Chapter 276: The Three-Day Covenant
The silver needle is not short, it is the kind that Huo Yun usually uses for acupuncture. The expressions on people's faces originally changed from serious to relaxed, but before the smile could climb to their faces, they had completely disappeared and become more serious. The faces of the villagers almost became distorted.
Leng Tianyi didn't expect things to turn out like this, obviously he had tested the well water before and it was not poisonous. Why does it become toxic so quickly? And looking at the blackening degree of the silver needle, there is a lot of poison, no wonder it can harm an entire village. But who poisoned it? He couldn't figure it out. Who would spend such a lot of effort to harm the people of a village, and it's not a psychotic, thankless thing, why bother.
Wangjia Village is located in a remote area, and it is very poor, although the people in the village are selfish, they have never harmed anyone, and they can't find a reason to harm them, unless that person is a pervert.
In this way, the person who poisoned him may not be targeting the people of Wangjia Village, but the Leng family?
But how could he have calculated that he would definitely come to Wangjia Village for a free clinic?
Leng Tianyi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. At the beginning, it was the people of Wangjia Village who desperately spread rumors, as if they were coming out of the mouths of the people in this village, and they became more and more intense. Therefore, after Wangjiacun got a strange disease, he would say that he was punished by God because of him.
And Leng Tianyi's character has never been the kind of person who can't be saved when he sees death, besides, the people in this village are sick, and it is rumored that he has something to do with him, and he is bound to come over for treatment.
If you want to look at it this way, then the intention of the person behind it against the Leng family is too obvious. From the beginning of the rumors, to the gradual lure of them in, and finally to poison the well water, and then to put the blame on them.
What will be the result?
Ruined the reputation of the cold providence?
Leng Tianyi only felt that cold sweat began to break out on his forehead, who would spare no effort to calculate him like this? Could it be Chen Si? Does Chen Si still have this ability?
However, before he could figure it out, the angry villagers had already started to push him, Leng Tianyi was old, and he was no longer that kind of young man, so it was no problem to push and joke casually. If you are pushed to the ground like this, there will inevitably be problems.
Xue Rou hurriedly stretched out her hands to stop in front of him, and Yuan Junfeng stretched out her hand in front of Xue Rou, "What are you doing?!" Back off! ”
Yuan Junfeng felt very unangry and arrogant, but some people began to coax, "Folks, what are you afraid of?!" There are so many of us, they dare to poison us, can't we resist? Folks, come on! ”
Yuan Junfeng's face also showed anger, and he took out a short dagger from his left boot, "I think who dares to come up?!" ”
The man who was heathing was still coaxing, "What are you afraid of!" Above! I don't believe he dared to do anything to us! ”
The crowd rushed up directly, squeezing Yuan Junfeng back, Xue Rou didn't know how she was touched, and she screamed softly in pain, which made Yuan Junfeng angry.
Especially since they had never done such a thing in the first place, and their good intentions were misunderstood. And it's not the first time, how many times? It's the third time. It's obviously a good deed, but you have to take the blame.
To say that there is no one behind him, he definitely doesn't believe it.
Yuan Junfeng looked at the man in the crowd who looked hateful, looked obscene, and was still coaxing, and threw the dagger directly with his hand.
The crowd suddenly fell silent, and then let out a chicken-like cry, "Kill! ”
The man froze in the middle, because the dagger was aimed at him, and he stood still, his eyes motionless, until the dagger slashed through his cheek, cutting off two strands of hair, leaving a scratch on his cheek, and finally stabbing straight at the tree dozens of meters away from them, and firmly nailed to the trunk.
At this time, these villagers understood what it was like to have martial arts. It's not like they usually quarrel with the people in the next village, they just have to sprinkle and win. This person can really kill with one blow, and he has great strength.
Yuan Junfeng's eyes were full of anger, because the anger had already turned slightly red, which made the villagers even more afraid, as if they saw some monster, they no longer dared to act rashly.
"Who is going to come?! I'm accompanied by Yuan Jun! Your death is yours! I'm dead and it's mine! Come or not?! ”
Yuan Junfeng shouted these words, and the villagers retreated in fright, and someone whispered a madman.
Xue Rou soothed his hand behind him, and Yuan Jun turned around and met her concerned eyes. Xue Rou shook his head at him and patted his hand again, and Yuan Junfeng put his hand down and held Xue Rou's hand hard.
He was really angry just now, no matter who was behind him, it was very important to him. If something really goes wrong, he's afraid he's going to hate himself to death.
Xue Rou knew that Yuan Junfeng had another dagger hidden in his boot on his right leg, and in addition, he also had some small hidden weapons hidden on his body. Even if not, a small pebble can play a different role in his hands.
The villagers are just more than numerous, and if they really fight, they can only lose both.
