“That’s good,” Lu Xiufeng said. “I’m just a little worried.”
“Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, he will be safe.” Miao Xihe said. His tone was very calm, but Lu Xiufeng could hear the absolute confidence in the words.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. This is what we should do. It was our fault that harm befell our guests from afar. This really should not have happened.” Miao Xihe turned his head and said to Miao Qingfeng. “Qingfeng, you should be punished!”
“Yes, Chief.”
“Ah, Chief Miao, we were the ones who wanted to go hunting in the forest,” Lu Xiufeng hurriedly said. “It was an accident. It has nothing to do with Brother Miao.”
“Even if you wanted to go hunting in the forest, it was his negligence in taking care of you that caused you guys to get hurt,” Miao Xihe said. “His skills are not refined.”
“Yes,” Miao Qingfeng said with his head bowed.
“This is the rule in the stockade,” Miao Xihe said.
“This...”
Upon hearing Miao Xihe say that, Lu Xiufeng felt a bit embarrassed.
“Alright, keep taking care of Captain Yang and the others,” Miao Xihe said.
The left Miao Xihe’s wooden house.
“I’m really sorry, Brother,” Lu Xiufeng said. “I didn’t expect such a thing to happen.”
“It’s alright. Don’t take it to heart,” Miao Qingfeng said.
“About that, just now Chief Miao said that he would punish you,” Lu Xiufeng said. “According to the rules in the stockade, how will you be punished?”
“It’s nothing. It’s a small case.” Miao Qingfeng waved his hands in the air as he smiled.
“Tell me about it.” Lu Xiufeng lit a cigarette and insisted on hearing about it.
“According to the rules of the stockade, I’ll get hit with a stick 30 times,” Miao Qingfeng said.
“Get hit with a stick?” Lu Xiufeng was stunned. “It’s not like you’re going to get hit with a huge piece of wood like on TV, are you?”
That kind of scene often appeared in period movies and TV dramas. A person would be dragged out and hit with a huge plank 20 times.
“That’s right. It’s like that,” Miao Qingfeng said with a smile.
“Damn it. Do you guys have a private penalty hall? It’s against the law.”
“What is against the law, Captain Lu?” Miao Qingfeng asked. “Don’t mind me saying something not pleasant. These rules have been around for hundreds of years. People in our stockade think that these rules are the law. Over the years, the people in the stockade have been following the law, which is more binding than the law that you guys have outside.”
Lu Xiufeng was stunned.
“Let’s go back and see how Captain Yang is doing.”
When they went back in, they found that Yang Guanfeng had already stood up and was walking slowly in the room.
“Hey, why are you standing up?” Lu Xiufeng anxiously asked upon seeing the situation. “Lie down and rest! Hurry!”
