Shi Dayou hurriedly stood in front of the crowd and implored, “Everyone, please calm down! What Mr. Xu has said is not wrong ah, he has no obligation to help us all! We cannot coerce him into helping!”
Shi Dayou’s voice was loud, but it did not intimidate the people of Xiaoxi
Village.
Instead of heeding Shi Dayou’s words, they mocked him:
“Of course you’d say that since all the benefits went to the people of Stone
Village!”
“Exactly, why don’t you give us your rice seedlings from your fields, let’s see if you’d still say the same!”
“Shi Dayou, you can’t be so selfish, you can’t focus solely on Stone Village’s welfare while ignoring the life and death of others!”
“Exactly, you Shi’s are living the good life, but you don’t even look at us, look at the state my child is in due to hunger!”
Accusations came one after another against Shi Dayou, leaving him at a loss for words. But he firmly stood in front of Wei Ruo, blocking the villagers of Xiaoxi Village from getting close to him.
But the crowd was too large, and Shi Dayou felt powerless.
Seeing that the crowd was about to rush up to Wei Ruo, the villagers from Stone Village marched up in a mighty group.
They arrived by Wei Ruo’s side and shielded him in the middle of the crowd. Though the villagers of Stone Village that had just arrived didn’t know what had transpired, seeing the people of Xiaoxi Village surrounding Mr. Xu, then benefactor, they felt he was in danger and hurriedly came to his defense. For a moment, people from the two villages faced each other on opposite sides, shouting at each other, with some minor physical contact here and there. After a lot of commotion, the people of Xiaoxi Village, being outnumbered, faced a defeat and had to retreat, distancing themselves from the people of Stone Village and not daring to lay a hand on them anymore.
Despite their retreat, the villagers remained resentful and unwilling to leave thus without more words, they accused Shi Dayou and the villagers of Stone
Village:
“You people of Stone Village are too selfish, only caring about yourselves and not willing to lend a helping hand!”
“Exactly, you Stone Village people are outrageous! When people in our village starve to death, we’ll lay the bodies at your village’s entrance!”
“After all these years of good relations between Xiaoxi Village and your Stone Village, it’s shocking to see you just stand by and watch us die!”
Facing the accusations from the people of Xiaoxi Village, Shi Dayou, and the villagers of Stone Village didn’t know how to respond; they couldn’t start a brawl. Located close to each other, physical confrontation wouldn’t do them any good either.
Wei Ruo said to Xiumei, “Meimei, look out for the one who’s been shouting the loudest and bring him here!”
“Okay!” Xiumei nodded in agreement.
Xiumei surveilled the people from Xiaoxi Village, then targeted a large bulky man. A quick dash brought her up to the man, pulling him away from the crowd, she pinned him to the ground and cleverly applied pressure on the pressure points on his back. The man immediately weakened and began to groan in pain.