Yuan Junfeng reached out and hugged Xue Rou into his arms, gently comforting her, "It's okay Rou'er, don't be afraid." I'll protect you. ”
Xue Rou's trembling hand quietly shrunk into her sleeve, she was also ready to burn the jade, as long as the poison powder in her hand was spilled, although it would not cause death, it was enough to make some organs lose his sensitivity. Eyes, for example, may not be able to see.
Xue Rou poked her head out of Yuan Junfeng's arms and looked quietly, these villagers were like crazy, some were holding sticks in their hands, some were holding a big stone, and some even held bows and arrows that usually went up the mountain to hunt.
How can these people be so vicious? Do you want to beat them to death?
Xue Rou rubbed in Yuan Junfeng's arms, her eyes were red, but she knew that this matter could not be solved, and this was not the solution. Even if they walk out of Wangjia Village by force, they will leave a shadow for a lifetime, and they will not have a good reputation from now on.
Leng Tianyi looked at him with concerned eyes, "Rou'er, are you okay?" ”
Xue Rou rubbed her eyes and smiled, "It's okay master, you should also teach them a lesson, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to negotiate well." ”
Yuan Junfeng looked down at her, "Rou'er, can you?" If it doesn't work, I'll take it. ”
Xue Rou snorted and laughed, "I said that I was going to negotiate, wouldn't it be a fight if you went." ”
She pushed Yuan Junfeng's chest, "It's okay." I went over and told them. If you stand behind me, you can be my bodyguard. ”
Although Xue Rou's eyes were red, her eyes were bright, "With you behind me, I'm not afraid of anything." ”
Xue Rou rarely talks about love on weekdays, and she is more shy. But such a person, who occasionally says this, is more lethal. Yuan Junfeng hugged her fiercely, "Go Rou'er, I will always be behind you." ”
Xue Rou nodded, "Uncle Wang, can you help me move a stool?" ”
Steward Wang silently went to move the stool.
The villagers had retreated to a safe position, looking at the people of the Leng family with fierce eyes, but they did not dare to make the slightest movement in their hands.
Xue Rou sneered and hooked the corners of her mouth, people, they are all bullying the soft and afraid of the hard.
She sat down on the stool with a loud voice, still crossing Erlang's legs, with a cold expression, "Can we talk now?" ”
The village chief dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, "Miss Xue, are you sure that you are sitting and we are standing, we can talk?" Can you show any attitude? ”
Xue Rou smiled and waved her hand, "The stool is taken from the house, if you need it, please take care of yourself." ”
The village chief snorted coldly, "No need. ”
Someone whispered, "Village Chief, why did you let her?" It's clear that she poisoned us, and now she's so arrogant! ”
Xue Rou's ears were sharp, and she heard it, "Who said that we poisoned it?" Is there any evidence? ”
"Not who are you?"
Xue Rou asked, "Then I want to ask, why didn't we detect that the well water was toxic two days ago, and today you went to bring it over, it was poisonous?" I suspect that you secretly poisoned us! ”
The man was in a hurry, "You! ”
Xue Rou smiled, "Can you talk properly now?" ”
She looked at the village chief, "Village chief, you heard me clearly. You don't have any evidence that we poisoned us, and we can also suspect that you yourself poisoned us. If we can't find evidence of a balance between the two sides, then I don't think we'll be able to stalemate like this, and it won't do anyone any good. The most important thing is to get things settled, right? Quarrels are not a good solution. ”
The village chief thought about it and felt that what she said made sense. Although the villagers believed that it was Leng Tianyi's poisoning, there was really no evidence that Leng Tianyi personally poisoned him, and so far it can only be regarded as suspicion.
The village chief said, "Miss Xue, what you said makes sense. But I also want to hear what you have to say about solving this problem? ”
Xue Rou pressed her forehead, "Speaking of which, it's just the poisoning of the people of Wangjia Village." To be honest, we don't know who poisoned it, but we can be sure that it wasn't us. As for whether it is aimed at you or our Leng family, I can't catch it for the time being. How about getting rid of your poison first? ”
"If it is really our poisoning, why do we poison and detoxify you, isn't this inconsistent? If we get rid of the poison, can we be considered to be able to clear our suspicions? ”
The village chief said, "But you have tried to detoxify before, but it has not been fruitful for a long time, and the condition is getting worse and worse." Even if you want to detoxify again to prove your innocence, it will not come by you as before. ”
Xue Rou said, "Then if you have any requirements, you can just mention them." ”
The village chief said, "Well, I won't embarrass you." But we can't let you do anything like we did before, and we're only going to give you three days this time. In three days, if you can successfully develop an antidote and help the people in our village detoxify, then even if your suspicions are cleared, Leng Tianyi will be innocent. But if after three days, you can't detoxify, but drag on time, then we absolutely believe in what is said. ”
And what the rumor has Leng done himself, I believe he also knows it in his heart. Although our village is poor, it is definitely not the kind that is bullied by others. At that time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Master Leng to continue to open a medical hall in the entire town. ”
