Chapter 1 Why didn't you want to marry me in the first place?
In the depths of winter, the cold wind is cold, the ground is frozen at night after the heavy snowfall, and the dark sky is not bright.
At three o'clock, the people of the entire Zhujia Village, regardless of men, women and children, all went to the top of the temple mountain in their village with torches, and the night sky through which the large firelight also lit up.
Zhu Fan saw that the firelight was getting closer and closer to her, and her tied body trembled unconsciously, and even she didn't know if it was because she was angry or cold, or scared.
The people of Zhujia Village, led by the village chief, finally stopped in front of Zhu Fan, and the raging fire made Zhu Fan, who was accustomed to the previous darkness, a little uncomfortable.
"Zhu Fan, do you know what is wrong?"
The white-bearded old man stood at the forefront, looking at the embarrassed girl with those cloudy but shrewd eyes.
Zhu Fan's body trembled even more, and his lips trembled slightly, like a fish in his throat, but it was not because he was sad.
"Wrong?"
She sneered, and her eyes, which should have been beautiful, were full of chill at this time, and she looked around at the other villagers in a circle, and finally fixed on the face of the village chief Zhu Rong.
"I never felt like I was at fault," Zhu Fan looked at the person in front of him with a firm gaze, "It was two years ago, and it will still be two years later." β
The village chief's expression was stagnant, his jaw was tight, and it took a long time to look away and wave his hand, "Forget it, bury it." β
After tonight, they wish that their village would no longer be plagued by disasters, and that the gods would forgive them.
"If you do this, aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder?!"
Several strong men stepped forward and lifted the cross stake that tied her, Zhu Fan's eyes were red, and he shouted loudly as he looked at his indifferent faces.
Finally, she stopped her gaze on the two people in the crowd who had been lowering their heads and lowering their eyes, "Dad! Did you just believe them?! I'm your own daughter! β
She didn't know where the strength came from, so she was stunned and didn't let those strong men drag her away.
The teeth are shaking, the hands are shaking, and the legs are shaking.
Her words made the eyes of the others also turn to Zhu and his wife, as well as Zhu Fan's sister and sister who were standing next to them.
Zhu Zhu was dressed in a single dress, and his already thin body looked even thinner in this cold winter night.
He closed his eyes almost depressedly, then opened them, hid the pain in his eyes, and said, "Fan'er, don't fight anymore, you should know that this is your life." β
To sacrifice the gods with blood, in order to ensure that the wind and rain in the village are smooth, for thousands of years, they have been living in this way, no one can be an exception.
"Life?"
Zhu Fan looked at her father's slightly vicissitudes of life, her stepmother wiping her eyes in front of a man without tears, and her sisters were expressionless, she suddenly wanted to laugh.
"Fanfan, you...... You just take it as a good thing, don't do it again, you are like this, how can your father and mother feel at ease? β
Aunt Zhang, who was standing next to her mother, spoke bitterly, and after saying this, she raised her hand to wipe her tears.
Zhu Fandie bit his lower lip, opened his mouth with trembling teeth, and tears flowed uncontrollably down the corners of his eyes.
"Peace of mind, you say? Be...... They are not at ease when I am like this, do they have to kill me...... Are you all at ease?! Why?! Zhu Hua, you can't tolerate me like this, do you want me to die like this?! β
The blind man's words made her a sacrifice, but what made her most sad and angry was her half-sister - Zhu Hua!
She won't forget that it was Zhu Hua who led a group of people to destroy her hiding place, and it was she who led someone to hurt that person!
By the way, what about him?! He was knocked unconscious just now, what's going on now?!
Thinking of that person, Zhu Fan didn't have the heart to care about himself, and looked for it in a panic in the crowd through his blurred vision, and didn't want to raise his eyes, and his body was dragged to the edge of the deep pit that had been dug a long time ago by those men.
Zhu Fan panicked, couldn't care about himself, desperately looked around the crowd, and shouted: "What about him?!" What did you guys do to him?! β
If it weren't for that person, she would have died two years ago, and where would she still be alive now.
"Girl, aren't you still thinking about that kid to save you?" Village Chief Zhu Rong looked at her and asked.
Hearing him talk about that person, Zhu Fan gasped and glared at him, but before she could speak, the old man continued: "Don't count on it, that kid's health is not good, this fuss, I don't know how long he will live, even if he is fine, this time everyone will not just forget it." β
Hearing this, Zhu Fan's heart suddenly cooled, and she shook her head again and again, where could she still take care of herself, she said, "No...... You can't ...... You can't touch him! You ......"
"Can't?" The old man seemed to be angry, and his expression became resentful.
He glared at Zhu Fan and said, "Why can't you?" What do you think you're doing wrong? Enemy of the sky, opposite to the gods, if he hadn't hidden you back then, why would my Zhujia Village become like this?! β
For two years, there have been disasters without harvest, just because of the woman in front of him, poor his grandson died like that!
"That's it!" The old man's words seemed to arouse the anger of the villagers, and their eyes began to become fierce one by one.
"Zhu Fan, you know the rules of our village but still follow that Zhu Arc to do such a unconscionable thing, and now you still have the face to accuse your father, do you still have face?!"
