Chapter 110: Badgers in the Melon Field
On the way here, Zhao Huanxi had not yet figured out how to take revenge on Tan Li, the gossipy woman. He still had to go to the scene to check the situation and then find a way to teach her a lesson.
My second uncle's house is on a bend not far from the village entrance. Besides his house, there are two other houses not far away, just a few steps away.
Zhao Huanxi brought the two animals and quietly approached the wall of Tan Li's house, listening closely to the movements inside.
She remembered that her second uncle had three children. Her eldest cousin and second cousin were married, leaving only a cousin who was older than Zhao Fengnian. He got married not long ago to a girl from a nearby village in Rongshan Town. So the last time Tan Li went to Rongshan Town, she was probably visiting relatives.
Judging from the moon now, it seemed to be midnight, and everyone inside seemed to have gone to bed. This plot was a little familiar, but she was not capable of such arson, murder, and robbery.
Animals have more sensitive hearing. After listening for a while, Brother Tai started to translate for Zhao Huanxi.
Tiger: "There are two old humans and two young humans inside."
Zhao Huanxi thought that it should be Tan Li and her husband and that cousin and his wife.
"And then what, Tai?"
"The old female human slept in a cave with the young male human, and the young female human slept in a room with the old male human."
Zhao Huanxiu's CPU burned out. What's wrong? What's wrong?
She savored Tai Ge's words and came to a shocking conclusion: there was not a single normal person in this family...
Thinking about this carefully...it was too shocking, it completely shattered her three perspectives...
She still remembered exactly what Tan Li said to her in town last time. She said that it was not okay for her to have an affair with a man outside, but it was okay for her to have an affair with a man inside. She was really slapping herself in the face.
"Is that accurate, Tai?"
Tiger: "How can what this king said be false?"
Since that's the case, don't blame yourself for being the one who steals the melon that's been delivered to your doorstep.
But she only wanted to take revenge on Tan Li and didn't want to hurt any innocent people. No matter what the others did, it had nothing to do with her.
So he lowered his head to discuss with Xiaoqing, and Xiaoqing nodded repeatedly after listening.
She went with Brother Tai to the home of the village chief of Jiuli Village. She leaned on the window of the village chief's house and knocked on it. When she heard some movement from inside, she said in a faint voice:
"Head of Jiuli Village, listen up! I am a wandering immortal from the mountains. I have come here tonight because a great disaster has befallen Luo Yunhai's family in the village. Please go quickly and save a life. It is better than building a seven-story pagoda. That is all I have to say."
The village chief and his wife thought they were dreaming, but when they got up, opened the door and went out, they found tiger footprints outside the yard and were immediately frightened.
"Old man, there's a tiger! Let's call for help!"
The village chief quickly covered the woman's mouth and said with some fear, "Keep your voice down. This tiger is either the immortal's true form or his mount. Look at this tiger entering the village. It didn't hurt anyone or any of the animals. It must be intelligent."
"what is it now?"
"That immortal said Luo Yunhai's family is in great trouble. Quick, wake up the eldest and second oldest brothers. Let's light torches and go see what's going on."
So soon, several people went to Luo Yunhai's house with torches.
Just now, Xiaoqing called two snake grandchildren over and used their nimble bodies to sneak into the room where the second uncle and the new bride slept. The two of them were frightened and jumped up from the bed. They immediately put on their clothes and rushed out of the inner room, then collapsed on the ground with lingering fear.
"Dad, why are there so many snakes in this house?"
"How should I know?"
Luo Yunhai was panting and lying in the middle of the yard with his daughter-in-law.
I was sleeping soundly just now, but the dense snakes in the quilt almost scared me and my daughter-in-law to death.
Seeing that there was no movement in the room where his wife and children were, he was about to open the door to check when he saw several people with torches coming outside the yard. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was the village chief, his wife and sons.
So he sent his daughter-in-law to hide in another room, and he went forward to see what was going on.
"Yunhai, is there something wrong with your family?" Without waiting for him to come forward and greet him, the village chief went into the yard on his own to see if there was any danger in his family that was worthy of the mountain immortal to come down and notify him.
Luo Yunhai's mind was buzzing. How did they know that his house would be plagued by snakes tonight?
So he stepped forward and replied, "No, everything is fine at home."
"Then why are you wandering around the yard so late at night?"
Luo Yunhai was stunned. He couldn't say that he and his daughter-in-law were sleeping in the same room and were attacked by a snake in the middle of the night.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."
Seeing him hesitating, the village chief frowned, sensing that this was not a simple matter, and asked in a serious tone, "Where is your wife Tan? Where is she?"
"She's sleeping in the inner room. We haven't done anything wrong, Village Chief. Why are you acting so weird?"
Luo Yunhai's tone was not very good. After all, he had not done anything illegal. A group of people came in a crowd and questioned him like he was interrogating a criminal.
Seeing him like this, the village chief was furious and said angrily, "The immortal in the mountains predicted that you would be in danger tonight and came down to notify us to rescue you. Do you think your kindness is worthless?"
Just at this moment, there was a noise coming from the room where Tan Li and her son slept. Soon, two people ran out in disheveled clothes, mumbling something about there being a snake.
When they saw the people outside, they were stunned. Why weren't these people sleeping in the middle of the night? They quickly covered their bodies with clothes to prevent them from seeing their embarrassment.
The village chief's wife was puzzled when she saw the two of them coming out of the same room. Logically, this guy got married last year, so shouldn't he be sleeping in a separate room from his parents? Why was he still sharing a room with his mother? Could it be...
So she spoke a few words to her husband, and the village chief's face turned ashen.
"Ms. Tan, where is your daughter-in-law?"
Tan Li hurriedly put on her clothes and kept winking at Luo Yunhai. Luo Yunhai knew what she meant, so he quickly took over the conversation and said:
"She's pregnant and is resting in another room. She's exhausted from taking care of my daughter-in-law, so she asked my son to take care of her for two nights."
This argument may convince some people, but it is full of loopholes for smart people.
How could a sick person look like this? Besides, serving by the bedside is filial piety, why would one need to dress like this...
The two women present understood immediately, and the village chief also figured out the key, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it out loud. If he did, it would be a huge scandal, and for Jiuli Village, marriages in the village would be even more difficult in the future.
Fortunately, the people who came with him tonight were his family members, and no outsiders. So he glared at Luo Yunhai and Tan Li fiercely, and asked his people to go back with him.
Along the way, he kept reminding me not to tell anyone, saying it was a shameful thing, a huge shameful thing.
But the village chief forgot that his wife had been at odds with Tan Li for a long time. At that time, Tan Li's youngest son married a girl from the town, and he was so proud of himself.
This is really a godsend in her hands. Let's see if she doesn't help publicize this good thing tomorrow.
Zhao Huanxi, who was standing halfway up the mountain, was smiling evilly as he watched this drama which seemed to be ending but had actually just begun.
"Tan Li, Tan Li, your good days are coming soon."
She didn't know whether Tan Li had any grudge against anyone, but such gossip would make even someone like her complain, let alone a farmer who had lived in the countryside for a long time and had no spice of life.
Feeling refreshed, I headed home, riding Taige for just over an hour before reaching the forest entrance. After saying goodbye to the two animals, I quickly returned to my soft bed.
