Chapter 865
Perhaps because his gaze was too oppressive, the crowd that had been noisy just a moment ago quieted down instantly under his stare.
Looking at the crowd, Chen Ang asked: "Who among you is his family?"
Hearing his words, everyone subconsciously cast their eyes on a woman.
The woman stood in front, still holding a child by the hand. Feeling everyone's gaze, she was slightly uneasy. After subconsciously pulling the child tighter, she answered Chen Ang: "I am his wife."
"Do you know about his poisoning?"
As soon as Chen Ang's words were asked, the woman's eyes turned red.
"I know, it was the previous wave of treasure hunters who poisoned him. We saw a doctor and took a lot of herbs, but the poison was never completely cleared."
After the woman's voice fell, the man beside her stepped forward, looking at Chen Ang with hostility and said: "Don't think you can fool us here just because you know a little medicine. If it weren't for you treasure hunters, our village chief wouldn't have been poisoned! You always try to get close to us and then use us to find the things you want, and even use our lives to exchange for these things. We have all experienced this and seen through it. We will not allow such things to happen again!"
"Right, for the sake of the treasures you speak of, many people in our village have already died. We don't welcome you, get out immediately!"
Just as the crowd was about to make a scene again, Chen Ang firmly stretched out his hands and pressed them down gently.
"Everyone, calm down. I know you must have experienced a lot, which is why you are so impatient now. But I can guarantee you that I am different from them. I will not use any of you, nor will I pry for information from you. To be precise, our arrival will not affect you at all, and I can also clear the poison from his body."
As soon as Chen Ang's words were spoken, the village chief's wife's eyes lit up instantly.
With tears in her eyes, she went up, her hands trembling slightly.
"You... what you said just now is true?"
"Yes, don't worry, I can guarantee it with my own head, I can clear his poison."
As soon as Chen Ang's voice fell, the village chief's wife's tears fell like broken beads, string after string, which made people feel unbearable.
When her tears paused, the village chief's wife looked at Chen Ang and asked: "Do you have any conditions for clearing the poison for my husband?"
Hearing her ask the main point, Chen Ang nodded.
"There are conditions. My condition is that I can move freely in Li Family Village. I don't need to get any information from you, nor do I need any of you to lead the way. You just need to let me find the things I want here, and if I really find them, I want to take them away."
After carefully pondering Chen Ang's conditions, the woman turned to look at the crowd with tears in her eyes.
After her gaze swept around, she suddenly knelt on the ground.
This action startled everyone, and they subconsciously wanted to come forward to help her up.
Sensing the crowd's actions, she hurriedly pushed them away with her hands.
"Everyone, my husband is the village chief of Li Family Village. The poison back then was also to protect Li Family Village. For so many years, everyone has seen his care for Li Family Village. Our family has never asked anyone for anything, but today I want to beg you, beg you to agree to this young master's request and let him clear the poison for my husband. I beg you all!"
Just as the woman wanted to kowtow, an old man grabbed her.
After holding her, he looked up at Chen Ang again.
"Young man, what you said just now is true? You really have a way to clear his poison?"
Hearing his question, Chen Ang nodded seriously: "What I said is all true, I have a way to clear the poison from his body."
After receiving a positive answer again, the old man said loudly: "Everyone, the village chief has contributed a lot to our Li Family Village, and he solves every family's problems. Now that he has encountered trouble, we cannot stand idly by. Besides, this young man's request is not excessive. He doesn't ask us to lead the way, nor does he ask us to talk. I think it's okay, what do you think?"
After the old man's words were spoken, many elderly people nodded one after another.
They had been in Li Family Village for a long time, and they saw and remembered everything. Now that the most prestigious person in Li Family Village had spoken, they naturally wanted to save the village chief's life.
Under their leadership, the crowd finally relented.
Seeing everyone nodding, Chen Ang let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
Actually, he was quite fortunate. He was fortunate that the village chief was so angry that the poison attacked his heart, which gave him the opportunity to enter Li Family Village. Otherwise, with the attitude of the people in Li Family Village just now, he would definitely not have been able to enter the village. Moreover, the poison on the village chief was not very difficult to clear, which could be considered as giving him a chance.
As everyone nodded, the old man looked at Chen Ang seriously and said: "Young man, if you can clear the poison from the village chief's body, then we will agree to your conditions. But if you can't clear it, then you take your people and leave. Don't make us say more, so as not to make things look bad. And if you dare to harm the village chief, we won't let you leave this place. Do you understand?"
Understanding what he meant, Chen Ang agreed.
"Everyone, rest assured, I have no malicious intent, and what I have said is true. I will do my best to clear the poison for the village chief. If you are worried, the medicinal materials can be provided by you."
