Quick Wear: I am the shopkeeper at the Merit Pawn Shop

The woman in the wooden house was shouting, accompanied by the man's slapping and scolding.

Shen Mo remained calm and looked down the mountain. There was a moving light gradually rising.

Without thinking, he rushed towards the light.

Soon, I saw a dozen villagers holding torches and talking and laughing on the mountain road.

At first glance, I thought they were all going to the market, not like they were going to catch someone committing adultery.

"Hey, Shen Zhiqing, why are you here?" Someone noticed Shen Mo coming down the mountain and asked.

"Hurry up, something happened." Shen Mo acted anxious. In fact, he was really anxious. He believed that the man would definitely run away after he was done and would not let the woman bother him for too long.

"What happened? Shen Zhiqing, why are you on the mountain so late at night?"

The person who spoke was a pretty woman with two thick braids in her hair.

Shen Mo had no memory of receiving the client, nor did he know who this woman was.

But his perception was so strong that he immediately sensed the woman's hostility.

I just don't know where this woman's hostility towards him comes from.

But what Shen Mo was paying attention to right now was the death countdown above his head.

Now that the countdown has not disappeared, it means that the people in the cabin can leave at any time.

If the man in the wooden house left, he would be the scapegoat and would not be able to explain anything.

"Don't say anything, human life is at stake. Come with me quickly and you will know when you get there." Shen Mo grabbed the leading man's arm and ran up the mountain.

Fortunately, the man did not shake off Shen Mo. His face was solemn and he ran very fast.

Now Shen Mo has made it clear that a matter of life and death has occurred, and it would be unreasonable if we don't take it seriously.

The wooden house was halfway up the mountain, and Shen Mo and the man soon saw it.

I also happened to see a man jumping out of the window, then being pricked by thorns, and jumping on the spot.

The middle-aged man who ran after Shen Mo stepped forward and grabbed the man who was jumping up and down.

"Black Dog, what are you doing here?" he asked harshly.

"No, nothing, just taking a walk after dinner. I followed him up here. It has nothing to do with me." The black dog suddenly had an idea and pointed at Shen Mo.

Shen Mo's face turned green.

"I was picking mushrooms nearby. If you want to wrongly accuse me, at least give me a reasonable excuse, okay? My mushrooms are still in my hands. I heard a man and a woman fighting in the cabin. It was the middle of the night, and I was afraid something might happen. Then I saw the fire at the foot of the mountain, so I ran down the mountain to find help."

Shen Mo's words were well-founded, and his mushrooms were still wrapped in clothes, which was not fake at all.

Plus, the man named Black Dog was caught red-handed.

At this time, the villagers also went up the mountain.

Someone saw the lock on the cabin and frowned.

"Who locked this door? If it's locked, won't the people inside be able to get out?" The person who spoke was the woman who had previously been very hostile to Shen Mo.

"I'm sorry, I heard a fight in the cabin, and I locked it because I was afraid the bad guys would escape."

"But I went up the mountain yesterday and didn't see any lock on this house?" The woman pressed on, obviously not wanting to let Shen Mo go so quickly.

"I don't know about that. I'm just an educated youth who went up the mountain to pick mushrooms." Shen Mo shrugged.

"If you have time to sit here and doubt all these things, shouldn't you go into the house and see what's going on? I heard the woman inside screaming for help quite loudly." Shen Mo used words to divert everyone's attention.

"Are you still a man? The woman inside is crying for help, and you are still locking her up with violent elements?" The woman spoke righteously, wishing she could become justice.

"I have registered my gender and I think everyone can tell what gender I am at a glance. I am a man but I am not omnipotent. If I go in without knowing who is in the house, who can guarantee my safety? It is called courageous if you can protect yourself. If you run to save people without understanding the situation, it is reckless. If the woman inside and I were killed by this man, and you came at this time, you would think that we were committing suicide for love. Isn't it unfair that I would be accused of something even after I die?" Shen Mo couldn't help rolling his eyes after saying this. Isn't that the case?

"You, you..." The woman was speechless after being rebuked by Shen Mo, and she stomped her feet in anger.

A little head popped out from behind the woman. It was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old.

She had bright eyes and white teeth, but her skin was a little dark. She actually gave Shen Mo a thumbs up.

Shen Mo thought this little girl was interesting, and he remembered that if the relationships between the characters in the original owner's memory were not clear, he would find this little girl to inquire about some things in the village.

As for how Shen Mo could tell that all the people who went up the mountain were villagers, it was from their eyes and their clothes.

The people in the country are relatively simple and honest, and their clothes are mainly made of homespun cloth woven by the villagers themselves.

Men's clothing styles are still mainly straight-collared buttoned clothes, while women either wear slanted-collared buttoned clothes or loose-fitting clothes with lapels. The colors are all gray and basically patched.

If they were educated youth, they would never wear patched clothes outside unless they were working.

I would rather wear clothes with three layers of patches inside and three layers of patches outside, and always wear clothes without patches outside.

Even if there is only one good piece of clothing, it is still easier to distinguish in this era.

Everyone who appears here now is wearing gray clothes. Oh, there is one exception, and that is the young woman who keeps targeting Shen Mo.

Shen Mo thought that there were always one or two exceptions in this world, so it was not surprising.

Shen Mo was too lazy to pay attention to the woman. He turned around, took the key from a hook beside the door, and unlocked it.

"Isn't the key here? Instead of wasting time here, why not take a look inside? I think the men should stand aside and not go in. The women should go in and take a look!"

After Shen Mo said this, both men and older women cast admiring glances at him.

Most people who encountered such a thing would be eager to rush in to watch the fun, but Shen Mo brought it up in advance.

Only the woman who had targeted Shen Mo earlier was still relentless: "If you didn't know what happened, why didn't you let everyone in? Did you already know what happened in there? Or was it you who committed the crime here, and you're afraid that this is a frame-up."

Shen Mo now finally understood why the death countdown hanging above his head still existed and even the time did not change. It turned out that there was such a troublemaker.

It seems that if he wants to get away today, he has to get rid of this woman first.

"There is a man and a woman in the wooden house, and the woman is screaming. I would like to ask everyone present, if you heard such a sound, what would be your first reaction?" Shen Mo's eyes swept across the faces of a dozen villagers.
