It was obvious that Miao Changsheng was the one who did all that. That incident had completely crossed his bottom line. However, Miao Xihe and the others were very special. It was not convenient for him to make things difficult for Miao Changsheng at the moment. He still needed them.
Hmm!
He paced around the house several times before calming down.
He decided to bide his time for the time being. However, the incident would not be over just like that.
That night, He County was in a state of panic.
Miaoxi River and the others were also on tenterhooks. As Miaoxi River had said, they were outside, not in the stockade. They could not be too casual and presumptuous. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Police sirens were heard outside all night.
It was scary but not dangerous.
After dawn, they immediately set off and returned to the stockade.
"They're gone?"
"They're gone, Secretary Guo."
"Got it. Go do what you need to do."
"Okay."
The storm temporarily stopped after most people were rescued, but it would not be over just like that. The incident had alarmed the highest level because it was at the end of the year. Moreover, several vicious incidents had occurred in that place in a row. Directly attacking the civil service was a serious provocation that was absolutely not allowed. However, the Spring Festival was approaching, so it was not good to make a big deal out of it. Otherwise, it would have been a different scene.
"Sister, why don't you stay here for the New Year?" Hearing that Guo Sirou insisted on leaving, Guo Zhenghe felt uneasy.
"I'm fine," Guo Sirou said with a smile. Her face did not look very good.
"Well, be careful on the road," Guo Zhenghe said. "Write me a letter when you get back. Quickly find a reliable doctor. After the New Year, quickly go to Wang Yao's place."
"Oh, I know," Guo Zhenghe said. "You be careful here too."
"Well, I know what to do."
Guo Zhenghe personally sent his sister to the nearest airport and watched her get on the plane.
"Nothing must happen to her," Guo Zhenghe said. …
In the Valley of Thousands of Medicine …
At Miaoxi River's residence.
Miao Changqing's upper body was naked. His body was full of bloody wounds. They were all pulled out by rattan dipped in salt water.
"Father, I was wrong." Miao Changsheng's face was pale as he knelt on the ground. His body trembled uncontrollably, and he looked like he was about to faint.
"Water."
A bucket of cold water was poured over his body.
"Raise your head and look at me," Miaoxi River said coldly.
Miao Changsheng, who was sober, raised his head and looked at his biological father.
"Do you know where you went wrong?"
"I understand, father."
"You're at fault, and so am I," Miao Xihe said. "You're my son, but that doesn't mean I'll side with you. What you did outside yesterday seriously threatened the safety of the stockade. If the heritage of the stockade, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, is destroyed because of your mistake, you deserve to die. Do you understand?"
"I know. I was wrong, Father."
"Take him out and deal with him according to the rules."
"Patriarch, it's already the new year. What do you think?"
"Can the rules be broken during the New Year?" Miaoxi River said coldly.
"Yes."
Just like that, Miao Changsheng was taken out and tied to a big tree in the middle of the village. His upper body was naked, and his body was covered with wounds.
"What happened?"
"Isn't that the patriarch's son, Changsheng?"
"Yes, what did he do wrong?"
The people in the stockade were very surprised because this punishment had not been carried out for a long time. No one had made such a mistake, so it was not necessary to carry it out.
"Oh, he really did it!"
"What did he do wrong?"
The Miao Qingfeng, who was injured but could still move around, looked at the young man tied to the tree. He was very surprised. He asked the people who went out with Miaoxi River.
"He put a gu bug in someone."
"Put a gu bug in someone outside the stockade?"
"Yes."
"Did someone die?"
"No, the patriarch saved him."
"Putting a gu bug is indeed against the rules, but he didn't die. He shouldn't have done this. After all, he is his son. Ah, who did he put the gu bug in?" Miao Qingfeng asked.
"The sister of Secretary Guo of He County."
"What?!" Miao Qingfeng was stunned.
These people didn't know what kind of family Secretary Guo was from, but he knew! He also knew what kind of person the patriarch's only son was. He was good at everything except for one thing. He liked pretty girls. He made a mistake in the stockade and was grounded by the patriarch for half a year. He thought that things would be better, but he didn't expect that he would cause such a big trouble. If the Guo Family wanted to take revenge, it would be very scary.
