More than one family had the same conversation.

"No one was fished out? Hahaha! God has mercy! Have you seen them ever since the Liu family had a Blessed Baby? They usually looked at our Xiapo villagers haughtily. This is great. Their Blessed Baby is gone, hahaha!"

"Humph, I've heard that the Liu family spoiled their granddaughter more than the boys in their family. Look what happened now. Their foolishness has gone too far, and karma has struck. Hey, husband, since that baby is gone, do you think our village has any chance to win the winery? Should you go back to the village chief and urge him on?"

"This is still uncertain, mainly because we don't have the secret recipe in our hands. I'll drop by the Village Chief's house later to take a look. We'll talk about it then if there's a chance."

The Blessed Baby of Xinghua Village fell into the river and drowned. This matter was spread around last night by villagers who returned at night, and overnight it spread to every household.

Many people tossed and turned with excitement during the night.

In the past, their Xiapo Village used to almost suppress Xinghua Village, but in the past two years, they've been countered by Xinghua Village. Why?

Wasn't it because of that Blessed Baby?

With her gone, their villagers were looking forward to the days when they could raise their heads again.

A night has passed now, so anyone who fell into the river, no matter how good a swimmer he was, should have long died.

"Dang–dang–"

The sudden ringing of a bell interrupted the fervent discussion in each household.

"What's going on? The bell only rings when the village holds a general meeting. What's going on at this hour?"

"Let's put down our work first and gather quickly in the village square!"

"The Village Chief must have something important to announce! Do you think it has something to do with the Xinghua Village's Blessed Baby?"

Families swarmed and ran in unison towards the square.

The village square was located in the middle of the village, and was a large piece of flat ground made of stone slabs, which was used for drying the grains of the families during harvest season. However, within a short time, the place was packed with people.

In the crowd, people found that the Village Chief, An Cai, had also hurriedly arrived.

"Village Chief, what are you doing here? Didn't you ring the bell?"

"The Village Chief is here, who rang the bell? Who got the nerve to play tricks on people?"

An Cai gasped, his face gloomy as he stared at the large bell on the high platform at the front of the square.

He was the ruler of this village, and usually no one but him dared to touch that bell. Not even the most mischievous child would dare to run up to the platform to play with it!

Just as the crowd was shocked and enraged, and ready to go up and arrest someone…

A figure slowly appeared behind the huge bell.

A seven or eight-year-old boy.

"Isn't this the child of that widow living in the Luofu Mountain cabin? Hey! How dare you come to our village and cause trouble? You're looking for death, right?!"
