Chapter 15: Iniquity

They were rebel generals of the Ming Dynasty, and they hid in this mountain in order to avoid the pursuit of the remaining Ming army. When the exhausted army www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun, and Pavilion discovered this rich little village, it was like a rat falling into a rice bowl. They first tied up the villagers and gathered them by the river, and then they began to kill chickens and sheep, smash them, eat them, and grab them. After filling in the belly report, this group of scoundrels actually focused their attention on a few young daughters and daughters-in-law in the village, and even moved their hands and feet in broad daylight, and even worse, they took off the clothes of a few girls and wanted to do bad things.

The men scolded their throats, but they had no choice but to be tied tightly all over their bodies, and they could only watch their relatives being insulted. At this critical moment, I only heard the sound of water, accompanied by a few strange screams that shook the sky, and the Gu Eagle rose from the stream. The soldiers had never seen such monsters, and they all screamed and fled in all directions, but the Gu Eagle did not intend to let them go, and waved its huge wings, and knocked a few of the people by the stream to the bottom of the river. A few of them fled quickly and climbed up the hill with the rocks, but the Gu Eagle flew towards them silently, and pierced their heads with the horns on their heads, and one after another, the soldiers who had climbed halfway up the mountain fell, and their foreheads were covered with blood.

Seeing such a bloody scene, several children were so frightened that they cried, and the rescued adults hurriedly interrupted them: "What are you crying about, the gods are saving us." "This is not a fairy, it's a monster, a monster that eats people." The child cried louder, and the adult next to him covered his mouth and knelt down with him: "Quick, kowtow to the gods." ”

The Gu Eagle hovered above the stream, and the corners of its face were covered with the blood and brains of deserters. After seeing that the village names were safe and sound, it seemed to be relieved, and a fierce man plunged into the water. Since then, the village seems to have returned to its former calm, but this calm is like the surface of a deep pool, which can be easily broken by a small pebble. The villagers still return from sunrise to sunset, but no one will easily approach the stream except for sacrifices.

They were frightened, not by the deserters, but by the big bird that was killing like crazy. Although no one said anything on the surface, everyone had already determined a fact in their hearts: where is this strange bird what kind of immortal, it is a veritable monster, whose immortal will kill so unscrupulously and wildly.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will take root and sprout wildly. This winter was exceptionally cold, and the villagers didn't catch any large animals in the mountains for a few days, but they were not in a hurry, and the reserves from previous years were enough to tide them over. But one day, a villager found that a few of his sheep were missing, so he had worked hard to drive them all the way from outside the mountain, so he was very anxious when the sheep were lost. But even though he searched the valley, he could not find the few sheep that had been lost. The matter did not stop there, and then all the chickens raised by another villager disappeared in one night, and then the third and fourth families.

Finally, the impatient person found the village chief: "Although this is not appropriate, but this idea is not said in my heart, you said that it is because the weather is cold, and the wild things in the mountains are difficult to find, so the great fairy can't bear it for a while, and begins to eat the livestock we raise." The village chief was still grateful to the Gu Eagle, not only because it brought the whole village to this paradise, but also because his daughter was almost ruined by the deserters, and it was because of the help of the Gu Eagle that she was able to get out. So, he categorically denied the idea of the villagers. "Don't talk nonsense, which eye you saw that the great god did it, it is our savior." "But ......" "Okay, from today onwards, I will organize everyone to patrol at night, and I will definitely give you an explanation." However, before the plan could be implemented, something happened in the village that evening.

Dongdong is missing. Dongdong is Lao Liu's youngest son, only three years old, and was born in this valley. Because of his round head and round brain, he looks like a fat winter melon, so everyone calls him Dongdong. That evening, Aunt Liu was cooking in the kitchen, and Dongdong was playing at the gate of the yard, but when she cooked and called Dongdong in, she found that he was gone. This made Lao Liu's family anxious, and after they couldn't find it in the village, they began to expand the search area to the entire canyon with torches. The people in the village were shocked, and basically the whole village went out to look for the child. But after looking for it all night, I didn't get anything.

When it was almost dawn, the villagers found the stream. The early morning stream is surrounded by moisture, and it is hazy and unclear. Suddenly, someone noticed that an unknown thing was floating in the river: "That...... What is that? Is it a child? The people hurriedly ran in the direction he pointed, and when they came closer, they were all stunned. It's Dongdong, no, to be exact, Dongdong's upper body, floating on the side of the bridge, fluttering up and down with the shaking of the river, and his legs are gone.

Aunt Liu let out a scream and fainted, and everyone else stood by the river in a daze, not knowing what to do for a while. "It's it, it must be it, it's that monster who ate Dongdong." Suddenly, there was an angry roar from the crowd, it was Lao Liu, "I said earlier that it is a monster, a monster that eats people, you still don't believe it, now, who will pay back my son." As he spoke, Lao Liu picked up the remaining torch sticks and walked towards the bottom of the river beach, and behind him, more and more people followed. Wait, things haven't been figured out yet......" The village chief's voice was interrupted by a few childish "quacks". The crowd also stopped and began to look around. On the water of the stream, a few chicks suddenly fluttered out, their hair had not yet grown, but the same horns had grown on their heads as their mothers, at this time, their dark eyes stared at the crowd of people who were engulfed by anger, and innocently cried for help.

"Kill them." I don't know who shouted, breaking the silence of the crowd. "Yes, we can't leave any more troubles and kill them." Lao Liu was confused by the pain of losing his son, and at this moment he had to find an outlet for his pain to vent. So, he took the brunt of the attack and lifted a large rock by the river and smashed it at a chick. The poor chick had its neck broken and blood flowed out, staining the river red. The villagers began to follow Lao Liu's example, lifting stones from the river as if they were thrown into the river, and for a while, the roar of anger and the miserable cries of young birds blended together. The village chief tried to stop them, but no one listened to him at this time, even if he shouted at the top of his voice. It wasn't until the splash on the surface of the river gradually turned red, and there was nothing in the river except the sound of falling stones, that the red-eyed people stopped.

"Iniquity, this is iniquity." The village chief sat on the ground and looked at the red-dyed stream in front of him.

"Quack", there was a sudden terrible cry overhead, the Gu eagle swooped down from the air, it stopped on the water, and kept flapping its wings against the body of the floating young bird, making a burst of wails.

"That'...... What is it? "The village chief suddenly found that there was an object tattooed on its horns, it was a huge wolf, this wolf had been killed by the Gu eagle, but it still had something faintly in its mouth." It's Dongdong's clothes, it's it, it's it that eats Dongdong. The village chief shouted.
