“Husband, didn’t Ah Ping come to tell you yesterday that those outsiders went to the mountain? Could it be that they stole the Deity Stone?” The village chief’s wife suggested.
The village chief frowned.
Those outsiders stole the Deity Stone?
Why did he feel that it sounded rather far-fetched?
There was miasma near the temple. Whenever the people in their village wanted to go there, they had to take a special prescription in advance to prevent themselves from getting affected.
Moreover, the divine beast in the temple was fed by the villagers and was also under the Deity Stone’s influence. It was pretty formidable. How did those outsiders successfully bypass the miasma and destroy the divine beast?
There was no way ordinary people could destroy the divine beast. The village chief knew this very well.
“Village chief, what are you still considering?! It must be those outsiders!” The witch doctor slammed the table and stood up. He said excitedly, “I already knew that they weren’t good people. Why did they come to our village for no reason? Tourism? We don’t even have a phone signal here, what’s so fun about that?! They must have come for the Deity Stone! What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call for help, let’s go get the Deity Stone back!”
The village chief came back to his senses and said to his wife and Liu San, “Go and call for help. Quietly. Don’t alert the enemy.”
They nodded and ran out of the hall.
“We don’t have any evidence now, so we have to ask them first.” The village chief still did not want to offend Chi Jiao. He also did not want to see the witch doctor’s smug face. He could tell that the witch doctor was definitely using this opportunity to take revenge on those outsiders. “Witch doctor, I advise you to calm down first. Don’t abuse your position to avenge private wrongs. Let’s not rush to a hasty conclusion before we clarify the matter. What if that girl is really the new messenger personally selected by the Evil Deity? If we do anything to her and offend the Evil Deity, neither you nor I can bear the Evil Deity’s wrath, understand?”
He was trying to bring some rationality to the witch doctor.
The witch doctor glanced at him with a dark expression. “Are you teaching me how to do my thing?”
The village chief lowered his eyes to cover the cold glint that flashed across them. “I wouldn’t dare.”
“Hmph, if those people really took the Divine Stone, I will never let them off! Don’t think that just because you’re the village chief, you can order me around. You have no right to decide everything in this village!” With that, the witch doctor strode out of the room.
Watching the witch doctor leave, a cold glint flashed across the village chief’s eyes.

After half an hour, Beitang Lie’s fever had subsided.
He opened his eyes slowly and looked at Pei Yao, who was sitting by the brick bed.
He moved his lips to speak but felt a dry pain in his throat. He couldn’t help letting out a muffled groan.
His groan attracted Pei Yao’s attention. She turned to look at Beitang Lie. Seeing that he had opened his eyes, she smiled. “Beitang Lie, you finally woke up!”
Her tone was filled with joy.
“What happened to me? Why did you tie me up?” Beitang Lie’s madness was intermittent. At this moment, his mind was clear.
But he could no longer remember what had happened.
Chi Jiao closed the book she was reading and looked at him. “You were allergic to the miasma and went crazy just now.. So, we tied you up.”
