There is a devil living in everyone's heart, and when this devil opens his eyes, love and family affection seem so thin in front of interests and **.

The old woman chose to sacrifice her daughter in order to keep her position in her husband's heart, her position in her husband's family, and the baby boy in her womb.

The husband of the old woman chose to sacrifice his daughter, in large part because of his wealth.

As for people like Hu Da, there is probably no sacrifice in his heart, only happy or unhappy, and his logic is very simple. That is, if you don't cherish you, you will be ugly, and you will let you die without a place to be buried. In short, a woman who can't be obtained by the master is not expected to be available to others.

figured out the matter of the hair monster, and the doubts that were left in Xing Ruyi's heart were finally revealed. She asked Ah Niu to carry some water and took the old woman to the Niangniang Temple.

Niangniang Temple is in a col not far from Ah Niu's house. This col is different from other places, all the vegetation in the col is a blue-black color, and even the soil on the ground is black, scorched earth.

"How is it that the trees and soil here are different from other places?"

"It was the same, but then it slowly became different." Ah Niu answered, but did not finish, but quietly squinted at the old woman.

"Probably because my daughter died too miserably and was too angry, so the grass and trees around here are also so half-dead." The old woman sighed lightly: "I didn't say these words myself, but those people outside. Many of those people were local villagers who were also involved in the incident. They were scared and worried that my daughter would turn into a ghost and go to them. But after so many years, except for the grass and trees here turning black day by day, except for the destruction of my family, they are all alive and well. My eldest daughter has a good heart, and since she was a child, she never cares about no matter how much she is wronged...... I just listened to Madame's words, and I realized that the reason why those people are living well is not because of my daughter's generosity, but because my daughter is sealed in the mud and can't get out at all! ”

"Don't worry, your daughter will be free!" Xing Ruyi didn't know how to pick up the old woman's words, so he only patted her lightly, let Ah Niu take care of her, and took Li Mao into the broken temple.

The ruined temple still maintained the appearance of the little beggar after he came, and the lady stood quietly on the altar with a hint of weirdness in her demeanor, her outer shirt was gone, leaving only a half-taken underwear. Xing Ruyi sighed lightly, let Li Mao turn his back, climbed onto the altar by himself, and carefully tidied up the clothes.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

"Girl, can you hear me?"

"Since I have come to you, I can certainly hear you."

Xing Ruyi took a step back, looked up and down, left and right, and saw that the clothes had been arranged properly and there were no omissions, so he jumped off the altar.

"You...... Why are you coming to me? ”

"Originally, it was for a hapless little beggar, but later it was because I heard a story, a story about you."

"My story? What story can I have. ”

As the words fell, a girl who looked exactly like a clay sculpture appeared in the dark corner of the temple. Her eyebrows were slightly bitter, but the corners of her mouth were faintly smiling, and the wind blew through her clothes, blowing the wide sleeves. Looking at the past from Xing Ruyi's perspective, this lady really looks as if she has just come down from the Nine Heavens.

"My name is Xing Ruyi, can you tell me your name? You don't want me to call you a like those people, do you? ”

"I'm not a mother, I'm just a clay sculpture sealed here. My name is Ah Bi, this is the name my mother gave me, and I also have a younger sister named Ah Zhu. My mother always said that we are one green and one red, competing for beauty. ”

"Since you are a sister, it stands to reason that you should be called Azhu. Red-green-red-green, isn't there red to be green?"

Abi smiled: "I also asked my mother when I was a child. She said that my sister and I were born one after the other, and that after I was born, I only cried and waited quietly. My sister is different, she was quiet first, and then she kept crying, if it weren't for my father's and my mother's temper at that time, she would have thrown her troublesome sister out.

I know that if you throw it out, your father and mother are just talking. After all, it is his own flesh and blood, and he is willing to lose it. Later, my father and mother named our sisters, because they were all girls' families, so in order to make it easier to remember, they chose the words Zhu and Bi. Originally, I was supposed to be called Azhu, but my father said that I was quiet, poured into the green leaves, and my sister was noisy, like a beautiful flower, and refused to settle down for a moment, so the name was decided. My name is Abi and her name is Azhu. ”

"You sisters have a good relationship?"

"Hmm!" Abi nodded lightly: "Although I don't look like her, we are the same mother, and we have grown up together since childhood." When I was a child, she always protected me. ”

"Then why didn't she save you?" Xing Ruyi asked softly.

