Several children, well-behaved and understanding, called out to her affectionately as "Grandma." She couldn't bear to see Xia Muxin being taken away to be burned, so she immediately made a suggestion.
"Yes, Elder Xu, this is a matter of life and death. Besides, Xia Muxin is a sensible good girl."
"That child has indeed changed recently, but isn't it because she was forced?"
"Let's go check her home first; perhaps they haven't captured any Serpent God at all."
"......"
Once Aunt Liu spoke up, everyone began to chatter about Xia Muxin.
Elder Xu stroked his beard and glanced at You Shi before saying, "Four Joys, go fetch the village chief to Summer Forest's house. Mengzi, go to Dayao Village and invite Gu Yun Daozhang over. The rest of you come with me to the Xia Family to assess the situation."
As soon as Elder Xu finished speaking, Four Joys and Mengzi hurried off to carry out their tasks.
You Shi had been wanting to explode with anger at the current situation. Burning Xia Muxin was nothing short of a crime; it was an act against the Xia Family's virtue. Look at these useless people! No wonder they could only scrape by on their few acres of Thin Field. They didn't even know who should be helped and who shouldn't.
"Hmph, let them go. The Wang family will send someone over soon. I want to see how you all act when it's time for the early rice harvest in a few days. It's just burning a worthless girl."
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Suddenly, she sprang up from the ground, pointing her well-maintained finger at the villagers and gritting her teeth as she spoke. Ignoring Tang Sanwan's calls, she strode quickly toward her home.
Tang Sanwan saw her leaving in such a hurry and immediately became furious. He glared at the villagers and said, "Just wait and see," before running off to chase after You Shi.
Watching this unfold, the villagers sighed deeply, hanging their heads low as they followed Xu Lao Si with a sense of defeat.
"Master, what should we do? This snake is treacherous and forgets its master when tempted. That girl is so fierce; can I use force?"
In a dense thicket of grass, Ming Yi was in a dilemma, his face filled with distress as he looked up at Shen Muhan, who was casually leaning against a tree with an air of leisure. Feeling quite frustrated, he asked.
Originally, it was a good thing that the fierce girl was selling the snake; after all, money was a trivial matter for his master. But now that it had suddenly become her pet, could he really shamelessly try to snatch the snake from a little girl? If word got out, would he still be able to maintain his handsome reputation among his brothers?
Shen Muhan elegantly propped his chin on one hand, casting a glance at the frustrated Ming Yi. He remained silent for a long time, but his mind was filled with images of Xia Muxin catching and training the snake. The alluring curve of her lips involuntarily lifted again, a scene that Ming Yi could not see. However, the other shadow guards present certainly witnessed it and couldn't help but twitch their lips.
Deep down, they silently shouted that their future days would surely not be peaceful.
Suddenly, Shen Muhan snapped his fingers toward the shadows. Immediately, a dark figure floated out like a ghost and knelt on one knee beneath the tree. "Reporting to you, Master, the Wang family has brought over twenty people to the Xia Family and even invited a Taoist priest, claiming they want to exorcise evil spirits for Xia Muxin."
Shen Muhan's lips twitched as he couldn't help but laugh. Exorcising evil spirits? Meanwhile, this carefree girl was currently leading the Golden Python into the deep mountains, instructing it to catch game meat for her.
