The village chief gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Carry Brother Peng into the house!"
The other villagers hurriedly lifted the stretcher and carried Uncle Peng into the wooden house.
Zhou Shu forced himself back into the house and waved at the villagers. "Go out first."
"You…" the village chief said.
"You go out too," Zhou Shu said. "I want to save Uncle Peng. No one else can be present, or I won't be able to save him.
"Village Chief, if you want Uncle Peng to die, you can delay it some more."
The village chief's expression changed as he gritted his teeth. "You'd better save Brother Peng. Otherwise, I won't let you off!"
Carrying the hatchet, he turned and walked out.
"Little Brother Cao, go out and wait. Don't worry. Uncle Peng will be fine," Zhou Shu said to Cao Yue. His attitude toward Cao Yue was completely different from his attitude toward the village chief and the others.
