Chapter 147: Mother on Stone
Where the homicide took place, there is no pattern to it.
From the ancestral hall of the clan, to the well, or even in front of the stilted building of a certain family.
There is no way to find out.
When the moon is full, adult males from almost every household patrol the village.
Women and girls were crammed into one room.
Holding each other, shivering.
Rao is like this, there are still people, missing under their noses.
No one has ever seen the true face of the 'murderer'.
Occasionally, on full moon nights, a dog barks like a dog, a ferocious and violent bark.
When the tribesmen rushed over, they would only see the remains of corpses that had died horribly.
'Murderer', like a ghost......
At all, it is impossible to find it.
After many months, the panic within the clan rose to the extreme.
There was a woman who got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet.
It was windy that day.
A plantain leaf blew into her face......
She was frightened and passed out.
It took several days before I came to my senses.
The spirit of the whole person is not as good as before.
The tribesmen have also gradually reduced the number of times they go out.
Especially in the family, there are children about seven years old, and they can't sleep almost all night.
I'm just worried that when I wake up, the child will be taken away by the 'divine dog'.
The legend of exterminating the clan is like a heavy stone, pressing on the hearts of every You clan.
Great Elder, in just a few months, his hair turned from black to white.
He tried every possible way, but he couldn't catch the murderer.
Seeing it, the emotions of the people in the village are panicking day by day. The Great Elder was helpless and hurried out of the village once.
When he returned, his face was filled with anger and grief.
He summoned his people, and in public, he proclaimed loudly.
He went out this time and specially visited the 'Gu mother-in-law'.
I learned from the mouth of the 'Gu mother-in-law' that all this was not a punishment of the 'Gu God' at all, but a man-made disaster.
The one who commits man-made disasters is the one who is real and should be spurned by the 'Gu God'.
This person, hiding from everyone, conceived one, 'Forbidden Gu'.
The so-called 'divine dog' killing is nothing more than a heinous crime committed by this terrifying Gu worm.
The Great Elder said that in his hand, there was a clue given to him by the 'Gu Mother-in-law'.
Soon, he will be able to find the culprit who has caused trouble and unrest in the clan.
The clansmen cheered and excited.
'Gu Mother-in-law' is the most powerful and mysterious head lowering master in Yunnan.
is as arrogant as the twelve clans, and in front of her, she must also respect her ancestors.
It is said that more than 300 years ago, there were various stories about her.
No one knows how old she is.
She is the 'Gu God', synonymous with the world.
Her words are like wise sayings, no one is unconvinced.
After the 'Great Elder' finished speaking, he left in a hurry, as if he wanted to study the clues given to him by the 'Gu Mother-in-law' all night.
The clansmen, after a lot of hard work, finally looked forward to the good news, but they didn't expect it......
Early the next morning, the Great Elder was found and died tragically in the house......
The corpse, in pieces, also had marks of being bitten by a mad dog.
He who dies cannot die again.
His eyes widened......
It seems, seeing something, can't believe something.
Die with a grievance or everlasting regret.
At this moment, the entire 'You Clan' clan completely exploded.
The Great Elder is one of the best head lowering masters in the clan.
Even he has suffered an accident, so who else can escape from the clutches of the 'murderer'?
The second elder, almost immediately, gave the order.
It is necessary to lift the village and move away from Wenshan, which has been inherited for thousands of years.
Take refuge elsewhere.
All the people who relocated to the land were frightened, and none of them disagreed.
Just when everyone, packing up and preparing for the big time of migration, the 'Gu mother-in-law', who rarely walks outside, actually came to visit in person.
She said that before her analysis, there was a mistake.
Killed the Great Elder in vain.
The tragedy that happened to the Youshi lineage was indeed the work of the 'divine dog' descended by the Gu God.
In order to make up for her mistakes, she spent decades of her life and communicated with the Gu God.
You can implore the 'Gu God' to take back the 'Divine Dog' and save the You clan from being wiped out.
