Qiu Miao: God is watching us.

There was only one house in the farm with lights on. Qiu Yanping and Gu Wenye looked at each other and quietly went in.

This house has not been lived in for a long time. The previous owner obviously did not live here. Also, two people died of illness in this house one after another. If the house was not sold together with the farm, who would buy such an unlucky house?

The attic light shone through the crack in the door, and Mrs. Bastin was behind it.

The door creaked open and Mrs. Bastin turned around suddenly as if frightened. "Who is it?!" she screamed.

"You?" Mrs. Bastin saw that the people coming were Qiu Yanping and Gu Wenye. She calmed down a little and raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face. While wiping her tears, she grinned at herself and laughed softly, "Yes, it doesn't make sense that I can just return those two clay dolls of unknown origin. I was thinking too well and too simply."

Qiu Yanping gently nudged Gu Wenye's arm and motioned him to look behind Mrs. Bastin, where he saw two young men lying on two simple single beds.

It’s not quite accurate to call him a man. Looking at his appearance, he is just a boy in his early twenties.

"The two lying there are Mrs. Bathgate's children, right?" Gu Wenye asked.

Mrs. Bastin looked at Gu Wenye quietly, and after a while she said, "Since you have found this place, you probably already know my identity, right?"

"Please accept my condolences." said Gu Wenye.

Mrs. Bastin smiled and shook her head, implying that she knew everything. She turned around slowly and looked at the boys lying on the two worn-out single beds. She was silent for a few seconds and then spoke slowly, "These two beds once belonged to me and my sister. When this farm was sold, the two single beds and this small attic were what I was most reluctant to part with. Who would have thought that the people lying here now are these two little beasts who caused the accidental death of my husband and children; who would have thought that these two little beasts are actually my sister's flesh and blood."

She sneered and said, "If it weren't for the two little bastards' negligence in the accident, how could so many people's families be destroyed? I just want them to get what they deserve, but my sister is extremely biased. If I hadn't investigated it myself and got to the bottom of it, these two little bastards might still be at large and would never have been exposed!"

"I wish I could tear their bones and eat their flesh and blood! But she hid these two little beasts here, in this attic, in our old bed, as if forcing me to recall those days. Does she think I will let them go for the sake of our past sisterhood? Haha..." Mrs. Bastin covered her eyes, "I let them go, but who has ever let my husband and children go?!"

Qiu Yanping knows very well that everyone who has reached this point has suffered, but no one should interfere with punishment artificially. Apart from the law of nature, who else has this right?

In his previous life, he ignored the way of heaven and thought he was a righteous teacher, but in fact, the change he made not only saved one person, but also affected the lives of others. As the saying goes, a small move affects the whole body, and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people have changed because of him, for better or for worse, who can bear this responsibility?

Therefore, in this life, he would never dare to act rashly again. He looked at Mrs. Bastin, and an inexplicable sadness surged in his heart. He slowly said, "They will be punished as they deserve, but this should not be done by you."

"Their punishment? Where is it? Why can't I see it?" Mrs. Bastin gave a short, sharp sneer, "Am I blind? Or is God blind?!"

Mrs. Bastin did not give Qiu Yanping a chance to speak. She pointed at the two big boys on the bed and said, "I hate them. Even though they are my own nephews, I still hate them with my teeth itching. I thought that the first time I saw them, I would not be able to help but rush up and stab them with a dagger, but what is the reality?" Mrs. Bastin laughed sarcastically, "Bathhouse put them here, in this attic, and I realized I couldn't do it. Nowhere else would it be like here, as if there were invisible hands firmly holding the knife in my hand."

"Here are the warmest memories of my entire childhood. This attic was used by my father to punish disobedient children when we were young. Both Basgo and I were locked up in this small attic. Disobedient children who made mistakes could only spend the night in this attic, and sometimes they could not even have dinner. This attic is dark and deep, and it is the nightmare of all children. I will always remember the day when my father locked me up in this attic. I didn't even have dinner. Basgo secretly brought me up with food. I made a big mistake that time, and all I knew was that my father was furious. Later, Basgo, who secretly brought food up behind my father's back, was discovered by my father and was also locked up in this attic by my father."

