Chapter 533: Siege
"Ouch, I thought it was something, isn't it just a poor person who was born to be kind?! Are you pushing him like that? β
A fat woman stood out of the crowd.
"There have been some problems in our village in the past few years, if you want me to say that it has something to do with this dead man's house, or find an auspicious day, just do a ritual and tear down this house......
The fat woman said as she turned her head to exchange glances with the lean man just now.
"If you really want to demolish it, aren't you afraid that someone will come looking for you at night?"
Yabu asked with a smile.
"Ouch, you mourning star, how can you talk this, I came out to speak for your own good, and it was really the life of a natural deprivation, how can you be so ignorant. I think back then, your father and mother were also abusers, and they gave birth to a deformed freak like you, and they killed themselves in vain......"
"That's it, my Xiaoni gave birth to a female baby a few days ago, I think it's mostly related to this person, before the village Yapo obviously saw it and said it was a male baby......"
"My well-behaved grandson fell yesterday?"
"You also said, how well-behaved my son is, but you haven't found a daughter-in-law until now, does this have anything to do with my son? It must be because of this mourning star. Patriarch, I really think that this house should be done by Yapo and then demolished. Otherwise, our village is not very peaceful......"
"That's right, directly take this person who is close to him to worship his ancestors, there are so many things in the village now, it is definitely the punishment that the mountain god sees that his sin is too heavy, and then gives us. As long as we take him and sacrifice him to the mountain god, our village will be fineβ"
There was a lot of noise outside the yard. Almost everyone puts all the blame on Yabu and this house, Nima, isn't it because your son is too ugly that you can't marry a daughter-in-law? Or are you too poor? If you can't give birth to a male baby, isn't it because your son is incapable?
Hearing this, Ye Xiaoyu wanted to rush out directly and slap them in the face.
This group of people took advantage of the so-called clan rules, and a large group of people collectively besieged a poor man who had no father and mother, and if it weren't for the fear of injuring Yabu, she would have rushed out to scold that group of people.
"If you don't have anything important, then I'll go inside and cook."
Jabu listened quietly until the people gathered around the door had finished all the unpleasant things to say. He said coldly.
In a word. The crowd that had been clamoring suddenly fell silent. But then they whispered again.
The lean man rolled his eyes, stepped forward and pulled the patriarch aside, and began to lean his head and bite his ear, and the fat woman saw this. I also got up.
Yabu was a little impatient. Seeing the people around him, there was no further indication. He closed the door directly.
"Whoaβwhy are you like that? There are so many of us here, how do we close the door?!! β
"The mourning star is the mourning star, and no one has the ability to see it. No wonder the parents ...... killed"
"What's the matter, if you want me to say that you should directly arrest and sacrifice to the mountain god!"
Jabu turned and walked back, shutting out all this gossip.
"You ......"
Ye Xiaoyu, who was fidgeting in the house, saw Yabu coming in and quickly stood up.
"It's nothing, these people are just idle."
Yabu smiled.
"It's all my ......"
Ye Xiaoyu's face was full of self-blame. She heard what the villagers said at the door just now, and it was hard to hear Cheng DΓΉ, if it was her, she would have picked up a kitchen knife and killed someone.
"It has nothing to do with you......
Jabu laughed.
"They have always had this attitude and tone towards me, it was even more ugly before, I am used to it, they say theirs, I have passed mine, it is not a big deal."
Sunlight from outside the house shines onto the rustic bamboo furniture, casting a halo of light.
"But with today's situation, you probably won't be able to leave."
Yabu stood in front of the window, turned his head to look at Ye Xiaoyu and said.
Since the people in the village already have some suspicions, if Ye Xiaoyu goes out now, once he is discovered, he will definitely be arrested.
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry for this day. Besides, you may not be able to find your way out of the mountains. β
Ye Xiaoyu said with a smile.
She caused such a mess, and even if she could get out, she couldn't just leave Yabu here alone. His life was already hard enough.
*
Bang bang bang!!
Outside the courtyard, there was another knock on the door, this time it seemed louder than before.
"Xiaoyu, you still stay here, I'll go out and have a look."
Yabu frowned and said to Ye Xiaoyu.
This group of people is probably going to fight him today.
"Don't go out, do you have any side doors, secret doors or anything like that, why don't we go directly......"
Ye Xiaoyu mentions yì.
There were many people on the other side, and she really didn't want to hear Yabu being ridiculed by these people again.
"This house is only one door, and even if there is, unless we go underground, we can't escape, they must have surrounded the whole house."
Yabu said.
