"All right, everyone stand up; the Taoist Priest has been hungry all day, and you're still not finished,"
The village chief smoothed things over and came up to Wang Daniu, patting his shoulder, "Taoist Priest, you saved the whole village today. Come to my house for dinner; the elders and I will host a banquet in your honor."
At this point, the atmosphere improved considerably, and Wang Daniu didn't refuse but said directly, "Then I shall respectfully comply, thank you all."
"What are you talking about, Taoist Priest? I still have many doubts that I want to consult with you about! You said they all ate something that made them sick with that strange illness; we need to know in order to take precautions."
There was an underlying message in the village chief's words; obviously, he had doubts about Wang Daniu's earlier prevarication to the villagers.
