Chapter 862: Chapter 864: Ignition
Hearing the man’s cries for help, Xiaoxiao’s eyebrows twitched repeatedly. Was this guy really asking for help? Or was he trying to flirt? And did he just call himself a pretty boy? Pretty boy, my ass!
Such words were enough to infuriate Yang Ming. His fists clenched tightly as he roared angrily at the man, "If you dare hit on my wife again, I’ll beat you to death."
If he wasn’t trying to avoid messing up his wife’s plan, he would have broken free and punched the guy long ago. No way he’d let him keep rambling on nonsense like this.
"Beauty, you have to save me, your husband wants to beat me up, and they want to burn me."
"Beauty, my life depends entirely on you."
"Beauty, how can you bear to see me getting beaten and burned?"
"..."
"..."
If Xiaoxiao had a needle at that moment, she really wouldn’t hesitate to sew the man’s mouth shut. Why was his mouth so damn annoying? Didn’t he know that trouble comes from the mouth? He just kept talking, deserving to be burned alive.
While the man was shouting for Xiaoxiao to save him, he had already been tied up on a pyre by the villagers, with firewood stacked beneath him, just waiting to be lit.
"Beauty, you can’t just watch me die."
"Beauty, they are about to burn me, save me."
"Beauty..."
"..."
"..."
Unable to bear it any longer, the villagers said, "Stuff his mouth."
Well, somehow they found a piece of cloth and stuffed the man’s mouth with it, finally bringing peace to the square.
Someone shouted, "Light the fire."
A person appeared with a torch, ready to set fire to the wood beneath the man. His eyes widened with fear, shaking his head, constantly looking at Xiaoxiao.
Although she didn’t like this guy who spoke so annoyingly, he was after all innocent, just like them, and she couldn’t just watch him be burned alive.
So she shouted at the person holding the torch, "Wait, don’t light the fire yet."
Then she shouted at the Village Chief, "Village Chief, I haven’t finished speaking. There’s still hope for everyone, don’t burn him yet."
Xiaoxiao’s previous words had thoroughly analyzed the Village Chief’s thoughts, so he was also curious to hear what other plans she might have. After all, he didn’t want his villagers to perish either.
So the Village Chief waved his hand, "Hold on, let’s hear what she has to say. If there’s no other method, it’ll still be time to burn them later."
The villagers listened to the Village Chief and put down the symbol of fire, allowing the man on the pyre to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Xiaoxiao also breathed a sigh of relief; delaying for a moment was better than nothing.
The Village Chief looked at Xiaoxiao and asked, "What else do you have to say?"
This might be the last chance to save herself, so Xiaoxiao needed to gather her thoughts before speaking. "Village Chief, the villagers’ symptoms are just an illness. The doctors outside aren’t willing to come, but that doesn’t mean there is no cure for the illness. There’s still hope for everyone to be healed, don’t give up on your lives."
"Easy for you to say, who wants to die? I don’t want to die, but no doctors will come."
"Exactly, we can’t just wait to die, so we have to burn you to get rid of the evil."
"..."
"..."
Xiaoxiao once again felt the suffocating atmosphere. Unable to bear it anymore, she shouted angrily, "Can’t you let me speak? I’ve told you, I have a solution, I have a solution. You all really seem to want to die, don’t you? Alright then, let everyone die, I won’t care about you anymore. You’re not even my relatives, so if you all die, so be it."
