Shen Mozhi, the only survivor of the Shen family in Jiangnan.
After his family was raided, he begged for food all the way to Jishanzhuang, a village where "good deed points" determine everything. Everyone's name is engraved on the merit monument, and their ranking determines food, clothing, housing and transportation. Everyone is working hard to accumulate points.
He is last. Zero points.
He just wants to live. Until he discovered——
He sprinkled a handful of weed seeds into the village bully's fish pond, and the whole village went crazy doing good deeds, and his points increased.
Kicking down fences, splashing ink on plaques, stuffing rocks under the threshold of the village owner's study... Every time he caused damage, the whole village was in a state of panic, and his points skyrocketed.
In Jishanzhuang, it is faster to do damage than to do good.
He thought he had found a shortcut.
Until Su Huaishan, the owner of the village, invited him to drink tea and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, I know everything you do."
Until Liu Sanniang, the proprietress of the inn, handed over a glass of wine: "I've seen the light in your eyes - the last person with this light was my father, the one who erected this monument."
Until that fool Afose gave him a piece of paper with the word "kind" missing two strokes on it.
Only then did Shen Mozhi discover that there was an eighty-year old account buried under this village named after "goodness". And the case of his father's house being ransacked fifteen years ago fits perfectly with this account.
It turns out that if you miss two strokes of the word "kind", you can still kill people.
Shen Mozhi swallowed the last piece of dry biscuit and patted the residue on his hands.
He looked at the monument of meritorious deeds in the center of the village. The gold powder on the top of the monument dazzled in the setting sun, making his eyes hurt.
"Okay," he said, "then let's start with this monument."
Li Li: Do you think I am sabotaging? I'm sorting out the character of your village.
