Chapter 34: The Truth
After the big snake bit off Ah Yan's head, he lingered in place for a while, and then went to Jiang Yunheng again, opening his big mouth.
"Ah......" Qiu Wenwen let out another scream and buried her face in Jiang Yun's shoulder socket.
However, the big snake didn't bite down, and after a circle around Jiang Yunheng and Qiu Wenwen, it crawled towards Azhou.
"Ah Zhou!"
Xiao Zhen, who sensed that something was wrong, ran desperately towards Ah Zhou, but it was too late, and when she arrived, the big snake had already dragged Ah Zhou into the grass and walked away.
"Ah Chau ......"
Jane shouted heartbreakingly in the direction where the snake had disappeared, and chased after her with a scythe.
Qiu Wenwen came out of Jiang Yunheng's shoulder socket, and now she has no master, crying and asking, "Yunheng, what should we do?" ”
Jiang Yunheng struggled to get up from the ground. "Let's go after Jane."
Qiu Wenwen shook her head desperately. "Great snake, cannibalism."
Jiang Yun hugged Qiu Wenwen and patted her on the back. "Those Miao people under the mountain, aren't they more terrible than the big snake?"
Qiu Wenwen bit her lip. "Let's go after Jane."
Xiao Zhen chased the big snake all the way up the mountain, and she didn't remember how far she had run, until she was almost at the top of the mountain, and completely lost the trace of the big snake and Ah Zhou.
"Ah Zhou......" Xiao Zhen sat on the ground, and the cry resounded throughout the mountain range.
Jiang Yunheng and Qiu Wenwen caught up, and Jiang Yunheng asked Xiaozhen. "...... he?"
Xiao Zhen's eyes were hollow, and she didn't know whether to say to herself or answer Jiang Yunheng. "It's gone!"
Qiu Wenwen squatted down and hugged Xiao Zhen, full of helplessness. "What the hell are we going to do?"
Jiang Yunheng also squatted down and hugged the two girls in his arms. "Don't cry, there's always a way."
Qiu Wenwen said with a cry: "At this time, what else can be done." ”
Jiang Yunheng let go of the two and stood up, and began to look around by the moonlight. "Look, there's a cave there."
Qiu Wenwen propped up her head and looked in the direction Jiang Yunheng was pointing. "Could there be some monsters hidden in the caves here?"
"This ......" Jiang Yun put his hand on his head and scratched, he couldn't say for sure.
"Jane!"
Before the two of them could react, Xiao Zhen had already gone straight to the cave and burrowed into the cave.
Qiu Wenwen looked at Jiang Yunheng. "Yunheng?"
Jiang Yunheng hesitated and helped Qiu Wenwen up from the ground. "We'll go too."
The two chased them outside the cave, and Jiang Yunheng called Xiao Zhen's name inside the cave, but didn't hear any response.
Qiu Wenwen asked Jiang Yunheng. "What should I do?"
"Wenwen, stand still, I'll go over and take a look." After Jiang Yunheng instructed Qiu Wenwen, he slowly touched the entrance of the cave and looked inside, because it was backlight, he could only see pitch black. called Xiao Zhen's name again, but there was still no response, after hesitating, he touched the hole, but he didn't expect to step on the air and fall straight down.
"Ahh
"Yunheng!"
"Ouch, he......" Jiang Yun, who fell on the ground, covered his butt and snorted in pain on the ground, finally relieved the pain, and found that a black shadow was approaching him from top to bottom, the speed was so fast that it was too late to hide, and the result was that he rolled on the ground for a while.
Qiu Wenwen, who was pressing on Jiang Yunheng's body, hurriedly moved away. "Yunheng, I ......"
"It's fine!" Jiang Yun waved his hand sideways and got up. "Wenwen, why did you jump off?"
"I heard your scream, I thought I had encountered something, so I followed in a hurry, but I didn't expect this to be a pit."
Jiang Yun rubbed his still sore buttocks. "I thought it was flat, but I ended up stepping on it."
Qiu Wenwen asked Jiang Yunheng: "What about Miss Xiaozhen?" ”
"Jane? Xiao Zhen Xiao Zhen ...... "Jiang Yun looked into the depths of the cave, and there seemed to be a little light at the end of the pitch. "Let's go in and have a look."
Qiu Wenwen was scared. "Will there be ...... in there?"
