Chapter 27

Xia Yunxuan, inside her space, could see everything outside clearly. Sure enough, after a short while, someone came sneaking to the outside of her room, their head pressed against the window.

Looking at the sneaky figure so clumsy, it must be Xia Dabao, that fool.

Xia Yunxuan saw in her space that the person took out a bamboo tube and blew in some smoke, confirming that there was someone inside before leaving.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, Xia Yunxuan saw Zhang the Butcher, looking like he was drunk, staggering towards where she was staying. He was acting quite convincingly, but could he fool her? This guy was clearly faking it.

As Zhang the Butcher approached, Xia Yunxuan saw Xia Yunrou’s sneaking behind him. Xia Yunxuan thought to herself, “She really is the darling of heaven, even heaven is helping her to pair up with this guy. Isn’t it great?”

When Zhang the Butcher was about to open Xia Yunxuan’s door, she flashed out of her space from behind, and with one chop of her hand, knocked Zhang the Butcher unconscious. She didn’t alert Xia Yunrou’s behind him. Xia Yunxuan tossed Zhang the Butcher aside, circled behind, and used the same method to knock Xia Yunrou’s unconscious.

Thankfully, she was strong, and could carry one person in each hand, throwing them onto the drying field where they usually dried rice. There was a small room there for people who collected grain, because in those days, people would steal grain.

Xia Yunxuan took out some medicine she had prepared from her space, fed them each a bit, clapped her hands, and left.

She came to Old Man Xia’s house, a place she was very familiar with. She gave them some sleeping medicine, and after they fell asleep, Xia Yunxuan went to find where Old lady Hezi hid her money.

Xia Yunxuan turned on her flashlight and looked. There was actually eight or nine hundred yuan. Adding the five hundred yuan dowry, Old lady Hezi had saved so much money. At the bottom of the box where she kept the money, Xia Yunxuan saw the jade pendant. She picked it up and looked at it. It was truly a good thing. Although it wasn’t worth much now, it would be worth at least hundreds of thousands in the future. Maybe it was related to her own past. She put it into her space.

Anyway, all of this was hers now. She wasn’t worried about taking this money. It was none of her business how this family would live.

She hadn’t forgotten how this family of ungrateful wolves had treated the original owner. Now it was time for them to pay some interest back.

Xia Yunxuan also took Old lady Hezi’s hidden cured meat, sausages, rice, flour, and eggs, things they were too stingy to eat, and put them all into her space. Even if she wouldn’t eat them, there were still a few wolves.

Xia Yunxuan looked around, and seeing there was nothing else of value, left with a cool swagger. She returned to the drying field, and sure enough, heard sounds that made one think of naughty things. She was mischievous, and found some firewood, poured some water on it, lit it, and saw smoke rising, clapped her hands, and left.

When Xia Yunxuan returned to her room, she pretended to sleep. After a while, she heard people shouting, “Fire! Fire! Come and help put out the fire!”

Xia Yunxuan wasn’t worried. She knew how much fire she had set. It was just a little bit, only a lot of smoke.

When the villagers came with buckets of water to put out the fire, they saw smoke rising from the drying field. By the time they got there, the firewood had already been burned out. After they put out the fire, they said, “Who is playing pranks? It’s the middle of the night, and they’re not sleeping. If I catch them, I’ll give them a good beating!”

Everyone was carrying buckets of water, about to leave, when they suddenly heard those sounds coming from the small room on the drying field. At first, they thought it was ghosts.

But they listened carefully, and realized that it was actually someone doing those things. They were furious. They were sleeping soundly, and were called out because of a fire, but it was actually someone having a wild time.

Of course, some of the gossipy old women were also there, like Mrs. Wangzi, Zhao Laopozi, Mrs. Gao, and Guan Laopozi.

With so many people around, they weren’t afraid, and holding their torches, they rushed into the room, saying, “We’ll see who is too restless to be doing those things here!”

When they raised their torches, they saw that the two people doing those things were actually Xia Yunrou’s and Zhang the Butcher. They were really going at it. These old women were embarrassed. They didn’t expect Xia Yunrou’s to be so wild.

Of course, there were more and more people outside now. Some of them were called by Xia Yunxuan. These people were confused. Didn’t they come to watch the fun with Xia Yunxuan, the little girl? Why was it Xia Yunrou’s now? These people were really playing around.

But it was none of their business. As long as they had something to watch, something to gossip about, they didn’t care who it was.

These old women were all in their sixties, and they didn’t know what shame was. They were even commenting on the two people’s bodies. Someone said, “I didn’t realize, Xia Yunrou’s’s face is ugly, but those two buns are pretty big.”

“And Zhang the Butcher’s thing, how come it’s so small? No wonder they say he beat his wives to death. He must be useless himself, and takes it out on his wives. Poor things, his previous wives.”

“You guys say Zhang the Butcher is useless, why is Xia Yunrou’s yelling so loud? What else could it be? She’s a slut. Isn’t this the time for her to yell?”

The Captain also came over and asked, “What’s going on with all of you? You’re supposed to be putting out the fire, but you’re all standing here watching the fun. Go back to sleep.”

Zhao Laopozi said, “Captain, you don’t understand. This is more exciting than sleeping. You should come and see. You’ll be on the front page of the village news tomorrow.”

When the Captain got closer, he also heard those sounds that made one blush and feel a little naughty. He shouted, “Pull those two apart! You old women, don’t you have any shame, standing here watching?”

“Captain, you don’t understand. We’ve been standing here for so long, and these two don’t have any shame, they’re still going at it. We’re not watching for nothing, it’s free, why wouldn’t we watch?”

The Captain had no choice. He saw that the villagers were carrying buckets, and there was still water in them. He didn’t care about the two people, and directly threw a bucket of water at them.

“Ah…”

The Captain shouted angrily, “Are you two awake now? If you’re not, I’ll give you another bucket, how about that?”

At this time, Xia Yunrou’s and Zhang the Butcher were also splashed awake by the bucket of water. Where were they? Why were so many people standing here? What was going on?

And why did they feel so cold? Xia Yunrou’s looked down and saw that she was naked, and Zhang the Butcher next to her was too. He suddenly moved, and felt pain in his lower body. Even if she was stupid, she knew that she and Zhang the Butcher had done those things.

Xia Yunrou’s shouted, “Who is it? Who is trying to harm me? Come out now, or I’ll report it to the police!”

Mrs. Gao said, “Xia girl, you have the nerve to say someone is harming you? Maybe you’re just not chaste.”
