"You want to deceive the people with your lies? Forget it." Fat Winter Melon said coldly, and he made a hand gesture and was about to chant a spell.
I raised my hand and shouted, "Wait, why don't you let me finish my words? Are you hiding something?"
"I have something on my mind, so don't slander me!" Fat Winter Melon said angrily.
I snorted and said, "If you have nothing to hide, let me finish what I'm saying."
"Okay, I'll let you finish." Fat Winter Melon's face turned blue with anger.
I turned back and continued to look at the villagers and said loudly: "The tragic death of Xiusao's family did not offend the gods. I believe everyone knows this. The fairy child spoke that day to convey the gods' will, and you all listened. I know you would rather believe Mr. Ma and Mr. Gu than an outsider like me, but have you ever thought that people are dead, but even the bodies have not been found, and they cannot be buried. This is what is outrageous to both humans and gods, and it is intolerable to heaven!"
Everyone thought what I said made sense and started talking among themselves. They were also indignant that the body of Xiu Sao’s eldest son had not been found.
Shen Bing gave me a thumbs up, as if praising what I said.
I smiled at her, then frowned and continued, "I know where the child's body is. Do you want to bring him back and bury him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd responded: "Where is it? Let's carry it back!" Several strong young men stood up immediately.
Fat Winter Melon and the man surnamed Gu's faces suddenly changed color. After they exchanged glances, the man surnamed Gu quietly turned around and walked out.
I sneered and shouted at his back, "Mr. Gu, please stay. Things here haven't been clarified yet. Where are you going?"
"Is it not okay for me to go to the bathroom?" The man surnamed Gu said to me with a stiff neck.
"No, because you have detained Sister Xiu's son. You can't go anywhere until this matter is clarified." I glared at her.
Fat Winter Melon secretly winked at the man surnamed Gu, and he walked back. Fat Winter Melon said with a gloomy face: "Tell me where the body of Xiusao's son is, so that I can send you off after you tell me."
I smiled and said, "Why are you pretending to be confused in your own home?"
Fat Winter Melon looked at me in surprise, but then calmed down and sneered, "You are slandering me and deliberately delaying time. Folks, don't listen to his nonsense. Let the fairy boy get rid of this evildoer!"
Angry looks appeared on the villagers' faces, as if they really believed Fat Winter Melon. Here, he was a god.
I put my hands behind my back and said, "Whether I am slandering you or not, you will know when you go to Mr. Ma's house. If I really did frame a good person, you don't need to do anything, I will just hit my head and die in front of Sister Xiu's spirit!"
Everyone thought what I said made sense, and it wouldn't be a big deal to go to Mr. Ma's house. After all, everyone wanted to find the body of Xiu's son. Several people immediately agreed.
Fat Winter Melon's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He looked at me with endless hatred and said through gritted teeth, "In the past few days, the immortals have descended upon my home to teach me the Dharma. No one is allowed to enter without permission. If you offend the immortals, you will suffer the same fate as Sister Xiu's son."
The villagers who echoed the voice were so frightened that they immediately shut their mouths and dared not speak again.
I smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of offending God's might. Of course, you won't let me go, so how about I let her go?" Then I pointed at Shen Bing.
Everyone was stunned. Even Fat Winter Melon didn't expect that I would let a girl find the body.