Abi was silent for a while before she said, "How can she save me?" At that time, it was a blessing that she could leave safely, if she didn't leave, I am afraid that there would be two mothers in this temple now. ”

"What really happened in the village? Natural disasters, we can't predict, but they can always be prevented. Did anything happen during the time you were in foster care? If it was just a natural disaster, the villagers would not have viciously wanted to sacrifice your sisters together. ”

Ah Bi smiled bitterly, looked up at Xing Ruyi and asked, "It's pretty good-looking, is this a sin?" ”

Xing Ruyi understood.

"Someone in the village wants to mistreat your sisters?"

"It's the family we're fostering. There is a saying in the countryside that the mountain is high and the Yellow Emperor is far away. Especially in such a remote place, the head of a village, like the emperor of the soil, has a supreme position in the eyes of the villagers. My father and mother felt sorry for us, and our family had some distant relatives with the village chief's family, so they sent us here. But who knows, the village chief's father and son actually had a different kind of mind for us, and my sister and I struggled in all kinds of fright, and in desperation, we actually hurt the village chief's son.

The village chief was angry in his heart, and wanted to use this to blackmail our sisters, and we swore to die, which led to the rest of the matter. Natural disasters are indeed unpredictable, but the human mind is much more terrifying than natural disasters. With the words of the village chief, my sister and I became the leaders of this natural disaster, and my father and my mother did not know what evil they had fallen into, but they also believed these ridiculous statements. ”

"Then do you resent your father? If they had said a word, you and your sister might not be what we are now. ”

"There are times when people's hearts are fascinated by ghosts, and besides, that natural disaster has consumed most people's energy and patience, and it has caused fear in their hearts. If there is no resentment at all, it is false, but after so much time, I gradually figured out that all this may be my life. By the way, among those people, there were also many people who came to see me, and they probably didn't mean to harm me at the time, but they were too scared and had no choice but to do so. ”

"You are really a kind girl as A-Niang said."

"Auntie?"

"It's your mother, she's outside, do you want to see her?"

Abi nodded: "I haven't seen my mother for a long time." In the first years, she used to come to see me, sometimes by one person, sometimes by two. I know that she adopted a righteous son, nicknamed Niu Niu, who is also an honest and kind child. He was very good to my mother and very filial. ”

"Your mother's eyes are blind and her legs and feet are inconvenient, so it's not that she doesn't come, it's not that she doesn't want to come, but she can't come."

"My mother's eyes ......" Abi looked out eagerly, and hurried to the door of the temple, and was stabbed back by the sunlight outside. I...... I can't get out...... There is no way for me to leave this temple. ”

"You don't have to go out, I'll call your mother in." Xing Ruyi gave Li Mao a look: "By the way, how did you leave that clay sculpture?"

Abi shook her head blankly: "I don't know, it was probably one night a few days ago, I suddenly felt a little irritable, followed by a terrible headache, so I opened my eyes to see what was going on." The night was dark and windy, and I could only see the familiar sights in the temple, but my heart was uneasy, as if something was about to happen.

If the girl can see me, she should know that I am not a human being, but a ghost. Supposedly, I shouldn't have had those people's emotions, people's feelings. But that night, I could clearly feel the fear and panic that belonged to people, and I could even feel the coldness and thinness of the air around me. Just when I was fidgeting like there were thousands of ants crawling on my body, I heard something sound again, and I was hit the top of my head. By the time I came back to my senses, I was standing in that corner. I don't know what happened, I don't know how I got out, I just know that my range of activities is very small, and the small ones can only be in this temple. ”

While Abi spoke, Xing Ruyi climbed onto the altar again. This time, she didn't look at Abi's clothes, but at the top of her head. Because Abi is a living clay fetus, his body size is exactly the same as when he was alive. In terms of height, he is shorter than Xing Ruyi. At this time, Xing Ruyi stood in front of the clay sculpture, only slightly tiptoeing, and saw the situation above Abi's head.

On Abi's head, a hole was broken, and the hole was so deep that it not only smashed through the mud, but also smashed the Heavenly Spirit Cover of Abi's body. In that hole, Xing Ruyi found an embroidered iron nail. This iron nail is not the kind commonly used by carpenters when making roof beams, but a coffin nail with dark lines written on it. It was precisely because of this nail that Abi's soul broke free from the shackles of the clay sculpture and escaped.

That late night, Abi's strange feeling was not for nothing.

It is said that there is a special magnetic field and induction between the twins. Those fears and panics should have been the emotions generated by Azhu's murder, and they were transmitted to Abi in a special way in the middle of the night. As for the murdered Zhu, it should be Ah Bi's sister, that is, the old woman's other daughter!

What happened to Zhu in the middle of the night?
