326 How Could You Be So Merciless?

“Lil’ Zhang, don’t be too arrogant in front of the lords.” The old village chief was rather fearful and hurriedly warned hunter Zhang.

Hunter Zhang had already restrained himself a lot. He was only a common person and was not so arrogant that he dared to fight with the people of the imperial court. However, he could not help but feel dissatisfied in his heart, and his tone was filled with resentment. “I didn’t say anything wrong, and I didn’t want to provoke anyone. However, we are all fine, and you still locked us up here. Aren’t you being too unreasonable?”

After hearing this, the other villagers nodded their heads in agreement.

Hunter Zhang’s words were exactly what they wanted to say.

If all of them had fallen ill, it would have been fine, but none of them had fallen ill. It could be seen that the plague wasn’t as terrifying as it sounded.

“An illness like the cadaveric rash won’t appear immediately after falling ill, and everyone’s symptoms aren’t exactly the same. For example, Tie Daniu was young and energetic. His reaction after being sick was not as intense as his mother, Lady Liu. In addition, he managed to control himself in time and was able to get out of bed and walk. For the sake of safety, I will observe everyone for at least seven days. After seven days, when there are no patients infected with the plague in the village, I will agree to lift the closure of the village,” Gu Qingxue said slowly.

“Aren’t you being too overbearing? I refuse to accept it.” The middle-aged village woman was afraid of the prince and the county master, but she was not afraid of a woman. As she spoke, she reached out her hand and grabbed Gu Qingxue’s collar.

The old village chief let out a long sigh and stepped forward to grab the village woman. “Madam Peng, Stop fooling around!”

Madam Peng rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction and struggled hard. “Village chief, don’t mind me.”

However, what Madam Peng did not expect was that her struggle actually caused the old village chief to fall to the ground.

The old village chief did not know where he was thrown. After he fell to the ground, he raised his head and breathed heavily.

The old village chief’s appearance frightened everyone present. Hunter Zhang and the others quickly ran to the old village chief’s side to check on his condition.

The old village chief panted heavily. He looked extremely weak, which calmed everyone down quite a bit.

“Madam Peng, why did you hit him so hard? If anything happens to the village chief, I won’t let you off.” Hunter Zhang Glared at Madam Peng discontentedly.

Although the villagers of Tie Family Village had been forced into a corner and did not want to listen to the old village chief’s words and endure any longer, the old village chief had always taken care of them, so they were all in awe of him.

Madam Peng was also a little flustered. She stood on the spot, not knowing what to do. “I, I didn’t use any strength either. How could I have known that it would turn out like this…”

Gu Qingxue witnessed this scene, and a bad feeling rose in her heart. “Let go of him first!”

Before Gu Qingxue could finish her words, the people who were surrounding the old village chief saw his body suddenly tremble, and then he opened his mouth and vomited.

Everyone was shocked by this scene. Some of them could not even dodge in time and the vomit got splashed all over their bodies.

All the people at the scene took a step back, looking at the old village chief in disbelief.

The ominous feeling in their hearts came true. Gu Qingxue walked forward quickly with a frown, easily climbing over the barbed wire fence, and went straight for the old village chief.

After the old village chief finished vomiting, he looked as if he had lost all his strength. He raised his head and panted heavily, his expression full of pain, and his face flushed red at a visible speed.

Gu Qingque walked up to the old village chief and put on a mask for him without saying a word. Sge rolled up the old village chief’s sleeve and saw that his arm was covered with small acne. The unique smell of acne swept over the old village chief. The acne on the old village chief’s body showed signs of festering, which surprised everyone present.
