C1 Traveling Through the Countryside

The sun is burning. The sun was burning in the middle of the sky, and everything on the ground was burning so hard that it wanted nothing more than to hide itself.

The hoe was still waving with all its might. It drew a streamlined arc in the air and landed heavily on the ground. It pulled hard and created a mud pit. Then it turned to the next place.

"Mrs. Xu! Stop digging. Quickly go home and take a look. Your Xu Yao fell into the river. I'm afraid she won't be able to get up in one breath!"

With a clang, the hoe heavily landed on the ground and smashed the jar of water. Clear water slowly flowed out from inside and wet the dry land.

Mrs. Xu stumbled over and her legs went weak. She almost fell to the ground several times. When she ran to the river at the village entrance, she saw the people in the village forming a circle and looking at the center of the circle.

From far away, she heard a sharp and mean voice, "What are you rushing for? You are just pretending to be dead. How could you die after drowning for so long?"

He pushed everyone away with all his might and saw a small wet body lying on the ground. His face was pale and his eyes were tightly shut.

"Yao'er!"

She cried out in pain and fell to the ground, hugging her stiff and cold body. However, she also felt that she was shivering from the cold. "Yao'er, what's wrong with you? Wake up! Open your eyes and look at your mother! Her mother is here! Wake up!"

"What's going on? Why did my Yao'er fall into the water when she was fine?" Unable to wake the child, Mrs. Xu turned her gaze towards the villagers.

A villager who was watching the show said, "Yes." It's still not this Mrs. Zhang. Because you ate a fruit in front of a big tree in front of her door, you chased the child and beat him up. You chased the child into the river. Seeing that she was flapping her wings and did not save him, the child became like this."

"Zhang Citizen, I want you to talk too much here? Be careful that I will tear your stinky mouth apart!" Mrs. Zhang's face turned black when she heard that. She immediately shot a wave of anger at the person who opened his mouth.

Mrs. Xu looked at Mrs. Zhang with teary eyes, "Mrs. Zhang, my Yao'er will eat a fruit of yours. When I come back, I will give you money. Why do you have to do this? Do you really want to kill my child? You can also do anything to such a young child!"

"What do you mean by I will kill you all? She jumped into the river herself. What does it have to do with me? She just drank some water. She'll wake up soon. What's the rush?" Mrs. Zhang was also a person with a bad temper. She rolled her eyes and pinched her waist, preparing to fight with Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu was so stifled that she had nothing to say. She could only bury her head and cry. Sweat and tears flowed onto Xu Yao's body.

Suddenly, the little person in her arms shook twice. Then, she began to cough violently. She opened her small mouth and spat out a large amount of water.

Mrs. Xu saw this and was overjoyed as she hugged her, "Yao'er! Yao'er, are you awake? Quickly open your eyes and look at mother!"

Mrs. Zhang who saw this scene by the side curled her lips," I told you to play dead. You people only know to watch the show and wrongly accuse good people. Alright, alright, there is nothing to see. Everyone quickly disperse! "

Xu Yao faintly opened her eyes and saw an unfamiliar face. In an unfamiliar world, a large amount of information kept flooding into her mind, causing her to frown in pain.

"Yao'er? Yao'er, how are you? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Quickly tell mother!"

Mrs. Xu hugged her lost daughter as if she had obtained a treasure. She was so excited that tears once again flowed down her face.

Xu Yao heard the sound and looked up. She smiled weakly and called out this unfamiliar name, "Mother, I'm fine. Don't worry."

"It's good that you're fine. It's good that you're fine..." Mrs. Xu let out a huge sigh of relief and held her head in her arms. She was afraid that the child would disappear the moment she let go.

Seeing Xu Yao wake up, The simple and honest villagers also revealed a smile, "It's good that you're awake. It's just a false alarm!"

"Alright, alright. You're already awake and you're still putting on a show of mother-daughter love. Since it's alright, then let's talk about money. Your b * tch stole the fruit from the tree at my doorstep. Let's talk about how the money counts. "

Mrs. Zhang impatiently planned the joy of surviving the disaster. She opened her mouth and started to talk about money.

Her actions made the villagers unable to bear it anymore. They all blamed her. "Sister-in-law Zhang, this is not right. Isn't it just how much money can a fruit be worth? You almost killed this child and Mrs. Xu did not cause trouble for you. Isn't it too immoral of you to do this?"

What virtue do you lack? Ah, let me ask you, what virtue do you lack? It is only right and proper to repay debts. It's already good that she stole my fruit and ate it. It's not bad that I did not send her to the government. You guys still say that I am immoral? You guys are just moral, right? Fine, you help her pay for the fruit. "One tael of silver!" Mrs. Zhang had always been famous for being spicy and did not fear these people in front of her. As she spoke, she extended her hand towards them.

"One fruit, one silver coin. Why don't you go and snatch it?! Are you made of gold or silver?" When the villagers heard that a fruit was so expensive, they began to retreat.

Mrs. Zhang laughed when she heard that. She laughed until all the fat on her body was shaking, "The fruit in front of my house, I will bid whatever price I want. Can you care about it? Even if it is a pile of shit, it is still valuable in my eyes!"

"So... you are still worth money."

The sudden clear and crisp sound entered everyone's ears. Everyone was stunned as they looked towards the place where the sound came from.

Xu Yao supported her mother's hand and stood up. The small person stood up straight. It was not even the adult's chest but at this moment, there was only coldness in her clear eyes. Mrs. Zhang could not help but feel a little scared when she saw it.

But very quickly, she reacted. She was just a child. What was she afraid of?

"You slut, what do you mean by that?" She glared at him and said angrily.

Xu Yao patted the wet mud on her hands and said casually, "Didn't you say that even a pile of shit is worth something in your eyes? So in your eyes, what do you think you are worth?"

Only then did everyone understand the meaning of her words. Immediately, someone burst out laughing. Mrs. Zhang was so angry that her face turned green. She rolled up her sleeves and took a few steps forward, "Wow, you little b * tch. You actually dare to call me a pile of sh * t! Today, I will not tear your mouth apart!"

"Yao'er!"

Seeing that the conflict had already started, Mrs. Xu subconsciously protected Xu Yao and prepared to use her own body to withstand Mrs. Zhang's attack.

Who would have thought that Xu Yao would be so agile and at the same time push her mother away. Mrs. Zhang missed and became even angrier, "Little bastard, you still want to dodge? Today, I will catch you and have a good rest!"

"Mrs. Zhang, Yao'er is still a child. Why do you need to lower yourself to her level!" Mrs. Xu cried and wanted to rush over to stop her.

Mrs. Zhang was about to slap her face but in this split second, a knife appeared out of nowhere and the knife was aimed at her.
