The village chief felt his back tingle, and shook his head weakly, "Those are all legends, and besides, we believe in science now, and those legends are not credible." ”

"Don't believe it, don't believe it, what if it's because you haven't made offerings for so many years that the goddess wants to condemn your village?" Mi'er's words were cold and cold, and Lan Shimo and Zhu Yu looked at Mi'er at the same time, not knowing why she said this.

The village chief's face turned pale, "Little girl! That's how your teacher taught you? How can there be such gods and ghosts in this world? You'd better hurry up and eat! I don't think you can help with this! Please leave Daifuku Village tomorrow! The village chief stood up and hurriedly sat aside.

Mi'er sneered.

Zhu Yu and Lan Shimo looked at each other and became more and more unclear about the purpose of Mi'er.

The scene was awkward for a while.

Lan Shimo put down his chopsticks and walked to the village chief and sat down, "Uncle, don't be angry, she just wants to understand the customs here, and then find a way to let Wang Rui go home early to reunite with you, it's really weird to see so many snakes that appeared inexplicably on the way here today." Lan Shimo tried his best to alleviate the embarrassment.

The village chief turned his face to the side in silence, "I also heard about it from the older generation in the village. ”

Daifuku Village is a cursed village, and the never-ending fire of life will be forever dedicated to the goddess and will be enslaved for generations.

The old and dilapidated wooden houses are carved with various patterns and indecipherable symbols. A white-bearded old man walked out of the house wearing a shabby black dark robe, his eyes blazing into the sky, and the feeling of strangeness in his heart became more and more intense. He was the only wizard in the family, and tonight's starless night was empty and dazed. It was as if something was going to happen, but I couldn't predict what it was, and this was the only time I couldn't predict it since I became a wizard.

The old man had white hair and was thin. He looked at the people in the distance who were warming themselves around the fire, and his heart was sad and uneasy.

A few months ago, they fled to this area because of the war, the terrain was difficult to defend, and the patriarch decided to occupy the hill to defend against the enemy, but soon the enemy was outnumbered, and the mountain fell, and they fled to the cave of the goddess with the only remaining people. The soldiers outside the cave shouted for a fire, and the oil flowed down the mouth of the cave, and the general with torches forced them to surrender.

They swore not to surrender, and the fire swept down the mouth of the cave like a burning beast, and men and women shouted.

Just when everyone was desperate, sand and dust fell on the wall behind them, and a statue of a goddess appeared, with a woman's long hair fluttering, her skirt flying, and a kind eyebrow.

At that time, the goddess actually spoke, and she said, "The deity can keep your people safe forever, and in exchange, you must contribute a pair of pure people to the goddess's cave every year to serve the deity."

The old man knelt in front of the patriarch and begged to give up his small family to protect everyone. The patriarch endured the pain and selected two orphans to stay in the Goddess Cave.

Faced with the fear of being burned alive by the flames, the patriarch made a choice, as long as two servants can let the hundred and ten clansmen live, how to see how cost-effective.

Later, the fire was extinguished, and the soldiers outside the cave were turned into stone statues, which crumbled into gravel and drifted away the moment the sun came out.

This group has been going on for hundreds of years, and they are reluctant to give up their children, so they try not to worship anymore, and when they see that nothing terrible has happened in the village, they want to leave the country. However, they were cursed, and as soon as they left the village, they would die for various reasons, and gradually everyone did not dare to leave easily.

It's just that they are cursed to never leave this land.

The village chief gave a general explanation, but Lan Shimo didn't understand it even more, obviously he didn't leave this land, why could Wang Rui go to study so far away at the Sacred Heart Academy? Isn't it a contradiction?

When Zhu Yu heard that the village was cursed, he only felt creepy, especially those terrible snakes.

"Is it a basilisk?" It was the only thing she could think of, only a snake demon could drive a group of snakes.

Mi'er's gaze fell on the closed door behind Zhu Yu, and her gaze was deep.

After Lan Shimo's painstaking explanation, the village chief can be regarded as "forgiven" Mi'er's rudeness just now.

They went to their rooms to rest, Mi'er turned off the light, and in the dark room, there was only a bright light under the corner of the window, which was the light of the moonlight shining through the window lattice.

Lying on the bed, Zhu Yu couldn't sleep for a long time, "Mi'er, how did you find Wang Rui in the snake group?" Was Wang Rui already dead at that time, and then something took over her body? ”

Mi'er looked at the ceiling, Zhu Yu's idea was not unreasonable, but she felt that something was wrong.

"It's horrible, surrounded by snakes, it's creepy to think about." Zhu Yu shivered fiercely, "Mi'er, are you asleep?" I feel like I'm going to lose sleep tonight. ”

"Maybe I won't be able to sleep." Mi'er's faint voice came.

Zhu Yu suddenly turned over and sat up, his voice vigilant: "What sound?" Her eyes fell in the direction of the doorway, but as soon as she finished speaking, she fell straight back to the bed.

In the dark room, Mi'er got up and pushed the window open a crack, and the sound of deliberately suppressed footsteps was in her ears, she raised her hand to put the sleeping vermilion fish on the bed into the Linglong bracelet, and walked back to the bed to lie down.

The door opened with a "click", and someone looked inside with a candle, and saw that there was no movement inside, so he walked in with confidence.

"Aren't they two? How is there only one in bed? The old voice remembered by the door.

"Impossible, they are obviously two female babies!" The village chief didn't believe it, and went up with a flashlight to check that there was nothing to hide in the house, "Not good!" Another girl has run away! The village chief exclaimed when he saw the window open with a gap.

"You guys go and find it, don't let her out of Dafu Village!" Standing next to him was a dark-skinned man of twenty-five or sixteen, who waved his hand at several other strong men behind him and admonished.

Several people knew the seriousness of this matter and went out one after another.

Mi'er listened to the conversation of the visitor, and lay on the bed and pretended to be unconscious.

"Tie her hands with red silk!" The man hooked his hand and let in the white-haired old woman in the dark blue dress behind him.

The old woman walked into the house with a heavy face holding the red silk, and she looked at the crowd around her, and everyone's face was full of deep pain and pity, although they could not bear it, but they had to choose to sacrifice this girl for the sake of this village.

No one has ever seen what happens to the people who are enshrined, and from the words left by the older generation, they probably know that these people who are enshrined will not survive.

Just pity these two children.

Mi'er felt her hands tied in front of her, and the sound of someone leaving was whispering in her ears.

"Great Witch, prepare the sacrificial ceremony as soon as possible, these two must be sent to the Goddess Cave before dawn!" The man's voice was firm and powerful.

Two people? It seems that Lan Shimo will also be sacrificed to the goddess, he has eaten so many noodles, presumably he will sleep at this time, but he will not be in danger in front of the Taoist goddess cave.

"Don't worry, you're almost ready, and the ceremony will definitely be completed before dawn." The old woman nodded in response.

"I hope that Daifuku Village can return to normal." It was the earnest voice of the village chief.

Soon, something cold fell on the forehead, like a pen dipped in water to draw a pattern on the forehead.

"Great Witch, can you start?" The man whispered.

"That's it." The coldness on the forehead disappeared.

"Dawu, you go out first."

"Ah Cheng, what are you going to do?" The Great Witch raised his white-haired head, revealing a face that was wide and wide, and asked puzzledly.

"I'm watching her here." The man waved.

The old woman left with the porcelain bowl.

The man's gaze fell on the delicate and beautiful face of the girl on the bed, and on her forehead was a strange pattern that had just been painted with a special red potion.

In the dim light, her face was indescribably beautiful.
