Except for Zhen and Lin Guihao, they searched outside but didn't find Feng Ruanruan, and as soon as they returned to the house, they saw Xia Ling'er walking anxiously back and forth in the courtyard alone.

Hearing the movement, Xia Ling'er turned her head to look over, and when she saw them coming back, she hurriedly greeted them.

"You guys are finally back, I dreamed again just now, I dreamed that Ruan Ruan was lying in a coffin!"

Xia Ling'er carefully said the picture she had just dreamed about, because she was worried, she said something that didn't match the preface, but except for a few people, she could understand it.

This dream is not a good sign, they want to find Feng Ruan Ruan as soon as possible, but after all, there are no clues now.

It was getting brighter, and I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, except for Zhen and Lin Guihao, who were a little sleepy, so they went back to their rooms to rest for a while, until they fell asleep, Qian Dasheng hadn't come back yet, and he didn't know where he went.

Not long after he fell asleep, Except Zhen heard a noise outside, and as soon as he walked out of the room, he bumped into Lin Guihao and Xia Ling'er, who also came out of the room.

"What's going on out there? Why is it so noisy? The two shook their heads, and the three of them went out and walked in the direction from which the voice came.

And they saw a man tied to a pillar in a clearing not far from their house, and a pile of firewood was piled at his feet.

There was a circle of people around him, each holding a torch in his hand, looking fierce.

That man is not someone else, it is Qian Dasheng, who has been missing for a long time.

Qian Dasheng's tears fell at this moment, crying and begging for mercy with a sad face, "Please, let me go, I'm just confused for a while." ”

He glanced at them, just caught a glimpse of them, and quickly shouted, "You guys are here, save me, they want to burn me!" ”

The villagers all turned their heads to look at them, looking unkind.

Except for Zhen to step forward and ask what was going on, a man stood up among the villagers.

It was a young man in his early twenties, covered in tendons and flesh, and he looked very fierce.

He snorted and said, "What's wrong?" This is your friend, right? He just snuck into the ancestral hall of our village and wanted to steal the statue of the god of Sandalwood Mountain enshrined in it, and now we are going to burn him to prevent the mountain god from blaming him! ”

"Burn him! Burn him! The villagers behind him shouted with torches in their hands.

Except for the truth, he glanced at Qian Dasheng, and he didn't expect him to be so bold.

They knew about an ancestral hall in the village, and they had seen it when they had explored it before, but the gate of the ancestral hall was closed all day long, not to mention that a place like the ancestral hall could not be entered casually, and they only sneaked in at night to take a look.

Under the two rows of jumping candles, you can see a wooden statue in the center of the ancestral hall.

The figure on the wooden statue sits upright, with his eyes closed, with a kind smile on the corner of his mouth, and a lotus throne sits underneath, which looks like a Buddha statue if you ignore the hollow eyeless human head on each lotus petal.

But those human heads made this wooden statue more and more weird, not like a mountain god, but like an evil god enshrined here.

The wooden statue is creepy to look at, I really don't know what Qian Dasheng thinks, is it just because it is carved from sandalwood?

Qian Dasheng was weak-hearted, but he was also afraid that they would abandon him, and tears and snot came out of his face, "You save me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die......"

He never thought that the people in this village were so bold, he just wanted to steal a sandalwood statue, and they really dared to kill!

In addition to being really angry, I can't wait to throw this guy who has more than enough success and more than failure here, so that he can learn a good lesson, but in the end, it is his companion, she can't really throw away Qian Dasheng, and she has to clean up the aftermath for him.

She took a deep breath, walked up to the young man, and said sincerely: "This matter is indeed what he did wrong, but after all, it is also a human life, can you let him go?" ”

"He is not only a matter of stealing things now, but also blaspheming the gods, if the mountain god knows about it, let alone him, even we will be punished together, he must die today!"

The young man said, the torch in his hand was about to be put on the firewood, Lin Guiyao grabbed his wrist, the young man couldn't move, and his face turned red with anger, "Let go!" ”

"We'll take him out of the village so we can let him go?" Lin Guihao said.

The young man hesitated for a moment and looked at the villagers around him, some of whom began to hesitate, but some of them resolutely refused.

"He blasphemes the gods and must be put to death!"

"The village has always relied on the blessing of the mountain god to be safe, how can it be easy to spare this guy who wants to steal the god statue?"

"Burn him, you must burn him!"

"You old immortals, shut your foul mouths for me! I can't live for two days, so I want to take my life together, you want to be ashamed! ”

Qian Dasheng saw that the young man hesitated, and finally heard the words of this group of old women with a little hope, and couldn't help but scold.

But it was this sentence that made the opposition among the villagers even louder.

Except for Zhen, he hurriedly took two steps forward, covered Qian Dasheng's mouth, and said hatefully: "You want to die, so we don't have to save you!" ”

Qian Dasheng closed his mouth at this time, but he still glared at the villagers in the audience fiercely.

Things are frozen here, and the villagers want to burn Qian Dasheng to death, but the young man's hand is held by Lin Guihao and he can't move.

It's not that no one else wants to do it, but Qian Dasheng was surrounded by Zhen Zhen and Xia Ling'er, and they didn't have a chance to do it.

"Ahem." While they were at a stalemate, there was a sudden coughing sound, and the crowd made way for the village chief to walk out of it.

When the young man saw the village chief coming, his hand was relieved, and Lin Guiyao let go and looked at the village chief.

"I've heard, this is the one who wants to steal the statue of the mountain god in our village?"

Lin Guiyao repeated what he had just said, "We can leave the village. ”

I thought that the village chief would also object, but I didn't expect the village chief to be easy to speak, "That's good, we don't want to kill people, since you are willing to leave the village, then according to what you said, leave this afternoon." ”

There were still dissatisfied voices among the villagers, but they were all stopped by the village chief, except for the fact that they were afraid that the villagers would regret it, they quickly put Qian Dasheng down and took him back to the residence.

Lin Guihao saw that Qian Dasheng's eyes were still full of unwillingness, and he glanced back at the direction of the ancestral hall, frowned, and reminded in a low voice, "There will be no next time!" ”
