C9 Why Are You Here

As soon as Xia Yu finished speaking, all the people guarding outside came in.

Xia Yu took a look and saw that there were quite a few people waiting outside.

Other than Xia Changlian and her daughter, Aunt Zhou also brought her husband and a few of Zhou Sheng's relatives.

The men were all holding pitchforks and hoes, and they looked like they wanted to fight. As for the women, they hid behind them worriedly, afraid that Xia Yu would eat them.

However, Xia Yu was not afraid at all. She pointed at the group of people and said, "If you have the ability, then come up here. Today, I will show you how powerful I am!"

Xia Yu was also putting on an act. In any case, if this godmother said that she was not a demoness, Xia Changlian and her daughter probably wouldn't believe it either.

It would be better to just sit and play. It would be more long-term.

The Granny God started to jump up and down. She muttered to herself, and the talismans in her hands flew all over the sky.

While she was spinning in circles, she gave Xia Yu a look and Xia Yu immediately fell to the ground.

The group of villagers rushed forward to attack Xia Yu, but the godmother quickly stopped them and shouted, "He moved! He ran somewhere else!"

When the villagers heard the godmother's words, they all stopped in their tracks. "Where did I go? It's best to get rid of this unclean thing."

At this moment, the Nanny took out her own bell and shook it. She also took out her compass and fiddled with it for a while, then pointed it in Xia Changlian's direction. "On her, this woman has been possessed by a monster. We must capture her! Only after I do the rites can I resolve the crisis."

How could Xia Changlian have thought that the trap she had carefully set up would become her cage instead?

She looked at the Granny God in surprise, her eyes filled with surprise. "Stop talking nonsense, I'm not some witch, you old witch..."

But just now, everyone had clearly seen the godmother knock Xia Yu out with a few blows. They definitely did not believe Xia Changlian's side of the story and went forward to capture her.

"Let go! Let go of me!" Xia Changlian screamed again and again.

At this time, Xia Changping and Shen Yao also came back. When they saw the situation in the courtyard, they were obviously shocked.

Xia Yu looked at Xia Changping's reaction. Xia Changlian did not tell Xia Changping the truth about this matter, so Xia Changping was surprised to see so many people.

"What are you doing here?"

Aunt Zhou and her husband were the most proactive, shouting, "The monster came out of your daughter's body, and now it's revived in Xia Changlian's body."

Xia Changlian was speechless as she cried and begged Xia Changping: "Brother, please save me, they will kill me!"

Xia Changping couldn't help but feel some sympathy for his sister when he saw her crying like that. "What are you doing? Hurry up and let him go!"

But how could Xia Changping's words count? These people didn't listen at all and dragged Xia Changlian out.

Xia Changping had no other choice. Seeing Xia Changlian being dragged away and then seeing his daughter lying on the ground, he was in a dilemma.

Left with no other choice, Xia Changping could only leave Shen Yao at home to take care of Xia Yu. Then he chased after her.

Shen Yao and Xia Qingyun struggled to carry Xia Yu back into the house. Xia Yu, who had been conscious all this time, opened her eyes not long after they carried her in. "Mom, what's wrong with me?"

Shen Yao saw that Xia Yu, who had recovered, did not return to her original silly state. A gratified smile appeared on her face.

Xia Qingyun said from the side, "We were working in the fields just now. When we heard some noise at home, we hurried back to take a look. That group of people said that they invited a goddess to exorcise you. I heard that you fainted just like that."

Xia Yu pretended to be surprised." There's actually such a thing. It's probably because you met a water ghost two days ago when you went into the water to pick herbs, right? "

Shen Yao naturally believed everything, but Xia Qingyun stood at the side and did not say a word.

After Shen Yao went out to do her work, she fainted and came to Xia Yu's side. "Sister, are you hiding something from me?"

It was impossible for Xia Yu to lie in front of Xia Qingyun. Taking advantage of Shen Yao's absence, Xia Yu told her everything that had happened.

When Xia Qingyun heard this, he was extremely angry: "There are actually such shameless people! Let's go! We'll go and find trouble with them now!"

Xia Yu's alliance pulled him back. "What's the use of you going to them? Does anyone believe you when you say that? In fact, it's quite good. It's not a bad thing for us to spend money and avoid disaster."

The main thing was that he could teach Xia Changlian a lesson and see if she would still dare to cause trouble.

"But that two taels of silver was given to him just like that? Father and mother are keeping the silver well. What if they find it missing?"

"I have a way to deal with this, don't worry about it."

Although he was a little worried, Xia Qingyun still believed in Xia Yu. "Alright then, as long as Sister says something, I'll do it."

Xia Yu smiled and nodded her head. She patted his head and said, "I'm afraid you'll have to go and see Lin Chengcan alone today. I just put on a show this morning, and I'm already jumping around in the afternoon. I'm going to make those people suspicious again."

"Alright then. You can rest at home. You don't have much work to do today."

Xia Changping went out for a long time before he returned. When he came back, it was almost noon. Shen Yao let them eat first, then she stood guard at the door by herself.

Not long after, Xia Changping returned with a worried expression on his face.

If you can't speak, you can only use your expression to express your thoughts.

Xia Changping sighed helplessly, "I'm afraid the situation is not good. He can't think of any way to solve it right now."

It meant that Xia Changlian was currently imprisoned by the villagers and had yet to be released, right?

Xia Qingyun also sent a message, "Isn't that witch here? Can't you just help me take care of it?"

Xia Changping nodded and sighed, "If he doesn't even let that godmother get close, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to get her."

That would really be Xia Changlian reaping what she sowed. If she had been a little more honest, she might have been released a long time ago.

After all, the Goddess Dowager had taken her money, so she couldn't let anything happen to her client.

Besides, Xia Yu had already told the Goddess that she was willing to do anything but harm others' lives.

"Let's wait for the news first. They won't let me in. I'm the one who's hindering them." Xia Changping sat down and ate something.

Originally, they had agreed to go to work in the afternoon, but since this had happened, Xia Changping did not have the mood to do so.

So in the afternoon, Xia Changping and Shen Yao went to Xia Changlian's place, leaving Xia Qingyun and Xia Yu at home.

Xia Qingyun actually wanted to go too. Although he hated his aunt, he was also worried that something would happen to her. "Sister, do you think the villagers will do anything to my aunt? I'm always very worried. Two years ago, I heard that there was a ghost in a village nearby. I heard that he was beaten to death."

Xia Yu frowned. "Why don't you not go and see Lin Chengcan? Let's go and take a look together."

"Then what about Brother Lin? Are we going to break our appointment just like that?"

"Write a note. We'll leave it at the same place. He should know."

The two of them wrote a note and put it at the agreed place before going to Xia Changlian's house.

However, the villagers were not at Xia Changlian's house, but on the road not far from her house.

He heard Xia Changlian's voice from afar, "Let go of me! I'm not, I'm not a witch!"

In between these words, there was also the shout of the Granny God," Stop fighting, someone's going to die! "
