Chapter Ninety-Nine: Sorrow
When everyone found Xiaoling, she was sitting in front of a hut in the corner of the village, crying. And everyone didn't find a figure along the way, but they didn't see any traces of destruction.
"Don't worry, your mother and sister will be fine."
But even if Yanni comforted Xiao Ling with gentle words, Xiao Ling just shook her head.
Now for Yanni's optimism, Dongfang has clearly discovered something more. Along the way, only the hut in front of him seemed very embarrassed, as if it was watched by many people, and then the people inside were forced out - Dongfang came to this conclusion through observation.
"It's not good, as soon as Xiao Ling heard Wu Jian say that the atmosphere was wrong, it was as if she knew what was going on. I'm afraid."
Dongfang looked at Zhao Qiang, and Zhao Qiang also nodded. Then Zhao Qiang asked Wu Jian, who was belated: "Wu Jian, you should know where the villagers have gone!" ”
"Well, just wait a minute, I'll take Xiaoling over first."
Wu Jian walked to Xiaoling's side, hugged her up, and said, "I'll take you to my mother's side now." ”
At this moment, an old voice came from a distance.
"Xiaoling? Is it Xiaoling? ”
"Grandpa!"
When Xiao Ling heard this voice, she immediately struggled, and Wu Jian had to let go quickly when she saw this. And Xiao Ling stumbled after landing on the ground, walked up to an old man with a rolling belt, hugged the old man's legs and asked over and over again, "What about Mom?" What about my sister? ”
"Xiaoling! Calm down first. ”
It's good that the old man can come out after hearing Xiao Ling's cry, how can he bear Xiao Ling's unstoppable shaking and answer her words? Yanni, who saw this clearly, hurriedly went over to comfort Xiaoling, and then asked the old man politely: "Old man, do you know what happened to Xiaoling's family?" ”
"Alas, Xiaoling's mother has now been "
"That's not right!! Didn't you say you wouldn't do that!? Xiao Ling shouted excitedly.
The old man shook his head and said, "After you disappeared, your mother and sister searched for you all day, but soon your sister also disappeared, and your mother was also arrested by the village chief. Then the priest came out and told everyone that God needed a sacrifice, and then he took Xiaoling's mother as a sacrifice."
"Impossible! God wouldn't ask for such a thing, what's wrong! Yanni said excitedly.
The old man still shook his head: "That's because the priest said it, so everyone believed it." ”
"How could it be?"
Yanni covered her mouth in disbelief, and then Zhao Qiang walked over and said, "Now that the people in the village are gone, maybe it hasn't started yet!" ”
The old man sighed and said, "No, it started three days ago, and the ceremony has been carried out until today. ”
Hearing the old man say this, Xiao Ling was completely stunned, and Ren Yanni couldn't call her back. At this time, there was also a noise outside the village. Xiao Ling, who heard the noise, suddenly reacted, only to see her staggering towards the direction where the sound came from.
And everyone didn't know how to comfort her, so they could only watch her staggering and walking. But Dongfang looked at Wu Jian with a frown, but he couldn't see what Wu Jian was thinking now.
Soon, Xiaoling met the villagers who had returned. Xiaoling just walked over like that, but not for the villagers. As soon as they found Xiaoling, it was as if they had found something dirty, pushing and shouting.
"It's the witch's daughter!"
"Isn't the witch's daughter also a witch?"
"It's disgusting to see this little again!"
"Quick! Catch her and burn her, or we'll do the same next year!! ”
Under the orders of a man dressed as a priest, a few "brave" young people were about to arrest Xiaoling, but would Wu Jian let them do it?
Wu Jian dodged and directly hugged Xiaoling in his arms. As for the "brave" youths, because Wu Jian's appearance was too ingenious, although they were startled, they still stretched out their hands to move forward. But Wu Jian thought they were dirty, and before they could touch them, they had already let out a scream, and then fell to the ground and rolled in pain.
"What, what!?"
For Wu Jian, who suddenly appeared, the people in front were so frightened that they kept retreating, but the people behind couldn't vacate their positions in time. Suddenly it became a piece, the people who fell wanted to pull others to stand up, and the people who were still standing wanted to dodge quickly, so they crowded into a pile to form a situation where you step on me and I step on you, and even some children are also trampled.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Wu Jian sneered and said, "Hmph! It's disgusting! ”
"Mr. Wu Jian"
Yanni looked at Wu Jian, although she couldn't see Wu Jian's eyes, she could feel from his words that Wu Jian no longer regarded them as human beings.
