She saw Dazhuang carrying someone, while Lingdang stood beside him crying.
A bad feeling crept into her heart, and Qian Shuishui called out in a trembling voice, "Dazhuang..."
Wang Dazhuang frowned. "Shuishui, why don't you take Lingdang to our house first?"
Qian Shuishui nodded, hugged the bell to her chest, and went out the door.
Despite the freezing weather, Zhao Tingzhang was dragged out the door by Zhao Yan before he could even put on his clothes properly.
"Chief, I think Uncle Cai's family is not doing well, and I need your advice."
Zhao, the pavilion chief, walked quickly, his forehead covered in sweat.
"Yan'er, you said they ate rat poison? Are you sure?"
As Zhao Yan walked, he nodded, "It's pretty much a done deal. It seems like it was premeditated. Uncle Cai's bell was locked in the room by his mother and didn't eat, which is why it wasn't poisoned."
"ah?"
Some people in the village heard the commotion, especially Zhao Youcai's uncles and aunts.
My three uncles and three aunts also rushed over immediately, all of them looking worried.
The small house of Zhao Youcai was already full of people. Zhao Youcai, Tao Guihua, and Zhao Youcai's parents had been carried onto the bed.
After Zhao Tingzhang entered, everyone made way for him.
"How is it? How is the person?"
Wang Dazhuang and Liu Yonghe shook their heads, "Not good..."
Zhao Tingzhang hurried forward to check, and found the room packed with people. Zhao Youcai's uncles and aunts were all craning their necks to look inside.
"Hey, how's my aunt doing? Is there any hope for Youcai and his wife?"
"Yes, there isn't a doctor in our village. What are we going to do!"
"I heard that a wealthy woman poisoned the whole family. Is that true?"
Headmaster Zhao was getting a headache from the nagging of his aunts and snapped, "Shut up! The matter hasn't been investigated yet, who dares to talk nonsense?"
The three aunts exchanged glances and then shut their mouths.
"Yan'er, go home and call Dahai. Go to the city and fetch a doctor tonight," Zhao Tingzhang instructed.
Now, I don't know if it will be too late to see a doctor.
But we can't just stand by and watch people die from poisoning.
Sigh, the conditions in their village are still too poor.
"Chief, the person is cold..." Wang Dazhuang walked up to him and said in a low voice.
Zhao, the village head, stiffened, wanting to take a puff of his pipe to ease the tension. But he realized he'd rushed out and hadn't had time to bring the pipe with him.
The room full of people waited there, and time ticked by.
Zhao Youcai's three cousins were so sleepy that they urged their wives to go home first and come back tomorrow morning.
However, the three women seemed to have their own plans, and none of them intended to leave.
Just as dawn was about to break, the tranquility of the village was shattered by the sound of galloping hooves.
Zhao Dahai drove the carriage like the wind to Zhao Youcai's door. Then he shouted "Whoa..." and the carriage stopped.
The horse's loud neighing woke up everyone in the village.
Zhao Yan hurriedly pulled a doctor out of the carriage, shouting, "Quick, quick!"
