Chapter 8: Raise your head three feet, there is a god
A month ago, a tea mountain in Zhangjia Village suddenly collapsed, [-]% of the tea planted in the mountain was destroyed, and the villagers' years of hard work were ruined.

Although the villagers were crying blood, the collapse of the tea mountain was a natural disaster, and they had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit.

But also because of this incident, some villagers are not at ease. They often go to the earth temple to pray to God and Buddha, praying for God to bless the harvest in the coming year.But one night, a thunderbolt suddenly fell from the sky above the Earth Temple, and all the trees in the temple were chopped down.

"It rained heavily that night, and the strong wind blew all the wooden blocks in the courtyard down. It would have been nothing more than a simple wind and rain, but early the next morning, some villagers found it in the Earth Temple. The warning left by the gods." Zhang Yan said:

"The warning said that the collapse of the tea mountain and the thunder of the earth temple were punishments from the heavens. The reason why the village encountered these strange things one after another was because the villagers offended the mountain god. They wanted the mountain god to appease their anger. , Let the village return to peace and tranquility, only by offering sacrifices to the mountain gods can the disaster be avoided."

Ban Xiyu frowned slightly: "What kind of sacrifice?"

Zhang Yan clutched her sleeves tightly and said angrily: "He asked our village to sacrifice ten girls to him and send them to the mountain temple to be his bride. I asked someone, and those girls were just sent to the temple He disappeared immediately, his whereabouts were unknown, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Most likely he was killed by bad guys.

"Oh, mountain god, what kind of mountain god is he?! If my parents didn't stop me, I really want to destroy his mountain temple!"

Ban Xiyu's eyes widened in astonishment: "Gods are gods, and humans are humans. How can humans intermarry with gods? I'm afraid there is no such thing as a god. Behind everything, there must be wicked people pretending to be gods!"

"I think so too!" Zhang Yan excitedly said, "But my parents say I don't respect the gods and don't allow me to talk nonsense. It will be my turn to be the sacrificial bride in three days. Sister, what should I do?"

Ban Xiyu said firmly: "Run away, and then ask the government to make decisions and arrest people! In short, you must not hand over the bride to let the wicked do what they want. If you sacrifice once, there will be a second and third time... If things go on like this, Zhangjiacun will There will never be peace. The villain will only gain more and more if he tastes the sweetness, and his ambition and greed will become bigger and bigger, how can he stop easily?"

She said solemnly: "The person behind the scenes must be found out, and the women in the village must not be sacrificed."

Zhang Yan looked distressed: "But..."

"Girl be careful!"

A sudden voice interrupted them, Ban Xiyu and Zhang Yan turned their heads at the same time, and saw Zhang Bo and his wife walking quickly one after the other.

The two of them looked terrified, and hurriedly pulled Zhang Yan up, almost covering her mouth: "This is a matter of our village. If the girl passes by by chance, it is better not to interfere. Otherwise, if you offend the mountain god, even you will suffer! "

The woman put on a bitter face and said, "Yes. Logically, you are kind to our family, and we don't blame you. But the sacrifice of the mountain god is of great importance, and it is related to the life and death of our village. Don't come up with your own ideas. You are not from our village, so you will leave in a few days, so you will be fine. But after you leave, the mountain god will anger us."

The meaning of these words is to blame Ban Xiyu for meddling in her own business.

"Are you willing to let your daughter become the sacrifice bride of the mountain god?" Ban Xiyu asked, "How can you be so cruel as a parent?"

Uncle Zhang wrinkled his face: "We don't want to, but that is the mountain god. If he is angered, the people in the whole village will not have a good life!"

"Whether the other party is a god or not is still unknown." Ban Xiyu said: "The gods are merciful, how can they harm the people? That is not a god, but a demon. If you follow the conditions of the demon, you will encourage the arrogance of the demon. If this continues, you How can the village be peaceful?"

Zhang Yan also said: "Yes. Dad, mother, what the benefactor said makes sense. If the 'mountain god' is a criminal behind the law, aren't we just helping the tyrant? Who knows where he will take the sacrificial bride Go, maybe the 'Mountain God' is a human trafficker who forces people into prostitution!"

Uncle Zhang scolded: "No nonsense!"

Zhang Yan was not convinced: "I—"

Ban Xiyu interrupted: "I know you have scruples in your heart. People in your village fear the gods and are afraid of being worried by the gods. I can understand. If this is the case, I can replace Zhang Yan and become the ten brides offering sacrifices. One of the women. I will find out who is behind it and arrest him. What do you think?"

