The money that was secretly given to the village chief and the money for the new wedding dress had already used up all the little savings in the family.Now she was already in a bad mood, and her son was still making troubles all the time. Even she, who loved her son the most, couldn't bear it.

Picking up the little boy viciously, the peasant woman slapped her across the face and cursed, "You make trouble again! If you make trouble again, I'll send you to the mountains, and let the mountain god eat you up!"

Such a threat immediately took effect.

The little boy froze, with a frightened expression on his face.But the next second, he yelled unconvinced again.

"You lied! You lied! Dad said, after I dedicate Miss Ai to the master of the mountain god, the master of the mountain god will not come to eat me! Miss Xiaoai has gone instead of me! The master of the mountain god will not eat me!"

"You just don't want to buy me clothes, you just lied to me... woo woo woo woo... You bought new clothes for Xiao Ai, but you didn't buy them for me... woo woo... You are biased! You are biased! She's going to die, and she's still wearing such beautiful new clothes... woo woo woo... You're wasting money! You're biased! woo woo woo..."

The little boy covered his face and burst into tears again.

However, the crying of the little boy froze the girl outside the door.

She stood blankly in the darkness outside the door, listening to the noise and crying in the room, with a dull expression.

In the story she knew, it was the mountain god who needed a virgin, so the adults in the village decided by drawing lots. In the end, she was unfortunately selected and had to wear a new wedding dress bought by her uncle and aunt to enter the mountain.

Because she was selected, the aunt who always hated her cared about her rarely, and even cooked several delicious meals for her.The uncle also sighed several times, complaining that he was incompetent, saying that he failed to protect the second brother's daughter, and he felt very guilty.

The girl at that time suddenly discovered that although the uncle's family did not treat her well on weekdays, they really treated her as a relative.After she encountered such a thing, it was her uncle and aunt who she disliked the most on weekdays who treated her the best.

That's why after Lord Shanshen released her, she was so happy that she wanted to run home to share her joy with her uncle and aunt.

If my uncle and aunt knew that she survived, they would be very happy, right?

——She originally thought so.

But now I hear something completely different.

The girl's expression was a little stiff.

She began to think back to those things before. After being selected, her uncles and aunts began to treat her kindly, and the things that were good to her...

Could it be that those cares and loves are all fake?All they did was to trick her into being a scapegoat?

Because the chosen one wasn't her at all?But the uncle's son?

That's why her uncle and aunt who always disliked her suddenly changed their attitude?

The girl's expression became terrified and desperate.

After hearing these words, the door in front of her no longer had the slightest sense of intimacy. Instead, it was as terrifying as a door closed by hell, and a ghost might jump out to catch her at any time.

The constant noise and cries from inside the door were no longer warm, and became howling like ghosts in hell, which made her feel cold and sad.

It's not like this...it's not like this...don't be like this...

The girl hugged her chest tightly with both hands, kept stepping back, shaking her head desperately.

She even had an urge, an urge to run away and escape from here.

But where can I run...

The girl was desperate.

Her mother has died of illness, and her father's whereabouts are unknown. Now, she has only relatives and the only place to stay in the world, and only the hut in front of her eyes.

But the people in this room actually tricked her into being a scapegoat...

Uh...

The girl's heart was already filled with sorrow.

And at this moment, there was a shaky footstep behind her, someone was approaching here.

The girl with a dull expression turned her head subconsciously and saw the person behind her.

It was a crippled drunk man with a shaky figure and a face full of stubble—it was her uncle, her father's elder brother.

Ai Zizi...

And at the same time as the girl turned her head, a blazing lightning flashed across the night sky. The pale light shone on the ground and on the girl's face, making her desperate little face pale.

At that moment, the drunk man behind the girl clearly saw this weird scene.

Because he was lame in one leg, the man called Ai Laizi by the villagers widened his eyes in horror.

Then there was a piercing scream.

"Ghost ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

……

A quarter of an hour later, the girl who was tied up by the villagers was escorted outside the village chief's house.

The night sky was still thundering and lightning, and the howling wind was blowing everything in the small mountain village.

All the young and strong men in the village have gathered here, forming a circle around the gate of the village chief's house.

