When Su Xing rushed to the Lin family's old house, there were already many people surrounding the yard, and even outside the yard.

In order to see clearly what was happening inside, a group of people even stood on the earthen wall of the Lin family's old house, forming a human wall, with their hands behind their backs, watching the excitement.

Su Xing circled around the crowd and dived in like a fish, going straight to the innermost part. Then he found a position with a good view and someone blocking the front to watch the show.

In the yard, Lin Jiaojiao, whose appearance had been restored, was tied up and hung on a big tree in the yard.

In the middle of the yard, there was a messy altar with offerings such as chickens, ducks, and fish on it.

There was a basin in the corner of the yard, with some residual blood in it. Next to it was a black dog that had its neck cut and bled long ago. It was obvious that the blood in the basin was from the black dog.

Lin Jiaojiao's face and body were covered in blood, and her expression was unreadable. She closed her eyes and lowered her head, her whole body drooping limply under the tree, swaying slightly with the rope.

Obviously, the blood on Lin Jiaojiao's body was the blood of the black dog. People believed that black dog blood could drive away evil spirits. As expected, she was regarded as a monster by Lu and others.

Below, Lu, Lin Erhu, and Zhang were holding whips, each of which was covered in blood, and were taking turns whipping Lin Jiaojiao.

Lin Jiaojiao had obviously fainted. The whip hit her body, but apart from the shaking of the rope, Lin Jiaojiao did not move at all and there was no sign of struggle.

Lin Jiaojiao's clothes were torn into strips, and her body was covered in blood. Human blood and dog blood were mixed together and dripped down. There was a pool of blood under Lin Jiaojiao's feet, and the smell of blood was strong.

The yard was noisy with the sounds of villagers watching the fun and talking.

"Isn't this exorcist hitting too hard? The person is dizzy and twitching. Will something happen?"

"I heard that you have to knock someone unconscious and then wake them up, and the evil spirit will be driven away."

"But I see this girl is still unconscious after being beaten like this, I hope nothing will happen to her."

"No way! I've never heard of exorcism killing someone."

"Of course not. How could a normal person not react after being beaten like that? Even if he fainted, he should have woken up from the pain."

"Yes, this girl has actually been knocked unconscious and awakened several times, but her family insisted on exorcising the evil spirit more thoroughly, so they kept beating her."

"That's too cruel. This isn't a deliberate attempt to find an excuse to beat someone to death."

The more the villagers talked, the more they felt something was wrong. At first, everyone was just watching the fun, after all, exorcism was something that didn't happen often.

Moreover, everyone believed in ghosts and gods, so they also believed in exorcism. At the beginning, when Lin Jiaojiao cried for help, everyone thought it was the evil spirit who did it on purpose, so they deceived people and let her go.

So they all ignored Lin Jiaojiao's cry for help and just laughed and joked as they watched the family suffer.

It's no wonder that everyone doesn't care about other people's business. It's just that Lin Jiaojiao's originally flat nose recovered on its own. This matter is too bizarre. How could someone other than a monster have such ability?

So at first everyone thought that exorcism was necessary, until Lin Jiaojiao stopped crying and struggling for mercy, and fainted and never woke up again, everyone started to worry.

Exorcism is exorcism, but if someone really wants to beat someone to death, no one will just stand by and watch. Someone immediately stepped forward to stop Lu, Lin Erhu and Zhang who were beating people, and then together they took Lin Jiaojiao down from the tree.

Lin Jiaojiao fell limply to the ground, motionless. Someone brought some clean water and splashed it on Lin Jiaojiao's face, washing away the black dog blood on her face.

Without the obstruction of the black blood, Lin Jiaojiao's deathly pale face was revealed. Most importantly, perhaps due to the stimulation of the splashing water, Lin Jiaojiao's eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened.

It wasn't a normal opening, it was the kind of sudden opening that was very scary. Lin Jiaojiao's pupils had dilated. The eyeballs of a dead person wouldn't move, they stared straight ahead with a lifeless look.

The people around were frightened and screamed and scattered. After they scattered, Lin Jiaojiao just kept her eyes open, staring at the sky without blinking.

Now even a fool would know that something was wrong. Someone shouted, "Someone's been beaten to death. Report it to the police!"

According to the regulations of this dynasty, parents who beat or killed their children would not be punished with death, but would be fined twenty taels of silver.

Mrs. Lu, Lin Erhu and Mrs. Zhang were also dumbfounded. They were just following the Taoist's instructions to exorcise evil spirits, so how could someone be beaten to death?

The government officials arrived quickly. There were many witnesses to this incident. It was just an exorcism that killed the man, and there was no hidden story. The verdict was quickly handed down and a fine of twenty taels of silver was imposed.

Mr. Lin and his family were in tears. All the silver they had added up did not exceed five taels. How could they come up with twenty taels of silver?

But the government was merciless. If they didn't have money, they could just mortgage their land. The government mortgaged the land not according to the market price, but the lowest price.

The best land that costs eight taels of silver per mu can only be exchanged for four taels of silver, and inferior land is not allowed to be used to pay off debts.

As a result, the land that had been lost after the separation from Lin Sanbao was reduced by half in an instant, and what was left were all low-quality fields. Also, the capable Lin Jiaojiao died, and all the Lin family members were dumbfounded.

As soon as the bailiff left, Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lu fell ill one after another. After being busy all their lives, their family was almost bankrupt when they got old. This was unacceptable to them.

Mr. Lin's illness was serious, and Mrs. Lu's illness was also not light, but the family had no money, and Lin Erhu and Mrs. Zhang were reluctant to spend money to treat the two.

Lin Erhu and Zhang didn't spend any money themselves, but went to Lin Dalong and Lin Sanbao to ask for money. Lin Dalong was trapped in the house by Lin Sishu and Liu Ya and was not allowed to leave.

Su Xing went out alone and drove Lin Erhu and Zhang away, severing all ties with them. All matters such as caring for the elderly and taking care of their medical care had nothing to do with Lin Dalong, the son who was driven away.

Lin Sanbao didn't have the heart to ignore it, but he had just separated from the family, and the scene of the separation was so ugly, it was obvious that Grandpa Lin and Lu would not be able to give him much money.

Finally, Lin Sanbao searched his entire house and found 600 copper coins, which he gave to Lin Erhu. However, Lin Erhu was reluctant to spend a single cent of the 600 copper coins on treating Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lu.

He went to the garbage dump in the clinic and brought back a pile of medicine residues. He boiled some medicine for Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lu to drink, and kept all the six hundred copper coins for himself.

If the medicine is not suitable for the disease, it will naturally not be able to cure the disease. What's more, the drug residue has a tiny medicinal effect, which is comparable to poison for the disease that is not suitable for the medicine.

Within two days of eating, Mrs. Lu and Old Man Lin died. Lin Erhu and Mrs. Zhang buried them hastily, even using cheap willow coffins.

After Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lu died, Su Xing no longer paid attention to the old house. It was easy to imagine that the lazy children raised by two lazy people, Lin Erhu and Mrs. Zhang, would have a hard time in the future.

It would be fine if I had money and land, but now I have no money, no good land, and only a little bit of poor and low-quality land. It is difficult to make a living.

Lin Jiaojiao and the wild system are dead, Lu and Old Man Lin are also dead, and the remaining people will not have an easy life. Su Xing’s mission is mostly completed.

There is only one last thing left, which is to let Lin Dalong, Liu Ya and Lin Sishu live a good life. For this, Su Xing began to run the paper shop with all his strength.
