Although Wang Yu was complaining in his heart about the nonsense going on in Hejia Village, looking at his embarrassed look, he was too lazy to dwell on this matter.
Then he said: "We will discuss this matter later. First, tell me what kind of evil thing this snake demon has done!"
"This is the third time I've asked you! If you continue to talk nonsense to me, I don't mind if you, Hejiacun, change your ways!"
Wang Yu's threat made Li Zheng of Hejiacun gulp down his saliva. The man in front of him was not a senior official in the government. If Hejiacun could be replaced by another Li Zheng, what else could he do besides killing himself?
The village leader of Hejia Village, who understood what Wang Yu meant, didn't dare to talk nonsense. He said bluntly: "This snake spirit has come to the village five times to steal things. Today he steals a chicken, tomorrow he steals a duck, and the day after tomorrow he steals clothes."
"Today's world is not good, God doesn't reward us with food, everyone's harvest is not very good, and life is tight. How can we withstand her stealing again and again?"
Li Zheng's words seemed to embolden other villagers, and they all added:
"We only have one old hen in our family! The whole family is fed and fed, and we expect it to lay an egg every day to replenish my grandson's body! Damn it, the monster stole the chicken. ! Without eggs, my poor little grandson has been sick these days!"
"Who says it's not the case? I finally saved some money, went to the city to buy a piece of good cloth, and made a good dress for my daughter. I just took it home, washed it at night and hung it up to dry, and then I was killed by this damn snake The demon stole it away! My poor girl has been wearing leftover clothes from others for ten years since she was little! She finally got a new dress, but it was gone before she could wear it!"
"Who do you think you are? My son is gone! Damn that snake demon! He stole our sheep and killed my son! He is not even twenty years old! He was shot through the head with an arrow. Ah! Our Lao He family has only three generations! He is the one who continues the family line! Father! Master! All our ancestors! I’m sorry for you unworthy descendants! Our Lao He family is going to be extinct!"
Wang Yu listened to these villagers and looked at them with wide eyes. He couldn't believe his ears!
What is this all about? Do these guys have no brains and can't make up stories? Or do they think they have no brains and can fool themselves by just making up random stories?
Isn’t it too outrageous to make up some of the other stuff?
"stop!"
Wang Yu shouted, interrupting the nonsense of these villagers, pointing at the middle-aged woman who lost the chicken, and said: "Why don't you first look at your big and thick body, and then think about what you said? ah?"
"With your size, do you have the nerve to say that your family only has one chicken? And the whole family expects that one chicken to lay eggs? Are the eggs laid by that chicken an elixir or a panacea? If you can't eat it, your grandson will get sick. ? Are you trying to fool me like a fool?"
"And you!" Wang Yu pointed to the middle-aged woman who lost her clothes, and then pointed to the snake spirit woman, and said: "She, an adult woman, stole your ten-year-old daughter's new clothes? Do you think it's possible? ?"
"Can you use your brain before you lie? If you say she stole your clothes, I might hesitate and think about whether it is true. But why did she steal your ten-year-old daughter's clothes? She Can I wear it?"
"Just to make the story sound more pitiful, more pathetic, and make me think she is more hateful, you don't want to think about whether it is logical or unreasonable, right?"
"It's you in the end!" Wang Yu pointed at the middle-aged man whose son died and asked, "How did your son die?"
The middle-aged man looked extremely angry just now, but when faced with Wang Yu's questioning, he swallowed and said with a guilty conscience: "He was beaten to death by a snake spirit!"
"How were you beaten to death?" Wang Yu asked.
"Just..." the middle-aged man stammered: "That's right, the snake spirit came to our house to steal the sheep. My son... my son chased after him, and then... he was slapped by the snake spirit's tail. On the wall of someone else’s house. And then he died!”
Wang Yu took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said, "But you just said that your son was shot through the head with an arrow! Now you say that your son was thrown to death by the snake demon's tail?"
Cold sweat broke out on the middle-aged man's forehead. He was so excited just now that he accidentally blurted out this matter.
