After things settled down, only Xiao Ge and Ling Xiao remained near the tent. Xiao Ge walked to the tent and sat down next to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao opened his eyes after sensing someone beside him, and the young man handed him a piece of paper.

The thin sheet of paper was covered with handwritten scriptures on the front and curses on the back. These were the scriptures under the Buddha statue that Red Eyes had asked Jieyuhua to retrieve.

"Thank you." Ling Xiao folded up the scriptures that were supposed to be burned and ate them.

The young man had been watching his movements closely, and when Ling Xiao met his gaze, he understood the meaning behind it: "You know?"

Ling Xiao knew, of course. He could hear the conversation between Red Eye and them the whole time, but he pretended not to hear. He needed to know what Red Eye had said because he was not at ease. From the moment Red Eye said he hated hawthorn, he knew that Red Eye was not him.

What he hates most is not hawthorn, but milk.

But Red Eyes didn't say it out loud. He only knew that hawthorn could make his stomach hurt, so something must have happened later that he used to lie to people.

Hawthorns are so sweet, how could he dislike them?

"Then what does it mean that you brought it to me, young man? Why didn't you destroy it immediately? Do you not trust that red-eyed guy, or do you think I have a certain right to know?" Ling Xiao smiled, his eyes sparkling with starlight.

The young man didn't answer him. He stood up and left Ling Xiao's side without looking back at Ling Xiao again.

Ling Xiao also stopped smiling and closed his eyes again the moment he stood up.

It all seemed like a minor incident, as if nothing had happened. As the sun set, the group got up again and continued walking back to the village.

In just four or five days, the village became a mess. The once clean and spacious village doctor's house was smashed to pieces, and there were signs of excrement and urine on the broken walls. Even the village chief's house, which was where the village doctor stayed, was damaged.

The villagers did not blame the village doctor for his death. They firmly believed that the village doctor had been punished by heaven, and hung his body at their door. It is said that on the seventh day after his death, the villagers would burn down the village doctor and his house together to ask for heaven's forgiveness.

Ignorance is a terrible thing.

Ignorance is something that can be exploited.

"That's a bit much." After everyone got on the bus, Xie Yuhua mouthed to Ling Xiao.

"But I hate him, he's a greedy man, he deserves to die."

"Don't look at me like that. I like equal exchanges. It doesn't have to be equal, but I will never be the one who suffers a loss." As he spoke, Ling Xiao lightly tapped Xie Yuhua's chest with his finger and continued:

"If he wants 500 million, he has to offer 500 million in exchange. To me, this shabby village isn't even worth that much."

I'm a person of my word, and if I said I'd burn it for him, I would definitely burn it for him. Don't people in the village say they set fires on the seventh day after someone's death? Then I'll burn it for him on that day.

You tell me, what would it be like if those people just watched their money fall into the fire and couldn't get it? Someone would definitely rush in to save the money, only to lose their life in the process. That scene would be incredibly interesting.

Wu Xie swallowed hard. Why did goosebumps rise all over his body after Ling Zi said that? He felt a chill run down his spine...

"I'll take you to see a doctor, a psychologist, when I get back."

Just as Ling Xiao opened his mouth to refute Jie Yuhua's words, Jie Yuhua said, "You are not allowed to refuse!"

No reverse hypnosis allowed!

Ling Xiao closed his eyes listlessly, then opened them again after a while, his eyes slightly red, and pitifully said, "I'm not sick!" Then he shrank back into the corner by the car door and ignored everyone.
