A drying rake attracted many people to scramble for it, and the drying dam was filled with laughter and joy, making it very lively.

Many birds hid on the branches to cool off, and their small black eyes looked at everyone curiously.

The rice ash rose up layer by layer, leaped over the rays of sunlight, and fell on the heads of the people one after another. Instead of retreating, they advanced and even turned over the rice with their feet.

"watch out!"

A man had not been able to get a drying rake, so he came up with a plan.

He first took off the sweat towel on his head, covered his mouth and nose with it, and then, in a rage, he kicked up a large field of rice. The rice was golden, spun several times in the air, and sprinkled towards everyone.

"Fellow villagers, someone is trying to sneak attack, take care of him!"

The man's action aroused "public outrage", and the rest of the villagers immediately united to attack him. Some even grabbed a handful of rice and tried to stuff it into the man's collar.

Shen Zheng took a breath and quietly took a step back.

If the man stuffs this handful of rice in his mouth, he will probably feel itchy all day long.

She heard Yu Zhengqing beside her chuckle, turned her head and looked at him, and the two smiled at each other.

"The vitality of life" is embodied at this moment, and this is the meaning of their efforts.

While the villagers were playing, Shen Zheng quietly walked towards the young man.

He was still standing there stupidly, just like she was just now, staring at the villagers fighting.

He showed disdain on his face, but deep in his eyes, there was a hint of envy and confusion. He didn't even notice Shen Zheng approaching.

Yu Zhengqing did not follow Shen Zheng. Although he was curious about who the young man was, he was not Shen Zheng's follower, so how could he follow her all the time?

Moreover, he had roughly guessed the identity of the young man, and it was almost correct.

"Hey kid, what are you doing standing here?"

Shen Zheng was not very old and had a very clear voice, but even so, these words sounded like a ghost demanding his life to the young man, and he trembled with fear.

He suddenly came to his senses and quickly looked away, only to find that the woman he hated had walked up to him without him noticing.

He didn't notice it at all.

"My mother is right, you are the ghost who wants to take my life, and you make no sound when you walk!"

The young man glared at Shen Zheng. His words were vicious, but his strength was totally gone.

In Shen Zheng's eyes, his appearance was quite funny, like a beast cub whose teeth had been pulled out, babbling and barking non-stop, but without any deterrent effect.

But Shen Zheng was a reborn person. Even if she didn't believe in ghosts and gods, she still had awe in her heart. After hearing what the young man said, her face darkened.

She asked, "Your mother? Madam Luo? Did she say that about me?"

A trace of panic flashed in the boy's eyes. He turned his head away and stammered, "What Madam Luo? I don't know her."

Shen Zheng chuckled and said sarcastically, "You are such a rebellious son. Even your own mother doesn't dare to acknowledge you. It is really a blessing for County Magistrate Luo to have a good son like you."

When he saw that his identity was directly pointed out by Shen Zheng, a trace of annoyance appeared on his face.

He was clearly in disguise, so why did this woman still recognize him?

The two fell into silence. The young man was stunned and unconsciously looked at the villagers who were drying their clothes in the dam.

He sneered and said in a low voice, "It's just a rotten piece of wood. What's there to fight over? You country bumpkins are ignorant and deserve to be chewing on the bark."

Shen Zheng's face completely sank.

When the young man spoke such vicious words to her just now, she felt only a slight discomfort in her heart, simply because she was reborn and was more fearful of ghosts and gods.

But when he said this about his own county citizens, it was like throwing a match into Shen Zheng's heart, causing her anger to ignite.

Birth is determined by fate, but who doesn't want to be born into a wealthy family? Let's not talk about this for now.

Everyone has their own aspirations, so live in the present.

Managing your present life well and finding the most ordinary pleasure in it is beauty.

He had no right to judge anyone's life. As the family member of a culprit was a criminal, Shen Zheng could have immediately sent someone to take him back to the county government office. But today, she just wanted to vent some anger on behalf of the people of her county first.

She said in a cold voice: "You are not worthy of understanding the people of Tongan County. Even if they are ignorant, it is better than being uneducated."

The young man turned to look at her with a look of surprise, as if he didn't expect that the female county magistrate would actually speak for those peasants.

Before he could refute, he heard Shen Zheng continue, "Young Master Luo is indeed knowledgeable. His family is about to be ruined, yet he still comes to our county to inspect the people's sentiments. He is truly like a man who does not change his expression when a mountain collapses in front of him, or does not blink when a deer appears on his left."

"you you!"

Although he didn't quite understand the last two sentences, and didn't know what Mount Tai was, he understood the first part, which made his heart ache and tears welled up in his eyes unconsciously.

The woman was right, his home was going to be gone.

After my father returned to Yonglu County yesterday, my mother burst into tears and cried very sadly.

He peeked through the window and saw his mother, who seemed to be crying so hard that she couldn't breathe. She beat her chest and cursed: The magistrate of Tongan County is a female ghost who is taking lives.

She was the one who harmed their family.

My mother said that before, the head of the Yonglu County police stopped the female magistrate in the county. It was obviously just a routine inspection, but for some reason, she was angered and she went straight to the government office to make a scene.

It would have been fine if she had just brought the matter to the government office. She thought the prefect was a reasonable person and would not be fooled by a few words from her.

But who would have thought that the witch had either cast a spell on the prefect or given him a drug that made him lose his mind? The prefect didn't even ask any questions and went to the Yonglu County Court to take the head of the police, Wang Wu, away.

It is not enough that the prefect has taken the chief constable away, now he is punishing his father as well without any investigation. I am afraid he will lose his official position.

He was standing outside the window, looking at his mother, whose eyes were about to go blind from crying, and he felt so distressed.

That's why he came to Tongan County today. He wanted to see if the Tongan County Magistrate was born with three heads and six arms. If she was really a witch, he would eliminate the harm to the people and clear his father's name...

After all, the thousand kilograms of grain per acre might have been created by her magic. There were many such stories in storybooks. As long as they ate the grain, they would become puppets of this witch!

But why, when he arrived in Tongan County, did this evil woman look quite different from what his mother had described?

She would patiently talk to all the villagers she met, always with a smile in her eyes.

Not only would he bring useful tools to the village workers, he would also demonstrate them himself, not minding getting covered in dust.

She would even play with the villagers in the sunbathing area without showing any disdain...

Are these things something a witch would do?

He was a little confused, but he pulled himself together after a moment.

A seductress is good at charming people's minds.

Isn't the prefect a living example? He can't be deceived by it.

Besides, his mother was such a gentle person and had never lied to him.

"Kid, you're not talking anymore? Are you here to cause trouble in Tongan County?"

Seeing that he remained silent, Shen Zheng's face turned blue and red, like a color palette.
