The old woman breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "This old man! The daughter is twenty years old, and five years ago, his daughter-in-law gave birth to a son who had a difficult birth...... He gave birth to a son, but died an adult...... Lao Ding was sad for a long time...... I was thinking...... It is also a blessing to raise my son as an adult...... Unexpectedly, a month ago, a wizard from the Dark Witch Sect came to the village to choose a holy boy and fell in love with his son. ”

"The Dark Witch Sect Chooses the Holy Child?" Li Changsheng frowned slightly, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The old woman lowered her voice and said, "Our village is under the jurisdiction of the Dark Witch Sect, and on weekdays, every once in a while, we have to pay food and tribute to them...... This choice of holy boy sounds good, in fact, the old people in the village know it...... It is a child who takes a child to sacrifice and sends it...... Never heard of coming back...... Lao Ding knew in his heart that he was naturally unbearable, so he resisted. ”

Li Changsheng was stunned and said, "Resistance? Did it work? ”

The old woman smiled bitterly and said, "This Black Witch Sect, in the midst of 100,000 mountains, has a huge power, for them, why do they need to do that kind of hard robbery? The villagers in the village, in their eyes, are like ants, and human life is a worthless thing here...... Lao Ding disagreed, but they didn't rob it, but just said that the villagers in the village would have a month to consider, but ......"

At this point, the old woman stopped.

Li Changsheng asked, "But what?" ”

The old woman said, "But...... But they put voodoo on Lao Ding. ”

"Voodoo?"

The old woman nodded and said, "This old man has been infected with voodoo, his whole body is ulcerated, and the whole person is lying at home for a long time, and he is dying, except for his daughter and youngest son to take care of him, the rest of the villagers do not dare to visit, for fear that the voodoo can be infected...... When the villagers saw Lao Ding, it was like seeing the plague. ”

Li Changsheng frowned and said: "If Lao Ding dies of voodoo, his youngest son will naturally be sent to the Black Witch Sect as a holy child, and the villagers will probably not dare to stop him, right?" ”

"What about blocking it? This black witch cult has clever methods, and if you want a person to die, you can do it unconsciously, and voodoo is powerful...... The villagers simply couldn't crack it...... There is only one life for each person, and if the whole village dares to stop it, the whole village will die...... But if the children of the old Ding family are given away...... At least it can keep the villagers safe. ”

When the old woman said this, she seemed to be a little unbearable, and couldn't help but sigh.

In the eyes of many people, choosing is the hardest thing to do, but in fact, the hardest thing is not the choice, but not even the right to choose.

Those who can choose, at least are lucky, between several roads, try their best to pick the smoothest road to walk, and those who do not even have the right to choose can only be like duckweed, resigned to fate.

The old woman said slowly: "You are from outside the mountain, so naturally you don't know what is happening in this village, so ...... I advise you, have rested enough at my place, pick a time, and leave the village early, leaving this mountain...... These 100,000 mountains...... Dangerous ......"

Li Changsheng thought for a moment and asked, "Old woman, do you know how many villages are controlled by the Dark Witch Sect among the 100,000 mountains?" ”

The old woman shook her head and said, "A lot...... It's so much that we don't even know about it...... This Black Witch Sect has eighteen altars, and only one is the main altar, like our Wuyue Village, which is only supervised by one of the altars...... On weekdays, if you pay food and pay tribute, you will be safe...... Things like the selection of saints happen quite rarely...... It may happen once in years, or even decades, before it happens......"

Li Changsheng's face turned cold, and he said, "It seems that among the 100,000 mountains, this Black Witch Sect can also be regarded as the Earth Emperor?" ”

The old woman smiled faintly and said, "It is indeed the Emperor of the Earth...... However, the people of the Dark Witch Cult rarely appear in the village, and the villagers don't even know where they are going...... It is even more impossible to take the initiative to find them...... There are many dangers in this mountain...... Only by traveling together can you be safer. ”

Li Changsheng said: "It seems that ...... I'm going to Lao Ding's house to have a look. ”

The old woman was stunned and said, "Child...... What are you doing at Lao Ding's house? Now that this old man has been caught in voodoo, the villagers are afraid and beat him at the door of his house...... It's all unlucky...... If you go...... When the villagers saw it, didn't they also have an opinion about you? You're just a passerby...... It's better to bother with these things...... Don't be too curious......"

Li Changsheng said: "If this child of the Lao Ding family is sent to the Black Witch Sect, wouldn't it save the lives of the villagers? In this way...... This Lao Ding's family can be regarded as the life-saving benefactor of the village, how can the villagers treat him like this? ”

The old woman shook her head and said, "Whether to give it or not, how can Lao Ding stop it?" I don't think it's going to be a few days...... Lao Ding will die of anger, and then ...... When the wizards in the Dark Witch Sect come again, the villagers can only send the children of the Lao Ding family out......"

Li Changsheng took a deep breath and said, "I know some cracking techniques, if I go to Lao Ding's house, I may be able to help him heal." ”

"You?" The old woman looked suspicious, a little disbelieving, and said, "Young man...... This voodoo is not an ordinary disease, and it cannot be cured by ordinary medical skills...... If you can heal Lao Ding, it will be a good thing...... It's just that...... If you can't be cured, you get infected by that voodoo and lose your life in vain, it's not good......"

"Rest assured...... The old woman ......" Li Changsheng said, "Otherwise...... If I happen to know how to save Lao Ding's life and save Lao Ding's life, wouldn't I have done a good deed? ”

"This ...... This ......"

The old woman's face showed a look of hesitation.

This old woman is kind-hearted, and when she saw such a thing happen to Lao Ding's family, she couldn't bear it, but she was an old woman, and she was old, what could she do?

Where is her turn to call the shots in this village?

After thinking about it again and again, the old woman hesitated, not knowing whether to take Li Changsheng to Lao Ding's house.

She herself was also worried that if Li Changsheng caused something and was implicated for no reason, wouldn't it cost her family their lives in vain?

Li Changsheng smiled slightly and said comfortingly: "Old woman...... You can rest assured...... Take me to see if you have any concerns in your heart...... Take me outside Lao Ding's house, point out which family it is, and I will go in by myself...... You're out there...... That way, you won't be involved either......"

After hearing this, the old woman sighed and said, "Okay, okay...... I am an old woman, I am old, and the matter of life and death has long been put aside, if you can really save Lao Ding's life...... I'll take you there......"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up, prepared to clean up, and then took Li Changsheng to Lao Ding's house.

Li Changsheng was overjoyed and hurriedly helped the old woman with her work.

The tea shop quickly closed its stalls.
