Chapter 343
On that day, the door of the Zheng family was knocked open, and a large group of people rushed into the front hall with wind and snow all over their bodies.
"Class leader, Master Ninth Master, this is..." Sang Ye came to hear the news and saw the leader and Master Ninth Master who were leading him at first sight. Seeing the two of them with serious expressions, the people following him also looked bad, especially when they looked at her, she felt very unkind, and guessed whether they were born to something that they didn't know but were related to their own family.
The others were not from the Zheng clan, and Sang Ye had never seen her before, which made her more cautious. She wondered if Zheng Shuiqing, who was driven out to make a living, had to make trouble for her and let her find her home.
"Sang, don't be anxious, please listen to me slowly." Seeing that Sang Ye's face was wrong, the patriarch thought that his large group of people rushed over and scared the person, so he spoke out to comfort him.
"Yes." Sang Ye felt a little relieved, and hurriedly led the clan leader, the ninth master, to the upper seat, and arranged for others to sit down, poured each of them a cup of hot tea.
It was speculated that something big might have happened. These people couldn't leave for a while. Old Man Zheng didn't sit there, and moved the braziers burned at home to the main hall, and told Meng to go to the kitchen to cook tea.
Like Sang Ye, Old Man Zheng was worried as he watched this group of people come to the door. He was incompetent and was afraid that his eldest son would not be at home and his daughter-in-law would not be able to deal with it, so he could only do some small things within his ability.
If the bad things that are really related to one's own family, these people can do it too hard for the elderly, weak, women and children to treat them carefully.
"Second, sit down, don't be busy." The patriarch looked at Old Man Zheng who was busy in and out, and pointed to the chair on the side of his hand and asked him to sit down.
"Hey, I'll sit down now." Old Man Zheng sat down with some fear and did not carry the kettle around the room and poured tea and water for others.
The patriarch and the Ninth Master were old, and they walked over in the deep and shallow wind and snow, and their bodies became warm after drinking a few cups of hot tea, and their slightly blue and white faces returned to blood.
The others saw that they were slow and slow, and although they were anxious and wanted to explain the matter clearly immediately, they were also cold and panicked. They suppressed their impatientness and hugged the teacup and sipped in small sips to warm their bodies.
Mang Ye waited patiently until the patriarch's eyes looked over, and she quickly sat upright and took a look at her ears.
The patriarch did not go around the corner and pointed at the future intentions of those outside the village: "Sang Family, they are all villagers at the foot of Mang Mountain. Just a few days ago, a beast attacked their village and bit countless livestock to death..."
At first, when Sang Ye heard that a beast was going down the mountain to harm people, she secretly felt a lot of sweat for the villagers living at the foot of Mang Mountain and did not think about the fat group. Until the patriarch said that the footprints left by the beast were exactly the same as the bear paw, she suddenly understood the purpose of the patriarch and others, and her face became extremely ugly.
No wonder so many people came to their homes, but it turned out that they were "inciting troops to sue"!
Mangshan is located on the outskirts of the mountains. It is the most majestic mountain closest to the mountains. It is named after the legend of a python immortal. There are several large and small mountains at the foot of Mangshan. Once the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, the carnivores in the mountains may go down the mountain to harm the villagers' livestock if they cannot find food.
Fortunately, this situation does not occur every year. Sometimes you are lucky enough to not encounter it for more than ten years. Sometimes you are not lucky enough to harm the livestock for several consecutive years. For example, this time, it is typical for bad luck. After all, it has just not been long since the heavy snow fell, and it is far from the point where the mountain is blocked by heavy snow. But some beasts went down the mountain to harm people.
Many thoughts flashed through my mind. After listening to the patriarch's words, Mang Ye looked at the people in the outside village coldly: "There are mountains outside Mang Mountain, and there are countless tigers, wolfs and beasts. Just based on the footprints left by the bear, it is impossible to determine that the livestock that was bitten to death was done by the Fat Group, right? Besides, even if it was done by the Fat Group, my head of the family released it half a month ago. Do you think I have to care about this matter?"
Sang Ye said that she was not afraid of these people making trouble, but she was afraid that these people would force herself to accept this while her man was away. However, these people had some brains and knew to say hello to the patriarch and the others instead of making trouble at home. Otherwise, no matter whether the fat group did this, they would not have to leave here.
"Sang, what do you mean?" With a "bang", a man slapped the table heavily, stood up and glared at Sang Ye angrily: "You think we don't know that blind bears are going to sleep in the cave and will not come out easily? It's not the blind bear you raised, are we the ones who killed the beast and framed you?"
How could Sang Ye be scared by him? His face became more and more cold: "When you catch the thief and see the stolen goods, you came to the door with a fierce momentum. Just a few words, you pushed the blame to my house. Why can't I suspect that you were deliberately framed and attempted to ask me to compensate you for your losses?"
Her superpowers did not disappear. Even if the fat group did what they did in the forest every day, even if they could not fully know it, they could be sure that it had never gone down the mountain, and it would be even more impossible to harm the livestock. Otherwise, she would not have denied this matter against her conscience for a matter of just a few taels of silver.
This group of people is also not sure that it was made by the Fat Group, but they just put their ideas on her for their own selfish interests, trying to make her a sucker to compensate for the losses. She looks so easy to bully?
Sang Ye said something, and the group of people who were not confident could not speak. The look of looking at Sang Ye was no longer as angry as before, and became dodging and dared not look directly.
"Ahem, Sang, they just want to figure things out." The patriarch did not want to make things worse. Seeing that both sides looked wrong, he smoothed out: "That's the case. No one wants the beasts that have been raised at home for more than half a year to be harmed. But Sang's words are quite reasonable. It is indeed inappropriate to catch the thief and ask Sang to take responsibility without any evidence!"
"This...Captain Zheng, what do you think you should do?" These people were unwilling to refute the patriarch's words, for fear of annoying the old patriarch, so they gathered several people from the village to beat them out: "We heard that she raised a blind bear, and thought she had not taken care of the blind bear and taught it to come out to harm people. We don't know what the blind bear looks like, how do we know if it did it?"
Hearing this, Sang Ye sneered. There was no certainty, and these people dared to come to him. They were really greedy!
This smile made these people from outside the village angry and annoyed, but they had no choice. After all, they all admitted that they were not sure whether the blind bear who caused trouble was the one raised by the Zheng family.
Off topic
The power outage was in the evening and I came very late. I had a cold and rancid, so I couldn’t concentrate and I was very slow to code. I only had these two thousand words today, and I would make up for it if I didn’t go to work tomorrow!
