Chapter 609

"You guys, go over and clear the river."

After controlling a few people, Wu Xiaoshan immediately issued another order.

Several people had bitter faces and kept jumping in place, trying to relieve the cold on their bodies.

They are trembling all over now, not to mention resisting, even walking is difficult, how dare they be disobedient.

They had no choice but to go to the river and move those stones out.

After the river was cleared, the sun came out.

Several people's lips were purple from the cold, and thick frost had already hung on their beards and eyebrows.

"Xiaoshan, will they freeze to death like this?"

After all, Li Jing was a girl. Although she knew that these people were villains, she was still afraid that they would freeze to death.

After all, in that case, Wu Xiaoshan would become a murderer.

"It's okay, I can't die."

Wu Xiaoshan said something indifferently.

Immediately, he looked at Zhang Dabao and ordered: "Let them go to the front, and you come to me with their clothes."

"Brother, you see we dredged the river, so you let us go?"

The guy with a stone on his head begged Wu Xiaoshan for mercy while trembling.

The blood on his head has been frozen, so he won't lose too much blood to die for the time being.

However, Wu Xiaoshan had no intention of softening his heart at all, and said coldly: "Where is there so much nonsense, I will let you go down the mountain."

When a few people heard this, they heard hope.

Dang even walked ahead obediently, and quickened his pace in order to get down the mountain earlier.

Yesterday, Wu Xiaoshan and Li Jing walked all afternoon in order to set the route for future travel and mountain climbing.

Now, go back according to the original old road, and a group of people came out of Wolong Mountain an hour later.

The sun had already hung high, and the warm sunlight was shining on the earth, but the few people in front still didn't look warm at all.

Back in the village, the people who got up early to work, saw this posture, and surrounded them curiously.

"Xiao Shan, why did you go this early in the morning?"

"These guys look unfamiliar, they don't look like they're from our village."

"Why is Zhang Dabao in there too? He has changed his ways and turned to good, and stopped fighting against Xiao Shan?"

Amidst the doubts of the villagers, Wu Xiaoshan gave Zhang Dabao a disdainful look.

"Zhang Dabao is a guy who eats inside and out. This morning, before the sun came out, he took these people to the mountains to block the river, and I happened to catch him right away."

As soon as Wu Xiaoshan said this, the villagers immediately started cursing.

One by one either scolded Zhang Dabao for being useless, or scolded those bastards for looking for trouble in the village.

But soon, after scolding these people.

The villagers looked at Wu Xiaoshan curiously again.

"Xiao Shan, how did you know they would go to the mountains in the early morning?"

"And what's going on with this girl, I haven't seen it before."

"Why haven't I seen it before? She has been to our village before. Did you forget that she was trapped on the mountain in the middle of the night and almost fed the wild dogs?"

"It turned out to be her, then why did she run up the mountain with Xiao Shan in the middle of the night?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Jing's face turned red.

Wu Xiaoshan was also taken aback, feeling embarrassed.

Your grandpa, how could you forget this.

It's hard to explain now.

With a word of slander, Wu Xiaoshan's mind turned quickly, and soon he had an excuse.

"The river in our village was blocked last time. I have been thinking about it, but the weather is too cold to go up the mountain to guard. I just met Li Jing who came to the village yesterday, so I was going to borrow her tent. Come with me."

After such an explanation, the villagers suddenly realized and didn't ask any more questions.

"Zhang Dabao, do you think you are still a thing? You are also from Wolong Village. Your conscience let the dog eat you and join forces with outsiders to cause trouble in the village?"

Wu Xiaoshan was afraid that the villagers would ask him and Li Jing about what happened last night, so he quickly changed the topic and criticized Zhang Dabao.

The surrounding villagers naturally felt the same hatred for this matter.

"Zhang Dabao, you can't see that Xiaoshan is developing so well, so it's okay to trouble him, after all, it's a personal grievance. But if you block the river now, it's going to make things difficult for our whole village. What do you think we should do about it?"

"According to the previous village rules, his behavior of harming the village should be executed directly as a warning to others."

"That's right, even though it's a society ruled by law, we can't let him go lightly."

"I think it's better to just let him stand on the ice pile!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Dabao was shocked, and without thinking, he knelt down in front of the crowd with a plop.

"It's all my bastard. I shouldn't do such immoral things. Please forgive me. I promise I will never dare again."

This was the first time Li Jing heard about standing on the ice pile, so she asked Wu Xiaoshan curiously.

"Xiaoshan, what is an ice pile?"

Wu Xiaoshan couldn't help shivering when he heard the words standing on the ice pile.

Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, he had heard it from his grandfather before he could.

But he didn't dare to tell Li Jing directly, for fear of frightening her.

Immediately he smiled and shook his head and said, "It's nothing, don't ask me anything."

In the old society, the village was a small society.

There are rules outside, and there are rules in the village.

Almost every village has some specific lynchings to punish those who harm the village.

Such as dipping pig cages are relatively common.

It can stand on an ice pile, but few people know it.

In winter, when the river bed freezes, find a thick place to plan a hole in the ice, strip people naked and stuff them in from the waist down.

Then pour water and freeze it inside. In order not to let people die so quickly, the upper body must be tightly wrapped.

This is not the end, a tent has to be set up outside, and a brazier is set up inside, until the person is slowly tortured to death.

After a person dies, the tent and brazier are removed, and they are just stuck on the ice until the next year when the ice and snow melt in Kaicun, they are washed away by the river.

At that time, I heard my grandfather talk about this matter. In the hot dog days, Wu Xiaoshan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, shivering all over his body.

Those who don’t know about it are fine, but those who know about it will be scared to death just by hearing these three words.

So when Zhang Dabao heard that he was standing on an ice pile, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Nimma, aren't you usually crazy, why are you peeing now?"

Soon, a villager discovered that Zhang Dabao's pants were already wet.

The villagers gloated and laughed.

After hearing the sound, the old man Li rushed over, saw everyone gloating, and reprimanded them with a sullen face.

"It's been so many years, and you still talk about standing on the ice pile. Although Dabao is not honest, there is no need to use such vicious means to punish him, right?"

Uncle Li is not young and is an elder in the village.

When everyone saw him say this, they all put away the ridicule on their faces.

But letting Zhang Dabao go like this is definitely not enough. For a while, people began to discuss in low voices, thinking about ways to punish Zhang Dabao.

Boss Li looked at the crowd, lit a pot of dry tobacco, took two puffs, turned to look at Wu Xiaoshan and asked, "Xiaoshan, you captured him, what do you think about this matter?"
