"You're all overthinking it. The eldest son's wife is a selfish and self-serving little bitch. You might not know, but I certainly do!" Liu Jinhua's sarcastic voice shattered everyone's illusions.
Widow Li nodded repeatedly: "What benefits can you offer Madam Mo so that you can get her involved? You all really have no self-awareness."
Mo Qingcheng's cold eyes stared at Widow Li and Liu Jinhua. Were these two just bored and looking for trouble? Did they feel uncomfortable if they didn't cause her some trouble?
"What...what are you going to do? Did I say something wrong?" Widow Li's face turned pale and she took two steps back.
Before Liu Jinhua could say anything more, her daughter tugged at her sleeve. Although she was unwilling, she dared not say anything more.
"When have I ever fooled anyone? If you don't believe me, fine. Don't bother me with anything in the future." Hu Lai waved his hand and stepped aside to watch the show.
Those with ulterior motives immediately shut their mouths.
"Village chief, let's take a detour. This place is too eerie. What if we get ambushed on the mountain and survive?"
"Yes, village chief. How are so many children and elderly people going to get up the mountain?"
"Never mind, we'd rather die than go this way. We'll take a detour."
It is unclear who started the opposition, but a third of the people in the three villages left the group and took a detour with their families.
Li Changgeng was anxious but helpless. The village chief couldn't keep them by his side, could he?
Liu Changming and Sun Yunhui sighed softly, exchanged a glance with Li Changgeng, and approached Mo Qingcheng, adopting a more humble posture than before.
Crossing the mountain directly carries some risks, but it saves a lot of time. Taking a detour is also an option, but it would likely take two or three days and there's a chance of encountering bandits.
A pile of random rocks suddenly appeared and blocked the way; I absolutely refuse to believe that no one was behind it.
After what happened last night, the three village chiefs were filled with unease and inexplicably felt more trust and respect for the woman in front of them.
He remained calm in the face of danger, gave decisive command, and had a kind heart. He could have easily escaped last night, but he didn't forget his roots.
Upon discovering a problem with the water, he tactfully offered a heads-up, despite the risk of being condemned by the public.
"Lady Mo, is there something wrong with this pile of stones?"
"Lady Mo, will we encounter danger if we take a detour?"
"Lady Mo, where have they gone? Are they trapped inside the rocks?"
The three grown men, like curious children, kept asking questions, one after another.
Mo Qingcheng was both amused and exasperated: "Thank you all for your trust. Please wait a moment while Doctor Hu and I go to take another look."
Hu Lai's eyelids twitched. This woman didn't look like a good person at all. Was she trying to get revenge on him?
"Dr. Hu, for the safety of our fellow villagers, please go through this trouble again." Mo Qingcheng said with a half-smile, raising an eyebrow at Hu Lai.
Is it too late for this miracle doctor to run away now? Hu Lai wished he could find a crack in the ground to jump into and never come back up.
Lady Mo is capable, yet she also hates evil like poison. I wonder whose parents raised her to be like that? I, the divine healer, would love a dozen of Lady Mo like her…
"Dr. Hu..." Mo Qingcheng waved her hand, cursing inwardly, "You old lecher."
Hu Lai snapped out of his daze, startled, and caught a glimpse of Mo Qingcheng's cold gaze, breaking out in a cold sweat for himself.
Better to provoke the King of Hell at midnight than to provoke Lady Mo.
"Oh, Madam Mo, this divine physician was just thinking about how to minimize the harm. The villagers are already..."
"Stop, Dr. Hu, stop talking nonsense..."
Hu Lai's eyelids twitched. He gestured for them to proceed. Mo Qingcheng turned around and told the children not to run around.
Liu Cuihua took the initiative to go to the front of the mountain to look after the children and told Mo Qingcheng not to have any worries.
A moment later, Mo Qingcheng and Hu Lai, one after the other, each with their own thoughts, returned to the pile of rocks, wanting to see each other again.
One turned right, the other right, and after circling around, they both exclaimed in unison: "Dragon Trapping Formation..."
