Chapter Twenty-Five: Pedantic Mortal Heart

Everyone's eyes fell on Ling Yufei at once, and even the people around him moved a few steps away.

"You're talking nonsense, why do you say we're stupid!" The third aunt immediately stood up and confronted the man.

"I do have a picture in my head, but I don't know how to show it to everyone. The uncle also smiled bitterly, he actually didn't want to identify Ling Yufei.

"Tell me, what kind of picture! If you dare to talk nonsense, I will kill you!" Uncle Ma also walked out of the crowd and stood aside and stared at the uncle viciously.

"I saw Silly walking step by step into the Hongsha River in the heavy rain, and the water was halfway up to his waist!" the uncle hurriedly said, and the three aunts were also silent.

There is indeed such a scene, it was the time when a stupid person ran away in a bad mood and wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river.

After the third aunt went back, she only told the village chief about it, but there was no uncle among them, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't know...

"I don't care! No one can move stupidly!" The third aunt suddenly hugged Ling Yufei and shouted screaming.

Lin Yang also came over at this time, standing silently in front of Ling Yufei, protecting her.

"Master, I'm here. A gentle voice sounded in Ling Yufei's mind.

Glancing at Lin Yang in front of him, Ling Yufei didn't speak, still looking at the crowd in front of him indifferently.

"Silly, let me ask you, do you know martial arts?" At this time, the old village chief walked in front of Ling Yufei with a solemn face.

"I guess so. Ling Yufei thought for a moment and replied lightly.

"That's right! I heard in my early years that people who practice martial arts have more energy in their bodies, and many gods and spirits like to choose this kind of person as a sacrifice!"

"Gods?" Ling Yufei smiled slightly mockingly, then shook his head and said no more.

"Bold!"

Several old men were on crutches and looked at her with angry faces.

"You girl, how dare you be ungodly!" one of the old men's faces turned red and questioned Ling Yufei.

"Hmph, if you hadn't gone to Hongsha River to wander around, how could Lord River God find out that you were practicing martial arts, and why would you come to our Linjia Village!"

"That's it, now that we're like this, it's all her fault!"

"I've long seen that something is wrong with her, she is mysterious all day long, maybe she came to our village to take refuge!"

"Arrest her! Three days later, sacrifice to the river god!"

Voices kept sounding from the crowd, all of them were those who were not very familiar with Ling Yufei, but they were extremely superstitious.

"Shut up!"

With an angry roar, Lin Yang looked angrily at these usually amiable uncles and aunts. He couldn't believe why people's hearts had changed so quickly.

"Xiaoyang, if you protect her like this, do you want to kill all of us!"

"Lin Yang, get out of the way, even if it's you woman, we have to sacrifice her to Lord River God!"

Lin Yang silently took a step forward and stood in front of Ling Yufei and the third aunt.

"I see who dares to move, with me, no one wants to hurt her!"

A group of people were immediately unhappy, and they rushed to Lin Yang's side, and Erzhuang's father, who was usually familiar with Lin Yang's family, hurriedly stopped, and the scene became chaotic.

"Enough!"

At this time, the village chief roared angrily and suppressed everyone.

"Ah Silly has been in the village for more than half a year, and she usually helps you do something, has she ever hurt you? Has she ever eaten your food? What kind of system has become like this!" the village chief's face turned red and he roared angrily.

The crowd quieted down and walked back to their respective positions, not as excited as they had just been.

The third aunt had long been crying, and she was desperately protecting Ling Yufei.

"Okay, third aunt, don't worry, I'll be fine. Ling Yufei's hand took the third aunt and gently persuaded.

For this middle-aged woman who treats herself like her own daughter, Ling Yufei has a lot of respect.

"My child... Why is your life so miserable!" The third aunt looked at her with tears in her eyes and lost her voice.

"But the village chief, what should I do with the river god! It will make a fool a sacrifice!" At this time, an uncle reminded him.

"Hmph! It's a big deal to fight with it! You must not hand over Sister Silly!" Er Zhuang jumped out, he was still young and didn't know much about this.

"Evil beast, how dare you resist the gods!" An old man on the stage angrily picked up a cane and threw it directly at Er Zhuang.

"Okay! stop arguing!" Seeing that the situation was about to be chaotic again, the village chief had no choice but to stand up.

"Since everyone is arguing endlessly and can't make up their minds, then according to the old rules of the village, those who agree to hand over the stupid ones will stand on the right, and those who disagree will stand on the left. ”

The crowd fell silent, as if no one wanted to be the first to stand in line.

"Hmph, what are you waiting for?

Eventually, an old lady snorted coldly and slowly walked to the right.

With the first person taking the lead, the others slowly walked to the right, as if they were not the ones who took the lead, and felt better.

"Let go of me! I'm going to Sister Silly!You bad guys!" A little girl cried and shouted, usually Ling Yufei accompanied her to play at home, how could she hand over Sister Silly to that river god now?

