The Li people hesitated, then quickly made way for him.
The shaman, with a dignified expression, strode over under the watchful gaze of the clan chief, Li Guang.
At the same time, Deputy Clan Chief Lin Hong also slowly walked from the back of the line towards the front.
They stood on either side of the clan chief, Li Guang.
The Li people are not very civilized, so in the past, they might not have noticed the conflicts within the village...
At this moment, even the most oblivious person could sense the strange atmosphere.
The witch doctor felt no remorse whatsoever; instead, he sternly questioned Song Chengliang, who had just spoken, "Speak!"
Song Chengliang wasn't easily intimidated.
Before his father got into trouble, when he was the Minister of Personnel, this charlatan was nowhere to be found!
Song Chengliang exchanged a glance with Song Chengliang, a smirk playing on his lips, a hint of mockery flashing across his face.
Turning to the Li people, he said, "We may not know much about your beliefs, but we respect them."
Before we arrived, you had experienced many typhoons. Why do you insist that this typhoon was a disaster brought by us?
Whether someone brings bad luck or not, I believe, cannot be determined solely by the labels others attach to them...
But we need to see whether it brings about unfortunate consequences.
Did we make things worse by damaging the house?
No, right? We worked together and repaired the house in less than a day.
Without food, are we making things worse?
No, right? We went down the mountain on our own initiative, went hunting twice, had a barbecue ourselves, and ate and drank with everyone...
There was no intention to harm anyone, right?
If venomous snakes are considered bad luck, what was that saying again?
Whoever is attacked by a swarm of snakes is the one who brings misfortune.
Did the snakes attack us?
Now, they're probably trying to frame us for arson again...
As you can see, we were not the ones who started the fire; we were the ones who helped put it out.
So far, we haven't done anything to harm anyone; on the contrary, we've been the ones being targeted...
If they're so afraid of our presence, they could just let us down the mountain; the wounded have mostly recovered anyway.
Song Chengliang's words were righteous and indignant.
It was utterly humiliating for the deputy chieftain and the witch doctor.
Although no names were mentioned, every word hit the nail on the head.
An accident occurred in the village; Li people were injured, thatched roofs were destroyed, and there was a shortage of thatch and food...
The deputy clan chief and the shaman remained unmoved; all they did was jump out and criticize the Song family.
Conversely, being attacked by swarms of venomous snakes or set on fire by villains is of little importance to them.
"It seems I was wrong about everything."
Clan chief Li Guang suddenly spoke up, "Although there are some problems in the village, I always believe that the people of the clan are united..."
Some problems can be resolved.
This typhoon has shown me that not everyone wants to unite as one.
With the unity and cooperation of the clan members, hoping to repair the house and restore their lives as soon as possible...
Some people, however, have their minds elsewhere.
Internal problems may be more dangerous than external factors like the postgraduate entrance examination.
What do you say, Deputy Chieftain?
Li Guang looked at Lin Hong, the deputy clan chief.
Lin Sen lost his composure and almost rushed over, but Lin Hong held him back.
Lin Hong maintained his usual smile and replied perfunctorily, "The clan leader is right, we absolutely support him!"
"Alright then..."
Li Guang turned to look at the clansmen, "These fire prevention personnel will be handled by the deputy clan chief."
Everyone had worked hard all night. Except for those on guard duty and patrolling the mountain, the rest of the people went back to rest first.
The families whose homes were burned down, please stay at the council hall for now. Tomorrow I will personally organize people to help with the reconstruction.
After Li Guang finished speaking, the families whose houses had been burned bowed deeply in gratitude.
The crowd slowly dispersed, with Lin Hong and his son, along with the witch doctor, remaining at the back.
Li Guang walked at the front, without any hesitation or looking back.
As Lin Hong watched his retreating figure, the smile on his face vanished completely.
His eyes also became incredibly sinister.
"Vice Clan Chief, this time, I can trust you, right?"
The witch doctor spoke, his voice arrogant and unpleasant to the ear, carrying a hint of threat.
His collaboration with Lin Hong was based on mutual benefit.
If he's always the one charging into battle, it diminishes his prestige...
He will definitely reconsider his collaboration with Lin Hong.
There are many potential partners, not just Lin Hong.
"rest assured!"
Lin Hong answered with absolute certainty, and his smile returned.
This time, he's going to wipe them all out!
