Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the peach tree branch that had been sawn off and tied up, and the hand carrying the bag trembled slightly.

Oh, my God!

Almost, almost she'd be tied to a wooden post like this man and burned alive.

Fortunately, she didn't take out the box given by Zhang Yi, if the people here knew, she even brought the box with peach branches, and she didn't know how to treat her crazy?

Gu Qiaoqiao secretly shouted in her heart: Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang, you almost hurt me.

Gu Qiaoqiao took a step back, and the man suddenly raised his head, looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, and said in a hoarse voice, "I was also tricked in by others, they said that as long as I could take a peach branch from here, they would promise to give me the herbs I needed." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, looked at Gu Qiaoqiao in a daze, his eyes were round, and he stared at Gu Qiaoqiao deadly, his eyes showing confusion and incomprehension.

After a moment, he shook his head in disbelief and muttered, "How can you, this sister, be so similar to a relative in my family?" ”

His voice was very small, and everyone didn't hear it clearly, Gu Qiaoqiao frowned, but he didn't take it to heart.

But I also learned the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that it was because this young man had touched the gods here.

Well, that's a problem.

Sometimes religious belief is a very shrouded issue.

What should she do?

It is necessary to respect their beliefs, but also to find a way not to burn this young man to death.

If you are burned just for cutting off a branch of a peach tree, it is not a good thing for the village and for the young people.

After all, this is the land of China, and there are laws that restrict the people living here.

I heard Ling Nan say just now that it was the first time he had seen the burning at the stake, because after so many years, no one dared to touch a single leaf of the old peach tree, so naturally he didn't use it.

However, there used to be real ones.

However, it was the punishment used to treat the traitors who betrayed the Ling clan of the valley, as well as those who did things that violated the rules of the clan.

The old patriarch has been away from the world for too long, and he is used to being arbitrary, so he does not have any scruples to carry it out.

This is no small matter!

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the young man and asked calmly, "I don't think your accent is like a southwesterner, what do you want herbs for?" ”

“…… Sister, I'm from Jinling City, my grandfather is sick and needs a taste of herbs, it is said that there is here, so I took a car to come here, but I didn't expect to be found...... They said they didn't want money, as long as I went to this valley and broke a peach branch, they would give me the herb, I was really wrong, I didn't know that this peach blossom tree was a god here......"

At this point, the young man's eyes burst with hope.

Although the girl in front of him should be younger than him, it is best to call his sister at this time, I have to say that this young man is indeed very smart and knows how to survive in such a harsh environment.

The old patriarch narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was a little unhappy, but he resisted his temper and did not get angry.

The old patriarch is used to saying everything here, when will anyone dare to contradict him?

What's more, dare to stop him from doing things?

The hand holding the cane clenched hard, then stomped on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Miss Gu, the internal affairs of the Ling family, please don't interfere without permission." ”
