The Ba Family had a bad reputation in Qingping Town.
The family often relied on their physical advantage to bully others. If they ran out of vegetables at home, they would casually pick from someone else's garden. If confronted, they would blame the other party for being petty. If the argument escalated, the Ba Family would distort the facts and extort the opponent instead.
Therefore, when Mrs. Ji yelled for help, their neighbors pretended not to hear.
Some even secretly hoped that it was really a thief killing them to wipe out the Ba Family.
"Mei, tell her to shut up, it's really noisy!"
Listening to Mrs. Ji's pig-like screeching, Yuan Bao felt his ears hurt.
Upon Yuan Bao's command, Mei Jiu quickly stepped forward, lightly tapping Mrs. Ji's throat, rendering her mute.
Of course, Mrs. Ji could still talk, but her voice was almost inaudible.
Mei Jiu's technique wasn't acupuncture, but seemed just as effective.