"That's right!" followed by humanity, Heng Mei was cold.
"Sir, they can figure out that that's what they deserve, and you don't want to think about who caused your father and mother to become what they are now, if it weren't for the gods who wanted you, I would have wanted to kill you now!"
"That's right! A few years ago, it was fine, just because you and Zhu Arc, we all ate this meal without a meal, God refused to rain, the drought killed the fields, not to mention, the village was flooded, it's not your fault whose fault it is! β
"Yes, yes, I knew that this girl was such an ungrateful person, she should have been strangled to death when she was born, and it would save the people of our village."
"It's really a broom star, look at her like that, and dare to ask where people are, huh...... Maybe she did something unsightly to that kid when our people were suffering......"
"Shameless...... Shameless ......"
"Whew!"
The voices of the villagers rushed towards Zhu Fan like a tidal wave, and the ears were buzzing, and the accusatory faces and resentful eyes made Zhu Fan's whole heart clench.
"No...... It's not like that......" She bit her lip and bleed, and the blue tendons on her forehead twitched faintly.
"You can't do that...... You can't blame me for your faults, let alone on him, you are not qualified to let me go to the heavens, I don't want to go to the heavens! I don't want it! β
The wind was blowing, and the dead branches on the top of the mountain "gurgle", and with Zhu Fan's almost terrible shout, the crows that came from nowhere, black and oppressive, began to hover above everyone's heads.
"Quackβquackβ"
A cry symbolizing bad luck silenced the villagers who had just gossiped, and even the old men were so frightened by the situation in front of them that they shut up.
Zhu Fan couldn't control so much, she struggled desperately while the men were attracted by the situation in front of her, but she fell to the ground hard because of the wooden frame behind her, and her face suddenly hurt hotly.
"Village Chief, this ...... This ......"
The timid people were so frightened by the black crows above their heads that they could not speak, and turned their fearful gazes to the village chief, and the others followed suit and looked at the old man with panicked expressions.
The old man was also afraid, but seeing that everyone was looking at him, he pursed his lips and tried to calm himself down, and then turned to look at Zhu Fan, who was kneeling and trying to crawl out of the crowd, and his eyes widened.
"What are you doing?! Don't catch her for me and throw her down! β
The men came back to their senses by his roar, and when they saw that the little girl had crawled out of a distance, several people hurriedly ran over to two by two, and the four of them directly lifted Zhu Fan up.
"Let go of me! Let me go! Zhu Fan screamed, and the place where her hands and feet were tied had already been struggled out by her blood.
Those Han Xu were frightened by the crows above their heads, and seeing Zhu Fan's disobedience, someone became angry at the moment, and raised his hand and slapped the muddy little face.
"Smack!"
A crisp slap interrupted Zhu Fan's screaming and knocked out her two teeth.
Uncle Zhou, who did it, took advantage of this and scolded angrily: "Call again!" Call you to kill you little girl again! β
This slap was not light, Zhu Fan only felt that his eyes were black for a while, where was there still the strength to struggle, his vision was blurred, and it was the crow hovering in the sky that was directly opposite.
Buzzing in his ears, Zhu Fan felt that the strength of his body seemed to be losing little by little, and the darkness in front of him was a color that couldn't even shine with the light of those torches.
"Third Uncle ......"
Xu is she was really stunned, at this moment, the appearance of the person who should not appear in front of her was unprecedentedly clear.
And his voice became so close.
He said: "Fan'er is not afraid, I am here, always here to accompany you." β
He said: "The third uncle may not live long, Fan'er doesn't have to wait for me, get out of here." β
He said, "Why didn't Fan'er want to marry me in the first place? But you hate me being so old than you? β
"No...... No......" Zhu Fan shook his head and let the tears flow into his neck, and everything around him seemed to have become nothing.
She looked at the face above her, like a fish in her throat, "I...... I've never hated you...... I just hate to be born at the wrong time......"
It was she who dragged him down.
"Don't you beat this girl up, do you?"
The person standing next to Uncle Zhou muttered to himself as if he had hysteria, and couldn't help but ask with some trepidation.
Uncle Zhou blamed Zhu Fan for being frightened, and after hearing this, he glared at her, and did not answer the man's words, but looked at the village chief and asked, "There's nothing to say, right?" β
The wind never stopped, and the terrifying crows still hovered in the night sky, emitting a mournful roar.
The village chief looked in the direction of Zhu Fan's father, who was also frightened, then glanced at the crows again, and finally waved his hand impatiently, "Hurry up!" β
Several men looked at each other clearly when they heard this, and then carried the man who was no longer struggling to the edge of the pit.
I didn't want to think that at this time, the person who seemed to have hysteria suddenly raised his eyes to look at them, as if he was going to swallow them.
"I wish Fan to swear here, even if you go to the eighteenth layer of hell for the rest of your life, I want you to be buried with you!"
Several men were frightened by her eyes, and immediately let go and threw the person into the deep pit.
His body was slammed to the bottom of the pit, and layers of dirt rushed to his face, but Zhu Fan never closed his eyes, and even hooked his lips.
Seeing that he will never see the light of day again......
"Fan'erβ"
A terrible shout stopped at the movement of the comer, and the crows dispersed, and the wind and waves were calm.
