After advising Xin Yan, Mr Xin turned to look at Aunty Li who has been sitting on their cranky chair all along, ever since she came in she hasn't said anything whatsoever, but one thing that Mr Xin knew was that she must be expecting an explanation.
Thank you so much Aunty Li for helping us out this time, if you hadn't been to the market, I don't know what would have happened.
It is nothing, aunty Li waved her hand to signify that it's wasn't worth mentioning. Then she raised her face up to look at Mr Xin eyeballs to eyeballs and asked in a polite manner, can you explain to me now.
Alright Mr Xin answered, this question is a little bit tricky he said, we both don't really know what happened but it all happened this morning, when we both got up from bed. It is too good to be true right?
But that is the truth.
So you're saying that it just happened! asked aunty Li.
Yes answered Mr Xin.
But the people are already coming in droves , what are we to do?
Mr Xin massaged his eye brows, honestly he is so confused deep down , today should have been a very good day in their lives but now it has turned into something else by some wicked countrymen .
What are they going to do and in this community scammers are usually put to death and there's no other way out.
All the while aunty Li has been quite and suddenly she spoke up both of you should leave this village and never come back.
I have that in mind but they will never stop hunting us, can we run for ever?
I know that this is not going to be easy, but we have no other choice.
...
Somewhere at the village square
The number of people sitting here are more than five hundred, and what could they be discussing in this hot afternoon?
And sitting at the centred honoured chair is a middle age man, who is about Seventy years of age, his name is Mo Tian and he is the village head.
And sitting on too far from him is Mr Xie the father of Xin Yan's friend Xie Xie.
Village head, you have heard everything, and it is our law to put to death every scammer caught in the community...
I can not begin to imagine what will happen if we don't punish this people and there's a chance that the village will become lawless.
After listening to all that Mr Xie had said so far the village head has become infuriated. After shouting with a loud voice, let's go everyone.
.....
Back at the Xin's house .
Mr Xin has finally made up his mind, he breathed out loud and said to aunty Li, please I want you to help me take care of her, just go anywhere but this community, I know that I am asking a lot of you but please because of her mother, just help us. He turned to Xin Yan, Yan'er please follow your aunty Li and make sure to obey everything she says, and from today onwards you are to take her as your mother don't worry she will take very good care of you as her own because she is your mother's best friend.
Come here and bow three times to her, Xin Yan who has been crying all this while, can and bowed trice before standing before her father and aunty Li could not say anything, she just looked at both father and daughter and couldn't find what to say because whatever she says was already useless at this point.
Xin Yan go and get your things, you will be leaving right now,( Father I have learned my lesson thought Xin Yan) Xin Yan went out and before long came back with her bag. This is all I can do for you, the rest will be up to you and your aunty Li and it was because of this statement that made Xin Yan busted out in tears, she has lost her mother and now she's going to lose her father as well, why is life so unfair and it's just taking everything away from me! thought Xin Yan.
Alright this is it.
Goodbye Yan'er, maybe one day we might see again, I put all my faith in you and I know that one day you will be able to. Remember that when you have power one day, use it to protect your loved ones, do not control people with your power but give them free will.
He stretched out his right hand to rub her already rough hair just to show how much he loves her.
After doing all this, he escorted them to the backyard of the house and after seeing them off he turned around and went back into the house and light the whole house on fire.
After walking for a long distance, the crying Xin Yan could only see their house on fire because of the smoke coming from the house roof, she wanted to rush back but aunty Li was firmly holding her in place to prevent her from running back to the house, you will understand what has happened today later in the future.
.....
Long after Xin Yan and aunty Li left, the village people finally got to the former Xin's family house which is now on fire, from the fire they could see Mr Xin who's also on fire in the house.
And they were all ashamed, so we finally pushed them to death the village people began to mumble.
Mr Xie on the other hand has an unsightly face for he has thought that he was going to make a lot of money for them and now they are all dead.
He could not feel any joy in any of these because they is no gain.
After they watched the whole building burnt to the ground, they all left one by one until the whole place became deserted.
...
Two days later
After walking for a long time, aunty Li asked Xin Yan to sit down and said to Xin Yan, the joy of life is in surviving because right now she's looking pale like white as if she has lost a lot of blood. This is as a result of her crying all this while moreover she has been crying for the past two day.