"You're still waiting here, I'll go out and have a look. They will only be able to use their tongues, but they all think that this house is a place of great evil, and no one dares to enter. β
"Then be careful......
Ye Xiaoyu was helpless.
"Don't worry, what can you do, isn't it just to be said? It doesn't hurt ......."
Yabu smiled lightly.

"How many laps have we had?"
In the cave, Zou Youheng, who was sweating profusely, looked at Qinglang.
The two of them had been walking in this evil cave for a day and a night. It wasn't anything, but since he found out yesterday that it was just a myriad of mirrors playing tricks, he couldn't calm down at all.
"Almost."
Sunny said as he carved a mark on the stone wall with a dagger.
At a glance, the stone walls on both sides are densely carved with strange symbols, like countless ants climbing on them.
"What the hell is in this cave? Let's go all the way. What exactly is the use? β
Zou Youheng finally couldn't help it.
After a day and a night of not closing his eyes, he felt that he was already half dead.
"This is the Xuanjing Array, where countless mirrors are placed in a confined space, and light is used to shuttle and bounce back between the mirrors, creating the illusion of infinite extension of space."
Qing Lang replied, continuing to study the symbols he carved into the stone wall.
"Uh, what space? Can you be clearer. β
Zou Youheng was a little annoyed.
He really couldn't understand the words of the sunny day.
"The only way to crack this Xuanjing Array is to keep moving forward as soon as you enter the formation, and after reaching a certain number of laps. Crack naturally. β
Sunny continued.
"Uh. That's not pretty simple. If this is the way to crack it, the power of this array is not very good. β
Zou Youheng disagreed.
"But almost no one can see that it's a formation."
Sunny covered her hands on the stone wall as she walked.
"Yes. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have seen it as a formation. β
Suddenly feeling hot all over, Zou Youheng said. I want to take my coat off.
"Don't take off your clothes."
Sunny reminder.
"Why? It's too hot. I'll get heat stroke if I wear it again. β
Zou Youheng looked at Qing Qing with a puzzled expression.
"Hey! You can't be the kind of person who is interested in men, right? β
It seems that something terrible has come to mind. Zou Youheng asked with a wicked smile.
"Don't worry, I'm just taking off my coat, and I won't show my flesh. Haha......"
"It's almost time to go out. If you take off your clothes, you will freeze when you go out. β
Sunny explained with a serious face.
"Oh."
Zou Youheng replied lazily. This sunny day is so rigid that it can't even make a basic joke.
Just when Zou Youheng was secretly complaining behind Qinglang, the surroundings suddenly began to shake, and then cracks appeared one by one in the place where he stepped on his feet, shaking badly, Zou Youheng desperately climbed the stone wall next to him, but the stone wall was too slippery, he couldn't get close at all, and the whole person swayed left and right with the cave.
The crack under his feet grew bigger and bigger, and in the blink of an eye, it stretched out in front of him. The shaking of the cave became more and more severe, and stones began to fall from the top of his head, and in a panic, Zou Youheng turned his head to see Qinglang, and found that he was not much better than himself, or even worse, surrounded by stones, and he was almost buried in it.
Bang - !!
With a loud bang, Zou Youheng looked up and was horrified to find that countless silver-white fragments fell off the stone walls on both sides of the cave, like tin foil on paper money, so bright that his eyes were about to be opened.
Those silver-white fragments seemed to be lifted by some invisible force, spreading all the way from the outside, and after a while, they arrived in front of Zou Youheng's eyes, like countless fish scales being peeled off.
The picture was too weird, Zou Youheng couldn't help but be stunned.
The cave shook more and more violently, as if the whole mountain was about to collapse. The silver-white fragments on both sides fell down like the middle, and after Zou Youheng reacted, he was so frightened that he hurriedly hid back, but he patronized the top of his head, but he didn't see that the cracks on the ground had formed a bottomless ravine.
Just when his whole body leaned backwards and was about to fall, a pair of hands in the chaos grabbed him in time, looked up, and found that Qing Lang had jumped to his side at some point, and was sweating profusely at this time and grabbed him hard.
"Hurry up, it's mercury."
Sunny said quickly.
With the help of the power of his hand, Zou Youheng finally did not fall into that ravine. When he stepped over, he found that the entire cave was strewn with silver-white fragments, like stars falling from the sky.
The surrounding scenery changed dramatically, and there was no longer an infinite extension in sight, and the cave revealed its original appearance, and countless mirrors began to show their faces, and in an instant cracks appeared on the surface, and then quickly fell off, mixed with the mercury just now.
There was an unpleasant smell around him, and Zou Youheng suddenly felt a little out of breath. (To be continued......)
