Chapter 961: Clearly a Savior
The next moment, the woman's pupils widened, and a look of fear appeared in her eyes. She pointed at Jiang Fenghua's eyebrows and shouted in fear, "Disaster star."
Jiang Fenghua's eyes flashed coldly, and she said coldly, "What did you say?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the people around her also surrounded her, pointing at Jiang Fenghua and saying, "It's the same mark as what that person said. She is the cause of this natural disaster. Capture her and offer her as a sacrifice to the gods. Then God will not bring disaster again, and our family will be saved."
"The evil star has harmed us, and the gods are angry." Everyone followed the crowd and blamed the disaster on the evil star.
Immediately afterwards, voices such as "Catch her and sacrifice to the gods" were heard again.
Aoxue and Hongxiu were originally helping to treat the people. When they saw them suddenly surrounding the Queen, they put down the injured and quickly ran to the Queen. Aoxue drew the sword at her waist, blocked Jiang Fenghua and said coldly, "Stand back."
Jiang Fenghua looked up and saw Xiao Shang looking at her with a gloating expression. She instantly understood that Xiao Shang was deliberately making trouble.
Xiao Shang now wants to see how Jiang Fenghua's meddling will end up.
As long as she was forced to leave, she would stop meddling in other people's affairs and rush to the ghost realm.
Xiao Shang was still complacent and thought he was smart.
Jiang Fenghua asked Aoxue to leave before he said to the people, "If you want to capture me and use me to offer sacrifices to the gods to ward off disasters, you have to ask my guards if they agree."
She stood there with a stern look of dignity, not taking a single step back. Her guards stood on both sides, each of them looking at the people who were about to cause trouble with mighty and domineering eyes.
The people were frightened and retreated one after another. In just a moment, all the people who gathered around were so frightened that they couldn't say a word. They were shocked by the woman in front of them.
Jiang Fenghua knew that these people were causing trouble only because they were instigated by Xiao Shang.
Then she said in a deep voice, "It seems that none of you need our help. Since you believe that the gods can help you, just wait for them to come! We'll take our leave now."
She didn't explain that she was not a disaster star. She turned around and started packing up to leave.
Her attitude was very clear. She could rescue them because they were the people of the Great Zhou. She could also be cold-hearted and avoid them and leave directly. There were still many people who needed help in the face of the disaster, and she didn't need to stay and suffer humiliation.
The people did not dare to step forward to accuse or curse, let alone stop it. They watched helplessly as the people who had tried their best to help them were about to abandon them. Everyone was panicked.
Some people began to blame the person who had just taken the lead in calling the other person a disaster star, "He is obviously a kind person, your conscience has been eaten by dogs, who has come to help us for so many days, only this girl brought people to give us food and drink, and treated our injuries, and now you have offended him, and you have done a good deed."
The residents of Meizi Village began to blame the refugees from the neighboring Xingzi Village. "Where did you hear that someone was helping us at the Earth God Temple? Why did you come here and ask them to treat you? What's your intention in spreading these rumors?"
The two villages are close to each other and both suffered from the disaster. The people from the two villages married each other and knew each other.
The people of Xingzi Village then said, "We didn't spread it. We also heard the refugees say that the disaster was caused by someone with blood on their brow who angered the gods. They said it was a girl with a special mark. They said that if they captured this person and offered sacrifices to the gods, the disaster would be averted. We were worried too."
The people in Meizi Village asked, "Who are these people spreading this? Where is the person? Do you remember what he looks like?"
Someone said, "A group of men who look like beggars."
Someone else added, "I remember now. They didn't look like ordinary people. They were very ugly, indeed like beggars, with crooked faces. The man's voice suggested he wasn't very old, but he was hunched over."
"A group of men came here specifically to tell you that the star of disaster is in the land temple of our Meizi Village. That's weird!"
Everyone will understand after hearing these words. Someone is deliberately spreading rumors, and their purpose is self-evident.
They offended others.
The people of Meizi Village said, "You are really as stupid as pigs. You are the ones who offended the people, so you should go and ask for their forgiveness."
