Chapter 1: The Youkai is Coming
"Murphy, get on your knees!"
In the depths of the rolling and majestic Natian Mountain Range, in the spacious room of an ordinary mountain village courtyard, a woman held a wicker with the thickness of her thumb and said to a teenage boy in front of her. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Around the woman and the child, there were a dozen old men with gray hair and beards, all with angry faces, and dozens of villagers standing outside the door of the room behind them.
"No, why should I kneel, I haven't done anything wrong. The boy Mo Fei said stubbornly with his neck strained.
"Have you eaten all the food that has just been laid out on the altar table in this ancestral hall?" said an old man, pointing to the few sacrifices left on the table.
"Yes, since it's food, what's wrong with me eating it?"
"It was for our ancestors to eat. Even if it is eaten, it must be distributed to everyone by the patriarch after the sacrifice ceremony is completed. ”
"Will the ancestors eat it? The ancestors will not eat it, but their descendants and children should be happy. I don't think there's any difference between eating now and eating for a while!"
"You...... Then you scribble on the ancestral tablet, that is a great disrespect to the ancestors, this can't be said that you are doing the right thing, right?"
"That's because I see that people often bow down and worship them, treat them with respect, and leave them the best food in the village, and come here to show what things are big and small, and hope that they will bless everyone with safety. They looked like they were amazing, and I wanted to try them out and see how good they really were.
"I was disappointed that they were just ordinary planks, and I drew my wishes on them, and they didn't come true for me. It doesn't make sense for everyone to bow down to them like this. When there is calamity, they will not be able to bless us with peace, we can only rely on ourselves. ”
"Bastard, Murphy, you...... You bastard boy, it's a big rebellion, even if you are still a child and not an adult, I will use the clan rules today to govern ...... Cure your sins. The old man, who was sitting on the first chair on the left side of the ancestral hall, listened to the boy's answer, and was so angry that he was a little out of breath when he spoke.
"The patriarch is angry, there is no need to use the clan rules, he is still young, everything is my fault, I will definitely let him admit his mistake and apologize to everyone, and restore the neatness of the ancestral tablet. Seeing that the patriarch was angry, the woman immediately pleaded with the patriarch and said.
"If this son refuses to admit his mistake, I will serve him, break his legs, and fetch the scepter of my patriarch. The old man roared.
Syllable!
Seeing this, the woman immediately waved the wicker in her hand and slapped it heavily on the boy's buttocks, with tears in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Mo Fei, immediately kneel down and admit your mistake." ”
The boy was beaten by his mother, and although he felt a burning pain in his buttocks, he gritted his teeth and did not exhale the pain, and he yelled at the old people and the villagers: "You people, you are really stupid, what is wrong with me eating some food and writing and drawing on wooden boards? Don't hope that these wooden boards will bless you, if you want to keep yourself safe, you have to learn the ability to keep yourself safe, not just kowtow a few heads and take care of things." When I grow up and have the ability to do it, you can ask me for delicious food, and I will definitely respond to my requests. ”
After speaking, Mo Feiluo jumped onto the offering table, and then quickly climbed onto the ancestral tablet shelf, and after knocking down several ancestral tablets one after another, he climbed out of a window in the ancestral hall.
"Evil obstacles, really evil obstacles, dare to be disrespectful to their ancestors. Catch him, don't let him run away, today I must break his legs and let him know what the rules are. The patriarch pointed to Murphy's departing figure and roared angrily.
When the young descendants of several villages heard the patriarch's order, they immediately chased in the direction where Mo Fei had fled.
"This kid is so unreasonable, he beat my son to tears yesterday!" said a village woman outside the ancestral hall.
"Yes, he still robbed my son of mangosteen to eat, and what did he say'The law of heaven eats the law of the jungle', it's really unusual. ”
"I saw him pee in our well that day! He was going to make the whole village drink his pee!"
"He also smashed my water tank!"
"He also stole watermelons from my field to eat, such a little guy actually ate three or four of my big watermelons in one go. ”
......
Listening to everyone gossiping about all kinds of bad things that her son had done, the woman was afraid that the patriarch would be even more angry, so she immediately knelt down in front of the patriarch and said with tears streaming down her face: "Patriarch, blame me for not being strict with discipline. You just spare Mo Fei this time, he is still a child, but he is just greedy and playful. ”
At this moment, there was a sudden rush of gongs in the village, and then I heard a person shouting in panic: "Oh no, the monster is coming, everyone run to the cave!"
Hearing the sound of gongs and shouts, everyone didn't care about Mo Fei's mistakes, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards a stone cave on the west hill outside the village. The old men and patriarchs in the ancestral hall were no exception, and although they were not young, they were not much slower to escape than the young ones. The huge ancestral hall immediately became empty, except for the food on the offering table, plates, and a pile of ancestral tablets that Mo Fei had eaten so badly......
After Mo Fei's mother heard that "the monster is coming", her face changed greatly, and she thought: My son has just escaped, what if he encounters a monster?
Thinking of this, Mo Fei's mother immediately rushed out of the ancestral hall and ran against the flow of people to the east of the village, shouting anxiously as she ran: "Mo Fei, Mo Fei, come back quickly, the monster is coming." ”
......
Mo Fei was hiding in a big tree in the village at this time, he also heard the sound of gongs and the warning sound of "the monster is coming", and when he saw the chaos in the village, the people ran in panic, and the few descendants who chased him also turned their heads and ran towards the mountain west of the village.
Mo Fei was very curious, and said in his heart: "The monster is quite majestic, and my mother often says to herself, 'If you don't obey, you will be eaten by the monster', is the monster here to eat me? I have grown so big but I haven't seen the monster once, I want to see what the monster looks like? Can it find me and eat me.
Thinking like this in his heart, Mo Fei did not have the slightest fear, but excitedly got down from the tree and secretly walked towards the east of the village against the direction of the flow of people.
......
"Murphy, Murphy!"
Murphy's mother was still anxiously screaming against the flow of people, and she had already walked to the back of the crowd.
A middle-aged man with an iron shovel who was in charge of breaking the back heard her shout, ran to her and said, "Ruyun, why are you going this way?
"Qingshan, I just saw Fei'er running this way, I can't find him. Seeing her husband, Murphy's mother's tears immediately welled up.
"You go first, I'll go to him, you can wait for us in the cave. Aoyama said decisively and pushed his wife to the rear.
......
A thick black cloud on the horizon quickly drifted towards the village, and in the village, there were already many jackals, tigers, leopards and other wild beasts that began to attack the village, trying to break through the blockade formed by young and middle-aged men in the village.
