Chapter 2 Heavy rain
"Boom—"
A series of thunder suddenly sounded in the clear sky, and lightning flashed in the sky, like a thunder dragon with teeth and claws, appearing and disappearing in the air.
Big drops of rain fell unscrupulously, and instantly joined together, as if the naughty child had cut the thread through the curtain, and thousands of beads fell down with a tinkling dong, layer by layer dense in front of them, and soon people were blinded.
Thunderbolts accompanied by the sound of explosion and thunder, swooping down like a heart-rending lung, swords and swords, murderous.
Seeing that the fire that had just been lit was extinguished in the blink of an eye, wisps of smoke came out, as if mocking the ignorance and ignorance of the villagers silently.
Mu Lan opened her misty eyes, looking through the rain curtain and looking at the villagers who were frightened by the sound of thunder and rain.
"Demons, demons, what demons!"
The old man at the head was helped up in a panic, and the dragon head crutch in his hand pointed to Mu Lan on the high platform, and shouted hoarsely.
"This woman even sent a punishment from heaven, she is a scourge, let her be exposed here for 7749 days, and no one in the whole village is allowed to approach her!"
The cruel words made Mu Lan raise her head suddenly, and through the hazy rain curtain, she glared fiercely at the old man in brocade.
Mother's, the old lady stole his mother-in-law or dug up his mother's ancestral grave, and gave such a cruel and inhumane order!
Mu Lan cursed this old man fiercely in her heart, she came here for no reason, and before she could figure out what was going on, she was burned at the stake with this damn thing.
Finally, a heavy rain came, and before she could rejoice that her life was saved, she was sentenced to torture again!
Exposed to the sun for 7749 days, she will be starved to death if she is not thirsty to death!
She has committed some kind of unacceptable crime, and she should be treated like this!
Mu Lan suddenly felt dizzy, and felt like a lot of things were stuffed into his head.
Memories flooded her brain, and the pain was like a thousand pins pricked, giving her the urge to slap her head.
The pouring rain washed over her head and relieved the pinprick pain, blurring her vision and seeing the figures under the high platform.
The old man at the head had already left, and the other villagers had also left one after another, all of them drenched in soup, but they were still pointing at the wooden blue on the stake.
"This girl is really wicked! The patriarch let her go like this! ”
"Or what?! Whoever touches her is unlucky! ”
"But no, let's go, let's go quickly, stay away from this demon!"
"Phew, this dead girl will harm our village, you can't let her go like this!"
"His aunt, don't toss, the patriarch has said, no one should come near her!"
"That's it, you're not afraid that she will harm your baby!"
"Mu Lan, Mu Lan, Ah Niang, you save Mu Lan......" A girl struggled to get close to the high platform, but was pulled by a woman.
"Bai Su, you dead girl, you can't go crazy, Mu Lan's girl killed her grandmother when she was born, and now she has killed her father, she is a scourge, a broom star, whoever is close to her is unlucky, do you want to save her to cause public anger?!"
"A-Niang, Mu Lan is not a scourge, she is very kind and has never harmed anyone, her grandmother and father are not harmed by her, A-Niang, let's save her!" The girl tried hard to break free from the woman's pull, but her strength was smaller than the woman's and she couldn't get out.
"Dead girl, don't go back to Lao Tzu!" A man rushed up, dragged the girl over, and pulled her away.
"Daddy, you let me go, I'm going to save Mu Lan......"
Mu Lan looked at the girl who was pulled away by her father, who was the only one who showed kindness to her.
The rain was still pouring down, and the figures in the rain were getting farther and farther away, and only the wooden blue tied to the stakes on the high platform was left in the square.
Mu Lan closed his eyes, sorting out the memories that suddenly appeared in his mind.
It turned out that the owner of her body was also called Luo Mulan, just a fifteen-year-old girl, and on the night she was born, her grandmother died suddenly.
Her grandfather kicked her father's family out of the house.
Her father and mother moved to live on the west side of the village, and although their family was poor but still happy.
Both parents were honest farmers, and my father would sometimes go to the mountains to hunt or chop firewood to support the family.
Mu Lan's parents gave birth to seven children in a row, but only two of them were left, she and her younger brother, who was only six years old, and the older brother and middle brother and sister all died one after another.
The small mountain village they live in is called Luojia Village, which is an ancient mountain village that has been inherited for thousands of years, and there are hundreds of families in the village, all of whom are surnamed Luo, and the Luo clan patriarch and clan elders have high power. Although there are also Lizheng, Lizheng also has to listen to the patriarch and the clan elders.
Three months ago, the father of the little girl Mu Lan came back from chopping firewood in Beishan, and was drenched in rain and wind, and was bedridden the next day.
A few days later, his father's illness worsened, and his mother went to beg the patriarch, but for some reason he went home in a hurry, and then he stopped going out and locked up the Mu Lan siblings.
Half a month later, my father died of a serious illness, and within a few days, my mother followed in my father's footsteps and became ill, and only a few days later.
Mu Lan cried and fainted at the head of her mother's bed, and when she woke up, her younger brother Mu Dou was nowhere to be found, and the house was also broken into by Li Zheng, and then she was put on the fire to carry out the so-called burning at the stake.
This is also the reason why Mu Lan, who is a modern returnee medical doctor, suddenly crossed over and threw himself into Mu Lan, a small village girl.
Mu Lan carefully recalled the little girl's memories and found that she had a blank memory, that is, the days when her mother was seriously ill, and how her younger brother Pi Pea disappeared.
No matter how she thought about it, Mu Lan didn't find this very important memory, and she always felt that this memory was crucial.
The raindrops fell on Mu Lan's body, making her feel a cold and biting cold.
She looked up at her surroundings, and the mountains in the distance were like hideous monsters in the rain, showing their fierce side with teeth and claws.
Night gradually fell, and the mountain wind accompanied the rain curtain, like layers of cold ice invading the god of Mu Lan.
The undulating houses in the village in the rain curtain were also lying quietly like monsters in the distance, as if they were opening their mouths silently, ready to devour Mu Lan's thin body.
Strands of rain-soaked hair blocked Mu Lan's vision, and a chill came from her body telling her that she was now feverish.
In a blur of consciousness, she felt someone calling softly, whispering with urgency and caution.
It's just that her heavy eyes can't be opened, Mu Lan feels that her body is hot and cold, her consciousness is confused, she feels that someone is slapping her face and calling her name, she wants to respond to the other party, but the sound she makes is only heard by herself.
"Mu Lan, Mu Lan, wake up......"
