Poisonous Valley

A man pushed against a jewelry stall, causing the adornments to fall on the ground. Maidens watching couldn't resist themselves and started gathering the jewelry pieces scattered across the ground. The shopkeeper complained loudly, trying to save what he could.

The man didn't stop there. He pushed against several other stalls, stumbling through the streets. He shouted in pain as he held his head. Veins on his forehead protruded, and his red skin looked for a remedy. Unfortunately, the village physician had just left the village for a personal issue. So, people stood and watched as the man frantically hit his head around. 

Xiaoling and Xie Gang were having breakfast in the inn with their disciples just before setting out when they heard a commotion out in the streets.
