Era: Starting from cave dwellings in northern Shaanxi

Chapter 35: Someone Rumored
  “I don’t know which bastard started the rumor, saying that you were able to find this well not because of your own ability, but because this was your family’s old home.

It was said that when your family was digging this cave dwelling, they knew there was water underneath, but they deliberately kept it secret and did not want to dig a well in their own yard for everyone to eat.

It wasn't until the well in the village ran dry this time that I had no choice but to choose the location here under the guise of looking for water.

He also said that you don’t know how to use the Xunlong Ruler at all, and you are just cheating. "

Sun Qingbo told the rumors he had heard with an angry face, looking like he was defending Sun Xiangyang.

Anyway, no matter what others say, he believes that Sun Xiangyang has real abilities.

"Showing off?"

Sun Xiangyang thought about this word for a while, but he had to admit that this rumor was quite well made, and it made perfect sense in terms of logic.

According to normal logic, his family knew Feng Shui before, so they chose this Feng Shui treasure place and dug these cave dwellings.

So during this process, isn’t it normal to find water underground?
  Others who don't understand Feng Shui will naturally not be able to discover it, but this does not include Sun Xiangyang's family.

Especially his father, who used to be able to find water for the village, doesn't he know that there is water here too?

Combined with Sun Xiangyang's past performance.

Got it!
  The more I think about it, the more it makes sense, as if it is the truth.

I don’t know who may have spread this rumor.

But there is no doubt that he must have a grudge against him and dislike him.

Mrs. Qian?
  Zhao Fuhai?
  Or is it that Wang Li?
  "Xiang Yang, in my opinion, this matter must be investigated thoroughly. You cannot be slandered by others. When I find that guy, I have to tear his mouth off."

Sun Qingbo continued.

"I really need to check it out. I also want to know who hates me so much."

Sun Xiangyang nodded.

As the saying goes, destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.

Although he also understood that everyone's gratitude to him was only temporary, but no matter what, he had to harvest a batch of experience points first, and he still expected to work hard through this.

Even negative emotions can bring him experience points, but a three-year-old child knows how to choose between smiling gratefully and secretly drawing a knife, pointing at his nose and scolding.

Moreover, some rumors spread, and everyone believed them.

Although rumors are limited to the wise, most of the people in this world are ordinary people who follow what others say.

The reason why rumors are so marketable and widely circulated is because they are gimmicks and can satisfy some people's dark thoughts.

More importantly, when rumors are spread, there will be a sense of superiority that everyone in the world is drunk and I am alone.

Naturally, the more it spreads, the more outrageous it becomes.

Once Sun Xiangyang forms this impression of being a swindler, he will have to spend many times more effort if he wants to change it in the future.

Although he has not yet mastered the skill of Seeking Dragon Ruler and does not know how to use it, he does not feel guilty at all about this matter.

He was able to find this well purely by his own 'real ability'.

"Okay, you tell me how to check, I'll listen to you."

Sun Qingbo said immediately.

"Has anyone from Granny Qian and Zhao Fuhai been in contact with them these days?"

Sun Xiangyang was still the first to suspect these two people.

"I don't know about others, but Widow Qian goes to deliver food every day, but Zhao Fugui has never been there. He just asks Widow Qian to bring him a piece of cornbread every day to ensure that Zhao Fuhai doesn't starve to death. Do you suspect that? Is it a rumor made by the two of them?"

Sun Qingbo looked like he was going to settle accounts with them immediately.

"It's hard to say. Regardless of whether it is true or not, just ask."

Sun Xiangyang said.

"Ask?"

Sun Qingbo felt that even if the other party started the rumor, he probably wouldn't admit it. But since Sun Xiangyang said to ask, he naturally accompanied him.

Soon, the two came to the abandoned cave dwelling where Mrs. Qian and Zhao Fuhai were locked up.

This place looks very desolate. After all, no one lives in it and no one cleans it. There is even a cave dwelling next to it that has mostly collapsed.

The other cave door, which was relatively intact, was blocked by a wooden board that leaked air everywhere. It was quiet inside, with no sound coming out.

At the beginning, the old party secretary took the decision and locked the two of them here until they could get water.

But now, although the water has been pumped out, the old party secretary is busy, how can he pay attention to these two people?

Moreover, since the old party secretary had a heart-to-heart talk with him, he also understood that people like Mrs. Qian and Zhao Fuhai must be indispensable in a village.

Even in most villages, there are such people who are hated by people and disliked by dogs. They become the talk of everyone after dinner, ridicule, and teach children the opposite.

Sun Qingbo stepped forward and untied the wooden boards tied with iron wires. When the sunlight from outside came in, he could see two figures huddled on some firewood at the entrance of the cave dwelling.

It was Mrs. Qian and Zhao Fuhai.

But now the two of them were disheveled and their cheeks were thin. After the board was removed, they all started struggling, their eyes seemed to be glowing green.

Moreover, there were some scratch marks on Zhao Fuhai's face.

There was also a little bruise left at the corner of Mrs. Qian's mouth.

Apparently, the two men had a history of conflict.

Originally, Sun Xiangyang was suspicious of these two people, but after seeing each other's appearance, this suspicion immediately faded away.

The two of them were obviously hungry and had no energy at all, so how could they have the intention to spread rumors?

Besides, who do they tell rumors to?

Compared to him, the two of them had no popularity at all in Shuangshuiwan. With the deliberate connivance of the old party secretary, everyone wished they could die. Who would show kindness to see them?

Widow Qian did come every day to bring some food and drink, but the other party's soft temper did not seem like the kind of person who would spread rumors.

"Brother Xiangyang, I was wrong. I never dare to do it again. Please, for my brother's sake, let me out."

After he got used to it a little and saw clearly who was coming, Zhao Fuhai pushed himself up and crawled towards Sun Xiangyang.

"I don't dare anymore, please let me out."

Mrs. Qian shouted feebly as well.

"Be honest with me. There is no old party secretary to speak to Xiang Yang. If you dare to come out, don't blame me for being rude."

Sun Qingbo stopped directly at the entrance of the cave.

The two of them also stopped.

At this time, Sun Xiangyang couldn't help but think of a saying: Poor people must be hateful.

At least when it came to arranging her own family, Mrs. Qian showed no mercy.

He still remembers the look of him gritting his teeth and regretting that he was not taken away by King Jing Long.

If he forgives the other person because he has been imprisoned for a period of time, suffered a little, and looks pitiful, then he will look down on himself, not to mention others.

From now on, anyone will dare to sit on his head and shit.

What's more, Sun Xiangyang really couldn't sympathize with him.

Therefore, it is definitely not possible to let the two people out.

However, he still set his sights on Zhao Fuhai.

After all, compared to Mrs. Qian, Zhao Fuhai had no grudges with him before.

The key is that this guy is usually very wild in Shuangshui Bay, and he is well-informed.

Maybe I can ask something, maybe.
