Believe It or Not, It's None of My Business

"This is the last hiding place for us hermits. We must not reveal it to outsiders." The tall old man looked fierce and glared at Xia Tian and the others. He then scolded the little Taoist nun Nian Xin, "Nian Xin, tell me quickly, who are they and why did you bring them in!"

The little nun looked bewildered, not knowing why Grandpa Gao, who always had a kind face, suddenly changed his expression. She hurriedly looked at her mother.

When the woman in coarse cloth heard what the tall old man said, her expression changed: "Uncle Gao, Nian Xin definitely didn't do it on purpose. She must have brought people here with my master's permission. There must be a reason for this."

"No matter what the reason is, bringing outsiders in is a violation of the village's ban!" The tall old man snorted coldly, pointing at the woman in coarse cloth and said, "Your family has violated the ban more than once or twice, and you will definitely not be forgiven this time."

Then, the tall old man turned around and shouted to the people following him: "Go, ring the bell and gather everyone in the village. We must get rid of this hidden danger today, otherwise how can we survive here!"

"Uncle Gao, please wait for my husband to come back before discussing this." The woman in coarse cloth obviously had no idea and could only beg, "He's still down there..."

"Shut up!" The tall old man shouted angrily, interrupting the woman in coarse cloth: "Li Xiuqing, are you going to reveal the secrets of our village? That's a capital crime!"

The woman in coarse cloth was so scared that she had to cover her mouth, and the panic on her face became more and more intense.

Soon, more people came out of the village. They were all quite old, with pale faces and all kinds of crude weapons in their hands. They surrounded Xia Tian and his companions and rushed towards a wide platform in the village.

"Brother-in-law, why do the people here look a little abnormal?" Shi Chun frowned, feeling that the atmosphere in the village was very strange, as if there was a thin layer of gunpowder smell. Any slightly wrong action or words would ignite the inexplicable anger of a group of people.

Xia Tian replied lazily: "A group of abnormal people who are already abnormal are forced to stay in such an abnormal place for such a long time. Anyone would become a pervert."

"Oh." Shi Chun thought so too.

Ning Ruirui felt that things might not be that simple, but she didn't express any opinion. She decided to take it one step at a time. Anyway, these people didn't pose any life threat to them.

Soon, Xia Tian and the other three, as well as the little Taoist nun Nian Xin and her daughter, all arrived at the wide area.

The tall old man turned around and went up to the high platform, looking down at the villagers who were gradually approaching from all directions and crawling out from the ground.

Shi Chun glanced at all the villagers who had gathered and asked in surprise, "Didn't they say there were 1,000 or 2,000 people? Why do they only look like a few hundred?"

"More than 20 years ago, there were indeed more than 2,000 people here, but later on some left, some died, some escaped..." The woman in coarse cloth heard Shi Chun's words and answered subconsciously: "Now, there are less than 500 people left, of course some of the young and strong have gone to work."

Xia Tian said with a smile: "It's good to have fewer people. It saves me a lot of trouble."

"What do you mean?" The woman in coarse cloth was also very sensitive. When she heard Xia Tian's words, she couldn't help but show a look of fear.

The little Taoist nun Nianxin touched the face of the woman in coarse cloth and whispered, "Mom, don't be afraid. Uncle Xia is a good man. Master asked him to come and treat you."

"I see. Since it was the master who asked you to come, it must be a good thing." The woman in coarse cloth still trusted Nianxin, or rather, she trusted her master, Qiu Jianji, the former abbot of Anxin Temple.

"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me!" The tall old man suddenly opened his voice and shouted to the people below the stage, "I rang the bell today to call everyone here because there is a very important matter to be dealt with. This matter concerns the life and death of all of us hermits, and also concerns the future of our hermitage village, so please be patient and listen to my orders."

After this shout, the crowd actually quieted down for a while, but soon they started shouting again.

"Village Chief Gao, if you have anything to say, please say it quickly. Don't delay my meditation!"

"That's right. I still have to go downstairs to do some work. I don't have much time left."

"I saw the little girl Nian Xin from the Sun family. Is it time to distribute the medicine?"

"Why are there outsiders here? Did something happen?"

"Quiet!" The tall old man shouted again, stopping the noise, and then said, "I can tell you that something big has happened, and you should be mentally prepared. But the truth of the matter, after we find out, everyone will naturally make a judgment. Now, please, Nianxin, tell us what happened again."

"What, what's the matter?" The little Taoist nun Nianxin was frightened and confused, so she asked back without knowing the reason.

The tall old man glared at him and said in a cold voice: "It's about why you brought outsiders back to the village."