"She was obviously shaking with fear, but she still hugged me tightly and told me that there was nothing to be afraid of because she was there."

"She doesn't look trustworthy at all." Mrs. Bastin laughed, and the expression on her face softened a little, less cold and hysterical than before. She continued, "But at that time, I felt that she was my guardian angel. Even later, even after we each started our own families, I still trusted her so much..."

"But it was her child! It took away all the good things I had!" Mrs. Bastin clenched her fists again and growled.

"They not only took away my husband and my children, they also took away Bathgate." Mrs. Bastin looked at Qiu Yanping and Gu Wenye. "At that time, I was shocked by the existence of the two clay dolls. I didn't know why she knew such evil things. I wanted to snatch the two clay dolls, but she threw them into the sea."

"Then I watched her body gradually become cold and hard, frost gradually covered her body, cold air rose from her feet, and I couldn't help her. I watched her struggle in fear in front of me, but it was useless, and she was sealed up bit by bit by the ice." Mrs. Bastin said, "This all happened after she threw the two clay dolls into the sea. The situation developed so quickly that no one could take any measures. I could only move her into the basement."

"Now I have nothing." Mrs. Bastin smiled desperately.

"Mrs. Bathgate's situation can be resolved." Qiu Yanping spoke. He noticed Mrs. Bastin's condition and realized that only Mrs. Bathgate could stop her.

Sure enough, Mrs. Bastin paused for a moment, and looked at Qiu Yanping, "What do you mean?"

"Mrs. Bathgate's condition is due to the backlash from the clay dolls. She sank the pair of clay dolls to the bottom of the sea, and the extreme cold of the deep sea backlashed on her twice as much. If the two souls of the pair of clay dolls can return to their original bodies, the contract between Mrs. Bathgate and the clay dolls will naturally be lifted, and the backlash will naturally disappear." Qiu Yanping said, "If you believe in me, I can invite the souls of the two clay dolls back to their bodies, but I need a promise from you. You must promise that you will not touch the two children."

Mrs. Bastin was surprised for a moment, but then she turned cold again when she heard Qiu Yanping's request. "You're begging for them?"

"They will receive the punishment they deserve," Qiu Yanping said, pointing to Gu Wenye beside him. "He is a soldier, remember? He has the right to arrest these two people and seek justice for the accident and put a real end to it."

Mrs. Bastin fell silent after hearing this. She stood there in silence for a long time. She looked at the place deeply, took a deep breath, and finally threw out the laser knife hidden in her hand.

…

Mrs. Bastin watched with her own eyes as Qiu Yanping drew the souls out of the two clay dolls. The two pale milky white souls seemed to be torn apart and reluctantly escaped from the heads of the clay dolls. With a crisp sound, the clay dolls, without their souls, broke apart. The two souls had no other place to return to except the physical body, so they could only slowly sink into it.

All this was done in Mrs. Bathgate's small house with warm yellow walls. As her soul returned to her body, the ice coffin that froze Mrs. Bathgate finally began to show signs of melting. Mrs. Bathgate looked at the melting ice coffin and asked hoarsely, "Do you promise that they will be sent to the trial seat?" She didn't even look at the two boys again.

"Yes. Their actions will be exposed and they will receive the due judgment." Gu Wenye made the assurance.

Mrs. Bastin nodded slightly, took another deep look at the ice coffin, turned and left.

"You're leaving?" Qiu Yanping was stunned. He thought that Mrs. Bathgate was the key to making Mrs. Bastin give up her revenge, or at least Mrs. Bastin would wait until she woke up.

"I will never forgive her concealment and protection in my life." Mrs. Bastin said coldly, "Leaving is my only choice."

Qiu Yanping and Gu Wenye both fell silent.

Mrs. Bathgate finally recovered from the freezing cold. She fell forward and was caught by Qiu Yanping. Mrs. Bathgate shivered all over. Qiu Yanping frowned and put his coat on her.

Mrs. Bathgate held Qiu Yanping's hand tightly, her eyes blurred but she tried to focus, looking at the completely blurry front - the ice destroyed her retina, she could only see blurry double images and a white light - she spoke in a hoarse voice, trembling and asked, "Bastin? I heard your voice...was it you...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

Tears flowed from her unconscious eyes and her voice was hoarse and broken.
