Sad emotions continued to surge in my chest, and my eyes gradually filled with tears.
Just as Little Pepper's tears were about to fall, they were extinguished by the cold water poured in front of her.
"Hey! Little Pepper, did you miss me when my brother was away?"
Biaozi blinked at her angrily, stretched out his hand and handed over a bunch of red water plants: "This flower is for you!"
…
A bunch of soft and drooping water plants, accompanied by a unique fishy smell.
Little Pepper looked at the generous fat man in front of her, stamped her feet angrily, threw down her sweatshirt, turned around and left.
What a waste of worry!
"Hey! Why are you leaving! I have something else to ask you!"
He held the water plant high and wanted to ask what happened.
The village chief on the side happened to see the rope tied to the water plants and stepped forward quickly: "This is the colorful rope tied to the bronze prayer medal. Where did you find it?"
Biaozi turned his face and snorted: "I picked it up from the underwater cave."
"Are there many bronze medals in that hole?" the village chief asked.
Biaozi glanced at him and replied with a perfunctory 'hmm'.
!!!
The village chief was shocked when he heard this. He had been to the altar!
This man was an excellent swimmer. Not only did he rescue A Niu, he was also able to travel through several underwater caves.
If he can represent his village in the competition, he will have a great chance of winning this year's prayer meeting.
The village chief's expression changed and his tone was enthusiastic: "Comrade Ma, thank you so much today. It was you who saved A Niu. Come up here quickly."
He stretched out his hand to pull the person up.
Biaozi looked at him but did not move. When he saw Wei Tu also stretched out his hand, he pulled hard and rushed to the shore.
"No need to worry about it, village chief, the three of us are suffering from bad luck, it's better for you to avoid it!"
Putting down the words angrily, the group returned to He's house.
*
When they arrived, the village chief and the villagers followed behind.
Biaozi changed into clean clothes and sat in the yard wiping his hair. When he saw a group of people coming over, his hand holding the towel suddenly stopped.
He stood up immediately, pointed at them fiercely and shouted: "What are you doing? You still want to take action, right?"
Hearing the commotion, Wei Tu and the others also rushed out. They all had gloomy expressions and cold eyebrows, as if they were about to enter a battle in the next second.
The village chief quickly smiled and waved his hands: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, we are here to ask Comrade Ma to attend the prayer meeting for our village!"
Biaozi glanced at him and sneered: "I'm not from your village, what can I do if you pray for blessings!"
As soon as these words came out, some villagers jumped out and spoke up.
"Why don't you do anything to me! Fuzi broke his legs because of you three!"
"Yes! You must attend the prayer meeting for Fuzi!"
"It was you who brought bad luck to the village, now you can make up for it!"
Biaozi frowned, glanced at everyone, and smiled angrily.
"Oh, it's you who said we were unlucky, and it's you who asked us to participate in the competition. Why are you not afraid of having bad luck for a year when I, the unlucky one, went to the prayer meeting?"
The village chief smiled awkwardly: "How is that possible, Comrade Ma, if you compete for our village, the coming year will be smooth sailing."
He turned to look at Little Pepper and winked at her: "Little Pepper, tell me, am I right?"
Little Pepper raised his eyebrows and sneered, saying sarcastically: "Where did the fierce aura just now go? Seeing that someone has real ability, now you are rushing to flatter him? It's a pity that it's too late!"
"I can't say this. If you want to say it, you can speak for yourself. Don't count on me!"
The village chief choked and turned away to look at Lao He: "Old He?"
Lao He kept peeling the bamboo strips without raising his head: "How can I, an old man, get involved in the affairs of their young people?"
Although I didn’t explicitly reject this, everyone understood the meaning.
The faces of the villagers all changed, and some of them were so angry that they started to say harsh words.
"As expected, he is an outsider. After staying here for so many years, he still doesn't share the same heart with us!"
"If our village loses this time, you two will be the culprits!"
They all stared angrily, not hiding the anger in their eyes, and several middle-aged women in the crowd started shouting at the top of their lungs.
"Isn't that right! This little bastard dresses up all day long and is not serious at first sight!"
The more they scolded, the more unpleasant and energetic they became, and many villagers even joined in with them.
No matter how aggressive a woman is, she can't escape the overwhelming spittle. Little Pepper's eyes were red with anger, her hands were tightly clenched into fists, and her eyes were filled with tears of grievance.
Biaozi stepped forward and stood in front of her, using his body to block everyone's strange gazes.
Little Pepper looked at the man with his back turned to her and felt her heart tremble.
This man looks arrogant and careless, but in his actions he is affectionate, righteous, and well-founded.
He is very kind to himself and always protects him unconditionally.
Her calm inner lake was disturbed by him...
Biaozi raised his eyebrows, smiled slyly, and retorted: "I can't control men, so I just rely on them to be beautiful. What kind of mentality is that? But with your sallow old faces, I guess no one wants to look at them!"
"Ugh—it's so unappetizing to watch every day!"
Several village women were so angry that their mouths were filled with smoke, and they wanted to rush forward and tear his mouth open immediately.
But this man had to attend a prayer meeting for Fuzi, so he could only swallow this bad breath.
Jiang Yun couldn't help but frown at this chaotic scene. She looked at the He family's father and daughter, and suddenly an idea came to her. She quickly stepped forward and approached Lao Hetou.
"Uncle He, if you continue to stay, life will not be easy for you and your daughter. Do you want to watch Little Pepper being pointed at for the rest of your life?"
Lao Hetou sighed and sighed helplessly: "I would like to leave, but the procedures for our father and daughter to return to the city must be certified by the village committee. In this situation, it is 80% difficult!"
When Biaozi heard this, he turned around and said, "What's so difficult! It's just a procedure! I have a way!"
Little Pepper was shocked when he heard this: "What can you do?"
Biaozi winked at her: "You call me good brother and I will tell you!"
Little Pepper pinched his waist angrily: "I'll make you poor!"
Unexpectedly, instead of being angry, Biaozi turned around and said softly and shamelessly: "I understand, hitting and scolding is love, and beating and scolding is true love."
Little Pepper blushed instantly and stretched out her hand to hit him.
Wei Tu put his fist to his lips, coughed a few times, and reminded Biaozi to pay attention to the next occasion. They were quarreling, so the flirting should wait until it was over.
Biaozi came back to his senses, suppressed his smile, and put on a ruffian look: "Don't you want me to participate in the prayer meeting to help you get the top spot? This matter is easy to handle, but..."
He looked at the village chief and gave him a meaningful look.
The village chief immediately understood that this person most likely wanted benefits: "Comrade Ma, as long as you agree to participate in the prayer meeting, everything will be easy to talk about!"
Biaozi was overjoyed when he heard this. This is what I have been waiting for!
