Peach root has been restless these days, and since the ancient embroidery came, Peach Blossom has not said a word. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoFortunately, I still ate the food I should eat, and I slept the sleep I should have slept. It's just that there is no one in the whole day, for several days, every time I go home, I look tired, Peach Blossom Niang asked where she went, only said that she went to the village chief's house to ask something, and then asked in detail, but a few words sent everyone away.

Momogen intends to surrender, even if he eats prison, it's just a misdemeanor, so what? But there is only one son in the Tao family, Peach Blossom's father is getting older, there is no man in the family, it is no different from the sky falling, even if the father and mother don't say it, Peach Blossom will never agree with her younger brother to go to prison.

Peach Blossom Niang's right eyelid has been jumping suddenly for two days, and she is panicked for no reason, and her daughter's abnormal appearance in the past few days makes her feel helpless and comforted. That Gu Shouen's temperament, how can he guard the peach blossoms and live alone for a lifetime, not to mention that they are such a small family, without the support of their mother's family, they must be thrown aside as soon as the freshness passes, and a good girl is equivalent to ruining. But if she wants to think of a good way, it is really embarrassing for her as a village woman. The only thing I can do is to take advantage of the fact that the ancient family's dowry has not arrived and the date is undecided, and then take a good look at my daughter.

How could Peach Blossom not know the thoughts of her family, her younger brother and mother were fine, and her heart was all on her face. But Peach Blossom Daddy didn't even go up the mountain every day, so he stubbornly guarded the peach blossoms, and sat in the courtyard silently when he saw the sky. He watched Peach Blossom go out, and he was still in the same place when he went home. I'm afraid that in the blink of an eye, my daughter will be gone.

Peach Blossom bit her lip, since the decision has been made, don't look ahead, today, I will tell my father and mother about my intentions, not to mention, if they don't agree, this thing can't be done.

At dinner, the family still sat silently and ate by themselves.

Peach Blossom sighed, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "Dad, mother, I have something to say." ”

Peach Blossom's parents and Peach Root looked at Peach Blossom together, what they said at this time, it must not be something that can make people happy, looking at their daughter's fair little face full of solemnity, Peach Blossom Niang felt that something was going to happen again.

Peach Blossom thought silently for a moment, and said softly: "Presumably my father and mother also know that I would rather die than marry someone like Gu Shouen, but the tricks he used are really despicable, even if I die, he will not let go of his younger brother." But if I want to marry him alive, I might as well die. ”

Peach Blossom Daddy and Peach Root both clenched their fists, their faces full of anger. Peach Blossom Niang couldn't help crying, she was the same woman, how could she not understand her daughter's thoughts. If this happened to her, she would just want to die. If it weren't for the fear that Peach Blossom really had the heart to seek death, how could Peach Blossom's father stare at her without blinking.

Peach Blossom smiled hard and said, "Daddy doesn't have to be sad, I already have a way, although I can't have both worlds, but at least, I can keep my younger brother and keep his family." ”

Peach Blossom Daddy was surprised: "These **** ran to the village chief's house, is this the thing?" ”

Peach Blossom nodded and said: "Gu Shouen only gave two roads, but neither of them was what I wanted, I wanted to die, but this is not a solution at all, I must think of an idea that I don't have to marry, and I can make the family have a good idea." ”

Peach Blossom Lady said sadly: "How can there be such a way? The Gu family is so powerful that they can't win by suing officials. ”

Peach Blossom said indignantly: "Don't go to sue the official, you also saw Zhao Zhutou that day, and Gu Shouen is red and white, yin and yang, one slaps in the face, one is for dates, and the drama is all arranged by them." What's the use of suing the officer. ”

Peach Blossom Daddy sighed again.

Peach Blossom gritted her teeth and said, "When the ancient matchmaker left, she said that she wanted to sacrifice to the mountain god, even if she gave me a third way. ”

The family was shocked when they heard this, and the peach root slipped the bowl in his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Sister... What are you doing? ”

Listening to Peach Blossom say this, everyone understands in their hearts, but they never thought that Peach Blossom would make such a decision and make a sacrifice to the mountain god, which is the same as death... What's the difference??

The geographical environment of the ancient village is not good, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, but because it is located in the north, the climate is cold, once the snow disaster, or the weather is too cold, the crops are frozen to death, not to mention, there are not a few people who freeze to death, the beasts have returned to the deep mountain caves, there is no prey to fight at all. Whenever you encounter such a year, you will sacrifice to the mountain god. Pick a young girl, the body is innocent, on the day of the sacrifice wearing a wedding dress, was carried to the bottom of the salt rock peak, the bridal person left before it was dark, put the bride down, and returned to the village. In order to prevent the girl who was a sacrifice from escaping, the red wedding dress worn on the body to the shoes, except for the inside, is all made of paper, can not keep out the cold, can not walk, if it is rescued by the mountain god, it can live, if not, the ghost of the mountain god is dead, always have the effect of sacrificing the mountain god. To put it bluntly, sacrificing to the mountain god is a dead end.

