Chapter 160

"She is so vicious, how can she blame me for putting her in such a situation? She is clearly digging her own grave, what does it have to do with me?"

The lady asked.

Le Yuan said: "This is your one-sided statement. Don't believe it completely. Moreover, who knows if you are confusing right and wrong? You have tried to kill me several times before. Now, you are about to be killed by Xu Miaoman. It is not impossible that you say these words to excuse yourself."

The lady said angrily: "Someone come! Someone come!"

Paradise asked, "What do you want?"

The lady sneered, "Me? I want to lock you up again! Even if you have the ability to do anything, if Xu Miaoman kills everyone here and floods the whole city, you will definitely not be able to escape. How scared do you think I am? Even if I die, countless people will be buried with me, and you will be the first to bear the brunt. I don't think it's a pity."

Leyuan said, "You can't catch me, so why should I ask you to catch me again?"

The lady patted her clothes, sat on the ground and asked, "Don't you know that the police can come a second time?"

Leyuan said: "It doesn't matter. It's not like they are here and I have to surrender."

The lady said, "Then let me ask you, Xu Miaoman has been here, right? What did she say to you? She also asked you to come back with us. Otherwise, what can you do outside? You won't know anything about us anymore. Do you think Xu Miaoman will let you go so easily?"

Leyuan said: "Xu Miaoman would never treat me the way she treats you."

The lady laughed and said, "Too naive. It is no longer a human being."

Le Yuan held her shoulders and twisted them. The lady's shoulders were dislocated. The lady's face turned pale. Le Yuan smiled and said, "Don't say things I don't like to hear. Otherwise, I really don't want to tolerate you. You are already annoying enough."

The lady endured the pain and said, "What I said is the truth!"

Leyuan removed her other arm as well and said to her, "I know it's part of the truth, it's true, but I'm not the person involved, so who knows? I can't listen to you completely, and I can't say you're always right, so you should be more sober. Besides, countless unscrupulous businessmen will use the excuse that they didn't say the effect is 100% after use, but you? You may not be any better."

The lady gritted her teeth and said, "I will arrange a guest room for you, clean it, and have someone serve you. Don't treat me like this. I promise that I will not involve you in future matters."

Leyuan said: "I don't believe your promise, but I really don't want to live in a cell. It would be great if you are willing to give me a guest room."

He let go of her hand and said with a smile, "Let's go!"

The lady glared at him and said, "But it's my hand! Can't you change my hand back to its original shape before you leave? How can I do my job?"

Leyuan said, "Why don't you just go find a doctor? It's just a small matter and you don't need me to stay with you any longer."

The lady said, "Don't push your luck! Why should I go to the doctor? This is clearly your fault. If you don't take responsibility, I will go to someone else. Do you think the doctor is free? Even if he is free, he won't treat me for free just because he is rich like me. Why should I give him money? It's suffering anyway. Give my hand back now!"

Otherwise I won’t give you a room.”

Leyuan said, "Guest room? I'm not really that interested."

As he spoke, he walked over and muttered to the lady, "You insist on me coming, don't you? Okay."

After hearing two snapping sounds, the lady's hand was healed.

The lady raised her hand and wanted to slap Leyuan, but her arm was too weak and it was a little painful. Her face turned red and white for a while and she looked embarrassed and ashamed. She almost bit her lips until they bled. The Marquis hurried over to support her and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. Let's not make trouble."

The lady slapped him and said angrily: "You only know how to make a big thing small!"

The Marquis sighed: "Big things become small, small things become nothing, what's wrong with a prosperous family?"

The lady snorted, "Now that I can't go in again to solve the problem of Xu Miaoman, I can only go home now. I need to rest and come back tomorrow after I'm done. Let's go to another place and invite someone with a name and surname. It doesn't matter if they are monks or Taoist priests, whether they are masters or villains, as long as they are useful, they are good people. If they can't solve the problem, we can talk about it later."

The Marquis said, "I see, I see."

The two of them carried each other home.

Leyuan followed them, strolled to the assigned guest room, stayed there and spent the night.