As soon as he said this, the old man nodded immediately: "Good, then we will provide the medicinal materials, and you provide the craftsmanship. That's settled. Someone, go and clean up the ancestral hall in the east. Let them stay there for the next two days."
Looking at the slightly dilapidated ancestral hall, Chen Ang turned to ask Huang Yu: "The conditions here are not very good, will you be okay?"
Hearing his words, Huang Yu smiled: "I'm not some high official or noble, I don't need to be served in a good mansion. What's wrong with it?"
"As long as you have no problem."
"No problem, when you're out and about, sleeping in the open is normal. Besides, there's a house to stay in now, which is not bad."
Hearing his answer, Chen Ang also smiled.
He had bought Huang Yu's mansion, which was meticulously arranged, elegant, and interesting. Moreover, Huang Yu's current mansion was better than his, and now he had to live in an ancestral hall. He was afraid Huang Yu wouldn't be able to stand it, but fortunately, he wasn't a pretentious person and didn't care much about these things, which made him feel much more relaxed.
"Alright, we've been walking for so long, everyone must be tired. Let everyone rest for a while."
After settling everyone down, Chen Ang began to rummage through his pouch.
Seeing that he had no intention of resting, Wan Shitong hurriedly came to his side.
"Boss, aren't you going to rest?"
"No rest, I have to go to the village chief's place. He is currently in a coma and hasn't woken up yet, so he must be treated. Otherwise, if the poison is on his heart and he remains in a coma, I'm afraid the poison will go deeper. Since we have already promised others that we will clear the poison, we should start as soon as possible."
Knowing his plan, Wan Shitong hurriedly said: "Boss, I'll go with you, it just so happens I can help you."
After pausing his movements, Chen Ang nodded: "Okay, then you come with me."
As soon as his voice fell, Huang Yu also got up from the side: "Chen Ang, I'll go with you too."
As soon as he finished speaking, the others who had just rested also stood up one after another.
"Boss, we're not tired either, let's all go with you."
Looking at the crowd standing before him, Chen Ang was somewhat between laughter and tears.
"I'm just going to the village chief's house, why are so many of you following me? The people in Li Family Village are still not at ease with us and are still keeping an eye on us. If we all go over together, they will definitely worry again, it's not necessary."
After speaking, Chen Ang looked at Wan Shitong and Huang Yu and said to them: "You two come with me, the others rest where they are."
Chen Ang had spoken, so the others naturally obeyed and sat back down reluctantly.
Half an incense stick of time later, the three of them appeared again.
Under the guidance of the villagers, they found the village chief's house all the way.
As soon as they entered the door, the village chief's son ran out.
Standing in front of Chen Ang, he looked up at him with big eyes.
"Are you here to help my dad clear the poison?"
Looking at his blinking big eyes, Chen Ang nodded with a smile: "Yes, we are here to clear the poison for your dad, can we go in?"
"Yes, my mom said you would come today, she is boiling water for you. But you can't drink our water for nothing. Since you promised to clear the poison for my dad, you must keep your word, otherwise I won't let you off."
Listening to these milky words, all three of them were amused.
With a smile on his face, Chen Ang promised seriously: "I promise you I will clear the poison for your dad, and I will definitely keep my word. If I don't do it, you can use your little slingshot to hit me."
Looking down at his slingshot, the little boy also nodded vigorously.
Sitting on the chair, Chen Ang placed his fingers on the village chief's wrist again.
After feeling it carefully, he looked up and asked the village chief's wife: "Have the medicinal materials been sent over?"
Hearing his words, the village chief's wife laboriously moved a box over.
"A part has already been sent, and another part is on the way, it should be here soon."
"Wan Shitong, open the box and take a look."
Hearing his words, Wan Shitong hurriedly stepped forward, opened the box, and checked it carefully.
Seeing two of the medicinal materials, he showed a hint of hesitation on his face.
Seeing this, Huang Yu stepped forward, took the two medicinal materials from his hand to check, and then asked in a low voice: "Are there any problems with the other medicinal materials?"
"No, they are all normal, it's just these two that I'm not sure about."
"It's okay, these two are also normal, they are just relatively rare."
After speaking, Huang Yu said to Chen Ang: "There's no problem with the medicinal materials, what do you need? I'll help you get it."
Seeing his confident appearance, Chen Ang was a bit surprised. He didn't expect Huang Yu to actually recognize these medicinal materials.
Seeing the surprise in his eyes, Huang Yu smiled, reached out and patted his chest, looking like you can trust me.
Understanding what he meant, Chen Ang directly reported the names of the medicines.
Listening to the names he said, Huang Yu found the medicinal materials one by one. In just a moment, a prescription was ready.
After arranging these medicines neatly in front of Chen Ang, Huang Yu pointed to the empty space and said: "Now there are only two medicinal materials missing."
