Chapter 848: Chapter 851: We Surrender
The scene was chaotic as Yang Ming was nearly overwhelmed while Little Shitou and his mother were being bullied on the other side.
At this point, Xiaoxiao was infuriated. How did they run into such a group of barbarians? Can’t they just talk things through?
If this keeps going, there is no doubt they will be captured. Yang Ming isn’t someone who can fight well, and if this goes on, he will get hurt. Fighting can’t solve the problem. They can compromise for now and find a chance to escape later. So she covered Little Liufu’s ears and shouted loudly to the crowd, "Stop fighting, we admit to being caught."
Yang Ming, who was still engaged in the confrontation, heard his wife’s voice and turned around abruptly, his eyes full of confusion, "Wife?"
Xiaoxiao shook her head at Yang Ming, "Husband, stop fighting."
Seeing this, Yang Ming had no choice but to stop. He knew that continuing like this was not a solution, so the family of three was captured.
They were brought before the Village Chief by the villagers. Yang Ming was full of resentment after being captured and asked angrily, "Village Chief, now that we’ve been captured, shouldn’t you tell us what happened? Why are we being arrested?"
"Hmph, don’t you know what you’ve done?" the Village Chief replied with equal resentment.
"We have nothing to hide. Please explain clearly, Village Chief," Xiaoxiao said, following Yang Ming.
Seeing the unconvinced look in Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming’s eyes, the Village Chief became very angry and said furiously, "Fine, I’ll let you know why."
The Village Chief then called over the villagers, "Show them."
A number of villagers rolled up their sleeves, and Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming looked over, frowning. What was going on? The villagers’ arms were covered with dense, red bumps.
"See? It’s not just on the arms, it’s all over the body."
"..." They saw it, but what did this have to do with them? Surely they weren’t being accused of this, were they? That would be absurd.
The Village Chief continued, "After you came into the village yesterday, the villagers started to develop these all over their bodies, itching terribly. It must be your doing."
"It wasn’t us. We did nothing," Yang Ming immediately denied.
"These things appeared after you entered the village. If not you, then who? Village Chief, lock them up and report it to the government office," a villager suggested.
"Yes, report it to the government office and hand them over."
"..."
"..."
Seeing the villagers behaving madly and wanting to turn them over to the government, Little Shitou rushed over, spreading his arms and standing in front of Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming, "Don’t arrest my uncle and auntie; they are good people."
As Little Shitou spoke up, the villagers’ attention turned back to him and his mother. "You’re the jinx. Village Chief, drive them and their family out of the village. If they hadn’t sheltered that family, none of this would have happened."
"Yes, drive them out of the village."
"Don’t let them return."
"..."
"..."
Hearing these words, Xiaoxiao was infuriated by the ignorance of these people. The simultaneous symptoms in the villagers suggested an infectious disease. Instead of seeing a doctor promptly, what good was it to gather and capture them? Did they want everyone to become infected?
The more she listened, the more annoyed she became, so she shouted loudly, "Be quiet, everyone listen to me."
