Xu Erdan had already made up his mind as soon as he returned to the village: to frame Zheng Ya as an enemy agent, eliminate this rival in love, and gain merit and reward.
Driven by the hope of killing two birds with one stone, Xu Erdan whispered in the old village chief's ear that Secretary Xu's phone call to verify Zheng Ya's identity had yielded an error, and that if the identity did not match, then Zheng Ya was suspected of being an enemy agent.
The old village chief didn't really trust Xu Erdan, this opportunistic fellow, which is why he deliberately arranged for Xu Erdan to be his errand boy.
Running errands and sabotaging his rival in love were all part of the old village chief's scheme to trap Xu Erdan and create an opportunity for this opportunist.
Naturally, he didn't believe Xu Erdan's one-sided accusation that Zheng Ya was an enemy agent, but the old village chief nodded slightly and whispered, "Well, then you should follow Secretary Xu's instructions and expose his true colors."
"Alright, Uncle Village Chief, just you wait and see!" Xu Erdan was ordered to approach Zheng Ya and confront him: "Kid, your height is different from Zheng Ya's 1.7 meters at eighteen years old."
And your fair but not thin face doesn't match the verification information for a slender, wheat-colored complexion.
Of course, the commune leaders gave instructions, teaching us not to condemn everyone indiscriminately, and to give you the opportunity to prove your identity.
"You tell everyone, where is the birthmark?"
One's facial features and height can change during breakthroughs in martial arts cultivation.
Only birthmarks that you are born with will not change.
Zheng Ya's birthmark is located on the Baihui acupoint, and Xu Erdan is betting that Zheng Ya doesn't know the location of his birthmark.
Director Wang explained it very clearly: ever since Zheng Ya's hair grew back, it has covered the birthmark on his Baihui acupoint.
Unconsciously, we neglect to observe and mention birthmarks in our daily lives.
If no one had mentioned the location of Zheng Ya's birthmark to her face, Zheng Ya would not have known the location of her birthmark.
Right now, Zheng Ya is a mess. Her height, face shape, and skin tone don't match up. That's ridiculous, isn't it?
The Tower of Babel teleports natives of the Qian Yuan Continent to the myriad worlds of the starry sky to find and merge with a recently deceased or injured and unconscious human body, perfectly replicating everything about that person, including their memories and information.
However, Zheng Ya also realized at this time that the new body he had created by merging with the body was different from the new body created by merging with the human body transmitted by the Tower of Babel. It presented three soul memories merging into one body, and then the energy was transformed into the dragon turtle and wild boar herd to merge into the new body. There was an error?
Despite little change in height, face shape, and skin color, Zheng Ya, without looking in a mirror, could immediately tell that Xu Erdan was lying, thanks to his all-around perception ability derived from the fusion of his three superpowers.
But Zheng Ya really didn't know where the birthmark was located.
In a moment of panic, Zheng Ya activated his senses and discovered that his perception could not see through clothes and hair; he was only particularly sensitive to the heat of animals. He was numb.
How should we deal with this?
There were over three hundred people watching the play, and several unmarried men among them became excited when they saw his timid appearance!
Seeing that the unmarried men in the village seemed poised to gang up on Zheng Ya, Xu Qi approached the old village chief and said, "Uncle Village Chief, shall I personally escort Comrade Zheng Ya to the commune to verify his identity?"
"What do you mean, you strange woman?" Xu Erdan felt greatly insulted; he wouldn't have been this angry even if he had expressed his opposition.
Distrust and indifference mean you look down on him as a person?
Xu Qi stopped to the right of the old village chief, turned to the angry Xu Erdan and said, "He is the man I brought back to the village."
I have an obligation and responsibility to address his identity issue!
"You're so upset, you've scared the children in the village. Are you lying because you feel guilty, or are you deliberately making things difficult for people..."
"I didn't, you're talking nonsense, Uncle Village Chief, you can't let her get away with this. The things you asked me to do are my responsibility!" Xu Erdan argued, jumping up and down.
Unmarried men rallied and echoed the sentiment, supporting Xu Erdan.
