Blind Man, You Bastard!

Early the next morning.

All sorts of strange things began happening throughout the village.

The river that flowed around the village had always been calm, but today, waves suddenly began rising for no reason.

"Splash~"

The waves came one after another without end.

The villagers who had come to do laundry or fetch water stood on the riverbank, not daring to step down the stairs at all.

Watching the waves wash over the steps, they could not help but look at one another.

The incident quickly alarmed the whole village. People gathered by the river and began discussing it animatedly.

"What the hell is this?!"

"There isn't even any wind today. How can there be waves?"

"I just went to the entrance of the village to take a look. There are no waves on the river outside the village—only here."

This Anomaly made everyone feel that something was seriously wrong.

In a secluded corner.

Elder stood alone by the riverbank, sinking into a long silence.

"Splash~"

A wave slammed fiercely against the steps by the river, spraying water everywhere. A few drops even struck Elder's trouser legs.

Elder's eyes suddenly lit up.

The power of the Ancestral Spirit had descended.

With a reverent expression, Elder said, "Great Ancestor, can you quell the river's anger?"

The next moment.

An invisible force descended.

Within the entire village, the waves rapidly weakened, then subsided. The river returned to its former tranquility.

Faint cries of delight came from nearby.

"The waves are gone!"

"I can feel the presence of the Ancestral Spirit."

Elder immediately smiled in satisfaction.

"Thud!"

He tapped the ground with his cane, turned, and walked toward the house.

However.

After only a few steps.

Elder suddenly sensed something, and his expression changed at once.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Several explosive crashes rang out.
