"Husband, let's get out of here first." I can fight ghosts, but every time I face a human, I can't help but want to run away, because killing evil spirits is not a crime, but killing evil people is different.

Gu Qihan thought for a while, and suddenly showed a deep smile, "It's okay, then let's go." ”

Yu Xiaorou hugged the warm quilt and instinctively wanted to stay here, but seeing that we both decided to leave, she had no choice but to agree.

Ah Xiang urged us to hurry up and follow her, so we followed her with our bags.

Before going out, Gu Qihan grabbed my arm and whispered in my ear, "It's not clear whether this Ah Xiang is a friend or foe, don't trust her too much." In addition to the cartilage, there were other scents of medicinal powder on her body. ”

I looked at the two strong men who were limp on the ground, and could only use their eyes to glare at us, and nodded vigilantly.

As soon as we went out, the cold wind blew in our faces, and we found that many red lanterns had been lit up in the village, and there was faintly the sound of blowing and beating music in the distance, as if we were going to do something happy.

Ah Xiang led the way ahead, avoiding many patrolling villagers. The village was quiet, except for the melodious music in the distance, not even the barking of dogs could be heard.

I asked Ah Xiang curiously, "Don't you like to raise poultry and livestock in your village?" ”

Ah Xiang's eyes dimmed for a moment, and she said to me slowly, "No, even if there is, it's just her food." Even we, for generations, have been targeted by her since birth, and none of them can run away. ”

"Who is she?"

"Don't ask, let's go quickly."

She kept silent and led us along.

At the intersection of the country road, there are occasionally a few red lines tied to bells, which are easy to ignore if you don't pay attention. These red threads and bells are very elaborate, and they don't move when the mountain wind blows, but I think that once a few of us touch the red thread or the bell, it will make a very loud sound.

Seeing me staring at those red red line bells, Gu Qihan whispered in my ear, "These red lines and bells have charms engraved on them. ”

I was secretly surprised, I didn't expect that a seemingly ordinary village would hide a master, I don't know if that master is the "she" in Ah Xiang's mouth.

"Watch your step." Ah Xiang suddenly turned her head sideways and snorted, but it was too late, and the corner of Yu Xiaorou's clothes had already swept a red line.

The crisp sound of "jingle bells" dispersed in all directions, echoing in the cold air of the countryside. Almost at the same time, a chaotic stream of footsteps sounded behind us.

Ah Xiang suddenly changed color, walked behind us, and urged in a low voice, "Run!" I'll break it off! ”

Wang Gui appeared behind with a gloomy face, holding a torch and leading a group of villagers with bright and dangling short knives to chase after him. We hurriedly turned around and continued to run, Yu Xiaorou ran slower and slower, tripped under her feet and fell to the ground, she was so anxious that she shouted, "Brother Qi Han, help me!" ”

Gu Qihan's eyes flashed, let go of my hand, in order to hide people's eyes, he did not use teleportation, but rushed to Yu Xiaorou's side, pulled her up, and quickly rushed back to me.

It was this little episode that made our pace stop for a few seconds, the chasing soldiers led by Wang Gui and us were getting closer and closer, Ah Xiang took out a packet of medicinal powder from his arms and sprinkled it back, and the wind blew the medicinal powder towards Village Chief Wang and them.

"My eyes hurt so much!" The villagers all covered their eyes and howled, and Village Chief Wang wiped his eyes with his sleeve a few times and looked bloodshot in the direction of our escape.

"Hurry up, the powder won't last long." Ah Xiang couldn't stop looking behind and saw that Village Chief Wang and his party were finally left behind, and the entrance of the village was not far ahead.

The narrow entrance of the village resembles a mouth with large fangs, and the quaint lines on the stone walls on the outskirts of the village seem to be emitting a faint light.

I felt a flower in front of me, and the position of the stone wall seemed to change. There was a sound of footsteps behind the stone wall, and a group of people came out of it, holding torches and short knives, and it turned out to be Wang Gui and the dozens of imposing villagers!

