Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 3 The Rat and the Robber

There was a rat disaster in Lijia Village.

Fang Yao heard from Jiang's family that, except for their family, last night, more than a dozen other families in the village suffered.

Not to mention that the only remaining grain was eaten up by rats, and the clothes, cabinets, and farm implements were all eaten up, and even people didn’t let it go.

And Jiang's neighbor, Li Datou's house, was the worst hit.

"God-killed beast, there's only so much food left at home, it's all over!"

"God is going to kill us..."

From the open window, you could hear crying and scolding outside.

"His family has an old father lying in bed with limited mobility, as well as a little baby who is not yet a month old. Last night, hundreds of mice got into his house. The house was so poor that there was no food to eat. became the target of those beasts..."

It is said that the fingers and toes of the old man were bitten to pieces, and the baby was even worse, and none of the eyes, mouth, ears...

Jiang Shi went back to the back room while talking, Fang Yao led the two children and followed behind her, the former opened the tile tank hidden in the cabinet.

Fang Yao looked down and saw a bag of millet and a bag of old flour inside.

"God bless, the food is still there..." Jiang Shi was relieved immediately, and then whispered suspiciously, "The big head's family is so serious, I didn't expect the two families to be next to each other, we are actually fine..."

Fang Yao couldn't help thinking of last night's scene. Could it be that she was too brave when fighting mice, that she scared off her siblings?
Can't you?
Is it because...

Flicking to the side Dabao and Xiaomei holding masks as toys, Fang Yao's head suddenly flashed an astonishing guess.

She almost took her breath back to the room, took out the anonymous booklet, and turned to the first page.

This time, Fang Yao read the preface almost word for word.

——When the four seasons travel, all things are born; the changes of yin and yang, the epidemic and demons all appear; the beasts, the beasts, and the beasts are all my food; the slaying of the demons and the demons, the vicissitudes of heaven.

"The demon epidemic is all out..." She murmured and repeated these words, her hands continued to turn back and forth, and a picture of a rat ravaging her eyes suddenly widened her eyes.

"Second sister, I'm going to deliver some food to Datou's house. Watch the children and tell them not to go out."

Fang Yao raised her head suddenly, Jiang Shi was standing at the door with a small bag of flour and looked at her. She closed the booklet and said as calmly as possible: "Ah, ah, well, you go."

As soon as Mrs Jiang left, Fang Yao pulled Da Bao and the younger sister to the bedside, "Da Bao, show the mask to my aunt."

Dabao is rather well-behaved, blinking his eyes and asking, "Auntie, will you play with us later?"

Fang Yao touched Dabao's braid and coaxed half-truly, "This thing is used to hit mice. Last night, my aunt used it to hit a big mouse."

It was only when Dabao heard Jiang's talk about the mice gnawing on the children that his face became tangled and he put the mask into Fang Yao's arms, "Auntie, go and kill the other mice in the village."

"..."

Fang Yao was speechless, picked up the mask and turned it over and over to look carefully, and sure enough, she found some clues.

The surface of the mask was tattered, and there were no small LED tubes at all. No one touched it last night, but it lit up by itself. At first, she thought it was coated with luminous material, but in retrospect, it is impossible for the luminous material to suddenly become golden. Then flickered again.

Could it be... is this thing really powerful?
There is also the picture of the rat raging. I haven't read the booklet carefully before. I don't know if it was originally there. There is no other information on the picture, but it is a coincidence, but it is too coincidental, right?
"You, what are you going to do?"

Suddenly, Jiang's anger sounded from outside.

Fang Yao shook her hands, and quickly put the mask and booklet into the bag, pushed the things towards the bottom of the bed, and leaned on the window and looked out.

Jiang Shi, who had gone out to deliver food, was stopped at the door of his yard.

A few dark-skinned men surrounded her, and a middle-aged woman in her forties stood by, with her hands on her hips, and said in a high voice, "Aunt Jiang, why is everyone suffering? Your family's food is only available. It's not appropriate to take such a little out, right?"

Fang Yao remembered this woman. When she was wandering in the village yesterday, the middle-aged woman stared at her for a long time, and later heard someone call her A Wu Niang.

A Wu Niang was obviously not a good visitor, Jiang Shi's face was pale, and she said softly, "I also exchanged all the food for my own jewelry, and I have to use it for the two dolls.

"It's not too much, but let's see how much is left. Everyone in this village suffered, only your family was spared. This is not normal at all."

The other villagers gathered around, and A Wu Niang became more assertive. "Maybe it's because everyone helped you stop this disaster, and your family was at peace. Then everyone will naturally have a share of your food, don't you think?"

"Yeah, why is everyone suffering, and your family is all right? There must be some hidden secrets in it..."

"Aunt Jiang, if you take out the food to prove your innocence, we can get through this difficult time together, and we will not forget your kindness in the future."

Jiang Shi's face was not only pale at this time, but his whole body was shaking with anger.

Seeing that Awu Niang had stirred up the emotions of the other villagers, she raised her chin proudly, and took the lead in walking towards Jiang's yard, and the others followed suit.

"Depend on……"

Fang Yao, who was hiding in the house, couldn't help but swear, this was clearly someone who bullied Jiang's family who couldn't do anything, and came to robbery.

If these guys were to snatch the food from the Jiang family, she would really be reduced to eating dirt.

But in this house, there is a simple cabinet, two beds, and there is no place to store food at all.

The old wooden door was covered, and there was only a wooden plug inside. Outside, those people were slamming the door hard. After two hits, the overwhelmed wooden door of Jiang's house banged. Knocked down.

A Wu Niang led the villagers into the main room first.

Fang Yao took Dabao and little sister out of the back room, just in time to see Jiang's trying to rush in to stop her, but was pushed down by a village woman. Fortunately, a young man came to help and helped Jiang up.

"Mother! You bad people, let go of my mother—"

My mother was bullied, and the two children screamed and rushed over.

This group of conscientious people only picks the bully of orphans and widowed mothers, and it is estimated that they will not be too soft on children. Fang Yao quickly pulled the two dolls behind him, blocked the door, raised his head and shouted coldly at the few people who came in: " You are so brave! How dare you break into a private house!"

This voice was full of anger, and A Wu Niang's arrogant arrogance was forced to be a little lower. She stared at Fang Yao and looked at it carefully for a few seconds, and then pulled a hypocritical smile: "You are Aunt Jiang's sister, right? Yesterday Is it you who led Dabao around the village?"

Fang Yao had an intuition that this woman would not have anything good to say next, and interrupted with a cold face: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that in my Daxiang Civil Law, those who trespass in private houses will be innocent of killing!"
