Chapter 116 All Ran Away
Aunt Hua was so frightened that she huddled into Zhang Hunter's arms, not daring to show her face. Zhang Hunter nervously looked at the people who suddenly appeared, and quickly picked up the clothes scattered on the ground, covering her important parts with a mess: "Who are you?"
When they got closer, they could see clearly that they were all people from their village, led by the village head, who also saw Zhang the hunter.
At this time, Hunter Zhang was naked, with a woman in his arms. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what a good thing he had done.
"Uncle, the village head." Hunter Zhang stuttered.
"Put on your clothes and go back and talk." The headman flicked his sleeves and walked away angrily. It was really embarrassing.
Aunt Hua regretted so much that tears were streaming down her face. If she had known earlier, she would not have come. Now it was all over, all over. If she was caught having an affair with someone, she would be thrown into a pig cage. She didn't want to die.
In the end, the two were still locked up in the clan ancestral hall. Such a huge scandal had happened in Qinghe Village that several respected elders in the village agreed overnight to hold a public trial of the matter the next morning.
This incident spread to every corner of Qinghe Village overnight. The clan ancestral hall was usually empty and would only be opened when there was something important in the village.
Today, however, the place was packed with people. Several elderly people from the village had already taken their seats, all with solemn expressions on their faces. The head of the village stood up and coughed lightly.
"Something shameful happened in our village last night. I'm sure you all know what it was. They have ruined the reputation of Qinghe Village like this. We must not tolerate them. Whoever did this must be held accountable for their actions."
"Bring in Aunt Hua and Hunter Zhang."
Soon, Aunt Hua was brought over by the villagers, covered in dust, but Hunter Zhang was nowhere to be found. The villager ran to the head of the village and whispered a few words to him. The head of the village was surprised and turned around to discuss with several elders.
"What's going on? Where's Hunter Zhang? Why didn't you bring him here as well?"
"Aunt Hua, the name really lives up to her reputation. I don't know how many men she has been with."
"You have your own man, but you're still thinking about someone else's man. Bah, how shameless."
Hunter Zhang's wife, Wang, had been waiting in the crowd long ago. When she saw Aunt Hua being brought over, she seized the opportunity, stepped forward, grabbed her hair, and tore it with all her strength.
Aunt Hua was caught off guard by the beating. By the time she came to her senses, she was already pinned to the ground. Wang's family was a butcher and she was stronger than most women. In just two or three rounds, she had Aunt Hua pinned down. With her hands outstretched, her strong, fleshy hands struck Aunt Hua in the face, left and right, and she cried for her parents.
None of the onlookers stepped forward to stop the fight.
It's because Aunt Hua is usually unpopular that people want to slap her in the face when they see her like this, so how can they stand up for her?
You deserve to be beaten for doing such a thing. You should be beaten hard.
After a while, Aunt Hua's mouth was bleeding, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were in a mess. In addition, she had hardly slept the whole night, and she was frightened and extremely embarrassed. She was no longer the same as before.
The village head saw that the beating was almost over, so he ordered people to pull them apart: "Wang, stop beating them."
"Beat this bitch to death. She stole my man and put him on my head. Bah." Wang seemed still unsatisfied and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on Aunt Hua's face.
The village head ignored her and said to the villagers, "Zhang the Hunter ran away last night. He was not born in our village. He fled with his father a few years ago. Our ancestors were kind and took him in. Today, such a scandal has arisen. The clan has unanimously decided to expel Zhang the Hunter and his family from Qinghe Village."
After a pause, he continued, "Although he ran away, Aunt Hua is unforgivable. She did something so immoral and brought shame to our entire village. Therefore, the elders of the tribe have unanimously decided to immerse him in a pig cage at noon tomorrow."
In ancient times, clan elders had the absolute right to punish clan members who committed serious mistakes, and even the county magistrate could not change the situation.
Aunt Hua, who was slumped on the ground, rolled her eyes and fainted. Soon, a large stain of urine appeared under her body.
Li Laoliu had just arrived with his son when he heard the last sentence. He was stunned. Ermao and Sanmao looked at their mother falling to the ground and ran over crying. Only Damao stood there without moving. In fact, he had known it a long time ago.
No matter how Li Laoliu pleaded, the unanimous decision of the elders could not be changed.
In the evening, Li Laoliu took some food and brought his son to see Aunt Hua off for the last time.
Seeing Li Laoliu, Aunt Hua was filled with remorse. Thinking about how good Li Laoliu had been to her over the years, she wondered how she could have been so blinded by greed and do such a thing to let him down.
Although Li Laoliu had no special abilities, he gave all the money he earned to her. Even though she used the money to buy useless rouge and left the children hungry, he never beat her.
But it was too late to say anything now. Aunt Hua couldn't help but burst into tears and said, "Sixth Brother, I'm sorry for you and the children, but I don't want to die. It was Hunter Zhang who seduced me. It wasn't me, it was him, it was him."
When Li Laoliu first got the news, he wished he could kill the adulterous couple with his own hands. But when he came back and saw the children's longing eyes, he softened his heart again. No matter how bad Liu Lanfang was, she was really good to the children. The children were still young, and how could they live without a mother?
So he begged the elders to show some leniency, but the elders disagreed. All those who committed adultery would be thrown into a pig cage without exception, and even if they were sent to the county government, the result would be the same.
Men don't shed tears easily, but until they are heartbroken, they wipe away the tears from the corners of their eyes and have no choice but to bring the children to see her for the last time.
The next day, Aunt Hua ran away. At dawn, another explosive incident occurred. Li Laoliu took his three children and knelt in the ancestral hall for an unknown amount of time.
When the village head and elders arrived, it was already daybreak. Knowing that he had released the man, they could only sigh and say, "Go back with your child and live a good life. Find a good woman, but be careful."
As for why the village chief took people to the mountain, it was because of Li Xiaoxiao.
Li Xiaoxiao ran to the headman's house and said that a thief went to her house in the middle of the night to steal things and stole five taels of silver. She chased the thief all the way, but the thief actually came to the village. She was afraid that everyone would be in trouble, so she had to catch him.
When the village head heard this, he immediately gathered more than a dozen villagers. Li Xiaoxiao led them all the way to the woods and caught the two men red-handed.
Li Laoliu released Aunt Hua and knelt in the ancestral hall with his three children. Aunt Hua ran out and shivered violently when a gust of wind blew. Then she remembered that her clothes were no longer wearable and she had no money. Even if she ran away, it was a famine and she would be dead.
Suddenly, an idea came to her. Her family was rich, and ever since she had been in a relationship with Hunter Zhang, Hunter Zhang had spent a lot of money on her. So, she made up her mind and sneaked back home under the cover of night.
