Chapter 123: Evil Woman, Return Our Child to Us
The villagers watched bags of grain being picked up. Although they were not theirs, they felt inexplicably at ease having the grain. Now that it had all been picked up, they felt a little empty in their hearts.
Especially Village Chief Wu, when he looked at Ji Han and his huge team, he instantly understood that those groups of refugees who had no food to eat were most likely taken away by Shen Ruolan.
Thinking of this, he felt mixed emotions. He was happy that Shen Ruolan's attitude towards them was quite good, but he was worried that Shen Ruolan would most likely become the leader of the bandits in the future. If the imperial court investigated the matter, their village would probably be doomed.
One of the young men looked at the refugees leaving and said with envy: "These refugees are so lucky. They don't have to worry about having no food to eat anymore."
Village Chief Wu patted his head and said to him angrily, "If you don't go and help your mother harvest the corn, and it suddenly rains, you will really have nothing to eat."
They have fields in Nanfeng Village and plant rice in the fields. Corn in the fields is harvested about a month later than rice. Now they have already harvested the rice and are busy harvesting the corn.
After hearing what Village Chief Wu said, the young man quickly covered his head and said to Village Chief Wu: "Grandpa Village Chief, you are right. I will go to help my mother harvest corn now."
The villagers couldn't help laughing when they saw the young man's jumping back. It hadn't rained for several years, so what was there to be afraid of?
Village Chief Wu looked at the villagers and said, "Go away and do what you need to do."
"Yes, village chief." After everyone finished speaking, they all walked away.
Since Ji Han came back last time and beat up all the villagers who were causing trouble, there were no more inexplicable people guarding the entrance of Nanfeng Village, which made Shen Ruolan completely quiet.
That day, Shen Ruolan suddenly felt extremely hot and stuffy, which made her feel very uncomfortable. She called Ji Ning and asked him to help her walk around the village.
When the master and servant passed by the place where smoked fish were made, Shen Ruolan was silent for a moment when she saw the fish meat hanging inside and outside. She said to Shi Gu, "Shi Gu, the weather is a little abnormal today. Please quickly ask everyone to take all the fish outside back home."
Although Shi Gu was somewhat puzzled by her master's words, she still responded respectfully to Shen Ruolan, "Yes, Master, I will tell everyone right away."
Shen Ruolan looked at her from behind and said, "Tell everyone to store the smoked dried fish properly. I feel like it's going to rain today, so be careful."
When Shi Gu heard that it was going to rain, she quickly bowed her head to Shen Ruolan and said, "Yes, Master."
After she finished speaking, she quickly asked everyone to pack up.
Shen Ruolan was not the only one who felt this way. She walked to the center of the village and saw many people harvesting corn. Ji Ning looked at them curiously and asked, "Auntie, did you also know that it's going to rain?"
The woman who was collecting the grain smiled and said to Ji Ning, "The village chief said that the weather is very abnormal today, so we should not dry the grain for now."
After the woman finished speaking, she looked at Shen Ruolan's big belly and kindly reminded her, "Miss Shen, if you are okay, you should go back quickly. If it really rains later, the road will be difficult to walk on."
Shen Ruolan thanked her and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Auntie. I will go back right away."
After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards her rental house.
Just as the master and servant were about to reach home, a group of strangers suddenly chased the villagers of Nanfeng, beating them and cursing them, saying, "I told you to protect this vicious woman who eats people. I will beat you to death."
Several male villagers were beaten to the point of bleeding from their mouths and noses. Even so, they still refused to give in and yelled at each other, "Bah, Miss Shen is many times better than you bunch of crazy people."
"Hand over the people quickly, otherwise, I will not recommend destroying your Nanfeng Village today." A leading man said angrily while looking at the villagers of Nanfeng.
Shen Ruolan looked at the villagers who were beaten because of her, feeling guilty. When she looked at the strange man who beat them, her face was full of frost. She, Shen Ruolan, never hurt others, but if others bullied her, she would not be polite. She took out a packet of medicine powder from her arms and said to Ji Ning, "Cover your mouth and nose."
After hearing what her master said, Ji Ning instantly understood what she wanted to do. She quickly covered her mouth and nose and said to Shen Ruolan, "Master, I'm fine."
Shen Ruolan also brought a thick cloth with her. After confirming that everything was correct, she shouted at the stranger who was beating someone, "Stop it."
When the villagers who were beaten saw Shen Ruolan coming, they hurriedly shouted to her, "Miss Shen, please leave quickly and ignore them."
The villagers who were beating people heard that the woman in front of them was the evil woman they were looking for, and they all ran towards Shen Ruolan with hoes on their shoulders and shouted at her, "Evil woman, give us our child back."
When Shen Ruolan saw the strange villagers running towards her, she quickly took the powder and sprinkled it on them, saying to them coldly: "I don't know what you are talking about, let alone where your children are. If you come close to me, don't blame me for being rude."
After she finished speaking, she took out a dagger, stepped on the villager who was stunned, and warned the people on the opposite side: "If you come any closer, I will knock you all down, and then I will confirm your so-called cannibalism. I will first peel off your skin, then pull out your tendons, and finally stew you all together."
When Shen Ruolan said this, her whole body was filled with a bloodthirsty and murderous aura, which frightened the villagers present so much that they couldn't help but tremble.
In the crowd, I don't know who reacted first. He pointed at Shen Ruolan with a pale face and shouted to everyone: "Fellow villagers, now you believe it, she is the culprit who ate our children, everyone, quickly beat her to death."
"Yes, beat her to death..." the villagers shouted to Shen Ruolan one after another.
Some villagers were even more vicious and picked up stones and threw them at Shen Ruolan.
Ji Ning was so frightened that he shouted, "No!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly stood in front of her master and used her body to block the stones thrown at her.
Shen Ruolan was completely enraged by the barbaric and rude villagers. She pushed Ji Ning away and said, "Ji Ning, get out of the way."
After saying this, she slowly squatted down, letting the rocks from the opposite side hit her. She held the dagger and smiled bloodthirstily at the villagers, saying, "Remember, the deaths of these villagers were caused by you. It has nothing to do with me, Shen Ruolan."
After saying that, she raised and lowered the dagger, causing the villagers who were originally unconscious to bleed profusely in an instant, and they were completely breathless.
"No..." When the villagers on the opposite side saw that Shen Ruolan had really killed someone, they instantly lost control.
