Chapter 19: Framing and Scapegoating

  When the five-step snake was killed by a little kid like me, all the villagers were stunned. However, the most shocked person was my mother. She went crazy and immediately ran over to hug me in her arms, shielding me from the exterminator who was about to take action against me.

  Although I have already smashed that five-step snake to death, the villagers seem to still be unaware of it, and they are still very afraid of that exterminating witch.

  In my opinion, the five-step snake released by Mie Men Po didn't have any eerie aura at all. At most, it was just a snake that had been tamed by her, and the rest were no different from those on the mountain. However, the villagers obviously wouldn't think this way. In their eyes, I, Lu Xiao Fei, was able to smash that five-step snake to death because I was Mie Men Po's nemesis.

  But what made me feel a little comforted was that after I killed the five-step snake, apart from my mother, Third Uncle also came to my side, and there were also Zhang Shu, Li Shu, Chen Shu and others, with more than ten people surrounding me. I knew they were here to protect me.

  I saw that I had killed her five-step snake, and the exterminator just glared at me fiercely. When she saw the villagers running over to protect me, the exterminator didn't do anything to me for the time being.

  Actually, at this time in my mother's heart, the more that exterminating woman didn't do anything to me, the more it made people feel afraid. It wasn't just my mother, the villagers present also knew that the exterminating woman was someone who would definitely seek revenge. I killed her five-step snake, and she will absolutely settle this account.

  Now, Mie Men Po is not in a obvious place to take revenge on me, it's clear that she wants to make a sneak attack on me, Lu Xiao Fei. Everyone knows that an open spear is easy to dodge, but a hidden arrow is hard to defend against. Moreover, with someone as sinister as Mie Men Po making the sneak attack, it's even more impossible to guard against. Therefore, not only my mom, but also the uncles and aunts surrounding me, all have worried expressions on their faces.

  But in my opinion, although the exterminator made herself look very terrifying, it was all just a facade. I can be so sure of this because at that time, I was still just a little kid. In this world, the bravest people are often the little kids. As for the reason, it's very simple: because little kids don't know anything. Only ignorant people can be fearless.

  At that time, I, a young kid, dared to confront the exterminator because my ignorance gave me fearless courage. However, until now, I still can't say clearly whether my ignorance at that time saved me or harmed me.

  To be honest, if I hadn't provoked the exterminator myself, my life might not have encountered so many troubles and wouldn't have had so many terrifying moments.

  As for what happened later, let's talk about it later. For now, let's go back to Mie Men Po.

  The old woman didn't move me, she just pointed at Chen's widow with her cane and said to Chen's widow: "Go and untie the rope that binds Tianzhen."

  That widow Chen has always had a timid heart. Now that the exterminator's five-step snake is dead, it's hard to guarantee she doesn't have other deadly things at home.

  Chen widow was very clear, even if she didn't go to untie the rope, Mie Menpo would let others do it. Anyway, in the end, Li Tianzhen's rope would be untied. If Chen widow disobeyed Mie Menpo's order now, Mie Menpo might take both new and old accounts together with Chen widow, then Chen widow would not be able to eat or walk. Therefore, although Chen widow was a bit helpless, she had no choice but to go and help Li Tianzhen untie the rope obediently.

  After untying Li Tianzhen's rope, Chen widow slowly moved to the back of the crowd, looking like she was about to slip away.

  Just as Chen widow was about to slip away, Li Tianzhen, who had been dizzy with pain, suddenly woke up. Seeing her mother-in-law here, Li Tianzhen immediately gained confidence.

  "Chen widow, stop right there!" Li Tianzhen yelled at Chen widow who was about to slip away.

  As for what happened just now, Li Tianzhen remembered it clearly. If it weren't for Chen Widow and Liu Cripple's instigation, Li Tianzhen wouldn't have been bullied so badly.

