The three hurried to Tie Wa's house and were greeted by Old Lu driving a donkey cart, seemingly planning to take soone to the hospital.
An insistence from above to relocate Iron Village was largely due to inconvenient roads, making it difficult for ambulances to enter the village. This was also why Chen Li didn't consider calling an ambulance.
In the minds of the current residents of Iron Village, this concept simply doesn't exist.
"Make way!" Chen Li charged ahead, forcefully carving a path through the crowd, leading Xiao Feng and Sun Shijie into the yard.
Tie Wa was being carried by five or six people, with everyone around chattering away, creating a chaotic scene.
"He appears to be poisoned," Sun Shijie judged while looking at the ashen-faced Tie Wa. At the sa ti, he shouted, "Lay him flat on the ground; I'm a doctor, I can save him!"
The people carrying Tie Wa heeded the words and started to lay him on the ground.
Among the crowd, Tie Yanmin felt a surge of panic, knowing he had no way out.
If the fool didn't die from the poison, then he surely wouldn't escape unscathed!
Thinking this, he stood out and shouted, "It's you again! You've already killed Little Wu, now do you want to kill his older brother too?"
"Get lost!" Xiao Feng kicked him far away, clearing the way for Sun Shijie.
"Damn it, hit him! I'll pay a hundred bucks for each punch!" Tie Yanmin, having gotten up, was now in a crazed state of rage.
His seven hooligan friends were the first to strike, emboldened by being in their own village.
Xiao Feng remained unfazed, dispatching one with each move. In less than half a minute, all seven were taken down.
Imdiately, screams rose sporadically, and a large empty space cleared around Tie Wa.
At this point, Sun Shijie had already checked Tie Wa's pulse, calmly retrieved a porcelain bottle from his backpack, poured out a pill, and was ready to administer it to him.
Tie Yanmin grew truly anxious, shouting, "Whoever can handle this guy, I'll pay a thousand!
No!
Five thousand!"
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the young people present glead with greed, even so middle-aged n were keen to try.
As the saying goes, "He who is heavily rewarded is brave." Soon after, soone couldn't resist and swung a pole at Xiao Feng.
"Bang!"
Xiao Feng steadily caught the pole, a gleam of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Blinded by money, one young man had no sense of danger. After repeatedly trying and failing to snatch back the pole, he released it and lunged to bite Xiao Feng's finger.
"Bang!"
"Ahhhhh!"
The young man fell to the ground, his face blooming with injuries, wailing incessantly.
"Next, I won't be so courteous," Xiao Feng said coolly, his gaze sweeping the faces in the courtyard.
Wherever his gaze landed, people instinctively took two steps back, their minds sobered from the lure of five thousand bucks.
Tie Yanmin was going crazy; he didn't understand why this outsider kept opposing him repeatedly.
He had long since given up on framing them!
However, this indeed was the classic example of illogical reasoning.
He no longer tried to bla Xiao Feng and Sun Shijie for Little Wu's death because it was unfeasible.
Moreover, with Xiao Feng's vengeful nature, easily letting things go was out of the question.
After waiting a mont and seeing that no one around intended to act, Xiao Feng inquired, "How is it going?"
"Fortunately, he wasn't poisoned for long and his sturdy physique helps. It's not a big problem," Sun Shijie assessed while continuing to observe.
At this point, Tie Yidao rushed over, loudly shouting, "You an my son is poisoned?"
"Yes," Xiao Feng replied.
Tie Yidao's facial muscles tensed with disbelief, "My son hasn't even drunk a drop of water from night till now; how could he be poisoned?"
Xiao Feng's gaze turned to Tie Yanmin, with a faint smile, "You should ask this village chief's son."
Just a mont ago, when Tie Yidao ntioned the poisoning, Xiao Feng distinctly noticed Tie Yanmin's evasive eyes.
Based on this, it could be deduced that even if he didn't administer the poison, he certainly had a hand in it.
"You're talking nonsense!" Tie Yanmin burst in anger like a bristled porcupine, "What proof do you have that I poisoned him?"
Xiao Feng couldn't help but chuckle, "Everyone here heard it. Did I ever say you poisoned him?
Besides, if you didn't poison him, why are you so agitated?"
The nosy onlookers in the courtyard started to discuss fervently.
"Could it really have been him who poisoned?"
"It's hard to know a person, let's wait and see."
Listening to the surrounding discussions, Tie Yanmin gritted his teeth and said, "Stop playing semantics; you didn't say I poisoned him, but can you honestly say you weren't implying it?"
Xiao Feng didn't want to argue further, calmly saying, "When the person wakes up, the truth will naturally co to light."
"You!" Tie Yanmin was furious and then terrified.
Yet at this point, he could only grit his teeth and continue denying.
About five minutes later, Tie Wa regained consciousness.
His eyes showed a hint of confusion, seemingly not understanding why so many people were gathered around watching him.
"Brother Tie, you finally woke up!" Chen Li burst into tears and threw herself into his arms.
Tie Wa gently patted her back to comfort her, opened his mouth just as he was about to say sothing, but was interrupted by a shrill voice, "Son! Son!"
"Mother." Tie Wa gently moved Chen Li aside and got up from the ground.
The woman embraced him tightly, holding him as if afraid he would be taken away.
Chen Li wiped away her tears and, as if rembering sothing, repeatedly thanked Xiao Feng and Sun Shijie.
...
The events in Tie Wa's yard quickly reached Tie Nongbao's ears.
Upon hearing the news, Tie Nongbao imdiately called for Chang Xiuling and slapped her across the face.
"It's all your damn fault! Encouraging your son to poison soone as a mother?
Now look, you didn't catch the fox but ended up covered in stink. Tell , how do we fix this ss?"
Being able to think up such a vicious plan, Chang Xiuling was not an easy character; she touched her mouth with her finger, checking the bloodstain on it.
Without yelling, she grabbed the wine bottle on the table and smashed it over Tie Nongbao's head.
"Snap!"
The bottle shattered, the alcohol stinging the wound and running into his eyes, sending Tie Nongbao staggering backward, collapsing to the ground in agony.
"How dare you lay a hand on ? Have you gone mad?" Chang Xiuling scolded with hands on her hips, "So what if he wasn't poisoned?
He already ate the buns, there's no evidence to prove our son poisoned them!"
Tie Nongbao's eyes brightened, ignoring his cries of pain, scrambling to his feet, and headed to the door.
"Where are you going?"
"First to Old Li to bandage my head, then to find our son."
"Didn't you send Old Li back to his in-laws?"
"..." Tie Nongbao.
Previously worried that Tie Wa would be rescued, he had specifically sent away the only doctor at the clinic, only to end up shooting himself in the foot.