They all loved to stir up trouble and attack their love rivals.
The old village chief, Men Qing, sat on a large rock and tapped his pipe to quell the commotion before finally speaking to set the tone: "What are you all arguing about?"
These grown men, instead of working, are always thinking about trivial things. Aren't they ashamed?
You've ruined the reputation of Xujiazhuang!
Aren't you ashamed? I'm afraid of being gossiped about behind my back when I leave the village.
Everyone, step aside. Let Xu Erdan explain this matter in public, and then have the extraordinary woman take Comrade Zheng Ya to the commune for confirmation.
"Alright, Xu Erdan, you go first?"
"I... I want him to reveal the location of his birthmark in public to verify his identity?" Xu Erdan said frantically as he turned to Zheng Ya.
These days, it's not uncommon for people to be framed, killed, and then their crimes brought to justice.
In order to avoid taking responsibility afterward, the villagers would all give the same story.
When it came to Xu Erdan, the plan was to solidify Zheng Ya's claim that he was an enemy agent, frame the old village chief for making foolish mistakes that led to deaths, and remove the village chief so that Xu Erdan could have the opportunity to become the new village chief.
At worst, we can send some more gifts to smooth things over with the commune leaders.
It wouldn't be difficult to get the villagers to maintain Xujiazhuang's reputation and agree on a unified story.
These days, reputation is the foundation of everything.
If your reputation is ruined, you'll face gossip and criticism when you go out, and it will also cause problems for people in your village to find wives.
The old village chief knew perfectly well that Xu Erdan should perform, and Xu Qi and the villagers couldn't stop him, so they acquiesced.
Zheng Ya smiled: "Since you have confirmed where my birthmark is, just come up and verify it. Please?"
"You, you're just making excuses!"
What if you are possessed by an evil spirit...?
"Haha, old village chief, that's feudal superstition..."
"Alright, Xu Erdan, you're clinging to the old ways and publicly promoting feudal superstition. Do you want to ruin the reputation of the villagers?" The old village chief stood up and scolded.
Superstition can be practiced in secret, and no one will report it.
To engage in superstition in public, in front of outsiders, is suicidal!
Xu Erdan suddenly realized what he had said, broke out in a cold sweat, and waved his hands and shook his head in denial: "No, I didn't, I misspoke in my haste..."
"That's enough! Do you have any concrete evidence to prove that Comrade Zheng Ya's identity is inconsistent with the actual situation?" The old village chief began to challenge him.
The people of Zhuangli were delighted to see the spectacle, having received Zheng Ya's favor.
Even the unmarried men were silent at this point. Xu Erdan had connections and frequently made things difficult for the old village chief. This was a case of collateral damage when superiors fought; it was best to stay away.
Unable to find any help, Xu Erdan backed down: "I'll ask Secretary Xu to call and verify. Comrade Zheng Ya's birthmark is on the Baihui acupoint..."
"Could some kind auntie or grandma give me a pair of scissors? Thanks!" Zheng Ya clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and asked for a favor.
An elderly woman pulled a pair of scissors from her inner pocket, stepped out of the crowd, and handed it to him: "Young man, take this and use it?"
"Thank you!" Zheng Ya took the scissors and, in full view of everyone, cut off his ear-length black hair. With the help of his supernatural vision and agile movements, he quickly cut off a buzz cut.
The old village chief and Xu Qi and others approached to take a look, and indeed there was a birthmark resembling a lotus flower on Zheng Ya's Baihui acupoint.
With the truth revealed, Xu Erdan decisively slipped away.
Zheng Ya pretended not to see it. The old village chief was very satisfied with his kind attitude and smiled, "Your identity is not a problem."
Let Xu Qi take you to the commune to avoid any further trouble on the way!
"Thank you, but I have to go into the mountains to track down the murderer who killed me. I'll be passing through the commune on my way back to report. Goodbye!" Zheng Ya headed towards the mountains.
Xu Qi handed Bao'er over to the old village chief, picked up his bow and arrows, and chased after them...
