“You can see for yourselves,”
The villagers, upon hearing this, all leaned in to take a look.
Indeed, within the water bowl, a chopstick stood upright, identical to when Qi He claimed that there was a Water Ghost in the lake.
“That’s not all.”
Zhuang Qingning took out another two chopsticks and stood them in the water bowl together: “When water is present, the chopsticks will stick together. Three chopsticks are more stable.”
“Observe, this is just like two extremely smooth stones which stick together when a drop of water is added.”
Upon seeing the three stable standing chopsticks, the villagers’ faces were filled with sudden realization.
Some folks began to
They can do farming, set up stalls, and they can even fetch water and fish in the lake to make some extra earnings.
When the villagers thought about this, their hearts were filled with joy. They couldn’t help discussing what work they would begin with after returning home.
However, some people had not forgotten who had resolved this matter.
“Thank you, Master, it’s all thanks to you for dealing with those two villains, and patiently explaining everything. Only then did we understand…”
Someone knelt on the ground, thanking Ding Gaochang continuously: “From now on, we can finally live peacefully. We want to thank Master Ding, and thank Mr. Qingtian.”
“What are you all dawdling for? Hurry up and thank Mr. Qingtian. If it was not for Master Ding, we would still be foolishly giving money to those two!”
“Thankyou, Master Ding…”
The villagers all knelt down, their words of gratitude echoed all over.
Upon seeing this, Ding Gaochang quickly asked the bailiffs and constables to help everyone up: “Everyone, there’s no need to thank me. It’s my duty to punish evil, catch villains, and work for the welfare of the common people. I really can’t accept your gratitude.”
“In the future, you all just peacefully live your lives, then my mind and the County Magistrate’s will be at ease. If any of you want to say something, you might as well pay a visit to Daya and speak with her.”
Upon hearing these words, the villagers felt utterly ashamed.
Daya was almost drowned in the lake by the villain, Qi Shen, merely because she refused to accept his obscene proposal. As villagers in the same community, as people who are closely related, they should have protected and helped her, preventing her from being bullied. But what were they doing now…
They didn’t say a word, instead, they were relieved when someone could appease the Water Ghost and prevent it from causing troubles. When Daya cried and refused due to this incident, they even thought she was a little unreasonable and didn’t know the overall situation.
What kind of people are they? They truly are a disgrace.
Someone’s face turned the color of a pig liver as they abruptly stood up and walked silently into the village.
“Dongzi, where are you going?” someone called out.
“What else could I do? Of course, I am going to apologize to Daya. Yesterday, at Daya’s door, the person who said the harshest things was me.”
“When you put it that way, I should also go apologize to Daya. Yesterday, I also spoke badly of her…my mouth… why can’t I just keep it shut?”
“It’s not just your mouths, it’s your hearts! You only cared about your own lives and not Daya’s. Isn’t this selfishness? I truly am ashamed.”
