Chapter 864: Chapter 866: Cremation Suspended
Faced with the Village Chief’s disbelief, Xiaoxiao smiled. How could their family of three be considered people with evil spirits? They were the ones bringing luck to this village. Without them, would the rules of the Medicine King Valley have changed?
If the rules of the Medicine King Valley had not changed, these people would have nowhere to treat their strange illness. They were simply the saviors of everyone.
"Village Chief, the rules of the Medicine King Valley have indeed changed. Now you can enter without a letter. Hurry up and go, you’ll be saved if you go. If you stay here, you can only wait for death."
"This..." The Village Chief was somewhat skeptical of Xiaoxiao’s words. Could it have been made up to deceive them and avoid being burned by the fire?
"Village Chief, I’m a straightforward person. I’m not trying to scare everyone. I’m just stating the facts. Everyone with that strange illness, no one knows how many more days they can live. What if there are only a few days left? In my opinion, you shouldn’t wait in the village anymore. Every day waited is dangerous. The sick should hurry to the Medicine King Valley."
"The doctors at the Medicine King Valley have treated so many difficult and complex diseases. They will definitely be able to cure everyone’s strange illness. Everyone cannot give up. You absolutely mustn’t wait for death. This is a life and death matter, and no one wants to die, right?"
Xiaoxiao’s words left the villagers present unsure of what to do. They all looked to the Village Chief. After a moment, the Village Chief finally spoke, "We need to discuss this matter first."
After speaking, the Village Chief walked away with some people. It can be believed that these people were also influential in the village. If even they couldn’t be persuaded, she really wouldn’t know what to do.
Her eyes turned to Yang Ming, but Yang Ming gave her a reassuring look unexpectedly. Huh? What was he planning to do?
Yang Ming had indeed been waiting for an opportunity. If his wife couldn’t persuade those villagers, and they still wanted to burn them, he would then find a chance to break free and then take the Village Chief hostage. Even if it caused a death, he would take his wife and son away from here.
After a moment, the Village Chief returned with those people. Presumably, they had reached a decision. The Village Chief said, "Everyone has decided to try going to the Medicine King Valley."
Hearing these words, Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up. Finally, they had convinced everyone. This means they wouldn’t be burned, right?
"As for cremation..."
At the mention of cremation, Xiaoxiao’s heart leaped to her throat. These people couldn’t be so heartless, could they?
"We’ll pause on that. For now, you should stay at Little Shitou’s house. No one should think of running away. Wait for the people going to the Medicine King Valley to return. Who knows if your news is accurate or if you’re deceiving us to escape."
"..." These people were overly suspicious and ignorant. It was already fortunate to have convinced them not to go for cremation. So Xiaoxiao agreed first, "Alright, we’ll wait at Little Shitou’s house. The news is definitely accurate. The rules of the Medicine King Valley have changed. Hurry up and go, seek treatment as soon as possible."
The Village Chief shouted to everyone at the large square, "Everyone heard what was just said, right? Those who are ill, set off now to the Medicine King Valley. Go early and come back early."
Xiaoxiao thought this Village Chief finally made a smart decision by accepting her suggestion and sending all the sick people to the Medicine King Valley. Matters of life and death can’t be delayed; you can’t just send a few and then bring back medicine. What if this illness is very urgent, and they die before anyone returns?
Just like that, the square suddenly had half the people missing.
