Chapter 295: Chapter 270: Confusion, Doubt, Deceiving Together_1

Lin Xiaoru was about to head out for a performance when she also fell down.

However, Lin Xiaoru wasn’t tripped by the threshold but slipped on a wet patch on the ground and fractured her leg.

"Who the hell splashed water in front of the door! You broke my leg," Lin Xiaoru gasped in pain, cursing without thinking and sitting on the ground yelling.

Huang Jingli came out of the house to help Lin Xiaoru up but didn’t dare to talk back.

It was Sister Wu who came out of the house, frowning and said, "What are you ranting about so early in the morning! Who would splash water at your door? It must have been you who splashed it! You can’t blame others for your own fall."

Lin Xiaoru was initially too dizzy from the pain to notice, but as she came to, she realized the water seemed to be what she had spilt herself.

"Aren’t you going to help me inside quickly!" Lin Xiaoru said irritably, thinking Huang Jingli was hopelessly stupid.

Huang Jingli didn’t make a sound and helped Lin Xiaoru into the house.

As soon as Lin Xiaoru sat on the bed, she said again, "Aren’t you going to hurry up and get a doctor for me? Or do you want to see me dead before you’ll be happy?"

"Oh!" Huang Jingli responded and hurriedly went to find a doctor.

Once she stepped outside, a smile crept onto Huang Jingli’s face. She deserved it! Heaven is watching after all!

She hoped Lin Xiaoru’s leg would be more severely injured!

When Huang Jingli hurried to Hujia Village to fetch Wang Shuilian, she was told that Wang Shuilian was in Qijia Village, so she hurried back.

Within just half a day, Qi Zhenzhen’s face broke out in sores, Qi Shuli broke his arm, Qi Fangfang developed ringworm on her body, and Lin Xiaoru broke her arm; the news had spread throughout Qijia Village and even the people from nearby Hujia Village knew about it.

The occurrence of so many bizarre incidents in one morning filled everyone with fear and trepidation!

Those with a quick mind thought it over and realized that all these people seemed to have had disputes with He Tiantian! Could it be He Tiantian...?

No, that’s not right, He Tiantian, a young girl, couldn’t possibly have broken Qi Shuli’s arm and Lin Xiaoru’s leg at the same time!

Moreover, He Tiantian had been in Third Grandma Qi’s house all along and hadn’t come this way at all this morning!

If it wasn’t He Tiantian who did it, then why were there so many coincidences?

People who didn’t get along with Qi Shuli began gossiping behind his back, suggesting he had done some misdeed and the Mountain God had manifested.

Many people agreed and secretly went to the back mountain to worship the Mountain God at night.

However, with so many mysterious incidents, you can keep people’s mouths shut, but you can’t control their hearts.

Only by worshipping the gods would the villagers of Qijia Village feel at peace.

He Tiantian was also curious, thinking it was the Snake King who had taken action.

But the Snake King said mournfully in the Barrier Space, "I have been cultivating all this time; it wasn’t me. Go ask the Little Rotating Turtle..."

He Tiantian was taken aback; how could she have forgotten about that mischievous on the outside yet sly on the inside Little Rotating Turtle?

When she went to work, He Tiantian asked Huo Yingjie, "Brother Yingjie, where’s that little turtle?"

"It’s called Little Rotating Turtle," Huo Yingjie laughed and pulled it out of his pocket, showing the Little Rotating Turtle fast asleep.

"Stop it!" The Little Rotating Turtle flapped its tiny arms and legs, muttering human words while half asleep!

"Oh my God!" He Tiantian feigned surprise, "It... it can talk?"

Huo Yingjie’s heart skipped a beat, knowing he couldn’t keep it a secret anymore, and shared with He Tiantian about the Little Rotating Turtle’s magical aspects.

In reality, He Tiantian knew all this but had to pretend she was oblivious to protect the Snake King.

She alternated between exclamations of wonder and questioning.

Bit by bit, Huo Yingjie told He Tiantian everything about the Little Rotating Turtle.

"Then... were the incidents with Qi Zhenzhen, Qi Shuli, and the others caused by the Little Rotating Turtle?" He Tiantian nervously inquired, worried that Huo Yingjie might already know something.

"Yes, it was I who ordered it to do so," Huo Yingjie said gravely, looking intently at He Tiantian, hoping to get the truth from her rather than others.

He Tiantian’s scalp tingled; Huo Yingjie must have found out.

"I’m sorry, Brother Yingjie." He Tiantian lowered her head quickly, hastening to admit her fault.

Huo Yingjie doted on her, but he would certainly be angry about her deception.

"Where did you go wrong?" Huo Yingjie wanted to tell himself he was not angry, but when the time came, he couldn’t suppress his wrath.

"I hid it from you," He Tiantian quickly attempted to explain, "At the time, with Third Grandma Qi, Qi Xiaoyan, Secretary Qi there, I wouldn’t be at a disadvantage, so I didn’t tell you. Besides, you were at the research institute, busy with work; I didn’t want to bother you with these trivial matters."
