My humble days in ancient times

The quiet little village was originally immersed in a deep slumber, but it was instantly broken by Xu Qinghe's panicked shout, just like a huge rock was thrown into the calm lake, causing ripples.

Many people were awakened by the sudden shouting in their sleep. After waking up in a daze, they heard the shouting of "catch the ghost". Their curiosity was immediately aroused and they all sat up from the bed.

Xu Ruyi was awakened by the noise and quickly got up, holding the chili powder and the stick tightly in her hands, ready to deal with any possible danger.

Xu Ruyi hurried over following the sound, and in the dim night, she actually ran into the White Impermanence. In the darkness, the all-white figure stumbling and running was particularly eye-catching.

When Xu Ruyi saw it suddenly, she felt her head buzzing. Three and a half of her seven souls were scared away, and her heart seemed to stop beating suddenly. She was afraid that he would drift in front of her, and her legs seemed to be nailed down and she couldn't move.

Bai Wuchang was also stunned when he saw her, obviously not expecting to meet someone here, but he quickly changed direction and ran again.

Xu Ruyi immediately recovered from her panic and mustered up the courage to chase after him.

In the dark night, Bai Wuchang ran too fast and was suddenly tripped by something on the ground and fell forward.

Xu Ruyi took the opportunity to run up to him and without hesitation sprinkled the chili powder in her hand, then shouted with all her might: "I caught a ghost, I caught a ghost, everyone come and see!"

Bai Wuchang was choked by the sudden chili powder and couldn't breathe. He kept coughing and his nose and tears were streaming.

At this time, Xu Qinghe also ran over panting.

Bai Wuchang saw the situation was not good and stood up to run. Xu Ruyi was quick-witted and hit him on the leg with a stick. He let out a scream that echoed through the night sky.

After being hit with a stick and injuring his leg, Bai Wuchang couldn't run away even if he wanted to. He could only sit on the ground, gasping for breath.

Xu Ruyi crossed her arms, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Do you want to take the cloth off your head yourself, or do you want us to help you?"

However, Bai Wuchang stiffened his neck and said nothing, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

At this time, Xu Dafu and other villagers rushed over.

Xu Dafu said helplessly: "Please help us find out who is playing tricks on us."

As soon as he finished speaking, two strong villagers immediately stepped forward to hold him down. Xu Dafu reached out and forcefully took away the large white cloth on Bai Wuchang's head.

Huang Guiyun's familiar face suddenly appeared in front of Xu Ruyi.

Everyone was shocked. They originally thought it was a man. Who would have thought it was a woman.

When Xu Dafu saw that it was Huang Guiyun, he shook his head in disappointment.

Xu Ruyi was no longer calm. Her brows furrowed as she demanded, "Why would it be Mrs. Huang? Mrs. Huang is not sleeping in the middle of the night. What's going on?"

Xu Qinghe snorted coldly and said, "You want to go to the wasteland to steal bricks? What good can come of it?"

Huang Guiyun was thick-skinned after all, and was a little unhappy at this moment. She yelled, "You damn girl, you were so cruel. You almost broke my leg. You really showed no mercy at all."

Xu Ru was furious and asked, "You didn't learn your lesson last time after paying ten taels of silver. You're doing it again this time."

Huang Guiyun argued, "I didn't do anything. I just ran around the village."

Xu Qinghe glared at him and said, "You tried to steal but failed."

Huang Guiyun suddenly became furious and jumped up and down, shouting, "What do you mean by 'failed to steal'? I didn't steal anything at all. Now I have nothing, don't I?"

This situation is so similar to what happened to Wang Erdan back then, it's exactly the same.

Xu Ruyi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Should we ask the village head to come over and make the final decision? Let's see what he says and whether we can just let this matter go."

Huang Guiyun looked nonchalant and said with a curled lip, "I'm not afraid even if the king of heaven comes. I didn't take anything. I have nothing to fear. What should I be afraid of?"

Everyone in the village knew Huang Guiyun's character. She was indeed bold, aggressive and domineering, but it was also true that she had not stolen anything.

Xu Ruyi thought to herself: He is indeed smarter than Wang Erdan and knows how to quibble.

Xu Ruyi smiled and said, "Then why did you run? Why did you go to the wasteland with the bricks? You weren't going there to relax, were you?"

Huang Guiyun covered the injured part with one hand, grimacing in pain, and said, "I can go wherever I want, what's it to you? But you little bitch, what do you say about hitting me with a stick? This matter can't be let go like this."

Xu Ruyi thought to herself: Should I follow Wang Erdan's example and ask for compensation?

Xu Ruyi said: "I am also defending myself. What if you hurt me? This is legitimate defense."

What is self-defense? Everyone said they had never heard of this new term, but now, considering the current situation, they can guess its general meaning with a little thinking.

Huang Guiyun said with disdain: "Oh, everyone, please go away. I have to go back and rest. Xu girl, I am a magnanimous person. Since you are still young and ignorant, I will not bother with you. You hit me hard with that stick. Ouch, it hurts so much."

However, everyone did not leave, as they all wanted to see how the matter would end.

Xu Ruyi's face flushed with anger, and she said angrily, "If you hadn't acted like a ghost and scared me, would I have attacked you? The person I saw was Bai Wuchang, and I was beating up a ghost! Who knew it was you?"

At this time, Xu Dafu stepped forward and said to Huang Guiyun with a serious face, "You are almost thirty years old now. Don't play tricks in the middle of the night, and don't learn to steal from Wang Erdan. Since you are a woman, I will not bother with you today. Don't have any bad ideas about my family in the future. This will not happen again. If it happens again, I will not let you off easily."

Xu Dafu bowed to the other villagers and said, "I'm sorry for waking you all up because of my family's affairs. Everyone should go back and rest quickly. Dismissal, dismissal."

Huang Guiyun snorted in dissatisfaction: "You were too rough, it hurts so much." After that, he limped towards home, still muttering to himself.

When they got home, Xu Shi asked sleepily, "Why are you still awake in the middle of the night? What were you doing out there? Why did you come back so late?"

Huang Guiyun said nonchalantly, "Nothing. I just accidentally fell outside."

The next day, the news of Huang Guiyun pretending to be a ghost in the middle of the night spread throughout the village like wings. Huang Guiyun knew he was in the wrong, so he hid for several days and did not go out.

She wasn't really afraid of anything, she was just afraid of other people asking her all sorts of questions. Those barrage of questions were really annoying.

Xu Shi also heard about this and frowned as he asked Huang Guiyun, "You're so capable now, you can even act like a ghost. Are you trying to scare people to death? You're just doing some ridiculous things."

Huang Guiyun also got angry and said angrily: "Scared to death? Who could I possibly scare? I didn't scare Xu Qinghe or Xu Ruyi. That damn girl even threw chili powder at me and hit my legs with a stick. It's really abominable."

When Xu Shi heard Xu Ruyi mentioned, he said, "Why are you always picking on Xu Ruyi? She's just a child. Don't bully her in the future. I heard she was frightened by Wang Erdan last time. If you scare her again, what will happen to her in the future? She's also a poor child. Her mother has passed away, and her father is unreliable. How can you bully a child like that? How can you be so cruel?"
