Gu Qingsheng then walked out of the room. The village chief looked at her, then looked at the direction where Liu Yanqiu had just come out. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he understood something. He nodded with a subtle look in his eyes and said to Aunt Li:
"Let's go, let's go, don't waste time!"
Aunt Li then took Xiaofu and followed the village chief. Gu Qingsheng and Liu Yanqiu looked at each other and then followed.
There were already a lot of people gathered at Fan Qiang's door, pointing and talking at Fan Qiang inside, but no one showed any sympathy.
Perhaps it was because Fan Qiang had done so many evil things in his daily life that his death did not cause any impact on the villagers, so everyone just treated it as a spectacle. Some even thought it was best if Fan Qiang died, so that they could save themselves a lot of exploitation.
Aunt Li and the village chief arrived slowly. Aunt Li pressed Xiaofu's head onto her shoulder, trying to prevent him from seeing the bloody scene. However, she almost vomited when she saw Fan Qiang.
Fan Qiang was lying on the ground. His body, which looked strong a while ago, was now completely devoid of flesh. Only some skeletons were left with skin hanging on them, and his face looked as horrible as a hole.
He looked very healthy during the day, except for his slightly sallow complexion. How could he suddenly become like this in just one afternoon?
Gu Qingsheng and Liu Yanqiu rushed here. Wen Yu was beside Fan Qiang, frowning and looking at him.
"He's dead."
Liu Yanqiu was stunned when he saw this scene. He never thought that Fan Qiang would die in this way. No matter what, the two of them played together when they were young. Although they went their separate ways after growing up, he didn't want to see his former friend die in such a tragic way.
"this……"
It's impossible to lose this much weight in just one afternoon.
Someone in the crowd murmured
"It's not the plague..."
However, this sentence also caused a lot of controversy, and the villagers began to panic because of this sentence.
If it really was a plague, their secluded little village would certainly not be spared.
Normally, Bian Fishing Village is isolated from the outside world. If there is a plague, even if all the villagers die, it may not spread outside.
Seeing those people started to quarrel, the village chief was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
"What nonsense! How could it be a plague? This has never happened in our village!"
"Village Chief, this is hard to say."
A villager said with a worried look on his face
"It might not have happened before, but that doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. Now Fan Qiang's death looks so strange. If it really happened, wouldn't we be in trouble?"
As he spoke, he began to get scared, rubbed his hands, took a few steps back, and covered his mouth and nose.
"I'd better go home quickly. Early prevention is better than anything else."
It seemed like a wake-up call for everyone. They all felt a chill when looking at Fan Qiang lying on the ground, and they all took steps to leave.
Many people left at once, and there was panic everywhere. Even Aunt Li took two steps back while holding Xiaofu.
"It won't be a plague."
Wen Yu spoke.
"He died suddenly. He had diarrhea before he died. He even asked me for some herbal medicine. There must be a reason why he lost so much weight..."
He was still looking for the wounds on Fan Qiang's body, but the people around him gradually quieted down and slowed down their pace after hearing Wen Yu's words.
The village chief said there would be no plague, but that is not credible. After all, this old man knows nothing.
But if it was Wen Yu who said it, then it would be very credible.
"It's not the plague? Then how did Doctor Wen become like this? It was so sudden."
A villager came up to Wen Yu and asked.
However, even Wen Yu obviously couldn't answer this question.
Gu Qingsheng lowered her eyes. No matter how noisy they were, she didn't move at all.
Fan Qiang's condition was all his own fault. She had smeared a poisonous insect on the jade pendant she had given him, but the poison only caused him to have diarrhea.
The reason he was in this state now was entirely because of taking the wrong herbs. In Miao Lanlan's opinion, there were at least more than twenty kinds of herbs in Fan Qiang's body, and the mixing of the medicinal properties of the herbs caused his sudden death.
Fan Qiang died abruptly. No matter how miserable his death was, the villagers thought that as long as it was not a plague, it had nothing to do with them.
Wen Yu wanted to continue investigating, but the village chief waved his hand.
"This is all his fate. This child lost his parents early and has a rebellious personality. He refused to be adopted by others. It's inevitable that he will have such a situation when he grows up alone and drifts with the crowd."
"The current situation is just taking back his merits. Let's leave it at that. No need to investigate."
He instructed some villagers to wrap the body in straw mats and then throw it into the cemetery in the back mountain of the village.
Fan Qiang was mainly a debt collector and had some property left at home. When the village chief handed the remaining silver and jade pendant to Aunt Li, Aunt Li waved her hands repeatedly.
"You can't do this, Village Chief! No, no!"
"Li family, it's okay. This is all the money that Old Li worked hard to earn. You should accept it. It's our fault. Fan Qiang usually makes things difficult for your family, and we can't help."
"This jade pendant belongs to that girl. You should return it."
After some hesitation, Aunt Li accepted the jade pendant and silver.
The door of Fan Qiang's house in front of him was locked forever. The arrogant and domineering man completely disappeared from this world today.
Everyone was worried along the way, and Liu Yanqiu's eyes were filled with gloom. Too many things happened that day, and he looked exhausted.
Xiaofu fell asleep in Aunt Li's arms. It was already dawn. When they arrived at the door, Aunt Li handed the jade pendant to Gu Qingsheng and smiled a little forcedly.
"Although this is not auspicious, you should still take this jade pendant. Please don't despise it."
This jade pendant was originally given to Gu Qingsheng by Prince Duan to protect her from disaster. It has been a long time and the disaster is thought to have passed.
It's useless to carry it now, so I pushed Aunt Li's hand back.
"It's okay, Aunt Li. It's no use to me now. Just think of it as keeping it for me. Take it."
After hearing what Gu Qingsheng said, Aunt Li couldn't refuse. She stammered for a long time and sighed.
"Okay, girl, I'll keep it for you first, and you can ask me for more anytime."
Seeing Liu Yanqiu remained silent, Aunt Li patted his back.
"Don't think too much about it. This might be a good thing for Qiangzi. He can go there to find his parents and reunite with them."
Liu Yanqiu nodded with a grim expression. It might take some time for her to accept this matter. Aunt Li sighed and carried Xiaofu in first. Gu Qingsheng glanced at Liu Yanqiu and also stepped in.
Because they hadn't slept all night, they went back to their rooms and took a nap. In a daze, Gu Qingsheng smelled a very familiar scent.