However, Yanni has not forgotten her identity. So she said to Paru, "Lord Brave, can you help me bring him up?" ”
Yanni was referring to the priest, and Palu was naturally happy to help her, but in a rough way.
"You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, what do you want to do!?"
The priest who was thrown directly to the ground by Palu was in pain, but he was not in the mood to cry out in pain, and when he saw so many people staring at him, he was so frightened for a long time that he could speak smoothly.
"Let me ask you, do you know what this is?"
The symbol of the Holy Maiden appeared on Yanni's body, and the priest clearly understood the meaning of the symbol. Although he hesitated for a long time, he still got up and saluted Yanni.
"Her Highness the Holy Maiden"
The trembling voice meant that he knew that the Holy Maiden was going to ask him for his guilt, but he lowered his head and rolled his eyes, desperately considering an excuse to shirk.
"Since you know the Tao, then you are really a priest, why do you want to do this!"
"For, for? Your Highness, I, I don't know what the Tao is."
"Don't lie! Let me ask you, why did you deceive the villagers into using Xiaoling's mother as a sacrifice! ”
"This, this is," said the priest, wiping a handful of sweat, "because of God"
"Nonsense! God wouldn't do that! You must be lying! ”
"Your Highness!"
The priest fell to his knees and wept bitterly, saying, "I really heard the voice of God!" That's what he told me in my dreams! Then when I woke up, the tree in the yard was in full bloom just like in my dream! Your Highness the Holy Maiden, please!! ”
The priest's cry was so loud that the tears on his face were mixed with the dirt, and he looked desolate.
However, he can only deceive the simple Yanni and Palu in this way, and the others don't buy it. Just as Wu Jian sneered and took a step forward, Dongfang saw that Wu Jian was planning to torture to extract a confession, so he grabbed Wu Jian's shoulder to stop him.
"Leave it to me."
Dongfang crossed over Yanni and kicked down.
"Ah~~~~~~~~~h
The priest immediately shouted loudly.
"Mr. Dongfang!"
Yanni wanted to stop Dongfang, but Wu Jian grabbed her shoulder and shook his head and said, "I'll leave it to Dongfang here, if it's really wronged him, I'll bear it." ”
As soon as Wu Jian said this, Yan Ni didn't want to say anything more, just leaned her hand on her chest and looked at Dongfang to ask.
But Dongfang was not such a gentle man, he didn't care about the priest's crying and howling, and walked over and stepped on the priest's calf.
With a click, the priest gave a look of disbelief, followed by a scream that seemed to destroy heaven and earth.
Hum!
Dongfang ignored it, stepped on the other calf again, and then crushed the priest's two arms one by one.
"Don't scream so badly, I'm in control. Zhao Xin! ”
Zhao Xin comprehended and cast a healing spell on the priest, and after the magic dissipated, the priest's screams stopped.
"What, does it still hurt?"
Dongfang's surprisingly gentle voice confused the priest, and it took a long time to grab Dongfang's outstretched hand and stand up, and whispered a word of thanks.
However, Dongfang showed a cruel smile in the next second, and completely crushed the priest's palm with a force on his hand. Then another kick was made, and the priest fell to his knees with the sound of bones cracking. Then Dongfang asked Zhao Xin to treat again, and then repeated.
"Wu Jian"
"Shut up!"
“!”
Yanni originally wanted to stop it several times, but was stopped by Wu Jian, and when she couldn't help but speak, she was blocked back by Wu Jian, and Yanni showed a sad expression for a while.
Dongfang tortured the priest to the point of dying - even if the body was not hindered and the spirit could not bear it, not to mention that Zhao Xin's magic could not be completely cured.
"Even if the saint is present, she will not be able to save you. I don't care if you're true or not, I can only say an answer from your mouth that satisfies me, otherwise"
Dongfang was about to step on it again, and the priest was already exhausted from torture, and when he saw that he could finally speak, he hurriedly shouted loudly.
"I say, I say! That's all because of these untouchables! The priest pointed to the villagers who had already been frightened and said, "Even after Xiaoling's father died, the men fell in love with Ann's beauty, and the women were jealous. has been bullying their mother and daughter, constantly pouring dirty water on them! In recent years, the harvest in this village has not been good, and they have blamed it on them, and I just followed their wishes and comforted them. This proposal was originally told by someone who told me that it was because they hurt them so badly that I would make up this lie, otherwise they would blame me and be used as a sacrifice in exchange! ”
The priest put the blame on the villagers, but how could the villagers be willing? For a while, the shouting and scolding continued, and if it wasn't for Dongfang's cruel behavior before, they would have rushed up long ago.
