Chapter 40 I don’t have to believe it
When Huo Manshu returned, Wang Sheng's house was surrounded by villagers, as if they were in trouble.
As Huo Manshu got a little closer, she could feel the heat radiating from the crowd, and she suddenly lost interest in stepping forward.
She just moved a small stool and sat in the shade of the tree obediently, and poked the arm of the person closest to her with her finger.
"Auntie, did something happen to Wang Sheng's family?"
"That's not true. I didn't see it before. That Niuniu from Wang Sheng's family is very powerful. She scratched the faces of the gossiping women in the village and even broke Granny Li's head with a stone."< br>
The woman who spoke looked at Huo Manshu's cute and well-behaved wife, and immediately got into the spirit of gossip, "Then Mrs. Li is not a person who likes to suffer losses. If she brings someone to find her, it is estimated that Wang Sheng's family will be ruined."
Huo Manshu pursed her lips, said something, kicked the pebbles at her feet, and stopped asking. It seemed that Niu Niu had listened to her words.
It's not going to be peaceful tonight.
Her plan must be put on the agenda quickly.
"Girl, you don't care?" The woman who spoke didn't see the reaction she wanted to see and felt a little unwilling. She couldn't help but betray her: "Niuniu from Wang Sheng's family used to be very obedient. Now she suddenly becomes like this. Maybe It’s possessed by a demon!”
"No." Homanshu looked up at the woman and retorted seriously: "She did this because she listened to my advice, not because she was possessed by a demon."
The woman originally planned to teach Huo Manshu the truth of gossip, but after hearing Huo Manshu's serious explanation, she immediately shut her mouth and stayed away from Huo Manshu realistically.
But he is still brave: "Who believes it!"
Huo Manshu shook her head and stopped explaining. She opened the illustrated book and took out the card containing the weeds she dug out.
[Black blood grass, the plant is black in color, turns red after being boiled, and is often used to draw talismans. Wizards are used to refining defensive talismans, which has the best effect. 】
She dug nearly 100 trees this morning, and the ones she dug were of the highest quality in that forest.
After thinking about it, Huo Manshu put the card back in the illustrated book, and while everyone was surrounding Wang Sheng's house, she strolled to the village ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall is not far from Wang Sheng's home. Huo Manshu noticed it when she went out in the morning, but there was someone guarding the door at that time, so she did not go in.
At this time, everyone went to Wang Sheng's house to watch the joke, so the supervision of the ancestral hall was naturally relaxed.
Somewhat unexpectedly, when Huo Manshu entered the ancestral hall, she found that Qu Lian was also there.
Qu Lian's eyes lit up when he saw Homanshu. He took out a pear from his pants pocket and handed it to Homanshu: "Manshu, I have been looking for you all morning. I thought you were swallowed by a demon. Fortunately, You are still fine. I picked this on the mountain when I was looking for you. It’s so sweet.”
Huo Manshu had no resistance to food, so she took a bite when Qu Lian said it was sweet. The bursting pear juice flowed out from the corners of her mouth. Huo Manshu took a sip, and her face instantly stiffened.
It's not sweet at all, it's so sour that it hurts your teeth.
"Hahaha, you've been fooled. The fruits in this damn place are so sour that you can't eat them at all." Qu Lian laughed so hard that his stomach ached when he saw the vivid reaction on Homanshu's face. He inadvertently glanced at Homanshu's increasingly ugly expression. The voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he laughed and said in a flattering voice, "It was just a joke."
"It's not funny at all, I never joke about food."
Huo Manshu stared at Qulian expressionlessly, "I wanted to believe you once, but you are so terrible."
"Don't be like this, I just want to tease you."
Qu Lian couldn't help laughing, "Well, I just found a treasure, and I'll give it to you."
As he spoke, he took out a jade brush and handed it to Huo Manshu like a magic trick, "It was offered in this ancestral hall. It must not be bad."
Huo Manshu glanced at it and didn't answer.
"Really, I lied to you like a puppy."
Qu Lian looked into Huo Manshu's eyes with a particularly sincere expression. Huo Manshu was silent for a moment and accepted: "If you lied to me, you are just a puppy."
Qu Lian smiled: "Yes, yes, if I lied to you, I would be a puppy."
Qu Lian has already seen that Huo Manshu is like a child. In fact, it is easy to trust people. As long as you follow her wishes, her anger will be forgotten in a blink of an eye.
He thought he would be cool and sit on the table to tell Huo Manshu about his findings, but he didn't expect that as soon as he sat on it, one of the legs of the table broke and he fell to the ground.
Qu Lian sat among the shattered table scraps, holding the broken table leg in his hand, with absurdity in his eyes: "This table leg was actually eaten by insects?"
He had obviously been jumping up and down on it before Homanshu came, and he had always been very strong
Huo Manshu also noticed Qu Lian's movements. After listening to his words, she just said lightly: "You should be grateful for being alive."
Qu Lian threw away the wood in his hand and smiled, "That's right. You should be grateful when you are alive and be content with what you have. Man Shu, you are a philosopher."
After walking around the ancestral hall and finding nothing useful, Huo Manshu was not ready to stay.
When her eyes glanced at Qu Lian, who was doing nothing with his hands behind his back, Huo Manshu thought for a while and stopped: "Niuniu from Wang Sheng's family is very suspicious."
"Huh?"
Because Huo Manshu's words were too out of the ordinary, Qu Lian didn't react for a moment, "Didn't you go out to play in the morning? Did you go to solve a case?"
Qu Lian teased: "I didn't expect you to be so diligent."
Huo Manshu gave Qu Lian an idiot look and left without looking back.
Qulian always amazes her.
If it weren't for Qu Lian's strong fighting ability, she really wouldn't have chosen to tell Qu Lian about Niu Niu.
When I returned to Wang Sheng's house, the people around me had already left.
The expressions of Wang Sheng's family were gloomy, as if their flesh had been cut off.
The expressions of the other players in the courtyard were not very good either. They were all disheveled and looked very different from how they looked before Homanshu left.
"What happened to you? Were you beaten?"
Huo Manshu didn't understand euphemisms, so she asked out of curiosity.
Wang Sheng glared at Ho Man Shu fiercely, and Niu Niu next to him also glared angrily at Ho Man Shu. Even Wang Sheng's wife, who had always been gentle, looked at Ho Man Shu with some complaints.
"Dear guest, don't you know clearly?"
Wang Sheng's daughter-in-law was angry and spoke with sticks.
"What should I know? Just say it straight. I don't like people to be weird."
Huo Manshu didn't follow Wang Sheng's wife's behavior and stared at her straightly.
"Man Shu!"
Wang Sheng's wife intensified her tone, not happy that Huo Manshu was pretending to be confused.
"Don't call me Man Shu. People who want to harm me have no right to call me that."
Huo Manshu calmly raised her hand and interrupted Wang Sheng's wife: "I don't believe you don't know at all."
Seeing that Wang Sheng's wife wanted to defend herself, Huo Manshu said directly: "You know what I'm talking about. You can deny it, but I don't have to believe it either."
