Chapter 158 Marry into my home
Grandma Li brought Xiao Wei and a few others and hurried over here. Here, Song Yuerong, dressed in coarse cloth, was hiding in the crowd and shouting for a living sacrifice for Shen.
Shen Yitian heard bursts of shouting outside and quickly thought about how to deal with this situation.
"Ms. Shen, open the door, I want to talk to you." Mai Dong took a step forward and shouted loudly.
A villager behind him said, "What are you still talking about? How dare you disrespect and insult the Dragon King? Of course, we have to offer sacrifices to her to appease the Dragon King."
Mai Dong raised his hand and said, "Let me first ask Miss Shen what's going on. If it's really as you say, then we must capture her and offer her a sacrifice."
His serious expression actually made the villagers shut up.
"You are a servant of the Shen family, right? Please move aside and let me go in and have a few words with your young lady."
Maidong put his hands behind his back and said this to Ye Liehu with a very impressive demeanor.
After all, in his eyes, the servants of the Shen family were no different from the prisoners in the village.
But Hunter Ye had no intention of letting him in. He still stood at the door and blocked his way.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear me telling you to get out of the way?" Maidong got angry and shouted with his eyes wide open.
"No one can go in." Ye Liehu clenched his fist and placed it across his chest.
Mai Dong saw his posture and remembered that day when he took Shen Yitian flying up and down, so he didn't dare to move for a while.
"Come here, arrest this man first. I'll go in and ask Miss Shen what's going on." He waved his hand, preparing to let the villagers control this strong man who knew martial arts first.
The villagers originally came here to sacrifice Shen Yitian alive, but this man kept blocking the door. Of course, they didn't question Mai Dong's request that they detain the man.
Just when a few people surrounded and were about to fight with Ye Liehu, Shen Yitian opened the courtyard door from the inside.
Shengsheng was still whispering beside her, "Miss, isn't it dangerous to open the door like this?"
Mai Dong was extremely happy to see her open the door: "It's good that Miss Shen came out. It's not right for you to hide like this. I'd better confirm with you what's going on first."
He smiled kindly, but there was a cunning gleam in his eyes.
Ye Liehu was at the door. He turned around and looked at Shen Yitian who opened the door, frowning slightly.
"Why are you out? Didn't I tell you to go in first? This man is not trustworthy. Don't trust him."
Of course Shen Yitian knew that Mai Dong was not trustworthy. He was so disgusting that she would have to be crazy to believe him.
However, she still wanted to hear what Maidong had to say.
These villagers would never come to her house for no reason and blame her for not being able to catch any fish.
And actually, not many people knew that she bought lobsters from Uncle Xu.
When buying them, Uncle Xu told her that these lobsters were the Dragon King's shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and she must not let the villagers know that they were bought from him.
Uncle Xu wouldn't say anything nonsense, and she didn't tell anyone about it, so how did the rumor in the village spread that she ate lobster?
"You want to talk, right? Come in first." Shen Yitian looked at Mai Dong and made a gesture to invite him in.
That day, when she was about to eat lobster, Maidong came over and he must have seen it.
And that day, she bought Uncle Xu's fish and Maidong also knew about it.
Therefore, it was probably this so-called village chief who told the villagers, so she was blamed.
It's funny. First she let the villagers cause trouble for her, and then she pretended to be a good person and tried to mediate.
Does he think everyone else is a fool?
When Mai Dong heard Shen Yitian let him in, he was naturally very happy.
He made a gesture to the villagers to be quiet, and walked in with his head held high.
As soon as Shen Yitian closed the gate, he glared at her with a look of disappointment.
"Miss Shen, you're so bold! Eating the Dragon King's minions is fine, but how dare you curse him? Now the villagers want to sacrifice you to appease the Dragon King's wrath. What do you think we should do?"
The corners of Shen Yitian's mouth twitched, and she snorted coldly, almost inaudibly.
Mai Dong wasn't really asking her what to do. After a long chatter, he added, "I know you didn't mean it. After all, you're from outside, so I'm forgiven for not knowing our customs and taboos."
"Thank you very much, village chief, for helping me." Shen Yitian continued.
"Ah?" Mai Dong wanted to say something, but Shen Yitian interrupted him and he was a little slow to react.
Shen Yitian said, "Didn't the village chief mean to help me deal with this matter?"
Ophiopogon japonicus: .....
Why is this girl interrupting others?
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean." He laughed.
Then he changed the subject: "However, this matter is too big. The person you offended is the Dragon King, not the local tyrant."
Shen Yitian nodded, but thought to herself that if it was a local tyrant, she might be really scared.
But the Dragon King...
It’s not that she doesn’t believe in metaphysics, nor is it that she doesn’t believe in gods and dragon kings.
The reason was simply because the original book she was wearing did not involve any metaphysical matters, and she was also certain that the book did not contain any descriptions of gods or ghosts like the Dragon King.
In a godless world, the Dragon King is a fictional creature, so what is there to be afraid of him?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Mai Dong thought she was really scared, so he continued, "But I'm the village chief of Maoer Village. If I really want to protect you, I think these villagers will give me face."
Shen Yitian raised her eyebrows: "Then I would like to thank the village chief."
Shengsheng pursed her lips tightly and stared at the village chief, who looked at her young lady every time he spoke, very cautiously.
Mai Dong waved his hand. "Thank you, no need. This is a serious matter, and it won't be easy to settle. Besides, you're from another village, and an exiled prisoner. If I try to protect you by force, I'm afraid the villagers won't agree."
This man is indeed fickle. One moment he says he can protect the village, and the next moment the villagers don't agree.
"Then according to what the village chief said, what should you do to help me?" Shen Yitian clasped her hands in front of her chest, looked at the village chief, and asked with a smile.
When Maidong heard her ask this, he was overjoyed, but his face still looked embarrassed.
"I don't think Miss Shen meant to offend Lord Dragon. I want to help you, but you have to listen to me. Only then can I help you."
"You go ahead." Shen Yitian made another gesture of invitation.
"Well, my youngest son is eighteen years old and still unmarried. If you marry into my family and become our daughter-in-law, then I can legitimately guarantee you to the villagers.
Firstly, I am the village chief and have the right to communicate with the Dragon King. Secondly, you are my daughter-in-law, and the villagers dare not force you to be sacrificed alive.
