Chapter 125: Punishment

Those two people had been staring at Jiang Ziya for many days, and this time they caught it right, thinking that their leader would punish Jiang Ziya severely, but they were a little puzzled. However, they forgave Jiang Ziya when they saw Jiang Ziya silently sending the jerky back to the cave where it was used as a warehouse.

The next day, the chief said, "Our food cave does not need to be guarded, for I am sure no one will go there without my consent." After the chief said this. It's been a long time since food has been stolen.

Until one day, the girl's son was sick, he had been weaned for a while, and usually ate those dry jerky with the adults, and the girl just chewed the jerky and fed him mouth-to-mouth.

The son said he was hungry, but the leader went out. Da Ji and Gui Mei came to visit the child, they did not know that the child was sick beforehand, and the jerky in their pockets had already been eaten. Gui Mei said, "Go to the food cave and get him a piece, we testify that he is sick." ”

"You can also take two pieces out of our share." ”

The son was already able to waddle on his own for a short distance, and the girl knew that he was malnourished to get such an illness. The mother's affection made her think for a while, and finally accepted Gui Mei and Da Ji's suggestion.

She hurried out and arrived at the food cave, but no one happened to see her, and the girl was a little glad in her heart. When she returned, she carefully tore the piece of jerky into three parts, put a small piece of it in her mouth and chewed it, and then spit it out to her son. Halfway through his vomit, Fossey came back with two handfuls of herbs in his hand, just in time to see it.

"What are you doing?" Surprised, he asked his wife, "When I left, there was no more jerky at home, where did you get it?" His face was pale, and seeing his wife blushing, he understood.

People were called back from all over the place, and the chiefs let them, and they didn't know what urgency the chiefs had. On a platform in the middle of the tribe, Fosse said, "My wife went to the food cave without my consent and took a piece of jerky. ”

Someone said, "Gui Mei and Ji Da have already explained to us, that it was the chief's wife who asked them to tell us, and what a big deal this is!" Besides, the child is sick. ”

"But the chief did not agree." ”

Someone said, "We can't live without a leader, but is it true that the chief's youngest son is sick and eats only a piece of jerky, and we still have to pay for it?" ”

"But the chief did not agree." ”

Two old men stood up at the same time and said, "But the girl has planned to come back together in advance, besides, Gui Mei and Da Ji said the same thing......

"But the chief did not agree." ”

Someone shouted angrily, "You are so emotionless and inhuman!" Who doesn't love their son? We love a caring leader, not a cold-blooded animal! ”

"During the time you have embraced me as your leader," said Faucy...... I didn't give her permission to get jerky. Now you can decide whether you want me to be the leader or not, but I want to make a final decision about the leader. ”

"I can't punish my wife, even though she did it because she loved her son, and she should be punished as such...... But punish her, and the child will starve...... I love my son as you love your own son, and he is innocent. ”

Someone said, "Oh my God! How will the leaders be punished? ”

"Deduct a piece of jerky from my ration every day as my punishment," Fauci said...... "A month's imprisonment," one wanted to say that was too harsh, but the chief added, "I will starve myself for three days." The crowd stirred. The girl was already crying, and she regretted that she had done that, and if she had endured it any longer, Fosse had already picked the herbs.

As he spoke, the leader sat down on the earthen platform, and the punishment began.

On the first night, the people saw the girl bring a dress to put on Fosse, but he refused. Someone was secretly shaking their heads.

The next morning, someone got up as soon as he woke up, and saw their leader still sitting there, and he sat all night. The sun is gradually rising, and the weather is already a little hot, and even the branches and leaves of the trees are wilting.

After settling her son, the girl silently climbed up to the ground and sat down with Fosse, and she reached out to wipe the beads of sweat from Fosse's face, but he reached out to block it. In addition to feeding their sons, the girls all come to sit with their husbands and endure the sun together.

In the evening, Fosse's head was seen hanging slightly, but he sat motionless. Jiang Ziya walked quickly to the edge of the earthen platform, picked the edge of the platform with his hand and said to the leader, "Please punish me too, I took more jerky last time!" ”

"I'm the chief," said Faucy, "and ...... I've already punished you...... I make you stop thinking about yourself alone! ”

Jiang Ziya howled and cried, "Chief, what ...... Not a punishment! I did as you were told, and I stopped being scared late at night...... I can sleep peacefully every night...... I'm no longer afraid of being caught...... I also knew: the people of the tribe no longer hated me even when I turned my back on them! Where is this punishment? ”

The people were alarmed and poked their heads out of their respective holes, and they saw that Fusse's head was raised again, and he waved his hand to let Jiang Ziya go to sleep.

During the day on the third day, the sun was even hotter, and several old men saw that their leader's lips were cracked and soaked in blood. And his face was thinner and covered with a layer of dust. When they saw a dark cloud floating in the sky, they silently prayed in their hearts that it would float over and stop on Fosse's head, but it drifted aside.

Little Nezha didn't know where to cut a small tree with lush foliage, lifted it to the earthen platform, and then jumped up and dug a hole behind the leader's back, and planted the small tree there. The leader was powerless to stop him.

In the middle of the night, it rained heavily, and lightning shone brightly on the heavens and the earth. The loud sound of thunder appeared almost at the same time as the lightning, and the ears buzzed for a long time.

One, two, three...... He came out of his own dry cave on the mound, walked into the heavy rain, and sat around the earthen platform, sitting in the muddy water. Their leader, Fosse, was already leaning against the little tree, and he was about to fall.

But none of them could help him, because the chief had not given the order.

It was finally dawning, and the rain had stopped.

The young man who had been waiting for him jumped up and lifted Fosse off the platform. Someone brought water with a scoop and carefully wiped the chief's lips, which had been glued together. Then the girl leaned down and fed the pre-chewed jerky into the chief's mouth.
