After listening to Chen Dayong's words, Chen Ermao was silent for a while.
After a long time, he took a long breath and said, "I'd better ask my ancestors."
Chen Dayong shook his head and said no more. He knew that it would be difficult for his ancestor to speak now. Everything still depends on Chen Xiaobei's intention.
When Chen Dayong came back, Chen Xiaobei had already finished the wooden cage.
Chen Xiaobei made it based on Chen Ermao's height. There was almost no extra space, so he pushed the person in with his hands behind his back and wanted to escape, unless the person knew magic.
Chen Xiaobei called two village guards to carry the cage to the river first. Then he turned around and rushed to the big locust tree to take Chen Ermao there.
At this time, all the villagers gathered around the big locust tree.
The ancestor also came, but he stood in the crowd and said nothing.
But after Chen Ermao saw him, he couldn't help but get excited and kept shouting, "Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor."
The ancestor paused, then reluctantly walked out with a cane to take a look. Looking at Chen Ermao, he shook his head slightly, "Ermao, when you get to the underworld, you should admit your mistakes to the Lord of Hell. In the next life, you will be reborn into a good family, and don't do those unconscionable things again."
Chen Ermao said with a tearful voice, "Old ancestor, I know that I cannot escape the death penalty. I only ask for one thing. Can you bury me in my ancestors' graves after I die? I think I want to stay with my parents in the future."
Hearing this, the ancestor was silent for a while. If it had been in the past, he would have dared to take the initiative, but recalling Chen Xiaobei's attitude last night, he hesitated.
Finally, he sighed, "Er Mao, you made a big mistake. Now the village chief is Chen Xiaobei. He has the final say in matters big and small. I don't dare to promise you. You should tell him later." Bar."
At this moment, I heard someone starting to make a noise, "Here comes the chief, here comes the chief."
Along with the shouting, Chen Xiaobei was seen coming from a distance with Chen Dayong and others. Chen Xiaobei walked at the front with a sullen face.
Dayong and others followed silently. Although the group did not speak, they had a kind of majesty that people dared not look up to.
Liu Rumei, who was mixed in the crowd, was also cheered up when she saw Chen Xiaobei's expression.
There was clearly a hint of murderous intent in Chen Xiaobei's body, which was very different from what he had seen in Chen Xiaobei's past.
Perhaps Chen Xiaobei began to transform into a real man from this moment on.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei coming over, the ancestor also subconsciously stepped aside and nodded slightly to Chen Xiaobei without speaking.
Chen Xiaobei stopped and turned around, looked around at the people present, his expression softened a little, and said to his ancestor, "Old ancestor, you should say a few words."
At this moment, Chen Ermao suddenly spoke first and said, "Brother Xiaobei, brother Xiaobei, I want to ask you something. I want to ask you something."
As he spoke, he knelt down and said, "Brother Xiaobei, after I die, please bury me in my ancestral grave. I beg you."
Facing Chen Ermao, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to him, Chen Xiaobei felt a little hesitant.
He also understood one thing. This was his vow to let Chen Ermao die without a burial place. This is the biggest shock to the villagers. What will happen if they let go.
Chen Sanqiu kidnapped Cui Hongyu, but in the end Chen Xiaobei did not let them be buried in their ancestral graves. Chen Ermao was in the same situation.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei snorted coldly, pointed at Chen Ermao and said sternly, "Chen Ermao, you have been deregistered by the county. You are no longer a villager of my Hetou Village. You have also been expelled from the genealogy, and you are no longer my Chen Ermao." After you have left home, how can you have the dignity to enter your ancestor’s grave again?”
What he said was reasonable, righteous and ruthless. Chen Ermao felt so heartbroken that he collapsed there and never spoke again.
At this time, the ancestor was also surprised. Chen Xiaobei was completely different from before. The man in front of him was killing and decisive. Chen Ermao's eyes were full of murderous intent.
This is the attitude and determination a man should have when he ends his love and hatred.
After Chen Xiaobei finished speaking, he ignored Chen Ermao, but turned around to support his ancestor and took two steps towards the middle of the crowd.
The ancestor cleared his throat and finally spoke. He pointed at Chen Ermao and said to everyone present, "Everyone has seen the consequences of doing evil. Sanqiu a few days ago, Chen Ermao today."
"From now on, remember to be a responsible person and don't make any crooked ideas. God will never let a bad person go."
After saying that, he looked around at everyone present again, gently paused his crutch, "Did you hear everything?"
"I heard it, I heard it."
Everyone present agreed.
The ancestor then turned to look at Chen Xiaobei.
"Xiao Bei, let's do it. My legs and feet are not very sharp, so I won't be able to pass."
In fact, Chen Xiaobei also knew that no matter how he said it, Chen Ermao could be regarded as having grown up under the eyes of his ancestors. At this stage, his ancestors felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he would not go if he didn't go.
Chen Xiaobei waved his hand, and Chen Dayong and others swarmed up and tied Chen Ermao tightly. Then he tied it with a rope and handed the other end to Chen Xiaobei's hand.
Chen Xiaobei pulled the rope and said to Chen Ermao, "Follow me to the river." After saying that, he turned around and left.
At this time, Chen Ermao didn't dare to think anything wrong, and let Chen Xiaobei lead him, like a dying dog, not even daring to walk half a step slower.
Chen Xiaobei pulled Chen Ermao forward and walked around four acres of land to the river. At this time, the village protection team had already carried the prepared wooden cage over, and some people even came forward to break the ice.
Seeing Chen Ermao coming, the village guards opened the wooden cage and worked together to stuff Chen Ermao inside.
Then Chen Dayong handed a rope to Chen Xiaobei.
Chen Xiaobei took the rope and tied the wooden cage firmly, and tied two big rocks on it.
Seeing this scene, all the villagers present knew that Chen Ermao was doomed.
Some villagers recalled the sneaky things Chen Ermao did in the village and kept shaking their heads and sighing.
Chen Ermao could no longer control his emotions at this time, grinning and crying.
But what's the use of crying now?
At this time, behind the crowd. Cui Hongyu and Liu Rumei also came.
Liu Rumei supported Cui Hongyu and whispered in her ear, "Sister Hongyu, this Chen Ermao deserves to die. Think about what he did to you."
Cui Hongyu nodded slightly, "It stands to reason that he should have died a long time ago. Miss Liu allowed him to live for so long, and he has already lived for a few more months."
Liu Rumei nodded slightly, "My father is kind. If I had known that he had committed such a thing, I would have killed him with a knife."
Cui Hongyu smiled slightly and said, "It's not a bad idea now. Let my husband vent his bad words, and let everyone see that whoever does evil again will suffer the same fate."
While the two were talking, they heard an exclamation from the crowd, and saw Chen Xiaobei greeting several village protection team members, lifting Chen Ermao and throwing it into the river with a bang.
