By the time the two of them reached the Village Chief's house, the open space was already filled with people. Ji Shuangshuang brought Xiaoqiu and squeezed through the crowd and to the front row, to see what was going on.

In the end, when she saw that the witch in the village had been tied to a pillar by a few people, Ji Shuangshuang became anxious, "What happened?"

Before, when witch helped her treat a patient, she did this to the villagers.

"What exactly is going on? Why did you tie the witch here? "

"I don't know!" "Perhaps he has done something wrong and will be punished by the village chief."

The people beside him did not know what had happened. They could only wait for the Village Chief to appear and explain it to everyone.

Ji Shuangshuang walked forward and knocked on the door, then called out the village chief's grandfather, "Village head grandfather, why did you tie up witch here? What did she do wrong? "

Everyone turned to look at the village head with a puzzled expression. The village head had an unsightly expression on his face as he looked around and saw that everyone had arrived.

"Everyone knows that we prohibit the use of witchcraft here. In the past, when witch practiced medicine to save people, many people in the village owed her kindness. But yesterday, someone found out that Grandma Witch had broken the rules and used her witchcraft on some villager!"

The villagers were in an uproar as they discussed amongst themselves. The way they looked at witch had changed too, and they were all filled with anger.

However, it had always been classified as a forbidden technique, and could not be used casually. Back then, Ji Shuangshuang's mother was kicked out of the village because she had been discovered using a forbidden technique.

Today, the village chief gathered all of the villagers to interrogate the witch in front of everyone. Who exactly did she use her forbidden technique on?

The villagers only found the yellow paper and the pattern of the candles in witch's courtyard. They knew that this was a trace left behind by the forbidden art, but what had happened a while ago was already gone.

After hearing it clearly, Ji Shuangshuang was even more nervous. It must have been more than a month ago, because the original owner of her body knew that she was going to die soon.

Ji Shuangshuang was extremely anxious in her heart, but in front of the entire village, she could not speak of her soul's transmigration, nor could she save witch on the spot.

If she did that, she would also become the target of public criticism. It would be difficult for her to escape death today.

The Village Chief and a few respected people took turns to interrogate them, but witch didn't say a word, as if she couldn't hear anything around him, she just kept her head down.

Seeing that he could not get any answers out of them, the Village Chief shook his head and started discussing with a few people about how to punish witch.

Ji Shuangshuang stood in the crowd, her heart full of confidence, and hoped that these people wouldn't hurt witch.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The sound of the drum could be heard three times, indicating that the village chief and the others had already made a decision to punish them.

Everyone quieted down, waiting to hear the results.

"witch used a forbidden technique, and she was never willing to reveal who that person was. After discussing it, the few of us decided to burn witch into the ancestral hall tomorrow at noon, according to the rules set by our ancestors!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Alright, burn her to death!"

"Those who violate the ancestor's rules shall be punished!"

Ji Shuangshuang's face instantly paled, she did not expect that this matter would be so serious, witch was implicated by her, and actually about to be burned to death in public.

No!

Ji Shuangshuang's mind was buzzing, her fists were clenched tightly, no matter what, she had to save witch, she could not let her be burned to death like this.

After the village chief finished announcing the punishment, someone escorted witch to the ancestral hall. The rest of the villagers also dispersed.

Ji Shuangshuang brought Xiaoqiu and walked behind him. She tried her best to maintain a calm expression on her face, but her footsteps became heavier and heavier.

After returning home, Ji Shuangshuang sat on the bed with a frown.

If she wanted to save someone, she must have a thorough plan, she couldn't stand out and confess everything. Not only would she fail to save witch, she would even implicate her and Xiaoqiu.

After thinking about it, she felt that time was too tight and that she had to execute him tomorrow. Thus, she could only use tonight's time to secretly go to the ancestral hall and release witch.

Although there was danger, there was no time to think of other ways.

After making her decision, Ji Shuangshuang immediately took action, preparing to use the thing she needed to save her friend tonight.

In her previous life, she would have been able to enter the tiger's den at night and bring back the hostage safely. However, the situation here was different.

She couldn't bring out the strength of her previous life, and she didn't want to hurt the villagers, so she could only quietly make a move to save them.

Xiaoqiu's eyes were filled with tears. She knew what Ji Shuangshuang wanted to do, but she could not help in any way. She could only worry.

"Elder sister, is there really no other way? Shall we think about it? "

"There's no time." Ji Shuangshuang sighed, if there was any other way, she was also unwilling to keep walking, "Don't worry, I will definitely save witch, wait for me at home peacefully."

The sky had completely darkened. After inspecting her equipment, Ji Shuangshuang revealed a peaceful smile to Xiaoqiu, picked up her stuff and left the room.

There was no moon tonight, so she couldn't even see his own fingers. Relying on her memory, Ji Shuangshuang quickly approached the ancestral hall.

There was a small pile of firewood outside the ancestral hall, and a few people were standing around and talking and laughing. These people should be the guardians of the witch, preventing her from suddenly escaping.

Ji Shuangshuang went to the small door at the back of the ancestral hall.

Ji Shuangshuang easily knocked out the two of them and then entered the Ancestral Hall.

The interior was not big, and most of the place was covered with miscellaneous items. In the middle, there was a room that should be the place to imprison the people, and Ji Shuangshuang jumped in through the window.

The witch was tied to a pillar of the Ancestral Temple, the surroundings were quiet. Ji Shuangshuang did not sense any activity and quickly went forward to untie the ropes.

But unexpectedly, the moment she got close, witch immediately started struggling, and did not cooperate with her at all. Furthermore, she kept giving her meaningful glances.

Ji Shuangshuang was not stupid, she immediately knew what witch meant. There must be people hiding in ambush, waiting for her to come and save them.

During the evening, the villagers did not manage to question the person that witch had forbidden them. Instead, they thought of a plan to wait at the ancestral hall tonight.

This time, Ji Shuangshuang came here on her own accord.

Then everything would be a mess. Ji Shuangshuang had slapped herself for real, how could she make such a low level mistake!

There were more than a dozen people guarding the front door. Why were there only two people guarding the back door? It was obvious that he was deliberately relaxing his guard and bringing her in.

Now that he was inside, there was no point in trying anymore.

She had to calm down now. If she was caught, she would be able to increase the number of people burned to death in the ancestral hall tomorrow.
