After the sun set, the anticipation of the afternoon's abdominal pain arrived as expected—the darker the night grew, the more severe the pain became.
By the time it was midnight, many could not bear it any longer and clamored for the antidote.
At midnight, those who were suffering so much they wished to die, finally got their reprieve—the antidote.
Once they swallowed the medication, the pain disappeared.
All their clothes were soaked. They shook uncontrollably at the memory of their recent agony.
The next day, they were confined again. At the same hour, their suffering returned. After experiencing the event of the previous night, everyone immediately begged for the antidote as soon as the pain kicked in—it was insufferable!
However, this time they made them suffer until midnight before supplying the antidote.
As daylight broke, some voluntarily said to the people outside that they were willing to obey the adult's arrangements as long as the antidote was given on time.
