The barrier that blocked the entry of the ghosts did not stop Lian Ge's steps, and with one step out, Lian Ge stepped into the village.

The roads in the village, like the houses built, are built along the river that runs through the village.

Along the road in the village, Lian Ge slowly moved his pace, walking forward without hurry.

In the village, it seems very quiet, and there is no half of a figure on the village road.

Only the lingering wind from time to time transmitted the whispers of the people in the villages to Lian Ge's ears, proving that this is not a deserted village.

Looking up slightly, Lian Ge glanced above his head.

The barrier that enveloped the village, although it blocked most of the yin qi and resentment, there was still a lot of yin qi, like a filter, immersed in the barrier, lingering and spreading in the village.

Step by step, Lian Ge looked at the buildings with closed doors and windows on the side of the road, and a trace of yin in front of him, and walked towards the center of the village.

“...... I should be ...... again today."

“...... As long as today's ceremony is completed, the village will be able to ......"

Listening to the sounds of joy or sorrow in the houses, Lian Ge walked to the center of the village without hurry.

......

In the middle of the village is a small square, and in the middle is a pond dug around the river that runs through the village.

The water from the upper reaches of the pond flows into the pond and flows with the river downstream of the pond towards the outside of the village.

Beside the river upstream of the pond, there are trees with deep roots and thick leaves, which seem to be the usual place for people in the village to enjoy the shade.

It's just that at this moment, there is a person tied to the tree.

A young woman dressed in a floral cloth was tied to a tree with thick hemp rope and a backhand at the wrist, likewise tied with a heavy rock at the end.

The young woman's face was full of fear, but her mouth was open, and she was tied and strangled with a hemp rope, and her colleague who was fixing her to the tree made her speechless and unable to shout, only to make a painful sigh.

Beside the young woman, in the shade of a leafy tree, a man in a short-sleeved undershirt sat on a stone slab, and although the weather was not hot, sweat was gathering on his forehead and sliding down his face from time to time.

From time to time, the man looked up at the young woman tied to the tree, and from time to time he turned his head to look away.

Looking at the woman, her eyes revealed unbearability, as if she was moved by compassion.

And the young woman also noticed the man's eyes, struggled weakly, made a mutter, and looked at the man with a pleading gaze.

......

Looking back at the woman again, the man hesitated, got up from the stone slab, went around behind the tree, and untied the rope that was strangled around the woman's mouth,

"What do you want, do you want to drink water?"

"Big brother, I don't want anything, I don't want anything. ”

After untying the hemp rope that was strangled around her mouth, the young woman left a red mark on her mouth.

Looking at the man, the young woman's tears instantly flowed out of her eyes,

"Big brother, please, let me go, let me go. ”

"I'll be your daughter-in-law and give you a baby, okay? I will never run away, I will stay here, I will not go anywhere, you can let me go." ”

The young woman was frightened, and pleaded bitterly to the man,

"I have a daughter-in-law. ”

"I don't have much to eat, I can sweep the floor and cook for your house, feed the pigs and farm, it's all right, big brother, I'm useful, big brother, I'm really useful, you let me go, let me go......"

The young woman pleaded with growing fear,

“...... That's right, that's right, big brother, you see me beautiful, you sleep with me, sleep with me. ”

As if grasping at the last straw, the young woman spoke, tears pouring out of her eyes.

The man just shook his head, picked up the glass from the stone slab next to him, opened the lid, and put it to the young woman's mouth.

"Take a sip of water. ”

"I don't drink, I don't drink...... Big brother, listen to me, listen to me......"

The woman struggled, frightened, and shook her head.

The man just looked at the young woman, put the cup back on the bluestone slab, and picked up the hemp rope that had been untied earlier.

“...... Big brother, don't, don't...... I'll let you sleep, I can do anything, you let me go, I'll work for your house, if I'm lazy, you'll beat me...... Big brother, let me go. ”

Seeing this, the woman's expression became more and more frightened, and she struggled and shouted.

"If you want to blame it, blame your life. "When a man takes a rope, he is to tie the young woman's mouth again with a hemp rope.

"Big brother, big brother...... You're going to sink me into the river, right, useless, useless...... This is superstition, it is superstition. The young woman said, tears streaming down her face.

"Nonsense, what do you know! You don't understand anything......" The man seemed to become a little angry, "The chickens, ducks and fish in our village are all dying, just because the water god is angry, as long as he calms down his anger, our village will be fine, otherwise everyone in our village will die!"

"It's useless, it's useless, the two who were sold with me have already been sunk into the river, is it useful!" the woman cried out.

"You know what, as long as I sink you, our village will be fine, as long as I sink you......"

The man repeated it twice, his eyes becoming more determined, and he took the rope and re-tied the young woman's mouth.

......

Listening to the words of the man and the young woman who was bound, Lian Ge walked to the tree step by step,

Glancing at the man, Lian Ge raised his gaze slightly, and glanced at the trace of yin qi that permeated the village.

Why did the poultry die in the first place, Lian Ge is not clear for the time being,

But now the poultry in this village are still dying, but it is precisely because of the trace of yin qi that the two young women before were immersed in the river after the village sank into the river.

Retracting his gaze, Lian Ge looked back at the young woman under the tree.

And at this moment,

A somewhat sneaky figure appeared next to the building on the edge of the small square of the village.

He was very short, a child of about eleven or twelve years old.

Poking his head out of the building, he looked around, and when he saw that there was no one else, he opened his legs and ran quickly under the tree with his bare feet.

......

"Uncle Xu, Uncle Xu......"

The eleven or twelve-year-old ran to the bottom of the tree, looked at the young woman tied under the tree, and looked at the man before,

"Uncle Xu, can you let her go, can you let this sister go?" the child pulled the man and said.

"Hmm...... Hmm. The young woman's eyes welled up with a glimmer of hope and she struggled.

"Uncle Xu, please, let this sister go, don't sink her into the river, okay!" the child pulled the man and begged.

A trace of hesitation flashed in the man's eyes, and then his eyes became fierce,

"Get out of the way, or I'll call your lord right now and take you back." ”

With a wave of his hand, the man shook off the child's hand.

The child's eyes became a little lost and gloomy, and he looked at the young woman tied to the tree, turned around three times, slowly moved his steps, and walked away.

......

Glancing at the child who had returned to the building, Lian Ge paused, then moved his steps and walked towards the child.

“...... Can you tell me why you wanted to save that sister?"

Walking in front of the child, Lian Ge asked out loud.

Looking at the big brother who suddenly appeared in front of him, the child's eyes first showed a trace of doubt, but then he became excited.

"Big brother, can you help me save that sister?"

"Can you tell me why?"

"That sister is so beautiful, her ass is still big, my mother said, she will definitely be able to have a baby, I want to ask her to be a daughter-in-law!"

"Then do you know which sister was arrested, what if she doesn't want to be your daughter-in-law?" Lian Ge asked in a calm tone as she looked at the child.

"We bought her with money!" The child seemed a little angry at Lian Ge's words, "Why is she unwilling, she is ours! If she doesn't want to, I'll lock her up and beat her! Don't give her food, see if she's willing!"

Looking at this slightly immature face that is still silky and fluffy, and listening to the words that come out of its mouth,

Lian Ge paused and smiled.
