Chapter 62: The angry Jiezi

The man seemed very happy. I guess he was happy because he didn’t expect things to go so smoothly.

But at this moment, I had already made a note in my heart about this man. I think he is basically the type of person who is like “Lu Bu,” who is not very bright and likes to solve problems with violence.

If a person with a more careful mind, they would definitely not be happy about such a smooth situation, but would be more on guard.

If you look closely at the customs and traditions of the Miao and Xiangxi, you will definitely think so. The man probably really thought that his power had suppressed the village.

He was so happy that he couldn’t hide it, and his happy humming could be heard all along the quiet main street of the town. I had to put a label on him.

This is a small factor in all the things that are not going well, and after all, if I have a choice, I would rather deal with ten of these “brave generals” than one so-called “wise general.”

In addition, I also noticed a detail, that is, this person’s voice is very special. It seems effortless, but it can reach everyone’s ears. Even a casual humming of a tune can be heard by me at a certain distance. This should be his strong point?

While waiting, my mind was constantly filtering information. I didn’t think it was useless. The only thing I could rely on was every little detail and constant analysis to give myself a little advantage.

The tent, which had been quiet for more than ten minutes, suddenly became noisy. The woman in the white coat suddenly came out and said something to the subordinate guard standing next to her. Then the subordinate guard passed the news down, and the subordinates began to get busy. The crowd that was originally waiting in line finally began to move, and the first person had already entered the tent…

With the first person entering, my heart inexplicably became nervous. This feeling was strange, not dangerous, just inexplicably nervous.

I really wanted to know what was going on in the tent, but no matter how good my eyesight was, I couldn’t see through the tent. Opening the third eye could break through all the false ‘obstacles’ and see the essence directly, but in this situation, I didn’t dare to open the third eye at all. There were energy fluctuations, and if I opened the third eye, I would be no different from a live target in front of this group of people.

So, although I didn’t know why, I really wanted to know what was going on in the tent, but there was nothing I could do.

In theory, if we just wait, we will definitely be chosen to go in with the master. But can we do that? I guess when they select people in groups, the master and I might be recognized.

What should we do? I was already starting to feel a little anxious. There were only a thousand people in the town, and there were 50 people in each group, so there were only 20 groups at most. If I and Master were mixed in with the crowd, even if we were lucky enough to be the last group of people to be tested, it wouldn’t take long.

Chance? Where is the chance we need? I was at a loss. I glanced at my master, whose brow was also tightly furrowed. In such a situation with almost no way out, it was really difficult to think of a way out.

“Ah,” just as I was still anxious and confused, a scream came from the tent, which startled me and I immediately looked up. Then I saw two subordinates guarding the door go in and drag out a pale-faced man from the tent.

At the moment, he looked very bad, almost in a semi-conscious state, with his mouth tightly pursed, unable to say a word, and his body still trembling… He was then dragged by two subordinates and mercilessly thrown onto the street in the main street.

“After resting, go back and wait. If you don’t, you’ll be responsible for the consequences.” After throwing the man away, one of the subordinates said something like this coldly, and the two subordinates turned and left.

At the same time, the second person was pushed into the tent… One after another, people entered the tent, and the situation was more or less the same. Sixty percent of them would scream, eighty percent of them would not be able to walk, and only twenty percent of them could walk out on their own, but they were all pale, as if they had been scared out of their blood.

Soon, all 50 people had entered the tent, and without exception, they were all thrown out into the street… Then, the subordinates gathered another 50 people and brought them to the front of the tent.

Aren’t you supposed to pick some people? Are all these people unqualified? I frowned slightly… but at the same time, I was even more worried about my own situation and that of my master.

At this time, I always feel that time passes by so quickly that I don’t have time to think of a suitable solution.

I was like an ant on a hot pan, anxious and about to spin around. Unfortunately, even if I flew up to the sky in a hurry, there was no way, no way at all.

When we reached 150 people, Master’s frown relaxed and his expression became indifferent. I was slightly relieved, thinking that perhaps Master had a solution. After waiting so long, even if it was a little risky, I couldn’t help but quickly lower my head, pretending to be casual, and asked Master in a low voice, “Master, do you have a solution?”

“No.” The master replied in a low voice.

“Then…” I was a little anxious, and my voice couldn’t help but get a little louder. After I heard myself, I quickly adjusted my voice, but I didn’t dare to ask the question that followed.

“I just want to think that everything is up to the heavens, and that there is no way that the heavens will abandon us.” Master replied to me in a way that was even more mysterious than not answering at all.

I rolled my eyes. I knew this was the result. Why did I even ask?

The inspection in the tent did not go quickly. It was already almost noon when the first 150 people had finished being inspected.

The sun was already hot, but it became even more scorching as it approached noon. The crowd had thinned out a little since the inspection began, but the temperature had risen, making it even more uncomfortable.

In this town, people are thriving, and there are naturally young children. For this kind of temperature, adults can still bear it because they are descendants of people in the mountains and do not have to be delicate city people, but children can’t stand it after all, and more and more children are crying and being forcibly suppressed by their mothers.

Is it necessary to endure this? I felt a little sorry for them… At the same time, I discovered that although the inspection was not going smoothly, and although 150 people had already been checked, for some reason, I and my master were standing very close to each other. I calculated it and suddenly came to a result with a bad look on my face.

I originally thought that if we could delay the inspection until the evening, it would be more favorable. Judging from the speed of the inspection, it could be delayed until the evening or even the early morning of the next day.

Anyway, at least it would be advantageous to move at night… Actually, I was also concerned about whether the old man guarding the stone statue had gone down the mountain… I had a plan in mind to quickly break through at night and rush up the mountain. As long as the old man wasn’t there, no one would stop us.

Now it seems that this only feasible plan is about to be broken.

The more anxious I became, the more calm my master became. Time passed by minute by minute… Not long after, when the parents of the children on the street could no longer suppress their cries, and some of the children could no longer bear it, another group of people had been checked!

The environment was already hot and irritating, and at this time, the sound of children crying made people even more irritable.

I kept repeating the mantra of calmness to keep my mind calm, but at the same time, a question arose in my mind. There were already two hundred people, but no one had been selected yet. I was curious about what kind of person would be selected.

The subordinates continued to organize the next batch of people, but at this time, the modified SUV that had been quietly parked there suddenly emitted a powerful engine sound. Then, I saw the SUV rushing into the main street of the town at an alarming speed, with tires making a strong friction sound, as if it were charging headlong!

Then, with a screeching, the car came to a halt!

The car’s convertible top slowly opened, and since the sun was so hot, the people in the car could not possibly be basking in the sun, so they put up a tent… Of course, it was none of their business if the poor residents of the town suffered from heatstroke.

What is that man doing? I was also very thirsty after standing in the sun all morning. Watching this scene, I couldn’t help but lick my dry lips with my tongue, knowing that this might be an opportunity, but I actually felt a sense of compassion.

I didn’t want the man to go crazy and torture the residents of the town.

“I said, here, I will follow my own rules. Do you think I’m talking nonsense?” Sure enough, the man stood up again. This time, his voice was no longer calm, but rather a madman’s scream.

What had happened to make him so angry?
