Wang and An Nuannuan used their hands to pull off the green snake. The two of them cried out in pain, it was truly miserable.
Many villagers heard the screams of the two and rushed over unanimously. Seeing Wang Shi and An Nuannuan’s appearance, a group of people wanted to vomit one after another.
This is too scary!
The gruesome sight sent shivers down my spine and filled me with dread.
Compared to Wang and An Nuan’s embarrassment, An Xue Tang, who stood aside and watched with cold eyes, seemed particularly calm.
Everyone is completely clueless about what’s going on.
Several enthusiastic villagers couldn’t help but step forward to help Wang and An Nuannuan remove the green snakes from their faces, but An Xuetang coldly spoke out:
“Grandmother and my sister seem to have angered the spirits. This must be their punishment. I think we should all avoid upsetting this brow, in case we anger the spirits too and suffer the same fate.”
In this world, everyone believes in the stories of demons and ghosts.
As expected, after An Xue Tang said that, those villagers had the heart but not the courage to step forward and help.
This matter caused a big commotion. In no time, An Fugui and An Dahe, along with Cui’s family, hurried over. Liu shi, fearing that An Xue Tang would be beaten, also came rushing over.
Seeing Wang and An Nuan’s horrible state, the four people screamed in fright. Cui even wanted to go over and drive the green snake away from An Nuan, but she was afraid of being bitten.
“Mother, mother, save me, please save me!” An Nuan cried out loudly.
She and Wang were still pulling at these green snakes, there were a dozen or so in total. Every time they pulled one off, another would continue to climb onto their faces.
This scene is beyond anyone’s control.

Before An Xuetang could respond, Cui stormed over, enraged. “An Xuetang, you wretched woman! I’m going to kill you! What have you done to my daughter?!”
An Xuetang looked at the clown with a mocking expression, and she didn’t flinch as if waiting for Cui Shi to strike.
Mo Yunjing in the room knew she should be capable in martial arts. Although she hadn’t sensed any internal energy from her during these days together, there was no doubt that she had self-defense abilities.
But looking at An Xue Tang standing there motionless, his heart still inexplicably clenched. The stone in his hand twitched, as if it was about to fly out the next second.
However, An Xue Tang wasn’t someone to be bullied. As soon as Cui reached out to grab her, An Xue Tang reacted immediately.
I saw her raise her hand and instantly she clamped down on Mrs. Cui’s wrist bone, causing Mrs. Cui to scream in pain.
“You little wretch, let me go at once!!”
Afu Gui saw her attack Cui Shi and immediately pointed at An Xue Tang, roaring angrily.
He glared at An Xuetang, his eyes wide with fury, veins throbbing on his face.
An Xue Tang ignored him completely, pushing Cui Shi to the ground this moment.
At this time, the village head also came. Such a big thing happened in the village, he couldn’t not come.
Even the local magistrate, who was a bit more worldly-wise than the average person, gasped when he saw Wang and An Nuan like this.
These two faces… I’m afraid even the most precious herbs wouldn’t be able to cure them.
“When Mrs. Cui saw the headman walk in, she scrambled to his side and pleaded, ‘Headman! Headman, you must help us with our Warmth’s case. Warmth hasn’t married yet, and now her face is disfigured like this, how can we possibly find a husband for her!’ ”
Mrs. Cui cried and wailed, her cries so loud that the magistrate’s head ached. He let out a deep sigh and then looked at An Xue Tang, “Anjia’s eldest daughter, what exactly is going on?”
An Xuetang looked innocent, “Li Zheng, I really don’t know what happened.”
While Wang shi struggled with the green snake with her eyes closed, she didn’t forget to shift the blame onto An Xue Tang.
Everyone else couldn’t bear to look at Wang’s bloody and mangled face. He stared at An Xuetang, “An family eldest girl, is what your grandmother said true? Did you make the green snake bite your grandmother and sister?”
“Goodness gracious, Anjia Dayu is too vicious!”
“That’s right, it’s fine that Wang’s family is like this, but what about Anjia Er Ya’s face? How can she ever show her face to people after this?”
“Aiyana used to have a pretty good temper. I can’t believe she’s capable of something so cruel!”
“I don’t believe it either. I think the only one in the An family with a conscience is Anjia’s eldest daughter. She definitely wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“Could it be, just like Daya said, that Wang and Erya really angered the spirits and were punished?”
“I think this is very possible. This Wang family has probably done a lot of wrong things in the past, and they’ve probably messed with something they shouldn’t have.”
The villagers began to discuss amongst themselves, their voices growing louder and louder. The village headman frowned, “Quiet now, quiet! Let’s hear what Dayu has to say first.”
Instantly, all eyes turned to An Xue Tang.
An Xuetang didn’t have any pressure in her heart, she looked very calm on the surface. “Uncle Li Zheng, everyone watched me grow up, don’t they know what I’m capable of? If I really had the ability to make a green snake attack people, why would I wait until now?”
Li Zheng was deep in thought, indeed. If An Jia’s eldest daughter had this ability, she and her mother wouldn’t have had to endure such a difficult life at the An family.
“An Dahe gritted his teeth, “Even if it wasn’t you, it must have been your crippled husband!””
Thanks to Andy’s reminder, we all remembered this person.
Li Zheng looked around the courtyard but didn’t see An Xue Tang’s so-called husband. His eyes narrowed slightly, “An family eldest daughter, where is your husband?”
“I’m here,” Mo Yun Jing’s voice came from inside the house. His voice, whether real or intentional, sounded very weak.
Then, his figure appeared at the doorway. Sitting in his wheelchair, he looked so ‘fragile’, as if he would collapse with just a movement.
Everyone was confused for a moment, wondering if his condition really had something to do with Wang and An Nuannuan’s current state.
An Xuetang looked at everyone’s gaze and immediately spoke, “As you all can see, my husband is in this physical condition. He even has difficulty leaving the house. Do you really think he has the ability?”
Li Zheng pursed his lips, “Then how do you explain the incident with Wang Shi and An Nuan Nuan in your courtyard?”
“An Xuetang shook her head. “Chief, I really don’t know about this. But this morning my grandmother and grandfather came over too, and at that time our courtyard suddenly had many green snakes appear as well. At the time, the green snakes didn’t attack them. You can ask my grandfather.”
Li Zheng looked at An Fugui, “Is what Da Ya said true?”
Although An Fugui wouldn’t like to admit it, he had to face reality.
Seeing him nod, Li Zheng’s brow furrowed even tighter. “What business did you have coming here this morning? Why are Wang Shi and An Nuannuan here at this time? You know there are so many snakes here, yet you still came? What compels you to persist?”
From all these questions, An Xuetang wanted to applaud Li Zheng’s cleverness.
