“You’re just a n.o.body! Stay away from me, or I’ll teach you a lesson!”
The tea splashed all over Xu Chuchu’s body. Xu Chuchu hated people like this the most, so her face darkened. She immediately said, “Do whatever you want. You have a really bad temper. I’ve already spoken up for you, but you still don’t appreciate it. Then you’ll have to suffer the consequences.”
The servant girl also noticed that the matter was getting more and more intense, so she hurriedly pulled Chu Wanwan away.
Chu Wanwan wanted to go back, but she was held back by the servant girl.
As she pulled, she said, “Miss, don’t make a scene. If the village chief finds out, he’ll definitely be upset. Although he dotes on you, he can’t indulge you forever. You know that he cherishes these people the most. The village can’t do without them.”
Chu Wanwan shouted, “How can you be so rude? I just asked you to sit down and drink tea with me. Aren’t you being ungrateful right now? Are you going to let those people laugh at me?”
Seeing this, everyone could not help but laugh out loud.
“I thought this woman was exceptional. In the end, she’s still being insulted by a servant girl.”
“That servant girl really did a great job. This young miss should have been punished a long time ago. I’ve long disliked her.”
Then, they looked at Xu Chuchu and said, “It’s really hard on the lady boss. She opened a cafe, but she still got scolded by Chu Wanwan. People who don’t know better might think that this cafe was opened by Chu Wanwan’s family. This village doesn’t understand the importance of the cafe at all.”
Xu Chuchu smiled and said, “It’s okay, everyone. Thank you for standing up for me. I’m sorry for the interruption. You can continue drinking your tea. Everyone present can drink tea for free. Your silver will be returned as an apology for today.”
Xu Chuchu’s att.i.tude immediately won the cheers of the crowd.
They immediately sat down and started chatting again, completely forgetting the unpleasant scene just now.
Seeing Chu Wanwan leave, Xu Chuchu also heaved a sigh of relief. “Chu Wanwan is really difficult to deal with. Thank goodness, she has finally left.”
As she spoke, she used a spell to reveal the box.
“Now is the time to witness a miracle.”
A faint smile appeared on her lips.
After chasing Chu Wanwan away, everything finally went smoothly.
Jiang Ming focused on the box.
As long as he got the Yellow Gall Gra.s.s, he could leave the village.
However, at this moment, a shadow suddenly came from afar and s.n.a.t.c.hed the box.
The shadow was light and fast. Jiang Ming and the others did not even have time to react.
By the time they reacted, the shadow had already disappeared.
Xu Chuchu was dumbfounded. She looked at Jiang Ming and the others in a daze. “Did you see the person who s.n.a.t.c.hed the box?”
Looking at her empty hand, she was very puzzled.
How did they s.n.a.t.c.h it away so quickly? Moreover, she could not even see the thief’s figure, and it was so close.
Jiang Ming shook his head. Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe were also dumbfounded. They had not reacted yet, let alone the other people who were drinking tea.
The others were stunned.
They also could not figure out how someone could be even faster than lightning.
However, this was not the only thing that puzzled them. It was the problem with the box.
Jiang Ming suddenly felt like his head was about to explode!
He thought he could finally get the Yellow Gall Gra.s.s, but what happened?
It disappeared again so quickly!
He had to go back to the village again.
Xu Chuchu looked at Jiang Ming apologetically.
She had originally wanted to share the burden with Jiang Ming, but she did not expect to bring about a situation where his hopes were dashed.
If she could, she really wanted to get more Yellow Gall Gra.s.s, but she only had this stalk.
Since it had been taken away by someone else, there was no way to give it to Jiang Ming.
Sensing Xu Chuchu’s intentions, Jiang Ming shook his head and said to Xu Chuchu in his heart, “You’ve tried your best. This is also my fault. I didn’t protect the Yellow Gall Gra.s.s. If I had protected it, it wouldn’t be like this now. You don’t have to blame yourself.”
Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe seemed to have thought of something. They asked, “Jiu Zhu, could the thing in the box be Yellow Gall Gra.s.s? Looking at how disappointed you are. Only something like this can make you so disappointed.”
Jiang Ming smiled bitterly.
“Isn’t that so? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have thought of sending Chu Wanwan away.”
Yuan Hehe could not help but lower his voice. “Isn’t the Yellow Gall Gra.s.s only available in the village as well as in another village?”
“I don’t know either.” Jiang Ming was a little puzzled. Then, he looked at Xu Chuchu and said to her in his heart, “How did you get the Yellow Gall Gra.s.s? I heard that only people from this village and another village have it.
Xu Chuchu touched her head and said, “I used to be from this village. I had the guts to steal a few stalks of Yellow Gall Gra.s.s. I just put all the Yellow Gall Gra.s.s here. If I had known this would happen, I would have kept a few stalks with me.”
“That’s really surprising.” “Do you have any enemies here?” Jiang Ming was disappointed. “That figure is really fast. Those who don’t know better would think that this isn’t a human at all.”
“That’s definitely not a human,” Yuan Hehe quickly said. “Although I didn’t see their figure clearly, I could smell the scent of a beast on them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have run so fast.”
Sikong Wuyuan also began to ponder.
“That’s true. I saw that the figure wasn’t very big. If it was a human, with that speed, they would definitely make a lot of noise. However, it’s also possible that the beast was transformed from a human, right?”
Jiang Ming shook his head.
“That shouldn’t be possible. After a human becomes a beast, it’s impossible for them to be so agile. However, we can’t be sure. We have to find that beast or that person. We can’t let our prize escape.”
“Could it be that my pet, Qiqi, is playing games with me?”
Xu Chuchu suddenly thought of something. She looked into the distance and called out.
“Qiqi, where are you? Did you hear me? I want to tell you something.”
“Qiqi? What kind of pet is that?” Jiang Ming asked curiously.
Xu Chuchu scratched her head, and her eyes were filled with frustration. “It’s a little tiger. It likes to play and run around. It’s always mischievous. I’ll go look for it.”
Then, she turned to leave. Then, she looked at the maid and said, “All of you, treat Jiu Zhu and his companions well. If they are dissatisfied with anything, I will definitely punish you.”
