In Luoxian Town, there is a thing that everyone knows, but no one will mention - changing wives.

The so-called wife swap is not a disgusting act such as exchanging wives, but because Luoxian Town is closed all year round, the town is so crowded, and after a thousand years, basically the blood is mixed together.

About 300 years ago, something happened in the town that almost destroyed the entire town. According to the existing records of the town, it should be that year, there were about forty or fifty newborn babies in the town, but there were more than a dozen of them who died early without disease, and almost half of the more than 30 babies who survived were fools with intellectual problems, that is, only a dozen of the more than 40 babies survived normally. In this way, it naturally caused a huge sensation throughout the town.

In fact, in the past, there were often babies who died early or had intellectual problems in the town, but because there were not many of them, everyone didn't pay much attention to them, even if someone said it, everyone just laughed it off, guessed behind it, and it passed, but that year was so serious that ordinary people naturally couldn't sit still. For a while, rumors spread in the town, most of them were ghosts, some said that they had offended the mountain god, some said that they had offended the water god, and the more outrageous rumor was that the ancestors felt that their sacrifices were not enough, and they needed to sacrifice boys and girls to calm the anger of the ancestors, which made the people of the town panic and everyone was in danger.

At that time, the patriarch didn't know what was going on, but in that case, he could only make a few sacrifices in the town according to the ancestral system, of course, the sacrifices were ordinary three animals, but they had no effect at all, and there were still children born who died prematurely or were stupid.

The sacrifice did not work, the rumors became more and more serious, and some people were even already looking for boys and girls, and the patriarch came forward to stop them, they didn't dare to say anything on the surface, but the resentment behind their backs became heavier and heavier, almost to the point of being out of control.

The patriarch also sensed the undercurrent of the town, but there was nothing he could do, and in the end there was really no way, he gritted his teeth and brought a good humanoid He Shou Wu, no one said, and went out of the mountain alone.

The group of people who wanted to sacrifice the boys and girls saw that the patriarch had disappeared, so they became even more unscrupulous, and finally really chose the two children, and despite the obstruction of their parents, they insisted on burning the two children to death in the ancestral shrine, for which the town almost made a murder.

Fortunately, at the last moment, the patriarch returned, he saved the two children, and severely punished the person responsible for the incident in front of everyone in the town. The principal was naturally not convinced, so he asked the patriarch for an explanation, and then the patriarch slowly told him what he had encountered in the days since he disappeared.

It turned out that in those few days, the patriarch disappeared because he went outside to look for immortals, and after several inquiries, he really let him meet in a market, and then he exchanged He Shou Wu for the answer of the immortals.

The fairy told him that the reason why the town was like this was not because the town was evil or something, but because the people in the town only intermarried with each other, which made it easy for people with similar blood to get married, which made their bloodlines go wrong, causing babies to die early or be stupid. If you want to solve it, it is not difficult, you only need to introduce some fresh blood from other places, and you can naturally solve the crisis of the town, otherwise, in the long run, the population of the town will only become smaller and smaller, until it dies.

After listening to the patriarch's explanation, the people in the town naturally panicked even more, and asked the patriarch to give a solution. The patriarch did not speak directly at that time, but dispersed the crowd, leaving only the patriarch of each surname and a few big families to discuss the matter.

After a few days, all the patriarchs and the big families announced together that every few years, the town would organize a secret event, that is, if there was a suitable girl in the family and a boy who needed to marry, the patriarch and several major families would take the lead in going out to find a suitable family to exchange, so as to improve the bloodline, which was called a wife exchange.

After several consultations, most of the people agreed to this matter, and of course, some people agreed, and some people naturally objected, and those who organized the sacrifice of boys and girls were particularly opposed, but few people agreed. After all, no one is sure that the next sacrifice will be made by their own children. However, the matter of changing wives is really not something that can be handled, so few people are willing to mention it. Over time, it became customary to change wives, but few people were willing to talk about it.

After that, there are still children who have died in the town and are stupid, but there are fewer and fewer children, and everyone can feel the changes here. In other words, the patriarch's method is indeed effective, which makes the prestige of the patriarch's vein reach an unprecedented height. However, it was already a little late at that time, and there were still a few surnames with few people, which completely disappeared into the town, leaving only a few empty tablets, which were still in the ancestral shrine of the town.

The custom of exchanging wives continues to this day, but the townspeople have noticed some problems. First, girls who marry outside the town can't go back to the town, and even say that they can't connect to the town, because once they get close, their bodies will have problems, ranging from fainting to death, not only them, but also some in-laws who want to accompany them back, the same experience, and even more serious. At this time, people realized that not everyone could enter the town.

