Chapter 9 Take Action
"Fuck!" Ding Liqing was shocked and cursed, "Is this something a human would do?"
This time, even Ding Qingli, who had always been carefree, was stumped.
She lowered her head, her brows furrowed with thoughts.
"Forget it, forget it. Let's postpone the opening ceremony for now. I'll think of a solution." Ding Qingli bit her nails, waved her other hand, and pulled Bai Yuqing back into the crowd.
Ding Qingli announced that the opening ceremony was cancelled today, and Bai Yuqing conveyed this message, but the villagers did not leave. They stayed in groups of three or four not far away, staring at the crew with sinister eyes to prevent them from secretly worshiping the gods again.
The arrangements were completely disrupted.
Jiang Jinyue looked at Bai Yuqing.
He was very different from usual.
Now he has no expression on his face, but his whole body is tense.
Jiang Jinyue could tell from his clenched fists.
Since she came here, she has been staying with this man almost every step of the way.
Although they are the same age, he has a mature personality, stable emotions, and can do things with ease.
This is the first time I see him like this.
Jiang Jinyue walked up to him, her voice softening unconsciously, "Do you want to go home?"
Bai Yuqing looked down at her and nodded.
"Walk."
But I never returned home.
On the way back, when passing by a house.
Suddenly, a strong man's voice was heard, speaking in Mandarin: "What are you doing? You are illegally imprisoning me! I will sue you! Do you even know that you are breaking the law?"
Jiang Jinyue and Bai Yuqing looked at each other and already knew who was inside.
What a troublesome guy. The crew is still in a standoff, and he must have caused some trouble again.
Bai Yuqing walked towards the house where the sound came from, and without knocking, he pushed the door open.
He even deliberately made a lot of noise.
The noise attracted the attention of people in the yard.
They all looked towards them.
In the yard, Cheng Han was standing in the middle, surrounded by people all around him.
Cheng Han's eyes lit up immediately when he saw Bai Yuqing and Jiang Jinyue pushing the door open. "Help! Hurry up and save me! They're nothing but robbers! Murderers!"
These days, Cheng Han has become very close to the villagers.
He often brought lunch boxes from the crew to distribute to the villagers. Even though he didn't understand the dialect, he would hold the hands of the elderly, look at their wrinkles, and cry bitterly.
He thought he was already very familiar with this person, and wanted to ask these people to see his face and not interfere with the crew's opening ceremony.
So he came here by himself, wanting to talk to these people.
And then, it's like this now.
Bai Yuqing walked forward. When the old men saw him, they snorted coldly, "Are you trying to meddle in other people's business again?" (Dialect)
"He destroyed our marriage tree!" (dialect)
"Those city people are no good!" (dialect)
"They took away our wives, and now they've destroyed our marriage tree!" (dialect)
"Damn it! If he dies, peace will return to our village!" (dialect)
"They still want to worship God today! They came here with a purpose! To make life difficult for us!" (dialect)
The old men were talking non-stop.
Jiang Jinyue had seen him in many ways: gentle, smiling, and stern.
And just now, it was depressing.
Now, the depression is even deeper, like a spring being pressed down hard by a huge rock.
After those people stopped talking, he spoke: "Let them go." (Dialect)
Jiang Jinyue didn't know what he said, but it was very short, like the calm before the storm.
Instead, the villagers became even noisier, spitting everywhere.
Jiang Jinyue felt that his depression was about to explode, and she didn't know whether she was infected or afraid that he would really explode.
Still... I feel a little sorry for him.
Jiang Jinyue's temper suddenly flared up. So many people surrounded a outsider and dared to be so presumptuous. It was really lawless.
She picked up a brick at hand, pulled Bai Yuqing's arm, and stood in front of him.
Bai Yuqing stood there, watching the girl suddenly stand in front of him.
The girl held the brick in one hand and weighed it lightly. Her voice was not loud, but her cold and indifferent eyes made the villagers pause for a moment. "I want to see who dares to come over and see whose head this brick will appear on."
Those people look at me and I look at you.
Just when Jiang Jinyue thought his threat had taken effect, he heard the man's deep laughter, "They don't understand Mandarin."
“…”
Jiang Jinyue turned around and looked at the smiling man.
His eyes were somewhat resentful, "Why didn't you say so earlier!"
So what was her threat? Was it just a joke?
But...it seemed like a good joke, because he actually laughed.
"Let me do it." Bai Yuqing said lightly.
The next second, she felt the man's somewhat cool hand grasping her wrist, then he opened his palm and placed it under her hand holding the brick, gradually tightening it, and then he grabbed her hand and raised it higher... and higher...
"Bang!"
This time it wasn't a threat, just a brick thrown out.
Those people immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
There was a man who had difficulty walking, and the brick hit his leg.
With a scream, the man fell to the ground.
But no one went to help.
Bai Yuqing's eyes turned fierce, "Get out of here! Don't seek death!" (dialect)
Jiang Jinyue still didn't understand what he said, but she knew he was threatening.
Those people grumbled and complained, but no one dared to step forward.
Only Uncle Chang, who had difficulty walking, fell to the ground and looked up at Jiang Jinyue infatuatedly. "Bai family boy, why don't you give her to me? I will choose her to worship the marriage tree this year." (dialect)
Jiang Jinyue didn't understand what he said, but the disgusting look of coveting her was too obvious.
But Bai Yuqing, who could understand, seemed even angrier. Jiang Jinyue, who was leaning against his arm, could feel his arm suddenly tense up.
"Is he offending me?" Jiang Jinyue turned around, looked at Bai Yuqing, and asked softly.
Bai Yuqing looked at her, his eyes softened, he didn't nod or shake his head, just said: "Don't be afraid, I..."
Jiang Jinyue interrupted him and said, "I'll do it."
She reached into her pocket, pulled out a pepper spray, walked closer, and sprayed it directly into his eyes.
The sound of painful howls echoed throughout the village, and birds and beasts flapped their wings and flew away.
Everyone looked at her in surprise.
This is what Bai Yuqing told her, you have to be ruthless when dealing with these people.
She had to act tough in front of these people and let everyone know that she was not someone to be trifled with.
Jiang Jinyue sneered, turned around, grabbed Bai Yuqing's wrist and swaggered out of the narrow courtyard.
Cheng Han had been so frightened by the series of violence that he almost lost his soul. He quickly followed them closely and left this "hell on earth".
