That day, someone saw Zhang Tianyou being carried back by Xu Xue and Mr. Xu. Everyone was secretly wondering if Zhang Tianyou would die this time.

In their eyes, Zhang Tianyou was very lucky. Every time he was about to die, he would miraculously recover.

The village chief’s words left Mr. Xu and Xu Xue speechless.

Seeing that the father and daughter had nothing to say, the village chief waved his hand impatiently. “The two of you don’t have to interfere. There is no reason why we should believe you who accommodated these two outsiders.”

Xu Xue was so anxious that she was about to cry. “What my father said is true. We don’t know why nothing happened this time, but Miao Zhen must have done something.”

Miao Zhen shouted into the house. “Tianyou, come out and meet them.”

Zhang Tianyou had been in the house the entire time. When he heard the commotion outside, he suppressed the urge to cough. Seeing that Miao Zhen had the upper hand, he smiled.

When Miao Zhen called out to him, he coughed a few times. “Cough, cough, cough…”

Before Zhang Tianyou came out, he coughed.

He walked to the courtyard and stood beside Miao Zhen. He looked very weak. He covered his mouth and coughed lightly. “Grandma, I’m here.”

Miao Zhen held Zhang Tianyou’s hand and said to everyone with a gentle expression, “Tianyou escaped death every time because I spent a lot of money to buy ginseng to save him.”

Miao Zhen looked at the crowd indifferently and said, “If everyone thinks that I, Miao Zhen, am a vicious person, then please give me a few days. I will move out with Tianyou.”

Compared to what Mr. Xu said, Miao Zhen’s words were more convincing.

They didn’t know if anyone had the ability to kill someone in order to save someone else, but they knew about ginseng. It was a precious thing and cost a lot of money. It was said that the older the ginseng, the better the effect.

Zhang Tianyou could sustain his life because his grandmother spent a lot of money.

The village chief’s expression softened. “Granny Miao, we believe you. Don’t say anything about moving out. Tianyou is not in good health. Let him go back and rest. Don’t let his illness get worse.”

Miao Zhen’s medical skills were superb. Every time they looked for her for treatment, she did not collect much money. If they chased such a capable doctor away, it would be a loss to the entire fishing village and more so for the younger generation.

Miao Zhen nodded and patted the back of Zhang Tianyou’s hand. “Tianyou, go back and rest.”

Zhang Tianyou nodded. He was polite and cupped his hands at everyone. “Sorry, I’ll go back to rest.”

Zhang Tianyou glanced at Xu Xue and returned to the house.

He knew that with his grandmother around, everything would be resolved.

It was impossible for two outsiders to challenge the status of his grandmother in the village.

Mr. Xu was so angry that he choked. Xu Xue was also anxious. Zhang Tianyou’s gaze made her feet turn cold.

Chen Wen couldn’t help but look at Xia Qiluo and say. “Miss Xia, you…”

Xia Qiluo was already in a bad mood. Before Chen Wen could speak, she retorted. “What me? I don’t know anything.”

Xia Qiluo looked at Liu Sanniang and glared at her before looking away. She wanted to see how long Liu Sanniang could remain calm.

Ever since she was young, Xia Qiluo had always been domineering wherever she went. She had never been looked down upon like this. If she didn’t get back at her, she wouldn’t be able to take it lying down.

The village chief looked at Chu Yan and Liu Sanniang. “Lock them up.”

Liu Sanniang said calmly, “We can walk ourselves.”

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan were brought to a small house in the temple and locked up.

The village chief arranged for two men to stand guard.

One was Xu De, and the other was Xu Shun.

Xu De felt a little uneasy. He didn’t know why this was happening.

Xu Shun was pretty chill though.

Liu Sanniang couldn’t calm down after being locked up with Chu Yan. Chu Yan’s presence always made her tense up.

She could be calm in front of others, but not in front of Chu Yan.

She could feel Chu Yan looking at her. Liu Sanniang said, “Are you hungry?”

Chu Yan looked at Liu Sanniang and replied. “I’m hungry.”

He wanted to eat her.

Liu Sanniang quickly said, “If you’re hungry, close your eyes and rest. If you fall asleep, you won’t be hungry anymore.”

Liu Sanniang did not feel hungry, but Chu Yan looked at her like a wolf looking at a sheep. She was afraid.

Chu Yan chuckled. He reached out to hold Liu Sanniang’s hand and squeezed it. He pulled Liu Sanniang to sit down. “You’ll only be fifteen after the New Year.”

Liu Sanniang blushed.

Ahhh, why was he squeezing her hand???

Liu Sanniang nodded.

Chu Yan smiled and let go. “Rest.”

He had to wait for at least three more years.

Chu Yan leaned against the table and seemed to be asleep.

Liu Sanniang was finally able to relax. Although the sense of danger was still there, she felt safer.

She emptied her mind and gradually entered a meditative state. She could feel everything around her change.

At this moment, the village chief led everyone to rebuild the Buddha statue.

The Buddha statue was made of mud. Miao Zhen brought over the mud. It was black. Miao Zhen held her walking stick and her voice was very weak. “You have to be quick.”

She didn’t have much time left.

Miao Zhen looked at Xia Qiluo, who was leaning against the wall, and her eyes darkened. Xia Qiluo’s involvement had helped her a lot, but at the same time, she was also a danger that could not be neglected. No one could tell what she would do next.

Sensing that Miao Zhen was looking at her, Xia Qiluo walked over. She looked at Miao Zhen. She was different from these stupid villagers. She would not be fooled by Miao Zhen. Xia Qiluo said arrogantly, “Hey, old witch, you care a lot about this Buddha statue.”

Miao Zhen’s heart skipped a beat, but her expression did not change as she replied calmly. “What are you talking about? Who doesn’t care about their faith?”

Xia Qiluo could not see anything unusual about Miao Zhen. When she thought of what Liu Sanniang said, she felt uncomfortable. Miao Zhen was definitely not a good person.

Xia Qiluo clenched her fists and waved them. “Old witch, you’d better not be planning anything evil. Otherwise, I’ll kill you with my fists. I’ll kill your useless grandson as easily as crushing an ant, understand?”

Miao Zhen gritted his teeth and suppressed the anger in her heart.

She said to Xia Qiluo in fear, “I’m a person who’s about to die. I don’t have any ability. My grandson was born a weak person. Please don’t vent your anger on him. He can’t take it. Anyway, I’m going to die. If you are upset or angry, take it all out on me.”