Jiang Yunheng took Qiu Wenwen's hand. "You follow me, I'll go ahead."
Qiu Wenwen nodded, and followed Jiang Yunheng step by step, and the more she walked, the more she felt that something was wrong. "Yun Heng, do you feel that it is getting colder and colder?"
"Cold?" Don't say that I don't feel it, but when I say it, Jiang Yunheng also feels cold on his body. "Probably because it's the top of the mountain, there's a mountain wind."
Qiu Wenwen nodded, agreeing with him.
The two of them continued to walk towards the light, but it was very strange that no matter how they walked, the light was always in front of them, and they could not walk there.
"The light, that's weird."
In such a scene, Jiang Yunheng also felt a pang in his heart, and clenched Qiu Wenwen's hand. "Don't be afraid."
"Hmm!" Qiu Wenwen also clenched Jiang Yunheng's hand back, and suddenly heard a "click" sound under her feet, and looked at the ground through the faint moonlight at the entrance of the cave, startled. "Skeletons."
"What?" Because the two of them held hands together, Jiang Yunheng was dragged aside by Qiu Wenwen, bent down to look at the place where Qiu Wenwen stepped on just now, and took a step back in fright.
Qiu Wenwen clung to Jiang Yunheng and cried again. "Yunheng."
Jiang Yun hugged Qiu Wenwen horizontally. "Don't be afraid."
"Why are there so many skeletons?"
Jiang Yunheng's chest rose and fell. "Let's go quickly, and when we find Jane, we'll go out."
Qiu Wenwen swallowed her saliva, carefully bypassing those skeletons and continuing to follow Jiang Yunheng. "Where the hell did Jane go?"
"I'm here." Jane's hoarse voice came from the corner.
"Jane!" Jiang Yunheng pulled Qiu Wenwen to Xiao Zhen, and found that she was sitting on the ground with a person in her arms. "What is this?"
"Ah Zhou!"
Jiang Yunheng slowly squatted down. "He ......"
"Dead."
"Yes...... The big snake? ”
Jane took a deep breath. "Since I was a child, my Abba and Aunt have told me that our gods live on this mountain, and our messengers, and as long as we respect them, they will bless us and keep us safe for generations."
Jiang Yunheng and Qiu Wenwen both squatted quietly in front of Xiao Zhen and listened to Xiao Zhen.
"When I was 10 years old, my grandfather came to my house and told my father that he was chosen by God and asked him to serve as a servant to God."
Jiang Yunheng couldn't help but ask: "The grandfather you are talking about is the old man who was being supported?" ”
"Yes, he is my grandfather, the most respected person in our village, and he used to be the person I respected the most." Jane wiped her nose. "But that was only once, until today I don't know, what gods, what gods, all are deceitful nonsense, man-eating monsters."
Xiao Zhen was out of control as she spoke, Qiu Wenwen hugged her, comforted her for a long time before she calmed down and continued to talk about her father. "My Abba is glad to know that he has been chosen as God's attendant, and all the people in the village are happy, except for my aunt."
"Abba was hugged by the people in the village and sent up the mountain and never went back, and Grandma loved Abba so much that she waited at the door every day, hoping to wait for Abba to come back."
"But a year has passed, and Abba has not returned, and Grandma really misses him, so she went to the mountains to find him."
"But they didn't let Grandma go up the mountain to find Abba, saying that it was the realm of the gods, and mortals could not easily step into it, otherwise it would bring disaster to the people in the village."
"My grandma believed it, but she really missed Abba, so she went to ask grandpa and begged him to find a way to let her see Abba."
"He agreed, and it didn't take long for him to come and tell my grandma that it was okay to see my father, but there was a price."
Qiu Wenwen asked in a low voice, "What price?" ”
"The realm of the gods, mortals really can't easily set foot in it, but if my grandma can also become a god's attendant, won't she be able to stay with my abba for a long time!"
"My aunt believed it, listened to his arrangement, and kowtowed step by step to the mountain." Jane raised her head and let tears slide down the corners of her eyes. "I never went back."
"Jane!" Qiu Wenwen put her forehead on Xiao Zhen's forehead, and Xiao Zhen looked in all directions.
"You say, which pile of bones here will be my Abba and Aunt?"
"Don't talk about Jane." Qiu Wenwen hugged Xiao Zhen tightly. "Don't say it."
