On his way back, Cui Zhaozhao secretly went around to the big locust tree.

Under the big locust tree at night, there is no noise from the day, only the rustling sound of leaves in the wind.

After tossing and turning all night, even though they were tied to the tree, the men couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep in a mess.

Zhao Yougen was also restless in his dream, cursing all the time.

Cui Zhaozhao picked up a leaf from the ground as a container, bought two kilograms of honey from the mall, and silently poured the honey around the few people.

Especially Zhao Yougen, his head and face were all wet.

Even if there is a government trial, Cui Zhaozhao believes that the only effective way to deal with evil people is to use means more vicious than his own.

He almost ruined his mother's reputation. Even in later generations, cheating would be despised, not to mention that in feudal society, unfaithful women would be thrown into a pig cage.

Although she couldn't win physically, she could use her brain.

Honey is sweet and attracts flies. There are still two hours before dawn, so enjoy it here.

No one lives in the west room of the old house.

When Cui Zhaozhao arrived home, Lin had already simply tidied up the west room and was planning to stay there tonight.

"It's still a while before daybreak. Go to sleep first. I'll be watching over you and boil the medicine."

Lin patted Cui Zhaozhao's little face.

Cui Zhaozhao dived into his mother's arms and hugged her tightly with a melancholy look.

That day was filled with shocks one after another. First, he was robbed when he returned to the village, and then his house was broken into in the middle of the night.

When her stepfather was fighting with Zhao Yougen, she even thought that if this man could keep her mother safe, then he would be the one.

She was really scared. If it happened again and she wasn't as lucky as this time, what would her mother do?

Lin gently stroked her back and sighed.

They thought that as long as they closed the door and had enough food and drink, their family of four could live a stable life in ancient times, but reality dealt them a fatal blow.

Being too conspicuous is not a good thing when you are in the same class. Only by widening the class gap can you keep people with bad intentions away.

Either you have money or you have power.

Mrs. Lin felt her shoulders sink. When she turned her head, she saw that her daughter had fallen asleep leaning against her.

He gently carried her to the kang and smoothed her uneasy brows. Lin sat on the edge of the kang in a daze.

Still have to find a way to make money.

The sun pierces the darkness.

Hotter than the sun are the howling of ghosts and wolves under the big locust tree.

"It's so itchy. I know I'm wrong. Please loosen the rope. It's itching so badly."

"Ouch, something got stuck in my trouser leg!"

There were so many insects under the big locust tree that the villagers who were watching did not dare to get close. Just looking at them made their scalps tingle.

"I've lived in this village for over fifty years, and I've never seen so many bugs under the trees."

"Look, there's a centipede on One Gen's face. Oh my god, this thing is poisonous."

This centipede is almost as thick as an eyebrow, and it is long and extends from the eyebrow to the corner of the mouth.

If you get bitten, half of your face will be rotten.

No one dared to step forward.

"My sons, what are you doing!" Yougen's mother rushed out crying.

She had spent half her life giving birth to this one son, and she couldn't bear to scold him. How dare they tie him to a tree?

When Yougen's mother saw the bug on her face, she almost fainted and reached out her hand but didn't dare to take it.

"Swallow, hurry up and take the bug off your brother's face."

"Mom, I dare not..." Yan Zi was almost scared to tears.

Yougen's mother was furious and anxious. She slapped him and said, "Your brother is the sky of our family. If anything happens to him, you will die."

Yan Zi hadn't eaten for two days. The slap made her eyes see stars. She stumbled a few steps and subconsciously reached out to find something to hold on to.

A slap landed on Zhao Yougen's face.

"Ahhh, it hurts so much, mom, what are you doing? Quickly pull her away!"

Zhao Yougen was about to collapse. His face was originally just itchy, but now it was burning with pain.

Yougen's mother was dumbfounded. She didn't know whether to comfort her son first or beat Yan Zi first. She hurriedly threw her daughter aside and helped him wipe his face with heartache.

"Take your hands away! Don't touch me! It hurts!" Zhao Yougen's eye was swollen and shiny, and he couldn't stop crying. "Mom, I can't stand it anymore! Untie me!"

"Yes, yes, yes, untie the rope, mother will untie it for you."

Yougen's mother wiped away her tears and hurriedly untied the rope.

The village head stamped his feet in anger and said, "Yougen has committed a crime. You are not allowed to untie her. Drag her away."

"They must have instigated this." Yougen's mother pointed at the people from Willow Village. "My Yougen is just easily influenced. He has no bad intentions."

The Zhao family lived at the end of the village and heard no sound at night.

Yougen's mother gritted her teeth and said, "At worst, we'll pay you back."

The village head was unmoved. The situation last night was too horrible. He had been the village head for decades, and such a rampant thing had never happened in Xiahe Village.

Yougen's mother made up her mind and knelt heavily on the ground.

"He's still injured. If we tie him up any further, he'll be eaten to death by insects. We've all watched Yougen grow up. How can we bear to see him suffer like this?"

Yougen's mother was in tears and the head of the village was a little moved.

Anyway, he couldn't run away in the village. After all, we all knew each other well. There would be no harm in untying the rope and asking a doctor to take a look at the injury.

"Then..."

"Uncle Lizheng." Cui Zhaozhao walked up to the Lizheng and asked in confusion, "There are so many bugs under the tree. What's going on?"

The village head was also confused, and Cui Zhaozhao beside him seemed to have thought of something and suddenly covered his mouth.

"Could it be that the divine stone is angry and is punishing them?"

After he finished speaking, the crowd fell into an eerie silence, and everyone's expression grew serious.

No matter what season it was, there had never been so many insects gathered under the big locust tree. No, there had never been such a situation since he could remember.

Could it be true, as the girl from the Cui family said, that this was a punishment sent down by a huge rock?

The sacred stone has protected Xiahe Village for generations. Over hundreds and thousands of years, dynasties have come and gone, but the village has never been affected by wars, and the villagers have lived a stable life here.

Could it be that these people disturbed the divine stone’s sleep last night?

Some people in the crowd were so frightened that they kept kowtowing: "They have done something wrong, punish them, but don't implicate us."

Now that the gods were involved, no one felt sorry for Zhao Yougen's miserable situation anymore, and some people even spat at him.

"You've done so much evil that even the God Stone can't stand it. You deserve it!"

"Just tie him to the tree. When the energy of the magic stone dissipates, send him to the government."

We can't let him go. If we make the divine stone unhappy, the whole village will be punished.

The village head also agreed and arranged two people to watch over it and not let anyone get close to the big locust tree.

Lin hardly slept all night.

After decocting the medicine, he made a thick pot of bone soup, scooped two pounds of flour, and rolled it into hand-rolled noodles.

The dish is made with bone soup as the base, accompanied by large pieces of boneless meat, a poached egg lying under the smooth and chewy noodles, and a few green wild vegetables floating on top.

Erlang stared at the noodles blankly.

The taste of meat from last night is still in his mouth, why is he eating meat again? Could he have been kicked stupid and is hallucinating?

Lin shoved the chopsticks into his hand and urged him, "Eat quickly, or it will get clumsy."

At this time, Xiaoliu woke up when he smelled the fragrance. Before he opened his eyes, he crawled under the kang table like a maggot.

"It smells like meat, smack, smack."

Lin held her forehead with her hand. Even though the noise was so loud last night, he didn't wake up. As soon as the meal was served, he woke up without being called.

I’m afraid that little head is filled with food?
