Chapter 230 Phoenix Voice
Chapter 230 Phoenix Voice
"Bai Qianshan, you are a profiteer. You coveted our prosperous business and used all kinds of methods to drive us away. Now you want to slander us. You are really evil-minded. People like you will not die well! You will be punished!"
Bai Qianshan was pointed at and scolded by Zhang Jinlan.
He was not angry, but curled the corners of his mouth and sneered.
"If you are not guilty, you can show us the evidence to prove that your shop is not haunted. If you can't, you must have colluded with Shopkeeper Yu. Humph, we are all waiting for you."
Bai Qianshan is very smart.
How could he fight against so many people from the Jiang family alone?
So he threw the conflict to the onlookers, and then stood out as the leader, as if it was not him who had just argued with the Jiang family.
But they were like ordinary people watching the fun.
These words hit Jiang Fubao's heart.
She whispered to Phoenix, "Phoenix, call quickly, call for them to hear!"
The phoenix, which had already eaten watermelon today, gave special face and the next second, it opened its voice.
"Whoa whoa-"
"woo woo woo woo--"
Suddenly, a cry was heard in the alley.
Sometimes high and sometimes low.
Very penetrating.
Phoenix's voice was so penetrating that it even transcended the noisy crowd.
These people instantly quieted down and looked around for the source of the crying.
"Oh, whose child is crying? Why is he crying so hard that it scares me?"
"No, it's clearly a woman crying. Who is crying?"
"Look, it's not someone crying, it's that bird calling!"
A young man with keen hearing pointed at the phoenix on Jiang Fubao's arm and shouted.
Everyone's eyes were directed towards the child and the bird.
Jiang Fubao didn't call for a stop, so the phoenix continued to call.
The crying of the child and the crying of the woman alternated back and forth.
Everyone's hair stood on end because of crying.
It's still broad daylight, and it sounds so scary.
Not to mention at night.
"Oh my god, I've lived half my life and I still cried the first time I heard a bird cry. If it came to my backyard and cried late at night, I'd probably think there was a ghost in my backyard. No wonder Shopkeeper Yu was so scared. If it happened to me, I'd be scared to death too."
"It's so creepy. This bird is actually like a human. The crying sound is so real that people who don't know would think it's a child or a woman crying. It's scary just listening to it in broad daylight. Wouldn't it be even scarier at night?"
"No wonder Shopkeeper Yu was so scared that he went crazy. If it were me, I would have probably lost my life. It turns out that the rumors were all false. I will never believe in such rumors again. They spread like wildfire, and the more they spread, the more outrageous they become."
"I know this bird, it's called a mynah bird, and like a parrot, it can imitate human speech. I didn't expect this bird to imitate human speech so well. If I sell it, it will cost at least 100 taels of silver. Oh, if I get it, my family will become rich."
"What are you thinking about? It's worth more than a hundred taels. I remember that Shopkeeper Xu bought a parrot that could only say "I'm hungry". He spent two hundred taels on it. And this mynah bird can even imitate the sound of crying, not to mention talking. It can be sold for at least three hundred taels."
"..."
I want the rumors to be dispelled on their own.
Then you need to produce evidence.
It is clear.
The Phoenix is the proof.
People watching the excitement at the scene.
Almost everyone believed that there were no ghosts in the backyard of Jiang’s snack shop.
They even discussed the value of the Phoenix.
Bai Qianshan had no idea that the Jiang family could use this trick, and he still wanted to argue.
But Jiang Dahe and Jiang Eryong didn't give him any chance at all.
They both rolled up their sleeves.
Stand on his left and right and hold him down.
Zhang Jinlan came over.
She spoke loudly to the people around her.
"Everyone, please listen to me. I, Zhang, was originally just a farmer. We were born in a poor family and have no support here. When we rented the shop from the Bai family, we just wanted to make money, have a way out, and have enough food to feed our family. But after we rented the shop, the Bai family
He used all kinds of excuses to come to the shop to spy on how we cook, or to force us to leave. Well, we can't beat him, so we just hide. I didn't expect that even after hiding here, he still wanted to make things difficult for us and wanted to kill us all! How could an old woman like me beat him?
Tell me, what do you want me to do to let my family go? You can learn to sell food from us, we have never interfered, but why do you want to force us to death? Is there any law left in this world?"
As Zhang Jinlan spoke, she began to cry.
She has done farm work for most of her life.
The nails on both hands are not as clean as those of normal people.
There is a layer of yellow mud in the cracks of the nails, which cannot be washed clean.
The fingerprints on all ten fingers have been worn away and are covered with calluses.
Even in the hottest summer, it was so dry that it cracked.
Especially when she cries.
It's so pitiful that many people feel sad when they see it.
Without waiting for her to continue complaining.
Some kind-hearted people began to attack Bai Qianshan.
"You are such a vicious person. You robbed people of their livelihoods and even wanted to kill them. If it weren't for Shopkeeper Yu coming to thank us today, and if the starling bird hadn't testified, we would have thought that the Jiang's Snack Shop was haunted.
What kind of business will their family have in the future? You are no different from a bandit. You robbed others and wanted to kill them. Aren’t you afraid that you will go to hell after you die?”
A woman in a scarlet coat stretched out her slender fingers.
Pointing at Bai Qianshan and cursing.
"That's right, you have a dark heart. Look at the clothes you are wearing, the silk and satin are extremely expensive, your family must have a lot of money. And then look at what this lady is wearing, it's just ordinary coarse cloth clothes, you want to rob the money of poor people, are you a human being?
Why don't you rob the rich? Are you afraid? You are a coward who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. You are not worthy of being a human being."
Another lady squeezed out from the crowd and echoed the woman's words.
"Not only are you unworthy of being a human being, you are even worse than pigs and dogs. I will never go to Bai's Snack Shop to eat in the future. You don't know, just now I saw a long line at Jiang's Snack Shop, so I thought of trying the food at the new shop, but guess what happened?
The mung bean soup in his shop is actually hot! I can count the mung beans in it with one hand. How can he open a shop if he is so stingy? Damn it, when I was escaping from famine, the relief porridge distributed by the government was thicker than the mung bean soup in his shop!"
The man who had just been clamoring for a refund spat at Bai Qianshan after saying this.
"Hahaha, instead of spending money on this stuff, you might as well give the money to a beggar. At least the beggar will call you uncle out of gratitude, and you'll be happy just hearing that. But if you buy this stuff, believe it or not, people will scold you behind your back, saying you're stingy and only bought a cup of mung bean soup."
Some people laughed at the man who just spoke.
