The man retorted to Xiao Ling stubbornly.
But Xiao Lingling just smiled and said, "Oh, but I haven't seen you two look down at him for such a long time. You say this is your son, do you have any evidence?"
The two of them paused, not knowing how to refute for a moment.
The people around them began to look at them with suspicion.
At this moment, the man suddenly glared at Xiao Lingling with a fierce look, which was only suppressed by the woman's help.
The woman immediately burst into tears, "Of course we can't bear to watch this! He was so lively and energetic just a few days ago, but now he has become like this.
I, I really can't bear to watch it! Every time I see it, I can't help but feel sad. He was so young, how scared he must have been when he was washed away by the flood!
Whenever I think of this, my heart aches as if being cut by a knife. I never expected that you would question us now.
It's so unreasonable!"
Her words were very clever and successfully softened the hearts of many people.
Little Lingling was not panicked at all. She waved her hand casually, and Deng Zhuo immediately stepped forward and snatched the child away.
The woman screamed in fear and was about to rush forward to snatch it, but was stopped by the people arranged by Wang Yunmao.
Xiao Lingling said calmly, "Don't worry, we won't snatch the child from you. But now the body can't be taken away by just anyone.
Since you say you are his mother, we must verify it. Many files were destroyed by the flood, but there are always ways to find a way.
As she spoke, Xiao Lingling took a few steps forward and took a quick look at the child. "Well, tell me what birthmark this child has on his chest. If you can tell me for sure, I'll let you take him away. How about that?"
This was not an exaggeration, and the villagers around also became curious.
But the couple's expressions completely changed at this moment.
The two of them hesitated for a long time and kept making faces at each other. Little Bell pretended not to see anything and let them guess.
After a long while, they stammered, "Yes, yes, it's a blue birthmark, long, I forgot what it looked like."
"Yes, yes, it's blue anyway. We're used to it and haven't really paid much attention to it. We've really forgotten what it looks like."
Most birthmarks are blue anyway, so at least this statement won’t be wrong.
The two were still secretly delighted, but Xiao Lingling suddenly laughed, and the two of them felt a chill down their spines.
"Show them whether this child has a birthmark on his chest!"
Deng Zhuo turned around with the child in his arms with a cold face, and lifted the clothes on the child's chest. There was still a lot of mud and sand inside, but it was clear that the child's chest was clean, and there was no birthmark at all.
Now everyone had guessed the clue without Xiao Lingdang saying anything.
Xiao Lingling said with a cold face, "You are not his parents at all, not even husband and wife, you are just two lazy liars!
How dare you come to the county government office and cheat us? Are you thinking we can't expose you? You're quite courageous.
However, you miscalculated. Lies are lies, and there are many ways to expose them."
After she finished speaking, she turned her eyes to the people around her and said, "I know that after this flood, everyone has suffered losses. Some have lost their loved ones, and some have lost the family business they have worked hard to build for half their lives.
But at least everyone is still alive and well! I was sent by His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince to help you prevent and control the plague.
Even the food was painstakingly arranged by the Fifth Prince. It wouldn't be long before the Fifth Prince would personally come to inspect it.
He truly cares about the people and deserves your gratitude, not suspicion.
As for food, twenty kilograms per person may not be enough to sustain you until the new food arrives, but it can at least get you through the most difficult time now.
Once the floods subside, the imperial court will have other disaster relief measures. As long as people are alive, there is always hope.
So, you must cheer up! The Fifth Prince is working hard for you, so you should work harder for yourselves, right? "
Xiao Lingling's small figure was actually not very conspicuous standing in the crowd, but at this moment, she was so dazzling that no one dared to ignore her.
The resolute look and aura stood there, giving everyone an inexplicable sense of courage.
Yes, even the Fifth Prince came all the way to send such a thing to save them, how could they give it up?
The imperial court has saved their lives and provided them with food free of charge. As long as people are alive, they can always hold on.
Little Bell continued, "I know there are still many people who haven't received their food, but don't worry, starting tonight, porridge will be distributed in the city.
Once in the morning and once in the evening. When the next batch of food arrives, everyone can collect the relief food according to the requirements.
As long as everyone doesn't give up, we will be able to survive this disaster safely!"
It’s not that Xiao Lingling doesn’t want to give food, but she really can’t take out so much at once, otherwise it will inevitably arouse suspicion.
Now that the rain has gradually stopped, she believes it is only a matter of time before Su Jingshuo and the others discover the note.
Someone will definitely come by then, and it won't be so awkward to take out the food then.
After she finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave, but the couple who had caused trouble before refused to stand for it. The woman fell to the ground crying, and the man was even bolder and wanted to rush up and attack Xiao Lingling.
Deng Zhuo didn't give him a chance and kicked him far away.
Are you kidding? So much high-quality food and spiritual pool water are not eaten and drunk for free. Although he doesn't have any serious martial arts, his strength is already extraordinary.
The woman screamed and trotted towards the man, only to see him holding his chest and crying out in pain.
Xiao Lingling snorted coldly, "Serves you right! I almost forgot about you two just now. Lord Wang, these two are not ordinary people. They are doing some shameful things.
I suggest you arrest him first, and you will come back and thank me later."
Although Wang Yunmao was surprised at how she knew this, he had become accustomed to following orders these days, so he subconsciously waved his hand and had the two men arrested.
Xiao Lingling looked at the two people whose faces turned pale with fear, her eyes full of disgust.
These two people are really evil. They specialize in kidnapping girls from decent families and selling them to brothels to make money.
The man was very good at coaxing people. The two of them coaxed dozens of women in total, and some of the disobedient ones were directly killed by them.
Even she herself didn't expect that such a person would fall into the trap.
But now that you're here, there's no need to leave!
