Chapter 304 The higher you stand, the harder you fall
Because of the fifth elder's words, the originally quiet square suddenly burst into excitement. "How could the second girl do this!"
"Yes, yes, the second girl actually didn't allow the fifth elder to save our child. How could she be so cruel!"
"I've heard before that Miss Shen Er is selfish and willful. I didn't believe it before. I always thought that everyone had misunderstood Miss Shen Er. But looking back now, those rumors are not unfair to her at all!"
"Same goes for Sect Leader Shen. Why should we remain in seclusion at this time? Shouldn't we stand up and protect us?"
"It's just that, we usually enjoy the filial piety of us people, but now the evil spirits have come out to hurt our wives and children, but the sect leader doesn't care about our life or death and only cares about his own cultivation. It's so selfish!"
"This is called a crooked upper beam and a crooked lower beam. Both father and daughter have the same virtue!"
…
The people gathered in front of Shen's house at this moment were either the parents whose children were abducted by evil spirits last night, or relatives whose children were abducted. Everyone was feeling very sad and helpless, and came to the door full of expectations for help, but in the end, You can imagine how you feel when you are told that asking for help is useless.
At first, there were just some people complaining quietly, but then I don’t know who took the lead and said, "Miss Shen Er is so cruel."
This head was like breaking a hole in a big vat. The fear, helplessness, sorrow and despair in the hearts of the people were all intensified into despair, and then surged out, which could not be blocked. Floating in the sky above the entire square were all The people cried out in anger.
Not to mention how majestic it was, but with hundreds of people attacking in unison, the scene was still very frightening.
Even the fifth elder was shocked.
He was indeed very happy to see Shen Mingyu and Shen Qiqi, father and daughter, lose their reputation and lose the support and trust of the people.
But maybe not in today's situation.
Because after all, the reason why the people are so angry is all because of what he said just now. If those old immortals in the clan know about it, they don't know how to scold him.
That damn boy named Xie was in the meeting hall just now. He just made a small stumbling block for Shen Qiqi, and the other party almost peeled off a layer of his skin.
If that kid knew that he was instigating this behind his back, the other party would have to strip him to pieces!
This is definitely not possible.
What he wants is to escape unscathed, not to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to himself, or even risk his life.
Thinking of this, the fifth elder quickly used his spiritual power again and loudly reassured everyone: "Don't get excited, don't get excited...just listen to what I have to say first!"
The people still believed in the Fifth Elder. After all, during this period, they all saw with their own eyes how the Fifth Elder bravely killed Xie Sui in order to protect them.
I heard that in order to kill the evil spirit, the fifth elder was scratched all over his face by the evil spirit, otherwise he would not have put on the mask.
Therefore, as soon as the fifth elder opened his mouth, some people immediately echoed him: "Stop shouting, listen to what the fifth elder has to say!"
"Yes, yes, yes, don't yell. Listen to what the fifth elder has to say. The fifth elder still loves and protects us common people!"
After shouting for several times, the angry people gradually closed their mouths and looked at the fifth elder longingly.
The way they stretched their necks, coupled with the panic on their faces, made them look indescribably sad.
However, the fifth elder would not have any sympathy for them.
He just wants to get himself out of this mess quickly, bury the fire as quickly as possible, and then walk away, waiting to reap the benefits.
Therefore, as soon as the people stopped, the fifth elder hurriedly said: "Everyone, you have misunderstood the second girl. The second girl just saw that I was seriously injured and couldn't bear to see me kill the enemy with my injuries again, so she ordered me to rest at home.
Day, but!"
The fifth elder suddenly raised his voice and said in a more serious tone: "But the second lady didn't say that she didn't care about the children's life or death! Just before I came out, the second lady had already set off to rescue the children who were kidnapped by the evil spirit last night!"
As soon as he said this, the square was silent for a moment, and then someone soon asked loudly: "Fifth Elder, is what you said true? Did the second girl really go to save the children?"
The Fifth Elder loudly replied: "It's true, it's true! The second girl said that she will definitely bring all your children back to you intact! And the second girl specifically told me before she left that I must
Let me convey this news to you first, so as not to worry you..."
This time, before the fifth elder could finish what he said, the people were excited again, but it was different from the excitement just now. Before, they were angry, but this time they were excited.
Crying with excitement.
The excitement of finally seeing hope.
Everyone was praising their second girl.
Some people even crawled and ran down the mountain, wanting to run back quickly to tell their elderly parents the good news. They were afraid that if they ran too slowly, they would be late and they would die sadly without their grandchildren.
.
The fifth elder looked at the people hugging each other and crying with joy. He sneered, and the face under the mask was indescribably ferocious and proud.
Praise it.
Like it.
As the old saying goes, the higher you stand, the harder you fall.
On the other side, Shen Qiqi had no idea about the conspiracy against her. She had already set up stakes and opened the net, and was quietly approaching her.
Although Yuzhou City has been frequently harassed by evil spirits recently, these harassments have been intercepted outside the city, and the residents in the city are relatively safe.
Who would have thought that the city, which the people regarded as a safety tower, would no longer be safe. In just one night, dozens of children were abducted by evil spirits!
This bad news was like a bolt from the blue that struck all the streets and alleys in Yuzhou City, and also stunned the people in Yuzhou City.
The sun is already shining high now, and usually at this time, the streets in Yuzhou City would already be bustling with activity.
However, now the doors and windows of every household are closed, and shops of all sizes on both sides of the street have put up "Closed" signs.
Even the villagers who had taken refuge in the city from outside the city were now hiding in the houses provided by the kind-hearted shops.
The whole city was quiet.
If you walk into the city without knowing it, you may mistakenly think that it is an empty city without people.
Shen Qiqi originally wanted to find someone to ask if any nearby family had suffered a disaster last night, so she could go and conduct an on-site investigation to see if she could find any clues left by the evil spirits.
As a result, she and Xie Beiming walked most of the street and saw only one dog, not to mention people.
Occasionally, two or three men walking together hurried past, their faces full of panic and uneasiness, and even their breaths were filled with panic and uneasiness. Let alone leading them, they did not dare to stop.
, swooped past the side, running even faster than a rabbit.
This won't work.
Shen Qiqi frowned and looked around the deserted streets, wondering whether to forcibly arrest a commoner for questioning.
At this moment, a shrill scream suddenly exploded.
Then I heard the voice crying again in a high-pitched voice: "Help! Someone come quickly! Help -!!!"