"Oh, that's it, it was Grandmaster who asked me to bring Uncle Xia and the others here." The little Taoist Nun Nianxin understood and immediately laughed: "The bad master is dead, Grandmaster said that everyone doesn't have to suffer here anymore, and can go out and live freely."

"What? Mo Shouxuan is dead?"

"It's impossible. How could he die? How could he die?"

"Seven days from now, it will be the night of the full moon, and then we will all die."

“…”

As soon as the little Taoist nun Nianxin finished speaking, the villagers became furious and were on the verge of collapse.

"Everyone, don't panic." The tall old man shouted loudly to stop everyone again, and then said slowly: "I said before that the truth of this matter needs to be verified. I even suspect that Nian Xin was bewitched by outsiders and deliberately came to attack us. Otherwise, how could she bring outsiders back to the village, and how could she say such words. I think the culprit of everything is these outsiders."

Little Taoist Nun Nianxin didn't expect that her few words would make hundreds of villagers collapse. In the blink of an eye, they were excited again as if they had been injected with chicken blood. For a moment, she fell into confusion again. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at her mother and asked in a low voice: "Mom, what's wrong with them? They don't seem happy at all. Did I say something wrong?"

"Nianxin, you didn't say anything wrong, and you didn't do anything wrong." Shi Chun couldn't help but complain: "It's these idiots who have problems with their brains. They only listen to half of what people say, and they don't have much ability to understand."

"Little girl, what did you say?" The tall old man had sharp ears. After hearing what Shi Chun said, he could not help but shout angrily: "Remember, this is not the place for you to act wildly."

Shi Chun curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Then I will act wild, what can you do to me. Are you all idiots? Nian Xin hasn't finished speaking yet, why are you so excited!"

"Okay, then I'll let her finish her words." The tall old man snorted coldly, and then looked at the little Taoist nun Nian Xin: "If you have anything else to say, just say it. I am definitely not the kind of person who doesn't listen to reason. As long as what you say makes sense and you are not bewitched by others, then you can say whatever you want."

The little Taoist nun Nianxin was so frightened by him that she didn't know what to say.

"If you don't tell me, I will ask you." The tall old man still stared at Nian Xin and asked slowly, "You just said that Mo Shouxuan is dead, right?"

"Yes." The little nun nodded. "The bad master is dead, and the great master has returned to normal. It was the great master who asked me to..."

"Okay, answer whatever I ask." The tall old man stopped Nian Xin from saying anything else and asked, "Who killed Mo Shouxuan? Was it these outsiders?"

The little Taoist nun Nianxin looked at Xia Tian and the others, then nodded: "They were the ones who killed the bad master, but that is..."

"I've told you, just answer whatever I ask and don't talk too much." The tall old man shouted harshly.

The little Taoist nun Nianxin was still a child after all. After being frightened by this man several times, she finally couldn't hold it anymore and started crying with her mouth pouted.

"I say, old man, you are really good at it. You only know how to scare little girls." Shi Chun felt sorry for the little Taoist nun Nian Xin, and couldn't help but said to the tall old man: "Are you in the same group with that Mo Shouxuan? He is dead, why are you so excited!"

"Bullshit! We hermits have been harmed by the Mo family and their son. We have an irreconcilable feud with them!" The tall old man cursed, "But our lives depend on the secret pills of the Mo family. If you kill him, you are taking our lives!"

"So you deserve it for all the years of suffering. You can't even understand what people say." Ning Ruirui couldn't help it anymore and said coldly, "You didn't even ask why Nian Xin brought us here, and you didn't even think about why Taoist Qiu has recovered, and why Nian Xin has also recovered. Did you stay underground for so long that your brain has completely degenerated?"

After hearing this, the gathered villagers really started to think about this question, and asked one after another: "Then why did Master Qiu let Nianxin bring you in?"

"Of course I'm here to treat you idiots." Xia Tian curled his lips and said impatiently, "Are you here for sightseeing?"

"Cure?" The tall old man was stunned for a moment, then he raised his head and laughed, "How shameless of you to say that, little friend, who do you think you are! Even the demon doctor Mo Wenyao can't cure our madness, and can only use secret pills to help us delay the pain. Although they also took the opportunity to control us, the medicine is effective after all. Who do you think you are, and you dare to say that you can cure our disease?"

"I am the best doctor in the world!" Xia Tian said nonchalantly, "Just because other idiots can't cure it doesn't mean I can't, because there is no disease in the world that I can't cure."

"Why should I believe you!" The tall old man sneered at Xia Tian's words.

Xia Tian lazily replied, "Whether you believe it or not is none of my business. Anyway, I was entrusted by that old man Qiu to come here to treat the disease. If you are willing to treat me, I will treat you. If you are not willing to treat me, forget it. It's that simple!"