The next morning at breakfast, it was still dawn and I heard roosters crowing. I opened my eyes, but the house was still dark and I could not see much. I heard the footsteps of a group of people outside, walking back and forth, seemingly very busy. No one knocked on the door, and no one approached to talk. Leyuan felt that he had nothing to do, so he lay down and went to sleep again. His dream was also very quiet, and there was no Xu Miaoman.

When he woke up again, it was daybreak. There was no one outside and it was very quiet, as if everyone had left. He inexplicably smelled a bloody smell in the park and walked out following the smell. He did not see anyone else for a long distance, but after walking out the door, he looked up and saw a high bonfire in the distance. It was pitch black inside and he had no idea what was piled inside.

Leyuan stood in the corner, not wanting to get close because he felt it might be dangerous, so he just listened to the sounds from a distance.

The flames over there were crackling, and someone was stuffing some dry firewood into the fire, which caused another crackling sound.

At first, they were very quiet. No one spoke, and no one moved. Then a man who was standing somewhere spoke up and said, "Today, we gather here not to die, but to live. To live, we must make sacrifices! The sacrifices are not to the evildoers who killed our relatives and friends, but to ask for forgiveness from God.

The reason why our lives are so painful and full of difficulties is definitely because God thinks that we are not respectful enough and have offended Him. We need some sacrifices to offer to Him to let Him know that we have understood the problem, we know we are wrong, and we will definitely correct it. If God understands our sincerity, we will have a chance to survive!

God will give us enough strength to turn things around."

Then, there was a burst of incomprehensible mumbling, as if a group of people were singing and dancing with some musical instruments playing on the side.

Someone nearby whispered, "What is this psychopath doing?"

"Keep your voice down! What if someone else can hear you?"

"I don't care if he can hear or not, I just can't stand his bird-like appearance, what a mental patient."

"He's making so much noise, and it's a waste of my energy to get up so early. Who does he think he is? Do we have to flatter him?"

After a while, it felt like the sun had come out, a red-white color, hanging in the sky. A huge fireball seemed to be hanging over many people's heads, about to fall down and hit everyone.

The sound from the other side was heard again. It was the same quiet and drowsy yet frightening atmosphere as before. Then there was a loud bang, as if something inside the flame exploded, and a sharp voice shouted, "Kill it!"

Another deep voice called out, "Throw the sacrifice in! Enough! Now is the time!"

Many people started to move. They moved the goods and took apart the things on the surface to reveal the objects inside. There was bright red pork brushed with a layer of honey oil, soft and white chopped chicken and duck, round quail eggs and duck eggs, colorful steamed buns, and some meat buns. They didn't look very fresh, but all of these things should have been overnight without exception.

Because today there is really not enough time for them to make such fresh and delicious food.

Many people feel extremely hungry, and their stomachs begin to growl. They seem to feel less uncomfortable this way, but they still feel as if there is a small fireball hidden in their abdomen, burning so much that they want to swallow up even a little bit of the hot air around them. The breath they swallow up contains a bit of sweetness and fragrance of food, which makes it even more tempting.

Afterwards, they opened the box again, and inside were some local fruits, which looked big and plump, with different colors, thin skin and thick flesh. The juice would overflow when you took a bite. These fruits were only glanced at, and then all were poured into the flames. In the fire, the flesh was burnt black and not so good-looking. The smell also changed gradually, and the fruits became sweeter and more mouth-watering.

Even if the fruits have become black and wrinkled, many people still feel hungry and smell a scent that is more fragrant than ripe, full and sweet fruits. It must be the smell of food, of course it comes from the fruits, as if the fruits were not sacrificed but roasted, and the flames are like the licking of an arrogant tongue.

There were bursts of gurgling sounds.

A feeling of envy spread among the crowd.

There was another round of singing and dancing, with bells shaking, snare drums beating, allegro mixed in, and the sound of gongs being struck.

Some people who were close to it felt like their ears were about to break off.

But they couldn't cover their ears now, as that would be impolite. They were mainly worried that the person who came to deal with the situation would get angry and leave, saying it was their fault, so they had to endure it.

The ceremony finally ended. The man stopped and said to them, panting, "Okay, okay, we'll see how things turn out after today. If this thing can be accomplished, it will be a great merit for me. I won't deliberately make you feel uneasy."

The lady went up to him and asked, "Do you want to rest? Let's go this way."
