Chapter 210 - 198: Man in Abyss Receives a Bamboo Hat in the Rain 3
The moment he said so, everyone fell silent, because he really hit the nail on the head. In the past two days, there really wasn't anyone who came to give Xie Lian a hand. This water merchant had at least the mind to help, he just didn't make it, but the others didn't even dare spare a glance in his direction!
Someone grumbled, "Then what should we do now? If we can't do this, then why don't you come up with something??"
The crowd was about to go rowdy again, some even trying to push themselves through to the front, and just then, another voice shouted savagely, "WHO'S MAKING ALL THIS RACKET? IF ANYONE WANTS TO ROUGH THIS UP, THIS ANCESTOR'S GOT A KNIFE!"
When they looked, it was that chubby chef that was the first who wanted to pull the sword on the first day Xie Lian fell from the sky. Something seemed to have provoked him, and he roared, "That little buddy is right! If it wasn't several people holding me back yesterday, I would've almost pulled out that sword! And now, how come before I even moved, you lot are the ones making the most noise? PATHETIC! Think you're worthy? Well you certainly don't see such shameless thick skins everyday!"
That chef was a big man, his voice loud and clear, and he was in the height of his anger, a butcher knife in his hand, as if he only just came out of the kitchen. The ones who were complaining the loudest earlier instantly didn't dare to make any more noise. There were those who didn't know what had happened the past couple of days, and after they inquired, they were all surprised, "No way? None of you went up to help?"
"Yea, you all just left him there lying for two days? Didn't even help him sit up or anything?"
The more they spoke the more the others felt ashamed, and they countered, "Don't speak as if you would've gone up to help, and say all those pretty things after the fact. Don't forget, when those ghastly things descend later, none of us will get away!"
"Heh then I'll tell you, if I was there, I would've definitely helped him pull the sword!"
"Of course it's easy moving your lips after the whole thing is over..."
"WAIT! What are you all arguing over? Pulling the sword isn't the problem right now!"
As they argued, both sides were rambunctious and unruly, a brawl waiting to happen, and the rain also slowly stopped. However, those black clouds were growing thicker, the pressure so dense it was suffocating the hundreds of people below. Suddenly, there was a scream that exploded from within the crowd, and many fingers pointed to the sky, "IT'S COMING!!!"
