Su Nian and Chu Beichen were both stunned. Chu Beichen soon realized, "This thing is mine, but I didn't give it to you. You stole it from me!"
The thin widow Xie Na suddenly became anxious. Although life in Donghuo Village was hard, people left their doors unlocked at night and did not pick up things on the road. In this place, stealing was a serious accusation.
"No, no, this was clearly a gift from you to me after you got together. Look, it's still ticking," Xie Na held the watch high.
Chu Beichen was very angry. His watch was a high-end product, so it was normal for it to work.
To be honest, it is very inconvenient not to have a fully automatic watch. Chu Beichen has been wondering where he put this thing in the past few days. Seeing Xie Na's unreasonable look, he frowned and reached out to snatch the watch from Xie Na's hand.
"Su Nian, wipe my watch." After doing this, Chu Beichen frowned and looked at Xie Na, "Why did you lie?"
Xie Na glanced at Chu Beichen's face and felt that his eyes were clearly black and white. She felt a little guilty, but in order to stay in the warm cabin and enjoy the delicious food, she gritted her teeth and continued to lie, "This is true. That day you dragged me to the cedar forest..."
Su Nian laughed, "You mean it's so cold, Beichen dragged you to the cedar forest to have sex? How is that possible?"
It's unlikely, but Xie Na has two children at home, so she couldn't lie with her eyes open and say that Chu Beichen went to her house. Xie Na could only bite the bullet and say, "He dragged me to the cedar forest..."
"Alright, stop wasting your energy. Lift your head and let the old village chief and the witch doctor see your face," Chu Beichen smiled and said to the people in the room, "Do you think I'm blind? Why would I drag a woman like this to the cedar forest?"
The old village chief and the witch doctor looked at each other. It was indeed true. Chu Beichen and Su Nian standing together looked like a golden boy and a jade girl. The man was handsome and the woman was pretty, which was pleasing to the eye at first sight.
The thin widow stood beside them, shriveled and thin, with a sallow complexion and a wretched expression, looking like a dirty old rag.
The village chief couldn't help but frown. "Xena, let me ask you one more question. Are you telling the truth? You have to understand that lying and stealing are serious crimes in our village!"
Xie Na was sweating a little, but when she thought that she had no way to prove her words and Chu Beichen had no way to prove that she was lying, she made up her mind and continued to stick to what she said.
Now the old village chief and the witch doctor were a little worried. Both sides insisted on their own opinions. Who was lying?
Su Nian thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Old Village Chief? Please take Xie Na back first. My husband has a very obvious characteristic. If he really is in a relationship with Xie Na, Xie Na will definitely know. Please ask her to go home and think carefully about this characteristic. If she can think of it, I'm sure Beichen will accept her!"
Su Nian's words made perfect sense. The bearded village chief put his hands behind his back and prepared to take Xie Na away. "Let's go. Go home and think about it. We'll talk again when you remember the details of that day!"
Xie Na rolled her eyes. She was thinking about the characteristics of the person. It was nothing more than a scar on the waist or back or a congenital birthmark. If they were really in the snow, everyone would probably be too cold to take a closer look, so it was most likely that the characteristics could be felt by the hands.
"Wait, I remember now. There's a scar on Chu's waist," Xie Na began to talk nonsense. She stretched out her finger and gestured with her little finger, "It's about half the size of my finger!"
"I can't remember the exact location. I was so panicked at the time."
"Is it a scar or a mole? I can't remember. I just remember feeling something with my hand!"
Xie Na felt that she was very cunning. As long as Chu Beichen had a scar or a mole on his body, she could say that she understood him.
The bearded village chief asked several times, and Xie Na nodded and insisted that she had indeed touched it.
Chu Beichen nodded, turned around and took off his shirt, "Village Chief, come and take a look, I don't have any scars or moles on my body, nothing at all!"
The bearded village chief circled around Chu Beichen twice and found that he was strong, with smooth muscles and elastic skin without a single blemish. He frowned and looked at Xie Na, "Chu, there's nothing on your body. I want to know how you got it out?"
Xie Na was already panicking, "I really can't remember clearly, but I remember it was there at the time. Maybe I remembered it wrongly?"
The witch doctor slowly stood up. "Alright, stop pretending. It's obvious you're lying. You just swore you had something, but now we can't find it and you say no. You're changing so fast!"
In the village, the witch doctor's words were more effective than the village chief's. Seeing that the witch doctor was convinced that she was lying, Xie Na's legs suddenly became limp. She sat directly on the ground, staring at the village chief with lifeless eyes.
"Village chief, please help me. I don't have any food at home. If I can't find someone to feed me, I'm going to starve to death!"
Due to the limitations of natural conditions and hunting tools, even a capable hunter cannot support too many idle people. Therefore, in this situation, women like Xie Na who are not pretty and lazy become unsalable goods.
The village chief looked at Chu Beichen and wanted to let him raise Xie Na, but when he thought about his previous setbacks, he felt that Chu Beichen would not take on this responsibility.
"How about this? You go back first. I can give you some prey to last you through the winter. When the next sunny day comes, it will be the market in Cedar Forest. Then we'll take you there to try your luck!"
The market is actually a place where people exchange what they have. In this place, women who cannot get married, including Xie Na, can also try their luck.
Seeing that the village chief was willing to help her, Xie Na's eyes became lively again, "Village chief, I haven't eaten beef for several days!"
"Oh," the witch doctor waved his hand in disgust. Xie Na was such a woman who didn't know what was good or bad. It was good enough that someone was willing to help for free in this situation. But she was so picky and ordered the dishes herself. What kind of thing was that?
"Xena, just be quiet. If you continue like this, the village chief won't be able to help you!"
Xie Na glanced at Chu Beichen cautiously, then turned to the village chief, "I think some of the village rules should be changed. For example, a man as young and skilled in hunting as Chu should keep more women!"
Chu Beichen smiled coldly, "Xie Na, don't expect me to support you for nothing. Let me ask you, how did my watch come into your hands?"
Chu Beichen finally realized that Xie Na was a tough guy. Once you feel sorry for her, she will take advantage of you and climb up.
