On the way to sending the thief to the village chief's house, Lu Yunxi finally realized that this stupid thief had no idea what he was stealing!

He accidentally saw it while squatting on the tree. His aunt took out the menstrual pad secretly while no one was at home, washed it carefully and hung it to dry in the back of the yard.

Seeing his aunt being so cautious, he mistakenly thought that the menstrual belt was some particularly precious treasure, so he stole it when no one was paying attention.

After learning the truth, Lu Yunxi was speechless.

"Of course I treasure it! Do you know how rare our cloth is?! Everyone only has one set of clothes at most. Even the cloth used to wipe the table is very rare. Every household only has one piece! Not only the rag, but also firewood, food, and even fire sticks are all very precious! Do you understand? A broken home is worth a fortune!" Lu Yunxi showed a strange smile, "If you come to the village to steal things again next time, I will sell you for money! Anyway, I have been wanting to replace the things in my house for a long time!"

The little thief got goose bumps when he saw her smile and begged for mercy: "Auntie, I won't do it again! I had no idea you were living such a miserable life!"

She said "Shut up" in a cold voice, and the two of them happened to come to the village chief's house.

"Village chief, this guy actually stole something. What do you think we should do about it?"

The village chief looked at Lu Yunxi dragging a man towards him in confusion.

He twitched his lips and glanced at the gloomy Lu Yunxi. He felt that she looked more like a bad person than the bruised man on the ground.

"This..." He looked at the man with some embarrassment, not sure what to do.

After all, this was the first time a thief had been caught in the village in all these years! Although the villagers were noisy before, there wasn't much petty theft!

But we have to send him to the yamen... The journey to the yamen is long and dangerous. We can't let the young people of the village risk being targeted by a tiger and send him all the way to the town just for such an insignificant person!

After thinking for a long time, the village chief reluctantly came up with a solution: "How about this? I throw him in my woodshed and let him starve for three days. Then I drive him out of the village. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Lu Yunxi was about to nod, but suddenly thought of something and quickly shook his head.

"No! Village chief, these adventurers are always coming to steal things. We must keep a close eye on them. The thieves we caught this time can be used as a warning to others!"

The village chief was stunned for a moment, and then smiled meaningfully.

The two of them started to discuss in whispers.

"Everyone, go check it out! The village chief has caught a thief and says he's going to punish him!"

"Why should we follow him? Does he want us to help him beat him up?"

The villagers walked towards the village entrance, talking in low voices.

Many adventurers saw a large group of villagers walking towards the village entrance, and they couldn't help but follow them out of curiosity.

At the entrance of the village.

The village chief stood in the middle of the village entrance, next to a tall wooden frame.

By the time all the villagers had arrived, almost all the adventurers who saw this scene came over to join in the fun.

The village chief cleared his throat and said seriously, "Everyone, be quiet! I asked you all to come here today because we caught a thief!"

"I let bygones be bygones when someone stole something before. After all, adventurers didn't know the village rules back then," the village chief said with a serious face. "But it's been so long now, and I've said everything I need to say. And now they're stealing again? We won't tolerate such bad apples in our village!"

Everyone looked up at the village chief.

"So today, I specially let you see the punishment this person will receive!" The village chief turned his head and gave Lu Yunxi a look.

Lu Yunxi quickly hung the thief on a wooden rack, like drying bacon.

"This is the punishment for stealing in the village," the village chief said, motioning everyone to look at the thief hanging there. "He will be hung here for three days. During these three days, no one is allowed to give him anything to eat! Otherwise, you will be hung here with him. Do you understand?"

The villagers all shouted, "Understood!"

The adventurers' faces changed suddenly, sometimes blue, sometimes purple, as if paint had been spilled.

Until the afternoon of three days later.

When Lu Yunxi was playing chess with the village chief, an adventurer suddenly came up to him, stammering.

"I have something to do first..." She was about to avoid him, but saw the village chief waving at her.

She paused for a moment, then decided to listen to the village chief and sat down with peace of mind.

"What's the matter?" The village chief turned his head and looked at the adventurer with a calm tone.

The adventurer closed his eyes, looking ready to die. "Um... Village Chief, that thief at the village entrance... wasn't he released today?"

The village chief was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered that there was a person hanging outside: "Yes! I almost forgot, thanks for reminding me! If you have time, please help me put him down!"

The adventurer breathed a sigh of relief and ran out hastily.

At the entrance of the village.

The thief who was almost dried into bacon was finally released.

He burst into tears and hugged his little friend's thighs tightly like a baby.

There was no villager around at the moment, and all the people watching were adventurers. They felt sympathetic and gave the thief sympathetic looks.
