Chapter 520 Something Big Is About to Happen
It is precisely because she cannot let go that she secretly comes to check on the other person's situation, but because of her identity, she dares not let the other person discover her.
Struggle means there is hope, and Ye Wanxi didn't believe Tao Wan could make up her mind so quickly, especially...
"When I mentioned the child just now, although she refrained from asking about the child, her eyes betrayed her feelings. The child and the child's father both still hold a place in her heart. The two of them still have a long way to go."
Feng Tianyu frowned: "Troublesome."
Ye Wanxi blinked, looking at him with a half-smile. She wondered who it was that had gone through so much trouble with her master in her past life, and now had the nerve to call others troublesome.
Feng Tianyu caught Ye Wanxi's gaze, his expression stiffened slightly, and he was just about to say something when his phone suddenly rang.
Feng Tianyu was somewhat annoyed at being disturbed, but after glancing at the caller ID on his phone, he still answered the call.
The person on the other end of the phone said a few words and then quickly hung up.
Ye Wanxi, however, still keenly sensed the urgency of the person on the other end of the phone. She frowned and asked in a low voice, "Whose call is this?"
"It's Xiao Baihui's. He said that recently someone saw a very strange animal in a remote area. Wherever the animal went, nothing grew, and its whereabouts were a mystery. They consulted many zoologists, but none of them could identify what it was. Fearing something might happen, they had someone send us pictures, hoping we could see if we recognized it."
Ye Wanxi was curious when she heard him say that, so she leaned over to see what Xiao Baihui was talking about, something that even the zoologists at the higher levels couldn't confirm.
The pictures arrived quickly, but the signal was poor on the mountain, and it took a while to download.
The enlarged image stunned both of them.
The animal in the picture looks like a cow, but it has a white head, only one eye in the center of its head, and its tail is different from that of a typical cow, making it look more like... a snake.
After Ye Wanxi and the other person carefully zoomed in on the details in the picture and compared them, they looked up at each other and their expressions changed simultaneously.
"Something big is about to happen."
The commotion at the ancestral hall unsurprisingly disturbed the old clan chief and several elders. This sudden change surprised everyone.
There was no disturbance when Shi Yuyan knelt down the night before, so how did something happen on the second night?
Or is it that you didn't move the night before simply because you were exhausted from moving twice before, so you saved all the movements for tonight?
The group, burdened with their own worries, hurried toward the ancestral hall, only to be stopped by someone before they even reached it.
"Clan leader, old clan leader, something has happened!"
While everyone was still thinking about the commotion at the ancestral hall, they were startled by these words and asked anxiously, "What happened?"
"Uncle Li and Xiao Jia are dying. You should go and see them quickly."
"What?!" The old patriarch and the others' expressions changed slightly. Wu Chi grabbed the messenger and asked anxiously, "What exactly happened? They were fine just two days ago. How could they suddenly be dying? Did someone hurt them?"
Uncle Li and Xiao Jia, mentioned by the messenger, were both members of the group that had recently returned with Wu Chi.
When Wu Chi brought his people back, everyone was perfectly fine. How come they're all on the verge of death after only two days?
Then, recalling the truth about what happened more than 20 years ago that he had learned not long ago, and knowing that there are now a few outsiders in the village, it's no wonder that Wu Chi reacted so strongly.
"No one hurt them. I... I don't know how to explain it. A couple of days ago, when we were about to come back, they said they weren't feeling well, like they had a stuffy nose, chest tightness, and a runny nose. Everyone thought it was just a cold and didn't pay much attention. We just got some medicine outside and came back. I never expected... I never expected..."
"What didn't you think of?"
"I didn't expect that after they came back, they would say that their whole body ached and their limbs were weak. They started having a high fever this morning, and no amount of fever reducers helped. Then, just now, they suddenly couldn't breathe and vomited blood!"
"Spitting blood?" The crowd erupted in uproar.
"Yes, they vomited blood. Uncle Li and the others vomited a lot of blood, their faces turned blue, it looked terrifying. Clan leader, you should go and see them quickly, I'm afraid something might have happened to them."
The fact that he vomited blood must mean it was very serious; no wonder the young man was so scared his face turned pale.
No one dared to delay any longer, so they quickly sent people to call all the doctors in the vicinity, and the group hurriedly rushed to the house.
After walking for a while, someone realized what was happening and reminded them, "The ancestral hall, that kid is still in the ancestral hall."
"Yes, we can't let that kid stay in the ancestral hall any longer!"
"Such an important place as the ancestral hall should not be allowed to enter by these outsiders, even if the ground below is already... This time, Ali and the others' accident must be related to these outsiders!"
“That’s right. It’s not that Ali and the others would have gotten into trouble earlier or later, but these outsiders have caused trouble as soon as they arrived. They must be the ones pulling the strings behind the scenes! We can’t let them stay in the tribe any longer. We have to kick them out.”
“I told you long ago, none of these outsiders are good people. The previous one was, and these new ones are too. They shouldn’t have been let in.”
"Yes, and the Tao family grandfather and grandson too. If they hadn't brought these outsiders here, the people in the village wouldn't be in this mess. It's all their fault! Drive them away too, make them leave!"
More and more people in the crowd were making similar comments. They were already on edge when they heard that outsiders had come to the mountain.
Now that this has happened again, everyone's first reaction is that it was done by these outsiders.
Without any evidence, they all spoke with such conviction that they wished they could drag Ye Wanxi and the others out and sacrifice them to the heavens right now.
Fortunately, Wu Yan, as the clan leader, still retained some rationality.
This person just said that the people involved in the accident were already feeling unwell before they set off on their return journey, even before these outsiders arrived.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that these people are behind the scenes causing trouble, but we have not yet determined the situation of our clansmen, nor have we found any evidence to prove that this matter is related to Ye Wanxi and others. It is really not advisable to convict them without authorization.
"Alright, alright, let's all keep quiet. If this matter is really related to them, we definitely need to make them give everyone an explanation. But if this matter has nothing to do with them at all, we can't wrong others because of preconceived prejudices."
As Wu Yan spoke, he pointed to a few trusted men and said, "You guys, go and take that kid out of the ancestral hall and lock him up. Just lock him up, don't do anything. Also, send a few people to keep an eye on those outsiders living in my villa, don't let them run around."
"If they ask, just say it's my order; these are extraordinary times, please cooperate for now. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."
