Mo Dakui was quick-witted and immediately understood his old man's intention. Hastily fetching a chair, he helped Elder Mo to sit before he, along with Mo Dali and Mo Dayong, lifted Elder Mo, crying out as they carried him, "Village Chief! Village Chief, save us, my father is vomiting blood!"
After finishing, he pointed to the corners of Elder Mo's mouth and the hem of his garment for all to see the bloodstains.
Seeing this, the villagers exclaimed, "Oh, is he really vomiting blood?"
Upon seeing this, Village Chief He's face changed, thinking that if Elder Mo were truly vomiting blood due to anger caused by Mo Qinzi, then the matter would be tricky to handle.
Gu Jinli, holding Brother Cheng's hand and each enjoying a roasted duck leg, noticed the situation. She nudged Brother Cheng and whispered, "Go find Mo Xiangming, tell him to inform the village chief that having blood in one's mouth doesn't necessarily mean it's vomited out—it could be from biting one's lip."
