129 The Discussions
When Gu Qingming heard the villager’s words, she felt a little aggrieved, but she also knew that she did look delicate and felt embarrassed.
Gu Qingming was someone who knew how to restrain her emotions. She put away her coquettish and aggrieved look when facing her grandmother and followed behind her grandmother coldly with an expressionless face.
Along the way, the villagers looked at the cold Gu Qingming and discussed again.
“Those from the city are cut from the same cloth. Look at how arrogant and disdainful they are. They seem to despise country bumpkins like us.”
“That’s right. If you despise country bumpkins like us, why are you still here?”
“Hey, you can’t say that about her. Everyone’s watermelons were sold for a good price this year because of her.”
“The watermelon owner said that if the quality of the watermelons planted next year was passable, then it would be at the same high price. I was still counting on my watermelons to sell at a good price.”
“If you guys talk about her behind her back and she hears it, she won’t want your watermelon when the time comes. Let’s see who you can cry to.”
At this reminder, those who were discussing Gu Qingming immediately stopped talking.
They all knew that the boss who came to buy watermelons was Gu Qingming’s good friend.
However, there were also people who seemed to be disdainful. “We’re already so far away. What can she hear? Besides, this is just a private discussion between us. If we don’t say it, how can she hear it? Unless you told her?”
When Li Sanjiao heard this, she was so angry that she leaned back.
She scolded angrily, “I kindly reminded you, but you actually blame me. How can there be an impenetrable wall in the world? Since you think that people can’t hear you talking about others behind their backs, continue. I won’t get involved!”
With that, she lowered her head and bent down to remove the weeds in the ground.
Those people who were involved in the discussion first took a look and rolled their eyes. Then, they changed the topic and stopped discussing Gu Qingming behind her back.
The corners of Gu Qingming’s mouth twitched.
She did not expect to be able to hear the villagers’ discussions about her from so far away. She was speechless.
Sometimes, it was troublesome to have good hearing.
“Little Kong, isn’t this effect too good?” Gu Qingming communicated with the little fairy with her mind. “I can hear it from such a distance. If I don’t want to hear this, what should I do?”
This was still in the countryside. There were not many people.
If she heard this in a big city, she would be annoyed to death.
Kong Xingfan asked curiously, “Master, don’t you know?”
“You didn’t tell me. How would I know?” Gu Qingming said angrily.
Kong Xingfan said in confusion, “That’s not right. I didn’t hear you say before that you could hear all kinds of sounds. I thought you knew the method?”
“Huh?” Gu Qingming was a little stunned. Thinking about it, there did not seem to be any distress in this aspect.
Gu Qingming asked curiously, “What’s going on?”
Kong Xingfan resolved her doubts and said, “This can be controlled with your mind. It means listening to what you want to hear.”
“Listen to what I want to hear?” Gu Qingming pondered for a while before asking, “You’re saying that if I want to hear these voices, I can hear them. If I don’t want to hear them, I can’t, right?”
“Yes, that’s what I meant!” Kong Xingfan nodded.
“But why can I hear the discussions of these villagers? Is it what I want to hear?” Gu Qingming asked in confusion.
Kong Xingfan tilted his head and said, “That might be the case!”
Gu Qingming was speechless. Was she that bored?
Yes, it was indeed a little boring now.