  Now, that Liu cripple has been bitten by the five-step snake of the exterminated mother, and his life is almost over. Li Tianzhen temporarily has no interest in collecting him again. However, this Chen widow is still fine now, it can be seen that so far she hasn't eaten any bitter head. If not giving her some bitter head to eat, the evil air in Li Tianzhen's heart would never go down.

  Chen widow was a person who had always been timid. When Li Tianzhen shouted, and with the addition of Mie Men Po being there as well, she naturally didn't dare to slip away again.

  "Come here." Li Tianzhen pointed at Chen's widow and said.

  At this time, because the villagers had all been silenced, Chen widow was originally a widow and didn't have any close relatives in the village, so naturally no one would stand up to speak for her. Therefore, after Li Tianzhen finished speaking, Chen widow knew she had no other choice but to obediently walk over.

  "Tell the truth, was it you, this shameless hussy, who went to seduce Zhang San that dead lecher last night? As a result, when you two were doing it, didn't you get Zhang San killed?" Li Tianzhen pointed at Chen Widow and interrogated.

  After being questioned, Li Tianzhen probably felt that her lie was not convincing enough and had many loopholes, so she continued to add: "Last night, when I passed by Zhang San's house, I heard the sound of Chen Widow and Zhang San having an affair. As the wife of the village head, I have to take care of this kind of immoral behavior. So, I knocked on Zhang San's door. Who knew that as soon as Zhang San opened the door, I was hit with a club and then fainted."

  Li Tianzhen said while pretending to point at her own forehead. "Do you see it, everyone? Yesterday's blow hit me right here and it's still swollen!"

  Actually, the place Li Tianzhen pointed to didn't have any scars at all. Now, although everyone knows that Li Tianzhen is telling a lie, no one dares to expose her.

  At this moment, Liu Zhuang, who was in a coma, slowly opened his eyes. He probably heard what Li Tianzhen said earlier, so he weakly teased Li Tianzhen with a sentence.

  "Looks like you got kicked in the crotch!"

  As soon as Liu Daizi finished speaking, the villagers covered their mouths and burst out laughing secretly.

  Li Tianzhen had not expected that, she was originally going to take the opportunity to splash dirty water on Chen's widow, but Liu suddenly woke up and even said such a thing, which undoubtedly made her even more embarrassed.

  Li Tianzhen knew that she couldn't regain her face, so she took the attitude of getting herself dirty to make Chen Widow also get dirty water, wanting to tarnish Chen Widow's reputation.

  "You shameless hussy, Zhang San's lipstick mark is still on your chest from yesterday!" As she spoke, Li Tianzhen dragged Chen Widow over.

  At that moment, Li Tianzhen took advantage of the situation and pinched Chen's widow on the chest.

  Chen widow certainly knew what Li Tianzhen meant by pinching her, and even if she was timid, she wouldn't let Li Tianzhen splash dirty water on her.

  "Ouch!" Li Tianzhen pinched, and Chen widow shouted loudly. "Li Tianzhen, you seductress, why did you pinch my breast? Can the red mark from your pinch compare to the one on your chest?"

  Li Tianzhen originally thought that Chen widow was a soft persimmon, easy to pinch. She never thought that this desperate rabbit would also bite people, and this timid Chen widow would also resist.

  After Chen widow shouted, Li Tianzhen's plan was completely ruined. Now everyone in the scene knew that Li Tianzhen had pinched Chen widow, so even if they stripped off Chen widow's clothes and let everyone see the red mark on her chest, no one would believe it was Zhang San's doing anymore.

  It is said that if one doesn't care about losing face, they will be invincible. Now Li Tianzhen has been driven to the point of madness and no longer cares about saving her own dignity.

  All of a sudden, Li Tianzhen pointed at Chen's widow's nose and said: "Yesterday, you told me that Zhang San's thing was very big, and invited me to go with you to accompany Zhang San to sleep for a while. As a result, you bitch drained Zhang San dry, killed him, and then ran away. And I have to come and take the blame for you, are you still human?"
