Da Zhuang's mother was nailed directly to the ungrateful pillar.
"If you ask me, Da Zhuang's wife deserved to be beaten."
"In my opinion, the punishment was too light."
"This person cannot be so heartless." The clan elder shook his head in disappointment, and even looked at Dazhuang's family with displeasure in his eyes.
Da Zhuang's mother looked around and noticed that everyone was looking at her. Her heart skipped a beat and she realized that she had angered everyone today and felt a little guilty.
Da Zhuang's father walked up to her, slapped her in the face, and angrily said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Our whole family is grateful to Su Yatou."
Da Zhuang's mother covered her face, pushed the man away and ran away.
No one noticed that Su Yin and the other two had returned.
The three of them stood quietly behind the crowd, watching this farce.
Butcher Yang whispered, "Niece, you are right. You can't be too nice to people. If you are nice to them, they will get used to you. In the end, it will be your fault."
He touched the bag of silver in his pocket, thinking that if anyone in the family had a headache or fever, he could use this money to help them.
Now it seems that this sum of money cannot be made known to anyone, otherwise it might cause some trouble.
Yang Dahe had the same idea.
Yang Dahe patted Su Yin on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't take that person's words to heart. Everyone still cares about you. Don't be discouraged by this small group of people. You are not wrong, but those conscienceless people are wrong."
Su Yin shook her head. She was not as sad as her uncle thought.
She has nothing to regret in doing what she does, but human nature is something that you should never measure by your own standards, or demand of others.
Life is full of different things, and some people know how to be grateful, just like Ms. Xu.
Some people don't know how to be grateful, just like Da Zhuang's mother.
The way she behaves and does things never changes because of what others say or do.
In fact, she is not as fragile, selfless, or kind as everyone thinks.
Everyone is selfish. She doesn't mind helping when she can, but when she is in danger, she won't be so easy to talk to.
Of course, this is a help. She is not such a saint that she treats everyone equally.
She only helps those who should be helped. She won't even blink an eye even if someone she shouldn't help dies in front of her.
So, uncle, uncle, you really think too well of me.
Su Yin didn't say anything.
Even if she said it now, her uncle probably wouldn't believe it and would just think she was just saying it for show. Later he would understand what kind of person his niece was.
Just don't accuse her of being cold-blooded when the time comes.
Finally someone in the crowd noticed the three of them and exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh, Su girl and the others are back."
Su's mother, who had been worried just now, now showed joy on her face. She walked towards her with a few quick steps and grabbed her ear.
"You damned girl, you made your mother worry to death."
"Mom, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts."
As soon as she cried out in pain, Su's mother immediately let go of her hand.
"Have you eaten?" Seeing that she looked exhausted, he asked with concern.
"No, I'm hungry."
Su Baozhu quickly scooped a large bowl of thick rice porridge from the pot and said, "I've been waiting for you to come back to eat. Come on, eat. If you don't come back, your sister-in-law won't eat."
Su Yin handed the bowl of porridge in her hand to her mother, "Mom, you eat first."
Mother Su rolled her eyes at her and said, "There are plenty of pots. You don't need to wait any longer. Eat quickly. You have to go and tell your ancestors later."
"Um."
Su Yin stopped refusing and squatted under the big tree, drinking the thick porridge in big gulps.
I went and came in a hurry, and I was rushing all the way. I was very tired and hungry. I drank a bowl of porridge while it was still hot. It went down my stomach in one gulp. My stomach felt better, and my whole body felt better.
After Yang Dahe and Yang the Butcher returned to the camp, they were treated the same as Su Yin.
After dinner, the three of them went to the camp where the headman was.
"You three are tired after a day, sit down."
The four of them sat on each side.
"What's the situation outside? Is there any sign of that group coming back?"
Su Yin said, "Those people are dead. They must have been hunted down and killed."
Yang Dahe and Yang the Butcher both nodded.
"They are all dead, and we are safe for now. However, it is best not to let outsiders know that we surrounded and killed those five people today, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble. I see that the identities of those people are not simple, and the people chasing them are not simple either."
"If people knew that we killed those five people, I'm afraid everyone would be in danger."
They are ordinary people and cannot afford to offend these big shots.
Yang Lizheng nodded continuously, "You have considered it very carefully. I will instruct everyone in the village to keep their mouths shut. If anyone talks without thinking and spreads this matter, I will expel that person from the family tree according to the clan rules."
In ancient times, being expelled from the family tree was a serious crime. If people knew about it, they would have difficulty taking a single step forward when outside.
How can the character of a person who is expelled by his tribe be good? Such a person is naturally unpopular.
This is the characteristic of the times.
Yang Fu asked, "Are they really all dead? Are there any fish that escaped?"
This question confused Yang Dahe and Yang the Butcher. They saw dead bodies all over the ground. They didn't know how many people there were and how many were lying there, but they had never counted them carefully.
When the two didn't know how to respond, Su Yin spoke up, "They're all dead. When I noticed something was wrong with them, I counted the number of people on the other side. After I got there, I also counted the people at the scene. Except for the five people we killed, the rest died there. No one escaped."
Even if someone escapes, the people chasing them will never let them go.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Third Grandfather, have the people who were looking for the spring water returned?"
"I came back earlier than you did. I looked for it according to your instructions, but I didn't find any spring water."
Su Yin said, "Third Grandfather, if we can't find it tomorrow, maybe the shopkeeper remembered it wrong, or maybe the mountain spring has dried up in the current situation. Let's go back to the official road from another path."
The so-called spring water is impossible to exist. I don't want them to waste too much time on it, and I can't expose my predictive dream, so I can only compromise.
She saw from the map that by going around the shortest hill ahead, she could bypass the bloody road and return to the official road.
Yang Lizheng nodded, "You are right. Let's search for another half a day tomorrow. If we can't find it after half a day, we will leave. We have been traveling so hard during this period, so it's a good opportunity for the elderly, the weak, women and children to rest for half a day."
After making the decision, Yang Lizheng summoned all the men in every household and asked them to select the person who would search for water the next day.
Su Yin didn't want to worry about these things, so she went back to her camp to rest.
