin family for me!"
After picking at his ears, Shi Yu went to the shadows to meet up with Lu Yizhou.
Lu Yizhou crossed his arms and glanced in Song Li's direction, but his scrutinizing gaze finally settled on Shi Yu.
"How are you going to manipulate that old woman into falling into the trap next?"
"Don't rush!" Shi Yu said calmly, as if joking. "Maybe even God will take pity on us and step in to help us deal with the bad guys."
Almost the instant the last note faded, a pale blue light shot out from Shi Yu's fingertips.
Squeak squeak squeak... Squeak squeak squeak...
The tips of the grass swayed gently, forming a wave shape that quickly converged towards Song Li.
"who?"
Song Lixin's heart tightened.
Then, to her horrified surprise, whoosh! Heads larger than an adult's fist popped up one after another.
They are... a group of giant rats that have become sentient.
Their eyes gleamed with greed as they glared fiercely at Song Li.
"Oh my god!"
Song Li was so frightened that her soul almost flew out of her body. She scrambled to her feet and fled for her life.
These large rats seemed to understand human nature, working together as a team to encircle Song Li and deliberately driving her in one direction.
"Um?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Yizhou's eyes.
He glanced at the wicked Shi Yu with a complicated expression, and the next moment, his wrist was tightly grasped by a warm little hand.
"Lu Yizhou, let's go!"
...
Ouch!
In her panic, Song Li fell into a dry well.
The rats scattered instantly.
Shi Yu pulled Lu Yizhou to the edge of the well, making good use of the nearby weeds to conceal their figures.
"Song Li, do you know your mistake?" Shi Yu deliberately changed her voice, pinching her throat.
"Who's playing tricks? Come out... get out here!" Song Li shuddered, and an uncontrollable look of terror appeared on her old face.
"I am the Mountain Goddess."
"Mountain God...Goddess?"
"Song Li, your Lin family disregards the lives of the people of Black Mountain Island and has arbitrarily raised the price of fresh water. You are utterly wicked. Now you will experience what it's like to die of thirst."
"No! Don't!" Song Li was so frightened that her face turned pale. She knelt at the bottom of the well, trembling, ignoring the pain in her body, and kept bowing and kowtowing towards the well opening.
"Mountain Goddess, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."
"I'll never do it again, please... please forgive me this once!"
As time went by, the sharp sounds grew weaker and weaker.
Song Li's voice became hoarse from shouting.
But in order to survive, she could only plead desperately.
It was quiet by the well.
Because at this moment, Shi Yu had already pulled Lu Yizhou away.
...
The two walked side by side on the mountain path.
Shi Yu didn't speak.
Lu Yizhou glanced at Shi Yu and broke the silence first, asking in a slightly hoarse voice, "Why did you help me?"
Shi Yu was still replaying what had just happened, her mind wandering and not thinking much, so her mouth spoke before her brain could process it, "Because I'm lusting after your body!"
Lu Yizhou: "..."
He stopped, crossed his arms, and stared at Shi Yu, this female hooligan, with a questioning gaze.
The atmosphere suddenly changed.
Shi Yu's eyelids twitched.
Realizing what had happened, a hint of embarrassment flashed across her delicate face.
She gave an awkward, forced smile. "Um, that's not what I meant, I wasn't that greedy..."
"Which one is greedy? Hmm?"
Lu Yizhou raised an eyebrow, his expression one of intense pressure.
Shi Yu subconsciously took a step back.
The man's aura was so strong that she had no doubt that he was furious because she had taken advantage of him and had broken her neck.
Seeing that things were getting worse by trying to explain, Shi Yu quickly steered the conversation back to the main point, "That's right! Let's keep Song Li locked up for two days and let her experience what it's like to not have water to drink. Once she's scared, she'll definitely force Lin Zhicheng to restore the original price."
"Um!"
Lu Yizhou nodded.
Before anyone could see, Shi Yu had already taken the opportunity to slip away.
"Hehe!" Staring at Shi Yu's lively back, Lu Yizhou's eyes were deep, and he actually found it somewhat funny.
Then, he turned and left.
...
While we were having dinner, the men in the family were all busy working in the fields.
With the relocation imminent, there was still some grain in the fields that needed to be harvested first.
Only the women were at home.
For dinner, each person received a bowl of thin porridge, in fixed quantities. A mustard tuber was pickled until extremely salty, then shredded and eaten carefully with the porridge.
But when the fish arrived, they found there was no share for them.
"What do you mean?"
Standing in front of the table with her arms crossed, Shi Yu raised an eyebrow with a cold smile.
Snap!
The chopsticks were slammed heavily onto the table.
She was the original owner's grandmother, Shi Liu.
"You heartless, rotten-hearted brat, you've harmed your own cousin time and time again. You don't deserve to waste food. You'll know your place after a couple of meals of hunger."
The fleshy parts of Shi Liu's face trembled.
Shi Yu glanced at the old man, then looked at the malicious Shi Jiaojiao beside her, and naturally knew what was going on.
"Mother! Don't be angry, I'm not hungry. Give this bowl of porridge to Yu Yu!" Huang Ying, the original owner's biological mother, felt sorry for the original owner. After comforting Shi Liu Shi, she wanted to hand the bowl in her hand to Shi Yu.
Unexpectedly, upon seeing this, Shi Jiaojiao nestled into Shi Liushi's arms.
"It's so good to have a mother who loves you!"
"Grandma, if my mother were still alive, she would surely protect me if she saw me being wronged!"
Her tearful, aggrieved look truly resembled that of Shi Yu and her mother ganging up on her.
Huang Ying's hand froze in mid-air.
They were in an awkward situation, unsure whether to move forward or retreat.
Now, Shi Liu's anger intensified.
She glared coldly at Huang Ying, then angrily knocked the bowl out of her hand. "Useless thing, just like that lowly girl. Since that's the case, then you don't need to eat either."
"ah!"
Huang Ying was burned, and her wrist immediately turned red.
Shi Yu's eyes turned cold.
Very good!
Since that's the case, nobody should eat it.
Having made up her mind, Shi Yu suddenly stepped forward and, without saying a word, cleanly and decisively overturned the table.
Crash!
The bowl broke, and the porridge and mustard greens were scattered all over the floor.
Shi Liushi and Shi Jiaojiao were startled and quickly stood up, taking two steps back.
"You...you..."
Looking at the mess on the ground, Shi Liu's face was filled with shock.
When she looked up again, her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the nonchalant Shi Yu, so shocked that she couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Is this still the same timid and submissive Shi Yu from before?
Has she gone mad?
After realizing what had happened, Shi Liu was furious.