Peach Blossom's eyes immediately turned red, her heart was like a knife, she sniffed, and swallowed back her tears, so she said calmly: "I volunteered to be a sacrifice when I sacrificed to the mountain god, married the mountain god, and became the mother of the mountain god." ”

Peach Blossom Niang burst into tears and sobbed: "Daughter, what is the difference between you and death? ”

Even the peach root, who never sheds tears, has tears in her eyes.

Peach Blossom couldn't hold back her tears anymore and cried: "Death is the same death, but the result is different." He wiped his tears and said: "If I blindly don't marry and commit suicide by hanging a beam on my own, his ancient family will lose face and become angry, and he will inevitably come to trouble his father and younger brother, and ninety percent will still let his younger brother go to prison, so what can you do at home?" Being a mountain god is also death, but the rules of the ancestral hall can protect your father and mother for a lifetime, even if it is a younger brother, you can have a good life. ”

Peach Blossom Daddy asked suspiciously, "What rules?" ”

Peach Blossom said: "I went to the village chief's house these days to ask him to find out the village chronicles of more than ten years ago, as well as the rituals of the ancient family ancestral hall about sacrifices, to see if there are any unwritten errors and omissions." But let her daughter see the etiquette about the family of the mountain god. Because the time is long, and more than ten years have not been sacrificed to the mountain god, the father and mother may not remember, but if you voluntarily marry the mountain god, their family will always be protected by the ancestral hall, ten acres of land, reward one hundred taels of silver, if there are two elders, as the parents of the mountain god, if there is a debt, the ancient family ancestral hall will repay on behalf of the family; The relatives of the same branch are all nobles, exempted from crime, exempt from responsibility, and will never be investigated. ”

Peach Blossom's eyes widened, obviously shocked by such an ordinance. No wonder they don't know, since the ancient village has a sacrificial custom, no girl has ever volunteered to marry the mountain god, the one more than ten years ago, or was forcibly tied up on the mountain, crying under the mountain, not long after, the girl's parents died of illness. Therefore, whether in the old man's memory or in the children's story, sacrificing to the mountain god and being a mother is a terrifying existence.

Momogen stood up and said loudly: "Sister, you are exchanging your life for our life, how can you let me live with peace of mind!" ”

Peach Blossom looked at her tall and sturdy brother and said softly: "What my sister is most afraid of is that you can't exchange your life for your happiness." ”

Taogen wiped the tears that came out of her eyes again, and said absolutely: "I will never let you be that mountain god Niangniang, it's a big deal, the fish is dead and the net is broken, I will go to the county office, Gu Shou Enxiu wants to use me to blackmail you." As he spoke, he rushed out the door.

"Momogen, you stop me!" Peach Blossom slapped the table and shouted at Peach Root, "Have you ever thought about Daddy?" ”

Peach Root was stunned when she heard this, Peach Blossom hurriedly rushed over to pull him back, pressed him on the stool, and said: "If you rush out like this, there will be two consequences, one is that you will go to prison, and the other is that the drama from the previous two days will be repeated again." But it doesn't change anything. As he spoke, he pressed his brother's tightly wrapped shoulders and smiled reluctantly: "I may not be dead when I go, the county chronicles have never written that the body of a mountain god Niangniang has been found, maybe I will still be alive to see you." ”

Momogen wanted to refute, but where to refute it at all, Peach Blossom's consideration is indeed a good countermeasure, if it is someone else, he may also think that this is a feasible solution. But on himself, he can't nod this head anyway.

Peach Blossom's face was full of unwillingness and helplessness, let his own daughter be a sacrifice, he couldn't agree, but if he didn't let it, with Peach Blossom's stubborn nature, even if she was persuaded to marry into the ancient family, it would still be a dead end in the end. If he could, he would rather exchange his life for the life of the peach blossom, since he was a child, he held it in the palm of his hand like a jewel, and he chose to find a good marriage for her, but he didn't think that it was this delay in getting married that gave others an opportunity. It's really strange that he mistook his daughter!

How could Peach Blossom not understand her father's thoughts, and said with a smile: "People are inherently dead, and daughters can fulfill their filial piety to their fathers and mothers before they die, which can be regarded as fulfilling their daughter's responsibilities, and they can also fight for their younger brother to marry a bride price, which can be regarded as fulfilling the power of the eldest sister." Some people may not be able to do this in their lifetime, but for their daughter, it's worth it. ”

Peach Blossom Niang burst into tears and said, "But my father and mother feel that I can't stand you." ”

Peach Blossom snuggled up to her mother, and she couldn't stop crying, and choked up: "What's the matter, my father and mother gave birth to me and raised me, and it's not enough to repay the favor in this life, so how can I say it." My daughter has a clear conscience and has not done evil things, if God has eyes, she will not kill me. ”

However, there are a few of the mountain gods who have always been wicked people, and they are not all good yellow flower girls, and those who came back alive are also not. God, how can you really open your eyes?
