Are there bad people in the village?
Could she be talking about Grandma Sun?
I quickly asked her, "Is she even better than that lady in the red dress?"
The little girl kept her head down, fiddling with the slingshot in her hand without saying a word, lost in thought.
Seeing that she wouldn't answer, I asked again, "Girl, has your grandma come back yet?"
I've been here for several days now, and I'm constantly worried about what's happening in Luotianhe.
Although Xiaomi lent me their phone, it's been charging the whole time, and I haven't had a chance to make a call yet.
If Lingmei comes back, I can ask her for help.
"No!"
The little girl's expression suddenly darkened, and she lowered her head and whispered, "That lady in the red dress is very fierce and aggressive. Grandma got hurt too."
As she spoke, she suddenly raised her head, pouted, and looked at me angrily: "It's all your fault, you bad uncle! I hate you!"
After saying that, she threw the slingshot in her hand at me, turned around, opened the door, and ran out.
But when she reached the door, she stopped, ran back to pick up her slingshot, and then ran out again.
I quickly chased after her, but it was pitch black outside, and there was no sign of the little girl.
I looked at the grass stem slingshot necklace I had just finished weaving in my hand and gave a helpless, bitter smile.
It seems I'll have to wait until she comes next time to give it to her.
I went back inside and picked up my Xiaomi phone, only to find that it was already 80% charged.
I couldn't wait to call Mr. Jin. Without bothering with pleasantries, I got straight to the point.
"Brother Jin, how's Brother Luo doing? Any news from Zeng the Richest Man?"
Jin Ye's voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding weak and breathless: "Xiao Luo is fine... cough cough, with me here, he won't die!"
When I heard his voice sounded off, I quickly asked him what was wrong.
"Master Jin is injured."
At that moment, Su Mingyang's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"You're injured? What happened?"
I said the sound was off.
"Master Jin has truly lost his sight this time!"
"Blind?"
I could hardly believe my ears, and I almost dropped my phone.
How did these perfectly good eyes suddenly go blind?
"Don't listen to this kid's nonsense."
Jin's voice came from the other end of the phone. Although it sounded tired, it still carried his usual carefree attitude.
"There were a few filthy creatures who saw that Xiao Luo was unconscious and wanted to take advantage of him. How could I let them do that?"
"In my haste, I used too much force, and lo and behold, my old cataracts flared up. That's why everything is blurry. It's not as serious as he said, like I've gone blind. That's just alarmist talk!"
After hearing Jin Ye's explanation, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders, and I finally understood the whole story.
It turned out that on the day I left the village, a young woman from the village passed away.
That family and Mr. Jin had known each other for many years, so Mr. Jin went over to give a gift and express his gratitude.
Who would have thought that on the way back, they would accidentally bring back some unclean things, causing such trouble?
Fortunately, Su Mingyang was helping to control Luo Tianhe, otherwise Master Jin would have been strangled to death.
After all, with those things on Luo Tianhe's body, Master Jin didn't dare to use his full strength, for fear of killing Luo Tianhe.
After we finished discussing these matters, I quickly inquired about the situation of Zeng, the richest man in China.
Jin sighed on the phone and said, "The richest man in Zeng has been quiet all along, as if he has disappeared. I have no idea what he is up to or what kind of bad thing he is planning."
Jin and I analyzed the situation on the phone. We concluded that Bai Su's head was probably in our hands, and the richest man was hesitant to act rashly because he couldn't find our trail.
But this apparent calm made me even more uneasy, as if a bigger storm was brewing behind the calm.
"By the way, Mr. Jin, I'll take some pictures of grass for you later. Can you help me figure out what kind of grass it is? It looks familiar, but I'm not sure!"
I suddenly remembered the bundle of grass the little girl had brought earlier, and I felt something was off, so I said to Master Jin on the other end of the phone.
"Sure, send it over." Jin Ye readily agreed.
I quickly grabbed my phone, opened the camera, and started snapping photos of the grass.
I took several photos from various angles, trying my best to make sure that Mr. Jin could see them clearly.
After taking the photos, I logged into WeChat, found Jin Ye's profile picture, and sent all the photos to him at once.
Not long after, Mr. Jin called.
But what came through the phone was Su Mingyang's loud and boisterous voice.
"Old Chen, you bastard! You were talking to us on the phone about how you were on the verge of death, making us all very nervous. But you're out there having a good time picking up girls! Look at the photos you posted, those girls' legs are like machine gun mounts!"
He left me completely bewildered and utterly confused.
When I checked the messages I sent to Jin Ye, I realized that I had accidentally sent a picture of Xiaomi, whether my phone malfunctioned or I accidentally sent it.
The key point is that in that photo, Xiaomi was wearing a bikini, and her beautiful legs were fair, long, and slender with smooth lines, radiating a charming glow in the sunlight, making her particularly eye-catching. No wonder Su Mingyang misunderstood.

Just as I was feeling extremely frustrated, Jin Ye's slightly serious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Chen, where did you get this grass?"
I hesitated for a moment and didn't tell her about the little girl. I just vaguely explained that a friend found it on the mountain and asked me to make a slingshot for her.
