He looked at the second-in-command and said, "Second brother, I'm the boss here! Whether we go to see those two people or how to deal with them, I have the final say! We agreed at the beginning that I'm the boss of this village and I have the final say!"
Although the second in command was not convinced, he did not dare to say anything.
But when he saw the fourth in command hiding behind the village chief, his smug expression made him feel very angry.
He squeezed the weapon in his hand, but still said nothing.
However, this reaction seemed very unacceptable to the village chief.
Once people reach the pinnacle of power, it is easy to lose themselves.
The current village chief is becoming more and more dissatisfied with the second-in-command, and always feels that this brother wants to take his position.
In the past, no matter what he said, the second in command would support him, but now, no matter what he said, the second in command would interject a word or two, either opposing it or thinking that the decision was not good enough.
What’s hateful is that the third brother who used to be the most obedient also stood on the side of the second in command, and many brothers in the mountain stronghold also stood on the side of the second in command.
How can I bear this!
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly unsettled, the Third Chief was worried that the Village Chief would start a quarrel with the Second Chief, so he quickly said, "Since Big Brother wants to go and take a look, then go and take a look. There's nothing wrong with taking a look."
Upon hearing this, the village chief's expression improved a little. He took the buffalo and the fourth in command and left.
After leaving the house, the fourth in command spoke again, "Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about the second brother, but what he did was really wrong! You're the eldest brother, so naturally you have the final say. Why does he always oppose you?"
Shuiniu was also a flatterer. Knowing that the Fourth Master was now a favorite in the eyes of the village chief, he wanted to curry favor with him, so he joined in and said, "Yes, everyone in the village is talking about this now. They think the Second Master... seems to be getting more and more dissatisfied with you, the village chief."
"Okay, shut up! Don't say those words again!"
After being scolded, the Fourth In Command and Shuiniu didn't dare to say anything else, but they knew very well in their hearts that the village chief was suspicious of the Second In Command.
The three of them came to the woodshed together, and Shuiniu quickly asked his brothers guarding the woodshed to open the lock.
The woodshed was not big, and it was filled with dry firewood, leaving only a small open space. Helian Sheng and Duan Qingxi sat on that open space.
Duan Qingxi's eyes were filled with tears, as if something had happened to Helian Sheng.
Seeing someone coming, Duan Qingxi quickly stepped forward and said, "Big brothers, please save my master and return the medicine in the bundle to us! My master has been poisoned. If he doesn't take the antidote, he will really die!"
As if to confirm Duan Qingxi's words, Helian Sheng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which scared the fourth in command Shuiniu so much that his face turned pale, fearing that this man was really dead.
The village chief was a man who had seen the world. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the blood that Helian Sheng vomited.
The color was black and red, and there was a very strange smell mixed with the blood. As soon as he smelled it, he knew that it was indeed poisoned.
After a while, he said to Shuiniu calmly, "Give them the antidote."
The buffalo was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses and quickly said, "Yes!"
After getting the antidote back, Shuiniu only gave Duan Qingxi one pill, but Duan Qingxi wiped his tears and said thank you, then quickly gave it to Helian Sheng.
After taking the antidote, Helian Sheng's condition improved slightly.
But looking at his appearance, I guess he won't live long.
The village chief observed them carefully and found that both Helian Sheng's clothes and accessories were very expensive, and he did not look like an ordinary wealthy man.
And Duan Qingxi... has dark skin and is very thin. She looks like she grew up doing rough labor, not like a servant.
