Chapter 7: The Great Conspiracy

I subconsciously chased two steps, watched the man run down the hill in more and more fright, and fell down twice in embarrassment for fear of being chased by me.

That's when I stopped abruptly.

What's the use of catching up now?

The people in the village decided that I had killed my mother and my four uncles and aunts, and this man saw with his own eyes that the snake demon who was with me had killed his companions.

I jumped into the Fulong Canal and couldn't clear my innocence.

Thinking of this, I am a little desperate, but also a little glad that my mother left early and left innocently, unlike me, even if I am going to die, I have to bear the charge of murder that was wrongfully accused.

I turned around, sighed, and said resignedly: "Snake demon, you have killed so many people, you will definitely not be kind enough to save me, what do you want?" ”

"I am not a snake demon, nor have I ever killed anyone."

"You talk nonsense, I saw it with my own eyes!" I was even more disgusted with him, "My life is here, if you want to kill him, do it as soon as possible!" ”

"I said, you are my wife, how could I kill you?" He frowned slightly, and there seemed to be a bit of confusion in his tone.

"Who's your wife? Do you really think of yourself as a dragon god? Even if I'm anyone's wife, it's the dragon god's, not your snake demon's! ”

I was so angry that I ignored the eyebrows he raised when I said the second half of my sentence.

There was a stalemate for a long time.

I broke the ice first, "You—you're not going to kill me, are you?" ”

"Well, I won't kill you, but the hundred-year-old snake demon was born for you, and you are the safest only in the Dragon Temple."

When I heard this, I became angry again.

If you don't kill me and want me to go to the Dragon Temple, don't you just want to imprison me inside?!

I've done it twice with him, so I know what he's going to do.

Snake nature, those two times, the first time I didn't have any impression, but the second time I had a memory, he tossed me all night.

I took a deep breath, "Don't go too far, you want me to be your confinement?" Then you might as well kill me now, I don't have a father or a mother, and I'm not afraid of death! ”

"Confinement? What's that? ”

I'm stumped.

Looking at his golden eyes, I didn't seem to be faking, and I didn't know how to explain to him for a while.

You can't say that it's imprisoned, that, that, or something, right?

I shook my head violently, "Nothing! If you don't kill me, I won't go back to the Dragon Temple with you, I'm leaving! Don't follow me, or I'll find a Taoist priest to accept you! ”

After speaking, without waiting for him to answer, I went straight down the mountain.

Fulong Village can't accommodate me, but I have to at least find a place to go, so I might as well go back to school first and ask the teacher if the admission letter has arrived.

The university I applied for is some distance away from Fulong Village, and when the time comes, stay away from here, and this snake demon may not be able to chase after me.

I had a good plan in my heart, but I didn't expect that before I reached the foot of the mountain, I saw that all the strong men in the village were coming up the mountain with their guys.

When they saw me, they were all shocked and furious, and there was a bit of hidden anger on their faces.

"Pang Yu, Xiang Yong, did you kill them? You are mad, married to the dragon god, and you dare to mix with the snake demon, kill so many people, and marry you to the dragon god, it is simply a defilement of the dragon god, go back to the village with us, and deal with it according to the rules! ”

"I didn't kill anyone, and I didn't mess with the snake demon, isn't the reason why the snake demon followed me because you sent me to the Dragon Temple?"

Of course, I didn't say that the snake demon called himself a dragon god.

In my heart I do not believe.

Ryujin ...... That's a dragon, in this world, there may be ghosts, there are monsters, but how can there be dragons?

Moreover, I suspect that the dragon god is not the dragon god in the Fulong Canal at all, but the snake demon is hidden.

But I can't tell them the truth now, and they won't believe me.

The former is the people of the village, eyeing the tiger; Then there is the snake demon, who wants to imprison me in the Dragon Temple as a prison.

I have nowhere to go.

Eventually, I was forced to be tied up by the people of the village and sent directly to the courtyard of the ancestral hall.

When the people in the ancestral hall heard that I had killed someone again and was arrested, they came to see the excitement, and in the end, they were all driven away by the village chief.

Only the village chief remained.

I looked at the tired face of the village chief, remembered the care he took for me and my mother when I was a child, and couldn't help but speak: "Village chief, I really didn't kill people, and I didn't want to mess with the snake demon." ”

"Xiaoyu, someone has seen this with their own eyes, you can't deny it." The village chief shook his head and sighed, looking sorry for me.

I still wanted to say something, but I raised my head, but saw a flash of gold in the village chief's originally cloudy eyes.

If it weren't for the incident of the fourth uncle, I would have a deep memory of this anomaly, and I almost thought I was wrong.

I immediately shouted, "Village Chief! ”

The village chief looked back at me, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Village Chief, you—Do you feel any discomfort......

I was a little nervous, and my hands and feet tied in the courtyard of the ancestral hall couldn't help but tremble.

"No, Xiaoyu, you...... Take care of yourself! Alas. ”

He sighed and turned out of the ancestral shrine.

I glanced at the hemp rope that bound me, and the thick cross, from which I could not escape.

I'd like to go back to the Dragon Temple with that snake demon now, at least, he can't keep an eye on me, there's always a way to escape.

And right now, I'm really hard to move an inch.

In the evening, there were more people in the ancestral hall, and many people brought firewood and piled it under the cross that bound me.

My heart sank.

Now I finally understand that the last time they only planned to send me back to the Dragon God Temple, it was for the sake of the Dragon God's face.

This time, seeing that I was mixed with the so-called snake demon, I was afraid that I would not respect the dragon god and implicate the village, and planned to burn me directly.

We have a popular burial here, cremation of the dead, which is equivalent to crushing people's bones and scattering ashes, and there is no chance of reincarnation, and for so many years, few have done so.

But they were afraid that because I had offended the dragon god, they would burn me alive.

"Quick, it's evening, yin and yang alternate, take advantage of the snake demon who doesn't dare to come out and burn Pang Yu to death, let's choose another wife to give to Lord Dragon God at that time!"

"But the village chief won't let us ......"

"The village chief is just too soft-hearted, otherwise, would so many people have died? Have you forgotten what happened to them? They were all harmed by Pang Yu! ”

The man shut up and looked at me in the same afar.

I was tied to the cross, and knowing that there was no way to escape, my heart calmed down.

Thinking about what happened these days, it all started from the rainstorm, to when I was sent to the Dragon Temple, my mother died tragically, the strange death of the fourth uncle and four aunts, and the snake demon who killed Xiang Yong.

It looks like everything looks like a huge conspiracy.

And this conspiracy is still coming at me.

"Quick, the sun is about to set, it's now, light the fire!"

After one of them finished speaking, the other directly lit the match in his hand and threw it on the peach branch at my feet.

The dry mahogany branches met the flames, and in an instant, the sky-high flames engulfed me, and the tongue of fire swept in!
