"No, the fault is still on her in the end! If it weren't for her, then she wouldn't have gathered all those 'bad luck' together, and nothing like today's would have happened, right?"

"Am I right?"

A young man said, and he couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that all the people around him were looking at him.

"Without her, we can still live in peace, all this is her fault, only by sacrificing her can we avoid our calamity!"

The young man said eagerly, staring at An Sheng with a fixed gaze.

When the tide swept across the field, he was just a little bit close to being swallowed up.

Glancing at the sleeping boy on the side, the scars all over his body were like sharp blades, and the man couldn't help but feel scared for a while.

The fear of death will not really be understood until it is really approaching.

After listening to the man's words, many people began to whisper to the people around them.

"No, even without this child, we would still be in trouble. ”

At this time, Grandma spoke up again, ignoring the man's stunned gaze, "Even without the arrival of this child, we will still be punished by calamity, which is an inevitable curse. Bad luck accumulates in every child born...... Men, take off your shirts. ”

When the men heard Grandma's words, they froze in place.

The beating of the cane made a series of rapid "knock" sounds.

The men followed Grandma's words and hurriedly took off their shirts.

"This ......"

The women glanced curiously at the men around them, their eyes immediately widening.

Incredible.

The men also looked at the upper body of the same sex and showed a smile of "sure enough".

Some of their upper bodies are in the heart, and some are in the spleen and lungs......

Most of the men had a round, hideous wound on their upper body, blackened and formed a slightly raised blood scab, like a wound that had healed after being pierced by a spear.

Grandma raised the cane in her hand and swung it a few times.

The misty white mist in the sky slowly fell, covering the men's bodies like a light gauze.

Those hideous wounds suddenly turned into black patches under the white mist.

"Bad luck accumulates in every child that is born, and from the very beginning, it erodes the body, and when it comes to giving birth to one's own offspring, bad luck will break out of the body and flow into the offspring. ”

And out of bad luck, people who are absorbed from the body will become weak, which is why men do not live long, and bad luck is accumulated from generation to generation. ”

"And Ansheng, she will absorb the bad luck in the children's bodies and gather them into her own body, so the children will have a sense of being one, so when you want to sacrifice Ansheng, the children's reaction will be so violent. ”

The adults who were holding their children breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the children who had fallen asleep in their arms, and were relieved.

Grandma carefully looked at the scars on the man's body and continued:

"Moreover, when the bad luck accumulates to a certain extent, it will cause a riot, and all the people who store bad luck in their bodies will be extremely violent, and start to fight unconsciously, and the killer will get the bad luck in the body of the deceased, and in this way, there will be only one person left in the end, and that is the person who will be the calamity. ”

"And the calamity of the person, every seven years of age, the bad luck in the body will pull the curse of the township, and bring natural disasters to the township, and each time it is more and more serious. ”

The people standing on the steps looked at each other in amazement.

The young man who spoke at the beginning also looked stunned, and asked uncertainly, "Will we start killing each other?" and then become a disaster......

"At that time, the natural disasters are not terrible, but the people who are the calamities are even more terrifying, and they will start killing endlessly, and only by killing them can they stop. Man-made disasters are far more terrifying than natural disasters. ”

Grandma stroked the cane in her hand and said slowly.

"So, do you choose to let my children endure this?"

An Qing stroked An Sheng's face and said, looking at Grandma, "Is all this in your plan?"

"I didn't notice her peculiar constitution when she came in, and you know, I'm not omnipotent. ”

Grandma answered An Qing's question, and said guiltily: "If I can really be like you...... Maybe this wave won't kill so many villagers, and your children won't bear these ......"

"So, what do you mean?"

"If she wakes up, will she kill us?"

"Then you have to sacrifice her quickly......"

The people on the steps asked eagerly.

Grandma looked at the steps, "No. ”

When the words fell, everyone else stopped their words and looked at Grandma fixedly, waiting for her decision.

Grandma looked at An Sheng and said in a deep voice:

"This child will not suffer from the rage caused by bad luck, but the erosion of bad luck will be more severe, and it will also cause a natural disaster every seven years, and my ability is not as good as before......

"What do you mean?" someone in the crowd asked.

"Let this child become a shrine maiden, and the curse will be lifted from her body. ”

As soon as the words fell, the audience was silent.

"How can you make her a witch, this is a matter of survival for the township!"

The girl who had helped An Sheng speak also quickly shook her head, "Grandma, isn't this inappropriate?

"yes, if you give it to her......"

The young man stared at An Sheng, who seemed to be half asleep, and said, just now he shouted the strongest, wanting to put An Sheng to death.

And now, if Ansheng becomes a shrine maiden......

The young man shook his head and shouted, his heart full of resistance.

The rest of the people shouted one after another, "How can a child accept such a great responsibility?"

"If you have such a child's heart, how can you be competent?"

Grandma was silent, frowned, held her head in her hand and raised her head with her cane, and knocked it down heavily.

The air flow tumbled, shaking away like a circle of waves, and a strange wind rolled up.

"Of course, I know what the shrine maiden represents. ”

Grandma's breathing became a little heavier, and the action just now seemed to make the already thin body a little stiffer.

"The shrine maiden represents the township, and has the ability to rule everything in the township. ”

"Now there are only two ways, to sacrifice this child, or to let her accept the inheritance of the shrine maiden. ”

"I disagree!"

The young girl scolded, and when she saw the people around her and Grandma looking over, her tone became a little softer, "I... After all, Ansheng is still young, isn't there still seven years to go? I believe that in a few more years, I will be able to take up the position of a shrine maiden very well. ”

"When I inherit the shrine maiden, I will definitely be able to prevent the natural disaster that occurs once every seven years. ”

Many people nodded their heads and agreed with the young girl's statement.

"I oppose Yao Lin's proposal!"

A woman's cry was heard, and many people immediately echoed it.

Yao Lin, who was already apprehensive, immediately looked over when she saw that the women objected to her statement.

The women chattered one after another: "Seven years? Who knows if the old ancestors left behind them are really accurate? What if it is seven months, what if it is seven days?"

"Who's going to keep my kids safe?!"

"Even Grandma, you're not necessarily sure that those that have been handed down are completely correct, right?!"

Grandma nodded, "I'm not sure if it's seven years." ”

"So!"

The woman ignored Yao Lin's gaze and said firmly: "I don't agree to wait another seven years, now, just today, I will sacrifice Ansheng!"

"Ignorance! Do you know that what you say can take a person's life!"

Yao Lin looked at the woman, trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart.

"Then even if you become a shrine maiden, can you really inherit it?Can you guarantee that your ability can stop the next natural disasters and save the lives of the villagers?!"

The woman shouted loudly, her eyes fierce.

For a while, the two sides arose, and there was a constant argument.

One side is Yao Lin's side, and he has supported Yao Lin to inherit the position of witch for a few years.

On the one hand, the woman is on the side, supporting the immediate execution of An Sheng.

The argument was extremely noisy, and Grandma stood quietly listening to the argument between the two parties.

On the side, An Qing's face became more and more gloomy.
