"Yes, getting married is a big event! We should definitely set up a few tables and invite our neighbors to celebrate, right? Or we could wait for Third Uncle to come back and let him ask around?" One of the aunties, who had a good relationship with Third Aunt, chimed in.
"Alright, when Old Yan returns, I'll mention it to him!" Third Aunt readily agreed. She felt that asking her own Old Yan to inquire showed respect for Third Uncle.
"I wonder if that blind man will regret marrying such a worthless person!" Jia Zhangshi suddenly spoke up, her words dripping with malice.
"Not necessarily! Maybe Wang the Blind doesn't mind; after all, his bride is quite beautiful, isn't she?" another voice countered.
"What good is beauty if he can't even see it?" someone scoffed.
Inside Wang Jiefang's house, he heard their conversation through his mental powers. He didn't want to pay attention to these gossiping women, but as they continued to speak ill of him, he could no longer tolerate it. Using his mental powers, he yanked their tongues out while they were talking!
"Ouch! That hurts!"
Instantly, the six women gossiping all bit their tongues at the same time!
"Oh my goodness! Why is there so much blood?" Third Aunt exclaimed as she watched Jia Zhangshi's mouth overflow with blood.
After her shout, she realized that liquid was also flowing from her own mouth. At first, she thought it was saliva; whenever she accidentally bit her tongue before, she couldn't help but drool. But when she looked down and saw the bright red blood dripping onto the floor, she realized it wasn’t saliva—she was bleeding too!
"Oh my gosh! Why am I bleeding so much?!"
Jia Zhangshi covered her mouth and mumbled, "It hurts so much! I need to go to the hospital!"
After hearing Jia Zhangshi's shout, the other women also felt they needed medical attention; otherwise, they would either die from pain or bleed out. It was terrifying—they had never bled this much in their lives!
When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor was astonished!
In all her years of practice, she had never seen anyone bite their tongue like this! Looking at the depth of the wounds, if they had applied any more force, they might have bitten their tongues off completely!
What surprised the doctor even more was that six patients arrived at once! What on earth had happened? Did they all bite their tongues together? Was this some sort of collective tongue-biting suicide? That seemed too foolish! How could biting one's tongue possibly lead to death? Should I call the police?
As she treated them, the doctor wrestled with whether or not to report this incident. In the end, she decided against it; these women didn’t seem like they were trying to commit suicide—after all, who would attempt suicide together?
Each of them received over ten stitches. Heartbroken at having to pay for their treatment, they returned home quietly. There was no way they could chat in their current state; they could only go home and stay by themselves!
At the same time, they felt that something strange was going on! How could it be that while gossiping about someone, they all ended up biting their tongues? They recalled how just a few days ago Bang Geng had smashed Wang the Blind's window but ended up breaking his own family's window as well as Shazhu's. For that reason, Bang Geng had been kicked into the hospital by Shazhu!
Just a couple of days ago, Shazhu had claimed that Wang the Blind possessed some sort of evil magic!
As they reflected on their earlier conversation about Wang the Blind’s faults, they couldn’t help but wonder if he really had become sinister since losing his sight.
The more they thought about it, the more convinced they became that Wang the Blind must have done something! After all, how could it be that while speaking ill of others nothing happened to them but as soon as they spoke ill of him they all bit their tongues? What a coincidence!
As they passed by Wang Jiefang's house, they quickened their pace! They were afraid of attracting something sinister.
