The old village chief was not in a hurry to speak for a while. Obviously, he knew very well that his decision was very important, and what he directly related to it would be the life and death of his son.
After thinking for a long time, the old village chief raised his head and looked at Lu Shen.
"Lu Shen, although the people in the village have generally chosen to forgive you, it does not mean that they have really forgiven you. Do you understand what I am talking about?"
"Dad, my child understands that the villagers' forgiveness is just because they reluctantly spared my life for your sake. This is because everyone is kind and has nothing to do with whether the child's fault is forgiven or not."
"It's good if you understand the truth." The old village chief nodded, and then continued: "As the saying goes, a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds. I have already made up my mind to drive you out of the village. Never come back."
"But since everyone is willing to save your life, then there is no need for me to kill you to death."
"However, although you can escape the death penalty, you cannot escape the punishment of living. You have done so many wrong things, and you still need to give everyone an explanation."
If the old village chief really spared Lu Shen like this, he really couldn't do it. Others don't hold him accountable, but that doesn't mean that you, a father, can just pretend that nothing happened. Those who deserve punishment always need to be given a lesson.
"Lu Shen understands and asks his father to punish him. My son is willing to accept any punishment."
"Okay, from now on, although you can stay in the village and you are still a villager in my village, you are not allowed to hold a public office in my village for the rest of your life. In other words, you are the lowest villager in my village. .”
"Yes." Lu Shen nodded.
From a dignified successor to a person who could never be the village chief, the gap in position can be said to have fallen directly from the sky to the ground.
Theoretically speaking, this kind of gap is really not something that ordinary people can accept. Now that Lu Shen can accept it so quietly, in fact, for Han Sanqian, he can already see a certain change in this guy.
"Of course, these are not enough. These are just downgrading you because you made mistakes. They are not considered punishments."
"The real punishment is that from today on, you will become a tool in the village. That is, if anyone needs help, you have to rush to help immediately."
"After helping one family, you need to help the next one. Your working hours are: work at sunset and rest at sunrise."
This punishment does not appear to be bloody or painful at all, but in fact, it is more ferocious than any punishment.
To put it bluntly, the old cows in the village may not have such working hours.
This almost requires you to work alone from morning to night, because you are not helping one person, but the whole village. Each household only needs one small thing to do every day. Together, it can keep you busy for almost a whole day. one day.
And these are obviously just the normal conditions.
If this happens during the busy farming season when there is a lot of farm work, it will be almost the most painful time for Lu Shen.
That really means working from morning till night, and I have to work continuously for who knows how long.
This is not torture, but in fact, it is far more desperate and suffocating than torture.
Many villagers actually frowned after hearing this punishment.
This is his own son, is he so cruel?
But in fact, only the old village chief knew best. Just because this was his own son, he should be punished more resolutely and cruelly than anyone else.
Only in this way, the father and his son will not be poked in the back, and they will not be said to be a family to a family.
Since Lu Shen already had a bad reputation and had made the whole village wrong, only by causing more trouble for themselves could they be more easily accepted by everyone in the village in the future.
Of course Han Sanqian knew the old village chief's intentions, so Han Sanqian did not have any involvement in the old village chief's decision.
He was just more willing to be a spectator at this moment.
"Lu Shen, the above punishment is your trigger from now on. The execution time has not been specified in detail. It may be one year, or it may be indefinite. Let me ask you, are you willing?"