He gave himself a few words in his mind, but he said: "You heard wrong, I said he was beaten to death by the snake demon!"
Wang Yu was really furious.
Not only did these people treat themselves like fools, but they also scolded themselves for not being able to use their ears. They were really off the mark!
You really think you have a good temper, right?
He pointed at the middle-aged man and said word by word: "Where is your son's body? Send it to me! I want to see how he died?"
"If he is really beaten to death by a snake demon, I will kill this snake demon and avenge your son!"
"But if he was shot to death by an arrow! You don't have to apologize to your ancestors here. I will send you down directly and let you kowtow to them in person to apologize!"
The middle-aged man was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground. His pants were all wet. As soon as the smell of urine came out, everyone around him couldn't help but take a few steps back and stay away from him.
Seeing his appearance, Wang Yu also became disgusted, and instantly lost interest in attacking such a person.
He turned to look at Hejia Village Zheng, and asked angrily: "In other words, this snake demon dares to do nothing other than steal things in your village?"
Hejiacun opened his mouth and wanted to ask, "Isn't this enough?" But he still didn't have the courage, so he could only nodded and replied, "Yes!"
"Okay!" Wang Yu nodded, looked at the snake demon again, and asked: "When did you start stealing things from villagers' houses? Why did you steal things?"
The snake demon couldn't tell that the man in front of him was helping him, so he answered truthfully: "The people in the village drove my husband out of the village. We usually rely on the wild fruits and wild beasts in the mountains for food."
"Unless sometimes I am unlucky and fail to catch prey, and my husband is very weak and needs broth to replenish his health, then I will go to the village and steal some."
"But I would never steal from a poor family! They only raise one or two chickens and ducks, and I can't live my life anymore. I won't destroy other people's hope of survival!"
"Every time I go to steal, I always go to someone's house that has dozens of chickens and ducks, and then I pick out the old chickens and ducks that can't lay eggs!"
"I went to steal the sheep last night just because autumn is coming soon, and mutton is the most warming and tonic. I just wanted my husband to take a good tonic."
Wang Yu nodded and asked: "That means you stole it after the village kicked you out, right?"
The snake demon nodded and replied: "Yes!"
Wang Yu nodded again and continued to ask: "So, what did you do for a living before the village kicked you out?"
The snake demon replied: "I can weave and do some handicrafts. I also go to the mountains to hunt some wild animals at night, and then skin them and sell them in the town."
"Later, my husband-in-law got sick. They listened to the fairy aunt and thought that my husband was a monster, a freak, and a curse! They said that if my husband stayed in the village, the whole village would be killed!"
"Then they came to our house and not only kicked us out, they even smashed my weaving machine."
"Later, my husband-in-law's illness became more and more serious. I was afraid that if I left him for too long, I would never see him again when I came back, so I never went to town to sell animal skins again."
"So...there is no source of income..."
Wang Yu turned to look at the village leader of Hejia Village and said, "Did you hear it? You drove people out of the village, destroyed their jobs, and cut off their livelihoods. Are you trying to force them into a dead end?"
"In order to survive, they steal some of your food and supplies. Is there a problem? This is called emergency evacuation, do you understand?"
"Oh, you don't understand this. But you should understand the cycle of cause and effect and retribution, right? Can't you pay for the sins you have done yourself?"
Li Zheng from Hejia Village had a bitter look on his face, sighed, and explained: "We don't want to either! After all, we are all from the same village, and we are related to each other. This child is someone we have watched grow up, and he is very affectionate and reasonable. , we should all give him a bite to eat!"
"It's just that the fairy aunt said that if we don't drive him out, once his disease spreads, everyone in the village will die!"
Fairy aunt?
Wang Yu frowned. It seemed that the snake demon had just said this name, but he didn't pay much attention to it, but now Li Zheng from Hejiacun also said it.
According to what he said, the villagers were instigated by this so-called fairy girl that this weird couple fell to this point.
This incident should be considered her fault.
So, who is this fairy girl?
Why did she persecute these poor people?
What good will this do to her?
