Chapter 349 Afraid of being haunted by a fierce ghost
It was that old woman, struggling with her hands and feet, shouting for help.
But as soon as she shouted, she was choked by a mouthful of water. She began to wave her hands again, looking at the people on the shore with pleading eyes.
Everyone was stunned, and no one came back to their senses for a while.
"This old woman is really damnable, she actually dared to attack you!" Yang Yuhuan said angrily.
The rich brother also snorted coldly: "You deserve it!"
"Save..."
The old woman wanted to say save me, save me quickly, but the people on the shore looked at her indifferently.
Finally, an old man ran over and began to kowtow to everyone.
Several people who went into the water to save the child not long ago went down and dragged the old woman up. At this time, she was breathing less in and more out.
But it's okay, at least he's
still alive. Everyone made a fuss again, and Yuan Baobao and the others watched coldly.
When the old woman came to her senses, she sat on the ground, staring at Yuan Baobao's direction: "It's all your fault! You cursed my grandson, otherwise how could he..."
The old woman struggled to get up, but everyone stepped forward and pressed her shoulders, "Stop making trouble! The little princess was just kindly reminding you, it was you who came back late, who can you blame?"
"Besides, with your grandson's domineering temper, who do you think can persuade him?"
"That's right, how old is the little princess, how can you bear to push her in?"
Hearing what everyone said, the old woman was so angry that she spit out a big mouthful of water.
"You...you just saw that she was of a high status and deliberately bullied me!"
"It wasn't your grandson who fell, you said it was yours..."
The old woman was also very angry. They were neighbors from the same place. They would meet each other every day. It is said that a neighbor is better than a distant relative. At the critical moment, these people didn't even stand on her side...
However, she didn't think about it. If she was right, how could people help others?
The face of the old woman who was advised froze. If it was her child, she might collapse. Even if the little princess was innocent, people would always want to vent their anger at the critical moment.
"You...how can you be so ungrateful!"
The man waved his hand, stood up, and stayed away from the old woman.
"Her grandson will get into trouble sooner or later!" Yuan Baobao stepped forward and stood a distance away from the old woman, looking at her coldly.
"Do you know why your grandson died? If there is any possibility, I will save him!"
The old woman's eyes became redder, and she stretched out her hands and struggled, trying to catch Yuan Baobao.
Unfortunately, there were two people standing next to Yuan Baobao, Yang Yuhuan and Tuhao Ge looked at her with vigilance.
Yuan Baobao was not afraid, and his expression was still cold: "He is being killed!"
"Two years ago, was there a two-year-old girl drowned here?"
Yuan Baobao's voice was clear, and the onlookers quieted down.
Two years ago...
"My Niuniu!" A woman ran over and came to Yuan Baobao, but she didn't dare to get close. She stretched out her hand and asked tremblingly: "Yes, two years ago, my little granddaughter was only two years old. She accidentally fell from here. At that time, we didn't know she came to the reservoir. When we found her, the child had been dead for six or seven days."
"After the little granddaughter disappeared, we searched the whole village and even the mountains for several times. Her mother almost collapsed!"
The woman cried. She still remembered that the little granddaughter was very well-behaved, obedient and sensible. She would never come to the reservoir at ordinary times.
Because of this, they never thought that the little granddaughter would drown in the reservoir.
Now, suddenly hearing the news about the little granddaughter again, the woman still felt heartbroken.
Yuan Baobao looked at her with pity and sighed softly: "Your little granddaughter did not fall into the water accidentally!"
Everyone was shocked again. The old woman couldn't believe it at first, then she slapped her thigh and burst into tears: "I knew that my Niu Niu would never fall into the water accidentally. I have told her many times that the reservoir is dangerous and not to come here unless necessary. She didn't even dare to get close to the edge of the reservoir, how could she come here by herself?"
Thinking of what the little princess had just said, the old woman suddenly understood: "It was him! Was it her grandson who pushed my little granddaughter down?"
"Yes!" Yuan Baobao just said a simple word, and the tears in the old woman's eyes fell down, and she threw herself directly on the eldest mother, tearing and beating her!
"It's you! It's all your fault! When has my Niuniu ever offended you? Why do you let your grandson..."
Seeing this, everyone stepped back silently, and no one stepped forward to separate them.
Yuan Baobao's expression was still cold, and his eyes seemed to be looking at something through the two people fighting.
I don't know how long it took, but the old lady who fell into the water was beaten very badly. She was no match for the old woman at all. There were several bloody scratches on her face, and her hair was torn off in several handfuls, and even her scalp could be seen.
The clothes on her body were wrinkled and torn in several pieces.
Yuan Baobao sighed, this could be considered a cause and effect.
"Beautiful sister, ask someone to prepare something!"
Yuan Baobao said something in a deep voice.
Yang Yuhuan hesitated for a moment, and still went out to prepare.
"Little princess, is it really Niuniu who is asking for your life?"
A man in his 50s or 60s came over, his face full of fatigue and haggardness.
"Three people have drowned in this reservoir in the past five or six years!"
"They say there are water ghosts in it, but we can't fill up the reservoir, right?"
The man pointed to the wheat fields not far away, "Farmers rely on the water in the reservoir to irrigate the land. If this reservoir is filled up, then our land will become dry land, and it will be a problem whether we can have enough food in the future!"
"The land of several of our villages depends on this big reservoir! Little princess, please save us!"
The old man was very worried. They were also afraid of death and afraid of being haunted by fierce ghosts. But this reservoir really can't be filled.
Yuan Baobao stared at the reservoir with burning eyes and sighed, "If I'm not mistaken, the first person to get into trouble in recent years should be that lady, right?"
The old man was shocked: "Little, little princess, how did you know?"
The rich man curled his lips in disdain: "What doesn't the little princess know? She only took a look at the face of the old lady and knew that her grandson was going to be in trouble!"
The old man's face turned pale and he said hurriedly: "It is indeed so!"
The sun was too strong here. Yuan Baobao followed the crowd into the old man's house. The old man was the head of this village and he was not young.
Everyone in the village called him Uncle Wang.
"It's the sister-in-law of the eldest aunt you mentioned. That happened five or six years ago. The sister-in-law was a posthumous child, and the age gap between her and her brothers was quite large. After her parents died, she lived with her brothers. Later, when it was time to discuss marriage, the eldest aunt found a husband for her, who was from the next village..."