But the young girl was covered by her parents and dragged to the right.

In the end, except for Lin Yang, the third aunt, the second Zhuang family, and a few other people on Ling Yufei's side, everyone else went to the other side.

"You!" the village chief felt a pain in his heart when he saw this scene, but he was helpless.

"Village Chief, pay attention to your position, you represent more than yourself, don't forget, you are still the village head of Linjia Village! You are responsible for the whole village!" An old man behind him said coldly.

When the village chief heard this, he sighed faintly, and his originally straight back became rickety, and the whole person seemed to have suddenly aged a lot.

He has made a lot of regulations for Linjia Village, and he will not give up anyone in the village, but now in the face of the general trend, he has to bow his head.

"From today on, the old man will no longer be the village chief of Linjia Village, you can decide for yourself. After being silent for a while, he walked down slowly, feeling that he was no longer suitable to be the village chief.

"Girl, the old man is sorry for you. The village chief walked up to Ling Yufei step by step and bowed slightly.

"The village chief's concern, Silly knows, thank you. Ling Yufei also bowed his head slightly and returned a salute.

The old village chief nodded, looked at the crying third aunt and Lin Yang with a complicated face, sighed slightly, and walked towards the village alone.

In the silence of everyone, the village chief disappeared from view.

"Okay, since Lin Jian is no longer the village head, then the old man will temporarily take the position of village head. The old man behind the village chief said that he was also one of the most senior people in the village.

"Now that you've made your decision, then..."

"Wait, I have something to say!" a voice interrupted the old man's speech.

"Lin Yang, what do you say?" the old man frowned.

"Actually, uncles and aunts don't need to panic too much, my teacher... My stupid guy is actually very powerful, maybe he can defeat that river god!"

Ling Yufei's eyebrows jumped when he listened to it in the back, when did I become yours?

"Presumptuous! Don't you think you can't make enough trouble!"

At this time, the old man on the stage roared angrily, feeling that Lin Yang was too unreasonable.

"That is, with her as a weak woman, how can she beat Lord River God!"

"Xiaoyang, didn't you kill us by shielding a fool like this!"

Someone in the crowd immediately chimed in.

As soon as Lin Yang wanted to explain again, he heard Ling Yufei's voice coming: "Okay, that's enough." ”

Lin Yang could only nod silently when he heard this, and said, "How about Master, is that river god sure?"

"It's just trash fish. Ling Yufei replied coldly.

After Lin Yang heard this, his heart was settled, and he stopped talking.

"Okay, that's it! There are still three days to go, so I'll bother the stupid girl to stay in the village, and don't move around. Finally, the old man announced that the decision had been made.

The crowd gradually dispersed, some people looked at Ah Silly with guilty eyes, and some people silently lowered their heads.

"Uncle, thank you. Lin Yang looked at Erzhuang's father and the others beside him and said.

"What are you talking about, Xiaoyang, you grew up watching us, how can you see your daughter-in-law die like this!" Lin Shu's father said nonchalantly.

"Uncle, don't talk nonsense!" Lin Yang glanced at the smiling Ling Yufei and hurriedly stopped him.

"But it's hard to do now, and if Lord River God comes, we can't do anything about it. Erzhuang's father had a bitter face and thought of a way.

"Uncles, don't say that, we'll be fine. Lin Yang is extremely optimistic.

"It's going to be okay! Do you have a conscience, Ah Silly is going to be treated as a sacrifice!" The third aunt on the side cried and hit Lin Yang.

A group of people only persuaded and coaxed the third aunt to stabilize first, and then left with a sad face.

"Third aunt, let's go home too. Ling Yufei took the third aunt's hand and said softly.

Crying and nodded, Ling Yufei and the third aunt went home together, Lin Yang hummed a little song calmly, the master said that it was just miscellaneous fish, what else do you need to worry about?

But what happened today still gave him a huge feeling, mortals are always mortals.

At night, Ling Yufei was meditating in the room, and sensed that the third aunt was in the dark, and a person sneaked in, thinking that she was going to take something, and ignored it.

As a result, the black shadow tiptoed up to Ling Yufei, and then a sack was wrapped towards her.

"Third aunt, what are you doing here?" A flash appeared behind the third aunt, and Ling Yufei couldn't laugh or cry a little.

"Ouch boy, why are you awake! Come with me! I put you in a sack, and I said that I was going to dig something in the mountains!" the third aunt explained anxiously, for fear that Ling Yufei would not understand.

Lin Yang also appeared at the door embarrassedly at this time, he was an accomplice found by the third aunt.

Ling Yufei glared at Lin Yang fiercely, and then said softly to the third aunt: "If I leave, that river god really comes to Linjia Village, what will the villagers do?"

The third aunt listened and was silent.

All hearts are pedantic after all, and no one is the same.