But there is one condition.
'Gu Mother-in-law' said that although the Gu God withdrew the punishment, its 'divine dog' tasted people. The sweetness of meat, for a while, absolutely can't stop the idea of eating people.
may disobey God's will and continue to harm others.
Every month, before the full moon, she would send someone to name a seven-year-old child, who was the one who was taken by the 'divine dog' and was to be eaten at the full moon.
This child, no matter where he is, cannot escape the doom of being persecuted by the 'divine dog'.
Unless, taken away by her, she will be taken as an apprentice.
In this way, the child, and her fate, the 'divine dog' will no longer have long eyes, and he will have to give up.
Granny Gu estimated that such a situation would last for a full twelve months.
In order to make the 'divine dog' completely dispel the idea.
After Granny Gu finished speaking, she looked around and asked the You clan if they could accept it.
Gu Mother-in-law's apprentices, in Miao Jiang, are all well-known head lowering masters.
Not only can you eliminate the punishment of the Gu God, but your own children can also become the apprentices of the 'Gu Mother-in-law', where is this requirement, it is simply great news.
As soon as she said this, the clansmen, naturally no one disagreed.
And so it settled.
Sure enough, as Granny Gu said, no one in the clan has been bitten to death by a vicious dog since then.
The You clan, every month, sends a seven-year-old child to be an apprentice to Granny Gu.
Soon after, she took the children to visit her home.
These children, when they are sent over, will hardly bow their heads.
But in just a few months, driving Gu worms and urging witchcraft came easily.
The clansmen, seeing that the children they sent over were so promising, scrambled to send their children to the 'Gu Mother-in-law'.
My mother, too, was no exception.
I am not a descendant, and within the clan, it is almost impossible to become a powerful head descender.
So my mother, doing everything possible, wanted me to become the apprentice of 'Gu Mother-in-law'.
Originally, I thought so......
But......
Until that thing......
It happened only after I realized that my thoughts ......
How funny, how ridiculous.
In the world, how can there be such a good thing as pie in the sky, everything is a trap that harms people! ”
Yang Liu's voice suddenly fluctuated violently:
"That night, it was a full moon.
Granny Gu's lady just picked up a seven-year-old boy not long ago.
I used a tree branch to draw on the ground on the ground with the branches of a tree to increase my proficiency in the mantra.
As I watched, it was getting dark.
I stopped, cut my fingers with a knife, fed the few Gu worms I had kept in the jar, and returned home.
Xiao Yezi was sitting on the steps in front of the door, playing with a grasshopper in his hand.
After seeing me, Xiao Yezi threw away the grasshopper and threw herself into my arms, squeaking and saying that she was hungry and wanted to eat.
I was stunned for a moment, and instantly felt that something was wrong.
Right now......
It's late.
Why hasn't my mother come back yet?
Niang is a person with a strong sense of time.
I've grown so big, my mother has never been to dinner, when she is not at home.
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
Something must have happened......
I panicked, so I hurriedly called out to the nearby clansmen to find my mother together.
But my mother is just a young lady from a rich man's family.
Within the clan, it's nothing at all.
If you say, Xiao Yezi and I are still reluctantly regarded as clansmen by them.
My mother, it's like garbage.
No one cares whether she lives or dies.
There was no one at all, who answered my call.
Therefore, I can only be alone, carrying a small leaf, looking for my mother all over the mountains......
I took pictures of everything in the village, outside the village.
But there is no trace of my mother......
I was so anxious that I was about to cry.
I walked down the mountain road, downward, I don't know how far.
When the sun was setting, I finally found my mother......
Mom, on a rock, grinning, smiled at me.
Laughing, beautiful, and kind.
The afterglow of the setting sun casts a layer on her, a bewitching and mysterious orange.
She had jet-black hair and shiny hair.
It's indescribably good-looking.
But I couldn't laugh.
Because on the stone, there is only the mother's head.
Below the neck, empty......
Nothing.
