Chapter 34 - Questioning

"Go away, I'm talking to you about business!" Zhuzi's face was dark, and he bumped into the other person: "Look carefully, isn't this the place we came yesterday?"

  The man who was pulled out touched his arm in pain, then looked around suspiciously, and then suddenly realized.

  "Yes, I was just busy chatting with them and really had no idea. This is where we came yesterday! We walked in this direction, there can't be water!"

  "I'm wondering too! If there is really water nearby, how come we didn't see it?"

  The two whispered.

  "Hey, you were here yesterday? Isn't this the place where Liu Da said there were dirty things?"

  The people around heard the voice and gathered around.

  "What are you afraid of in broad daylight? Besides, if you piss me off, I'll pee on you and everything will fall apart!"

  "Don't you say that only boy's urine works?"

  Zhuzi rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Are you the only one who's smart?"

  "Haha~" Realizing that he had said something wrong, the person who spoke smiled awkwardly and changed the subject: "Did you really come here yesterday?"

  "Absolutely, we definitely came here yesterday. There is absolutely no way there is water nearby!!!" Zhuzi patted his chest, and another person nodded in agreement.

  "You mean, the village chief lied? But that doesn't make sense. The village chief is not likely to lie to us about this. Besides, if we don't find it later, it will be the village chief who will be embarrassed. That's no good!"

  The big man who was watching said in confusion.

  "So you mean I lied? Then tell me what good would it do me if I lied? I swear to heaven, I came here yesterday and I definitely didn't see any water source!" Zhuzi pointed to the sky and swore, "If I lie, I'll be struck by lightning and I won't be able to marry a wife!"

  "That's not what I meant. I didn't say you lied! Why did you swear?"

  "Then what do you mean?"

  "I mean the village chief won't lie to us about this matter."

  "Then you still mean I'm lying!" Zhuzi asked relentlessly.

  "Why don't you understand what people say? No, I mean... Damn it, whatever you mean, just say it!" The big guy finished swearing and closed his mouth.

  It seems that most of it is true.

  Although Zhuzi is idle and wanders around the village every day, he is still a relatively upright person and basically won't lie.

  What's more, he swore a poisonous oath. Everyone in the village knows that the one who wants to marry a wife the most is Zhuzi.

  They have sworn this, so it is probably true.

  You know, at that time, the weight of the oath was many times heavier than it is now.

  The people around returned to the team with heavy hearts. Under the concerned inquiries of their companions, the news spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

  Before long, almost everyone knew about this matter.

  The team, which had originally been quiet, became noisy again.

  Hearing the noise, Liu Dexi stopped and looked back in confusion, but when he saw the village chief looking over, the people in the team instantly lowered their voices.

  What happened?

  "Liu Qi."

  "Dad, you called me?" Liu Qi walked over and asked.

  Liu Dexi nodded: "Go and see what happened in the team. Why did it suddenly become noisy."

  "Okay."

  Not long after, Liu Qi ran to Liu Dexi's side and whispered: "Zhu Zi came to this place yesterday and said that there could be no water nearby. He also swore. Now everyone is suspecting that you, Dad, lied to them."

  "Haha, there was no water yesterday, but you didn't say there would be no water today." Liu Dexi stroked his beard proudly.