The light of torches flickering in the strong wind reflected the gloomy expressions of the people.And the little girl who was escorted and knelt in the crowd lowered her head in despair, her mouth was sealed with a cloth strip, and she couldn't even utter any words of excuse.

In the house ahead, lived the most authoritative old man in the village.

When a major event happened in the village, everyone gathered here immediately, waiting for the village chief's instructions.Before that, someone had already come to inform the village head of what had happened.

So everyone didn't wait too long, and the door of the house was pushed open. .

Immediately afterwards, the village head, who was on crutches, was supported by his son and walked out.

Under the dim light of the torch, the old man walked slowly, and finally came to the girl.While everyone was watching nervously, the old village chief lowered his head, looked at the girl in front of him, and frowned.

The little girl in front of her was wearing a bright red wedding dress, exactly the same as when she was sent up the mountain.But the hem of the skirt was covered with mud, and the original color of the shoes could not be seen at all. They looked dirty and had clearly escaped from the mountains.

After a few seconds of silence, the village head looked up at the villagers in front of him, and asked hoarsely, "Where did you find her?"

The village chief asked, and everyone looked at the cripple in the crowd.

Stared at by everyone, Ai Laizi hurried out and told the village head cautiously, "It was found at the door of my house, village head. I thought she was a ghost who came back to kill me, and I was shocked. Fortunately, We found that she had a shadow, not a ghost, so we guessed that she had escaped from the mountains secretly, so we immediately caught her and brought her here."

"Then after she was caught by you, do you have an excuse?" The village head asked, but his eyes stayed on the little girl.

At this time, the little girl's face was pale, and there were scars on her forehead. It seemed that the process of the villagers catching her was not smooth.

Noticing the village chief's gaze, Ai Laizi quickly defended, "When we caught her, she struggled desperately and talked nonsense, saying that she didn't escape privately, and that the mountain god let her back. She also bit people with her teeth. , in a hurry, we just...just..."

After talking about it, Ai Zizi's voice became smaller and smaller, because the village chief was staring at him with extremely stern eyes.

After Ai Laizi shut up and didn't speak, the old man paused heavily on the crutch in his hand, and stared at him coldly, "Stop talking? Go ahead and tell me how you dedicated it to the mountain god. The virgins hurt!"

The old man questioned angrily, making the group of young and strong speechless. They lowered their heads silently, not daring to say a single contradictory word.

Seeing them like this, the old man became even more angry.

He slammed the crutches in his hand hard, his beard and hair all swelled with anger, "A group of pigs! They don't use their brains at all!"

"Even if you want to catch her, you can't hurt her! Why can't you think of such a simple thing? You made her scarred, and the mountain god didn't like it. What should we do if we change people to contribute? When the time comes Which of your children is used as a contribution? Or blame it directly, who of you can afford it?!"

The village chief cursed angrily, but everyone shrank their necks and listened obediently, not daring to contradict him.

When the old man was almost cursing, everyone asked cautiously, "The village chief, what should we do next?"

"That's right, village chief, what should we do? This little bitch escaped from the mountain privately, the mountain god won't be angry..."

Everyone was worried, afraid of angering the mountain god.

But the old man shook his head and gave everyone a reassurance.

"If Lord Mountain God really wanted to get angry, our village would have been in disaster long ago. How could it be your turn to worry? There has been no movement until now, maybe the old man has not found out that the little bitch has escaped."

"So let's send this little bitch back to the mountain as soon as possible, maybe it's too late. This time we will send someone to guard, and we must not let this little bitch run away without permission again."

Having said that, the village chief paused his crutches hard, looked at everyone present sternly, and said, "Let's go into the mountain immediately!"

"If Lord Shanshen is really angry, our Shuisheng Village will be completely over!"

Chapter 6

In the dark mountain forest, the wind howled and the mountain road was rugged.

The villagers walking on the mountain road with torches were very careful, for fear that they would fall off the cliff and die if they were not careful.

This section of the mountain road is very steep. Not only is the road narrow, but there are also cliffs beside it. Even hunters who often go into the mountains on weekdays are a little scared to walk this section of the road in the dark.

