It's hard to say whether these middle-aged women were venting their anger or deliberately groping her. In any case, they pinched Tong Xianbao several times and even touched her private parts.
Cough cough, it was probably an accident!
Tong Xianbao was so angry that his face turned red, but he was also in a precarious situation.
He shouted at a group of middle-aged women, "If you have something to say, say it. Don't resort to violence!"
Perhaps the group of middle-aged women felt they had gone a bit too far, because they all stopped what they were doing.
But Aunt Hua's family ran out of grain, so she didn't care about anything else and pinched Yuan Ruoxi hard a few times, which immediately turned her body black and blue.
Yuan Ruoxi was so heartbroken that she burst into tears. Of course, she also felt ashamed of being "interrogated" by a group of middle-aged women.
However, she stubbornly refused to admit it. Since no one had any evidence, there was nothing anyone could do to her.
Seeing that her boyfriend had also been beaten, Yuan Ruoxi became furious and glared at the group of middle-aged women, saying, "You guys are something else! When I get back to the guard team, I'll definitely file a complaint against you all and make the guard team stand up for me and lock you all up in jail!"
Seeing Yuan Ruoxi's confident demeanor, the older women felt a chill run down their spines.
Aunt Hua was also a little apprehensive, afraid of offending someone.
She climbed off Yuan Ruoxi and pointed to the large empty wheat field, saying, "Girl, there's a reason I'm taking my anger out on you. Look, we've worked so hard for half a year, and it was almost ready to harvest, and then someone stole it. If you were in that situation, wouldn't you be furious?"
Yuan Ruoxi was speechless and dared not look Aunt Hua in the eye. She could only bluster and say, "You can't just make us take the blame without even knowing what happened! Tell me, if we stole your grain, why isn't there any wheat on the ground?"
"I... I was so angry I lost my mind. This is such a remote place, even we who have cleared this land don't usually come here. Who knew you two young people would have such unique tastes for a date, choosing such a godforsaken place?"
Yuan Ruoxi was furious and wanted to say something unpleasant.
Before he could even speak, the other person pointed at the sickle on the ground: "A date is one thing, but to bring a sickle is quite another. Even if you didn't touch the land, you might have been thinking of stealing it!"
Yuan Ruoxi...
Even though I harvested your wheat, you can't keep calling me a "thief," it sounds really awful.
But she didn't dare to say it outright, so she could only pick up the sickle from the ground with a dark expression and leave with Tong Xianbao.
As she turned around, she didn't forget to make her presence known. Looking at Aunt Hua, she said, "You'd better watch your temper. Not everyone is as easy to talk to as me."
Aunt Hua, fearing that Yuan Ruoxi might have some powerful connections, quickly nodded and smiled apologetically, "Yes, yes, you're right! I'll be more careful in the future."
Watching the two figures walk away, she smiled, but her heart bled.
Aunt Hua was unable to calm the pain in her heart for a long time, and she stared at the two people as they walked away, her gaze lingering on them.
But what did she see? The sickle in the girl's hand was gone!
"I...I saw a ghost?" Aunt Hua said, her lips trembling.
"What the heck?" asked the woman standing not far from her, frowning.
Aunt Hua pointed at the two men walking away, "Their sickles are gone!"
This sentence instantly attracted the attention of the women who came with her, and they all looked into the distance.
Suddenly, the girl had a sickle in her hand. The young man, on the other hand, always carried the same sickle.
One of them, quick-witted, slapped his thigh and said, "Quick, stop them! They're the ones who stole your grain!"
That girl must be one of those legendary space-manipulation users; no wonder she couldn't find the grain—she must have stored the wheat in her spatial dimension.
The group was startled, and they all remembered the rumor circulating in Suzhou: There is a fairy in the southern part of the city!
So a group of middle-aged women took off running towards Tong Xianbao and Yuan Ruoxi.
The two of them were originally taking a leisurely stroll.
But they could hear a rustling sound behind them, and every now and then a shout of "Stop!" Turning around, they were all shocked.
He ignored the sickle in his hand, threw it into the space, and ran.
Thinking that they were young, they should be able to shake off their pursuers quickly.
Unexpectedly, the two pampered children couldn't run fast enough, and the older woman, who did physical labor every day, caught up with them in no time.
There was no need for questioning anymore. He simply pinned the two of them to the ground and angrily said, "Ha, what excellent upbringing! You lie without batting an eye, fooling a bunch of us old ladies who've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. You're something else!"
"I never expected that a person with superpowers would do such a petty theft. It's so unfair of God that someone of your character like you was given superpowers. Don't be so smug, you'll get your comeuppance one day!"
"Yes, give Sister Hua back her food! If you don't give us an explanation today, we'll take this to the guard team! I don't believe that the alliance and the guard team can be so unreasonable and lawless."
Yuan Ruoxi was somewhat annoyed at herself for being so impatient just now, revealing her secret before even leaving the other party's monitoring range.
But she still refused to admit it: "You have no evidence, you can't frame me!"
Aunt Hua didn't waste any more words with her and directly hit Yuan Ruoxi with her sickle stick.
"You dare to eat my food! Don't think I can't handle the guards! If you don't return it to me today, I'll break your legs!"
Yuan Ruoxi screamed in pain, but still refused to spit out the things she had received in the space.
Tong Xianbao, standing to the side, was utterly stunned by his incompetent teammate.
He thought to himself, calling her stupid is an understatement; she's hopelessly stupid!
Putting aside the fact that he exposed his spatial abilities before leaving, rendering all his efforts futile.
What's wrong with you giving in now? We can just go somewhere else and get it done, right?
You insisted on confronting people head-on, and got beaten up like this. You really have no fear!
Tong Xianbao was restrained by a group of old women, and he couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried. Of course, it was also because he wasn't using much force.
He felt that if he went to help, he would definitely get beaten even worse than before. But he couldn't just stand by and watch.
So he pretended to be in great pain and cried out, "Let me go! Let me go! How are you, Ruoxi? It's all my fault for being so useless, unable to save you from this predicament! I'm useless, so utterly useless..."
Yuan Ruoxi felt she had lost both face and substance after being beaten. But hearing Tong Xianbao's heartfelt words, she suddenly felt she could hold on a little longer.
"Don't worry, Bao, I will protect our food with my life!" Yuan Ruoxi said.
Tong Xianbao blinked, and after confirming that he hadn't misheard, he felt ashamed of his little thoughts.
He shook his head: "No need, no need. It's good that you're alright. We can earn the rest!"