Zhang Bo's family was stunned, they looked at Ban Xiyu in astonishment and puzzlement.

Zhang Bodao: "Benefactor, you, do you know what you are talking about? No matter how powerful you are, it is just a daughter's family. If... if the other party has a lot of background, or is discovered by the mountain god, you have something good or bad, so what should you do?" good?"

Ban Xiyu smiled lightly: "Don't worry, I naturally have a way to deal with it. If I die because of this, it's just me asking for it, and I can't blame others."

Uncle Zhang still hesitated: "This... If you are in danger, our family can't afford it!"

Ban Xiyu: "This is the only chance to protect your daughter. Don't you want to watch your daughter jump into the fire and be separated from her flesh and blood?"

Hearing this, the woman gritted her teeth, and immediately agreed: "Okay, we promise you! What does the benefactor want to do?"

Uncle Zhang looked at his wife with helplessness on his face: "Why did you agree—"

Ban Xiyu: "No hurry, please tell me the details of the 'sacrifice of the bride' first, so that I can draw up a detailed plan."

Uncle Zhang had no choice but to compromise and sigh, and replied: "The matter of offering sacrifices..."

*
three days later.

At dawn, the head of the village sent someone to Uncle Zhang's home to deliver the wedding dress needed to sacrifice the bride.

The man also said: "If you and your wife are reluctant to part with your daughter and don't have the heart to send her away, then I will do it for you—anyway, I have promised to marry the daughters of Uncle Yue's family and Uncle Song's family, and you are not missing either— ——My old lady will dress up Zhang Yan and send you a wedding sedan chair, what do you think?"

The bride that Zhang Bo's family is going to send is a fake, so how dare they let others do it for them.Once people find out, their plan will be ruined in the blink of an eye, so they refused repeatedly.

Zhang Bo: "No, we can handle it, thank you for your concern."

The man didn't force it, he just looked at Uncle Zhang strangely, then waved his hand, turned his head and left.

After seeing people walking away and confirming that there were no outsiders in the house, Uncle Zhang sent the wedding dress and other things to Ban Xiyu's room.

"Miss Lou, the patriarch has already delivered the things, and they will send someone to pick them up in four hours. How are you preparing? Is the person who will pick you up reliable?"

Ban Xiyu picked up the clothes and took a look.She said: "Everything is ready on my side. Don't worry, if there is an accident, my friends will definitely come."

Two days ago, she blew the whistle to contact Wen Jisheng.The pigeons that heard the silent sound flew fast, but within two days, the two sent letters back and forth three times.

Although they haven't met yet, Ban Xiyu has already informed each other of the situation in the village through letters and asked the other party to come to help.She explained the detailed plan in the letter, and she was waiting for Wen Jisheng to arrive so that the conspirators behind her could be caught.

Four hours later, when the sun was setting, the wedding team assigned by the patriarch came as promised.

"Uncle Zhang, bring your daughter out quickly. If you are late, the mountain god will blame you. You can't afford it!"

Uncle Zhang agreed in the room: "I know, I know, what's the rush, it's here!"

In the room, Zhang Yan put on a hairpin for Ban Xiyu, and said worriedly: "Sister Lou, be careful in everything, we are waiting for your good news here." At the end, she added: "If you are in danger, my sister will Find a way to run first, life-saving is the most important thing."

Ban Xiyu had a good impression of this little girl who met by chance, perhaps because she saw the same rebellion as herself from the other party, so she felt pity for her.

She accepted the other party's kindness, and replied with a smile: "I am a life-saving person, so naturally I will not give up on myself easily. After the matter is over, I will come to see you again."

She just happened to be in a bad situation, and she was just helping out, and she didn't intend to pay her life for it.

Zhang Yan nodded heavily: "Hmm! Then I'll wait for my sister!"

Mrs. Zhang reminded: "The time is coming, Miss Lou, it's time for us to go out."

Ban Xiyu took the red hijab and lightly covered her face: "Send me to the sedan chair."

Mrs. Zhang supported her, and the two husband and wife sent Ban Xiyu to a sedan chair.

Ban Xiyu looked at the ground under her feet, thinking wildly, a few days ago, she tried her best to avoid the sedan chair, but today she sat on it.

The only difference is that last time it was a real marriage, but this time it was a fake bride.

