Chapter 856: Chapter 858: A Suspicious Man Enters the Village
But it was already too late to escape, because the villagers quickly arrived at Little Shitou’s yard.
Once they were in the yard, the Village Chief gave an order, "Tie them all up."
"Okay." The villagers were very energetic.
Seeing this, Yang Ming hurriedly protected his wife, who was holding their child, behind him. He glared angrily at the villagers and shouted, "I dare you to try."
This shout really startled the villagers, and they didn’t dare to move forward. Yang Ming seized the moment to question, "Village Chief, you broke your promise. You said that as long as their illness was cured, you would let us go. What is this now?"
Hearing Yang Ming’s questioning, the Village Chief stepped forward and said harshly, "I did say that, but now it’s confirmed, no one can cure the villagers’ illness, so you all must be cremated."
After he finished speaking, the Village Chief gave another order, "Tie them up."
Yang Ming waved his large hand, "Hold on."
"Village Chief, couldn’t the doctor in the County diagnose it either?"
The Village Chief’s face was gloomy, and he didn’t reply, implying agreement. The villagers, however, began to lose patience.
"Village Chief, why waste words with them, hurry up and cremate them, then everyone’s strange illness will be cured."
"Exactly, it’s all their fault. If not for them coming to the village, how could everyone end up like this?"
"Now outsiders think we have the plague, and no one dares to come here, all because of the evil aura they brought."
"Burn them."
"Burn them."
"..."
"..."
From the villagers’ words, Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao roughly understood that the strange illness in this village had spread out, causing no doctor to be willing to come and treat them and avoiding them like the plague.
The villagers’ incitement made the Village Chief give the order again, "Tie them up."
The villagers advanced toward Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao again. At this time, Yang Ming was preparing for a fight, thinking that if worse came to worst, he would hold the Village Chief hostage — even if it meant taking the Village Chief with them, they had to leave this village.
Xiaoxiao, behind him, was very afraid Yang Ming would suffer, so she shouted, "Everyone wait a minute, I have another way."
"What solution do you have?"
"Don’t listen to him, everyone."
"Attack together."
"..."
"..."
Just as both sides were about to fight again, suddenly they heard a villager running in while shouting, "Village Chief, it’s not good, it’s not good."
Hearing the voice, everyone in the yard stopped what they were doing and looked towards the person who had come. The villager, panting heavily, ran in front of the Village Chief and continued, "Village Chief, it’s not good, we found a suspicious person in the village."
With this news, everyone became panicked. In this current situation, any person entering the village couldn’t be let go. It was these outsiders who brought the evil aura to the village.
"Where?" the Village Chief asked coldly.
"We’ve already caught him." As soon as he finished speaking, they saw several villagers pressing a man into the yard, "Village Chief, it’s him, sneaking around in our village, we caught him."
"Who are you? What are you doing in our village? What are your intentions?" the Village Chief immediately asked.
The man being pressed down had an innocent expression and babbled, "Oh my, why did you catch me? It’s killing me with worry. I’m just passing through. Who’s sneaking around? Intentions? What’s in your village that I could want? Are there beauties or are there beauties?"