Hu Zi's grandmother took the initiative to stand up, holding her grandson who was in much better spirits. "My Hu Zi was saved by this girl. I don't believe in any evil spirits. I only know that she is the Bodhisattva Guanyin who saves people from suffering."
The villagers in Meizi Village who were rescued echoed, "Yes, she is the fairy sent by Guanyin Bodhisattva to save us. You have all lost your conscience. You actually call her a disaster star. I think she is a fairy goddess."
They all benefited, yet they still called others disaster stars. This is totally unacceptable!
Someone suggested, "Grandma Huzi, please go and ask the girls to help us again. My forehead is still bleeding. Just say we were wrong and apologize to them."
Hu Zi's grandmother deliberately said, "I don't have the nerve to do that. They don't have to be so shameless to help us. They are just passers-by in our Meizi Village. I am already very grateful that they saved my Hu Zi. Just let them go. If they stay, you will capture them and sacrifice them to the gods. I won't do such a wicked thing."
Everyone felt embarrassed after hearing this. The girl helped them without asking for any reward and even without fear of getting dirty. She even shared the food in the car with them. How could she be a disaster star? She was clearly a savior.
Seeing that the carriage was about to leave, everyone panicked and no one stepped forward to stop them.
At this time, Hu Zi, who was only three years old, walked to the front of the carriage with his short legs. He stared at the driver with his big round eyes and shouted, "Save my mother."
His hand pointed in the direction of Meizi Village. His little face was dirty like a smart kitten, his eyes were particularly bright, and he didn't cry or make a fuss.
The driver pulled the reins tight, fearing that the horse would lose control and trample the child.
Jiang Fenghua had just gotten into the carriage and sat down. Only after she got in did she feel relaxed. At this moment, she saw Hu Zi running to the front of the carriage fearlessly. He only said one sentence, "Save mother," and her heart softened.
The child is her weakness and also her concern.
Zhang Yumo and Qin Yunyan were originally helping the victims. They were also in a very miserable state. When they received the order to get on the bus, they were ecstatic because they could finally leave this hellhole.
Now that they saw Jiang Fenghua didn't give the order to leave, they panicked. Would Jiang Fenghua pretend to be a good person again?
Zhang Yumo said, "I think what Prince Xiao said is right. If we can really find the secret technique of Yinchuan Kingdom, we can truly help them."
Jiang Fenghua glanced at her and said, "You have children too, right?"
Zhang Yumo was stunned. When she thought of Xiaochu’s cute little face and her elf-like eyes, a warm feeling flowed through her heart.
She didn't know why she had become so cold-hearted. She suddenly said, "Xiaochu is also a member of the Jiang family. She has the Jiang family's protection."
This means that Queen Jiang will never stop protecting Jiang Ruchu.
Jiang Fenghua felt like they were talking at cross purposes, and she became even more certain that Zhang Yumo was no longer the woman who only had Jiang Jinyan in her heart.
She said in a deep voice, "Get out of the car and continue to treat the victims. If sister-in-law saves more victims, she is also helping brother with disaster relief."
For some reason, Zhang Yumo didn't dare to refute Jiang Fenghua. She was afraid of her in her heart. The timid Jiang Fenghua in her memory did not exist. What she saw was the strong and arrogant Queen Jiang.
Qin Yunyan also had to get off the car. She was also tired and angry.
Jiang Fenghua sat safely in the carriage, and saw Xiao Shang's stunned look out of the corner of his eye.
Xiao Shang didn't expect that Jiang Fenghua would be treated as a savior without any explanation.
At this time, the head of Xingzi Village came over and said politely, "Young lady, you are truly kind-hearted. We will never believe rumors again. You must have offended someone. You must be careful. We think someone wants to harm you."
Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "It's true that there are villains gossiping behind our backs. The village chief is a sensible person. He must lead the people out of their predicament and not just follow the crowd. The emperor always cares about the people."
The village chief was stunned. He only felt that the girl in front of him had an extraordinary temperament, and the guards were obviously well-trained masters.
He thought to himself that her identity must be extraordinary.