Ban Xiyu bent down, stepped on the sedan chair, and sat on the low stool.Immediately, the sedan chair was raised: "Get up! Send the bride to the temple!"

After the words were finished, the bearer carried the sedan chair and walked forward unsteadily.

Zhang Bo and his wife watched the wedding sedan go away with worried faces.

"Tell me, can my benefactor successfully catch those evil thieves? I am very panicked. If they fail, they will come back and take Yan'er away. I..."

Uncle Zhang scolded softly: "Calm down, don't let other people see the clues—Since Miss Lou is sure to win, her companion must have some skills.

"We're here in fear, and we can't help at all. It's causing trouble for Miss Lou. We have to pretend nothing happened. We're just a pair of sad parents who lost their daughter. Do you understand?"

Mrs. Zhang: "Of course I know this truth, but I'm just afraid..."

"Don't talk about it, let's go back first, and hide the first one in the family first."

"Success, I listen to you."

*
The sedan chair carrying the sacrificial bride came to the foot of the mountain in the southwest of the village.

When the bearer stopped for a while, Ban Xiyu heard a whisper from outside, then turned his head, and looked around through the slit opened by the curtain.

Then, she saw the bearer carrying the sedan chair coming from not far away, talking to the person who carried her sedan chair.Their voices were very soft, and Ban Xiyu couldn't get the specific content of their conversation.

She looked far away, and in her field of vision, a temple was hidden in the woods in front of her, and the upturned eaves and corners were revealed from the dense branches and leaves.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the "temple" looked a bit gloomy.

The dense conversations around stopped, and then, the ten sedan chairs gathered from all over the place were carried towards the mountain one after the other.

It was already three quarters of an hour after I realized that the wedding sedan chair was put down.

Ban Xiyu heard a rustling sound coming from all around.With a glance in his eyes, he saw all the bearers throwing away the things in their hands at the same time:
"Hurry up, the mountain god will come soon!"

They greeted their companions with panicked expressions, and ran out non-stop without even wiping off their sweat, let alone resting.In the blink of an eye, apart from these ten sedan chairs, there was no one else in the four fields.

There is silence in the deep mountain, only the girl who is as beautiful as a flower in the sedan chair is weeping silently.Their cries echoed around the temple, and it became a sad lingering sound with the cicadas in early summer.

Ban Xiyu didn't dare to act rashly, lest she would startle the snake and alarm the people behind the arrangement.She squeezed the whistle in her sleeve tightly and waited calmly in the sedan chair.

When the last light of dusk gradually dissipated, a strong wind suddenly blew in the mountain forest.The strong wind howled in the forest, and at the same time, the sky darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ban Xiyu said heartily: Here we come!

She took out her whistle and blew loudly.

The whistle sounded crisp and clear, like the chirping of birds, and soon spread out from the dense forest.Immediately afterwards, she hid the whistle in her shoe.

Just as she was about to open the curtain to see the true face of the so-called "Mountain God", a soft muffled sound suddenly came from somewhere in the temple, like the sound of a stone door or a wall sliding.

Ban Xiyu turned his gaze, only to see several men in black walking out quickly from behind the statue in the hall.Their eyes were fierce, and they came straight to the ten sedan chairs:

"Hurry up, you guys, catch him quickly, don't waste time!"

Ban Xiyu thought that sure enough, the so-called "mountain gods" don't exist at all, and it's all these men in black who are playing tricks!

Just as the men in black forcibly dragged the sacrificial bride out of the sedan chair, a scream came from among the girls: "No, no, let me go, I want to go home, I want to go home!"

"You are not mountain gods at all! Let us go, or our parents won't let you go!"

"Report to the official, we want to report to the official!"

The beautiful women were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They shouted to run away, but were slapped several times by the men in black, and they burst into tears.

"Tsk, knock people out and take them away!"

Ban Xiyu was among the group of women, she looked around vigilantly, but was caught off guard by someone.She fell to the side, closed her eyes, and immediately passed out.

Not long after, the surrounding gradually quieted down.

Ban Xiyu, who pretended to faint, heard the conversation of the man in black:
"Have you counted, is it ten people?"

"Don't worry, boss, no more, no less, exactly ten. They all passed out and were very quiet. Look, there is another one who fainted from fright."

"Hmm... she was born with stunning looks, but she's too timid."

"Hey, you are too timid to run away."

"Okay, take people away!"

"Yes!"
