Chapter 519 Fox Spirit
"I'll go down and take a look. Chengxian, you wait for me here!"
Fang Chengxian opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Xu Jingzhen turned around and rushed to the door, disappearing in an instant.
Fang Chengxian said helplessly to Duoshou beside him, "I know I'm not feeling well, and I was just about to tell him not to worry about me, but he ran off before I could even say it."
Duo Shou glanced down at the crowd below, which had been brought under control by the street patrol, before turning back to Fang Chengxian and saying, "My lord, Third Master Xu is just worried about Third Lady Li."
Fang Chengxian shook his head and said nothing more. He just leaned out the window again, trying to see what had happened there.
Seeing that the patrol had brought the situation under control, Li's mother and the others stopped retreating into the shop.
The shopkeeper was leading several employees forward, trying to get the girls participating in the competition to leave the area where the woman, who had drawn a long knife, was confronting the woman with a bloodstained butcher's knife.
But something provoked this strong woman, and she suddenly raised her butcher knife and slashed at the five women.
The surrounding crowd immediately started shouting. The men were so frightened that they abandoned the women and tried to back away.
Upon seeing this while patrolling the streets, how could I allow this burly woman to harm anyone?
One of the patrolmen shouted sternly, "Stop!"
But the strong woman seemed to have gone mad, still heading straight for the five women, raising her knife and slashing at one of them.
The timid women in the crowd dared not watch any longer, and shouted as they turned their heads away, afraid of seeing the gruesome sight of the woman's blood splattered on the spot.
After two "thud" sounds, there was a "clang" as the knife fell to the ground, followed by a blood-curdling beast's cry that rang in everyone's ears.
"Ah! I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"
"Ah! You vixen! I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"
When the woman who had been too afraid to look turned around again, the burly woman had already had her arms tied behind her back and her knees kicked, forcing her to kneel on the ground.
The butcher knife naturally fell to the ground, but there were still two bloodstains on the ground.
Li San Niang first covered Lu Zhu'er's eyes, then she opened her eyes herself and saw the whole scene.
In the blink of an eye, as the burly woman slashed at one of the five women, the patrolman's long knife also swung out, but the patrolman's knife was used to block the butcher's knife.
But it was too fast. The patrolling officer only managed to parry once, not completely blocking the butcher's knife, so one of the women was still cut by it.
The second blow from the patrolling man struck the burly woman's arm, stopping her in her tracks. After the butcher's knife fell to the ground, another patrolling man stepped forward, kicked the woman's knee, and then twisted her hands behind her back, leading to the scene just now.
Only three or four breaths had passed when Li San Niang heard the burly woman cursing.
Li Sanniang swallowed hard, thinking to herself, "Making money by patrolling the streets is not easy."
My second thought was, "This cleaver used for patrolling the streets is truly a fine cleaver."
"Mother? Mother?"
Not only did Li San Niang cover Dewdrop's eyes, but she also pulled her directly into her arms, burying her face in Li San Niang's embrace, where she was held tightly by Li San Niang.
Dewdrop must have felt suffocated by now, which is why she called Li San Niang over.
Li San Niang quickly loosened her embrace, freeing Lu Zhu'er's head from her chest. She then gently bounced her around, changing her position so that Lu Zhu'er could sit more comfortably in her arms.
Dewdrop is just a little child, and she has the natural inclination to watch the excitement.
With the danger over, Li San Niang no longer restricted Lu Zhu'er from looking in that direction, as she herself was curious about what had happened.
Apart from the woman's sobbing and the two pools of blood dripping on the ground, the scene was actually alright; there was nothing that children couldn't see.
Oh, as for the burly woman's unpleasant curses, Li San Niang didn't actually think they were that dirty. The women arguing in the alley where the Li family lived usually cursed much dirtier.
Both Li's mother and Li San Niang told Lu Zhu'er that she could listen, but not learn to swear. Lu Zhu'er was a good child, so they were at ease about that.
Therefore, Li San Niang did not forbid her from sitting in her lap and looking in that direction.
Judging from what the burly woman was saying, one of the girls participating in the needle-threading competition must have been promiscuous.
Otherwise, one wouldn't be able to utter such an insulting term as "fox spirit."
Actually, there has been some progress on the field recently.
The woman's arm was slashed by a butcher's knife, and the cut was quite deep, with blood seeping through her clothes and dripping onto the ground.
The burly woman, who had also been stabbed in the arm, seemed to feel no pain. Even though a pool of blood was dripping from the spot where she was kneeling, it didn't stop her from cursing.
The burly woman was forced to kneel on the ground. The patrolmen had already tied her hands behind her back with rope, but she was still cursing at the other woman, who was also injured in the arm, who was not far away.
"ah!
I hate it!
I hate it so much!
You vixen! You're that fox spirit in disguise, you're a monster, I deserve to burn you alive with firewood!
You seduced my man, you…
The patrolman had never seen a woman who, despite being stabbed and bleeding profusely, still had the energy to yell and curse. He had no choice but to find a cloth and stuff it into the woman's mouth to quiet her down.
The woman who had been slashed by the butcher's knife was lying on the ground crying. The shopkeeper stood aside, first bowing and thanking the patrolman, then directing his staff to quickly find a doctor and arrange for people to evacuate the crowd. Although no one had died, there had been bloodshed. How could the needle-threading competition continue?
Among the onlookers were some kind-hearted people. The shopkeeper said that if they could help take care of the woman who was lying on the ground clutching her arm, he would thank them and give them a 50% discount on anything they bought at the shop.
“I am a man after all, so it is not appropriate for me to go forward. I just banged the gong and called out, but none of the woman’s family members came together.”
Then two old women from the nearby crowd came forward and pulled up the woman, who had collapsed to the ground clutching her injured arm, from the ground, her legs trembling with fear.
Four people were patrolling the streets. One was specifically watching the strong woman, one went to call the constable who was in charge of handling matters, and the remaining two were maintaining order.
This is probably human nature; we just love to watch the excitement.
Now that the burly woman who was in danger has been subdued and is no longer at risk of injury, the crowd, who were originally planning to flee, have all stopped and are standing at the crossroads watching what is going on.
"Hearing the insults about a vixen, it must be that woman who stole this woman's husband, right?"
"The way you're saying that makes it sound like Lang Xu was cheating on this woman with another man!"
"Hey, look at this woman. Not only is she dark-skinned, but she also has a bulbous, flat nose and is so fleshy. It's quite understandable that her husband would choose that woman."
After the man said this, the women beside him looked at him with contempt and disdain. "What did I say wrong?"
"You're so unreasonable!"
Adultery is against the law and is a crime punishable by imprisonment.
You actually say you can understand?
"Aren't you the one who's been having an affair?"
