Chapter 6: Take a Smoke to Calm Down
"He... he’s out!"
Hearing Granny Zhang’s words, Liu Ruyan unintentionally looked over to Liu Zixuan, but unexpectedly, she saw the man who was on the brink of death, walking out on his own!
Everyone’s faces were filled with shock and disbelief!
A person who was hanging on by a thread ready to die, even if healed, surely couldn’t get out of bed and walk around so soon!
But this person not only was cured by Liu Zixuan, he walked out looking rosy and full of energy.
Liu Ruyan’s face immediately bloomed like a flower with excitement, forgetting that she was a young lady, she went straight ahead and hugged Liu Zixuan, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"This is great, the village’s nightmare is coming to an end!"
Liu Ruyan also quickly realized, blushing, she walked aside to talk to Doudou’s mother and daughter.
Granny Zhang, however, had a look of disbelief on her face. That man wasn’t sick at all; she had personally poisoned him, and the poison had already invaded his internal organs. How could it have been cured in just half an hour?
Immediately, with a gloomy face, she shouted, "What’s there to be happy about? Who knows if this young fool used some evil technique to bring that man back to life!"
As her words fell, people nearby also looked over, their initial smiles halted for a moment, especially the two women behind Granny Zhang who came over and asked, "That can’t be impossible, Granny Zhang. Look how strong that man seems. Moreover, healing him is a good thing, why don’t you seem happy?"
"Shut up!" Granny Zhang coldly snapped, and looked at Liu Zixuan: "Tell me, did you use some kind of evil technique?"
"Evil my ass."
Liu Zixuan immediately cursed back, addressing the man beside him: "Go over and let this old lady have a look. Is it a semblance of life or what!"
The man nodded and in two steps reached Granny Zhang’s side, grabbed her by the collar, "You wicked woman, I became like this because I drank the water you gave me. Liu the Miracle Doctor just told me, I wasn’t sick at all, but poisoned!"
"Bullshit!" Granny Zhang swore, immediately about to retort.
But Liu Zixuan swiftly came over, grabbed Granny Zhang’s hand, and with his other hand, took a glass bottle from her pocket.
"Even if he was farting, the stench would kill you." Then he shook the glass bottle in his hand: "Do I need to explain what’s in this?"
"This is the divine water I sought after!" Granny Zhang argued.
Liu Zixuan sneered, "If it’s divine water, then drink it in front of everyone."
"I... I don’t want to drink!" Granny Zhang’s eyes were dodging a bit.
"Don’t want to or don’t dare to?" Liu Zixuan mockingly asked.
"Granny Zhang, what’s going on here?"
Liu Ruyan also sensed that something was wrong, suddenly remembering how Liu Zixuan looked at her with peculiar eyes when he first walked out the room. Thinking about it now, that was probably when he wanted to tell her it wasn’t sickness but poison!
Granny Zhang, held by two men, knew there was no way to escape, so she put on a defiant look, coldly snorting to Liu Ruyan: "Lingxiu Village is mine, what right do you, an outsider, have to be the village chief!"
"But you can’t use such a poisonous way to harm others." Liu Ruyan said angrily.
"You were sent by the government. If I directly attacked you, I’d surely be held accountable. And when you just assumed office you wanted to get men for the village to form families, I thought of using this way to apply pressure on you, thinking that if all these men died, you, as the village head, wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressure and would leave Lingxiu Village."
Granny Zhang took a deep breath, glaring viciously at Liu Zixuan: "I didn’t expect to be defeated by a youngster like you in the end!"
"Granny Zhang, you overpraise me." Liu Zixuan said with a meaningful smile.
"Truly evil!" Liu Ruyan exclaimed, stomping her foot, and yelled to Doudou’s mother nearby, "Help me call the police, such malevolent people must be punished by law."
"It’s true what they say, the most poisonous is a woman’s heart." Liu Zixuan said, watching Liu Ruyan’s angry expression and taking a glance at Granny Zhang’s sinister face, he couldn’t help but laugh.
But as soon as he said this, all the women around turned their gaze on him.
Liu Zixuan pursed his lips, "Um, you all carry on."
After saying that, he pulled along the man nearby, "Buddy, just recovered from illness, let’s have a smoke to calm down."
The man turned, grabbing Liu Zixuan’s hand, "Liu the Miracle Doctor, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, I might have died in this lousy village. I’ll skip the smoke; I’m leaving here."
"Leaving?" Liu Zixuan paused: "There are beautiful women all over the mountains, this place is known as the Women’s Country, are you willing to leave this paradise?"
"Unwilling or not, I must leave." The man gave a wry smile: "I originally came to enjoy this paradise, but I narrowly escaped death. I’m really scared now. I don’t have much on me, nothing to give you, but my home is in Yuqing Town just ahead. If Liu the Miracle Doctor ever comes by, I will definitely prepare a grand gift to repay your life-saving grace."
With that, the man resolutely left.
"Another man has left." A woman nearby murmured.
"Luckily another man has come, and he’s quite a handsome young fellow."
"Don’t try to steal him from me."
Liu Zixuan’s ears were filled with these sounds, and he grinned, sitting aside and lighting a cigarette. Before long, the police arrived, ready to take Granny Zhang away after understanding the situation from Liu Ruyan.
Granny Zhang gave a sly smile, looking at Liu Ruyan, "My dear village chief, don’t think you’ll have a good life with that man around. I’m telling you, your suffering is just beginning!"
"What do you mean!" Liu Ruyan frowned and asked.
"I better not say, else these two officers might charge me with threats!" Granny Zhang said before getting in the car and leaving with the police.
Liu Ruyan’s face turned somewhat pale, muttering, "Could Granny Zhang have more schemes up her sleeve?"
"What schemes or plots." Liu Zixuan came over and laughed, "She’s like an old toad, even when about to die, she still wants to disgust you one last time before leaving."
"Hopefully." Liu Ruyan forced a smile, "Thank you so much today, not only did you save someone, but you also solved such a big problem for the village."
"Hehe." Liu Zixuan scratched the back of his head; "Saying thanks with words doesn’t mean much, give me something real."
"What real thing do you want?"
"You said earlier, if I healed, I could find a wife in the village..."
"Who are you planning to find then?"
"Ruyan sister, I’m interested in you..." Liu Zixuan rubbed his hands, smiling cheekily.