Xiao Zhen pushed Qiu Wenwen away and stroked the tips of Ah Zhou's hair with her hand. "Do you want to know the story of me and Ah Chau?"
Jiang Yun opened and closed his mouth and paused for a moment before asking, "Wenwen and I, why did we become the sacrifices of the gods?" ”
Jane continued to stroke the ends of Ah Chau's hair. "Ah Zhou's original name was Lu Yanzhou, and he was also a foreigner, and the reason why you became a sacrifice to the gods was because your arrival just replaced the position that the people in the village originally wanted to give him."
Qiu Wenwen let go of Xiao Zhen and looked at her in disbelief. "Little Jane, you ......"
"Huh! Not convinced? "At this time, Xiao Zhen didn't have the heart to hide it, and said everything that should be said and what should not be said." From the very beginning, I saved you so that you could replace Ah Zhou, including Master Ah Yu to treat you, and I took Yun Heng to the temple, just to prove to God that you have voluntarily become God's sacrifices. ”
Jiang Yunheng looked at Xiao Zhen with a complicated expression, and didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at this time.
"Think I'm shameless, right?" Jane laughed miserably. "I don't want to harm you, but for the sake of Ah Zhou, I can't help it, but I didn't expect that it was a scam from the beginning, and they didn't intend to let any of you go at all."
Jiang Yun opened his mouth to say something more, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, at this time, there was no point in asking more. Hearing a "sizzling" sound from the depths of the cave, he hurriedly pulled Qiu Wenwen behind him. "It's the snake."
Qiu Wenwen hid behind Jiang Yunheng and shivered. "What should I do?"
"Let's go." Jiang Yun ran away with Qiu Wenwen in his arms, and found that Xiao Zhen was still sitting there, so he quickly freed up a hand to pull her. "Let's go!"
Jane withdrew her hand. "Let's go!"
"What do you want to do?"
Xiao Zhen slowly stood up after putting down Lu Yanzhou and took out the sickle. "Abba and Mommy are gone, and now Ah Zhou is gone, what's the point of living for me?"
Jiang Yunheng tried to pull Xiaozhen again. "Don't do anything stupid."
"Leave me alone, let's go!" Xiao Zhen yelled and pushed Jiang Yunheng at the same time. "Let's go!"
The "sizzling" sound of the big snake was getting closer and closer, and Qiu Wenwen was already frightened and began to sobble again. "Yunheng, it's coming."
Jiang Yunheng put his arms around Qiu Wenwen with one hand, wanting to catch Xiaozhen but couldn't catch it, but finally his heart was crossed, and he hugged Qiu Wenwen and began to run towards the entrance of the cave. But when I got to the entrance of the cave, I found that it was two or three meters high from the top, and I couldn't go up at all.
"What should I do?"
Jiang Yunheng forced himself to calm down, looked left and right, and found that there was still a road next to him. "Let's get here."
"Ah......h
"It's Jane." Qiu Wenwen said with a crying voice.
"Let's go." Jiang Yunheng only cared about running with Qiu Wenwen in his arms, at this time, it was difficult to protect himself, and he couldn't care about Xiao Zhen, who was bent on death.
"Sizzle!"
The two of them were already running desperately, but they didn't think that the snake still chased after them, and the voice of the spit appeared behind again.
"What to do Yunheng, it's here again."
Jiang Yunheng held his breath and didn't dare to stop. "Don't look backwards."
Qiu Wenwen panted and waved her hands. "But I can't run, I really can't run."
Jiang Yun hugged Qiu Wenwen tightly and didn't let her fall. "Wenwen, you can't stop, if you stop, you'll die."
Qiu Wenwen cried: "But it's not a way for us to run like this, where can we run past it." ”
Jiang Yunheng looked ahead, and a little bit of light could also be seen. "There's light ahead, so let's run faster, maybe we can get out."
Qiu Wenwen looked forward, gritted her teeth and continued to walk forward, but her legs were like a thousand pounds, and every step was extremely difficult. "Yunheng, you can go by yourself, I really can't walk."
"Don't say stupid things." After Jiang Yunheng finished speaking, he was about to carry Qiu Wenwen on his back, but just when he wanted to carry the person on his body, his legs were actually weak, and he staggered and almost hit the stone wall.
