Sensing the obvious sarcasm in her words, Xu Nian lifted her eyelids and sneered, "Auntie, you're really good with words. Be careful that heaven doesn't shut you up."
Rebuked, Wang Jinmei recalled her previous mute state, glared angrily at Xu Nian, and stormed off.
[I strongly suggest the streamer beat the shrew.]
[She's the village chief's wife, and she can't move yet, but the streamer really looked cool scaring her just now!]
Xu Nian glanced at it, then flashed a fawning smile, "Everyone, please follow me if you're interested~"
[Damn, this streamer is pandering to fans, I've reported her!]
Seeing this, Xu Nian reluctantly withdrew his gaze, but as the amount of silver changed from twenty taels to forty taels, he felt quite pleased with himself.
The sky quickly darkened, a chilly wind blew, and the villagers huddled together, already exhausted.
Xu Nian looked at the two children who were still running a fever and sighed almost imperceptibly.
She just consulted the oracle again; there must be something strange about the surroundings.
But the villagers were exhausted, and no one listened to her or was willing to keep watch.
As a result, Xu Nian could only be careful on her own, pretending to be sleepy and leaning against Da Bao and Er Bao, but she was always on guard against any movement.
As the moon gradually rose, everyone around prepared to go to sleep, including the village chief.
Wang Jinmei looked at Xu Nian's expectant expression and snorted coldly, "Always so suspicious, I spit on you!"
Xu Nian ignored her and instead began to expand her mind slightly to explore the surroundings.
Suddenly, Xu Nian was startled.
Hidden in several houses in that village was a group of bandits who were eyeing the village with predatory intent!
It seems they plan to capture them all after the villagers have gone to sleep.
[Damn, those bandits are utterly inhuman.]
【What should we do? We definitely can't beat these villagers!】
Xu Nian gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound, but pretended not to know and continued to rest.
The bandits will definitely go all out. Although she can use talismans, Da Bao and Er Bao have fevers now. If a fight really breaks out, she will definitely be too busy to take care of herself.
Looking at the sleeping villagers, Xu Nian felt a headache coming on.
Under the bright moonlight, the bandits hiding in the village of Wuren were ready.
"Brothers, let's go!"
At the command of the leader, the bandits charged toward the villagers like madmen.
Although the noise wasn't loud, it still woke up some villagers.
Seeing the scene before them, they were terrified and shouted at the top of their lungs, "Get up! Bandits are robbing us!"
The villagers, rubbing their sleepy eyes, were startled awake by the sight of the bandits brandishing their swords like mad dogs.
"Help! Someone come quick!"
A woman was holding her child tightly when she was thrown to the ground by bandits. The child cried and pushed the bandits away, which enraged the bandits.
"You little brat, how dare you push me, your grandpa! Die!"
Just as the knife was about to pierce the child, a powerful aura suddenly spread out.
"Hurry, hurry, as the law commands! Fire, come forth!"
Yellow talismans rained down from the sky, landing on the bandits and instantly igniting into raging flames that scorched their clothes.
"Oh no! There's a fire! Put it out quickly!"
The bandits were in a panic, frantically trying to put out the fire, but found it was no use, and they all rolled on the ground in agony.
I remember this is the trick I used when dealing with wolves!
[That's right, that's right. They even tell us to believe in science, but who can believe that?!]
Xu Nian stood with his hands behind his back, holding a talisman in his hand, his gaze calm.
The villagers were all stunned by what they saw.
What, what's going on?!
They thought they would surely die here today, but Xu Nian actually stepped forward and used a strange power, which shocked them.
"Help me! I'm being burned to death!"
The bandits cried out and screamed, desperately trying to extinguish the flames with their bodies.
Do you know your mistake?
Seeing that things had gone far enough, Xu Nian deliberately lowered her voice, took a few steps forward, and said calmly, "Your burning, killing, and looting are all deserved."
"We were wrong, we were wrong, Grandma knows we were wrong!"
Although the bandits were arrogant, seeing that their lives were in danger, none of them dared to shout anymore. They all knelt down on the ground, crying and begging for mercy, "Please let us go, we will be burned to death if this continues!"
Xu Nian clenched her right hand slightly, and the raging fire vanished in an instant, as if it had never been there.
The bandits were immediately relieved, and after thanking him tremblingly, they fled without a care in the world.
Robbery? What a joke!
If they stay any longer, their lives will be in danger!
After the bandits had fled in a panic, the villagers mustered their courage and approached Xu Nian's side, their eyes filled with astonishment.
"Who...who are you?"
Although they had been fleeing famine for a long time, they were still quite sharp-minded. Xu Nian had only chanted a few incantations, and suddenly flames appeared on the bodies of that group of people. This must be some kind of magic!
The village chief looked even more solemn, staring at the half-burnt talisman on the ground. After hesitating for a long time, he finally asked, "What did you just use?"
Xu Nian felt a headache coming on when she saw that everyone's eyes were fixed on her.
How should I put it? She was thrown here by her cheap master to undergo tribulation, and she happened to save them on the way to escape famine.
“I was taught by a reclusive master who taught me many talismans to protect myself, which is why I can use such powerful abilities.”
Xu Nian made up a lie without revealing her true identity.
"This, this is a demigod!"
Immediately, villagers reacted and said excitedly.
They never imagined that they would see a figure like a demigod in their lifetime!
Wang Jinmei, however, did not jump out and shout again. Instead, she hid in a corner where no one could see her, fearing that Xu Nian would put the fire on her.
"Wait a minute, did you know beforehand that you would be going down the mountain later, and that there was danger here?"
The village chief immediately noticed this and asked, bowing respectfully.
Although he was the village chief, with such a powerful figure standing before him, even he had to obediently bow his head.
"That's right, but none of you listened to me."
Seeing that the village chief quickly believed her, Xu Nian simply went all out and snorted coldly, saying, "If it weren't for me today, you would probably all be dead. If I offer any advice in the future, you'd better listen carefully!"
Upon hearing this, none of the villagers objected; on the contrary, they were extremely excited.
This guy is practically a demigod!
With Xu Nian by their side, their journey to escape the famine would undoubtedly be much easier.
"No problem, Master Xu!"
[Xu Bansian, hahaha, what the hell?!]
[Let's rename the streamer's channel: Master Xu's Famine-Struck Life.]
Xu Nian's face darkened, but she still accepted the title.
Exhausted from the chaotic battle, everyone fell into a deep sleep once more.