"No wonder the patriarch was angry!" He sighed.
Miao Changsheng was tied to the tree for the whole day and night. He couldn't eat and could only drink water.
Huff! Hiss!
The next day, the sun rose, and he was still tied to the tree.
Three days passed in a row. Three days.
Three days later, the annual Spring Festival came.
He was released, and the stockade became lively. It was a custom passed down for hundreds of years. It was very lively.
Thousands of miles away in Jing …
The Guo family was a bit quiet during the Spring Festival.
The father and son were away for the Spring Festival and couldn't come back. There were only the mother and daughter at home, so it was a bit quiet.
"Sirou, I think you should eat more."
"Okay."
Since coming back from He County in southern Yunnan, Guo Sirou's face didn't look good. It was slightly yellow. Her mother was very worried.
"After the Spring Festival, you can go to Wang Yao's place to have a look."
"Okay," Guo Sirou said.
In the mountain village, there were Spring Festival couplets, firecrackers, and cooking meat in big pots. It was a lively Spring Festival.
Wang Yao's mother cooked a table full of dishes. It was very sumptuous. Wang Yao drank a few glasses of wine with his father. He also took the meat cooked by his mother to Nanshan Hill for the dogs, eagles, and snakes on the mountain.
"Come, eat more. Happy Spring Festival, San Xian, Da Xia, Xiaohei."
Woof! Woof! San Xian barked happily.
"I won't be on the mountain tonight. I guess I won't be on the mountain for the next few days. I'll leave the mountain to you guys."
Woof! Woof!
Jia Zizai and Hu Mei were also busy for several days. They steamed buns and steamed flower cakes. The couple had been busy since the 26th of December. Zhong Liuchuan and Zhong Anxin were also busy. This was their first Spring Festival in the village. They were very happy.
"How about we gather together?" Jia Zizai asked.
"This?" Zhong Liuchuan was stunned.
"I think it's OK," Hu Mei said with a smile.
They were originally neighbors.
"It's also lively if we gather together!"
"Anxin?"
"Okay," Zhong Anxin said.
"Well, come to my house. We'll have New Year's Eve dinner together!"
The two families gathered together to have New Year's Eve dinner. Hu Mei was busy cooking a table full of dishes.
In the evening, the family gathered together to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
That night, Wang Yao didn't stop calling until after 10 o 'clock. Some people called to wish him and his family a happy new year, while others called to wish his elders, relatives, and friends a happy new year.
The next day, on the first day of the Spring Festival, he visited the village. On the second day of the Spring Festival, he went up the mountain to visit the graves and worship the ancestors. In the afternoon, Wang Yao left the mountain village and took a plane to Jing. He went to the Su family's house to wish them a happy new year and pick up Su Xiaoxue.
He first met Su Xiaoxue's mother and then went to his second aunt's house. Su Xiaoxue's family usually didn't go back during the Spring Festival. They didn't have any relatives in Jing. When they saw Wang Yao, they were very happy and insisted that he stay for dinner. Wang Yao finally declined. He then went to the small courtyard where he lived for a long time to wish Chen Ying and Chen Zhou a happy new year.
It was already noon by the time they finished. He and Su Xiaoxue took a plane back to the mountain village that night.
Wang Yao's parents had been waiting at home for a long time. His sister and brother-in-law also stayed at home that day. It was very lively when the whole family was together.
Wang Ru's belly was very big. The expected date of delivery was in more than a month.
The next day, Wang Yao drove Su Xiaoxue to visit the main relatives. He took her to visit them as a way of paying a New Year's visit.
"Are you tired?"
"I'm fine," Su Xiaoxue said with a smile.
"I'll be fine after today. By the way, we won't eat at home after we go back. Let's go to Jia Zizai's house, okay?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you," Su Xiaoxue said with a smile.
Jia Zizai had invited him to get together since the first day of the Spring Festival. It was difficult to refuse.