Second, the women from the outside world need the patriarch to write their names on the family tree so that they can settle in the town, otherwise the situation will be exactly the same as that of all outsiders.

Third, once the people of the town are wandering for a long time, even if their names are still on the family tree, they will still be excluded from the town.

Fourth, except for newborns, the number of people who go out and those who come back should not be too different, just like a turnip and a pit, the number must be similar, otherwise all kinds of strange things will happen.

All of the above are all summed up by the town's continuous exploration for hundreds of years, and for this reason, there are even human lives in it.

Because of these restrictions, there was a time when almost no girls in the town were willing to marry, because then they had nowhere to go even if they were bullied outside. Later, in order to solve these problems, the town discussed with several parties and gave a guarantee that once they were bullied, the town would have special people to seek justice for them, just like the whole town was their maiden family, and the people who were exchanged to the town must not be bullied unless it was a major matter, otherwise the clan would be severely punished. In this way, the bloodline problem of the town was completely solved, and it continues to this day.

Ten years ago, when it was time to change wives in a small town, a girl who had just come of age was selected and sent to a mountain village far away from the town.

At the beginning, there were no problems, although the family that the girl married was not wealthy, but the family worked diligently and did not treat the girl badly, so she had no complaints about it. But when the girl gave birth to a girl for that family, everything changed.

On that day, the girl had just given birth to a child, and her body was weak, but the family didn't know why, so they didn't let the child feed, and even let her squeeze a small half bowl of milk and take it out.

Where does the girl who has just given birth get so much milk? So in the end, the girl not only failed to feed the child, but she was almost weaned for it, which made the girl have some resentment. It's just that the family specially prepared a lot of milk for her afterwards, and although she was resentful, she was not easy to attack.

For the next few days, the family still asked her to express a bowl of milk every day, but never told her why. The girl became more and more angry, and quarreled with the family several times during the period, but no one gave her an explanation. The girl had no choice but to endure it on her own.

But things went too far, and when she was able to walk on the ground, she was taken by the family to a temple, and she was locked up alone.

In the dark temple, the girl was terrified, but no matter how much she cried, no one opened the door for her. At this moment, something even more terrifying happened, and the idol in the temple actually spoke.

"Don't be noisy, don't cry, otherwise no matter how good the milk is, the taste will be worse."

The girl was so frightened that she couldn't even cry for a while.

At this time, a big cat with pure white hair, one eye like a blue crystal, and another eye like a green glass jumped out, sitting on top of the head of the idol, looking down at the girl.

He said to the girl, "Don't be afraid, I am the local mountain god, who has protected this land for decades, and I only want you to come because my god needs your milk in return." Rest assured, the gods will control the strength and try not to harm your life. ”

After saying that, the girl became even more frightened, and her body collapsed to the ground involuntarily.

The cat seemed to be used to seeing it, but it didn't care, it jumped off the altar and walked straight towards the girl, but when it was only a few steps away from the girl, the cat seemed to see something terrible, and its white hair exploded, and it instantly ran away, and then screamed: "Who are you?" How could there be the aura of a high spirit race on his body? ”

The girl couldn't understand what it was saying, and she couldn't answer its questions.

The cat, who called himself the god of the mountain, was terrified, and even though it was far enough, the white fur on its body showed no signs of softening, and it slowly retreated until it was completely integrated into the idol, and then shouted to the outside: "Take this woman back, and then expel her from the village, and never let her step into the village again." ”

The family that the girl married naturally did not dare to disobey, and even expelled the girl from the village overnight. But perhaps for the sake of the child, they also prepared a temporary shelter for the girl until the child was weaned.

After that, the girl was really homeless, but fortunately, Luoxian Town did not treat the girl badly, although they did not dare to find trouble with the family blessed by the cat god, but they also found a place for the girl to stay, one of the families surnamed Lu paid out of their own pockets to buy a lot of furniture for the girl, so that the girl did not have to worry about these external things, and the girl also had a home of her own.

After finishing the story, Feng Qing couldn't cry anymore, she looked at Lu Yangsheng and said, "I'm done, you must have guessed who the girl in the story is, right?" ”

Lu Yangsheng felt quite uncomfortable when he heard it, but he didn't know how to comfort Feng Qing's cousin, so he could only nod silently.

For a while, there was no sound in the room, only Feng Qing's endless tears wet a large part of the ground.