"Ah Xiang, you are so naïve, do you think that you can escape from the village with them?" Wang Gui stood in front of a group of strong villagers, leaning slightly, and said in a gloomy voice, "Your father was so majestic at the beginning, but in the end, it was not that he couldn't escape with you. That's the fate of our village, you know? ”

Ah Xiang looked at Wang Gui, her face was a little pale, but her eyes exuded a wave of anger, "Wang Gui, how did you come around from behind?" You actually begged her, you traitor! ”

"Traitor?" Wang Gui seemed to have heard some big joke, and laughed, "Ah Xiang, compared to you who let go of the foreigner without permission, who is the traitor?" ”

"My abba said that this is our village's own business, and we can't involve outsiders." Ah Xiang's little face flashed with determination, and she sneered and said, "Every year at this time, in order to coax outsiders to sacrifice the snake god instead of you, your faces are too ugly, I have seen enough!" In the past, I watched coldly, but this time, I won't let you get what I say! ”

When Wang Gui heard that she had spoken her thoughts, he shouted angrily that the villagers had caught us. I reached out and grabbed a dagger in my bag, facing a villager who rushed over, and was about to make a move, but Gu Qihan grabbed my wrist.

"Don't resist." He whispered quickly, and I spread my hands and was bound up by the villagers obediently. Gu Qihan raised his eyebrows at me, telling me not to worry, and then he was grabbed tightly by several strong villagers. The villagers tied him up strongly, which shows that they were a little afraid of him.

And Yu Xiaorou, she has been holding Gu Qihan's arm tightly, looking at the fierce villagers with a frightened face, and seeing that Gu Qihan did not resist at this time, she also lowered her head and obediently accepted the villagers' grabbing.

It is estimated that seeing that she was weak and pitiful, the villagers did not tie her hands behind her back, but only tied her hands with a rope. Wang Gui threw the other end of the rope to a young man with an obscene face, after the young man took the rope, he dragged Yu Xiaorou to his side, and looked at her unscrupulously, the eyes, **naked, very disgusting, as if she had stripped off her clothes, Yu Xiaorou panicked, shrunk in fear, buried her head, stared at her toes, and didn't dare to say a word.

Ah Xiang originally reached out and grabbed a bag of medicine powder, but seeing that several of us had been controlled by the villagers, she had no choice but to let the villagers search all the medicine bags in her arms, and then cut her hands behind her back and tied them up.

A few of us were pushed and shoved to the open space in the middle of the village, where hundreds of villagers had gathered in the wide field, regardless of men, women, and children, all with numb expressions on their faces. The sculpture in the center of the field is covered with red silk, adding a bit of weird charm to the snake girl's face.

Wang Gui had already changed his clothes, his red sacrificial robe was hunting in the cold wind, he tried to straighten his back, stepped forward with a solemn look on his face, and knelt reverently in front of the statue of the snake girl.

"The snake god is above, my village has been blessed by the snake god for hundreds of years, and a man and a woman are selected every year to offer, and every family takes turns to sacrifice. Therefore, the wind and rain in the village are smooth, and the rice is harvested. This year's sacrifice is for these four people, and when the auspicious time comes, I will offer a clean offering for you to enjoy. ”

After Wang Gui finished speaking, he trembled and crawled beside the sculpture.

"Four? How is it four? There were already sharp-eyed villagers who saw Ah Xiang among us, and turned their heads to each other, "How can there be Ah Xiang?" Wasn't it their turn last year? ”

"Last year, Ah Xiang's father came out to sacrifice, and since then our village has been pointing to her to see a doctor. Some of the villagers said with sad expressions, but most of the villagers were numb and did not say a word.

Wang Gui stood up from in front of the statue of the snake girl, glanced around with a stern gaze, and said coldly, "Villager Ah Xiang dares to help outsiders escape, regardless of the lives of his fellow villagers. So as a punishment for the traitor, I propose to sacrifice her to the snake god along with these three men! ”
