Mortals ask the immortals

The middle-aged man's eyes were red with anger, but he had not completely lost his mind. He heard something wrong in Xiao Fei's words.

"What about you! How come you are okay?"

"I...!"

Xiao Fei stuttered for a long time, but couldn't say anything. In the end, he could only lower his head with a guilty conscience and kept silent.

The middle-aged man felt that there must be something wrong and asked Xiao Fei harshly.

"Did you harm Xiao Liu and then make up some monsters!"

Xiao Fei was frightened by the middle-aged man's voice. He buried his head even lower, clenched his hands, and didn't notice that his nails were bleeding from his palms.

"Speak!" The middle-aged man shook Xiao Fei hard and roared heartbreakingly.

"No!!! I didn't!!!"

The monster was going to eat me, but I was possessed by the devil and pushed Xiao Liu to the monster, so I ran back! It was me! It was me who harmed Xiao Liu!"

Xiao Fei finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore, and almost shouted out the truth, and the whole person was about to collapse!

Xiao Liuzi is his best friend. They grew up together and are almost like brothers.

But at the critical moment of life and death, he pushed Xiao Liuzi to the monster in order to save his life!

"You...!" The middle-aged man was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while. Finally, the middle-aged man finally exploded and raised his hand to slap Xiao Fei hard!

"You beast!"

After the slap, Xiao Fei's face swelled up immediately, but Xiao Fei didn't feel any pain at all. He sat on the ground and cried loudly.

"Wuwuwu! Xiao Liuzi, I'm sorry for you. It's all my fault. Wuwuwu, I'm too scared to death! Wuwuwu, Uncle Qin, I'm sorry!"

The people around him also began to point fingers at Xiao Fei and blame him more.

"Xiao Fei, how could you do this? Are you worthy of the Qin family and the folks in Zhengdong?"

"That's right, the Qin family treated you so well, you ungrateful bastard!"

"People like you don't deserve to stay in our Zhengdong Town, get out of here!"

"Yes, get out of Zhengdong!"

...

Xiao Fei curled up on the ground, his head buried deeply between his legs, not daring to lift it up.

His parents died very early, but fortunately the folks in the town helped him a lot, basically every family would give him a meal. In Zhengdong Town, he grew up eating food from hundreds of families!

And the one who treated him the best was Xiao Liuzi's family. Uncle Qin not only gave him food, but also took him in and lived with Xiao Liuzi, treating him like his own son!

But he was obsessed for a while and harmed Xiao Liuzi. He regretted it so much at this moment! If he had listened to Xiao Liuzi at that time, how good it would have been to take a detour!

Duan Qing watched the whole process coldly from the side. Like the middle-aged man, he also heard the flaws in Xiao Fei's words at the first time, but he did not question it.

In addition, he felt that the monster Xiao Fei mentioned was mostly an exaggeration.

As far as he knew, there were almost no monsters in the inland of Xiaonanjie, let alone monsters. Most of what Xiao Fei encountered were fierce beasts in the mountains. He was young and had no experience, so he said it was a monster!

Besides, if it was really a monster or a monster, even if Xiao Fei asked Xiao Liuzi to take the blame, he might not be able to escape.

Although he knew the reason, Duan Qing didn't want to care about this trivial matter, so he turned around and prepared to leave.

"What's going on?"

At this time, a voice that Duan Qing felt a little familiar sounded outside the crowd.

Duan Qing looked sideways and found that it was the old fisherman!

At this time, he was holding a few lake fish in his right hand and a pot of turbid wine in his left hand, looking curiously at the crowd watching at the town entrance.

"Old Qin is back!"

The excited crowd fell silent and made way for Old Qin.

Old Qin walked into the crowd with the fish in his hand and asked the middle-aged man with a frown.

"What happened!"

The middle-aged man said sadly: "Xiao Liuzi... is gone!"

Old Qin was so shocked that the fish and the wine in his hands fell to the ground, and he asked tremblingly.

"What...what did you say!"

The middle-aged man immediately told his old father what happened, and there was no lack of disappointment and resentment towards Xiao Fei in his words.

After listening, Old Qin stamped his feet fiercely and scolded: "Then why are you still standing here? Hurry up and catch that beast back!"

"But...but that's a monster, Dad!" The middle-aged man stuttered.

"What monster? Where did the monster come from? I have lived in Zhengdong for decades and have never seen any monster!"

Old Qin said firmly, obviously thinking the same as Duan Qing, and also thought that Xiao Fei was exaggerating.

After that, he asked Xiaofei on the ground: "What does that thing look like?"

Xiaofei calmed down and recalled seriously for a while.

"The monster only showed half of its body outside. I only saw part of the monster's body, like... a big earthworm, thicker than a human!"

Xiaofei's description made Old Man Qin frown. Although Xiaofei's description was very detailed, he still believed his initial intuition that Xiaofei was exaggerating.

The earthworm-like monster he mentioned was probably just a larger python or something.

"Let's go into the mountains to find that thing! Xiaofei leads the way!"

Old Man Qin immediately made a decision, picked up the hatchet that Xiaofei had left on the ground, forcibly pulled Xiaofei up from the ground, and walked out of the town.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man ran back to his home next door, took out an iron hoe and followed him.

There were also some curious people among the onlookers, who followed Old Man Qin and left together.

Although Xiao Fei was extremely afraid of the monsters he had encountered before, but with so many people walking along the way, he did not dare to say no and led them out of the town.

Duan Qing stood at the entrance of the town, wanting to wait for Old Man Qin and others to leave before leaving.

As a result, Old Man Qin recognized him as soon as he took a few steps, and said with some surprise: "It's you!"

Duan Qing had no choice but to say hello with a smile.

"Meet the old man!"

Old Qin went to look for his grandson in a hurry, nodded to Duan Qing and ignored him.

But before taking two steps, old man Qin suddenly remembered something and hurriedly came back, pleading to Duan Qing: "If it's convenient, little friend, can you come with me?"

Although he felt that what Xiao Fei said was an exaggeration, even if it were a beast in the mountains, it would be too much for them, a group of mountain villagers, to deal with.

It happened that he met Duan Qing, a "swordsman". He was deeply impressed by Duan Qing's skills before. Just in case, he just called Duan Qing now so that he could take care of him when he went together!

Duan Qing frowned slightly unconsciously. He didn't expect that Old Man Qin would make such a request!

However, he did not refuse, but nodded and said, "According to what the old man said, I just want to see that monster!"

Having said that, in fact, he didn't want to care about this troublesome matter at all. Like Old Man Qin, he basically believed that everything was just an exaggeration by Xiao Fei, and there were no monsters or monsters at all!

The reason why he agreed was entirely for Old Man Qin's sake, as a way to repay the favor of the ferry!
