After returning home and listening to his parents' Eight Trigrams, Li Xingkong identified a few notorious old men. Without waiting long, he prepared to set off to visit these infamous old men.
To have such a reputation in the village, these people must not be easy to get along with, whether in their personal conduct or their work.
There's no need to go and greet them. Let's send Spiritual Qi to scout ahead and see if they have anything at home.
Li Xingkong was never good at dealing with people, and now he had to face these extremely shrewd individuals. Naturally, he wasn't very willing to communicate with them. They might be shameless, but Li Xingkong still had a little bit of decency.
We started looking from the house closest to ours, based on how far away they were from the vegetable garden.
As Li Xingkong approached his home, he could hear shouting and cursing coming from the house, as if several people were arguing.
Li Xingkong couldn't help but feel curious. Joining in the fun is an instinct ingrained in the bones of the Divine Land People, and besides, the place where the cursing was coming from was exactly where he was going, so he might as well go and listen.
When Li Xingkong got closer, he saw that two young men were kicking the door of the house. There were clearly people behind the door holding it shut, preventing the two men from getting in.
Many neighbors came out to watch the spectacle. Some had come out early to sweep the streets, while others, indifferent to the commotion, simply squatted at their doorways, eating and watching. It was quite a lively scene.
"What's going on, Brother Erniu?"
Li Xingkong didn't get too close. He went to a neighbor's house he knew and quietly asked them something.
"Hey, that Old Ge is almost 70, and he's still got dirty hands. He went to someone's shop and secretly groped the woman's butt. The man wasn't in the shop then, so he didn't say a word. Now that the man's back, he's come knocking on the door."
The middle-aged man whom Li Xingkong called Brother Erniu had obviously already gotten to the bottom of the story, and Li Xingkong's question gave him someone to Eight Trigrams.
Li Xingkong in amazement. This Old Ge was already so old, yet he still pulled this stunt. He truly deserved his infamous reputation.
After banging on the door for a while without any response from inside, the two young men stopped banging. They looked around and decided to borrow a ladder from their neighbor, climb over the wall, and drag him out.
Well, judging from this, today's events are going to be quite a spectacle.
I've already enjoyed the gossip, and although there's more excitement to come, I don't have much time left. Although I really want to see what happens next, finding the Body Tempering Grass is more important.
Let's first investigate whether he has any Body Tempering Grass hidden at home.
While still squatting among the crowd watching the spectacle, Li Xingkong controlled his Spiritual Qi to fly towards Old Ge's courtyard.
The Spiritual Qi flew into the courtyard, and Li Xingkong glanced at the door as well. An old man was holding the door open with a door bar, and a middle-aged woman was standing next to him. She looked quite anxious and was helping him hold the door open.
Strange, this doesn't look like Old Ge's family member. Could she be one of his mistresses?
Li Xingkong was once again shocked; he simply couldn't see what charm this gaunt old man possessed.
Never mind, we can still eat the melon later. Finding something else is more important.
He controlled his Spiritual Qi and circled his house inside and out, but still couldn't find any trace of the Body Tempering Grass.
Well, it seems it wasn't his family who did it. His reputation is bad, but it's bad for another reason.
Just as Li Xingkong was about to control his Spiritual Qi to take a closer look, he suddenly felt someone pushing his body.
Li Xingkong immediately turned his attention back to his body and looked at the person who had pushed him.
It turned out to be a neighbor from the vegetable garden. He was covered in sweat, and it seemed he had gone to great lengths to find him.
"What's wrong, bro? Look at how much you're sweating."
Li Xingkong quickly helped him up, and the two of them walked out of the crowd and found a slightly secluded place.
"Quick, hurry back to your vegetable garden! That Granny Caidun from the village is blocking your door and yelling at you. Hurry, hurry back and check on her, or she'll ruin your garden."
Upon hearing this, Li Xingkong was somewhat bewildered. This Granny Caidun was the second house he was planning to visit, and her family was also known for being difficult and cunning.
I haven't even gone there yet, and she's already come knocking on my door.
I have no relationship with her, and I just learned about her bad reputation from my parents. This sudden visit to my door makes me wonder if the vegetables I lost are related to her.
Well, I couldn't find the person myself, but they came to me.
"Alright, alright, Li Xingkong to."
"Brother, you rest for a bit, buy yourself a bottle of water, I'll go back and check on things."
Li Xingkong didn't linger. He gave the neighbor who delivered the letter a red envelope to buy water, and then hurried over to the vegetable garden.
His Body Tempering Grass are extremely precious; he can't let this old lady cause a scene. If she were to pluck a few for him, the loss would be enormous.
Li Xingkong sped up and returned quickly, taking less than half a minute to reach the Li Xingkong of his vegetable garden.
There were quite a few people standing at the entrance, but they were all standing sparsely at a distance and didn't crowd around. In the middle of the crowd, on the main road, an old woman was sitting on the ground.
He had an iron basin in front of him and a dull kitchen knife in his hand. He was shouting and cursing loudly while banging the iron basin with the knife to keep himself entertained.
The insults were incredibly harsh, almost like rap.
That's why rap has never been a foreign import. People who say rap is foreign have probably never seen an old woman in the countryside cursing.
The noise, the rhyming, the cursing could go on for days, until the throat was hoarse and no sound could be uttered.
If the old lady were sitting at someone else's door, he would naturally be happy to watch it, but now that she's sitting at his own door, Li Xingkong is not going to find it amusing.
He quickly took a few steps forward, and the onlookers made way for him when they saw the person in question had arrived.
When the old woman saw Li Xingkong approaching, she stopped cursing. She jumped up and held the kitchen knife in her hand, pointing it at Li Xingkong from a distance and shaking it.
"You bastard, you're finally back! I'll make you pay with your life!"
The old woman shouted and looked like she was about to rush forward.
Li Xingkong naturally wouldn't tolerate him, so he just stood there coldly staring at her. The old lady made quite a fuss, but she didn't take a single step forward.
Just by looking at her, she looked like she was really going to kill someone; her face was ferocious, her movements were brutal, and she was making a lot of noise with her feet. But if you really want to say she was fierce, after all that ferocity, she didn't take a single step; she just stood there jumping around in place.
" Granny Caidun, what's wrong? We've only met a few times."
Li Xingkong asked innocently. He was now much more at ease. In any case, at least he knew where he had lost the Body Tempering Grass.
"What kind of lousy vegetables did you grow? My husband ate them and is now lying at home unconscious!"
The Granny Caidun immediately started cursing Li Xingkong's vegetables.
The onlookers chuckled and booed, realizing that the problem stemmed from stealing someone else's vegetables.
Serves you right!
"What vegetables I grow is none of your business. I didn't give them to you. I even brought these vegetables to treat wampee, I wouldn't dare eat them myself."
Li Xingkong wasn't flustered. This old lady was so arrogant; he had to scare her.
Upon hearing this, the old woman panicked. She didn't care whether it was stolen or robbed, and started wildly waving her arms around again.
"I don't care, my husband got sick after eating your food, so you have to compensate me and throw all your food away!"
Li Xingkong was at his wit's end; this old woman was incredibly persistent and dangerous.
I can't give her a blowjob myself, sigh, this is a dilemma.
Even cultivators have problems they can't solve.
