After relying on the motherland, my supermarket has become more and more prosperous.

Drunk people often say they are not drunk, and bad people often say they are not bad people.

If Jiang Wanwan says that she is not evil, will anyone believe her in today's environment?

As Jiang Wanwan walked to the entrance of the supermarket, her outline was revealed in the firelight in the distance. The soft voice just fell, which immediately caused a commotion among the people under the ancient tree.

They gathered together, huddled together, and shrank back, as if they wanted to hide themselves at the end.

However, there was a thousand-year-old tree behind them, and pushing each other would only make them get closer.

Of course, having more than a dozen people huddled together can still bring some psychological comfort.

In comparison, Shuanzi, who was closer, was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground, curled up in a ball and trembled.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Wanwan could only sigh helplessly, feeling a sense of grievance that she could not defend herself.

I've told you she's not an evil ghost, so why don't these people understand? Is she also so unreasonable when she's afraid of ghosts?

Fortunately, there is a decisive, resolute and courageous person among this group of people.

Jiang Wanwan was racking her brains over what she should say to better calm these people's nerves.

Next to Shuanzi, the only young man who was still standing upright, clasped his fists and spoke, breaking the awkward silence.

"My name is Li Chengzhi. Because of the evil spirit in my hometown, I had no choice but to leave my hometown with my fellow villagers and rush to Lancheng to save my life. I passed by this place and wanted to stay overnight under the ancient tree for shelter. I will leave at dawn tomorrow morning. I hope you will agree. If it disturbs you, we can leave now!"

Great, finally there is someone to talk to, Jiang Wanwan also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, she didn't dare to invite him enthusiastically, after all, someone who showed kindness without any reason was either a traitor or a thief.

He just smiled and replied, "My name is Jiang Wanwan. You don't have to be so polite. This is not my territory. You can of course rest here. But I think I scared your companions."

Jiang Wanwan glanced at Shuanzi, who was lying on the ground and had not yet gotten up, and then glanced behind the fire. Because of her gaze, some people became agitated again.

Finally, he assured with a serious face: "I'm sorry, but I really am not evil!"

Li Chengzhi also looked back at everyone with a soothing look in his eyes, and then looked at Jiang Wanwan again.

"They've never been out of the village before, they're shallow and timid, that's why they misunderstood. We should apologize, Miss Jiang, just don't blame us!"

Jiang Wanwan opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she only uttered, "Alright! Then you should comfort them."

Hearing this, Li Chengzhi nodded in gratitude, then bent down and pulled up the bolt under his feet.

Seeing this, Jiang Wanwan thought for a moment and reminded, "Oh, don't forget the dead branches on the ground. It's cold at night, and it won't be easy if the fire goes out!"

Li Chengzhi was stunned when he heard this, and then he responded with some surprise: "Yes, thank you Miss Jiang for your consideration."

Afterwards, he first pulled up Shuanzi, whose legs were weak, walked to the fire and pushed it to everyone. Then he turned around and walked over, picked up the dead branches scattered on the ground, and then returned to the crowd.

With Li Chengzhi back by their side, the timid people in Lijia Village finally relaxed a little and gathered around them.

With Li Chengzhi's comfort, everyone sat down around the fire despite feeling uneasy.

Someone glanced at the supermarket with concern, then asked in a very low voice: "Brother Zhi, isn't that really evil?"

"Look at the clothes she's wearing and how she looks, she doesn't look like a human!"

"Woo, I'm still scared. Let's go!"

"Yes, it's better to travel at night than to stay here!"

Li Chengzhi looked around and saw everyone's uneasy expressions. He controlled his voice and explained in a low voice.

"It's cold at night, and the elderly and children can't leave. Besides, Lan City is closed at night. Even if we rush over, we'll have to spend the night outside. There are no big trees outside the city to block the wind, which will only make it more difficult to endure."

"What should I do?"

"Is it really safe to stay here?"

"Was that really a human?"

Li Chengzhi also looked back at the supermarket before speaking again.

"We have nowhere to go right now. Staying here is the best option. As for whether she's human, I can't be sure. But judging by her attitude, she's probably not evil."

"In short, relax. If they're evil, we won't be able to escape no matter what. If they're not, then you're all worrying for nothing. It's better to take care of yourself first and get some rest!"

After hearing this advice, everyone's originally anxious mood gradually relaxed a little.

Although I was still a little worried and would look over at the supermarket from time to time, I also started to do some of my own things.

For example, taking out dry food from the tattered bag and roasting it, or taking off shoes to pick the blisters on the feet...

It was windy outside at night and their conversation was so quiet that it couldn't be heard inside the supermarket.

But Jiang Wanwan sat back down, now she has some internal strength to rely on!

The internal force covered his ears, and he could hear everything clearly. His originally distressed expression became unpredictable.

Jiang Wanwan was originally thinking about how to start the conversation to introduce the supermarket without raising their suspicion, and then invite them to come in and have a look.

However, she didn't expect that Li Chengzhi, whom she thought had trusted her, actually didn't really trust her. The other party was just taking a helpless gamble!

This is really... too difficult!

Should Jiang Wanwan be thankful that she didn't rashly invite people into the supermarket during their previous conversation, otherwise the situation would have been very embarrassing!

But how can I truly gain the other party's trust now? Everything seems to have returned to the starting point.

Hey, let’s take another look!

If we can't find a suitable opportunity, we'll probably have to wait until daybreak when their vigilance has dropped.

Jiang Wanwan came back to her senses and glanced at the dark supermarket. She hesitated for fear of alerting those people, so she didn't turn on her cell phone light.

He just used the faint light from the fire outside to carefully monitor the situation and movements of those people.

I saw them take out something, heat it by the fire, and then carefully put it to their mouths and eat it.

Jiang Wanwan stared at it without blinking, and her eyes were almost blinded before she finally saw it clearly.

I don't know what that thing is made of, but it must be a dry biscuit. It must not taste very good, dry and hard, difficult to chew and swallow.

As for Jiang Wanwan, she has never eaten it, so how does she know what it tastes like?

Of course it’s because I saw it!

Jiang Wanwan saw that the old, young, sick and weak were chewing with difficulty, and then swallowing with a lump in their necks.

In particular, the weak woman next to Li Chengzhi took a bite and chewed it for a long time but couldn't swallow it. Instead, she started coughing, which made Li Chengzhi quite anxious.

Seeing this, Jiang Wanwan suddenly thought of a topic to start a conversation.
