Chapter 102: Strike First
"Master Linchuan, Master Linchuan! Help, help!" the village chief wailed.
"We must not let Master Linchuan see this, otherwise he will know that we secretly tricked people to come here to offer sacrifices."
"Yes, you guys go over there quickly and cover his mouth. I'll go explain this to Master Linchuan."
The people had clear division of labor. Some covered the village chief's mouth to prevent him from making any sound, while others stopped Linchuan from coming over to find out what was going on.
The Liang family felt mixed emotions when they saw this scene.
Why have the people of Tagang Village become so inhumane?
This applies to outsiders as well as to those within your own family.
The snake venom spread quickly in the body, and before long, the village chief was unable to move.
"Dead?" One of them sniffed his breath.
"I will tell the villagers that the village chief was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake and died. Then, you can elect me as the new village chief."
"Why choose you? Why not choose me? I'm better than you."
"Awesome? How are you awesome? I'm not ashamed to say it out loud. I'm determined to be the village chief. Don't even think about snatching it away from me."
Several people were arguing and didn't notice that Linchuan was taken out by the person who had just said he would stop him.
"What are you doing?" the man shouted in mock shock.
Several people still maintained their posture of controlling the village chief. After all, they were not sure whether this man was dead or not.
Who knew Linchuan would show up at this time? I didn’t know how to explain it for a moment.
"I...we...we saw the village chief bitten by a poisonous snake and wanted to save him." One of them said hesitantly.
"Are you guys looking like you're saving people? I see you're clearly trying to kill the village chief! How can there be people as vicious as you?" The man pointed at them, looking indignant.
Several people were confused by his accusation and were unable to recover for a long time.
So I missed the best opportunity to defend myself.
Liang Huanxue couldn't help but sigh, what a scheming person!
He said that he would stop Linchuan from coming out to see this ugly scene, but in fact he deliberately invited Linchuan over to let him see these people "killing" someone.
I think they are the people who are closest to the village chief and Linchuan in this village.
Now that the village chief is dead, these people have been accused of murdering the village chief.
Then the position of village chief naturally fell into his hands.
Old Mrs. Liang was also shocked by the man's scheming.
"I didn't expect that I would end up making wedding clothes for him."
"Grandma, whether it's a wedding dress or a birthday dress is still uncertain." Liang Huanxue didn't think he would succeed.
After all, Linchuan would definitely be jealous of someone with such a scheming mind.
If he wants to completely control everything in this village, he has to find someone who is not so thoughtful to be his dog.
Otherwise it will only make things more troublesome.
Linchuan raised his eyes and looked towards where Liang Huanxue was.
Liang Huanxue withdrew her gaze and was secretly shocked.
Even from such a long distance, I can still feel her gaze?
Is that too powerful?
"What happened?" Linchuan walked towards the village chief and asked in a deep voice.
"It's them. They caught a poisonous snake and bit the village chief." One of them pointed at Liang Huanxue.
"Didn't you leave? Why are you still here?" Linchuan was naturally surprised.
After all, he thought that the miasma was enough to deal with them, trapping them in a small space and making them unable to move forward.
When the people in the village find out about this, they will try to take action against them.
But unexpectedly, they all looked clear-eyed and didn't seem to be affected by the miasma.
"We were originally leaving, but I don't know why we went back. Maybe it was because it was too dark and I couldn't see the road clearly. Can you lend us a lantern?" Liang Huanxue said with a smile, and took a few steps forward.
"Huanxue!" Liang Huanxue wanted to pull her back, but seeing that Liang Huanxue looked calm, the hand she stretched out stopped in mid-air and she did not make any other movements.
"You killed our village chief, and you still want the lantern?" Seeing that Master Linchuan had no intention of blaming them, those people immediately directed their attacks at Liang Huanxue.
Using this excuse, we can trap them here and sacrifice them. Even Master Linchuan will not say anything.
After all, if you kill someone, you must pay for it.
"Who said he was dead?" Liang Huanxue squatted down and spread out her palms.
In her palm lay a few silver needles, sparkling in the moonlight.
"It's already like this, it's obviously death..."
Before the other party could finish his words, Liang Huanxue had already stabbed the village chief with the silver needle in her hand.
She injected several needles in one breath, all in the vital points.
Linchuan looked at her skilled technique, and the inquiry in his eyes became even deeper.
He knew that the little girl in front of him was definitely not simple.
Just as he was thinking this, the village chief who was lying on the ground dying suddenly sat up and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"That's enough." Liang Huanxue took the silver needle off him and threw it to the ground in disgust.
The village chief's eyes swept over the people in front of him with deep resentment.
After all, these people not only did not want to save him, but also wanted to kill him and take his place.
No one can bear it.
"Be careful next time. There are a lot of poisonous snakes in this place." Liang Huanxue said with a double meaning, patted the dust and weeds on her body, stood up, turned around and walked back.
"Let's go."
The Liang family members, who had not yet recovered from the village chief's resurrection, subconsciously followed her back after hearing her words.
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy for us to leave." Old Mrs. Liang didn't think the people of Tagang Village would let them leave.
After all, they already knew the secret of this place.
Sure enough, they realized something was wrong before they had walked far.
A dozen people came from all directions and were quietly surrounding them.
If we are really surrounded, it will be difficult to escape.
Liang Huanxue thought for a while and decided to strike first.
She took out the bow and crossbow that Liang Jiajiang had made for her from her arms and aimed it at one of the spots.
With a light pull of the trigger, three arrows flew out with a whoosh and disappeared into the night.
Then there was a scream.
Liang Huanxue turned the bow and crossbow to another direction and pulled the trigger again.
Another scream.
After a few screams, those people dared not move forward.
Liang Huanxue heaved a sigh of relief and put the bow back into her arms, "Let's go."
"Huanxue, where did you get this bow and crossbow from?" Liang Huanxue had never seen this thing in her hand before.
"I asked Brother Jiajiang to do it for me before we set off. I knew it would be dangerous here, so I made preparations in advance." Liang Huanxue replied.
"So, the spider web you took out earlier to block the bugs was also given to you by Jiajiang?"