What's more, tonight's Hanyu Mountain is full of weirdness, which makes everyone frown and feel heavy.

In the night sky above their heads, thunder and lightning flickered, and silver snakes danced wildly.

The huge lightning bolts pierced the sky one after another, each time turning the earth pale.

If there was such a weather in the past, it would have been raining cats and dogs.

But tonight, there was no thunder and no rain. There were lightning and thunder in the sky, but no rain fell.And the further they went into the mountains, the villagers found that the thunder in the sky became denser.

It seems that somewhere in the Hanyu Mountain, there is something connecting the thunderclouds in the night sky...

After this terrifying conjecture emerged in people's minds, it quickly turned into whispers.

"The thunder tonight is a bit abnormal... Could it be that the mountain god is angry? He wants to strike us with lightning?"

"Bah, bah, bah! What nonsense are you talking about, Wang Laoliu! How dare you say such nonsense?"

"That's right! Wang Laoliu, you don't want to die?"

"This thunder and lightning is definitely not the anger of the mountain god. The mountain god will definitely forgive us."

"That's right, we are not wrong, Lord Mountain God will definitely forgive us."

"If you want to blame, blame this selfish little bitch who is afraid of death! She ran out privately after she was chosen... Isn't this intentional to harm us?"

"Yes, yes, it's all this little bitch's fault."

The villagers talked a lot, turning their heads and glancing at the girl in the middle of the line from time to time.

The girl in the red wedding dress had her hands and feet tied up, and was lifted up with a long stick through the knots on her hands and feet, like a live pig about to be carried to a market for sale. She looked quite miserable.

But none of the villagers expressed sympathy for her, on the contrary they were full of resentment towards her.If it wasn't for worrying about hurting her skin and flesh, the mountain god didn't like it, the villagers would have vented their anger on this damned little bitch.

The girl who was resented by the villagers had stopped resisting at this time.

She stared blankly at the sky above her head, looking at the huge lightning that appeared from time to time in the night sky. She was very afraid of thunder, but tonight she didn't have the slightest fear of these terrible thunders.

Obviously I have explained the situation to everyone, and it is obvious that the mountain god let her back, why don't everyone believe her?And scolded her with those vicious words... It wasn't that she was afraid of death and ran away, it was really the mountain god who asked her to come back!

And on the way back, the mountain god asked the monkeys to bring her food, fearing that she would be hungry.Such a good mountain god, how could he be the man-eating monster that everyone talks about!

The girl felt grief and indignation in her heart, feeling that the adults must have made a mistake.

At first she tried to justify it, but now it doesn't matter.Anyway, no one would believe what she said.

Even though she kept telling everyone that the mountain god doesn't want sacrifices and that the mountain god doesn't eat people, no one believed her, but everyone thought she was lying and even sealed her mouth.

Is this the adult in the village...

The girl stared blankly at the night sky flickering with thunder and lightning, with a dazed expression.

She grew up in the village since she was a child, and she is familiar with everyone around her at this time.In the past, everyone looked amiable. Even if she got into trouble occasionally, the adults would just shake their heads helplessly and forgive her very generously. They are really very good people.

But today, the girl found that all this has changed.

Those adults who always smiled gently and treated her well have all changed.There were no smiles on their faces, their once gentle expressions became fierce, and their eyes were full of resentment. The familiar faces became extremely strange at this moment.

She seemed to have come to a strange village, surrounded by a group of strange people.

If only it were all a dream...

The girl thought quietly, looking at the sky above her head with dull eyes.

boom -

Huge thunder roared between heaven and earth.

And in the night sky, a huge thunderbolt suddenly cut through the sky and landed viciously on the mountain ahead.

The scene of the huge lightning strike shocked the villagers on the mountain road.

Because that lightning bolt was too big, much thicker than ordinary lightning bolts, and it struck directly into the mountain...

"That direction seems to be the mountain temple!"

Among the villagers, someone recognized the direction and let out a terrified cry.

This sentence made everyone's expressions look bad.

In this strange weather of lightning and thunder, it happened that when the offering virgin escaped privately, there was thunder and lightning falling in the direction of the mountain temple...
