It was just past noon when we finished eating.

After seeing off Butler Wu and the white ape one after another, Cheng Miaomiao was so full that he slumped on the recliner for a while, and was about to go to the backyard to pick up Jianmu seedlings and move it to a nest, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of someone running over anxiously outside the yard.

"Uncle Cheng, Aunt Ye, Li is calling you to go to the ancestral hall!"

Ye Ning poked her head out of the room and asked doubtfully, "Did Li Zheng tell us what to do?"

"It's still about the pile of rubble statues in the morning. It is said that everyone should go to the ancestral hall to be a witness, and everyone in the village should go."

"Okay, let's go right away."

After Cheng Lin finished washing the dishes, he walked out of the kitchen shaking his hands, frowning.

He already knew almost everything about what happened in the morning from Zhang Wei. The mountain god told them in a dream that there were people worshiping evil gods in the village. The eldest brother and third brother were among the seven or eight people who were found hiding black stone statues in their homes.

Moreover, the matter of Brother Chen breaking his leg from the mountain has something to do with Saburo.

Ye Ning put down the matter at hand, and the couple looked at each other through the window, knowing each other's mind without saying anything.

Cheng Miaomiao picked up the man who was sleeping next to her, and shouted, "My brother and I are going too!"

After being fed at home for these years, it has become long and fleshy now, almost too lazy to be like a little hedgehog. If it is not necessary to often go to the valley to grow mushrooms, it will probably be fat into a ball.

Ji Huai walked out of the house.

The family of four went to the ancestral hall. It happened that Mrs. Yu and Dr. Zeng were also going out, so they decided to go together. The ancestral hall was not far from where they lived, just a few steps away.

The original ancestral hall in the village is very dilapidated.

Later, there was famine everywhere, and they still had some spare money to repair the ancestral hall and provide tribute, so the ancestral hall was in a state of disrepair.

Over the years, everyone in the village has become rich, so they jointly spent money to renovate and repair the ancestral hall, and expanded a part of it by the way. It was obviously an ancestral hall, but a mountain god statue was placed in the open space in front of it.

This was brought up by Li Zheng, saying that he wanted everyone in the village to remember the mountain god.

At this moment, the inside and outside of the ancestral hall were full of people, Cheng Miaomiao dragged Ji Huai and squeezed in through the crowd, only to hear heart-piercing curses coming from inside, it was extremely harsh at first, and then again It sounded familiar.

"What did my son do wrong, you have to treat him like this!"

"Which law in my dynasty stipulates that you can't believe in two gods?! I worshiped the Buddha and the Sanqing, but no one arrested me! Why do you arrest my son, you lard-covered things , die, die!"

Isn't this the voice of Mrs. Zhao?

Why is she going crazy again?

Cheng Miaomiao squeezed to the front of the crowd and saw seven or eight people kneeling in front of the entire side of the tablet in the ancestral hall, all tied up, and their families were all arranged to stand beside them.

Granny Zhao was cursing madly, some were crying, some were afraid, some were trying to intercede with Li Zheng, and some felt ashamed.

All the cracked and broken black stone statues were thrown on the ground.

Cheng Miaomiao couldn't help sighing: Grandpa Li is really getting faster and faster in handling things.

Afterwards, we need to find a way to get Bai Yuan and the others to come over and learn from Uncle Zhang and Grandpa Lizheng how to handle village affairs.

It's only been one morning, and if he can do this, it means that he has basically investigated their situation. The most serious of these people is Cheng Wen, whose black stone statue has grown a face.

And he was the most stubborn of them all.

You can still smell the strong smell of alcohol on his body when you get close.

Meng originally planned to take the two children back to her mother's house for two days, but she didn't expect that when she woke up in the morning, someone would knock on the door and tie up Cheng Wen and send him to the ancestral hall. Only then did she know what he had done secretly.

The thought of having such an evil thing at home made her hair stand on end.

Mrs. Qian was stopped below and tried her best to yell and curse. She didn't believe that the stone statue was an evil thing, and she didn't believe that Cheng Dalang had anything to do with Lao Chen's fall down the mountain: "This is a frame! Why do you frame us? !"

Ye Ning shook his head in his heart when he heard this.

Sister-in-law has encountered problems for so many years and still only finds problems from others. Since Li Zheng did such a thing, it means that he must have his reasons, and her yelling like this will not work at all.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law."

Someone called them from behind.

Cheng Wulang squeezed in from the outside and just stood beside them.

Ye Ning was surprised at first, then nodded to him: "Fifth brother."

Cheng Lin was a little surprised when he turned his head and saw him: "Fifth brother, why did you come back from the academy?"

His youthful and reckless face had long since faded away, and a calm bookishness appeared on his body. He said, "Brother Zhang sent someone to the academy to inform me. That's when I knew that something like this happened at home. If I don't come back, I can't justify it."

Seeing the child next to Cheng Lin and the two, he raised his hand and rubbed Cheng Miaomiao's head: "Miaomiao, Brother Huai, you are here too."

Cheng Miaomiao called out, "Uncle."

She raised her head and looked at him. They hadn't met many times in these years, but the change in this uncle was the most obvious.

Cheng Wulang, also known as Cheng Jun, has been farming at home since Cheng Wen destroyed Jiahe, he stopped playing around, and wanted to support the family. After that, his brothers and sisters-in-law all moved out of the old house.

After the villagers received the first batch of money for selling fragrant and salty grass, the old Cheng's family followed the second batch to start planting.

Even so, there is still a lot of money later.

The money was enough for them to live a prosperous life. After seeing the money, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Cheng stopped making trouble.

During that time, he had been thinking about whether he should take care of those acres of farmland at home or find another way to go out.Feeling confused, he went to the mountain temple to worship and asked for answers.

Cheng Miaomiao actually hesitated for a long time after hearing his voice.

In the end, I accidentally ran into Tang Wenjue and asked him. The suggestion he gave was to go to the academy to study and study. First, reading wisely can eliminate ignorance; Whether it is a person or a person, you can ask the court to bestow officials to do your best for the country and bring well-being to the people of a place.

After saying these words, Tang Wenjue proposed the idea of ​​​​letting her and Ji Huai go to the academy.

They were busy catching little monsters everywhere, so they naturally refused.

So Cheng Miaomiao relayed these words to Cheng Jun, and later heard that he went to the old scholar who taught in the village to hand over Shu Xiu.

Then, I passed the Tongsheng examination three years ago, and now I am continuing to study in the county academy to prepare for the second examination of scholar.

At this moment, the gap between the brothers finally appeared.

Some people go astray and break the law, some are ignorant and help the tiger, and some find the right path to a bright future.

Cheng Jun looked at the two elder brothers kneeling in the ancestral hall, his eyes fell on a certain figure, his expression became complicated in an instant, and he said in a low voice: "Actually, the third brother also looked for me when he came back."

"That thing...he wants to give it to me too."
