Chapter 852: Chapter 854: Enforcing Clan Rules
It was completely unexpected for Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming that things would develop like this. Now, there’s no other option but to wait for the doctor to arrive, hoping the doctor can cure the villagers quickly so they can leave this place.
Anding Village is a remote mountainous place, and the road to town is quite far. What’s more, the person who went to invite the doctor didn’t use a carriage, so by the time they brought the doctor back, it was already the next day.
During this period, Xiaoxiao also advised Shitou’s mother not to go out to avoid contracting the strange disease.
A few people obediently waited in the small courtyard, waiting for the doctor’s diagnosis.
Finally, by noon the next day, the group led by the Village Chief arrived.
Inside the house, Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming heard the commotion and hurried out. When they saw the people, their hearts sank, for the expressions on the villagers’ faces were still full of anger, indicating that the doctor’s diagnosis was not promising.
Sure enough, as the two stepped out, they heard the villagers shouting at them.
"It’s all their fault, they brought evil spirits to this village."
"No need for the government office, let’s use the clan rules to burn them with fire."
"Yes, Village Chief, use the clan rules."
"..."
"..."
Well, they weren’t blamed for being malicious this time, but for bringing evil spirits.
Xiaoxiao never imagined the village was so backward, not only superstitious but also having clan rules that involved cremation. She couldn’t die in such a place; if her fellow time-travelers knew, they’d laugh their heads off.
At this moment, Yang Ming still shielded his wife behind him, speaking with a cold expression, "Village Chief, can everyone speak calmly? This won’t solve the problem. Is it that the doctor’s diagnosis isn’t ideal? We can sit down and talk it over, and think of another solution."
"What other solution? Cremate them to burn away the evil spirits."
"Exactly, don’t leave them. And those two jinxes, burn them as well; they brought the evil spirits to this village."
"..."
"..."
Hearing the villagers’ words, Xiaoxiao was almost furious to the point of spitting blood. She shouted, "A bunch of ignorant people, what good will burning us do? You’ll still get sick and die. Instead of curing the illness, you’re engaging in such nonsense. What kind of crappy doctor is that, who can’t cure your illnesses? Hurry and find another doctor; what’s the point of yelling here? Will shouting cure the disease?"
But ignorance is ignorance; the villagers didn’t believe her. "Humph, after burning you, our sickness will naturally get better."
"Yes, it’s all the evil spirits you brought, burning it away will make things better."
"..."
"..."
Xiaoxiao, enraged again, burst out, "A bunch of idiots. If you keep this up, wasting medical time, you’re just waiting to die."
Xiaoxiao looked at those people and questioned, "Aren’t you afraid of death? Are you willing to watch your family die?"
When it comes to death, no one isn’t afraid. Moreover, they have so many bumps on their bodies, which are very itchy, further fueling their fear. The villagers began to whisper among themselves at Xiaoxiao’s words.
"I don’t want to die."
"I don’t want to die either."
"If we burn them, we won’t die."
"..."
"..."
At this moment, Yang Ming also sneered, "Village Chief, you’re the head of a village, can you really be as ignorant as them and truly believe that burning us will cure their illness?"
