Chapter 356: It is difficult to recognize a strange person
Drunk people often say that they are not drunk, and bad people often say that they are not bad people.
Then, in today's environment, will anyone believe Jiang Wanwan when she says that she is not evil?
As Jiang Wanwan walked to the door of the supermarket, her outline was revealed in the firelight in the distance, and her soft voice immediately caused a commotion among the people under the ancient tree.
They crowded together and shrank back one after another, as if they wanted to hide themselves at the end.
However, behind them was the thousand-year-old tree, and pushing and shoving only made them closer.
Of course, a dozen people crowded together, which could bring some psychological comfort.
In comparison, Shuanzi, who was closer, was frightened to the point of his legs going limp. He fell to the ground, curled up and trembling.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Wanwan could only sigh helplessly, feeling a kind of grievance that she could not explain. She
had already told them that she was not evil, but why didn't these people understand? Was she also so unreasonable when she was afraid of being evil?
Fortunately, there was still a resolute and courageous person among this group of people.
When Jiang Wanwan was thinking hard about what she should say to better calm the tension of these people.
The only young man who was still standing upright next to Shuanzi clasped his fists and spoke, breaking the awkward silence.
"I am Li Chengzhi. Because of the evil in my hometown, I had no choice but to leave my hometown with my fellow villagers and rush to Lancheng to save my life. I want to borrow the ancient tree to shelter from the wind. I will leave at dawn tomorrow. I hope you will agree. If we disturb you, we can leave now!"
Great, finally there is someone to talk to, Jiang Wanwan is relieved.
However, she can't invite him enthusiastically, after all, those who are attentive for no reason are either treacherous or thieves. She
just smiled and replied: "My name is Jiang Wanwan, you don't have to be so polite, this is not my territory, of course you can rest, but I seem to have scared your companions."
Jiang Wanwan glanced at Shuanzi who had not yet climbed up from the ground, and then glanced behind the fire. Because of her eyes, some noisy people appeared again.
Finally, she assured him earnestly, "I'm sorry, but I really don't mean any harm!"
Li Chengzhi also looked back at everyone with a soothing look in his eyes, and then he looked at Jiang Wanwan again.
"They have never been out of the village before, they are ignorant and timid, so they have a misunderstanding. We should apologize, and I hope Miss Jiang doesn't blame us!"
Jiang Wanwan opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she only said, "Okay! Then you comfort them."
Hearing this, Li Chengzhi nodded in gratitude, and then bent down to pull up the Shuanzi under his feet.
Seeing this, Jiang Wanwan thought for a moment and reminded, "By the way, don't forget the dead branches on the ground. It's cold at night and it's not easy to have the fire extinguished!"
Li Chengzhi was stunned, and then replied with some surprise, "Yes, thank you Miss Jiang for your consideration."
Then, he first pulled up Shuanzi, whose legs were weak, and walked to the front of the fire and pushed them to everyone. Then he turned around and walked over, picked up the dead branches scattered on the ground, and then returned to the crowd.
With Li Chengzhi's return, the timid people in Lijia Village relaxed a little and gathered around.
Under Li Chengzhi's comfort, although everyone felt uneasy, they still sat down around the fire.
Someone looked at the supermarket with concern, and then asked in a very low voice: "Brother Zhi, isn't that really evil?"
"Look at the clothes she wears and how she is dressed, she doesn't look like a human!"
"Oh, I'm still scared, or let's go!"
"Yes, it's better to go out at night than to stay here!"
Li Chengzhi looked around and saw everyone's uneasy expressions, and explained in a low voice with a controlled volume.
"It's cold at night, and the elderly and children can't walk. Besides, Lancheng is closed at night. Even if we rush over, we have to spend the night outside. There are no big trees outside the city to block the wind, which will only make it more difficult."
"What should we do?"
"Is it really safe to stay here?"
"Was that really a human just now?"
Li Chengzhi also looked back at the supermarket, and then said again.
"We have nowhere to go now, so staying here is the best option. As for whether the other party is a human, I can't be sure, but judging from her attitude, she shouldn't be malicious."
"In short, don't worry. If the other party is malicious, we can't escape no matter what. If the other party is not malicious, aren't you worrying in vain? It's better to take care of yourself and rest up!"
After hearing this advice, everyone's originally anxious mood gradually relaxed a little.
Although they were still a little worried and would look over here in the supermarket from time to time, they also started to do some of their own things.
For example, taking out dry food from the tattered bag and roasting it to eat, or taking off shoes to pick the blisters on the feet...
It was windy outside at night, and their conversation was low, so it couldn't be heard in the supermarket.
But Jiang Wanwan sat back down, didn't she have internal strength to rely on!
The internal force covered her ears, and she could hear everything clearly, and her originally distressed expression became unpredictable.
Jiang Wanwan was still thinking about how to start the conversation to introduce the supermarket so as not to arouse vigilance, and then invite them to come in and shop.
But she didn't expect that Li Chengzhi, who she thought had believed in her, didn't really trust her, and the other party was just gambling helplessly!
This is really... too difficult!
Shouldn't Jiang Wanwan be thankful that she didn't rashly invite people into the supermarket during the previous conversation, otherwise the scene would have been very embarrassing!
But how can she really gain the other party's trust now? Everything seems to have returned to the starting point.
Well, let's wait and see!
If she can't find the right opportunity, she can probably only wait until dawn when their vigilance has dropped before mentioning it.
Jiang Wanwan came back to her senses and glanced at the dark supermarket. She hesitated for fear of alerting those people, so she didn't turn on the light on her mobile phone. She
just used the faint light from the fire outside to pay close attention to the situation and movements of those people.
She saw them take out something, heat it by the fire, and then carefully put it to their mouths and eat it.
Jiang Wanwan watched without blinking, and her eyes were almost blinded before she finally saw it clearly.
I don't know what the dry biscuit is made of. The taste should not be very good. It is dry, hard, hard to chew and swallow.
As for Jiang Wanwan, she has never eaten it either. How does she know what it tastes like?
Of course, it's because she saw it!
Jiang Wanwan saw that those old, young, sick and weak people were chewing hard, and then swallowing with a choking sound in their necks.
In particular, the weak woman next to Li Chengzhi took a bite and chewed for a long time but couldn't swallow it. Instead, she started coughing, which made Li Chengzhi very anxious.
Seeing this, Jiang Wanwan suddenly thought of a topic for conversation.
