Chapter 399: Dissolving Hatred
The woman choked a few times, and then said: "So we killed Yin Fang in total, and a few of us tricked her into the mountain col and hanged her alive. ”
When Gao Lan heard this, she was extremely surprised, and her heart was sad for a while, she stretched out her finger and poked the people in front of her fiercely, and asked sharply: "How can you be so cruel!" It turns out that your whole village is a murderer, a murderer! Not a good thing! ”
The more Gao Lan spoke, the more angry she became, and then she flew and instantly kicked down the table in front of her.
The villagers were terrified.
"Master, don't be angry! Destroy the altar, and it will be damned. ”
Gao Lan was extremely angry, and his eyes widened: "You are still afraid of being punished by God, you have done these things that hurt God and reason, and you still have the face to say that you will be punished by God!" ”
Seeing that Gao Lan was about to teach a lesson, Yeyang hurriedly grabbed her and said in a deep voice: "Dao Chief, calm down!" ”
Gao Lan slowly suppressed his anger at this time.
The village chief got up, looked guilty, and shouted to the sky: "It's our mistake, it's our mistake!" All this is retribution! ”
"Village chief, you can't let them go, since they know all this, they will definitely report to the official!"
When the village chief heard this, he made a bitter face and said bitterly: "Everyone, don't be obsessed anymore!" Then we can't sleep well all day long, and live with a clear conscience! Think about how peaceful our village used to be, but now at night, people are terrified. What a day this is! I'm the head of Love's Village, and I've turned a blind eye to this matter before, and I'm responsible for it, so blame me. ”
When everyone heard that someone had taken the initiative to take responsibility, they were silent and depressed.
Seeing this, Yeyang said without hurrying and saying: "The whole village has done something wrong, and only the village chief can bear it, I'm afraid he can't afford it." ”
There was a hint of threat in his tone, and some people in the crowd began to be uneasy: "Yes, we should take responsibility, otherwise our conscience will be disturbed." ”
One person took a step forward: "Master, we know that we have done wrong, and we accept this retribution calmly, but we also ask the master for advice or two, which dissolves this hatred and allows Miss Yin's spirit in the sky to be comforted." After all, there are still young children in the village, they have to grow up normally, they are innocent......"
At the mention of children, the villagers felt guilty.
"Alas, yes, for the sake of the children, for the sake of future generations, our older generation has done something wrong, and we should be punished. We can't let the descendants of Love Village laugh at the world, and our mountain god Niangniang will also be angry with us. The village chief was worried.
"Yes, the village chief is right. I hurt her back then, and I am willing to go to the yamen and turn myself in," the woman said sincerely.
"And me, I bullied her."
"And me."
“……”
"We plan to re-bury Miss Yin and set up an ancestral hall next to the mountain temple for her, which is called the Hall of Repentance, and those who have done wrong things will worship once a month to repent of their mistakes and pray for her soul to rest in peace. Master, what do you think of this? After Hu Lao finished speaking, he looked at Yeyang.
Yeyang glanced at Gao Lan, who was silent next to him, and then said, "Since everyone really has the heart to repent, I hope you will do what you say." ”
Gao Lan came over and sighed in his ear: "I don't know if Hu Ping heard this, if he heard, I hope he can stop it." ”
Yeyang didn't move and said: "I've been here, just now behind the mountain in the distance." ”
"Huh? Why didn't I see it? Gao Lan hurriedly searched around.
Yeyang said: "I left early, you patronize and get angry, where can you take care of anything else!" ”
When Gao Lan heard this, he smiled and said, "As soon as I heard their words, I was furious and couldn't control myself. Then you say, should we meet this Hu Ping? ”
Yeyang said leisurely: "If he wants to see us, he will naturally come to us, if he doesn't want to, we don't need to debunk it." It doesn't matter if there is a 'ghost' like him hiding in the shadows to support justice, at least supervising the villagers who have done wrong. ”
Gao Lan sighed: "Alas, it's quite ironic to rely on 'ghosts' to supervise human nature." ”
Yeyang flicked his wide sleeves and took a long sigh of relief: "Okay, this matter is almost over, and we should pack up and hit the road." ”
Gao Lan suddenly felt that this time his heart was very fulfilling, helping such a weak woman who died unjustly, and he was wronged, not to mention how happy and satisfied he was.
The two returned to Hu's house, packed their bags and prepared to go on the road.
In front of them, Hu Lao suddenly bent his knees and knelt on the ground: "Two masters, thank you for your advice, in this life, there are some mistakes that should not be made, and once they are made, it will be a nightmare for a lifetime." ”
Yeyang helped him up: "Old Hu, get up and talk." ”
Hu Lao sighed deeply: "Back then, Yin Fang's incident was my dereliction of duty as the village head, and I also connived at their crimes, and my son also had a big quarrel with me because of this matter, and he never came back." ”
Hearing that he took the initiative to mention Hu Ping's matter, Gao Lan and Yeyang silently glanced at each other.
Gao Lan continued to ask: "Then your son Hu Ping and Yin Fang ......?"
"They have nothing to do, my son is still young, he is kind-hearted, and he doesn't know anything about men and women, but once when he went out hunting, he almost fell off the cliff, and it was Yin Fang who desperately pulled him up, and he sighed."
When Gao Lan heard this, he was a little angry and said: "So that's the case, she is kind to your son, when she is in trouble, you really shouldn't be so indifferent!" ”
"Yes, I'm cowardly, I'm ashamed!" Hu Lao's face was full of self-blame, "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised and make up for my previous mistakes." ”
Yeyang didn't say anything, and said to Gao Lan for a while: "Dao Chief, let's go on the road." ”
Gao Lan and Yeyang led the horse slowly down the mountain, chatting as they walked.
Gao Lan sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect this small mountain village to have such a tragic story." ”
Yeyang breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "I think Hu Ping didn't want revenge at the beginning, it was he who put Yin Fang's body behind the stone statue of the mountain god, and he hoped that the villagers who came to worship the mountain god would worship Yin Fang who died unjustly. Later, due to the earthquake, the statue of the mountain god collapsed, and Yin Fang's body returned to the sight of the villagers, and their indifference and guiltlessness made Hu Ping finally determined to avenge her. With the fear and uneasiness of the villagers, his plan was easily realized. ”
Gao Lan thought for a while, but was still puzzled: "I saw the ghost floating in the cliff with my own eyes, how did he do it?" ”
