He shook his head, stepped back in disbelief, and murmured: "It's impossible. My mother-in-law and the clan leader are so good to us. In order to take care of us, they even gave up the opportunity to get married and have children... They are sincere.
Treat us as your own children!"
Is it possible for such a person to deceive them?
He covered his sore eyes and couldn't help sobbing softly.
Shen Qingqing became interested in his words, "You said they will never marry?"
This is wrong. Looking at the faces of the old man and Mapo, they clearly have a family and children.
Her judgment is basically correct, which means the two old guys are lying.
One of them is the wizard in the village, in charge of praying for gods and divination, eliminating disasters and praying for blessings, and is highly respected by the villagers; the other is the clan leader of the village, responsible for daily living, food, hunting, farming and other trivial matters, and has a high prestige.
If these two people were originally a team...
Shen Qingqing's eyes grew colder. No wonder the villagers were deceived so miserably. These two old guys are so good at acting!
She turned away, ready to go out to find someone to settle the score.
Before he even took a step forward, the sound of footsteps could be heard outside, and the old man and Mapo walked in, supporting each other.
When the villagers saw them, they were very excited. They pointed at the pieces of silver on the ground and asked, "Chief, mother-in-law, why are you doing this? Isn't it nice for us as a whole village to be together? Why do we hide the money secretly?"
The old man heaved a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at Mapo, "Please explain to everyone."
After saying that, he sighed and moved aside.
Mapo straightened her back, looked at everyone present and said, "Actually, Brother Liang and I hid all this money for everyone's good."
"You have also seen that Phoenix Mountain is not peaceful during this period. There are wars everywhere. Everyone in the village next door has fled. We can escape in this mountain once, but what about next time?"
"If we get here next time, where else can we go?"
"There is nowhere to go! We can only flee outside like them. The outside is different from our village. We need money to eat and sleep. If we don't have money, we will freeze to death and starve to death!"
A villager answered: "So all this money is for the next escape?"
Mapo breathed a sigh of relief and replied with a serious face: "Yes, we have worked so hard to save all this money for everyone's future."
Some villagers also discovered something inappropriate: "Since it's all for our own good, why don't you just say it outright? Wouldn't it be faster if we all work together to save money?"
"Didn't you say that the world outside is chaotic and leaving the village without authorization will bring disaster to everyone? Then where did the money come from?"
Mapo was speechless after being asked, and turned her head to ask the old man for help.
The old man twisted his eyebrows and looked embarrassed. He couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a long time.
At this time, Shen Qingqing stood up with a sneer, "Can't you answer it? Then I'll tell you the answer. The money they saved has no intention of being used on you!"
The old man subconsciously retorted: "Nonsense! Both of us are going to be buried, so what's the use of asking for money?"
"You can't use it, but your children can."
Shen Qingqing's words were like thunder on the ground, making everyone present burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
"Wha, what do you mean? The mother-in-law and the patriarch have a child?"
"The two of them are not married at all, so how can they have a child?"
Mapo staggered even more and almost fell to the ground.
The old man supported her with quick hands and eyes. After taking several breaths, he finally regained his composure and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Madman, she is a madman! Everyone, please stop her mouth and stop letting her talk nonsense!"
But this time no one listened to him.
Everyone is accustomed to respect, trust and obedience, but this does not mean that they are all fools.
They also have the ability to think for themselves!
Shen Qingqing's words were just an introduction, triggering their memories of various details in the past, such as the patriarch and Mapo's homes were only separated by a wall, they always went into the mountains together for three to five days, and the intimate names between them...
…
It's not that they didn't know these details, but they didn't think about it at all, or rather they didn't dare to think about it at all.
When all the evidence was in front of them, they had to start to doubt that the existence of those two people was a scam from the beginning!
Someone looked at Shen Qingqing with tears streaming down his face, "Girl, where did you know these things? If you know anything else, tell us everything."
It’s better to live life if you can’t get through it. Anyway, it’s better than being treated like a monkey!
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Qingqing.
Shen Qingqing smiled lightly and took out the soul-suppressing ruler, walked up to the two old people, bent down, and the sharp iron ruler passed across Mapo's wrinkled cheek and fell on the old man's neck.
"Instead of asking me, it would be more straightforward to ask the person involved." She raised the corners of her lips and sneered: "I will give you three times to think about it, and either tell the truth, or I will send you to see the King of Hell."
"three……"
Mapo looked at the old man in horror, "What should I do?"
The latter looked firmly and shook his head.
They have lived for decades and have long since lived enough, but their children and grandchildren are different. Those children are still young and are in the best years of their lives. They must not be dragged down by them.
"two……"
He looked back at the bright sunlight outside the cave, held Mapo's dry palm tightly, and slowly closed his eyes.
Let's end it like this.
End his life full of regrets and sins.
Shen Qingqing spat out the last word expressionlessly, flipped his wrist, and cut the old man's neck with a sharp blade, causing blood to flow out in an instant.
Some people couldn't bear to see this bloody scene, so they covered their eyes and hid aside.
"Wait a moment!"
Xiaobo walked out of the crowd with a white face.
Shen Qingqing didn't seem surprised by his appearance. She calmly took back the iron ruler, wiped the blood stains on it clean, and said casually: "You are finally willing to stand up."
Xiaobo tilted his head, not daring to look at her, and asked hesitantly: "Patriarch... Patriarch, is he okay?"
Shen Qingqing smiled lightly: "Don't worry, it was cut off and you won't die for the time being."
After saying that, she looked at him with a half-smile, "Besides this, do you have nothing else to say?"
"Yes." Xiaobo lowered his head and his voice was as low as a mosquito: "I know all their secrets, so let me tell you, don't embarrass them anymore."
"Don't say it! Xiaobo, this is a crime we committed and has nothing to do with you. You go back, go back quickly!"
Mapo covered the wound on the old man's neck and yelled at him with a red head and a swollen face.
"What do you mean it doesn't matter? I am your grandson, your biological grandson!"
Xiaobo suddenly raised his voice and yelled in a self-defeating manner, "I'm not a disciple of some bullshit saint. I'm the grandson of the patriarch and the wizard. Everything they did was to save my brother!"
"Why did you say it? Why?"
Mapo collapsed on the ground and cried loudly in pain. This chapter has been completed!
